investment portfolios. The shares described in this Prospectus represent
interests in the FedFund portfolio (the "Fund"), a money market portfolio.
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The Fund invests in a portfolio consisting of U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.

to such obligations.
Fund shares may not be purchased by individuals directly, but institutional
investors may purchase shares for accounts maintained by individuals. In
addition to FedFund shares, investors may purchase FedFund "Dollar" shares which
accrue daily dividends in the same manner as FedFund shares but bear all fees
payable by the Fund to institutional investors for certain services they provide
to the beneficial owners of such shares. (See "Management of the Fund-Service
Organizations.")
PNC Institutional Management Corporation ("PIMC") and PNC Bank, National
Association ("PNC Bank") serve as the Fund's adviser and sub-adviser,
respectively. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") and Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") serve
as the Fund's administrators. PDI also serves as the Fund's distributor.

SHARES OF THE FUND ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF OR GUARANTEED, ENDORSED,
OR OTHERWISE SUPPORTED BY PNC BANK CORP. OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT
INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER
AGENCY. AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND INVOLVES INVESTMENT RISKS,
INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL. THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS NET ASSET
VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.

institutional investors for services they provide to the beneficial owners of
such shares. (See "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")

You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment,
assuming (1) a 5% annual return and (2) redemption at the
end of each time period with respect to the following
shares:
FedFund shares: $2 $ 6 $10 $23
FedFund Dollar shares: $4 $14 $24 $54
</TABLE>
THE FOREGOING SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES OR RATE OF RETURN. ACTUAL EXPENSES AND RATE OF RETURN MAY BE GREATER OR
LESSER THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The purpose of the foregoing table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund will
bear directly or indirectly. In addition, institutional investors may charge
fees for providing shareholder administrative services in connection with their
customers' investment in FedFund Dollar shares. (For more complete descriptions
of the various costs and expenses, see "Management of the Fund" in this
Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.) The investment adviser and administrators have waived advisory and
administration fees or have reimbursed the Fund for some or all of its operating
expenses pursuant to an agreement that extends to January 18, 1996. The
foregoing table gives effect to this agreement. It is anticipated that they may
continue to do so on a voluntary basis thereafter. Absent fee waivers for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the estimated "Total Fund Operating
Expenses" for FedFund Shares and FedFund Dollar Shares would have been .30% and
.55%, respectively, of the average net assets of the FedFund portfolio. The
foregoing table has not been audited by the Fund's independent accountants.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The Fund invests in obligations issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities (in addition to direct
Treasury obligations) and repurchase agreements relating to such obligations.
Portfolio securities held by the Fund have remaining maturities of 397 days
(thirteen months) or less (with certain exceptions), subject to the quality,
diversification, and other requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and other rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The "instrumentalities" or "agencies" of the U.S. Government the
obligations of which may be purchased by FedFund include: the Central Bank for
Cooperatives, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Farmers Home
Administration, Federal Farm Credit Banks, Federal Financing Bank, Federal Home
Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Housing
Administration, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Federal
National Mortgage Association, Financing Corporation, General Services
Administration, Government National Mortgage Association, International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, Maritime Administration, Private Export Funding
Corp., Resolution Trust Company, Small Business Administration, Student Loan
Marketing Association, Tennessee Valley Authority and Washington D.C. Armory
Board. Some obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of
the U.S. Government are backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States; others are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S.
Treasury or are backed only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality
issuing the obligation.
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if
held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market
value of such securities may vary during the period a shareholder owns shares of
the Fund. Certain government securities held by the Fund may have remaining
maturities exceeding thirteen months if such securities provide for adjustments
in their interest rates not less frequently than every thirteen months. To the
extent consistent with its investment objectives, the Fund may invest in
Treasury receipts and other "stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, where the principal and interest components are traded
independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of
Securities program ("STRIPS"). Under the STRIPS program, the principal and
interest components are individually numbered and separately issued by the U.S.
Treasury at the request of depository financial institutions, which then trade
the component parts independently. Currently, the Fund only invests in
"stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government which are
registered under the STRIPS program.
The Fund may purchase government securities from financial institutions,
such as banks and broker-dealers, subject to the seller's agreement to
repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price ("repurchase agreements"). The
securities subject to a repurchase agreement may bear maturities exceeding
thirteen months, provided the repurchase agreement itself matures in one year or
less. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets in
repurchase agreements which do not provide for settlement within seven days. The
seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value of
the securities subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price
(including accrued interest). Default by or bankruptcy of the seller
5
<PAGE> 10
would, however, expose the Fund to possible loss because of adverse market
action or delay in
connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations.
The Fund may borrow funds for temporary purposes by entering into reverse
repurchase agreements in accordance with the investment restrictions described
below. Pursuant to such agreements, the Fund would sell portfolio securities to
financial institutions and agree to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and
price. The Fund would consider entering into reverse repurchase agreements to
avoid otherwise selling securities during unfavorable market conditions to meet
redemptions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market
value of the portfolio securities sold by the Fund may decline below the price
of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase.
The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield. The Fund will generally not pay for such
securities or start earning interest on them until they are received. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to
changes in value based upon changes in the general level of interest rates. The
Fund expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities will not exceed
25% of the value of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Fund
does not intend to purchase when-issued securities for speculative purposes but
only in furtherance of its investment objective.
The Fund may also lend its portfolio securities to financial institutions
in accordance with the investment restrictions described below. Such loans would
involve risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or in recovering the
securities loaned or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower
of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to
borrowers deemed by the Fund's investment adviser to be of good standing and
only when, in the adviser's judgment, the income to be earned from the loans
justifies the attendant risks.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's investment objective and policies described above are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Company's Board of Trustees without a vote
of shareholders. If there is a change in the investment objective, shareholders
should consider whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment in light of
their then current financial position and needs. The Fund's investment
limitations summarized below may not be changed without the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares. (A complete list of the
investment limitations that cannot be changed without a vote of shareholders is
contained in the Statement of Additional Information under "Investment
Objectives and Policies.")
The Fund may not:
1. Purchase securities other than U.S. Treasury bills, notes and
other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities, some of which may be subject to repurchase
agreements.
2. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and then in
an amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets, or
mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets except in connection with any
such borrowing and in amounts not in excess of the lesser of the dollar
amounts borrowed or 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time
of such borrowing.
6
<PAGE> 11
3. Make loans except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt
obligations in accordance with its investment objective and policies, may
enter into repurchase agreements for securities and may lend portfolio
securities against collateral consisting of cash or securities which are
consistent with the Fund's permitted investments, which is equal at all
times to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. There is no
investment restriction on the amount of securities that may be loaned,
except that payments received on such loans, including amounts received
during the loan on account of interest on the securities loaned, may not
(together with all non-qualifying income) exceed 10% of the Fund's annual
gross income (without offset for realized capital gains) unless, in the
opinion of counsel to the Company, such amounts are qualifying income under
federal income tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Fund shares are sold at the net asset value per share next determined after
receipt of a purchase order by PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent. Purchase orders
for shares are accepted by the Fund only on days on which both New York Stock
Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia are open for business (a
"Business Day") and must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware, by
telephone (800-441-7450; in Delaware: 302-791-5350); or through the Fund's
computer access program. Orders received before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, for
which payment has been received by PNC Bank, the Fund's custodian, will be
executed at 12:00 noon. Orders received after 12:00 noon and before 2:30 P.M.,
Eastern time, (or orders received earlier in the same day for which payment has
not been received by 12:00 noon) will be executed at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, if
payment has been received by PNC Bank by that time. Orders received at other
times, and orders for which payment has not been received by 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, will not be accepted, and notice thereof will be given to the institution
placing the order. (Payment for orders which are not received or accepted will
be returned after prompt inquiry to the sending institution.) The Fund may in
its discretion reject any order for shares.
Payment for Fund shares may be made only in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to PNC Bank. The minimum initial investment by an
institution is $5,000; however, broker-dealers and other institutional investors
may set a higher minimum for their customers. There is no minimum subsequent
investment.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an institution's receipt of
compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that are invested in Dollar
shares. (See also "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
Institutions, including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and
investment advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the
SEC, the Department of Labor or state securities commissions, should consult
their legal advisors before investing fiduciary funds in Dollar shares. (See
also "Management of the Fund--Banking Laws.")
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Redemption orders must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware, in
the manner described under "Purchase Procedures." Shares are redeemed at the net
asset value per share next determined after PFPC's receipt of the redemption
order. While the Fund intends to use its
7
<PAGE> 12
best efforts to maintain its net asset value per share at $1.00, the proceeds
paid to a shareholder upon redemption may be more or less than the amount
invested depending upon a share's net asset value at the time of redemption.
Payment for redeemed shares for which a redemption order is received by
PFPC before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day is normally made in
federal funds wired to the redeeming shareholder on the same day. A shareholder
of record located in the Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone may receive
redemption proceeds wired the same day in federal funds to a destination within
such time zone if its redemption order is received before 2:30 P.M., Eastern
time, or 1:30 P.M., Eastern time, respectively. Payment for other redemption
orders which are received between 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, or on
a day when PNC Bank is closed, is normally wired in federal funds on the next
day following redemption that PNC Bank is open for business.
The Fund shall have the right to redeem shares in any account if the value
of the account is less than $1,000 after sixty-days' prior written notice to the
shareholder. Any such redemption shall be effected at the net asset value per
share next determined after the redemption order is entered. If during the sixty
day period the shareholder increases the value of its account to $1,000 or more,
no such redemption shall take place. In addition, the Fund may redeem shares
involuntarily or suspend the right of redemption under certain special
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information."
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined by PIMC as of 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, on each day on which both the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the
New York Stock Exchange are open for business. Currently, one or both of these
institutions are closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (observed). The net asset value per share of each class of the
Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets
belonging to the Fund, subtracting liabilities attributable to each class, and
dividing the result by the total number of the outstanding shares of each class.
In computing net asset value, the Fund uses the amortized cost method of
valuation as described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information." The Fund's net asset value per
share for purposes of pricing purchase and redemption orders is determined
independently of the net asset values of the shares of the Company's other
investment portfolios.
Fund shares are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Institutional
investors purchasing or holding Fund shares for their customer accounts may
charge customers fees for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts. A customer should, therefore, consider the terms
of its account with an institution before purchasing Fund shares. An institution
purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf of its customers is responsible for
transmitting orders to the Fund in accordance with its customer agreements.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER
PIMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Asset Management Group, Inc., which
is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, serves as the Fund's
investment adviser. PIMC was organized in 1977 by PNC Bank to perform advisory
services for investment companies and has its principal offices at 400 Bellevue
Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809. PNC Asset Management Group, Inc.'s
principal business address is 1835 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102. PNC Bank serves as the Fund's sub-adviser. PNC Bank is a wholly owned,
indirect subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp., and its principal business address is
Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102. PNC Bank Corp. is
a multi-bank holding company. PIMC and PNC Bank also serve as adviser and
sub-adviser, respectively, to the Company's T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal
Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund portfolios.
PNC Bank Corp., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the eleventh
largest bank holding company in the United States. Categorized as a super
regional bank holding company, PNC Bank Corp. operates over 500 branch offices
in six U.S. states.
PNC Bank's Investment Management and Trust Division, headquartered in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, traces its money management services to individuals
and institutions to the year 1847, and is the second largest bank manager of
investments for individuals in the U.S. with $28 billion in discretionary trust
assets under management.
9
<PAGE> 14
PNC Financial Services Group is PNC Bank Corp.'s mutual fund complex,
headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. This group includes PIMC, PFPC, and PNC
Bank. In 1973, Provident National Bank (predecessor to PNC Bank) commenced
advising the first institutional money market mutual fund -- a U.S.
dollar-denominated constant net asset value fund -- offered in the United
States.
The PNC Financial Services Group is one of the largest U.S. bank managers
of mutual funds with assets currently under management in excess of $30 billion.
This group, through PFPC and PFPC International Ltd, is also a leading mutual
fund service provider having contractual relationships with approximately 400
mutual funds with 3.5 million shareholders and in excess of $106 billion in
assets. This group, through its PNC Institutional Investment Service, provides
investment research to some 250 financial institutions located in the United
States and abroad. PNC Bank provides custodial services for approximately $217
billion in assets, including $106 billion in mutual fund assets.
As adviser, PIMC manages the Fund's portfolio and is responsible for all
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. PIMC also maintains the
Fund's financial accounts and records and computes the Fund's net asset value
and net income. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on
the combined average net assets of the Fund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal
Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund. The advisory fee is allocated among these
Funds in proportion to their relative net assets. In addition, PIMC and the
administrators have agreed to reduce the advisory and administration fees
otherwise payable to them and to reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses
to the extent necessary to ensure that its operating expense ratio (excluding
fees paid to Service Organizations pursuant to Servicing Agreements) does not
exceed .18% of the Fund's average net assets. After January 18, 1996, PIMC and
the administrators may terminate this agreement to reduce fees and limit
expenses on 120-days' written notice to the Fund. Any fees waived or expenses
reimbursed by PIMC and the administrators with respect to a particular fiscal
year are not recoverable. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid investment advisory fees aggregating .07% of its average net assets. Absent
fee waivers, advisory fees would have been .13% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
As sub-adviser, PNC Bank provides research, credit analysis and
recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments, and supplies PIMC with
certain computer facilities, personnel and other services. For its sub-advisory
and other services, PNC Bank is entitled to receive from PIMC an amount equal to
75% of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to PIMC (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances). The sub-advisory fees paid by PIMC to PNC Bank have no
effect on the advisory fees payable by the Fund to PIMC. PNC Bank also serves as
the Fund's custodian. The services provided by PNC Bank and PIMC and the fees
payable by the Fund for these services are described in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Management of the Funds."
ADMINISTRATORS
PFPC, whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,
Delaware 19809, and PDI whose principal business address is 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, serve as co-administrators. PFPC is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. A majority of the
outstanding stock of PDI is owned by its officers. The administrative services
provided by the administrators, which are described more fully in the
10
<PAGE> 15
Statement of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds," include
providing and supervising the operation of an automated data processing system
to process purchase and redemption orders; assisting in maintaining the Fund's
Wilmington, Delaware office; performing administrative services in connection
with the Fund's computer access program maintained to facilitate shareholder
access to the Fund; accumulating information for and coordinating the
preparation of reports to the Fund's shareholders and the SEC; and maintaining
the registration or qualification of the Fund's shares for sale under state
securities laws.
For their administrative services, the administrators are entitled jointly
to receive a fee computed daily and payable monthly, determined in the same
manner as PIMC's advisory fee described above. (For information regarding the
administrators' obligations to waive administrative fees otherwise payable to
them and to reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, see "Investment Adviser
and Sub-Adviser" above.) The Fund also reimburses each administrator for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Funds'
computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid PFPC and PDI administration fees aggregating .07% of its average net
assets. Absent fee waivers, administration fees would have been .13% of the
Fund's average net assets.
PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing
agent. The transfer agent's address is P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware
19885-9628. The services provided by PFPC and PDI and the fees payable by the
Fund for these services are described in the Statement of Additional Information
under "Management of the Funds."
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Its principal offices are
located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Fund
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent. The
distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons
who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding preparation and printing
expenses necessary for continued registration of the Fund's shares) and of
printing and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by
the Fund to the distributor for its distribution services.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
Institutional investors, such as banks, savings and loan associations and
other financial institutions, including affiliates of PNC Bank Corp. ("Service
Organizations"), may purchase Dollar shares. FedFund Dollar shares are identical
in all respects to the Company's FedFund shares except that they bear the
service fees described below and enjoy certain exclusive voting rights on
matters relating to these fees. The Fund will enter into an agreement with each
Service Organization which purchases Dollar shares requiring it to provide
support services to its customers who are the beneficial owners of Dollar shares
in consideration of the Fund's payment of .25% (on an annualized basis) of the
average daily net assets of the Dollar shares held by the Service Organization
for the benefit of customers. Such services, which are described more fully in
the Statement of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds--Service
Organizations," include aggregating and processing purchase and redemption
requests from customers and placing net purchase and redemption orders with
PFPC; processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of customers;
providing information periodically to customers showing their positions in
Dollar shares; and providing sub-accounting or the information
11
<PAGE> 16
necessary for sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares beneficially owned by
customers. Under the terms of the agreements, Service Organizations are required
to provide to their customers a schedule of any fees that they may charge to the
customers relating to the investment of the customers' assets in Dollar shares.
FedFund shares are sold to institutions that have not entered into servicing
agreements with the Fund in connection with their investments.
EXPENSES
Except as noted above and in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Funds--Custodian and Transfer Agent," the Fund's service
contractors bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their
services. Similarly, the Fund bears the expenses incurred in its operations. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund's total expenses with respect
to FedFund shares and FedFund Dollar shares were .18% and .43% (net of fee
waivers of .12% and .12%, respectively) of the average net assets of the FedFund
shares and the FedFund Dollar shares, respectively. With regard to fees paid
exclusively by Dollar shares, see "Service Organizations" above.
BANKING LAWS
Banking laws and regulations presently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company engaged continuously in the issuance of
its shares, and prohibit banks generally from issuing, underwriting, selling or
distributing securities such as Fund shares. Such banking laws and regulations
do not prohibit such a holding company or affiliate or banks generally from
acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such an investment
company, or from purchasing shares of such a company for or upon the order of
customers. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC, as well as some Service Organizations, are
subject to such banking laws and regulations, but believe they may perform the
services for the Fund contemplated by their respective agreements, this
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information without violating applicable
banking laws or regulations.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of bank Service Organizations in connection with the
provision of support services to their customers, the Fund might be required to
alter or discontinue its arrangements with Service Organizations and change its
method of operations with respect to Dollar shares. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Fund's method of operations would affect its net
asset value per share or result in a financial loss to any customer.
DIVIDENDS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to dividends and distributions
arising only from the net investment income and capital gains, if any, earned on
its investments. The Fund's net investment income is declared daily as a
dividend to its shareholders of record at the close of business on the day of
declaration. Shares begin accruing dividends on the day the purchase order for
the shares is executed and continue to accrue dividends through the day before
the redemption order for the shares is executed. Dividends are paid monthly by
check, or by wire transfer if requested in writing by the shareholder, within
five business days after the end of the month or within five business days after
a redemption of all of a shareholder's shares of a particular class. The Fund
does not expect to realize net long-term capital gains.
12
<PAGE> 17
Dividends are determined in the same manner for each share of the Fund.
Dollar shares bear all the expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. As a
result, at any given time, the net yield on FedFund Dollar shares is
approximately .25% lower than the net yield on FedFund shares.
Institutional shareholders may elect to have their dividends reinvested in
additional full and fractional shares of the same class of shares to which such
dividends are declared at the net asset value of such shares on the payment
date. Reinvested dividends receive the same tax treatment as dividends paid in
cash. Such election, or any revocation thereof, must be made in writing to PFPC
at P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware 19885-9628, and will become effective
after its receipt by PFPC with respect to dividends paid.
PFPC, as transfer agent, will send each Fund shareholder or its authorized
representative an annual statement designating the amount, if any, of any
dividends and distributions made during each year and their federal tax
qualification.
TAXES
The Fund qualified in its last taxable year and intends to qualify in
future years as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A regulated investment company is generally
exempt from federal income tax on amounts distributed to its shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that the Fund distribute to its
shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for such
year. In general, the Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income (including interest and short-term capital gains, if any),
subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net long-term
capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss, if any,
for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
investment company taxable income each year. Such distributions will be taxable
as ordinary income to the Fund's shareholders that are not currently exempt from
federal income taxes, whether such income is received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares. (Federal income taxes for distributions to an IRA or a
qualified retirement plan are deferred under the Code.) It is anticipated that
none of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the dividends received
deduction for corporations. The Fund does not expect to realize long-term
capital gains and therefore does not expect to distribute any "capital gain
dividends," as described in the Code.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be deemed to have
been received by the shareholders and paid by the Fund on December 31 of such
year, in the event such dividends are actually paid during January of the
following year.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. As indicated
above, IRAs receive special tax treatment. No attempt is made to present a
detailed explanation of the federal, state or local income tax treatment of the
Fund or its shareholders, and this discussion is not intended as a substitute
for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the Fund should
consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.
13
<PAGE> 18
YIELDS
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders,
"yields" and "effective yields" for FedFund shares and FedFund Dollar shares may
be quoted. Yield quotations are computed separately for FedFund shares and
FedFund Dollar shares. The "yield" quoted in advertisements for a particular
class or sub-class of Fund shares refers to the income generated by an
investment in such shares over a specified period (such as a seven-day period)
identified in the advertisement. This income is then "annualized." That is, the
amount of income generated by the investment during that period is assumed to be
generated for each such period over a 52-week or one-year period and is shown as
a percentage of the investment. The "effective-yield" is calculated similarly
but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in a particular class
or sub-class is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly
higher than the "yield" because of the compounding effect of this assumed
reinvestment.
The Fund's yields may be compared to those of other mutual funds with
similar objectives, to stock or other relevant indices, or to rankings prepared
by independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor
the performance of mutual funds. For example, such data are reported in national
financial publications such as IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R), The Wall
Street Journal, and The New York Times, reports prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., and publications of a local or regional nature.
The Fund's yield figures for FedFund shares and FedFund Dollar shares
represent the Fund's past performance, will fluctuate, and should not be
considered as representative of future results. The yield of any investment is
generally a function of portfolio quality and maturity, type of investment and
operating expenses. Any fees charged by Service Organizations or other
institutional investors directly to their customers in connection with
investments in Fund shares are not reflected in the Fund's yield calculations;
and, such fees, if charged, would reduce the actual return received by customers
on their investments. The methods used to compute the Fund's yields are
described in more detail in the Statement of Additional Information. Investors
may call 800-821-6006 (FedFund shares code: 30; FedFund Dollar shares code: 31)
to obtain current-yield information.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND MISCELLANEOUS
The Company is a Pennsylvania business trust established on May 14, 1975.
Effective March 2, 1987, the Company's name was changed from Trust for
Short-Term Federal Securities to Trust for Federal Securities. The Company
commenced operations of the Fund in October, 1975.
The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares into one or
more additional classes of shares. Pursuant to such authority, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the issuance of fourteen classes of shares designated as
FedFund, FedFund Dollar, T-Fund, T-Fund Dollar, FedCash, FedCash Dollar, T-Cash,
T-Cash Dollar, Federal Trust, Federal Trust Dollar, Treasury Trust, Treasury
Trust Dollar, Short Government and Short Government Dollar. The Declaration of
Trust further authorizes the trustees to classify or reclassify any class of
shares into one or more sub-classes.

THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCORPORATED
HEREIN RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUND AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE FUND.
INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S T-FUND,
FEDCASH, T-CASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND, TREASURY TRUST FUND, AND SHORT GOVERNMENT
FUND PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE PORTFOLIOS BY
CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Company will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a member of the Board of Trustees upon written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company
entitled to vote.
Each FedFund share and FedFund Dollar share represents an equal
proportionate interest in the assets belonging to the Fund. Each share is
without par value and has no preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for
payment as described in this Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
Holders of the Company's FedFund shares and FedFund Dollar shares will vote
in the aggregate and not by class or sub-class on all matters, except where
otherwise required by law and except that only Dollar shares will be entitled to
vote on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's
arrangements with Service Organizations. Further, shareholders of all of the
Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio except as
otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the
matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a
particular portfolio. (See the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Description Concerning Fund Shares" for examples where the 1940 Act
requires voting by portfolio.) Shareholders of the Company are entitled to one
vote for each full share held (irrespective of class, sub-class, or portfolio)
and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not
cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
shares of the Company may elect all of the trustees.
For information concerning the redemption of Fund shares and possible
restrictions on their transferability, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares."
As stated above, the Company is organized as a trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for the
obligations of the trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not
because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.

and security of principal. The Fund invests in a portfolio consisting of U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and repurchase
agreements relating to direct Treasury obligations.
Fund shares may not be purchased by individuals directly, but institutional

addition to T-Fund shares, investors may purchase T-Fund "Dollar" shares which
accrue daily dividends in the same manner as T-Fund shares but bear all fees

Organizations.")
PNC Institutional Management Corporation ("PIMC") and PNC Bank, National

respectively. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") and Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") serve
as the Fund's administrators. PDI also serves as the Fund's distributor.
SHARES OF THE FUND ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF OR GUARANTEED, ENDORSED,
OR OTHERWISE SUPPORTED BY PNC BANK CORP. OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT

AGENCY. AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND INVOLVES INVESTMENT
RISKS, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL.
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL BE
ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS NET ASSET VALUE
OF $1.00 PER SHARE.

BACKGROUND AND EXPENSE INFORMATION
Two classes of shares are offered by this Prospectus: T-Fund shares and
T-Fund Dollar shares. Shares of each class represent equal, pro rata interests
in the Fund and accrue daily dividends in the same manner except that the Dollar
shares bear fees payable by the Fund (at the rate of .25% per annum) to
institutional investors for services they provide to the beneficial owners of
such shares. (See "Management of the Fund -- Service Organizations.")

You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000
investment, assuming (1) a 5% annual return and
(2) redemption at the end of each time period with
respect to the following shares:
T-Fund shares: $2 $ 6 $10 $23
T-Fund Dollar shares: $4 $14 $24 $54
</TABLE>
THE FOREGOING SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES OR RATE OF RETURN. ACTUAL EXPENSES AND RATE OF RETURN MAY BE GREATER OR
LESSER THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The purpose of the foregoing table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund will
bear directly or indirectly. In addition, institutional investors may charge
fees for providing shareholder administrative services in connection with their
customers' investment in T-Fund Dollar shares. (For more complete descriptions
of the various costs and expenses, see "Management of the Fund" in this
Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.) The investment adviser and administrators have waived advisory and
administration fees or have reimbursed the Fund for some or all of its operating
expenses pursuant to an agreement that extends to January 18, 1996. The
foregoing table gives effect to this agreement. It is anticipated that they may
continue to do so on a voluntary basis thereafter. Absent fee waivers for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the estimated "Total Fund Operating
Expenses" for T-Fund Shares and T-Fund Dollar Shares would have been .29% and
.54%, respectively, of the average net assets of the T-Fund portfolio. The
foregoing table has not been audited by the Fund's independent accountants.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The Fund invests solely in direct obligations of the
U.S. Treasury, such as Treasury bills and notes and repurchase agreements
relating to direct Treasury obligations. Portfolio securities held by the Fund
have remaining maturities of 397 days (thirteen months) or less (with certain
exceptions), subject to the quality, diversification, and other requirements of
Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")
and other rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government have historically
involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to
fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary
during the period a shareholder owns shares of the Fund. Certain government
securities held by the Fund may have remaining maturities exceeding thirteen
months if such securities provide for adjustments in their interest rates not
less frequently than every thirteen months. To the extent consistent with its
investment objectives, the Fund may invest in Treasury receipts and other
"stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, where the
principal and interest components are traded independently under the Separate
Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities program ("STRIPS").
Under the STRIPS program, the principal and interest components are individually
numbered and separately issued by the U.S. Treasury at the request of depository
financial institutions, which then trade the component parts independently.
Currently, the Fund only invests in "stripped" securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government which are registered under the STRIPS program.
The Fund may purchase government securities from financial institutions,
such as banks and broker-dealers, subject to the seller's agreement to
repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price ("repurchase agreements"). The
securities subject to a repurchase agreement may bear maturities exceeding
thirteen months, provided the repurchase agreement itself matures in one year or
less. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets in
repurchase agreements which do not provide for settlement within seven days. The
seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value of
the securities subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price
(including accrued interest). Default by or bankruptcy of the seller would,
however, expose the Fund to possible loss because of adverse market action or
delay in connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations.
The Fund may borrow funds for temporary purposes by entering into reverse
repurchase agreements in accordance with the investment restrictions described
below. Pursuant to such agreements, the Fund would sell portfolio securities to
financial institutions and agree to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and
price. The Fund would consider entering into reverse repurchase agreements to
avoid otherwise selling securities during unfavorable market conditions to meet
redemptions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market
value of the portfolio securities sold by the Fund may decline below the price
of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase.
The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield. The Fund will generally not pay for such
securities or start earning interest on them until they are received. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to
5
<PAGE> 27
changes in value based upon changes in the general level of interest rates. The
Fund expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities will not exceed
25% of the value of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Fund
does not intend to purchase when-issued securities for speculative purposes but
only in furtherance of its investment objective.
The Fund may also lend its portfolio securities to financial institutions
in accordance with the investment restrictions described below. Such loans would
involve risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or in recovering the
securities loaned or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower
of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to
borrowers deemed by the Fund's investment adviser to be of good standing and
only when, in the adviser's judgment, the income to be earned from the loans
justifies the attendant risks.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's investment objective and policies described above are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Company's Board of Trustees without a vote
of shareholders. If there is a change in the investment objective, shareholders
should consider whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment in light of
their then current financial position and needs. The Fund's investment
limitations summarized below may not be changed without the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares. (A complete list of the
investment limitations that cannot be changed without a vote of shareholders is
contained in the Statement of Additional Information under "Investment
Objectives and Policies.")
The Fund may not:
1. Purchase securities other than direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury
such as Treasury bills and notes, some of which may be subject to repurchase
agreements.
2. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and then in an
amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets, or mortgage,
pledge or hypothecate its assets except in connection with any such borrowing
and in amounts not in excess of the lesser of the dollar amounts borrowed or 10%
of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time of such borrowing.
3. Make loans except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt obligations in
accordance with its investment objective and policies, may enter into repurchase
agreements for securities and may lend portfolio securities against collateral
consisting of cash or securities which are consistent with the Fund's permitted
investments, which is equal at all times to at least 100% of the value of the
securities loaned. There is no investment restriction on the amount of
securities that may be loaned, except that payments received on such loans,
including amounts received during the loan on account of interest on the
securities loaned, may not (together with all non-qualifying income) exceed 10%
of the Fund's annual gross income (without offset for realized capital gains)
unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such amounts are qualifying
income under federal income tax provisions applicable to regulated investment
companies.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Fund shares are sold at the net asset value per share next determined after
receipt of a purchase order by PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent. Purchase orders
for shares are accepted by the Fund only on days on which both the New York
Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, are open for
business (a "Business Day") and must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington,
Delaware, by telephone (800-441-7450; in Delaware: 302-791-5350); or through the
Fund's computer access program. Orders received before 12:00 noon, Eastern time,
for which payment has been received by PNC Bank the Fund's custodian will be
executed at 12:00 noon. Orders received after 12:00 noon and before 2:30 P.M.,
Eastern time, (or orders received earlier in the same day for which payment has
not been received by 12:00 noon) will be executed at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, if
payment has been received by PNC Bank by that time. Orders received at other
times, and orders for which payment has not been received by 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, will not be accepted, and notice thereof will be given to the institution
placing the order. (Payment for orders which are not received or accepted will
be returned after prompt inquiry to the sending institution.) The Fund may in
its discretion reject any order for shares.
Payment for Fund shares may be made only in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to PNC Bank. The minimum initial investment by an
institution is $5,000; however, broker-dealers and other institutional investors
may set a higher minimum for their customers. There is no minimum subsequent
investment.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an institution's receipt of
compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that are invested in Dollar
shares. (See also "Management of the Fund -- Service Organizations.")
Institutions, including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and
investment advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the
SEC, the Department of Labor or state securities commissions, should consult
their legal advisors before investing fiduciary funds in Dollar shares. (See
also "Management of the Fund -- Banking Laws.")
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Redemption orders must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware, in
the manner described under "Purchase Procedures." Shares are redeemed at the net
asset value per share next determined after PFPC's receipt of the redemption
order. While the Fund intends to use its best efforts to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00, the proceeds paid to a shareholder upon redemption may
be more or less than the amount invested depending upon a share's net asset
value at the time of redemption.
Payment for redeemed shares for which a redemption order is received by
PFPC before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day is normally made in
federal funds wired to the redeeming shareholder on the same business day. A
shareholder of record located in the Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone may
receive redemption proceeds wired the same day in federal funds to a destination
within such time zone if its redemption order is received before 2:30 P.M.,
Eastern time, or 1:30 P.M., Eastern time, respectively. Payment for other
redemption orders which are received between 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, or on a day when PNC
7
<PAGE> 29
Bank is closed, is normally wired in federal funds on the next day following
redemption that PNC Bank is open for business.
The Fund shall have the right to redeem shares in any account if the value
of the account is less than $1,000 after sixty-days' prior written notice to the
shareholder. Any such redemption shall be effected at the net asset value per
share next determined after the redemption order is entered. If during the sixty
day period the shareholder increases the value of its account to $1,000 or more,
no such redemption shall take place. In addition, the Fund may redeem shares
involuntarily or suspend the right of redemption under certain special
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information."
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined by PIMC as of 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, on each day on which both the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the
New York Stock Exchange are open for business. Currently, one or both of these
institutions are closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (observed). The net asset value per share of each class of the
Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets
belonging to the Fund, subtracting liabilities attributable to each class, and
dividing the result by the total number of the outstanding shares of each class.
In computing net asset value, the Fund uses the amortized cost method of
valuation as described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information." The Fund's net asset value per
share for purposes of pricing purchase and redemption orders is determined
independently of the net asset values of the shares of the Company's other
investment portfolios.
Fund shares are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Institutional
investors purchasing or holding Fund shares for their customer accounts may
charge customers fees for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts. A customer should, therefore, consider the terms
of its account with an institution before purchasing Fund shares. An institution
purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf of its customers is responsible for
transmitting orders to the Fund in accordance with its customer agreements.

principal business address is 1835 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102. PNC Bank serves as the Fund's sub-adviser. PNC Bank is a wholly owned,
indirect subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. and its principal business address is
Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102. PNC Bank Corp. is
a multi-bank holding company. PIMC and PNC Bank also serve as adviser and
sub-adviser, respectively, to the Company's FedFund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal
Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund portfolios.
PNC Bank Corp., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the eleventh
largest bank holding company in the United States. Categorized as a super
regional bank holding company, PNC Bank Corp. operates over 500 branch offices
in six U.S. states.
PNC Bank's Investment Management and Trust Division, headquartered in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, traces its money management services to individuals
and institutions to the year 1847, and is the second largest bank manager of
investments for individuals in the U.S. with $28 billion in discretionary trust
assets under management.
PNC Financial Services Group is PNC Bank Corp.'s mutual fund complex,
headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. This group includes PIMC, PFPC and PNC
Bank. In 1973, Provident National Bank (predecessor to PNC Bank) commenced
advising the first institutional money market mutual fund -- a U.S.
dollar-denominated constant net asset value fund -- offered in the United
States.
The PNC Financial Services Group is one of the largest U.S. bank managers
of mutual funds with assets currently under management in excess of $30 billion.
This group, through PFPC and PFPC International Ltd, is also a leading mutual
fund service provider having contractual
9
<PAGE> 31
relationships with approximately 400 mutual funds with 3.5 million shareholders
and in excess of $106 billion in assets. This group, through its PNC
Institutional Investment Service, provides investment research to some 250
financial institutions located in the United States and abroad.. PNC Bank
provides custodial services for approximately $217 billion in assets, including
$106 billion in mutual fund assets.
As adviser, PIMC manages the Fund's portfolio and is responsible for all
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. PIMC also maintains the
Fund's financial accounts and records and computes the Fund's net asset value
and net income. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on
the combined average net assets of the Fund, FedFund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal
Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund. The advisory fee is allocated among these
funds in proportion to their relative net assets. In addition, PIMC and the
administrators have agreed to reduce the advisory and administration fees
otherwise payable to them and to reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses
to the extent necessary to ensure that its operating expense ratio (excluding
fees paid to Service Organizations pursuant to Servicing Agreements) does not
exceed .18% of the Fund's average net assets. After January 18, 1996, PIMC and
the administrators may terminate this agreement to reduce fees and limit
expenses on 120-days' written notice to the Fund. Any fees waived by PIMC with
respect to a particular fiscal year are not recoverable. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1994, the Fund paid investment advisory fees aggregating .07%
of its average net assets. Absent fee waivers, the advisory fees would have been
.13% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
As sub-adviser, PNC Bank provides research, credit analysis and
recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments, and supplies PIMC with
certain computer facilities, personnel and other services. For its sub-advisory
and other services, PNC Bank is entitled to receive from PIMC an amount equal to
75% of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to PIMC (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances). The sub-advisory fees paid by PIMC to PNC Bank have no
effect on the advisory fees payable by the Fund to PIMC. PNC Bank also serves as
the Fund's custodian. The services provided by PNC Bank and PIMC and the fees
payable by the Fund for these services are described in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Management of the Funds."
ADMINISTRATOR
PFPC, whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,
Delaware 19809, and PDI whose principal business address is 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, serve as co-administrators. PFPC is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. A majority of the
outstanding stock of PDI is owned by its officers. The administrative services
provided by the administrators, which are described more fully in the Statement
of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds," include providing and
supervising the operation of an automated data processing system to process
purchase and redemption orders; assisting in maintaining the Fund's Wilmington,
Delaware office; performing administrative services in connection with the
Fund's computer access program maintained to facilitate shareholder access to
the Fund; accumulating information for and coordinating the preparation of
reports to the Fund's shareholders and the SEC; and maintaining the registration
or qualification of the Fund's shares for sale under state securities laws.
10
<PAGE> 32
For their administrative services, the administrators are entitled jointly
to receive a fee computed daily and payable monthly, determined in the same
manner as PIMC's advisory fee described above. (For information regarding the
administrators' obligations to waive administrative fees otherwise payable to
them and to reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, see "Investment Adviser
and Sub-Adviser" above.) The Fund also reimburses each administrator for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Funds'
computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid PFPC and PDI administration fees aggregating .07% of its average net
assets. Absent fee waivers, administration fees would have been .13% of the
Fund's average net assets.
PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing
agent. The transfer agent's address is P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware
19885-9628. The services provided by PFPC and PDI and the fees payable by the
Fund for these services are described in the Statement of Additional Information
under "Management of the Funds."
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Its principal offices are
located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Fund
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent. The
distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons
who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding preparation and printing
expenses necessary for the continued registration of the Fund's shares) and of
printing and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by
the Fund to the distributor for its distribution services.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
Institutional investors, such as banks, savings and loan associations and
other financial institutions, including affiliates of PNC Bank Corp. ("Service
Organizations"), may purchase Dollar shares. T-Fund Dollar shares are identical
in all respects to the Company's T-Fund shares except that they bear the service
fees described below and enjoy certain exclusive voting rights on matters
relating to these fees. The Fund will enter into an agreement with each Service
Organization which purchases Dollar shares requiring it to provide support
services to its customers who are the beneficial owners of Dollar shares in
consideration of the Fund's payment of .25% (on an annualized basis) of the
average daily net assets of the Dollar shares held by the Service Organization
for the benefit of customers. Such services, which are described more fully in
the Statement of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds--Service
Organizations," include aggregating and processing purchase and redemption
requests from customers and placing net purchase and redemption orders with
PFPC; processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of customers;
providing information periodically to customers showing their positions in
Dollar shares; and providing sub-accounting or the information necessary for
sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares beneficially owned by customers.
Under the terms of the agreements, Service Organizations are required to provide
to their customers a schedule of any fees that they may charge to the customers
relating to the investment of the customers' assets in Dollar shares. T-Fund
shares are sold to institutions that have not entered into servicing agreements
with the Fund in connection with their investments.
11
<PAGE> 33
EXPENSES
Except as noted above and in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Funds--Custodian and Transfer Agent," the Fund's service
contractors bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their
services. Similarly, the Fund bears the expenses incurred in its operations. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund's total expenses with respect
to T-Fund shares and T-Fund Dollar shares were .18% and .43% net of waivers of
.12% and .12%, respectively of the average net assets of the T-Fund shares and
the T-Fund Dollar shares respectively. With regard to fees paid exclusively by
Dollar shares, see "Service Organizations" above.
BANKING LAWS
Banking laws and regulations presently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company engaged continuously in the issuance of
its shares, and prohibit banks generally from issuing, underwriting, selling or
distributing securities such as Fund shares. Such banking laws and regulations
do not prohibit such a holding company or affiliate or banks generally from
acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such an investment
company, or from purchasing shares of such a company for or upon the order of
customers. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC, as well as some Service Organizations, are
subject to such banking laws and regulations, but believe they may perform the
services for the Fund contemplated by their respective agreements, this
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information without violating applicable
banking laws or regulations.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of bank Service Organizations in connection with the
provision of support services to their customers, the Fund might be required to
alter or discontinue its arrangements with Service Organizations and change its
method of operations with respect to Dollar shares. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Fund's method of operations would affect its net
asset value per share or result in a financial loss to any customer.
DIVIDENDS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to dividends and distributions
arising only from the net investment income and capital gains, if any, earned on
its investments. The Fund's net investment income is declared daily as a
dividend to its shareholders of record at the close of business on the day of
declaration. Shares begin accruing dividends on the day the purchase order for
the shares is executed and continue to accrue dividends through the day before
the redemption order for the shares is executed. Dividends are paid monthly by
check, or by wire transfer if requested in writing by the shareholder, within
five business days after the end of the month or within five business days after
a redemption of all of a shareholder's shares of a particular class. The Fund
does not expect to realize net long-term capital gains.
Dividends are determined in the same manner for each share of the Fund.
Dollar shares bear all the expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. As a
result, at any given time, the net yield on T-Fund Dollar shares is
approximately .25% lower than the net yield on T-Fund shares.
12
<PAGE> 34
Institutional shareholders may elect to have their dividends reinvested in
additional full and fractional shares of the same class of shares with respect
to which such dividends are declared at the net asset value of such shares on
the payment date. Reinvested dividends receive the same tax treatment as
dividends paid in cash. Such election, or any revocation thereof, must be made
in writing to PFPC at P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware 19885-9628, and will
become effective after its receipt by PFPC with respect to dividends paid.
PFPC, as transfer agent, will send each Fund shareholder or its authorized
representative an annual statement designating the amount, if any, of any
dividends and distributions made during each year and their federal tax
qualification.
TAXES
The Fund qualified in its last taxable year and intends to qualify in
future years as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A regulated investment company is generally
exempt from federal income tax on amounts distributed to its shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that the Fund distribute to its
shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for such
year. In general, the Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income (including interest and short-term capital gains, if any),
subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net long-term
capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss, if any,
for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
investment company taxable income each year. Such distributions will be taxable
as ordinary income to the Fund's shareholders that are not currently exempt from
federal income taxes, whether such income is received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares. (Federal income taxes for distributions to an IRA or a
qualified retirement plan are deferred under the Code.) It is anticipated that
none of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the dividends received
deduction for corporations. The Fund does not expect to realize long-term
capital gains and therefore does not expect to distribute any "capital gain
dividends," as described in the Code.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be deemed to have
been received by the shareholders and paid by the Fund on December 31 of such
year, in the event such dividends are actually paid during January of the
following year.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. As indicated
above, IRAs receive special tax treatment. No attempt is made to present a
detailed explanation of the federal, state or local income tax treatment of the
Fund or its shareholders, and this discussion is not intended as a substitute
for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the Fund should
consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.
YIELDS
From time to time, in advertisements or reports to Shareholders, "yields"
and "effective yields" for T-Fund shares and T-Fund Dollar shares may be quoted.
Yield quotations are
13
<PAGE> 35
computed separately for T-Fund and T-Fund Dollar Shares. The "yield" quoted in
advertisements for a particular class or sub-class of Fund shares refers to the
income generated by an investment in such shares over a specified period (such
as a seven-day period) identified in the advertisement. This income is then
"annualized." That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during
that period is assumed to be generated for each such period over a 52-week or
one year period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective
yield" is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an
investment in a particular class or sub-class of Fund shares is assumed to be
reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield"
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The Fund's yields may be compared to those of other mutual funds with
similar objectives, to stock or other relevant indices, or to rankings prepared
by independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor
the performance of mutual funds. For example, such data are reported in national
financial publications such as IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R), The Wall
Street Journal, and The New York Times, reports prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., and publications of a local or regional nature.
The Fund's yield figures for T-Fund shares and T-Fund Dollar shares
represent the Fund's past performance, will fluctuate, and should not be
considered as representative of future results. The yield of any investment is
generally a function of portfolio quality and maturity, type of investment and
operating expenses. Any fees charged by Service Organizations or other
institutional investors directly to their customers in connection with
investments in Fund shares are not reflected in the Fund's yield calculations;
and, such fees, if charged, would reduce the actual return received by customers
on their investments. The methods used to compute the Fund's yields are
described in more detail in the Statement of Additional Information. Investors
may call 800-821-6006 (T-Fund shares code 60: T-Fund Dollar shares code: 61) to
obtain current-yield information.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND MISCELLANEOUS
The Company is a Pennsylvania business trust established on May 14, 1975.
Effective March 2, 1987, the Company's name was changed from Trust for
Short-Term Federal Securities to Trust for Federal Securities. The Company
commenced operations of the Fund in March, 1980.
The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares into one or
more additional classes of shares. Pursuant to such authority, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the issuance of fourteen classes of shares designated as
FedFund, FedFund Dollar, T-Fund, T-Fund Dollar, FedCash, FedCash Dollar, T-Cash,
T-Cash Dollar, Federal Trust, Federal Trust Dollar, Treasury Trust, Treasury
Trust Dollar, Short Government and Short Government Dollar. The Declaration of
Trust further authorizes the trustees to classify or reclassify any class of
shares into one or more sub-classes.
THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCORPORATED
HEREIN RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUND AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE FUND.
INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S FEDFUND,

TRUST FUND, TREASURY TRUST FUND, AND SHORT GOVERNMENT FUND PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN
SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE PORTFOLIOS BY CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT
800-998-7633.
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Company will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a member of the Board of Trustees upon written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company
entitled to vote.
Each T-Fund share and T-Fund Dollar share represents an equal proportionate
interest in the assets belonging to the Fund. Each share is without par value
and has no preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for payment as described
in this Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and non-assessable.
Holders of the Company's T-Fund shares and T-Fund Dollar shares will vote
in the aggregate and not by class or sub-class on all matters, except where
otherwise required by law and except that only Dollar shares will be entitled to
vote on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's
arrangements with Service Organizations. Further, shareholders of all of the
Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio except as
otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the
matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a
particular portfolio. (See the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Description Concerning Fund Shares" for examples where the 1940 Act
requires voting by portfolio.) Shareholders of the Company are entitled to one
vote for each full share held (irrespective of class, sub-class, or portfolio)
and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not
cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
shares of the Company may elect all of the trustees.
For information concerning the redemption of Fund shares and possible
restrictions on their transferability, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares."
As stated above, the Company is organized as a trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for the
obligations of the trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not
because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.

This Statement of Additional Information is meant to be read
in conjunction with the Prospectuses for FedFund and T-Fund dated February 28,
1995 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into those Prospectuses.
Because this Statement of Additional Information is not itself a prospectus, no
investment in shares of FedFund or T-Fund should be made solely upon the
information contained herein. Copies of the Prospectuses for FedFund and
T-Fund may be obtained by calling 800-821-7432. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein have the same meanings as in the Prospectuses.
<PAGE> 39
THE COMPANY
Trust for Federal Securities (Trust for Short-Term Federal
Securities prior to March 2, 1987) is a no-load, diversified, open-end
investment company designed primarily as a vehicle by which institutional
investors can invest cash reserves in a choice of portfolios consisting of
government securities. Trust for Federal Securities (the "Company") consists
of seven separate investment portfolios--FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash,
Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund. This
Statement of Additional Information relates primarily to the Company's FedFund
and T-Fund portfolios (the "Funds").
The securities held by FedFund consist of obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and
repurchase agreements relating to such obligations. Securities held by T-Fund
are limited to U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other direct obligations of the
U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements relating to direct Treasury
obligations. Although both Funds have the same investment adviser and have
comparable investment objectives, their yields normally will differ due to
their differing cash flows and differences in the specific portfolio securities
held.
THIS STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND THE FUNDS'
PROSPECTUSES RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUNDS AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO
THE FUNDS. INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE
COMPANY'S FEDCASH, T-CASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND, TREASURY TRUST FUND OR SHORT
GOVERNMENT FUND PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE
PORTFOLIOS BY CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the investment objective
of each Fund is to seek current income with liquidity and security of
principal. The following policies supplement the description in the
Prospectuses of the investment objectives and policies of the Funds.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Subject to the general control of the Company's Board of
Trustees, PIMC, the Funds' investment adviser, is responsible for, makes
decisions with respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of
portfolio securities for the Funds.
-2-
<PAGE> 40
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are usually principal transactions
without brokerage commissions. In making portfolio investments, PIMC seeks to
obtain the best net price and the most favorable execution of orders. To the
extent that the execution and price offered by more than one dealer are
comparable, PIMC may, in its discretion, effect transactions in portfolio
securities with dealers who provide the Company with research advice or other
services. Although the Funds will not seek profits through short-term trading,
PIMC may, on behalf of the Funds, dispose of any portfolio security prior to
its maturity if it believes such disposition is advisable.
Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from
those for other investment company portfolios or accounts advised or managed by
PIMC. Such other portfolios may invest in the same securities as the Funds.
When purchases or sales of the same security are made at substantially the same
time on behalf of such other portfolios, transactions are averaged as to price,
and available investments allocated as to amount, in a manner which PIMC
believes to be equitable to each portfolio, including either Fund. In some
instances, this investment procedure may adversely affect the price paid or
received by a Fund or the size of the position obtained for a Fund. To the
extent permitted by law, PIMC may aggregate the securities to be sold or
purchased for a Fund with those to be sold or purchased for such other
investment company portfolios in order to obtain best execution.
Portfolio securities will not be purchased from or sold to and
the Funds will not enter into repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase
agreements with PIMC, PNC, PFPC, Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") or any
affiliated person (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of any of them,
except to the extent permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"). Furthermore, with respect to such transactions, securities, deposits
and repurchase agreements, the Funds will not give preference to Service
Organizations with whom the Funds enter into agreements concerning the
provision of support services to customers who beneficially own FedFund Dollar
shares or T-Fund Dollar shares ("Dollar shares"). (See the Prospectuses,
"Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
The Funds do not intend to seek profits through short-term
trading. The Funds' annual portfolio turnover rates will be relatively high
but the Funds' portfolio turnover is not expected to have a material effect on
its net incomes. The portfolio turnover rate for each of the Funds is expected
to be zero for regulatory reporting purposes.
<PAGE> 41
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The repurchase price under the repurchase agreements described
in the Funds' Prospectuses generally equals the price paid by a Fund plus
interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates (which may be more
or less than the rate on the securities underlying the repurchase agreement).
Securities subject to repurchase agreements will be held by the Funds'
custodian, sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.
Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by the Funds under the 1940
Act.
Whenever the Funds enter into reverse repurchase agreements as
described in their Prospectuses, they will place in a segregated custodial
account liquid assets having a value equal to the repurchase price (including
accrued interest) and will subsequently monitor the account to ensure such
equivalent value is maintained. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered
to be borrowings by the Funds under the 1940 Act.
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the Funds may purchase
securities on a "when-issued" basis (i.e., for delivery beyond the normal
settlement date at a stated price and yield). When a Fund agrees to purchase
when-issued securities, its custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio
securities equal to the amount of the commitment in a separate account.
Normally, the custodian will set aside portfolio securities to satisfy a
purchase commitment, and in such a case such Fund may be required subsequently
to place additional assets in the separate account in order to ensure that the
value of the account remains equal to the amount of such Fund's commitment. It
may be expected that a Fund's net assets will fluctuate to a greater degree
when it sets aside portfolio securities to cover such purchase commitments than
when it sets aside cash. Because the Funds will set aside cash or liquid
assets to satisfy their respective purchase commitments in the manner
described, such a Fund's liquidity and ability to manage its portfolio might be
affected in the event its commitments to purchase when-issued securities ever
exceeded 25% of the value of its assets. Neither Fund intends to purchase
when-issued securities for speculative purposes but only in furtherance of its
investment objectives. The Funds reserve the right to sell the securities
before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
When a Fund engages in when-issued transactions, it relies on
the seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may result
in a Fund's incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to obtain a price
considered to be advantageous.
<PAGE> 42
With respect to loans by the Funds of their portfolio
securities as described in their Prospectuses, the Funds would continue to
accrue interest on loaned securities and would also earn income on loans. Any
cash collateral received by the Funds in connection with such loans would be
invested in short-term U.S. government obligations.
Neither Fund will invest more than 10% of the value of its
assets in investments which are not readily marketable at the time of purchase
or subsequent valuation. Securities for purposes of this limitation do not
include securities which have been determined to be liquid by the Fund's Board
of Trustees based upon the trading markets for such securities.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Funds' Prospectuses summarize certain investment
limitations that may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders
of a "majority of the outstanding shares" of the respective Fund (as defined
below under "Miscellaneous"). Below is a complete list of the Funds'
investment limitations that may not be changed without such a vote of
shareholders.
1. FedFund may not purchase securities other than U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, some of which may be subject to
repurchase agreements. There is no limit on the amount of FedFund's assets
which may be invested in the securities of any one issuer of such obligations.
2. T-Fund may not purchase securities other than direct
obligations of the U.S. Treasury such as Treasury bills and notes, some of
which may be subject to repurchase agreements. There is no limit on the amount
of T-Fund's assets which may be invested in securities of any one issuer of
such obligations.
FedFund and T-Fund may not:
3. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and
then in an amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the particular Fund's total
assets, or mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets except in connection with
any such borrowing and in amounts not in excess of the lesser of the dollar
amounts borrowed or 10% of the value of the particular Fund's total assets at
the time of such borrowing. (This borrowing provision is not for investment
leverage, but solely to facilitate management of each Fund by enabling the
Company to meet redemption requests where the liquidation of portfolio
securities is deemed to be inconvenient or disadvantageous.)
<PAGE> 43
Borrowing may take the form of a sale of portfolio securities accompanied by a
simultaneous agreement as to their repurchase. Interest paid on borrowed funds
will not be available for investment.
4. Act as an underwriter.
5. Make loans except that the Funds may purchase or hold debt
obligations in accordance with their respective investment objective and
policies, may enter into repurchase agreements for securities, and may lend
portfolio securities against collateral consisting of cash or securities which
are consistent with the lending Fund's permitted investments, which is equal at
all times to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. There is no
investment restriction on the amount of securities that may be loaned, except
that payments received on such loans, including amounts received during the
loan on account of interest on the securities loaned, may not (together with
all non-qualifying income) exceed 10% of the Fund's annual gross income
(without offset for realized capital gains) unless, in the opinion of counsel
to the Company, such amounts are qualifying income under federal income tax
provisions applicable to regulated investment companies.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
IN GENERAL
Information on how to purchase and redeem a Fund's shares is
included in its Prospectus. The issuance of shares is recorded on the books of
the Funds, and share certificates are not issued unless expressly requested in
writing. Certificates are not issued for fractional shares.
The regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency provide
that funds held in a fiduciary capacity by a national bank approved by the
Comptroller to exercise fiduciary powers must be invested in accordance with
the instrument establishing the fiduciary relationship and local law. The
Company believes that the purchase of FedFund shares and T-Fund shares by such
national banks acting on behalf of their fiduciary accounts is not contrary to
applicable regulations if consistent with the particular account and proper
under the law governing the administration of the account.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an
institution's receipt of compensation paid by the Funds on fiduciary funds that
are invested in Dollar shares.
<PAGE> 44
Institutions, including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and
investment advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the
SEC, the Department of Labor or state securities commissions, should consult
their legal advisors before investing fiduciary funds in Dollar shares.
Prior to effecting a redemption of shares represented by
certificates, PFPC, the Funds' transfer agent, must have received such
certificates at its principal office. All such certificates must be endorsed
by the redeeming shareholder or accompanied by a signed stock power, in each
instance with the signature guaranteed by a commercial bank, a member of a
major stock exchange or other eligible guarantor institution, unless other
arrangements satisfactory to the Funds have previously been made. The Funds
may require any additional information reasonably necessary to evidence that a
redemption has been duly authorized.
Under the 1940 Act, the Funds may suspend the right of
redemption or postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period
during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary
weekend and holiday closings, or during which trading on said Exchange is
restricted, or during which (as determined by the SEC by rule or regulation) an
emergency exists as a result of which disposal or valuation of portfolio
securities is not reasonably practicable, or for such other periods as the SEC
may permit. (The Funds may also suspend or postpone the recordation of the
transfer of their shares upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing
conditions.)
In addition, the Funds may redeem shares involuntarily in
certain other instances if the Board of Trustees determines that failure to
redeem may have material adverse consequences to a Fund's shareholders in
general. Each Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to $250,000
or 1% of the Fund's net asset value, whichever is less, for any one shareholder
within a 90-day period. Any redemption beyond this amount will also be in cash
unless the Board of Trustees determines that conditions exist which make
payment of redemption proceeds wholly in cash unwise or undesirable. In such a
case, the Fund may make payment wholly or partly in securities or other
property, valued in the same way as the Fund determines net asset value. (See
"Net Asset Value" below for an example of when such redemption or form of
payment might be appropriate.) Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash
redemption. Shareholders who receive a redemption in kind may incur
transaction costs if they sell such securities or property, and may receive
less than the redemption value of such securities or property upon sale,
particularly where such securities are sold prior to maturity.
<PAGE> 45
Any institution purchasing shares on behalf of separate
accounts will be required to hold the shares in a single nominee name (a
"Master Account"). Institutions investing in more than one of the Company's
portfolios or classes of shares must maintain a separate Master Account for
each portfolio and class of shares. Sub-accounts may be established by name or
number either when the Master Account is opened or later.
NET ASSET VALUE
As stated in each Fund's Prospectus, each Fund's net asset
value per share is calculated by adding the value of all of the Fund's
portfolio securities and other assets belonging to that Fund, subtracting the
liabilities charged to that Fund, and dividing the result by the total number
of that Fund's shares outstanding (by class). "Assets belonging to" a Fund
consist of the consideration received upon the issuance of shares together with
all income, earnings, profits and proceeds derived from the investment thereof,
including any proceeds from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such
investments, any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such
proceeds, and a portion of any general assets of the Company not belonging to a
particular portfolio. Assets belonging to a particular Fund are charged with
the direct liabilities of that Fund and with a share of the general liabilities
of the Company allocated in proportion to the relative net assets of such Fund
and the Company's other portfolios. Determinations made in good faith and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by the Board of
Trustees as to the allocations of any assets or liabilities with respect to a
Fund are conclusive.
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, in computing the net
asset value of shares of the Funds for purposes of sales and redemptions, the
Funds use the amortized cost method of valuation. Under this method, the Funds
value each of their portfolio securities at cost on the date of purchase and
thereafter assume a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or
premium until maturity of the security. As a result, the value of a portfolio
security for purposes of determining net asset value normally does not change
in response to fluctuating interest rates. While the amortized cost method
provides certainty in portfolio valuation, it may result in valuations for the
Funds' securities which are higher or lower than the market value of such
securities.
In connection with their use of amortized cost valuation, each
of the Funds limits the dollar-weighted average maturity of its portfolio to
not more than 90 days and does not purchase any instrument with a remaining
maturity of more than
<PAGE> 46
thirteen months (with certain exceptions). In determining the average weighted
portfolio maturity of each Fund, a variable rate obligation that is issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or an agency or instrumentality thereof, is
deemed to have a maturity equal to the period remaining until the obligation's
next interest rate adjustment. The Company's Board of Trustees has also
established procedures, pursuant to rules promulgated by the SEC, that are
intended to stabilize the net asset value per share of each Fund for purposes
of sales and redemptions at $1.00. Such procedures include the determination
at such intervals as the Board deems appropriate, of the extent, if any, to
which each Fund's net asset value per share calculated by using available
market quotations or a matrix believed to provide reliable values deviates from
$1.00 per share. In the event such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1% with respect to
either Fund, the Board will promptly consider what action, if any, should be
initiated. If the Board believes that the amount of any deviation from the
$1.00 amortized cost price per share of a Fund may result in material dilution
or other unfair results to investors or existing shareholders, it will take
such steps as it considers appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the extent
reasonably practicable any such dilution or unfair results. These steps may
include selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity; shortening the Fund's
average portfolio maturity; withholding or reducing dividends; redeeming shares
in kind; or utilizing a net asset value per share determined by using available
market quotations.

</TABLE>
The advisory fee is allocated between these Funds in proportion to their
relative net assets.
PIMC and the administrators have each agreed that if, in any
fiscal year, the expenses borne by a Fund exceed the applicable expense
limitations imposed by the securities regulations of any state in which shares
of the particular Fund are registered or qualified for sale to the public, they
will each reimburse such Fund for one-half of any excess to the extent required
by such regulations. Unless otherwise required by law, such reimbursement
would be accrued and paid on the same basis that the advisory and
administration fees are accrued and paid by such Fund. To the Funds'
knowledge, of the expense limitations in effect on the date of this Statement
of Additional Information, none is more restrictive than two and one-half
percent (2-1/2%) of the first $30 million of a Fund's average annual net
assets, two percent (2%) of the next $70 million of the average annual net
assets and one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the remaining average annual
net assets.
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994,
the Company paid fees (net of waivers) for advisory services aggregating
$3,233,661, $1,488,938 and $924,760 with respect to FedFund, and $1,655,342,
$1,081,025 and $819,525 with respect to T-Fund, respectively. For the same
fiscal years, PIMC voluntarily waived advisory fees aggregating $0, $630,847
and $807,814 with respect to FedFund, and, $0 and $526,120 and $655,034 with
respect to T-Fund, respectively. Any fees waived by PIMC are not recoverable.
PIMC and PNC also serve as the adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to the
Company's FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short
Government Fund portfolios.
BANKING LAWS
Certain banking laws and regulations with respect to
investment companies are discussed in the Funds' Prospectuses. PIMC, PNC and
PFPC believe that they may perform the services for the Funds contemplated by
their respective agreements,
<PAGE> 52
Prospectuses and this Statement of Additional Information without violation of
applicable banking laws or regulations. It should be noted, however, that
future changes in legal requirements relating to the permissible activities of
banks and their affiliates, as well as further interpretations of present
requirements, could prevent PIMC and PFPC from continuing to perform such
services for the Funds and PNC from continuing to perform such services for
PIMC and the Funds. If PIMC, PFPC, or PNC were prohibited from continuing to
perform such services, it is expected that the Company's Board of Trustees
would recommend that the Funds enter into new agreements with other qualified
firms. Any new advisory agreement would be subject to shareholder approval.
In addition, state securities laws on this issue may differ
from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein and banks and
financial institutions may be required to register as dealers pursuant to State
law.
ADMINISTRATOR
As the Funds' administrators, PFPC and PDI have agreed to
provide the following services: (i) assist generally in supervising the Funds'
operations, including providing a Wilmington, Delaware order-taking facility
with toll-free IN-WATS telephone lines, providing for the preparing,
supervising and mailing of purchase and redemption order confirmations to
shareholders of record, providing and supervising the operation of an automated
data processing system to process purchase and redemption orders, maintaining a
back-up procedure to reconstruct lost purchase and redemption data, providing
information concerning the Funds to their shareholders of record, handling
shareholder problems, supervising the services of employees, provided by PDI,
whose principal responsibility and function is to preserve and strengthen
shareholder relations, and monitoring the arrangements pertaining to the Funds'
agreements with Service Organizations; (ii) assure that persons are available
to receive and transmit purchase and redemption orders; (iii) participate in
the periodic updating of the Funds' Prospectuses and Registration Statements;
(iv) assist in maintaining the Funds' Wilmington, Delaware office; (v) perform
administrative services in connection with the Fund's computer access program
maintained to facilitate shareholder access to the Funds; (vi) accumulate
information for and coordinate the preparation of reports to the Funds'
shareholders and the SEC; (vii) maintain the registration or qualification of
the Funds' shares for sale under state securities laws; (viii) prepare or
review, and provide advice with respect to, all sales literature
(advertisements, brochures and shareholder communications) for each of the
Funds and any class or sub-class thereof; and (ix) assist in the monitoring of
regulatory and legislative developments which may affect the
<PAGE> 53
Company, participate in counseling and assisting the Company in relation to
routine regulatory examinations and investigations, and work with the Company's
counsel in connection with regulatory matters and litigation.
For their administrative services, the administrators are
entitled jointly to receive fees from the six Funds referred to above
determined and allocated in the same manner as PIMC's advisory fee set forth
above. As stated in their Prospectuses, each administrator is also reimbursed
for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
Fund's computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1992,
the Company paid fees (net of waivers) for administrative services to its
former administrator, The Boston Company Advisors, Inc. ("Boston Advisors"),
aggregating $3,233,661 with respect to FedFund, and $1,655,342 with respect to
T-Fund, respectively. Boston Advisors did not waive administration fees for
either Fund during the fiscal year 1992. For the period from October 1, 1992
through January 17, 1993 the Company paid fees (net of waivers) to its former
administrator, The Boston Company Advisors totalling $99,699 with respect to
FedFund and $65,982 with respect to T-Fund. Administration fees payable by
FedFund and T-Fund of $2,554 and $494, respectively, were voluntarily waived by
Boston Advisors during this period. For the period from January 18, 1993
through October 31, 1993, the Company paid fees (net of waivers) for
administrative services to PFPC and PDI (formerly called MFD Group, Inc.), its
administrators, aggregating $1,488,938 with respect to FedFund and $1,081,025
with respect to T-Fund. For the same period, administration fees of $630,847
with respect to FedFund and $526,120 with respect to T-Fund were voluntarily
waived. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Company paid fees (net
of waivers) for administration fees aggregating $924,760 with respect to
FedFund and $807,814 with respect to T-Fund, respectively. For the same fiscal
year, PFPC and PDI voluntarily waived administration fees aggregating $819,525
with respect to FedFund and $655,034 with respect to T-Fund, respectively.
PFPC, a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of PNC provides
administrative or and/or sub-administrative services to investment companies
which are distributed by PDI. PFPC and PDI also serve as co-administrators of
the Company's FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and
Short Government Fund portfolios.
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI acts as the distributor of the Funds' shares. Each Fund's
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent, although it
is not obliged to sell any particular
<PAGE> 54
amount of shares. PDI will prepare or review, provide advice with respect to,
and file with the federal and state agencies or other organization as required
by federal, state, or other applicable laws and regulations, all sales
literature (advertisements, brochures and shareholder communications) for each
of the Funds and any class or sub-class thereof. The distributor pays the cost
of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons who are not shareholders
of the Funds (excluding preparation and printing expenses necessary for the
continued registration of Fund shares) and of preparing, printing and
distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by the Funds to
the distributor for its distribution services. PDI also serves as the
distributor for the Company's FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury
Trust Fund and Short Government Fund portfolios. PDI is a Delaware
corporation, with its principal place of business located at 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT
Pursuant to a Custodian Agreement, PNC serves as the Funds'
custodian. Under the Agreement, PNC has agreed to provide the following
services: (i) maintain a separate account or accounts in the name of the
Funds; (ii) hold and disburse portfolio securities on account of the Funds;
(iii) collect and make disbursements of money on behalf of the Funds; (iv)
collect and receive all income and other payments and distributions on account
of the Funds' portfolio securities; and (v) make periodic reports to the Board
of Trustees concerning the Funds' operations. The Custodian Agreement permits
PNC, on 30 days' notice, to assign its rights and delegate its duties
thereunder to any other affiliate of PNC or PNC Bank Corp., provided that PNC
remains responsible for the performance of the delegate under the Custodian
Agreement.
The Funds reimburse PNC for its direct and indirect costs and
expenses incurred in rendering custodial services. Under the Custodian
Agreement, each Fund pays PNC an annual fee equal to $.25 for each $1,000 of
such Fund's average daily gross assets, which fee declines as such Fund's
average daily gross assets increase. In addition, each Fund pays the custodian
a fee for each purchase, sale or delivery of a security, interest collection or
claim item, and reimburses PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf
of the Fund. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994,
FedFund paid fees for custodian services aggregating, $349,147, $254,450 and
$220,443, respectively. For the same fiscal years, T-Fund paid fees for
custodian services aggregating, $226,417, $216,000, and $202,087, respectively.
PNC also serves as custodian for the Company's FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust
Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and
<PAGE> 55
Short Government Fund portfolios. PNC's principal business address is Broad
and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102.
PFPC also serves as the Funds' transfer agent, registrar and
dividend disbursing agent pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. Under the
Agreement, PFPC has agreed to provide the following services: (i) maintain a
separate account or accounts in the name of the Funds; (ii) issue, transfer and
redeem shares of the Funds; (iii) disburse dividends and distributions, in the
manner described in each Fund's Prospectus, to shareholders of the Fund; (iv)
transmit all communications by the Funds to their shareholders or their
authorized representatives, including reports to shareholders, distribution and
dividend notices and proxy materials for meetings of shareholders; (v) prepare
and file with the appropriate taxing authorities reports or notices relating to
dividends and distributions made by the Funds; (vi) respond to correspondence
by shareholders, security brokers and others relating to its duties; (vii)
maintain shareholder accounts; and (viii) make periodic reports to the
Company's Board of Trustees concerning the Funds' operations. The Transfer
Agency Agreement permits PFPC, on 30-days' notice, to assign its rights and
duties thereunder to any other affiliate of PNC or PNC Bank Corp., provided
that PFPC remains responsible for the performance of the delegate under the
Transfer Agency Agreement.
Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, each Fund pays PFPC fees
at an annual rate of $12.00 per account and sub-account maintained by PFPC
plus $1.00 for each purchase or redemption transaction by an account (other
than a purchase transaction made in connection with the automatic reinvestment
of dividends). Payments to PFPC for sub-accounting services provided by others
are limited to the amount which PFPC pays to others for such services. In
addition, the Funds reimburse PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses related to such
services. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, FedFund
paid fees for transfer agency services aggregating, $159,340, $147,259 and
$189,439, respectively. For the same fiscal years, T-Fund paid fees for
transfer agency services aggregating, $123,706, $98,116 and $81,291,
respectively. PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend
disbursing agent for the Company's FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund,
Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the Funds will enter
into an agreement with each Service Organization which purchases Dollar shares
requiring it to provide support services to its customers who beneficially own
Dollar shares in
<PAGE> 56
consideration of the Funds' payment of .25% (on an annualized basis) of the
average daily net asset value of the Dollar shares held by the Service
Organization for the benefit of customers. Such services include: (i)
aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests from customers and
placing net purchase and redemption orders with the transfer agent; (ii)
providing customers with a service that invests the assets of their accounts in
Dollar shares; (iii) processing dividend payments from the Funds on behalf of
customers; (iv) providing information periodically to customers showing their
positions in Dollar shares; (v) arranging for bank wires; (vi) responding to
customer inquiries relating to the services performed by the Service
Organization; (vii) providing sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares
beneficially owned by customers or the information necessary for sub-
accounting; (viii) forwarding shareholder communications from the Funds (such
as proxies, shareholder reports, annual and semi-annual financial statements
and dividend, distribution and tax notices) to customers, if required by law;
and (ix) other similar services if requested by the Funds. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1994, the Company paid $145,430 in servicing fees to an
affiliate of the Company's adviser (representing 12.0% of the aggregate
servicing fees) of which $101,779 and $43,651 was allocated to FedFund and
T-Fund, respectively, pursuant to service agreements in effect during such
period.
Each Fund's agreements with Service Organizations are governed
by a Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan") that has been adopted by the
Company's Board of Trustees pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC
in connection with the creation of the Dollar shares. Pursuant to each Plan,
the Board of Trustees reviews, at least quarterly, a written report of the
amounts expended under the Fund's agreements with Service Organizations and the
purposes for which the expenditures were made. In addition, the Funds'
arrangements with Service Organizations must be approved annually by a majority
of the Company's trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Company as defined in the 1940 Act and have no
direct or indirect financial interest in such arrangements (the "Disinterested
Trustees").
The Board of Trustees has approved the Funds' arrangements
with Service Organizations based on information provided by the Funds' service
contractors that there is a reasonable likelihood that the arrangements will
benefit the Funds and their shareholders by affording the Funds greater
flexibility in connection with the servicing of the accounts of the beneficial
owners of their shares in an efficient manner. Any material amendment to the
Funds' arrangements with Service Organizations must be approved by a majority
of the Company's Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Disinterested
<PAGE> 57
Trustees). So long as the Funds' arrangements with Service Organizations are
in effect, the selection and nomination of the members of the Company's Board
of Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of
the Company will be committed to the discretion of such non-interested
trustees.
EXPENSES
The Funds' expenses include taxes, interest, fees and salaries
of the Company's trustees and officers, SEC fees, state securities
qualification fees, Standard & Poor's rating fees (cost incurred by T-Fund
only), Moody's rating fees (cost incurred by T-Fund only), costs of preparing
and printing prospectuses for regulatory purposes and for distribution to
shareholders, advisory and administration fees, charges of the custodian,
transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent, Service Organization fees,
certain insurance premiums, outside auditing and legal expenses, costs of the
Funds' computer access program, costs of shareholder reports and shareholder
meetings and any extraordinary expenses. The Funds also pay for brokerage fees
and commissions (if any) in connection with the purchase of portfolio
securities.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES
The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting each Fund and its shareholders that are not described in
each Fund's Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation
of the tax treatment of the Funds or their shareholders or possible legislative
changes, and the discussion here and in each Fund's Prospectus is not intended
as a substitute for careful tax planning. Investors should consult their tax
advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.
Each Fund of the Company is treated as a separate corporate
entity under the Code and intends to qualify each year as a regulated
investment company under the Code. In order to so qualify for a taxable year,
each Fund must satisfy the distribution requirement described in its
Prospectus, derive at least 90% of its gross income for the year from certain
qualifying sources, comply with certain diversification requirements and derive
less than 30% of its gross income from the sale or other disposition of
securities and certain other investments held for less than three months.
Interest (including original issue discount and accrued market discount)
received by a Fund upon maturity or disposition of a security held for less
than three months will not be treated as gross income derived from the sale or
other disposition of such security within the
<PAGE> 58
meaning of this requirement. However, any other income that is attributable to
realized market appreciation will be treated as gross income from the sale or
other disposition of securities for this purpose.
A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated
investment companies that fail to distribute currently an amount equal to
specified percentages of their ordinary taxable income and capital gain net
income (excess of capital gains over capital losses). Each Fund intends to
make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions of its ordinary taxable
income and any capital gain net income each calendar year to avoid liability
for this excise tax.
If for any taxable year a Fund does not qualify for tax
treatment as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income will be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, without any deduction
for distributions to Fund shareholders. In such event, dividend distributions
would be taxable as ordinary income to Fund shareholders to the extent of that
Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits and would be eligible for
the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders.
Each Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and
remit to the U.S. Treasury 31% of taxable dividends or gross sale proceeds paid
to any shareholder who has failed to provide a correct tax identification
number in the manner required, who is subject to withholding by the Internal
Revenue Service for failure to properly include on his return payments of
taxable interest or dividends, or who has failed to certify to the Fund when
required to do so that he is not subject to backup withholding or that he is an
"exempt recipient."
Depending upon the extent of the Funds' activities in states
and localities in which their offices are maintained, in which their agents or
independent contractors are located or in which they are otherwise deemed to be
conducting business, the Funds may be subject to the tax laws of such states or
localities. In addition, in those states and localities which have income tax
laws, the treatment of the Funds and their shareholders under such laws may
differ from their treatment under federal income tax laws. Shareholders are
advised to consult their tax advisors concerning the application of state and
local taxes.
The foregoing discussion is based on federal tax laws and
regulations which are in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional
Information; such laws and regulations may be changed by legislative or
administrative action.
<PAGE> 59
DIVIDENDS
Net income of each of the Funds for dividend purposes consists
of (i) interest accrued and original issue discount earned on the Fund's
assets, (ii) plus the amortization of market discount and minus the
amortization of market premium on such assets, (iii) less accrued expenses
directly attributable to the Fund and the general expenses (e.g., legal,
accounting and trustees' fees) of the Company prorated to the Fund on the basis
of its relative net assets. In addition, Dollar shares bear exclusively the
expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. (See "Management of the
Funds--Service Organizations.")
As stated, the Company uses its best efforts to maintain the
net asset value per share of FedFund and T-Fund at $1.00. As a result of a
significant expense or realized or unrealized loss incurred by either Fund, it
is possible that the Fund's net asset value per share may fall below $1.00.
ADDITIONAL YIELD INFORMATION
The "yields" and "effective yields" are calculated separately
for each class of shares of each Fund and in accordance with the formulas
prescribed by the SEC. The seven-day yield for each class of shares is
calculated by determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical
pre-existing account in the particular Fund which has a balance of one share of
the class involved at the beginning of the period, dividing the net change by
the value of the account at the beginning of the period to obtain the base
period return, and multiplying the base period return by 365/7. The net change
in the value of an account in a Fund includes the value of additional shares
purchased with dividends from the original share and dividends declared on the
original share and any such additional shares, net of all fees charged to all
shareholder accounts in proportion to the length of the base period and the
Fund's average account size, but does not include gains and losses or
unrealized appreciation and depreciation. In addition, an effective annualized
yield quotation may be computed on a compounded basis with respect to each
class of its shares by adding 1 to the base period return for the class
involved (calculated as described above), raising that sum to a power equal to
365/7, and subtracting 1 from the result. Similarly, based on the calculations
described above, the Funds' 30-day (or one-month) yields and effective yields
may also be calculated.
For the seven-day period ended October 31, 1994, the yields on
FedFund shares and T-Fund shares were 4.86% and 4.70%, respectively, and the
compounded effective yields on FedFund shares and T-Fund shares were 4.98% and
4.81%, respectively; the
<PAGE> 60
yields on FedFund Dollar shares and T-Fund Dollar shares were 4.61% and 4.45%,
respectively, and the compounded effective yields on FedFund Dollar shares and
T-Fund Dollar shares were 4.72% and 4.55%, respectively. During this seven-day
period, the Funds' adviser and administrator voluntarily waived a portion of
its advisory and administration fees payable by the Funds. Without these
waivers, for the same period the yields on FedFund shares and T-Fund shares
would have been 4.74% and 4.59%, respectively, and the compounded effective
yields on FedFund shares and T-Fund shares would have been 4.85% and 4.69%,
respectively, the yield on FedFund Dollar Shares and T-Fund Dollar Shares would
have been 4.49% and 4.34%, respectively, and the compounded effective yields on
FedFund Dollar Shares and T-Fund Dollar Shares would have been 4.59% and 4.43%,
respectively.
For the 30-day period ended October 31, 1994, the yields on
FedFund shares and T-Fund shares were 4.81% and 4.68%, respectively, and the
compounded effective yields on FedFund shares and T-Fund shares were 4.93% and
4.79%, respectively; the yields on FedFund Dollar shares and T-Fund Dollar
shares were 4.56% and 4.43%, respectively, and the compounded effective yields
on FedFund Dollar shares and T-Fund Dollar shares were 4.66% and 4.53%,
respectively. During this 30-day period, the Funds' adviser and administrator
voluntarily waived a portion of the advisory and administration fees payable by
the Funds. Without these waivers, for the same period the yields on FedFund
shares and T-Fund shares would have been 4.69% and 4.57%, respectively, and the
compounded effective yields on FedFund shares and T-Fund shares would have been
4.80% and 4.67%, respectively, the yield on FedFund Dollar Shares and T-Fund
Dollar Shares would have been 4.44% and 4.32%, respectively, and the compounded
effective yields on FedFund Dollar Shares and T-Fund Dollar Shares would have
been 4.54% and 4.41%, respectively.
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to
shareholders, the performance of the Funds may be quoted and compared to that
of other money market funds or accounts with similar investment objectives and
to stock or other relevant indices. For example, the yields of the Funds may
be compared to the Donoghue's Money Fund Average, which is an average compiled
by IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND REPORT(R) of Holliston, MA 01746, a widely
recognized independent publication that monitors the performance of money
market funds, or to the average yields reported by the Bank Rate Monitor from
money market deposit accounts offered by the 50 leading banks and thrift
institutions in the top five standard metropolitan statistical areas.
THE FUNDS' YIELDS WILL FLUCTUATE, AND ANY QUOTATION OF YIELD
SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FUTURE
<PAGE> 61
PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS. Since yields fluctuate, yield data cannot
necessarily be used to compare an investment in the Funds' shares with bank
deposits, savings accounts, and similar investment alternatives which often
provide an agreed or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time.
Shareholders should remember that performance and yield are generally functions
of kind and quality of the investments held in a portfolio, portfolio maturity,
operating expenses net of waivers and expense reimbursements, and market
conditions. Any fees charged by Service Organizations or other institutional
investors with respect to customer accounts in investing in shares of the Funds
will not be included in calculations of yield and performance; such fees, if
charged, would reduce the actual performance and yield from that quoted.
ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING FUND SHARES
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings
of shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
Upon the written request of shareholders owning at least twenty percent of the
Company's shares, the Company will call for a meeting of shareholders to
consider the removal of one or more trustees and other certain matters. To the
extent required by law, the Company will assist in shareholder communication in
such matters.
As stated in the Prospectuses for the Funds, holders of the
Company's FedFund and FedFund Dollar shares will vote in the aggregate and not
by class on all matters, except where otherwise required by law and except that
only FedFund Dollar shares will be entitled to vote on matters submitted to a
vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's arrangements with Service
Organizations. (See "Management of the Funds--Service Organizations.")
Holders of the Company's T-Fund and T-Fund Dollar shares will also vote in the
aggregate and not by class except as described above. Further, shareholders of
all of the Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio
except as otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines
that the matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders
of a particular portfolio. Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides that any
matter required to be submitted by the provisions of such Act or applicable
state law, or otherwise, to the holders of the outstanding securities of an
investment company such as the Company shall not be deemed to have been
effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of each portfolio affected by the matter. Rule 18f-2
further provides that a portfolio shall be deemed to be affected by a matter
unless it is clear that the interests of each portfolio in the matter are
identical or that the matter does not affect any interest of the
<PAGE> 62
portfolio. Under the Rule the approval of an investment advisory agreement or
any change in a fundamental investment policy would be effectively acted upon
with respect to a portfolio only if approved by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of such portfolio. However, the Rule also
provides that the ratification of the selection of independent accountants, the
approval of principal underwriting contracts and the election of trustees are
not subject to the separate voting requirements and may be effectively acted
upon by shareholders of the investment company voting without regard to
portfolio.

SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY
The Company is organized as a "business trust" under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for
the obligations of the trust. The Declaration of Trust of the Company provides
that shareholders of the Funds shall not be subject to any personal liability
for the acts or obligations of the Company and that every note, bond, contract,
order or other undertaking made by the Company shall contain a provision to the
effect that the shareholders are not personally liable thereunder. The
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the trust property of
any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been
a shareholder and not because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.
The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Company shall, upon request,
assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the Company and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of
a shareholder's incurring financial loss beyond its investment on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Company itself
would be unable to meet its obligations.
The Company's Declaration of Trust provides further that no
trustee, officer or agent of the Company shall be personally liable for or on
account of any contract, debt, tort, claim, damage, judgment or decree arising
out of or connected with the administration or preservation of the trust estate
or the conduct of any business of the Company, nor shall any trustee be
personally liable to any person for any action or failure to act except by
reason of bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence in the performance
of any duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations and duties
as trustee. It also provides that all persons having any claim against the
trustees or the Company shall look solely to the trust property for payment.
With the exceptions stated, the Declaration of Trust provides that a trustee is
entitled to be indemnified
<PAGE> 65
against all liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with the defense or disposition of any proceeding in which the
trustee may be involved or with which the trustee may be threatened by reason
of being or having been a trustee, and that the trustees have the power, but
not the duty, to indemnify officers and employees of the Company unless such
person would not be entitled to indemnification had he or she been a trustee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Trust for Federal Securities:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the FedFund,
T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short
Government Fund Portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities (the "Fund") as of
October 31, 1994 and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and
Short Government Fund Portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities, as of October
31, 1994, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes
in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
A. Trust for Federal Securities (the Company) was established as a Pennsylvania
business trust under a Declaration of Trust originally dated as of May 14, 1975,
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Company consists of
seven separate portfolios, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund,
Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund. The Intermediate Government Fund
Portfolio was liquidated on October 31, 1994.
Each portfolio has two classes of shares, one class being referred to as
Dollar shares. Dollar shares and the other class of shares of each portfolio are
identical in all respects, except that Dollar shares are sold to institutions
(Service Organizations) which provide support services to their customers who
beneficially own such shares, in consideration of the Company's payment of 0.25%
(on an annualized basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Dollar
shares held by the institutions for the benefit of their customers. The Service
Organization fee is applicable only to the earnings of the respective Dollar
shares.
B. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security Valuation--FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and
Treasury Trust Fund:
Portfolio securities are valued under the amortized cost method which
approximates current market value. Under this method, securities are valued at
cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any
discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. Regular review
and monitoring of the valuation is performed in an attempt to avoid dilution or
other unfair results to shareholders. The Company seeks to maintain the net
asset value per share of each portfolio at $1.00.
Security Valuation--Short Government Fund:
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available (other
than debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at
the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices provided by
investment dealers. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued at their fair value in the best judgment of PNC
Institutional Management Corporation under procedures established by and under
the supervision of the Company's Board of Trustees. Debt securities with
remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis
(unless the Board determines that such basis does not represent fair value at
the time).
Repurchase Agreements--The Company may purchase, for any portfolio except
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund, money market instruments from
financial institutions, such as banks and non-bank dealers, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price.
Collateral for repurchase agreements may have longer maturities than the maximum
permissible remaining maturity of portfolio investments, provided the repurchase
agreements themselves mature in one year or less. The seller will be required on
a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement
at no less than the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements with maturities in
excess of seven days are subject to a seven day put feature.
Dividends to Shareholders--Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly.
Dividends payable are recorded on the dividend record date. Net income for
dividend purposes includes interest accrued and discount earned, less the
amortization of market premium and applicable expenses and, for the Money Market
Portfolios, includes net realized gains on portfolio securities. Short
Government Fund will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least
once a year.
FS-29
<PAGE> 95
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Federal Taxes--No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Company's
intention to have each portfolio continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will
be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and the
cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses not
directly attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among the portfolios
based on their relative net assets.
Costs incurred by FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
in connection with their organization, registration and the initial public
offering of shares have been deferred and are being amortized using the
straight-line method over a five-year period beginning on the date on which the
portfolios commenced their investment activities.
C. Under agreements among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (PNC Bank)
and PNC Institutional Management Corporation (PIMC), a wholly owned subsidiary
of PNC Bank, PIMC manages the Company's portfolios and maintains their financial
accounts. PNC Bank is the Company's sub-advisor and custodian and PFPC Inc.
(PFPC) is the Company's transfer agent.
As of January 31, 1994, Provident Distributors, Inc. (PDI) became the
Company's Distributor succeeding Pennsylvania Merchant Group Ltd. No
compensation is payable by the Company to PDI for its distribution services.
The Company has entered into an Administration Agreement with PFPC and PDI for
certain administrative services.
In return for their advisory and administrative services, the Company pays
PIMC and the administrators each a fee, computed daily and payable monthly,
based upon an annualized percentage of the average net assets of each portfolio
as follows:
FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
(on a combined basis)--.175% of the first $1 billion, .15% of the next $1
billion, .125% of the next $1 billion, .10% of the next $1 billion, .095% of the
next $1 billion, .09% of the next $1 billion, .085% of the next $1 billion and
.08% of net assets in excess of $7 billion.
Short Government Fund--.20% of average net assets.
If expenses borne by any portfolio in any fiscal year exceed the applicable
expense limitation imposed by state securities regulations, the administrators
and PIMC will each reimburse the portfolio for one-half of any excess expense up
to the amount of fees payable to it (except where such regulations require
reimbursement regardless of the fees payable to it).
The administrators and PIMC have also agreed to reduce their fees, on an equal
basis, to the extent necessary to ensure that the total operating expenses
(excluding Service Organization fees) of FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund,
and Treasury Trust Fund do not exceed .18% of their respective average net
assets for the 36-month period ending January 18, 1996, and with respect to
FedCash and T-Cash, .16%. For the year ended October 31, 1994, the
administrators and PIMC voluntarily agreed to reimburse, on an equal basis, for
expenses in the amount of $4,592 with respect to Short Government Fund. For the
year ended October 31, 1994, the administrators (or former administrator) and
PIMC waived, on an equal basis, a total of $1,615,628 of the administration and
advisory fees payable to them with respect to FedFund, $1,310,068 with respect
to T-Fund, $1,093,063 with respect to FedCash, $819,786 with respect to T-Cash,
$394,224 with
FS-30
<PAGE> 96
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
respect to Federal Trust Fund, $1,569,441 with respect to Treasury Trust Fund
and $25,713 with respect to Short Government Fund.
D. The Company's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to authorize the
issuance of an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial
interest (shares) in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued
shares into one or more additional classes of shares.
Transactions in shares of the Company are summarized as follows:

customers' investment in FedCash Dollar shares. (For more complete descriptions
of the various costs and expenses, see "Management of the Fund" in this
Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.) Absent fee waivers for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the
"Total Fund Operating Expenses" for FedCash shares and FedCash Dollar shares
would have been .29% and .54%, respectively, of the average net assets of the
FedCash portfolio. The investment adviser and administrators may from time to
time waive the advisory and administration fees otherwise payable to them or may
reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses. The foregoing table reflects
expenses (net of waivers) incurred by the Fund during the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1994. These waivers may continue. The foregoing table has not been
audited by the Fund's independent accountants.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The Fund invests in obligations issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities (in addition to direct
Treasury obligations) and repurchase agreements relating to such obligations.
Portfolio securities held by the Fund have remaining maturities of 397 days
(thirteen months) or less (with certain exceptions), subject to the quality,
diversification, and other requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and other rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The "agencies" or "instrumentalities" of the U.S. Government the
obligations of which may be purchased by FedCash are limited to those
obligations which national banks may invest directly without limitation. The
agencies or instrumentalities which currently qualify include the Central Bank
for Cooperatives, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Federal Financing
Bank,
4
<PAGE> 106
Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal
National Mortgage Association, General Services Administration, Government
National Mortgage Association, Maritime Administration, Small Business
Administration and Student Loan Marketing Association. The Fund's investment
procedures set forth above are designed to permit national banks to invest in
shares of the Fund without limitation under applicable law and regulations.
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if
held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market
value of such securities may vary during the period a shareholder owns shares of
the Fund. Certain government securities held by the Fund may have remaining
maturities exceeding thirteen months if such securities provide for adjustments
in their interest rates not less frequently than every thirteen months. To the
extent consistent with its investment objectives, the Fund may invest in
Treasury receipts and other "stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, where the principal and interest components are traded
independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of
Securities program ("STRIPS"). Under the STRIPS program, the principal and
interest components are individually numbered and separately issued by the U.S.
Treasury at the request of depository financial institutions, which then trade
the component parts independently. Currently, the Fund only invests in
"stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government which are
registered under the STRIPS program.
The Fund may purchase government securities from financial institutions,
such as banks and broker-dealers, subject to the seller's agreement to
repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price ("repurchase agreements"). The
securities subject to a repurchase agreement may bear maturities exceeding
thirteen months, provided the repurchase agreement itself matures in one year or
less. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets in
repurchase agreements which do not provide for settlement within seven days. The
seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value of
the securities subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price
(including accrued interest). Default by or bankruptcy of the seller would,
however, expose the Fund to possible loss because of adverse market action or
delay in connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations.
The Fund may borrow funds for temporary purposes by entering into reverse
repurchase agreements in accordance with the investment restrictions described
below. Pursuant to such agreements, the Fund would sell portfolio securities to
financial institutions and agree to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and
price. The Fund would consider entering into reverse repurchase agreements to
avoid otherwise selling securities during unfavorable market conditions to meet
redemptions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market
value of the portfolio securities sold by the Fund may decline below the price
of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase.
The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield. The Fund will generally not pay for such
securities or start earning interest on them until they are received. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to
changes in value based upon changes in the general level of interest rates. The
Fund expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities will not exceed
25% of the value of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Fund
does not intend to purchase when-issued securities for speculative purposes but
only in furtherance of its investment objective.
5
<PAGE> 107
The Fund may also lend its portfolio securities to financial institutions
in accordance with the investment restrictions described below. Such loans would
involve risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or in recovering the
securities loaned or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower
of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to
borrowers deemed by the Fund's investment adviser to be of good standing and
only when, in the adviser's judgment, the income to be earned from the loans
justifies the attendant risks.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's investment objective and policies described above are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Company's Board of Trustees without a vote
of shareholders. If there is a change in the investment objective, shareholders
should consider whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment in light of
their then current financial position and needs. The Fund's investment
limitations summarized below may not be changed without the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares. (A complete list of the
investment limitations that cannot be changed without a vote of shareholders is
contained in the Statement of Additional Information under "Investment
Objectives and Policies.")
The Fund may not:
1. Purchase securities other than U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities, some of which may be subject to repurchase agreements.
2. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and then in
an amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets, or
mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets except in connection with any
such borrowing and in amounts not in excess of the lesser of the dollar
amounts borrowed or 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time
of such borrowing.
3. Make loans except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt
obligations in accordance with its investment objective and policies, may
enter into repurchase agreements for securities and may lend portfolio
securities against collateral consisting of cash or securities which are
consistent with the Fund's permitted investments, which is equal at all
times to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. There is no
investment restriction on the amount of securities that may be loaned,
except that payments received on such loans, including amounts received
during the loan on account of interest on the securities loaned, may not
(together with all non-qualifying income) exceed 10% of the Fund's annual
gross income (without offset for realized capital gains) unless, in the
opinion of counsel to the Company, such amounts are qualifying income under
federal income tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Fund shares are sold at the net asset value per share next determined after
receipt of a purchase order by PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent. Purchase orders
for shares are accepted by the Fund only on days on which both the New York
Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia are open for
business (a "Business Day") and must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington,
Delaware, by telephone (800-441-7450; in Delaware: 302-791-5350); or through
6
<PAGE> 108
the Fund's computer access program. Orders received before 12:00 noon, Eastern
time, for which payment has been received by PNC Bank, the Fund's custodian,
will be executed at 12:00 noon. Orders received after 12:00 noon and before 2:30
P.M., Eastern time, (or orders received earlier in the same day for which
payment has not been received by 12:00 noon) will be executed at 4:00 P.M.,
Eastern time, if payment has been received by PNC Bank by that time. Orders
received at other times, and orders for which payment has not been received by
4:00 P.M., Eastern time, will not be accepted, and notice thereof will be given
to the institution placing the order. (Payment for orders which are not received
or accepted will be returned after prompt inquiry to the sending institution.)
The Fund may in its discretion reject any order for shares.
Payment for Fund shares may be made only in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to PNC Bank. The minimum initial investment is $5,000.
Broker-dealers and other institutional investors may set a higher minimum for
their customers. There is no minimum subsequent investment.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an institution's receipt of
compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that are invested in Dollar
shares. (See also "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
Institutions, including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and
investment advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the
SEC, the Department of Labor or state securities commissions, should consult
their legal advisors before investing fiduciary funds in Dollar shares. (See
also "Management of the Fund--Banking Laws.")
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Redemption orders must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware, in
the manner described under "Purchase Procedures." Shares are redeemed at the net
asset value per share next determined after PFPC's receipt of the redemption
order. While the Fund intends to use its best efforts to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00, the proceeds paid to a shareholder upon redemption may
be more or less than the amount invested depending upon a share's net asset
value at the time of redemption.
Payment for redeemed shares for which a redemption order is received by
PFPC before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day is normally made in
federal funds wired to the redeeming shareholder on the same day. A shareholder
of record located in the Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone may receive
redemption proceeds wired the same day in federal funds to a destination within
such time zone if its redemption order is received before 2:30 P.M., Eastern
time, or 1:30 P.M., Eastern time, respectively. Payment for other redemption
orders which are received between 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, or on
a day when PNC Bank is closed, is normally wired in federal funds on the next
day following redemption that PNC Bank is open for business.
The Fund shall have the right to redeem shares in any account if the value
of the account is less than $1,000 after sixty-days' prior written notice to the
shareholder. Any such redemption shall be effected at the net asset value per
share next determined after the redemption order is entered. If during the sixty
day period the shareholder increases the value of its account to $1,000 or more,
no such redemption shall take place. In addition, the Fund may redeem shares
involuntarily or suspend the right of redemption under certain special
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information."
7
<PAGE> 109
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined by PIMC as of 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, on each day on which both the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the
New York Stock Exchange are open for business. Currently, one or both of these
institutions are closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (observed). The net asset value per share of each class of the
Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets
belonging to the Fund, subtracting liabilities attributable to each class, and
dividing the result by the total number of the outstanding shares of each class.
In computing net asset value, the Fund uses the amortized cost method of
valuation as described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information." The Fund's net asset value per
share for purposes of pricing purchase and redemption orders is determined
independently of the net asset values of the shares of the Company's other
investment portfolios.
Fund shares are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Institutional
investors purchasing or holding Fund shares for their customer accounts may
charge customers fees for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts. A customer should, therefore, consider the terms
of its account with an institution before purchasing Fund shares. An institution
purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf of its customers is responsible for
transmitting orders to the Fund in accordance with its customer agreements.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER
PIMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Asset Management Group, Inc., which
is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, serves as the Fund's
investment adviser. PIMC was organized in 1977 by PNC Bank to perform advisory
services for investment companies, and has its principal offices at 400 Bellevue
Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809. PNC Asset Management Group, Inc.'s
principal business address is 1835 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102. PNC Bank serves as the Fund's sub-adviser. PNC Bank is a wholly owned,
indirect subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. and its principal business address is
Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102. PNC Bank Corp. is
a multi-bank holding company. PIMC and PNC Bank also serve as adviser and
sub-adviser, respectively, to the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, T-Cash, Federal
Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund, and Short Government Fund portfolios.
PNC Bank Corp., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the eleventh
largest bank holding company in the United States. Categorized as a super
regional bank holding company, PNC Bank Corp. operates over 500 branch offices
in six U.S. states.
PNC Bank's Investment Management and Trust Division, headquartered in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, traces its money management services to individuals
and institutions to the year 1847, and is the second largest bank manager of
investments for individuals in the U.S. with $28 billion in discretionary trust
assets under management.
PNC Financial Services Group is PNC Bank Corp.'s mutual fund complex,
headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. This group includes PIMC, PFPC and PNC
Bank. In 1973, Provident National Bank (predecessor to PNC Bank) commenced
advising the first institutional money market mutual fund -- a U.S.
dollar-denominated constant net asset value fund -- offered in the United
States.
The PNC Financial Services Group is one of the largest U.S. bank managers
of mutual funds with assets currently under management in excess of $30 billion.
This group, through PFPC and PFPC International Ltd., is also a leading mutual
fund service provider having contractual relationships with approximately 400
mutual funds with 3.5 million shareholders and in excess of $106 billion in
assets. This group, through its PNC Institutional Investment Service, provides
investment research to some 250 financial institutions located in the United
States and abroad. PNC Bank provides custodial services for approximately $217
billion in assets, including $106 billion in mutual fund assets.
As adviser, PIMC manages the Fund's portfolio and is responsible for all
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. PIMC also maintains the
Fund's financial accounts and records and computes the Fund's net asset value
and net income. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on
the combined average net assets of the Fund, FedFund, T-Fund, T-Cash, Federal
Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund. The advisory fee is allocated among these
Funds in proportion to their relative net assets. PIMC and the administrators
may from time to time reduce the advisory and administration fees otherwise
payable to them or may reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses. Any fees
waived or expenses reimbursed by PIMC and the administrators with respect
9
<PAGE> 111
to a particular fiscal year are not recoverable. For the period ended October
31, 1994, the Fund paid advisory fees aggregating .04% of the Fund's average net
assets. Absent fee waivers, advisory fees would have been .13% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.
As sub-adviser, PNC Bank provides research, credit analysis and
recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments, and supplies PIMC with
certain computer facilities, personnel and other services. For its sub-advisory
and other services, PNC Bank is entitled to receive from PIMC an amount equal to
75% of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to PIMC (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances). The sub-advisory fees paid by PIMC to PNC Bank have no
effect on the advisory fees payable by the Fund to PIMC. PNC Bank also serves as
the Fund's custodian. The services provided by PNC Bank and PIMC and the fees
payable by the Fund for these services are described in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Management of the Funds."
ADMINISTRATORS
PFPC, whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,
Delaware 19809, and PDI whose principal business address is 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, serve as co-administrators. PFPC is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. A majority of the
outstanding stock of PDI is owned by its officers. The administrative services
provided by the administrators, which are described more fully in the Statement
of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds," include providing and
supervising the operation of an automated data processing system to process
purchase and redemption orders; assisting in maintaining the Fund's Wilmington,
Delaware office; performing administration services in connection with the
Fund's computer access program maintained to facilitate shareholder access to
the Fund; accumulating information for and coordinating the preparation of
reports to the Fund's shareholders and the SEC; and maintaining the registration
or qualification of the Fund's shares for sale under state securities laws.
For their administrative services, the administrators are entitled jointly
to receive a fee computed daily and payable monthly, determined in the same
manner as PIMC's advisory fee described above. (For information regarding the
administrators' obligations to waive administrative fees otherwise payable to
them and to reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, see "Investment Adviser
and Sub-Adviser" above.) The Fund also reimburses each administrator for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Funds'
computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid PFPC and PDI administration fees aggregating .04% of its average net
assets. Absent fee waivers, administration fees would have been .13% of the
Fund's average net assets.
PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing
agent. The transfer agent's address is P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware
19885-9628. The services provided by PFPC and PDI and the fees payable by the
Fund for these services are described in the Statement of Additional Information
under "Management of the Funds."
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Its principal offices are
located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Fund
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent. The
distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons
who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding preparation and printing
expenses
10
<PAGE> 112
necessary for the continued registration of the Fund's shares) and of printing
and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by the Fund to
the distributor for its distribution services.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
Institutional investors, such as banks, savings and loan associations and
other financial institutions, including affiliates of PNC Bank Corp. ("Service
Organizations"), may purchase Dollar shares. FedCash Dollar shares are identical
in all respects to the Company's FedCash shares except that they bear the
service fees described below and enjoy certain exclusive voting rights on
matters relating to these fees. The Fund will enter into an agreement with each
Service Organization which purchases Dollar shares requiring it to provide
support services to its customers who are the beneficial owners of Dollar shares
in consideration of the Fund's payment of .25% (on an annualized basis) of the
average daily net assets of the Dollar shares held by the Service Organization
for the benefit of customers. Such services, which are described more fully in
the Statement of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds--Service
Organizations," include aggregating and processing purchase and redemption
requests from customers and placing net purchase and redemption orders with
PFPC; processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of customers;
providing information periodically to customers showing their positions in
Dollar shares; and providing sub-accounting or the information necessary for
sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares beneficially owned by customers.
Under the terms of the agreements, Service Organizations are required to provide
to their customers a schedule of any fees that they may charge to the customers
relating to the investment of the customers' assets in Dollar shares. FedCash
shares are sold to institutions that have not entered into servicing agreements
with the Fund in connection with their investments.
EXPENSES
Except as noted above and in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Funds--Custodian and Transfer Agent," the Fund's service
contractors bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their
services. Similarly, the Fund bears the expenses incurred in its operations. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund's total expenses with respect
to FedCash shares and FedCash Dollar shares were .12% and .37% (net of fee
waivers of .17% and .17%, respectively) of the average net assets of FedCash
shares and FedCash Dollar shares, respectively. With regard to fees paid
exclusively by Dollar shares, see "Service Organizations" above.
BANKING LAWS
Banking laws and regulations presently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company engaged continuously in the issuance of
its shares, and prohibit banks generally from issuing, underwriting, selling or
distributing securities such as Fund shares. Such banking laws and regulations
do not prohibit such a holding company or affiliate or banks generally from
acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such an investment
company, or from purchasing shares of such a company for or upon the order of
customers. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC, as well as some Service Organizations, are
subject to such banking laws and regulations, but believe they may perform the
11
<PAGE> 113
services for the Fund contemplated by their respective agreements, this
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information without violating applicable
banking laws or regulations.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of bank Service Organizations in connection with the
provision of support services to their customers, the Fund might be required to
alter or discontinue its arrangements with Service Organizations and change its
method of operations with respect to Dollar shares. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Fund's method of operations would affect its net
asset value per share or result in a financial loss to any customer.
DIVIDENDS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to dividends and distributions
arising only from the net investment income and capital gains, if any, earned on
its investments. The Fund's net investment income is declared daily as a
dividend to its shareholders of record at the close of business on the day of
declaration. Shares begin accruing dividends on the day the purchase order for
the shares is executed and continue to accrue dividends through, and including,
the day before the redemption order for the shares is executed. Dividends are
paid monthly by check, or by wire transfer if requested in writing by the
shareholder, within five business days after the end of the month or within five
business days after a redemption of all of a shareholder's shares of a
particular class. The Fund does not expect to realize net long-term capital
gains.
Dividends are determined in the same manner for each share of the Fund.
Dollar shares bear all the expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. As a
result, at any given time, the net yield on FedCash Dollar shares is
approximately .25% lower than the net yield on FedCash shares.
Institutional shareholders may elect to have their dividends reinvested in
additional full and fractional shares of the same class of shares with respect
to which such dividends are declared at the net asset value of such shares on
the payment date. Reinvested dividends receive the same tax treatment as
dividends paid in cash. Such election, or any revocation thereof, must be made
in writing to PFPC at P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware 19885-9628, and will
become effective after its receipt by PFPC with respect to dividends paid.
PFPC, as transfer agent, will send each Fund shareholder or its authorized
representative an annual statement designating the amount, if any, of any
dividends and distributions made during each year and their federal tax
qualification.
TAXES
The Fund qualified in its last taxable year and intends to qualify in
future years as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A regulated investment company is generally
exempt from federal income tax on amounts distributed to its shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that the Fund distribute to its
shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for such
year. In general, the Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income (including interest and short-term capital gains, if any),
subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net long-term
capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss, if any,
for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
investment company taxable income each year. Such distributions will be
12
<PAGE> 114
taxable as ordinary income to the Fund's shareholders that are not currently
exempt from federal income taxes, whether such income is received in cash or
reinvested in additional shares. (Federal income taxes for distributions to an
IRA or a qualified retirement plan are deferred under the Code.) It is
anticipated that none of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the
dividends received deduction for corporations. The Fund does not expect to
realize long-term capital gains and therefore does not expect to distribute any
"capital gain dividends," as described in the Code.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be deemed to have
been received by the shareholders and paid by the Fund on December 31 of such
year, in the event such dividends are actually paid during January of the
following year.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. As indicated
above, IRAs receive special tax treatment. No attempt is made to present a
detailed explanation of the federal, state or local income tax treatment of the
Fund or its shareholders, and this discussion is not intended as a substitute
for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the Fund should
consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.
YIELDS
From time to time in advertisements or in reports to Shareholders, the
"yields" and "effective yields" for FedCash shares and FedCash Dollar shares may
be quoted. Yield quotations are computed for FedCash shares separately from
those for FedCash Dollar shares. The "yield" quoted in advertisements for a
particular class or sub-class of Fund shares refers to the income generated by
an investment in such shares over a specified period (such as a seven-day
period) identified in the advertisement. This income is then "annualized." That
is, the amount of income generated by the investment during that period is
assumed to be generated for each such period over a 52-week or one-year period
and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective-yield" is
calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in
a particular class or sub-class is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective
yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the compounding
effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The Fund's yields may be compared to those of other mutual funds with
similar objectives, to stock or other relevant indices, or to rankings prepared
by independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor
the performance of mutual funds. For example, such data are reported in national
financial publications such as IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R), The Wall
Street Journal, and The New York Times, reports prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., and publications of a local or regional nature.
The Fund's yield figures for FedCash shares and FedCash Dollar shares
represent the Fund's past performance, will fluctuate, and should not be
considered as representative of future results. The yield of any investment is
generally a function of portfolio quality and maturity, type of investment and
operating expenses. Any fees charged by Service Organizations or other
institutional investors directly to their customers in connection with
investments in Fund shares are not reflected in the Fund's yield calculations;
and, such fees, if charged, would reduce the actual return received by customers
on their investments. The methods used to compute the Fund's yields are
described in more detail in the Statement of Additional Information. Investors
may call 800-821-6006 (FedCash shares code: 70; FedCash Dollar shares code: 71)
to obtain current-yield information.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND MISCELLANEOUS
The Company is a Pennsylvania business trust established on May 14, 1975.
Effective March 2, 1987, the Company's name was changed from Trust for
Short-Term Federal Securities to Trust for Federal Securities. The Company
commenced operations of the Fund in May, 1991.
The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares into one or
more additional classes of shares. Pursuant to such authority, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the issuance of fourteen classes of shares designated as
FedFund, FedFund Dollar, T-Fund, T-Fund Dollar, FedCash, FedCash Dollar, T-Cash,
T-Cash Dollar, Federal Trust, Federal Trust Dollar, Treasury Trust, Treasury
Trust Dollar, Short Government, and Short Government Dollar. The Declaration of
Trust further authorizes the trustees to classify or reclassify any class of
shares into one or more sub-classes.
THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCORPORATED
HEREIN RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUND AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE FUND.
INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S FEDFUND,
T-FUND, T-CASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND, TREASURY TRUST FUND, AND SHORT GOVERNMENT
FUND PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE PORTFOLIOS BY
CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Company will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a member of the Board of Trustees upon written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company
entitled to vote.
Each FedCash share and FedCash Dollar share represents an equal
proportionate interest in the assets belonging to the Fund. Each share is
without par value and has no preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for
payment as described in this Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
Holders of the Company's FedCash shares and FedCash Dollar shares will vote
in the aggregate and not by class or sub-class on all matters, except where
otherwise required by law and except that only Dollar shares will be entitled to
vote on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's
arrangements with Service Organizations. Further, shareholders of all of the
Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio except as
otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the
matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a
particular portfolio. (See the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Description Concerning Fund Shares" for examples where the 1940 Act
requires voting by portfolio.) Shareholders of the Company are entitled to one
vote for each full share held (irrespective of class, sub-class, or portfolio)
and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not
cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
shares of the Company may elect all of the trustees.
For information concerning the redemption of Fund shares and possible
restrictions on their transferability, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares."

<PAGE> 116
As stated above, the Company is organized as a trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for the
obligations of the trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not
because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.

Trust for Federal Securities (the "Company") is a no-load, diversified,
open-end investment company that currently offers shares in seven separate
investment portfolios. The shares described in this Prospectus represent
interests in the T-Cash portfolio (the "Fund"), a money market portfolio.
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The Fund invests in a portfolio consisting of U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and repurchase
agreements relating to direct Treasury obligations.
Fund shares may not be purchased by individuals directly, but institutional
investors may purchase shares for accounts maintained by individuals. In
addition to T-Cash shares, investors may purchase T-Cash "Dollar" shares which
accrue daily dividends in the same manner as T-Cash shares but bear all fees
payable by the Fund to institutional investors for certain services they provide
to the beneficial owners of such shares. (See "Management of the Fund--Service
Organizations.")
PNC Institutional Management Corporation ("PIMC") and PNC Bank, National
Association ("PNC Bank") serve as the Fund's adviser and sub-adviser,
respectively. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") and Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") serve
as the Fund's administrators. PDI also serves as the Fund's distributor.
SHARES OF THE FUND ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF OR GUARANTEED,
ENDORSED, OR OTHERWISE SUPPORTED BY PNC BANK CORP. OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL
DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY
OTHER AGENCY. AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND INVOLVES INVESTMENT
RISKS, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL. THERE
CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO
MAINTAIN ITS NET ASSET VALUE
OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
This Prospectus briefly sets forth certain information about the Fund that
investors should know before investing. Investors are advised to read this
Prospectus and retain it for future reference. Additional information about the
Fund, contained in a Statement of Additional Information currently dated
February 28, 1995, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is available to investors without charge by calling the Fund at

BACKGROUND AND EXPENSE INFORMATION
Two classes of shares are offered by this Prospectus: T-Cash shares and

institutional investors for services they provide to the beneficial owners of
such shares. (See "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")

The purpose of the foregoing table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund will
bear directly or indirectly. In addition, institutional investors may charge
fees for providing shareholder administrative services in connection with their
customers' investment in T-Cash Dollar shares. (For more complete descriptions
of the various costs and expenses, see "Management of the Fund" in this
Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.) Absent fee waivers for the fiscal period ended October 31, 1994,
the "Total Fund Operating Expenses" for T-Cash shares and T-Cash Dollar shares
would have been .30% and .55%, respectively, of the average net assets of the
T-Cash portfolio. The investment adviser and administrators may from time to
time waive the advisory and administration fees otherwise payable to them or may
reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses. The foregoing table reflects
expenses (net of waivers) incurred by the Fund for the fiscal year ended October
31, 1994. These waivers may continue. The foregoing table has not been audited
by the Fund's independent accountants.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The Fund invests solely in direct obligations of the
U.S. Treasury, such as Treasury bills and notes and repurchase agreements
relating to direct Treasury obligations. Portfolio securities held by the Fund
have remaining maturities of 397 days (thirteen months) or less (with certain
exceptions), subject to the quality, diversification, and other requirements of
Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")
and other rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government have historically
involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to
fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary
during the period a shareholder owns shares of the Fund. Certain government
securities held by the Fund may have remaining maturities exceeding thirteen
months if such securities provide for adjustments in their interest rates not
less
4
<PAGE> 123
frequently than every thirteen months. To the extent consistent with its
investment objectives, the Fund may invest in Treasury receipts and other
"stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, where the
principal and interest components are traded independently under the Separate
Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities program ("STRIPS").
Under the STRIPS program, the principal and interest components are individually
numbered and separately issued by the U.S. Treasury at the request of depository
financial institutions, which then trade the component parts independently.
Currently, the Fund only invests in "stripped" securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government which are registered under the STRIPS program.
The Fund may purchase government securities from financial institutions,
such as banks and broker-dealers, subject to the seller's agreement to
repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price ("repurchase agreements"). The
securities subject to a repurchase agreement may bear maturities exceeding
thirteen months, provided the repurchase agreement itself matures in one year or
less. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets in
repurchase agreements which do not provide for settlement within seven days. The
seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value of
the securities subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price
(including accrued interest). Default by or bankruptcy of the seller would,
however, expose the Fund to possible loss because of adverse market action or
delay in connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations.
The Fund may borrow funds for temporary purposes by entering into reverse
repurchase agreements in accordance with the investment restrictions described
below. Pursuant to such agreements, the Fund would sell portfolio securities to
financial institutions and agree to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and
price. The Fund would consider entering into reverse repurchase agreements to
avoid otherwise selling securities during unfavorable market conditions to meet
redemptions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market
value of the portfolio securities sold by the Fund may decline below the price
of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase.
The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield. The Fund will generally not pay for such
securities or start earning interest on them until they are received. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to
changes in value based upon changes in the general level of interest rates. The
Fund expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities will not exceed
25% of the value of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Fund
does not intend to purchase when-issued securities for speculative purposes but
only in furtherance of its investment objective.
The Fund may also lend its portfolio securities to financial institutions
in accordance with the investment restrictions described below. Such loans would
involve risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or in recovering the
securities loaned or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower
of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to
borrowers deemed by the Fund's investment adviser to be of good standing and
only when, in the adviser's judgment, the income to be earned from the loans
justifies the attendant risks.

<PAGE> 124
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's investment objective and policies described above are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Company's Board of Trustees without a vote
of shareholders. If there is a change in the investment objective, shareholders
should consider whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment in light of
their then current financial position and needs. The Fund's investment
limitations summarized below may not be changed without the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares. (A complete list of the
investment limitations that cannot be changed without a vote of shareholders is
contained in the Statement of Additional Information under "Investment
Objectives and Policies.")
The Fund may not:
1. Purchase securities other than direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury such as Treasury bills and notes, some of which may be subject to
repurchase agreements.
2. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and then in
an amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets, or
mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets except in connection with any
such borrowing and in amounts not in excess of the lesser of the dollar
amounts borrowed or 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time
of such borrowing.
3. Make loans except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt
obligations in accordance with its investment objective and policies, may
enter into repurchase agreements for securities and may lend portfolio
securities against collateral consisting of cash or securities which are
consistent with the Fund's permitted investments, which is equal at all
times to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. There is no
investment restriction on the amount of securities that may be loaned,
except that payments received on such loans, including amounts received
during the loan on account of interest on the securities loaned, may not
(together with all non-qualifying income) exceed 10% of the Fund's annual
gross income (without offset for realized capital gains) unless, in the
opinion of counsel to the Company, such amounts are qualifying income under
federal income tax provisions applicable to regulated investment companies.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Fund shares are sold at the net asset value per share next determined after
receipt of a purchase order by PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent. Purchase orders
for shares are accepted by the Fund only on days on which both the New York
Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia are open for
business (a "Business Day") and must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington,
Delaware, by telephone (800-441-7450; in Delaware: 302-791-5350); or through the
Fund's computer access program. Orders received before 12:00 noon, Eastern time,
for which payment has been received by PNC Bank, the Fund's custodian will be
executed at 12:00 noon. Orders received after 12:00 noon and before 2:30 P.M.,
Eastern time, (or orders received earlier in the same day for which payment has
not been received by 12:00 noon) will be executed at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, if
payment has been received by PNC Bank by that time. Orders received
6
<PAGE> 125
at other times, and orders for which payment has not been received by 4:00 P.M.,
Eastern time, will not be accepted, and notice thereof will be given to the
institution placing the order. (Payment for orders which are not received or
accepted will be returned after prompt inquiry to the sending institution.) The
Fund may in its discretion reject any order for shares.
Payment for Fund shares may be made only in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to PNC Bank. The minimum initial investment is $5,000.
Broker-dealers and other institutional investors may set a higher minimum for
their customers. There is no minimum subsequent investment.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an institution's receipt of
compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that are invested in Dollar
shares. (See also "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
Institutions, including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and
investment advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the
SEC, the Department of Labor or state securities commissions, should consult
their legal advisors before investing fiduciary funds in Dollar shares. (See
also "Management of the Fund--Banking Laws.")
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Redemption orders must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware, in
the manner described under "Purchase Procedures." Shares are redeemed at the net
asset value per share next determined after PFPC's receipt of the redemption
order. While the Fund intends to use its best efforts to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00, the proceeds paid to a shareholder upon redemption may
be more or less than the amount invested depending upon a share's net asset
value at the time of redemption.
Payment for redeemed shares for which a redemption order is received by
PFPC before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day is normally made in
federal funds wired to the redeeming shareholder on the same day. A shareholder
of record located in the Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone may receive
redemption proceeds wired the same day in federal funds to a destination within
such time zone if its redemption order is received before 2:30 P.M., Eastern
time, or 1:30 P.M., Eastern time, respectively. Payment for other redemption
orders which are received between 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, or on
a day when PNC Bank is closed, is normally wired in federal funds on the next
day following redemption that PNC Bank is open for business.
The Fund shall have the right to redeem shares in any account if the value
of the account is less than $1,000 after sixty-days' prior written notice to the
shareholder. Any such redemption shall be effected at the net asset value per
share next determined after the redemption order is entered. If during the sixty
day period the shareholder increases the value of its account to $1,000 or more,
no such redemption shall take place. In addition, the Fund may redeem shares
involuntarily or suspend the right of redemption under certain special
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information."
7
<PAGE> 126
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined by PIMC as of 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, on each day on which both the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the
New York Stock Exchange are open for business. Currently, one or both of these
institutions are closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (observed). The net asset value per share of each class of the
Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets
belonging to the Fund, subtracting liabilities attributable to each class and
dividing the result by the total number of the outstanding shares of each class.
In computing net asset value, the Fund uses the amortized cost method of
valuation as described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information." The Fund's net asset value per
share for purposes of pricing purchase and redemption orders is determined
independently of the net asset values of the shares of the Company's other
investment portfolios.
Fund shares are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Institutional
investors purchasing or holding Fund shares for their customer accounts may
charge customers fees for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts. A customer should, therefore, consider the terms
of its account with an institution before purchasing Fund shares. An institution
purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf of its customers is responsible for
transmitting orders to the Fund in accordance with its customer agreements.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER
PIMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Asset Management Group, Inc. which
is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, serves as the Fund's
investment adviser. PIMC was organized in 1977 by PNC Bank to perform advisory
services for investment companies and has its principal offices at Bellevue Park
Corporate Center, 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809. PNC Asset
Management Group, Inc.'s principal business address is 1835 Market Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102. PNC Bank serves as the Fund's sub-adviser. PNC
Bank is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. and its principal
business address is Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102. PNC Bank Corp. is a multi-bank holding company. PIMC and PNC Bank also
serve as adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to the Company's FedFund,
T-Fund, FedCash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government
Fund portfolios.
PNC Bank Corp., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the eleventh
largest bank holding company in the United States. Categorized as a super
regional bank holding company, PNC Bank Corp. operates over 500 branch offices
in six U.S. states.
PNC Bank's Investment Management and Trust Division, headquartered in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, traces its money management services to individuals
and institutions to the year 1847, and is the second largest bank manager of
investments for individuals in the U.S. with $28 billion in discretionary trust
assets under management.
PNC Financial Services Group is PNC Bank Corp.'s mutual fund complex,
headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. This group includes PIMC, PFPC, and PNC
Bank. In 1973, Provident National Bank (predecessor to PNC Bank) commenced
advising the first institutional money market mutual fund - a U.S.
dollar-denominated constant net asset value fund - offered in the United States.
The PNC Financial Services Group is one of the largest U.S. bank managers
of mutual funds with assets currently under management in excess of $30 billion.
This group, through PFPC and PFPC International Ltd, is also a leading mutual
fund service provider having contractual relationships with approximately 400
mutual funds with 3.5 million shareholders and in excess of $106 billion in
assets. This group, through its PNC Institutional Investment Service, provides
investment research to some 250 financial institutions located in the United
States and abroad. PNC Bank provides custodial services for approximately $217
billion in assets, including $106 billion in mutual fund assets.
As adviser, PIMC manages the Fund's portfolio and is responsible for all
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. PIMC also maintains the
Fund's financial accounts and records and computes the Fund's net asset value
and net income. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on
the combined average net assets of the Fund, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, Federal
Trust
9
<PAGE> 128
Fund and Treasury Trust Fund. The advisory fee is allocated among these Funds in
proportion to their relative net assets. PIMC and the administrators may from
time to time reduce the advisory and administration fees otherwise payable to
them or may reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses. Any fees waived or
expenses reimbursed by PIMC or the administrators with respect to a particular
fiscal year are not recoverable. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the
Fund paid advisory fees aggregating .03% of the Fund's average net assets.
Absent fee waivers, advisory fees would have been .13% of the Fund's average
daily net assets.
As sub-adviser, PNC Bank provides research, credit analysis and
recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments, and supplies PIMC with
certain computer facilities, personnel and other services. For its sub-advisory
and other services, PNC Bank is entitled to receive from PIMC an amount equal to
75% of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to PIMC (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances). The sub-advisory fees paid by PIMC to PNC Bank have no
effect on the advisory fees payable by the Fund to PIMC. PNC Bank also serves as
the Fund's custodian. The services provided by PNC Bank and PIMC and the fees
payable by the Fund for these services are described in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Management of the Funds."
ADMINISTRATORS
PFPC, whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,
Delaware 19809, and PDI whose principal business address is 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, serve as co-administrators. PFPC is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. A majority of the
outstanding stock of PDI is owned by its officers. The administrative services
provided by the administrators, which are described more fully in the Statement
of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds," include providing and
supervising the operation of an automated data processing system to process
purchase and redemption orders; assisting in maintaining the Fund's Wilmington,
Delaware office; performing administration services in connection with the
Fund's computer access program maintained to facilitate shareholder access to
the Fund; accumulating information for and coordinating the preparation of
reports to the Fund's shareholders and the SEC; and maintaining the registration
or qualification of the Fund's shares for sale under state securities laws.
For their administrative services, the administrators are entitled jointly
to receive a fee computed daily and payable monthly, determined in the same
manner as PIMC's advisory fee described above. (For information regarding the
administrators' obligations to waive administrative fees otherwise payable to
them and to reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, see "Investment Adviser
and Sub-Adviser" above.) The Fund also reimburses each administrator for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Funds'
computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid PFPC and PDI administration fees aggregating less than .03% of its average
net assets. Absent fee waivers, administration fees would have been .13% of the
Fund's average net assets.
PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing
agent. The transfer agent's address is P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware
19885-9628. The services provided by PFPC and PDI and the fees payable by the
Fund for these services are described in the Statement of Additional Information
under "Management of the Funds."
10
<PAGE> 129
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Its principal offices are
located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Fund
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent. The
distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons
who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding preparation and printing
expenses necessary for the continued registration of the Fund's shares) and of
printing and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by
the Fund to the distributor for its distribution services.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
Institutional investors, such as banks, savings and loan associations and
other financial institutions, including affiliates of PNC Bank Corp. ("Service
Organizations"), may purchase Dollar shares. T-Cash Dollar shares are identical
in all respects to the Company's T-Cash shares except that they bear the service
fees described below and enjoy certain exclusive voting rights on matters
relating to these fees. The Fund will enter into an agreement with each Service
Organization which purchases Dollar shares requiring it to provide support
services to its customers who are the beneficial owners of Dollar shares in
consideration of the Fund's payment of .25% (on an annualized basis) of the
average daily net assets of the Dollar shares held by the Service Organization
for the benefit of customers. Such services, which are described more fully in
the Statement of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds--Service
Organizations," include aggregating and processing purchase and redemption
requests from customers and placing net purchase and redemption orders with
PFPC; processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of customers;
providing information periodically to customers showing their positions in
Dollar shares; and providing sub-accounting or the information necessary for
sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares beneficially owned by customers.
Under the terms of the agreements, Service Organizations are required to provide
to their customers a schedule of any fees that they may charge to the customers
relating to the investment of the customers' assets in Dollar shares. T-Cash
shares are sold to institutions that have not entered into servicing agreements
with the Fund in connection with their investments.
EXPENSES
Except as noted above and in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Funds--Custodian and Transfer Agent," the Fund's service
contractors bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their
services. Similarly, the Fund bears the expenses incurred in its operations. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund's total expenses with respect
to T-Cash shares and T-Cash Dollar shares were .11% and .36% (net of fee waivers
of .19% and .19%, respectively) of the average net assets of the T-Cash shares
and T-Cash Dollar shares, respectively. With regard to fees paid exclusively by
Dollar shares, see "Service Organizations" above.
BANKING LAWS
Banking laws and regulations presently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company engaged
11
<PAGE> 130
continuously in the issuance of its shares, and prohibit banks generally from
issuing, underwriting, selling or distributing securities such as Fund shares.
Such banking laws and regulations do not prohibit such a holding company or
affiliate or banks generally from acting as investment adviser, transfer agent
or custodian to such an investment company, or from purchasing shares of such a
company for or upon the order of customers. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC, as well as
some Service Organizations, are subject to such banking laws and regulations,
but believe they may perform the services for the Fund contemplated by their
respective agreements, this Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
without violating applicable banking laws or regulations.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of bank Service Organizations in connection with the
provision of support services to their customers, the Fund might be required to
alter or discontinue its arrangements with Service Organizations and change its
method of operations with respect to Dollar shares. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Fund's method of operations would affect its net
asset value per share or result in a financial loss to any customer.
DIVIDENDS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to dividends and distributions
arising only from the net investment income and capital gains, if any, earned on
its investments. The Fund's net investment income is declared daily as a
dividend to its shareholders of record at the close of business on the day of
declaration. Shares begin accruing dividends on the day the purchase order for
the shares is executed and continue to accrue dividends through, and including,
the day before the redemption order for the shares is executed. Dividends are
paid monthly by check, or by wire transfer if requested in writing by the
shareholder, within five business days after the end of the month or within five
business days after a redemption of all of a shareholder's shares of a
particular class. The Fund does not expect to realize net long-term capital
gains.
Dividends are determined in the same manner for each share of the Fund.
Dollar shares bear all the expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. As a
result, at any given time, the net yield on T-Cash Dollar shares is
approximately .25% lower than the net yield on T-Cash shares.
Institutional shareholders may elect to have their dividends reinvested in
additional full and fractional shares of the same class of shares with respect
to which such dividends are declared at the net asset value of such shares on
the payment date. Reinvested dividends receive the same tax treatment as
dividends paid in cash. Such election, or any revocation thereof, must be made
in writing to PFPC at P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware 19885-9628, and will
become effective after its receipt by PFPC with respect to dividends paid.
PFPC, as transfer agent, will send each Fund shareholder or its authorized
representative an annual statement designating the amount, if any, of any
dividends and distributions made during each year and their federal tax
qualification.
TAXES
The Fund qualified in its last taxable year and intends to qualify in
future years as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the
12
<PAGE> 131
"Code"). A regulated Investment Company is generally exempt from federal income
tax on amounts distributed to its shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that the Fund distribute to its
shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for such
year. In general, the Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income (including interest and short-term capital gains, if any),
subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net long-term
capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss, if any,
for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
investment company taxable income each year. Such distributions will be taxable
as ordinary income to the Fund's shareholders which are not currently exempt
from federal income taxes, whether such income is received in cash or reinvested
in additional shares. (Federal income taxes for distributions to an IRA or a
qualified retirement plan are deferred under the Code.) It is anticipated that
none of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the dividends received
deduction for corporations. The Fund does not expect to realize long-term
capital gains and therefore does not expect to distribute any "capital gain
dividends," as described in the Code.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be deemed to have
been received by the shareholders and paid by the Fund on December 31 of such
year, in the event such dividends are actually paid during January of the
following year.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. As indicated
above, IRAs receive special tax treatment. No attempt is made to present a
detailed explanation of the federal, state or local income tax treatment of the
Fund or its shareholders, and this discussion is not intended as a substitute
for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the Fund should
consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.
YIELDS
From time to time in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
"yields" and "effective yields" for T-Cash shares and T-Cash Dollar shares may
be quoted. Yield quotations are computed for T-Cash shares separately from those
for T-Cash Dollar shares. The "yield" quoted in advertisements for a particular
class or sub-class of Fund shares refers to the income generated by an
investment in such shares over specified period (such as a seven-day period)
identified in the advertisement. This income is then "annualized." That is, the
amount of income generated by the investment during that period is assumed to be
generated for each such period over a 52-week or one-year period and is shown as
a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated similarly
but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in a particular class
or sub-class of shares is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will
be slightly higher than the "yield" because of the compounding effect of this
assumed reinvestment.
The Fund's yields may be compared to those of other mutual funds with
similar objectives, to stock or other relevant indices, or to rankings prepared
by independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor
the performance of mutual funds. For example, such data are reported in national
financial publications such as IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R), The
13
<PAGE> 132
Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, reports prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., and publications of a local or regional nature.
The Fund's yield figures for T-Cash shares and T-Cash Dollar shares
represent the Fund's past performance, will fluctuate, and should not be
considered as representative of future results. The yield of any investment is
generally a function of portfolio quality and maturity, type of investment and
operating expenses. Any fees charged by Service Organization or other
institutional investors directly to their customers in connection with
investments in Fund shares are not reflected in the Fund's yield calculations;
and, such fees, if charged, would reduce the actual return received by customers
on their investments. The methods used to compute the Fund's yields are
described in more detail in the Statement of Additional Information. Investors
may call 800-821-6006 (T-Cash shares code: 72 T-Cash Dollar shares code: 73) to
obtain current-yield information.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND MISCELLANEOUS
The Company is a Pennsylvania business trust established on May 14, 1975.
Effective March 2, 1987, the Company's name was changed from Trust for
Short-Term Federal Securities to Trust for Federal Securities. The Company
commenced operations of the Fund in June, 1991.
The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares into one or
more additional classes of shares. Pursuant to such authority, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the issuance of fourteen classes of shares designated as
FedFund, FedFund Dollar, T-Fund, T-Fund Dollar, FedCash, FedCash Dollar, T-Cash,
T-Cash Dollar, Federal Trust, Federal Trust Dollar, Treasury Trust, Treasury
Trust Dollar, Short Government and Short Government Dollar. The Declaration of
Trust further authorizes the trustees to classify or reclassify any class of
shares into one or more sub-classes.
THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCORPORATED
HEREIN RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUND AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE FUND.
INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S FEDFUND,
T-FUND, FEDCASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND, TREASURY TRUST FUND AND SHORT GOVERNMENT
FUND PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE PORTFOLIOS BY
CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Company will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a member of the Board of Trustees upon written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company
entitled to vote.
Each T-Cash share and T-Cash Dollar share represents an equal proportionate
interest in the assets belonging to the Fund. Each share is without par value
and has no preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for payment as described
in this Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and non-assessable.
14
<PAGE> 133
Holders of the Company's T-Cash shares and T-Cash Dollar shares will vote
in the aggregate and not by class or sub-class on all matters, except where
otherwise required by law and except that only Dollar shares will be entitled to
vote on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's
arrangements with Service Organizations. Further, shareholders of all of the
Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio except as
otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the
matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a
particular portfolio. (See the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Description Concerning Fund Shares" for examples where the 1940 Act
requires voting by portfolio.) Shareholders of the Company are entitled to one
vote for each full share held (irrespective of class, sub-class, or portfolio)
and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not
cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
shares of the Company may elect all of the trustees.
For information concerning the redemption of Fund shares and possible
restrictions on their transferability, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares."
As stated above, the Company is organized as a trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for the
obligations of the trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not
because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.

This Statement of Additional Information is meant to be read
in conjunction with the Prospectuses for FedCash and T-Cash dated February 28,
1995 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into those Prospectuses.
Because this Statement of Additional Information is not itself a prospectus, no
investment in shares of FedCash or T-Cash should be made solely upon the
information contained herein. Copies of the Prospectuses for FedCash and
T-Cash may be obtained by calling 800-821-7432. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein have the same meanings as in the Prospectuses.
<PAGE> 136
THE COMPANY
Trust for Federal Securities (Trust for Short-Term Federal
Securities prior to March 2, 1987) is a no-load, diversified, open-end
investment company designed primarily as a vehicle by which institutional
investors can invest cash reserves in a choice of portfolios consisting of
government securities. Trust for Federal Securities (the "Company") consists
of seven separate investment portfolios--FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash,
Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund. This
Statement of Additional Information relates primarily to the Company's FedCash
and T-Cash portfolios (the "Funds").
The securities held by FedCash consist of obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and
repurchase agreements relating to such obligations. Securities held by T-Cash
are limited to U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other direct obligations of the
U.S. Treasury and repurchase agreements relating to direct Treasury
obligations. Although both Funds have the same investment adviser and have
comparable investment objectives, their yields normally will differ due to

THIS STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND THE FUNDS'
PROSPECTUSES RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUNDS AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO
THE FUNDS. INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE
COMPANY'S FEDFUND, T-FUND, FEDERAL TRUST FUND, TREASURY TRUST FUND OR SHORT
GOVERNMENT FUND PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE
PORTFOLIOS BY CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the investment objective
of each Fund is to seek current income with liquidity and security of
principal. The following policies supplement the description in the
Prospectuses of the investment objectives and policies of the Funds.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Subject to the general control of the Company's Board of
Trustees, PIMC, the Funds' investment adviser, is responsible for, makes
decisions with respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of
portfolio securities for the Funds. Purchases and sales of portfolio
securities are usually principal transactions without brokerage commissions.
In making portfolio investments, PIMC seeks to obtain the best net price and
the most favorable execution of orders. To the extent that the execution and
price offered by more than one dealer are comparable, PIMC may, in its
discretion, effect transactions in portfolio securities with dealers who
provide the Company with research advice or other services. Although the Funds
will not seek profits through short-term trading, PIMC may, on behalf of the
Funds, dispose of any portfolio security prior to its maturity if it believes
such disposition is advisable.
Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from
those for other investment company portfolios or accounts advised or managed by
PIMC. Such other portfolios may invest in the same securities as the Funds.
When purchases or sales of the same security are made at substantially the same
time on behalf of such other portfolios, transactions are averaged as to price,
and available investments allocated as to amount, in a manner which PIMC
believes to be equitable to each portfolio, including either Fund. In
-2-
<PAGE> 137
some instances, this investment procedure may adversely affect the price paid
or received by a Fund or the size of the position obtained for a Fund. To the
extent permitted by law, PIMC may aggregate the securities to be sold or
purchased for a Fund with those to be sold or purchased for such other
investment company portfolios in order to obtain best execution.
Portfolio securities will not be purchased from or sold to and
the Funds will not enter into repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase
agreements with PIMC, PNC, PFPC, Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") or any
affiliated person (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of any of them,
except to the extent permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"). Furthermore, with respect to such transactions, securities, deposits
and repurchase agreements, the Funds will not give preference to Service
Organizations with whom the Funds enter into agreements concerning the
provision of support services to customers who beneficially own FedCash Dollar
shares or T-Cash Dollar shares ("Dollar shares"). (See the Prospectuses,
"Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
The Funds do not intend to seek profits through short-term
trading. The Funds' annual portfolio turnover rates will be relatively high
but the Funds' portfolio turnover is not expected to have a material effect on
their net incomes. The portfolio turnover rate for each of the Funds is
expected to be zero for regulatory reporting purposes.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The repurchase price under the repurchase agreements described
in the Funds' Prospectuses generally equals the price paid by a Fund plus
interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates (which may be more
or less than the rate on the securities underlying the repurchase agreement).
Securities subject to repurchase agreements will be held by the Funds'
custodian, sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.
Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by the Funds under the 1940
Act.
Whenever the Funds enter into reverse repurchase agreements as
described in their Prospectuses, they will place in a segregated custodial
account liquid assets having a value equal to the repurchase price (including
accrued interest) and will subsequently monitor the account to ensure such
equivalent value is maintained. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered
to be borrowings by the Funds under the 1940 Act.
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the Funds may purchase
securities on a "when-issued" basis (i.e., for delivery beyond the normal
settlement date at a stated price and yield). When a Fund agrees to purchase
when-issued securities, its custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio
securities equal to the amount of the commitment in a separate account.
Normally, the custodian will set aside portfolio securities to satisfy a
purchase commitment, and in such a case such Fund may be required subsequently
to place additional assets in the separate account in order to ensure that the
value of the account remains equal to the amount of such Fund's commitment. It
may be expected that a Fund's net assets will fluctuate to a greater degree
when it sets aside portfolio securities to cover such purchase commitments than
when it sets aside cash. Because the Funds will set aside cash or liquid
assets to satisfy their respective purchase commitments in the manner
described, such a Fund's liquidity and ability to manage its portfolio might be
affected in the event its commitments to purchase when-issued securities ever
exceeded 25% of the value of its assets. Neither Fund intends to purchase
when-issued securities for speculative purposes but only in furtherance of its
investment objectives. The Funds reserve the right to sell the securities
before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
-3-
<PAGE> 138
When a Fund engages in when-issued transactions, it relies on
the seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may result
in a Fund's incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to obtain a price
considered to be advantageous.
With respect to loans by the Funds of their portfolio
securities as described in their Prospectuses, the Funds would continue to
accrue interest on loaned securities and would also earn income on loans. Any
cash collateral received by the Funds in connection with such loans would be
invested in short-term U.S. government obligations. With respect to FedCash,
it may also invest in multiple class pass-through securities, including
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") issued or guaranteed by U.S.
Government agencies or instrumentalities, which have a remaining maturity of
397 days or less in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the
1940 Act. Each class of a CMO, which frequently elect to be taxed as a real
estate mortgage investment conduit ("REMIC") represents an ownership interest
in, and the right to receive a specified portion of the cash flow consisting of
interest and principal on a pool of residential mortgage loans or mortgage
pass-through securities ("Mortgage Assets"). CMOs are issued in multiple
classes, each with a specified fixed or floating interest rate and a final
distribution date. The relative payment rights of the various CMO classes may
be structured in many ways. In most cases, however, payments of principal are
applied to the CMO classes in the order of their respective stated maturities,
so that no principal payments will be made on a CMO class until all other
classes having an earlier stated maturity date are paid in full. These
multiple class securities may be issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government
agencies or instrumentalities, including GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC, or issued by
trusts formed by private originators of, or investors in, mortgage loans.
Classes in CMOs which the Fund may hold are known as "regular" interests. CMOs
also issue "residual" interests, which in general are junior to and more
volatile than regular interests.
Neither Fund will invest more than 10% of the value of its
assets in investments which are not readily marketable at the time of purchase
or subsequent valuation. Securities for purposes of this limitation do not
include securities which have been determined to be liquid by the Fund's Board
of Trustees based upon the trading markets for such securities.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Funds' Prospectuses summarize certain investment
limitations that may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders
of a "majority of the outstanding shares" of the respective Fund (as defined
below under "Miscellaneous"). Below is a complete list of the Funds'
investment limitations that may not be changed without such a vote of
shareholders.
1. FedCash may not purchase securities other than U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, some of which may be subject to
repurchase agreements. There is no limit on the amount of FedCash's assets
which may be invested in the securities of any one issuer of such obligations.
2. T-Cash may not purchase securities other than direct
obligations of the U.S. Treasury such as Treasury bills and notes, some of
which may be subject to repurchase agreements. There is no limit on the amount
of T-Cash's assets which may be invested in securities of any one issuer of
such obligations.
-4-
<PAGE> 139
FedCash and T-Cash may not:
3. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes
and then in an amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the particular Fund's
total assets, or mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets except in
connection with any such borrowing and in amounts not in excess of the lesser
of the dollar amounts borrowed or 10% of the value of the particular Fund's
total assets at the time of such borrowing. (This borrowing provision is not
for investment leverage, but solely to facilitate management of each Fund by
enabling the Company to meet redemption requests where the liquidation of
portfolio securities is deemed to be inconvenient or disadvantageous.)
Borrowing may take the form of a sale of portfolio securities accompanied by a
simultaneous agreement as to their repurchase. Interest paid on borrowed funds
will not be available for investment.
4. Act as an underwriter.
5. Make loans except that the Funds may purchase or hold
debt obligations in accordance with their respective investment objective and
policies, may enter into repurchase agreements for securities, and may lend
portfolio securities against collateral consisting of cash or securities which
are consistent with the lending Fund's permitted investments, which is equal at
all times to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. There is no
investment restriction on the amount of securities that may be loaned, except
that payments received on such loans, including amounts received during the
loan on account of interest on the securities loaned, may not (together with
all non-qualifying income) exceed 10% of the Fund's annual gross income
(without offset for realized capital gains) unless, in the opinion of counsel
to the Company, such amounts are qualifying income under federal income tax
provisions applicable to regulated investment companies.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
IN GENERAL
Information on how to purchase and redeem a Fund's shares is
included in its Prospectus. The issuance of shares is recorded on the books of
the Funds, and share certificates are not issued unless expressly requested in
writing. Certificates are not issued for fractional shares.
The regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency provide
that funds held in a fiduciary capacity by a national bank approved by the
Comptroller to exercise fiduciary powers must be invested in accordance with
the instrument establishing the fiduciary relationship and local law. The
Company believes that the purchase of FedCash shares and T-Cash shares by such
national banks acting on behalf of their fiduciary accounts is not contrary to
applicable regulations if consistent with the particular account and proper
under the law governing the administration of the account.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an
institution's receipt of compensation paid by the Funds on fiduciary funds that
are invested in Dollar shares. Institutions, including banks regulated by the
Comptroller of the Currency and investment advisers and other money managers
subject to the jurisdiction of the SEC, the Department of Labor or state
securities commissions, should consult their legal advisors before investing
fiduciary funds in Dollar shares.
Prior to effecting a redemption of shares represented by
certificates, PFPC, the Funds' transfer agent, must have received such
certificates at its principal office. All such certificates must be endorsed
-5-
<PAGE> 140
by the redeeming shareholder or accompanied by a signed stock power, in each
instance with the signature guaranteed by a commercial bank, a member of a
major stock exchange or other eligible guarantor institution, unless other
arrangements satisfactory to the Funds have previously been made. The Funds
may require any additional information reasonably necessary to evidence that a
redemption has been duly authorized.
Under the 1940 Act, the Funds may suspend the right of
redemption or postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period
during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary
weekend and holiday closings, or during which trading on said Exchange is
restricted, or during which (as determined by the SEC by rule or regulation) an
emergency exists as a result of which disposal or valuation of portfolio
securities is not reasonably practicable, or for such other periods as the SEC
may permit. (The Funds may also suspend or postpone the recordation of the
transfer of their shares upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing
conditions.)
In addition, the Funds may redeem shares involuntarily in
certain other instances if the Board of Trustees determines that failure to
redeem may have material adverse consequences to a Fund's shareholders in
general. Each Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to $250,000
or 1% of the Fund's net asset value, whichever is less, for any one shareholder
within a 90-day period. Any redemption beyond this amount will also be in cash
unless the Board of Trustees determines that conditions exist which make
payment of redemption proceeds wholly in cash unwise or undesirable. In such a
case, the Fund may make payment wholly or partly in securities or other
property, valued in the same way as the Fund determines net asset value. (See
"Net Asset Value" below for an example of when such redemption or form of
payment might be appropriate.) Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash
redemption. Shareholders who receive a redemption in kind may incur
transaction costs if they sell such securities or property, and may receive
less than the redemption value of such securities or property upon sale,
particularly where such securities are sold prior to maturity.
Any institution purchasing shares on behalf of separate
accounts will be required to hold the shares in a single nominee name (a
"Master Account"). Institutions investing in more than one of the Company's
portfolios or classes of shares must maintain a separate Master Account for
each portfolio and class of shares. Sub-accounts may be established by name or
number either when the Master Account is opened or later.
NET ASSET VALUE
As stated in each Fund's Prospectus, each Fund's net asset
value per share is calculated by adding the value of all of the Fund's
portfolio securities and other assets belonging to that Fund, subtracting the
liabilities charged to that Fund, and dividing the result by the total number
of that Fund's shares outstanding (by class). "Assets belonging to" a Fund
consist of the consideration received upon the issuance of shares together with
all income, earnings, profits and proceeds derived from the investment thereof,
including any proceeds from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such
investments, any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such
proceeds, and a portion of any general assets of the Company not belonging to a
particular portfolio. Assets belonging to a particular Fund are charged with
the direct liabilities of that Fund and with a share of the general liabilities
of the Company allocated in proportion to the relative net assets of such Fund
and the Company's other portfolios. Determinations made in good faith and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by the Board of
Trustees as to the allocations of any assets or liabilities with respect to a
Fund are conclusive.
-6-
<PAGE> 141
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, in computing the net
asset value of shares of the Funds for purposes of sales and redemptions, the
Funds use the amortized cost method of valuation. Under this method, the Funds
value each of their portfolio securities at cost on the date of purchase and
thereafter assume a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or
premium until maturity of the security. As a result, the value of a portfolio
security for purposes of determining net asset value normally does not change
in response to fluctuating interest rates. While the amortized cost method
provides certainty in portfolio valuation, it may result in valuations for the
Funds' securities which are higher or lower than the market value of such
securities.
In connection with their use of amortized cost valuation, each
of the Funds limits the dollar-weighted average maturity of its portfolio to
not more than 90 days and does not purchase any instrument with a remaining
maturity of more than thirteen months (with certain exceptions). In
determining the average weighted portfolio maturity of each Fund, a variable
rate obligation that is issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or an
agency or instrumentality thereof, is deemed to have a maturity equal to the
period remaining until the obligation's next interest rate adjustment. The
Company's Board of Trustees has also established procedures, pursuant to rules
promulgated by the SEC, that are intended to stabilize the net asset value per
share of each Fund for purposes of sales and redemptions at $1.00. Such
procedures include the determination at such intervals as the Board deems
appropriate, of the extent, if any, to which each Fund's net asset value per
share calculated by using available market quotations or a matrix believed to
provide reliable values deviates from $1.00 per share. In the event such
deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1% with respect to either Fund, the Board will
promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated. If the Board
believes that the amount of any deviation from the $1.00 amortized cost price
per share of a Fund may result in material dilution or other unfair results to
investors or existing shareholders, it will take such steps as it considers
appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the extent reasonably practicable any
such dilution or unfair results. These steps may include selling portfolio
instruments prior to maturity; shortening the Fund's average portfolio
maturity; withholding or reducing dividends; redeeming shares in kind; or
utilizing a net asset value per share determined by using available market
quotations.

The advisory fee is allocated between these Funds in
proportion to their relative net assets.
PIMC and the administrators have each agreed that if, in any
fiscal year, the expenses borne by a Fund exceed the applicable expense
limitations imposed by the securities regulations of any state in which shares
of the particular Fund are registered or qualified for sale to the public, they
will each reimburse such Fund for one-half of any excess to the extent required
by such regulations. Unless otherwise required by law, such reimbursement
would be accrued and paid on the same basis that the advisory and
administration fees are accrued and paid by such Fund. To the Funds'
knowledge, of the expense limitations in effect on the date of this Statement
of Additional Information, none is more restrictive than two and one-half
percent (2-1/2%) of the first $30 million of a Fund's average annual net
assets, two percent (2%) of the next $70 million of the average annual net
assets and one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the remaining average annual
net assets.
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1993 and 1994, FedCash
paid fees (net of waivers) for advisory services aggregating $161,363 and
$244,352, respectively. For the same period, advisory fees payable by FedCash
of $480,376 and $546,532, respectively were voluntarily waived. For the fiscal
years ended October 31, 1993 and 1994, T-Cash paid fees (net of waivers) for
advisory services aggregating $162,472 and $149,523, respectively. For the
same period, advisory fees payable by T-Cash of $502,288 and $409,893,
respectively were voluntarily waived. Any fees waived by PIMC are not
recoverable. PIMC and PNC also serve as the adviser and sub-adviser,
respectively, to the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury
Trust Fund and Short Government Fund portfolios.

BANKING LAWS
Certain banking laws and regulations with respect to
investment companies are discussed in each Fund's Prospectus. PIMC, PNC and
PFPC believe that they may perform the services for the Funds contemplated by
their respective agreements, Prospectuses and this Statement of Additional
Information without violation of applicable banking laws or regulations. It
should be noted, however, that future changes in legal requirements relating to
the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates, as well as further
interpretations of present requirements, could prevent PIMC and PFPC from
continuing to perform such services for the Funds and PNC from continuing to
perform such services for PIMC and the Funds. If PIMC, PFPC, or PNC were
prohibited from continuing to perform such services, it is expected that the
Company's Board of Trustees would recommend that the Funds enter into new
agreements with other qualified firms. Any new advisory agreement would be
subject to shareholder approval.
In addition, state securities laws on this issue may differ
from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein and banks and
financial institutions may be required to register as dealers pursuant to State
law.

for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
Fund's computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994,
FedCash and T-Cash paid PFPC and PDI fees (net of waivers) for administrative
services aggregating $244,352 and $149,523, respectively. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1992, FedCash paid fees (net of waivers) for administration
services aggregating $43,940 to its former administrator, Boston Advisors. For
the same period, administration fees payable to FedCash of $694,487 were
voluntarily waived. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1992, T-Cash paid
fees (net of waivers) for administration services aggregating $5,091 to Boston
Advisors. For the same period, administration fees payable to T-Cash of
$446,225 were voluntarily waived. For the period from November 1, 1992 through
January 17, 1993, the Company paid fees (net of waivers) totalling $30,138 with
respect to FedCash and $30,634 with respect to T-Cash to Boston Advisors. For
the same period, administration fees payable by FedCash and T-Cash of $22,206
and $22,848, respectively, were voluntarily waived. For the period from
January 18, 1993 through October 31, 1993, the Company paid fees (net of
waivers) for administrative services to PFPC and MFD, its administrators,
aggregating $161,363 with respect to FedCash Fund and $162,471 with respect to
T-Cash Fund. For the same period, administration fees of $508,289 with respect
to T-Cash Fund and $480,376 with respect to FedCash Fund were voluntarily
waived.
For information regarding the administrators' obligations to
reimburse the Funds in the event their expenses exceed certain prescribed
limits, see "Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser" above. PFPC, a wholly owned,
indirect subsidiary of PNC provides advisory, administrative or, in some cases,
sub-
-15-
<PAGE> 150
advisory and/or sub-administrative services to investment companies which are
distributed by PDI. PFPC and PDI also serve as co-administrators of the
Company's FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund, Short
Government Fund and Intermediate Government Fund portfolios.
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI acts as the distributor of the Funds' shares. Each Fund's
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent, although it
is not obliged to sell any particular amount of shares. PDI will prepare or
review, provide advice with respect to, and file with the federal and state
agencies or other organizations as required by federal, state, or other
applicable laws and regulations, all sales literature (advertisements,
brochures and shareholder communications) for each of the Funds and any class
or sub-class thereof. The distributor pays the cost of printing and
distributing prospectuses to persons who are not shareholders of the Funds
(excluding preparation and printing expenses necessary for the continued
registration of Fund shares) and of preparing, printing and distributing all
sales literature. No compensation is payable by the Funds to the distributor
for its distribution services. PDI also serves as the distributor for the
Company's FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short
Government Fund portfolios. PDI is a Delaware corporation with its principal
place of business located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor,
Pennsylvania 19087.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT
Pursuant to a Custodian Agreement, PNC serves as the Funds'
custodian. Under the Agreement, PNC has agreed to provide the following
services: (i) maintain a separate account or accounts in the name of the
Funds; (ii) hold and disburse portfolio securities on account of the Funds;
(iii) collect and make disbursements of money on behalf of the Funds; (iv)
collect and receive all income and other payments and distributions on account
of the Funds' portfolio securities; and (v) make periodic reports to the Board
of Trustees concerning the Funds' operations. The Custodian Agreement permits
PNC, on 30 days' notice, to assign its rights and delegate its duties
thereunder to any other affiliate of PNC or PNC Bank Corp., provided that PNC
remains responsible for the performance of the delegate under the Custodian
Agreement.
The Funds reimburse PNC for its direct and indirect costs and
expenses incurred in rendering custodial services. Under the Custodian
Agreement, each Fund pays PNC an annual fee
-16-
<PAGE> 151
equal to $.25 for each $1,000 of such Fund's average daily gross assets, which
fee declines as such Fund's average daily gross assets increase. In addition,
each Fund pays the custodian a fee for each purchase, sale or delivery of a
security, interest collection or claim item, and reimburses PFPC for
out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund. For the period ended
October 31, 1992 and the fiscal years ended October 31, 1993 and 1994, FedCash
paid fees for custodian services aggregating $132,761, $114,671 and $130,951,
respectively. For the same periods, T-Cash paid fees for custodian services
aggregating $90,879, $119,904 and $100,276, respectively. PNC also serves as
Custodian for the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust
Fund and Short Government Fund portfolios. PNC's principal business address is
Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102.
PFPC also serves as the Funds' transfer agent, registrar and
dividend disbursing agent pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. Under the
Agreement, PFPC has agreed to provide the following services: (i) maintain a
separate account or accounts in the name of the Funds; (ii) issue, transfer and
redeem shares of the Funds; (iii) disburse dividends and distributions, in the
manner described in each Fund's Prospectus, to shareholders of the Fund; (iv)
transmit all communications by the Funds to their shareholders or their
authorized representatives, including reports to shareholders, distribution and
dividend notices and proxy materials for meetings of shareholders; (v) prepare
and file with the appropriate taxing authorities reports or notices relating to
dividends and distributions made by the Funds; (vi) respond to correspondence
by shareholders, security brokers and others relating to its duties; (vii)
maintain shareholder accounts; and (viii) make periodic reports to the
Company's Board of Trustees concerning the Funds' operations. The Transfer
Agency Agreement permits PFPC, on 30-days' notice, to assign its rights and
duties thereunder to any other affiliate of PNC or PNC Bank Corp., provided
that PFPC remains responsible for the performance of the delegate under the
Transfer Agency Agreement.
Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, each Fund pays PFPC fees
at an annual rate of $12.00 per account and sub-account maintained by PFPC
plus $1.00 for each purchase or redemption transaction by an account (other
than a purchase transaction made in connection with the automatic reinvestment
of dividends). Payments to PFPC for sub-accounting services provided by others
are limited to the amount which PFPC pays to others for such services. In
addition, the Funds reimburse PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses related to such
services. For the period ended October 31, 1992 and the fiscal years ended
October 31, 1993 and
-17-
<PAGE> 152
1994, FedCash paid fees for transfer agency services aggregating $15,478,
$18,905 and $23,192, respectively. For the same periods, T-Cash paid fees for
transfer agency expenses aggregating $11,045, $22,708 and $25,305,
respectively. PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend
disbursing agent for the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund,
Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund portfolios.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the Funds will enter
into an agreement with each Service Organization which purchases Dollar shares
requiring it to provide support services to its customers who beneficially own
Dollar shares in consideration of the Funds' payment of .25% (on an annualized
basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Dollar shares held by the
Service Organization for the benefit of customers. Such services include: (i)
aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests from customers and
placing net purchase and redemption orders with the transfer agent; (ii)
providing customers with a service that invests the assets of their accounts in
Dollar shares; (iii) processing dividend payments from the Funds on behalf of
customers; (iv) providing information periodically to customers showing their
positions in Dollar shares; (v) arranging for bank wires; (vi) responding to
customer inquiries relating to the services performed by the Service
Organization; (vii) providing sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares
beneficially owned by customers or the information necessary for sub-
accounting; (viii) forwarding shareholder communications from the Funds (such
as proxies, shareholder reports, annual and semi-annual financial statements
and dividend, distribution and tax notices) to customers, if required by law;
and (ix) other similar services if requested by the Funds. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1994, the Company paid $171,386 in servicing fees to an
affiliate of the Company's adviser (representing 14.2% of the aggregate
servicing fees) all of which was allocated to T-Cash pursuant to service
agreements in effect during such period.
Each Fund's agreements with Service Organizations are governed
by a Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan") that has been adopted by the
Company's Board of Trustees pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC
in connection with the creation of the Dollar shares. Pursuant to each Plan,
the Board of Trustees reviews, at least quarterly, a written report of the
amounts expended under the Fund's agreements with Service Organizations and the
purposes for which the expenditures were made. In addition, the Funds'
arrangements with Service Organizations must be approved annually by a majority
of the
-18-
<PAGE> 153
Company's trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Company as defined in the 1940 Act and have no
direct or indirect financial interest in such arrangements (the "Disinterested
Trustees").
The Board of Trustees has approved the Funds' arrangements
with Service Organizations based on information provided by the Funds' service
contractors that there is a reasonable likelihood that the arrangements will
benefit the Funds and their shareholders by affording the Funds greater
flexibility in connection with the servicing of the accounts of the beneficial
owners of their shares in an efficient manner. Any material amendment to the
Funds' arrangements with Service Organizations must be approved by a majority
of the Company's Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Disinterested
Trustees). So long as the Funds' arrangements with Service Organizations are
in effect, the selection and nomination of the members of the Company's Board
of Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of
the Company will be committed to the discretion of such non-interested
trustees.
EXPENSES
The Funds' expenses include taxes, interest, fees and salaries
of the Company's trustees and officers, SEC fees, state securities
qualification fees, Standard & Poor's rating fees (cost incurred by T-Cash
only), Moody's rating fees (cost incurred by T-Cash only), costs of preparing
and printing prospectuses for regulatory purposes and for distribution to
shareholders, advisory and administration fees, charges of the custodian,
transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent, Service Organization fees,
certain insurance premiums, outside auditing and legal expenses, costs of
shareholder reports and shareholder meetings and any extraordinary expenses.
The Funds also pay for brokerage fees and commissions (if any) in connection
with the purchase of portfolio securities.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES
The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting each Fund and its shareholders that are not described in
each Fund's Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation
of the tax treatment of the Funds or their shareholders or possible legislative
changes, and the discussion here and in each Fund's Prospectus is not intended
as a substitute for careful tax planning. Investors
-19-
<PAGE> 154
should consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax
situations.
Each Fund of the Company is treated as a separate corporate
entity under the Code and intends to qualify each year as a regulated
investment company under the Code. In order to so qualify for a taxable year,
each Fund must satisfy the distribution requirement described in its
Prospectus, derive at least 90% of its gross income for the year from certain
qualifying sources, comply with certain diversification requirements and derive
less than 30% of its gross income from the sale or other disposition of
securities and certain other investments held for less than three months.
Interest (including original issue discount and accrued market discount)
received by a Fund upon maturity or disposition of a security held for less
than three months will not be treated as gross income derived from the sale or
other disposition of such security within the meaning of this requirement.
However, any other income that is attributable to realized market appreciation
will be treated as gross income from the sale or other disposition of
securities for this purpose.
A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated
investment companies that fail to distribute currently an amount equal to
specified percentages of their ordinary taxable income and capital gain net
income (excess of capital gains over capital losses). Each Fund intends to
make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions of its ordinary taxable
income and any capital gain net income each calendar year to avoid liability
for this excise tax.
If for any taxable year a Fund does not qualify for tax
treatment as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income will be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, without any deduction
for distributions to Fund shareholders. In such event, dividend distributions
would be taxable as ordinary income to Fund shareholders to the extent of that
Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits and would be eligible for
the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders.
Each Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and
remit to the U.S. Treasury 31% of taxable dividends or gross sale proceeds paid
to any shareholder who has failed to provide a correct tax identification
number in the manner required, who is subject to withholding by the Internal
Revenue Service for failure to properly include on its return payments of
taxable interest or dividends, or who has failed to certify to the Fund
-20-
<PAGE> 155
when required to do so that he is not subject to backup withholding or that he
is an "exempt recipient."
Depending upon the extent of the Funds' activities in states
and localities in which their offices are maintained, in which their agents or
independent contractors are located or in which they are otherwise deemed to be
conducting business, the Funds may be subject to the tax laws of such states or
localities. In addition, in those states and localities which have income tax
laws, the treatment of the Funds and their shareholders under such laws may
differ from their treatment under federal income tax laws. Shareholders are
advised to consult their tax advisors concerning the application of state and
local taxes.
The foregoing discussion is based on federal tax laws and
regulations which are in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional
Information; such laws and regulations may be changed by legislative or
administrative action.
DIVIDENDS
Net income of each of the Funds for dividend purposes consists
of (i) interest accrued and original issue discount earned on the Fund's
assets, (ii) plus the amortization of market discount and minus the
amortization of market premium on such assets, (iii) less accrued expenses
directly attributable to the Fund and the general expenses (e.g., legal,
accounting and trustees' fees) of the Company prorated to the Fund on the basis
of its relative net assets. In addition, Dollar shares bear exclusively the
expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. (See "Management of the
Funds--Service Organizations.")
As stated, the Company uses its best efforts to maintain the
net asset value per share of FedCash and T-Cash at $1.00. As a result of a
significant expense or realized or unrealized loss incurred by either Fund, it
is possible that the Fund's net asset value per share may fall below $1.00.
ADDITIONAL YIELD INFORMATION
The "yields" and "effective yields" are calculated separately
for each class of shares of each Fund and in accordance with the formulas
prescribed by the SEC. The seven-day yield for each class of shares is
calculated by determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical
pre-existing account in the particular Fund which has a balance of one share
-21-
<PAGE> 156
of the class involved at the beginning of the period, dividing the net change
by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to obtain the base
period return, and multiplying the base period return by 365/7. The net change
in the value of an account in a Fund includes the value of additional shares
purchased with dividends from the original share and dividends declared on the
original share and any such additional shares, net of all fees charged to all
shareholder accounts in proportion to the length of the base period and the
Fund's average account size, but does not include gains and losses or
unrealized appreciation and depreciation. In addition, an effective annualized
yield quotation may be computed on a compounded basis with respect to each
class of its shares by adding 1 to the base period return for the class
involved (calculated as described above), raising that sum to a power equal to
365/7, and subtracting 1 from the result. Similarly, based on the calculations
described above, the Funds' 30-day (or one-month) yields and effective yields
may also be calculated.
For the seven-day period ended October 31, 1994, the yields on
FedCash shares and T-Cash shares were 4.90% and 4.71%, respectively, and the
compounded effective yields on FedCash shares and T-Cash shares were 5.02% and
4.82%, respectively; the yields on FedCash Dollar shares and T-Cash Dollar
shares were 4.65% and 4.46%, respectively, and the compounded effective yields
on FedCash Dollar Shares and T-Cash Dollar Shares were 4.76% and 4.56%,
respectively. During this seven-day period, the Funds' adviser and
administrator voluntarily waived a portion of its advisory and administration
fees payable by the Funds. Without these waivers, for the same period the
yields on FedCash shares and T-Cash shares would have been 4.73% and 4.52%,
respectively, and the compounded effective yields on FedCash shares and T-Cash
shares would have been 4.84% and 4.62%, respectively; and the yields on FedCash
Dollar Shares and T-Cash Dollar Shares would have been 4.48% and 4.27%,
respectively, and the compounded effective yields on FedCash Dollar Shares and
T-Cash Dollar Shares would have been 4.58% and 4.36%.
For the 30-day period ended October 31, 1994, the yields on FedCash
and T-Cash shares were 4.82% and 4.68%, respectively, and the compounded
effective yields on FedCash and T-Cash were 4.94% and 4.79%, respectively; the
yields on FedCash Dollar Shares and T-Cash Dollar Shares were 4.57% and 4.43%,
respectively, and the compounded effective yields on FedCash Dollar Shares and
T-Cash Dollar Shares were 4.67% and 4.53%, respectively. During this 30-day
period, the Funds' adviser and administrator voluntarily waived a portion of
the advisory and administration fees payable by the Funds. Without these
waivers for the same period the yields on FedCash shares and T-Cash shares
would have been 4.65%
-22-
<PAGE> 157
and 4.49%, respectively, and the compounded effective yields on FedCash shares
and T-Cash shares would have been 4.76% and 4.59%, respectively; the yield on
FedCash Dollar Shares and T-Cash Dollar Shares would have been 4.40% and 4.24%,
respectively, and the compounded effective yields on FedCash Dollar Shares and
T-Cash Dollar shares would have been 4.50% and 4.33%, respectively.
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to
shareholders, the performance of the Funds may be quoted and compared to that
of other money market funds or accounts with similar investment objectives and
to stock or other relevant indices. For example, the yields of the Funds may
be compared to the Donoghue's Money Fund Average, which is an average compiled
by IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND REPORT(R) of Holliston, MA 01746, a widely
recognized independent publication that monitors the performance of money
market funds, or to the average yields reported by the Bank Rate Monitor from
money market deposit accounts offered by the 50 leading banks and thrift
institutions in the top five standard metropolitan statistical areas.
THE FUNDS' YIELDS WILL FLUCTUATE, AND ANY QUOTATION OF YIELD
SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF THE
FUNDS. Since yields fluctuate, yield data cannot necessarily be used to
compare an investment in the Funds' shares with bank deposits, savings
accounts, and similar investment alternatives which often provide an agreed or
guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. Shareholders should
remember that performance and yield are generally functions of kind and quality
of the investments held in a portfolio, portfolio maturity, operating expenses
net of waivers and expense reimbursements, and market conditions. Any fees
charged by Service Organizations or other institutional investors with respect
to customer accounts in investing in shares of the Funds will not be included
in calculations of yield and performance; such fees, if charged, would reduce
the actual performance and yield from that quoted.
ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING FUND SHARES
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings
of shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
Upon the written request of shareholders owning at least twenty percent of the
Company's shares, the Company will call for a meeting of shareholders to
consider the removal of one or more trustees and other certain matters. To the
extent required by law, the Company will assist in shareholder communication in
such matters.
-23-
<PAGE> 158
As stated in the Prospectuses for the Funds, holders of the
Company's FedCash and FedCash Dollar shares will vote in the aggregate and not
by class on all matters, except where otherwise required by law and except that
only FedCash Dollar shares will be entitled to vote on matters submitted to a
vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's arrangements with Service
Organizations. (See "Management of the Funds--Service Organizations.")
Holders of the Company's T-Cash and T-Cash Dollar shares will also vote in the
aggregate and not by class as described above. Further, shareholders of all of
the Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio except
as otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the
matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a
particular portfolio. Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides that any matter
required to be submitted by the provisions of such Act or applicable state law,
or otherwise, to the holders of the outstanding securities of an investment
company such as the Company shall not be deemed to have been effectively acted
upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
each portfolio affected by the matter. Rule 18f-2 further provides that a
portfolio shall be deemed to be affected by a matter unless it is clear that
the interests of each portfolio in the matter are identical or that the matter
does not affect any interest of the portfolio. Under the Rule the approval of
an investment advisory agreement or any change in a fundamental investment
policy would be effectively acted upon with respect to a portfolio only if
approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
such portfolio. However, the Rule also provides that the ratification of the
selection of independent accountants, the approval of principal underwriting
contracts and the election of trustees are not subject to the separate voting
requirements and may be effectively acted upon by shareholders of the
investment company voting without regard to portfolio.

SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY
The Company is organized as a "business trust" under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for
the obligations of the trust. The Declaration of Trust of the Company provides
that shareholders of the Funds shall not be subject to any personal liability
for the acts or obligations of the Company and that every note, bond, contract,
order or other undertaking made by the Company shall contain a provision to the
effect that the shareholders are not personally liable thereunder. The
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the trust property of
any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been
a shareholder and not because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.
The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Company shall, upon request,
assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the Company and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of
a shareholder's incurring financial loss beyond its investment on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Company itself
would be unable to meet its obligations.
The Company's Declaration of Trust provides further that no
trustee, officer or agent of the Company shall be personally liable for or on
account of any contract, debt, tort, claim, damage, judgment or decree arising
out of or connected with the administration or preservation of the trust estate
or the conduct of any business of the Company, nor shall any trustee be
personally liable to any person for any action or failure to act except by
reason of bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence in the performance
of any duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations and duties
as trustee. It also provides that all persons having any claim against the
trustees or the Company shall look solely to the trust property for payment.
With the exceptions stated, the Declaration of Trust provides that a trustee is
entitled to be indemnified against all liabilities and expenses reasonably

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Trust for Federal Securities:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the FedFund,
T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short
Government Fund Portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities (the "Fund") as of
October 31, 1994 and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and
Short Government Fund Portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities, as of October
31, 1994, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes
in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
A. Trust for Federal Securities (the Company) was established as a Pennsylvania
business trust under a Declaration of Trust originally dated as of May 14, 1975,
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Company consists of
seven separate portfolios, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund,
Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund. The Intermediate Government Fund
Portfolio was liquidated on October 31, 1994.
Each portfolio has two classes of shares, one class being referred to as
Dollar shares. Dollar shares and the other class of shares of each portfolio are
identical in all respects, except that Dollar shares are sold to institutions
(Service Organizations) which provide support services to their customers who
beneficially own such shares, in consideration of the Company's payment of 0.25%
(on an annualized basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Dollar
shares held by the institutions for the benefit of their customers. The Service
Organization fee is applicable only to the earnings of the respective Dollar
shares.
B. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security Valuation--FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and
Treasury Trust Fund:
Portfolio securities are valued under the amortized cost method which
approximates current market value. Under this method, securities are valued at
cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any
discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. Regular review
and monitoring of the valuation is performed in an attempt to avoid dilution or
other unfair results to shareholders. The Company seeks to maintain the net
asset value per share of each portfolio at $1.00.
Security Valuation--Short Government Fund:
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available (other
than debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at
the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices provided by
investment dealers. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued at their fair value in the best judgment of PNC
Institutional Management Corporation under procedures established by and under
the supervision of the Company's Board of Trustees. Debt securities with
remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis
(unless the Board determines that such basis does not represent fair value at
the time).
Repurchase Agreements--The Company may purchase, for any portfolio except
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund, money market instruments from
financial institutions, such as banks and non-bank dealers, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price.
Collateral for repurchase agreements may have longer maturities than the maximum
permissible remaining maturity of portfolio investments, provided the repurchase
agreements themselves mature in one year or less. The seller will be required on
a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement
at no less than the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements with maturities in
excess of seven days are subject to a seven day put feature.
Dividends to Shareholders--Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly.
Dividends payable are recorded on the dividend record date. Net income for
dividend purposes includes interest accrued and discount earned, less the
amortization of market premium and applicable expenses and, for the Money Market
Portfolios, includes net realized gains on portfolio securities. Short
Government Fund will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least
once a year.
FS-29
<PAGE> 192
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Federal Taxes--No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Company's
intention to have each portfolio continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will
be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and the
cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses not
directly attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among the portfolios
based on their relative net assets.
Costs incurred by FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
in connection with their organization, registration and the initial public
offering of shares have been deferred and are being amortized using the
straight-line method over a five-year period beginning on the date on which the
portfolios commenced their investment activities.
C. Under agreements among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (PNC Bank)
and PNC Institutional Management Corporation (PIMC), a wholly owned subsidiary
of PNC Bank, PIMC manages the Company's portfolios and maintains their financial
accounts. PNC Bank is the Company's sub-advisor and custodian and PFPC Inc.
(PFPC) is the Company's transfer agent.
As of January 31, 1994, Provident Distributors, Inc. (PDI) became the
Company's Distributor succeeding Pennsylvania Merchant Group Ltd. No
compensation is payable by the Company to PDI for its distribution services.
The Company has entered into an Administration Agreement with PFPC and PDI for
certain administrative services.
In return for their advisory and administrative services, the Company pays
PIMC and the administrators each a fee, computed daily and payable monthly,
based upon an annualized percentage of the average net assets of each portfolio
as follows:
FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
(on a combined basis)--.175% of the first $1 billion, .15% of the next $1
billion, .125% of the next $1 billion, .10% of the next $1 billion, .095% of the
next $1 billion, .09% of the next $1 billion, .085% of the next $1 billion and
.08% of net assets in excess of $7 billion.
Short Government Fund--.20% of average net assets.
If expenses borne by any portfolio in any fiscal year exceed the applicable
expense limitation imposed by state securities regulations, the administrators
and PIMC will each reimburse the portfolio for one-half of any excess expense up
to the amount of fees payable to it (except where such regulations require
reimbursement regardless of the fees payable to it).
The administrators and PIMC have also agreed to reduce their fees, on an equal
basis, to the extent necessary to ensure that the total operating expenses
(excluding Service Organization fees) of FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund,
and Treasury Trust Fund do not exceed .18% of their respective average net
assets for the 36-month period ending January 18, 1996, and with respect to
FedCash and T-Cash, .16%. For the year ended October 31, 1994, the
administrators and PIMC voluntarily agreed to reimburse, on an equal basis, for
expenses in the amount of $4,592 with respect to Short Government Fund. For the
year ended October 31, 1994, the administrators (or former administrator) and
PIMC waived, on an equal basis, a total of $1,615,628 of the administration and
advisory fees payable to them with respect to FedFund, $1,310,068 with respect
to T-Fund, $1,093,063 with respect to FedCash, $819,786 with respect to T-Cash,
$394,224 with
FS-30
<PAGE> 193
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
respect to Federal Trust Fund, $1,569,441 with respect to Treasury Trust Fund
and $25,713 with respect to Short Government Fund.
D. The Company's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to authorize the
issuance of an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial
interest (shares) in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued
shares into one or more additional classes of shares.
Transactions in shares of the Company are summarized as follows:

Trust for Federal Securities (the "Company") is a no-load, diversified,
open-end investment company that currently offers shares in seven separate
investment portfolios. The shares described in this Prospectus represent
interests in the Federal Trust Fund portfolio (the "Fund"), a money market
portfolio.
To the extent permissible by federal and state law, the Fund is structured
to provide shareholders with income that is exempt or excluded from taxation at
the state and local level. See "Taxes." The Fund is also designed to provide an
economical and convenient means for the investment of short-term funds held by
banks, trust companies, corporations, employee benefit plans and other
institutional investors. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek current
income with liquidity and security of principal. The Fund invests in those
obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S.
Government or by agencies or instrumentalities thereof the interest income from
which, under current law, generally may not be subject to state income tax by
reason of federal law.
Fund shares may not be purchased by individuals directly, but institutional
investors may purchase shares for accounts maintained by individuals. In
addition to Federal Trust shares, investors may purchase Federal Trust "Dollar"
shares which accrue daily dividends in the same manner as Federal Trust shares
but bear all fees payable by the Fund to institutional investors for certain
services they provide to the beneficial owners of such shares. (See "Management
of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
PNC Institutional Management Corporation ("PIMC") and PNC Bank, National
Association ("PNC Bank") serve as the Fund's adviser and sub-adviser,
respectively. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") and Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") serve
as the Fund's administrators. PDI also serves as the Fund's distributor.
------------------------
SHARES OF THE FUND ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF OR GUARANTEED, ENDORSED,
OR OTHERWISE SUPPORTED BY PNC BANK CORP. OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT
INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER
AGENCY. AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND INVOLVES INVESTMENT RISKS,
INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL. THERE CAN BE
NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS
NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.
------------------------
This Prospectus briefly sets forth certain information about the Fund that
investors should know before investing. Investors are advised to read this
Prospectus and retain it for future reference. Additional information about the
Fund, contained in a Statement of Additional Information currently dated
February 28, 1995, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and is available to investors without charge by calling the Fund at
800-821-7432. The Statement of Additional Information, as amended from time to
time, is incorporated in its entirety by reference into this Prospectus.

to institutional investors for services they provide to the beneficial owners of
such shares. (See "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")

You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000
investment, assuming (1) a 5% annual return and (2)
redemption at the end of each time period with
respect to the following shares:
Federal Trust shares: $2 $ 6 $10 $23
Federal Trust Dollar shares: $4 $14 $24 $54
</TABLE>
THE FOREGOING SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES OR RATE OF RETURN. ACTUAL EXPENSES AND RATE OF RETURN MAY BE GREATER OR
LESSER THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The purpose of the foregoing table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund will
bear directly or indirectly. In addition, institutional investors may charge
fees for providing shareholder administrative services in connection with their
customers' investment in Federal Trust Dollar shares. (For more complete
descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see "Management of the Fund" in
this Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.) The investment adviser and administrators have waived advisory and
administration fees or have reimbursed the Fund for some or all of its operating
expenses pursuant to an agreement that extends to January 18, 1996. The
foregoing table gives effect to this agreement. It is anticipated that they may
continue to do so on a voluntary basis thereafter. Absent fee waivers for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the estimated "Total Fund Operating
Expenses" for Federal Trust Shares and Federal Trust Dollar Shares would have
been .31% and .56%, respectively, of the average net assets of the Federal Trust
Fund portfolio. The foregoing table has not been audited by the Fund's
independent accountants.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
IN GENERAL
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The investment objective of the Fund is fundamental
and may not be changed without the approval of the holders of at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund invests in obligations
issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government or by
agencies or instrumentalities thereof the interest income from which, under
current law, generally may not be subject to state income tax by reason of
federal law, including securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and by certain
agencies or instrumentalities such as the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Farm
Credit Banks Funding Corp. and the Student Loan Marketing Association.
Shareholders in a particular state that imposes an income tax should determine
through consultation with their own tax advisors whether such interest income,
when distributed by the Fund, will be considered by the state to have retained
exempt status, and whether the Fund's capital gain and other income, if any,
when distributed will be subject to the state's income tax. See "Taxes." DUE TO
STATE INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS, THE FUND WILL NOT ENTER INTO REPURCHASE
AGREEMENTS.
Portfolio securities held by the Fund have remaining maturities of 397 days
(thirteen months) or less (with certain exceptions), subject to the quality,
diversification, and other requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and other rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain government securities
held by the Fund may have remaining maturities exceeding thirteen months if such
securities provide for adjustments in their interest rates not less frequently
than every thirteen months.
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if
held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market
value of such securities may vary during the period a shareholder owns shares of
the Fund. The Fund may from time to time engage in portfolio trading for
liquidity purposes, in order to enhance its yield or if otherwise deemed
advisable. In selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, the Fund may
realize a price higher or lower than that paid to acquire any given security,
depending upon whether interest rates have decreased or increased since its
acquisition. To the extent consistent with its investment objectives, the Fund
may invest in Treasury receipts and other "stripped" securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, where the principal and interest components
are traded independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and
Principal of Securities program ("STRIPS"). Under the STRIPS program, the
principal and interest components are individually numbered and separately
issued by the U.S. Treasury at the request of depository financial institutions,
which then trade the component parts independently. Currently, the Fund only
invests in "stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
which are registered under the STRIPS program.
The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield. The Fund will generally not pay for such
securities or start earning interest on them until they are received. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to
changes in value based upon changes in the general level of interest rates. The
Fund expects that
5
<PAGE> 204
commitments to purchase when-issued securities will not exceed 25% of the value
of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Fund does not intend
to purchase when-issued securities for speculative purposes but only in
furtherance of its investment objective.
SUITABILITY
The Fund is designed as an economical and convenient vehicle for those
institutional investors seeking to obtain current income with liquidity and
security of principal. The Fund is designed for banks and other institutions
seeking investment of monies held in accounts for which the institution acts in
a fiduciary, advisory, agency, custodial or other similar capacity. The Fund may
also be suitable for the investment of funds held or managed by corporations,
employee benefit plans, insurance companies, unions, hospitals, investment
counselors, professional firms, educational, religious and charitable
organizations, investment bankers, brokers, and others, if consistent with the
objectives of the particular account and any applicable state and federal laws
and regulations.
The Fund offers the advantage of diversification and economies of scale,
thereby avoiding the generally greater expense of executing a large number of
small transactions. Moreover, investment in the Fund relieves the investor of
many management and administrative burdens associated with the direct purchase
and sale of income obligations. These include the selection of investments;
surveying the market for the best terms at which to buy and sell; receipt,
delivery and safekeeping of securities; and recordkeeping.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's investment policies described above may be changed by the
Company's Board of Trustees without a vote of shareholders. The Fund's
investment objective and investment limitations summarized below may not be
changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of its
outstanding shares. (A complete list of the investment limitations that cannot
be changed without a vote of shareholders is contained in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Investment Objectives and Policies.")
The Fund may not:
1. Purchase securities other than obligations issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
2. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and then in
an amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets, or
mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets except in connection with any
such borrowing and in amounts not in excess of the lesser of the dollar
amounts borrowed or 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time
of such borrowing.
3. Make loans except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt
obligations in accordance with its investment objective and policies.

<PAGE> 205
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Fund shares are sold at the net asset value per share next determined after
receipt of a purchase order by PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent. Purchase orders
for shares are accepted by the Fund only on days on which both the New York
Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia are open for
business (a "Business Day") and must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington,
Delaware, by telephone (800-441-7450; in Delaware: 302-791-5350); or through the
Fund's computer access program. Orders received before 12:00 noon, Eastern time,
for which payment has been received by PNC Bank, the Fund's custodian, will be
executed at 12:00 noon. Orders received after 12:00 noon and before 2:30 P.M.,
Eastern time, (or orders received earlier in the same day for which payment has
not been received by 12:00 noon) will be executed at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, if
payment has been received by PNC Bank by that time. Orders received at other
times, and orders for which payment has not been received by 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, will not be accepted, and notice thereof will be given to the institution
placing the order. (Payment for orders which are not received or accepted will
be returned after prompt inquiry to the sending institution.) The Fund may in
its discretion reject any order for shares.
Payment for Fund shares may be made only in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to PNC Bank. The minimum initial investment by an
institution is $5,000; however, broker-dealers and other institutional investors
may set a higher minimum for their customers. There is no minimum subsequent
investment.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an institution's receipt of
compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that are invested in Dollar
shares. (See also "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
Institutions, including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and
investment advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the
SEC, the Department of Labor or state securities commissions, should consult
their legal advisors before investing fiduciary funds in Dollar shares. (See
also "Management of the Fund--Banking Laws.")
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Redemption orders must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware in
the manner described under "Purchase Procedures." Shares are redeemed at the net
asset value per share next determined after PFPC's receipt of the redemption
order. While the Fund intends to use its best efforts to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00, the proceeds paid to a shareholder upon redemption may
be more or less than the amount invested depending upon a share's net asset
value at the time of redemption.
Payment for redeemed shares for which a redemption order is received by
PFPC before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day is normally made in
federal funds wired to the redeeming shareholder on the same day. A shareholder
of record located in the Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone may receive
redemption proceeds wired the same day in federal funds to a destination within
such time zone if its redemption order is received before 2:30 P.M., Eastern
time, or 1:30 P.M., Eastern time, respectively. Payment for other redemption
orders which are received between 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, or on
a day when PNC Bank is closed, is
7
<PAGE> 206
normally wired in federal funds on the next day following redemption that PNC
Bank is open for business.
The Fund shall have the right to redeem shares in any account if the value
of the account is less than $1,000 after sixty-days' prior written notice to the
shareholder. Any such redemption shall be effected at the net asset value per
share next determined after the redemption order is entered. If during the sixty
day period the shareholder increases the value of its account to $1,000 or more,
no such redemption shall take place. In addition, the Fund may redeem shares
involuntarily or suspend the right of redemption under certain special
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information."
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined by PIMC as of 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, on each day (on which both the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and
the New York Stock Exchange are open for business). Currently, one or both of
these institutions are closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (observed). The net asset value per share of each class of the
Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets
belonging to the Fund, subtracting liabilities attributable to each class and
dividing the result by the total number of the outstanding shares of each class.
In computing net asset value, the Fund uses the amortized cost method of
valuation as described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information." The Fund's net asset value per
share for purposes of pricing purchase and redemption orders is determined
independently of the net asset values of the shares of the Company's other
investment portfolios.
Fund shares are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Institutional
investors purchasing or holding Fund shares for their customer accounts may
charge customers fees for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts. A customer should, therefore, consider the terms
of its account with an institution before purchasing Fund shares. An institution
purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf of its customers is responsible for
transmitting orders to the Fund in accordance with its customer agreements.

dollar-denominated constant net asset value fund--offered in the United States.
The PNC Financial Services Group is one of the largest U.S. bank managers
of mutual funds with assets currently under management in excess of $30 billion.
This group, through PFPC and PFPC International Ltd., is also a leading mutual
fund service provider having contractual
9
<PAGE> 208
relationships with approximately 400 mutual funds with 3.5 million shareholders
and in excess of $106 billion in assets. This group, through its PNC
Institutional Investment Service, provides investment research to some 250
financial institutions located in the United States and abroad. PNC Bank
provides custodial services for approximately $217 billion in assets, including
$106 billion in mutual fund assets.
As adviser, PIMC manages the Fund's portfolio and is responsible for all
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. PIMC also maintains the
Fund's financial accounts and records and computes the Fund's net asset value
and net income. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on
the combined average net assets of the Fund, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash
and Treasury Trust Fund. The advisory fee is allocated among these Funds in
proportion to their relative net assets. PIMC and the administrators have agreed
to reduce the advisory and administration fees otherwise payable to them and to
reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure
that its operating expense ratio (excluding fees paid to Service Organizations
pursuant to Servicing Agreements) does not exceed .18% of the Fund's average net
assets. After January 18, 1996, PIMC and the administrators may terminate this
agreement to reduce fees and limit expenses on 120-days' written notice to the
Fund. Any fees waived or expenses reimbursed by PIMC or the administrators with
respect to a particular fiscal year are not recoverable. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1994, the Fund paid advisory fees aggregating .06% of the
Fund's average net assets. Absent fee waivers, advisory fees would have been
.13% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
As sub-adviser, PNC Bank provides research, credit analysis and
recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments, and supplies PIMC with
certain computer facilities, personnel and other services. For its sub-advisory
and other services, PNC Bank is entitled to receive from PIMC an amount equal to
75% of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to PIMC (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances). The sub-advisory fees paid by PIMC to PNC Bank have no
effect on the advisory fees payable by the Fund to PIMC. PNC Bank also serves as
the Fund's custodian. The services provided by PNC Bank and PIMC and the fees
payable by the Fund for these services are described in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Management of the Funds."
ADMINISTRATORS
PFPC whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,
Delaware 19809, and PDI, whose principal business address is 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, serve as co-administrators. PFPC is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. A majority of the
outstanding stock of PDI is owned by its officers. The administrative services
provided by the administrators, which are described more fully in the Statement
of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds," include providing and
supervising the operation of an automated data processing system to process
purchase and redemption orders; assisting in maintaining the Fund's Wilmington,
Delaware office; performing administrative services in connection with the
Fund's computer access program maintained to facilitate shareholder access to
the Fund; accumulating information for and coordinating the preparation of
reports to the Fund's shareholders and the Securities and Exchange Commission;
and maintaining the registration or qualification of the Fund's shares for sale
under state securities laws.
10
<PAGE> 209
For their administrative services, the administrators are entitled jointly
to receive a fee computed daily and payable monthly, determined in the same
manner as PIMC's advisory fee described above. (For information regarding the
administrators' obligations to waive administrative fees otherwise payable to
them and to reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, see "Investment Adviser
and Sub-Adviser" above.) The Fund also reimburses each administrator for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Funds'
computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid PFPC and PDI administration fees aggregating .06% of its average net
assets. Absent fee waivers, administration fees would have been .13% of the
Fund's average net assets.
PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing
agent. The transfer agent's address is P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware
19885-9628. The services provided by PFPC and PDI and the fees payable by the
Fund for these services are described in the Statement of Additional Information
under "Management of the Funds."
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Its principal offices are
located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Fund
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent. The
distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons
who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding preparation and printing
expenses necessary for the continued registration of the Fund's shares) and of
printing and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by
the Fund to the distributor for its distribution services.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
Institutional investors, such as banks, savings and loan associations and
other financial institutions, including affiliates of PNC Bank Corp. ("Service
Organizations") may purchase Dollar shares. Federal Trust Dollar shares are
identical in all respects to the Company's Federal Trust shares except that they
bear the service fees described below and enjoy certain exclusive voting rights
on matters relating to these fees. The Fund will enter into an agreement with
each Service Organization which purchases Dollar shares requiring it to provide
support services to its customers who are the beneficial owners of such shares
in consideration of the Fund's payment of .25% (on an annualized basis) of the
average daily net assets of the Dollar shares held by the Service Organization
for the benefit of customers. Such services, which are described more fully in
the Statement of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds--Service
Organizations," include aggregating and processing purchase and redemption
requests from customers and placing net purchase and redemption orders with
PFPC; processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of customers;
providing information periodically to customers showing their positions in
Dollar shares; and providing sub-accounting or the information necessary for
sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares beneficially owned by customers.
Under the terms of the agreements, Service Organizations are required to provide
to their customers a schedule of any fees that they may charge to the customers
relating to the investment of the customers' assets in Dollar shares. Federal
Trust shares are sold to institutions that have not entered into servicing
agreements with the Fund in connection with their investments.
11
<PAGE> 210
EXPENSES
Except as noted above and in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Funds--Custodian and Transfer Agent," the Fund's service
contractors bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their
services. Similarly, the Fund bears the expenses incurred in its operations. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund's total expenses with respect
to Federal Trust shares and Federal Trust Dollar shares were .18% and .43% (net
of fee waivers of .13% and .13%, respectively) of the average net assets of the
Federal Trust shares and Federal Trust Dollar shares, respectively. With regard
to fees paid exclusively by Dollar shares, see "Service Organizations" above.
BANKING LAWS
Banking laws and regulations presently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company engaged continuously in the issuance of
its shares, and prohibit banks generally from issuing, underwriting, selling or
distributing securities such as Fund shares. Such banking laws and regulations
do not prohibit such a holding company or affiliate or banks generally from
acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such an investment
company, or from purchasing shares of such a company for or upon the order of
customers. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC, as well as some Service Organizations, are
subject to such banking laws and regulations, but believe they may perform the
services for the Fund contemplated by their respective agreements, this
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information without violating applicable
banking laws or regulations.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of bank Service Organizations in connection with the
provision of support services to their customers, the Fund might be required to
alter or discontinue its arrangements with Service Organizations and change its
method of operations with respect to Dollar shares. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Fund's method of operations would affect its net
asset value per share or result in a financial loss to any customer.
DIVIDENDS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to dividends and distributions
arising only from the net investment income and capital gains, if any, earned on
its investments. The Fund's net investment income is declared daily as a
dividend to its shareholders of record at the close of business on the day of
declaration. Shares begin accruing dividends on the day the purchase order for
the shares is executed and continue to accrue dividends through, and including,
the day before the redemption order for the shares is executed. Dividends are
paid monthly by check, or by wire transfer if requested in writing by the
shareholder, within five business days after the end of the month or within five
business days after a redemption of all of a shareholder's shares of a
particular class. The Fund does not expect to realize net long-term capital
gains.
Dividends are determined in the same manner for each share of the Fund.
Dollar shares bear all the expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. As a
result, at any given time, the net yield on Federal Trust Dollar shares is
approximately .25% lower than the net yield on Federal Trust shares.
12
<PAGE> 211
Institutional shareholders may elect to have their dividends reinvested in
additional full and fractional shares of the same class of shares with respect
to which such dividends are declared at the net asset value of such shares on
the payment date. Reinvested dividends receive the same tax treatment as
dividends paid in cash. Such election, or any revocation thereof, must be made
in writing to PFPC at P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware 19885-9628, and will
become effective after its receipt by PFPC with respect to dividends paid.
PFPC, as transfer agent, will send each Fund shareholder or its authorized
representative an annual statement designating the amount, if any, of any
dividends and distributions made during each year and their federal tax
qualification.
TAXES
The Fund qualified in its last taxable year and intends to qualify in
future years as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A regulated investment company is generally
exempt from federal income tax on amounts distributed to its shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that the Fund distribute to its
shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for such
year. In general, the Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income (including interest and short-term capital gains, if any),
subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net long-term
capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss, if any,
for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
investment company taxable income each year. Such distributions will be taxable
as ordinary income to the Fund's shareholders that are not currently exempt from
federal income taxes, whether such income is received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares. (Federal income taxes for distributions to an IRA or a
qualified retirement plan are deferred under the Code.) It is anticipated that
none of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the dividends received
deduction for corporations. The Fund does not expect to realize long-term
capital gains and therefore does not expect to distribute any "capital gain
dividends", as described in the Code.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be deemed to have
been received by the shareholders and paid by the Fund on December 31 of such
year, in the event such dividends are actually paid during January of the
following year.
TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY FEDERAL AND STATE LAW, THE FUND IS STRUCTURED
TO PROVIDE SHAREHOLDERS WITH INCOME THAT IS EXEMPT OR EXCLUDED FROM TAXATION AT
THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL. SUBSTANTIALLY ALL DIVIDENDS PAID TO SHAREHOLDERS
RESIDING IN CERTAIN STATES WILL BE EXEMPT OR EXCLUDED FROM STATE INCOME TAX.
MANY STATES, BY STATUTE, JUDICIAL DECISION OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION, HAVE TAKEN
THE POSITION THAT DIVIDENDS OF A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY SUCH AS THE FUND
THAT ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO INTEREST ON OBLIGATIONS OF THE U.S. TREASURY AND
CERTAIN U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND INSTRUMENTALITIES ARE THE FUNCTIONAL
EQUIVALENT OF INTEREST FROM SUCH OBLIGATIONS AND ARE, THEREFORE, EXEMPT FROM
STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAXES. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE APPLICATION OF
THEIR STATE AND LOCAL TAX LAWS TO INVESTMENTS IN THE FUND.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. As indicated
above, IRAs receive special tax
13
<PAGE> 212
treatment. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the federal,
state or local income tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders, and this
discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
Accordingly, potential investors in the Fund should consult their tax advisors
with specific reference to their own tax situations.
YIELDS
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
"yields" and "effective yields" for Federal Trust shares and Federal Trust
Dollar shares may be quoted. Yield quotations are computed for Federal Trust
shares separately from those for Federal Trust Dollar shares. The "yield" quoted
in advertisements for a particular class or sub-class of Fund shares refers to
the income generated by an investment in such shares over a specified period
(such as a seven-day period) identified in the advertisement. This income is
then "annualized." That is, the amount of income generated by the investment
during that period is assumed to be generated for each such period over a
52-week or one-year period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The
"effective yield" is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income
earned by an investment in a particular class or sub-class of shares is assumed
to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield"
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The Fund's yields may be compared to those of other mutual funds with
similar objectives, to stock or other relevant indices, or to rankings prepared
by independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor
the performance of mutual funds. For example, such data are reported in national
financial publications such as IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R), The Wall
Street Journal, and The New York Times, reports prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., and publications of a local or regional nature.
The Fund's yield figures for Federal Trust Fund shares and Federal Trust
Fund Dollar shares represent the Fund's past performance, will fluctuate, and
should not be considered as representative of future results. The yield of any
investment is generally a function of portfolio quality and maturity, type of
investment and operating expenses. Any fees charged by Service Organization or
other institutional investors directly to their customers in connection with
investments in Fund shares are not reflected in the Fund's yield calculations;
and, such fees, if charged, would reduce the actual return received by customers
on their investments. The methods used to compute the Fund's yields are
described in more detail in the Statement of Additional Information. Investors
may call 800-821-6006 (Federal Trust shares code: 11; Federal Trust Dollar
shares code: 12) to obtain current-yield information.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND MISCELLANEOUS
The Company is a Pennsylvania business trust established on May 14, 1975.
Effective March 2, 1987, the Company's name was changed from Trust for
Short-Term Federal Securities to Trust for Federal Securities. The Company
commenced operations of the Fund in December, 1990.
The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares into one or
more additional classes of shares. Pursuant to such authority, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the issuance of fourteen classes of shares designated as
Federal Trust, Federal Trust Dollar, FedFund, FedFund Dollar, T-Fund, T-Fund
14
<PAGE> 213
Dollar, FedCash, FedCash Dollar, T-Cash, T-Cash Dollar, Treasury Trust, Treasury
Trust Dollar, Short Government and Short Government Dollar. The Declaration of
Trust further authorizes the trustees to classify or reclassify any class of
shares into one or more sub-classes.
THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCORPORATED
HEREIN RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUND AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE FUND.
INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S FEDFUND,
T-FUND, FEDCASH, T-CASH, TREASURY TRUST FUND AND SHORT GOVERNMENT FUND
PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THESE PORTFOLIOS BY
CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Company will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a member of the Board of Trustees upon written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company
entitled to vote.
Each Federal Trust share and Federal Trust Dollar share represents an equal
proportionate interest in the assets belonging to the Fund. Each share is
without par value and has no preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for
payment as described in this Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
Holders of the Company's Federal Trust shares and Federal Trust Dollar
shares will vote in the aggregate and not by class or sub-class on all matters,
except where otherwise required by law and except that only Federal Trust Dollar
shares will be entitled to vote on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders
pertaining to the Fund's arrangements with Service Organizations. Further,
shareholders of all of the Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and
not by portfolio except as otherwise required by law or when the Board of
Trustees determines that the matter to be voted upon affects only the interests
of the shareholders of a particular portfolio. (See the Statement of Additional
Information under "Additional Description Concerning Fund Shares" for examples
where the 1940 Act requires voting by portfolio.) Shareholders of the Company
are entitled to one vote for each full share held (irrespective of class,
sub-class, or portfolio) and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting
rights are not cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the
aggregate shares of the Company may elect all of the trustees.
For information concerning the redemption of Fund shares and possible
restrictions on their transferability, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares."
As stated above, the Company is organized as a trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for the
obligations of the trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not
because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.

Trust for Federal Securities (the "Company") is a no-load, diversified,
open-end investment company that currently offers shares in seven separate
investment portfolios. The shares described in this Prospectus represent
interests in the Treasury Trust Fund portfolio (the "Fund"), a money market
portfolio.
To the extent permissible by federal and state law, the Fund is structured
to provide shareholders with income that is exempt or excluded from taxation at
the state and local level. See "Taxes." The Fund is also designed to provide an
economical and convenient means for the investment of short-term funds held by
banks, trust companies, corporations, employee benefit plans and other
institutional investors. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek current
income with liquidity and security of principal. The Fund invests solely in U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.
Fund shares may not be purchased by individuals directly, but institutional
investors may purchase shares for accounts maintained by individuals. In
addition to Treasury Trust shares, investors may purchase Treasury Trust
"Dollar" shares which accrue daily dividends in the same manner as Treasury
Trust shares but bear all fees payable by the Fund to institutional investors
for certain services they provide to the beneficial owners of such shares. (See
"Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
PNC Institutional Management Corporation ("PIMC") and PNC Bank, National
Association ("PNC Bank") serve as the Fund's adviser and sub-adviser,
respectively. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") and Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") serve
as the Fund's administrators. PDI also serves as the Fund's distributor.
------------------------
SHARES OF THE FUND ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF OR GUARANTEED, ENDORSED,
OR OTHERWISE SUPPORTED BY PNC BANK CORP. OR ITS AFFILIATES, OR THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT
INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER
AGENCY. AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND INVOLVES INVESTMENT RISKS,
INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL. THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITS NET ASSET
VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE.

This Prospectus briefly sets forth certain information about the Fund that

BACKGROUND AND EXPENSE INFORMATION
Two classes of shares are offered by this Prospectus: Treasury Trust shares
and Treasury Trust Dollar shares. Shares of each class represent equal, pro rata
interests in the Fund and accrue daily dividends in the same manner except that
the Dollar shares bear fees payable by the Fund (at the rate of .25% per annum)
to institutional investors for services they provide to the beneficial owners of
such shares. (See "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")

You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000
investment, assuming (1) a 5% annual return and (2)
redemption at the end of each time period with
respect to the following shares:
Treasury Trust shares: $2 $ 6 $10 $23
Treasury Trust Dollar shares: $4 $14 $24 $54
</TABLE>
THE FOREGOING SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES OR RATE OF RETURN. ACTUAL EXPENSES AND RATE OF RETURN MAY BE GREATER OR
LESSER THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The purpose of the foregoing table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund will
bear directly or indirectly. In addition, institutional investors may charge
fees for providing shareholder administrative services in connection with their
customers' investment in Treasury Trust Dollar Shares. (For more complete
descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see "Management of the Fund" in
this Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.) The investment adviser and administrators have waived advisory and
administration fees or have reimbursed the Fund for some or all of its operating
expenses pursuant to an agreement that extends to January 18, 1996. The
foregoing table gives effect to this agreement. It is anticipated that they may
continue to do so on a voluntary basis thereafter. Absent fee waivers for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the estimated "Total Fund Operating
Expenses" for Treasury Trust Shares and Treasury Trust Dollar Shares would have
been .29% and .54% respectively, of the average net assets of the Treasury Trust
Fund portfolio. The foregoing table has not been audited by the Fund's
independent accountants.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following financial highlights for Treasury Trust Fund Shares have been

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
IN GENERAL
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The Fund invests solely in direct obligations of the
U.S. Treasury, such as Treasury bills and notes. The Fund does not enter into
repurchase agreements nor does the Fund purchase obligations of agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. Because the Fund invests exclusively
in direct U.S. Treasury obligations, investors may benefit from income tax
exclusions or exemptions that are available in certain states and localities.
See "Taxes." As a fundamental policy, the Fund will invest only in those
instruments which will permit Fund shares to qualify as "short-term liquid
assets" for federally regulated thrifts.
Portfolio securities held by the Fund have remaining maturities of one year
or less (with certain exceptions), subject to the quality, diversification, and
other requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act") and other rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). Certain government securities held by the Fund may have
remaining maturities exceeding one year if such securities provide for
adjustments in their interest rates not less frequently than annually.
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government have historically
involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to
fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary
during the period a shareholder owns shares of the Fund. The Fund may from time
to time engage in portfolio trading for liquidity purposes, in order to enhance
its yield or if otherwise deemed advisable. In selling portfolio securities
prior to maturity, the Fund may realize a price higher or lower than that paid
to acquire any given security, depending upon whether interest rates have
decreased or increased since its acquisition. To the extent consistent with its
investment objectives, the Fund may invest in Treasury receipts and other
"stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, where the
principal and interest components are traded independently under the Separate
Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities program ("STRIPS").
Under the STRIPS program, the principal and interest components are individually
numbered and separately issued by the U.S. Treasury at the request of depository
financial institutions, which then trade the component parts independently.
Currently, the Fund only invests in "stripped" securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government which are registered under the STRIPS program.
The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield. The Fund will generally not pay for such
securities or start earning interest on them until they are received. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to
changes in value based upon changes in the general level of interest rates. The
Fund expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities will not exceed
25% of the value of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Fund
does not intend to purchase when-issued securities for speculative purposes but
only in furtherance of its investment objective.
SUITABILITY
The Fund is designed as an economical and convenient vehicle for those
institutional investors seeking to obtain current income with liquidity and
security of principal. The Fund is
5
<PAGE> 221
designed for banks and other institutions seeking investment of monies held in
accounts for which the institution acts in a fiduciary, advisory, agency,
custodial or other similar capacity. The Fund may also be suitable for the
investment of funds held or managed by corporations, employee benefit plans,
insurance companies, unions, hospitals, investment counselors, professional
firms, educational, religious and charitable organizations, investment bankers,
brokers, and others, if consistent with the objectives of the particular account
and any applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
The Fund offers the advantage of diversification and economies of scale,
thereby avoiding the generally greater expense of executing a large number of
small transactions. Moreover, investment in the Fund relieves the investor of
many management and administrative burdens associated with the direct purchase
and sale of income obligations. These include the selection of investments;
surveying the market for the best terms at which to buy and sell; receipt,
delivery and safekeeping of securities; and recordkeeping.
The Fund's investment policies are intended to qualify Fund shares for the
investment of funds of federally regulated thrifts. The Fund intends to qualify
its shares as "short-term liquid assets" as established in the published
rulings, interpretations, and regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision.
However, investing institutions are advised to consult their primary regulator
for concurrence that Fund shares qualify under applicable regulations and
policies.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's investment objective described above is not fundamental and may
be changed by the Company's Board of Trustees without a vote of shareholders. If
there is a change in the investment objective, shareholders should consider
whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment in light of their then
current financial position and needs. The Fund's investment limitations
summarized below may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of its outstanding shares. (A complete list of the investment
limitations that cannot be changed without a vote of shareholders is contained
in the Statement of Additional Information under "Investment Objectives and
Policies.")
The Fund may not:
1. Purchase securities other than direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury
such as Treasury bills and notes which will permit Fund shares to qualify as
"short-term liquid assets" for federally regulated thrifts.
2. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and then in an
amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets, or mortgage,
pledge or hypothecate its assets except in connection with any such borrowing
and in amounts not in excess of the lesser of the dollar amounts borrowed or 10%
of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time of such borrowing.
3. Make loans except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt obligations in
accordance with its investment objective and policies.

<PAGE> 222
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Fund shares are sold at the net asset value per share next determined after
receipt of a purchase order by PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent. Purchase orders
for shares are accepted by the Fund only on days on which both the New York
Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, are open for
business (a "Business Day") and must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington,
Delaware, by telephone (800-441-7450; in Delaware: 302-791-5350); or through the
Fund's computer access program. Orders received before 12:00 noon, Eastern time,
for which payment has been received by PNC Bank, the Fund's custodian, will be
executed at 12:00 noon. Orders received after 12:00 noon and before 2:30 P.M.,
Eastern time, (or orders received earlier in the same day for which payment has
not been received by 12:00 noon) will be executed at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, if
payment has been received by PNC Bank by that time. Orders received at other
times, and orders for which payment has not been received by 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, will not be accepted, and notice thereof will be given to the institution
placing the order. (Payment for orders which are not received or accepted will
be returned after prompt inquiry to the sending institution.) The Fund may in
its discretion reject any order for shares.
Payment for Fund shares may be made only in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to PNC Bank. The minimum initial investment by an
institution is $5,000; however, broker-dealers and other institutional investors
may set a higher minimum for their customers. There is no minimum subsequent
investment.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an institution's receipt of
compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that are invested in Dollar
shares. (See also "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
Institutions, including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and
investment advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the
SEC, the Department of Labor or state securities commissions, should consult
their legal advisors before investing fiduciary funds in Dollar shares. (See
also "Management of the Fund--Banking Laws.")
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Redemption orders must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware, in
the manner described under "Purchase Procedures." Shares are redeemed at the net
asset value per share next determined after PFPC receipt of the redemption
order. While the Fund intends to use its best efforts to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00, the proceeds paid to a shareholder upon redemption may
be more or less than the amount invested depending upon a share's net asset
value at the time of redemption.
Payment for redeemed shares for which a redemption order is received by
PFPC before 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day is normally made in
Federal funds wired to the redeeming shareholder on the same business day. A
shareholder of record located in the Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone may
receive redemption proceeds wired the same day in federal funds to a destination
within such time zone if its redemption order is received before 2:30 P.M.,
Eastern time, or 1:30 P.M., Eastern time, respectively. Payment for other
redemption orders which are received between 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, or on a day when PNC
7
<PAGE> 223
Bank is closed, is normally wired in federal funds on the next day following
redemption that PNC Bank is open for business.
The Fund shall have the right to redeem shares in any account if the value
of the account is less than $1,000 after sixty-days' prior written notice to the
shareholder. Any such redemption shall be effected at the net asset value per
share next determined after the redemption order is entered. If during the sixty
day period the shareholder increases the value of its account to $1,000 or more,
no such redemption shall take place. In addition, the Fund may redeem shares
involuntarily or suspend the right of redemption under certain special
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information."
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined by PIMC as of 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, on each day on which both the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the
New York Stock Exchange are open for business. Currently, one or both of these
institutions are closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (observed). The net asset value per share of each class of the
Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets
belonging to the Fund, subtracting liabilities attributable to each class and
dividing the result by the total number of the outstanding shares of each class.
In computing net asset value, the Fund uses the amortized cost method of
valuation as described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information." The Fund's net asset value per
share for purposes of pricing purchase and redemption orders is determined
independently of the net asset values of the shares of the Company's other
investment portfolios.
Fund shares are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Institutional
investors purchasing or holding Fund shares for their customer accounts may
charge customers fees for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts. A customer should, therefore, consider the terms
of its account with an institution before purchasing Fund shares. An institution
purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf of its customers is responsible for
transmitting orders to the Fund in accordance with its customer agreements.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER
PIMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Asset-Management Group, Inc., which
is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, serves as the Fund's
investment adviser. PIMC was organized in 1977 by PNC Bank to perform advisory
services for investment companies and has its principal offices at Bellevue Park
Corporate Center, 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809. PNC Asset
Management Group, Inc.'s principal business address is 1835 Market Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102. PNC Bank serves as the Fund's sub-adviser. PNC
Bank is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. and its principal
business address is Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102. PNC Bank Corp. is a multi-bank holding company. PIMC and PNC Bank also
serve as adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to the Company's FedFund,
T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Short Government Fund
Portfolios.
PNC Bank Corp., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the eleventh
largest bank holding company in the United States. Categorized as a super
regional bank holding company, PNC Bank Corp. operates over 500 branch offices
in six U.S. states.
PNC Bank's Investment Management and Trust Division, headquartered in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, traces its money management services to individuals
and institutions to the year 1847, and is the second largest bank manager of
investments for individuals in the U.S. with $28 billion in discretionary trust
assets under management.
PNC Financial Services Group is PNC Bank Corp.'s mutual fund complex,
headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. This group includes PIMC, PFPC and PNC
Bank. In 1973, Provident National Bank (predecessor to PNC Bank) commenced
advising the first institutional money market mutual fund - a U.S.
dollar-denominated constant net asset value fund - offered in the United States.
The PNC Financial Services Group is one of the largest U.S. bank managers
of mutual funds with assets currently under management in excess of $30 billion.
This group, through PFPC and PFPC International Ltd, is also a leading mutual
fund service provider having contractual relationships with approximately 400
mutual funds with 3.5 million shareholders and in excess of
9
<PAGE> 225
$106 billion in assets. This group, through its PNC Institutional Investment
Service, provides investment research to some 250 financial institutions located
in the United States and abroad. PNC Bank provides custodial services for
approximately $217 billion in assets, including $106 billion in mutual fund
assets.
As adviser, PIMC manages the Fund's portfolio and is responsible for all
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. PIMC also maintains the
Fund's financial accounts and records and computes the Fund's net asset value
and net income. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on
the combined average net assets of the Fund, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash
and Federal Trust Fund. The advisory fee is allocated among these Funds in
proportion to their relative net assets. PIMC and the administrators have agreed
to reduce the advisory and administration fees otherwise payable to them and to
reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure
that its operating expense ratio (excluding fees paid to Service Organizations
pursuant to Servicing Agreements) does not exceed .18% of the Fund's average net
assets. After January 18, 1996, PIMC and the administrators may terminate this
agreement to reduce fees and limit expenses on 120-days' written notice to the
Fund. Any fees waived or expenses reimbursed by PIMC and the administrators with
respect to a particular fiscal year are not recoverable. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1994, the Fund paid investment advisory fees aggregating .07%
of its average net assets. For the same period, absent fee waivers, advisory
fees would have been .13% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
As sub-adviser, PNC Bank provides research, credit analysis and
recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments, and supplies PIMC with
certain computer facilities, personnel and other services. For its sub-advisory
and other services, PNC Bank is entitled to receive from PIMC an amount equal to
75% of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to PIMC (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances). The sub-advisory fees paid by PIMC to PNC Bank have no
effect on the advisory fees payable by the Fund to PIMC. PNC Bank also serves as
the Fund's custodian. The services provided by PNC Bank and PIMC and the fees
payable by the Fund for these services are described in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Management of the Funds."
ADMINISTRATORS
PFPC, whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,
Delaware 19809, and PDI whose principal business address is 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, serve as co-administrators. PFPC is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. A majority of the
outstanding stock of PDI is owned by its officers. The administrative services
provided by the administrators, which are described more fully in the Statement
of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds," include providing and
supervising the operation of an automated data processing system to process
purchase and redemption orders; assisting in maintaining the Fund's Wilmington,
Delaware office; performing administrative services in connection with the
Fund's computer access program maintained to facilitate shareholder access to
the Fund; accumulating information for and coordinating the preparation of
reports to the Fund's shareholders and the Securities and Exchange Commission;
and maintaining the registration or qualification of the Fund's shares for sale
under state securities laws.
10
<PAGE> 226
For their administrative services, the administrators are entitled jointly
to receive a fee computed daily and payable monthly, determined in the same
manner as PIMC's advisory fee described above. (For information regarding the
administrators' obligations to waive administrative fees otherwise payable to
them and to reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, see "Investment Adviser
and Sub-Adviser" above.) The Fund also reimburses each administrator for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Funds'
computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid PFPC and PDI administration fees aggregating .07% of its average net
assets. Absent fee waivers, administration fees would have been .13% of the
Fund's average net assets.
PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing
agent. The transfer agent's address is P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington Delaware
19885-9628. The services provided by PFPC and PDI and the fees payable by the
Fund for these services are described in the Statement of Additional Information
under "Management of the Funds."
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Its principal offices are
located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Fund
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent. The
distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons
who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding preparation and printing
expenses necessary for the continued registration of the Fund's shares) and of
printing and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by
the Fund to the distributor for its distribution services.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
Institutional investors, such as banks, savings and loan associations and
other financial institutions, including affiliates of PNC Bank Corp. ("Service
Organizations"), may purchase Dollar shares. Treasury Trust Dollar shares are
identical in all respects to the Company's Treasury Trust shares except that
they bear the service fees described below and enjoy certain exclusive voting
rights on matters relating to these fees. The Fund will enter into an agreement
with each Service Organization which purchases Dollar shares requiring it to
provide support services to its customers who are the beneficial owners of such
shares in consideration of the Fund's payment of .25% (on an annualized basis)
of the average daily net assets of the Dollar shares held by the Service
Organization for the benefit of customers. Such services, which are described
more fully in the Statement of Additional Information under "Management of the
Fund-Service Organizations," include aggregating and processing purchase and
redemption requests from customers and placing net purchase and redemption
orders with PFPC; processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of
customers; providing information periodically to customers showing their
positions in Dollar shares; and providing sub-accounting or the information
necessary for sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares beneficially owned by
customers. Under the terms of the agreements, Service Organizations are required
to provide to their customers a schedule of any fees that they may charge to the
customers relating to the investment of the customers' assets in Dollar shares.
Treasury Trust shares are sold to institutions that have not entered into
servicing agreements with the Fund in connection with their investments.
11
<PAGE> 227
EXPENSES
Except as noted above and in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Fund -- Custodian and Transfer Agent," the Fund's service
contractors bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their
services. Similarly, the Fund bears the expenses incurred in its operations. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund's total expenses with respect
to Treasury Trust shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares were .18% and .43%
(net of fee waivers of .11% and .11%, respectively) of the average net assets of
the Treasury Trust shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares, respectively. With
regard to fees paid exclusively by Dollar shares, see "Service Organizations"
above.
BANKING LAWS
Banking laws and regulations presently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company engaged continuously in the issuance of
its shares, and prohibit banks generally from issuing, underwriting, selling or
distributing securities such as Fund shares. Such banking laws and regulations
do not prohibit such a holding company or affiliate or banks generally from
acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such an investment
company, or from purchasing shares of such a company for or upon the order of
customers. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC, as well as some Service Organizations, are
subject to such banking laws and regulations, but believe they may perform the
services for the Fund contemplated by their respective agreements, this
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information without violating applicable
banking laws or regulations.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of bank Service Organizations in connection with the
provision of support services to their customers, the Fund might be required to
alter or discontinue its arrangements with Service Organizations and change its
method of operations with respect to Dollar shares. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Fund's method of operations would affect its net
asset value per share or result in a financial loss to any customer.
DIVIDENDS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to dividends and distributions
arising only from the net investment income and capital gains, if any, earned on
its investments. The Fund's net investment income is declared daily as a
dividend to its shareholders of record at the close of business on the day of
declaration. Shares begin accruing dividends on the day the purchase order for
the shares is executed and continue to accrue dividends through, and including,
the day before the redemption order for the shares is executed. Dividends are
paid monthly by check, or by wire transfer if requested in writing by the
shareholder, within five business days after the end of the month or within five
business days after a redemption of all of a shareholder's shares of a
particular class. The Fund does not expect to realize net long-term capital
gains.
Dividends are determined in the same manner for each share of the Fund.
Dollar shares bear all the expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. As a
result, at any given time, the net yield on Treasury Trust Dollar shares is
approximately .25% lower than the net yield on Treasury Trust shares.
12
<PAGE> 228
Institutional shareholders may elect to have their dividends reinvested in
additional full and fractional shares of the same class of shares with respect
to which such dividends are declared at the net asset value of such shares on
the payment date. Reinvested dividends receive the same tax treatment as
dividends paid in cash. Such election, or any revocation thereof, must be made
in writing to PFPC at P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware 19885-9628, and will
become effective after its receipt by PFPC with respect to dividends paid.
PFPC, as transfer agent, will send each Fund shareholder or its authorized
representative an annual statement designating the amount, if any, of any
dividends and distributions made during each year and their Federal tax
qualification.
TAXES
The Fund qualified in its last taxable year and intends to qualify in
future years as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A regulated investment company is generally
exempt from federal income tax on amounts distributed to its shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that the Fund distribute to its
shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for such
year. In general, the Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income (including interest and short-term capital gains, if any),
subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net long-term
capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss, if any,
for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
investment company taxable income each year. Such distributions will be taxable
as ordinary income to the Fund's shareholders that are not currently exempt from
federal income taxes, whether such income is received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares. (Federal income taxes for distributions to an IRA or a
qualified retirement plan are deferred under the Code.) It is anticipated that
none of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the dividends received
deduction for corporations. The Fund does not expect to realize long-term
capital gains and therefore does not expect to distribute any "capital gains
dividends" as described in the Code.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be deemed to have
been received by the shareholders and paid by the Fund on December 31 of such
year, in the event such dividends are actually paid during January of the
following year.
TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY FEDERAL AND STATE LAW, THE FUND IS STRUCTURED
TO PROVIDE SHAREHOLDERS WITH INCOME THAT IS EXEMPT OR EXCLUDED FROM TAXATION AT
THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL. SUBSTANTIALLY ALL DIVIDENDS PAID TO SHAREHOLDERS
RESIDING IN CERTAIN STATES WILL BE EXEMPT OR EXCLUDED FROM STATE INCOME TAX.
MANY STATES, BY STATUTE, JUDICIAL DECISION OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION, HAVE TAKEN
THE POSITION THAT DIVIDENDS OF A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY SUCH AS THE FUND
THAT ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO INTEREST ON DIRECT U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS ARE THE
FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT OF INTEREST FROM SUCH OBLIGATIONS AND ARE, THEREFORE,
EXEMPT FROM STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAXES. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE
APPLICATION OF THEIR STATE AND LOCAL TAX LAWS TO INVESTMENTS IN THE FUND.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. As indicated
above, IRAs receive special tax
13

treatment. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the federal,
state or local income tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders, and this
discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
Accordingly, potential investors in the Fund should consult their tax advisors
with specific reference to their own tax situations.
YIELDS
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
"yields" and "effective yields" for Treasury Trust shares and Treasury Trust
Dollar shares may be quoted. Yield quotations are computed for Treasury Trust
shares separately from those for Treasury Trust Dollar shares. The "yield"
quoted in advertisements for a particular class or sub-class of Fund shares
refers to the income generated by an investment in such shares over a specified
period (such as a seven-day period) identified in the advertisement. This income
is then "annualized." That is, the amount of income generated by the investment
during that period is assumed to be generated for each such period over a
52-week or one-year period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The
"effective yield" is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income
earned by an investment in a class or sub-class of Fund shares is assumed to be
reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield"
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The Fund's yields may be compared to those of other mutual funds with
similar objectives, to stock or other relevant indices, or to rankings prepared
by independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor
the performance of mutual funds. For example, such data are reported in national
financial publications such as IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R), The Wall
Street Journal, and The New York Times, reports prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., and publications of a local or regional nature.
The Fund's yield figures for Treasury Trust Fund shares and Treasury Trust
Fund Dollar shares represent the Fund's past performance, will fluctuate, and
should not be considered as representative of future results. The yield of any
investment is generally a function of portfolio quality and maturity, type of
investment and operating expenses. Any fees charged by Service Organizations or
other institutional investors directly to their customers in connection with
investments in Fund shares are not reflected in the Fund's yield calculations;
and, such fees, if charged, would reduce the actual return received by customers
on their investments. The methods used to compute the Fund's yields are
described in more detail in the Statement of Additional Information. Investors
may call 800-821-6006 (Treasury Trust shares code: 62; Treasury Trust Dollar
shares code: 63) to obtain current-yield information.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND MISCELLANEOUS
The Company is a Pennsylvania business trust established on May 14, 1975.
Effective March 2, 1987, the Company's name was changed from Trust for
Short-Term Federal Securities to Trust for Federal Securities. The Company
commenced operations of the Fund in May, 1989.
The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares into one or
more additional classes of shares. Pursuant to such authority, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the issuance of fourteen classes of shares
14
<PAGE> 230
designated as Treasury Trust, Treasury Trust Dollar, FedFund, FedFund Dollar,
T-Fund, T-Fund Dollar, FedCash, FedCash Dollar, T-Cash, T-Cash Dollar, Federal
Trust, Federal Trust Dollar, Short Government and Short Government Dollar. The
Declaration of Trust further authorizes the trustees to classify or reclassify
any class of shares into one or more sub-classes.
THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCORPORATED
HEREIN RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUND AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE FUND.
INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE FUND'S OTHER CLASS
OF SHARES OR THE COMPANY'S FEDFUND, T-FUND, FEDCASH, T-CASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND,
AND SHORT GOVERNMENT FUND PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING
THESE PORTFOLIOS BY CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Company will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a member of the Board of Trustees upon written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company
entitled to vote.
Each Treasury Trust share and Treasury Trust Dollar share represents an
equal proportionate interest in the assets belonging to the Fund. Each share is
without par value and has no preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for
payment as described in this Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
Holders of the Company's Treasury Trust shares and Treasury Trust Dollar
shares will vote in the aggregate and not by class or sub-class on all matters,
except where otherwise required by law and except that only Treasury Trust
Dollar shares will be entitled to vote on matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders pertaining to the Fund's arrangements with Service Organizations.
Further, shareholders of all of the Company's portfolios will vote in the
aggregate and not by portfolio except as otherwise required by law or when the
Board of Trustees determines that the matter to be voted upon affects only the
interests of the shareholders of a particular portfolio. (See the Statement of
Additional Information under "Additional Description Concerning Fund Shares" for
examples where the 1940 Act requires voting by portfolio.) Shareholders of the
Company are entitled to one vote for each full share held (irrespective of
class, sub-class, or portfolio) and fractional votes for fractional shares held.
Voting rights are not cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50%
of the aggregate shares of the Company may elect all of the trustees.
For information concerning the redemption of Fund shares and possible
restrictions on their transferability, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares."
As stated above, the Company is organized as a trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for the
obligations of the trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not
because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.

BACKGROUND AND EXPENSE INFORMATION
The Company offers two classes of shares in the Fund: Treasury Trust shares
and Treasury Trust Dollar Shares ("Dollar Shares"). Shares of each class
represent equal, pro rata interests in the Fund and accrue daily dividends in
the same manner except that the Dollar Shares bear fees payable by the Fund (at
the rate of .25% per annum) to Service Organizations for administrative support
services they provide to the beneficial owners of such shares. (See "Management
of the Fund-Service Organizations.")

</TABLE>
THE FOREGOING SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES OR RATE OF RETURN. ACTUAL EXPENSES AND RATE OF RETURN MAY BE GREATER OR
LESSER THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The purpose of the foregoing table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund will
bear directly or indirectly. In addition, institutional investors may charge
fees for providing shareholder administrative services in connection with their
customers' investment in Treasury Trust Dollar Shares. (For more complete
descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see "Management of the Fund" in
this Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.) The investment adviser and administrators have waived advisory and
administration fees or have reimbursed the Fund for some or all of its operating
expenses pursuant to an agreement that extends to January 18, 1996. The
foregoing table gives effect to this agreement. It is anticipated that they may
continue to do so on a voluntary basis thereafter. Absent fee waivers for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the estimated "Total Fund Operating
Expenses" for Treasury Trust Shares and Treasury Trust Dollar Shares would have
been .29% and .54%, respectively, of the average net assets of the Treasury
Trust Fund portfolio. The foregoing table has not been audited by the Fund's
independent accountants.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
IN GENERAL
The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income with liquidity
and security of principal. The Fund invests solely in direct obligations of the
U.S. Treasury, such as Treasury bills and notes. The Fund does not enter into
repurchase agreements nor does the Fund purchase obligations of agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. Because the Fund invests exclusively
in direct U.S. Treasury obligations, investors may benefit from income tax
exclusions or exemptions that are available in certain states and localities.
See "Taxes." As a fundamental policy, the Fund will invest only in those
instruments which will permit Fund shares to qualify as "short-term liquid
assets" for federally regulated thrifts.
Portfolio securities held by the Fund have remaining maturities of one year
or less (with certain exceptions), subject to the quality, diversification, and
other requirements of Rule 2a-7
4
<PAGE> 237
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and other
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain government
securities held by the Fund may have remaining maturities exceeding one year if
such securities provide for adjustments in their interest rates not less
frequently than annually.
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government have historically
involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to
fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary
during the period a shareholder owns shares of the Fund. The Fund may from time
to time engage in portfolio trading for liquidity purposes, in order to enhance
its yield or if otherwise deemed advisable. In selling portfolio securities
prior to maturity, the Fund may realize a price higher or lower than that paid
to acquire any given security, depending upon whether interest rates have
decreased or increased since its acquisition. To the extent consistent with its
investment objectives, the Fund may invest in Treasury receipts and other
"stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, where the
principal and interest components are traded independently under the Separate
Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities program ("STRIPS").
Under the STRIPS program, the principal and interest components are individually
numbered and separately issued by the U.S. Treasury at the request of depository
financial institutions, which then trade the component parts independently.
Currently, the Fund only invests in "stripped" securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government which are registered under the STRIPS program.
The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield. The Fund will generally not pay for such
securities or start earning interest on them until they are received. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to
changes in value based upon changes in the general level of interest rates. The
Fund expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities will not exceed
25% of the value of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Fund
does not intend to purchase when-issued securities for speculative purposes but
only in furtherance of its investment objective.
SUITABILITY
The Fund is designed as an economical and convenient vehicle for those
institutional investors seeking to obtain current income with liquidity and
security of principal. The Fund is designed for banks and other institutions
seeking investment of monies held in accounts for which the institution acts in
a fiduciary, advisory, agency, custodial or other similar capacity. The Fund may
also be suitable for the investment of funds held or managed by corporations,
employee benefit plans, insurance companies, unions, hospitals, investment
counselors, professional firms, educational, religious and charitable
organizations, investment bankers, brokers, and others, if consistent with the
objectives of the particular account and any applicable state and federal laws
and regulations.
The Fund offers the advantage of diversification and economies of scale,
thereby avoiding the generally greater expense of executing a large number of
small transactions. Moreover, investment in the Fund relieves the investor of
many management and administrative burdens associated with the direct purchase
and sale of income obligations. These include the selection of investments;
surveying the market for the best terms at which to buy and sell; receipt,
delivery and safekeeping of securities; and recordkeeping.
5
<PAGE> 238
The Fund's investment policies are intended to qualify Fund shares for the
investment of funds of federally regulated thrifts. The Fund intends to qualify
its shares as "short-term liquid assets" as established in the published
rulings, interpretations, and regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision.
However, investing institutions are advised to consult their primary regulator
for concurrence that Fund shares qualify under applicable regulations and
policies.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's investment objective described above is not fundamental and may
be changed by the Company's Board of Trustees without a vote of shareholders. If
there is a change in the investment objective, shareholders should consider
whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment in light of their then
current financial position and needs. The Fund's investment limitations
summarized below may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of its outstanding shares. (A complete list of the investment
limitations that cannot be changed without a vote of shareholders is contained
in the Statement of Additional Information under "Investment Objective and
Policies.")
The Fund may not:
1. Purchase securities other than direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury
such as Treasury bills and notes which will permit Fund shares to qualify as
"short-term liquid assets" for federally regulated thrifts.
2. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and then in an
amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets, or mortgage,
pledge or hypothecate its assets except in connection with any such borrowing
and in amounts not in excess of the lesser of the dollar amounts borrowed or 10%
of the value of the Fund's total assets at the time of such borrowing.
3. Make loans except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt obligations in
accordance with its investment objective and policies.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Dollar Shares are sold exclusively to institutional investors, such as
banks and savings and loan associations and other financial institutions,
including affiliates of PNC Financial Corp ("Service Organizations"), acting on
behalf of themselves or their customers and customers of their affiliates
("customers"). The customers, which may include individuals, trusts,
partnerships and corporations, must maintain accounts (such as demand deposit,
custody, trust or escrow accounts) with the Service Organization. Service
Organizations (or their nominees) will normally be the holders of record of
Dollar Shares, and will reflect their customers' beneficial ownership of shares
in the account statements provided by them to their customers. The exercise of
voting rights and the delivery to customers of shareholder communications from
the Fund will be governed by the customers' account agreements with the Service
Organizations. Investors wishing to purchase Dollar Shares should contact their
account representatives.
Purchase orders must be transmitted by a Service Organization directly to
PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent. All such transactions are effected pursuant to
procedures established by the
6
<PAGE> 239
Service Organization in connection with a customer's account. Shares are sold at
the net asset value per share next determined after receipt of a purchase order
by PFPC.
Purchase orders for shares are accepted by the Fund only on days on which
both the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
are open for business (a "Business Day") and must be transmitted to PFPC in
Wilmington, Delaware, by telephone (800-441-7450; in Delaware: 302-791-5350); or
through the Fund's computer access program. Orders received before 12:00 noon,
Eastern time, for which payment has been received by PNC Bank, the Fund's
custodian, will be executed at 12:00 noon. Orders received after 12:00 noon and
before 2:30 P.M., Eastern time, (or orders received earlier in the same day for
which payment has not been received by 12:00 noon) will be executed at 4:00
P.M., Eastern time, if payment has been received by PNC Bank by that time.
Orders received at other times, and orders for which payment has not been
received by 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, will not be accepted, and notice thereof
will be given to the Service Organization placing the order. (Payment for orders
which are not received or accepted will be returned after prompt inquiry to the
sending institution.) The Fund may in its discretion reject any order for
shares.
Payment for Dollar Shares may be made only in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to PNC Bank. The minimum initial investment by a Service
Organization is $5,000; however, Service Organizations may set higher minimums
for their customers. There is no minimum subsequent investment.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to a Service Organization's
receipt of compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that are invested in
Dollar Shares. (See also "Management of the Fund-Service Organizations.")
Institutions, including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and
investment advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the
SEC, the Department of Labor or state securities commissions, should consult
their legal advisors before investing fiduciary funds in Dollar Shares. (See
also "Management of the Fund-Banking Laws.")
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Redemption orders must be transmitted by the Service Organization to PFPC
in Wilmington, Delaware in the manner described under "Purchase Procedures."
Shares are redeemed at the net asset value per share next determined after
PFPC's receipt of the redemption order. While the Fund intends to use its best
efforts to maintain its net asset value per share at $1.00, the proceeds paid to
a shareholder upon redemption may be more or less than the amount invested
depending upon a share's net asset value at the time of redemption.
Payment for redeemed shares for which a redemption order is received by the
distributor prior to 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day is normally
made in federal funds wired to the redeeming shareholder on the same day. A
shareholder of record located in the Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone may
receive redemption proceeds wired the same day in federal funds to a destination
within such time zone if its redemption order is received before to 2:30 P.M.,
Eastern time, or 1:30 P.M., Eastern time, respectively. Payment for other
redemption orders which are received between 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, or on a day when PNC Bank is closed, is normally wired in federal funds on
the next day following redemption that PNC Bank is open for business.
7
<PAGE> 240
The Fund shall have the right to redeem shares in any account if the value
of the account is less than $1,000 after sixty-days' prior written notice to the
shareholder. Any such redemption shall be effected at the net asset value per
share next determined after the redemption order is entered. If during the sixty
day period the shareholder increases the value of its account to $1,000 or more,
no such redemption shall take place. In addition, the Fund may redeem shares
involuntarily or suspend the right of redemption under certain special
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information."
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined by PIMC as of 12:00 noon and 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, on each day on which both the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the
New York Stock Exchange are open for business. Currently, one or both of these
institutions are closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (observed). The net asset value per share of each class of the
Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets
belonging to the Fund, subtracting liabilities attributable to each class and
dividing the result by the total number of the outstanding shares of each class.
In computing net asset value, the Fund uses the amortized cost method of
valuation as described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information." The Fund's net asset value per
share for purposes of pricing purchase and redemption orders is determined
independently of the net asset values of the shares of the Company's other
investment portfolios.
Fund shares are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Service
Organizations purchasing or holding Dollar Shares for their customer accounts
may charge customers fees for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts. In addition, if a customer has agreed with a
particular Service Organization to maintain a minimum balance in its account
with the Service Organization and the balance in such account falls below that
minimum, the customer may be obliged by the Service Organization to redeem all
or part of its shares in the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the
required minimum balance in such account. A customer should, therefore, consider
the terms of its account with a Service Organization before purchasing Dollar
Shares. A Service Organization purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf of its
customers is responsible for transmitting orders to the Fund in accordance with
its customer agreements, and to provide customers with account statements with
respect to share transactions for their accounts.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER
PIMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Asset Management Group, Inc., which
is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, serves as the Fund's
investment adviser. PIMC was organized in 1977 by PNC Bank to perform advisory
services for investment companies and has its principal offices at 400 Bellevue
Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809. PNC Asset Management Group, Inc.'s,
principal business address is 1835 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102. PNC Bank serves as the Fund's sub-adviser. PNC Bank is a wholly owned,
indirect subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. and its principal business address is
Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102. PNC Bank Corp. is
a multi-bank holding company. PIMC and PNC Bank also serve as adviser and
sub-adviser, respectively, to the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash,
Federal Trust Fund and Short Government Fund portfolios.
PNC Bank Corp., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the eleventh
largest bank holding company in the United States. Categorized as a super
regional bank holding company, PNC Bank Corp. operates over 500 branch offices
in six U.S. states.
PNC Bank's Investment Management and Trust Division, headquartered in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, traces its money management services to individuals
and institutions to the year 1847, and is the second largest bank manager of
investments for individuals in the U.S. with $28 billion in discretionary trust
assets under management.
PNC Financial Services Group is PNC Bank Corp.'s mutual fund complex,
headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. This group includes PIMC, PFPC and PNC
Bank. In 1973, Provident National Bank (predecessor to PNC Bank) commenced
advising the first institutional money market mutual fund -- a U.S.
dollar-denominated constant net asset value fund -- offered in the United
States.
9
<PAGE> 242
The PNC Financial Services Group is one of the largest U.S. bank managers
of mutual funds with assets currently under management in excess of $30 billion.
This group, through PFPC and PFPC International Ltd., is also a leading mutual
fund service provider having contractual relationships with approximately 400
mutual funds with 3.5 million shareholders and in excess of $106 billion in
assets. This group, through its PNC Institutional Investment Service, provides
investment research to some 250 financial institutions located in the United
States and abroad. PNC Bank provides custodial services for approximately $217
billion in assets, including $106 billion in mutual fund assets.
As adviser, PIMC manages the Fund's portfolio and is responsible for all
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. PIMC also maintains the
Fund's financial accounts and records and computes the Fund's net asset value
and net income. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on
the combined average net assets of the Fund, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash
and Federal Trust Fund. The advisory fee is allocated among these funds in
proportion to their relative net assets. PIMC and the administrators have agreed
to reduce the advisory and administration fees otherwise payable to them and to
reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure
that its operating expense ratio (excluding fees paid to Service Organizations
pursuant to Servicing Agreements) does not exceed .18% of the Fund's average net
assets. After January 18, 1996, PIMC and the administrators may terminate this
agreement to reduce fees and limit expenses on 120-days' written notice to the
Fund. Any fees waived or expenses reimbursed by PIMC and the administrators with
respect to a particular fiscal year are not recoverable. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1994, the Fund paid investment advisory fees with respect to
Dollar Shares aggregating .07% of Dollar Shares' average net assets. For the
same period, absent fee waivers, advisory fees would have been .13% of Dollar
Shares' average daily net assets.
As sub-adviser, PNC Bank provides research, credit analysis and
recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments, and supplies PIMC with
certain computer facilities, personnel and other services. For its sub-advisory
and other services, PNC Bank is entitled to receive from PIMC an amount equal to
75% of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to PIMC (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances). The sub-advisory fees paid by PIMC to PNC Bank have no
effect on the advisory fees payable by the Fund to PIMC. PNC Bank also serves as
the Fund's custodian. The services provided by PNC Bank and PIMC and the fees
payable by the Fund for these services are described in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Management of the Funds."
ADMINISTRATORS
PFPC whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,
Delaware 19809, and PDI, whose principal business address is 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, serve as co-administrators. PFPC is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. A majority of the
outstanding stock of PDI is owned by its officers. The administrative services
provided by the administrators, which are described more fully in the Statement
of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds," include providing and
supervising the operation of an automated data processing system to process
purchase and redemption orders; assisting in maintaining the Fund's Wilmington,
Delaware office; performing administrative services in connection with the
Fund's computer access program maintained to
10
<PAGE> 243
facilitate shareholder access to the Fund; accumulating information for and
coordinating the preparation of reports to the Fund's shareholders and the
Securities and Exchange Commission; and maintaining the registration or
qualification of the Fund's shares for sale under state securities laws.
For their administrative services, the administrators are entitled jointly
to receive a fee computed daily and payable monthly determined in the same
manner as PIMC's advisory fee described above. (For information regarding the
administrators' obligations to waive administrative fees otherwise payable to
them and to reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, see "Investment Adviser
and Sub-Adviser" above.) The Fund also reimburses each administrator for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Funds'
computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid PFPC and PDI administration fees aggregating .07% of its average net
assets. Absent fee waivers, administration fees would have been .13% of the
Fund's average net assets.
PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing
agent. The transfer agent's address is P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware
19885-9628. The services provided by PFPC and PDI and the fees payable by the
Fund for these services are described in the Statement of Additional Information
under "Management of the Funds."
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Its principal offices are
located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Fund
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent. The
distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons
who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding preparation and printing
expenses necessary for the continued registration of the Fund's shares) and of
printing and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by
the Fund to the distributor for its distribution services.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
As stated above, Service Organizations may purchase Dollar Shares. Dollar
Shares are identical in all respects to the Company's Treasury Trust shares
except that Dollar Shares bear the service fees described below and enjoy
certain exclusive voting rights on matters relating to these fees. The Fund will
enter into an agreement with each Service Organization which purchases Dollar
Shares requiring it to provide support services to its customers who are the
beneficial owners of such shares in consideration of the Fund's payment of .25%
(on an annualized basis) of the average daily net assets of the Dollar Shares
held by the Service Organization for the benefit of customers. Such services,
which are described more fully in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Funds--Service Organizations," include aggregating and
processing purchase and redemption requests from customers and placing net
purchase and redemption orders with PFPC; processing dividend payments from the
Fund on behalf of customers; providing information periodically to customers
showing their positions in Dollar Shares; and providing sub-accounting or the
information necessary for sub-accounting with respect to Dollar Shares
beneficially owned by customers. Under the terms of the agreements, Service
Organizations are required to provide to their customers a schedule of any fees
that they may charge to the customers relating to the investment of the
customers' assets in Dollar Shares.
11
<PAGE> 244
EXPENSES
Except as noted above and in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Funds--Custodian and Transfer Agent," the Fund's service
contractors bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their
services. Similarly, the Fund bears the expenses incurred in its operations. For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund's total expenses (net of fee
waivers of .11%) with respect to Dollar Shares were .43% of the average net
assets of the Dollar Shares. With regard to fees paid exclusively by Dollar
Shares, see "Service Organizations" above.
BANKING LAWS
Banking laws and regulations presently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company engaged continuously in the issuance of
its shares, and prohibit banks generally from issuing, underwriting, selling or
distributing securities such as Fund shares. Such banking laws and regulations
do not prohibit such a holding company or affiliate or banks generally from
acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such an investment
company, or from purchasing shares of such a company for or upon the order of
customers. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC, as well as some Service Organizations, are
subject to such banking laws and regulations, but believe they may perform the
services for the Fund contemplated by their respective agreements, this
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information without violating applicable
banking laws or regulations.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of bank Service Organizations in connection with the
provision of support services to their customers, the Fund might be required to
alter or discontinue its arrangements with Service Organizations and change its
method of operations with respect to Dollar Shares. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Fund's method of operations would affect its net
asset value per share or result in a financial loss to any customer.
DIVIDENDS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to dividends and distributions
arising only from the net investment income and capital gains, if any, earned on
its investments. The Fund's net investment income is declared daily as a
dividend to its shareholders of record at the close of business on the day of
declaration. Dividends are determined in the same manner and are paid in the
same amount for each share of the Fund irrespective of class, except that Dollar
Shares bear all the expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. As a result,
at any given time, the net yield on Treasury Trust Dollar shares will be
approximately .25% lower than the net yield on Treasury Trust shares. Shares
begin accruing dividends on the day the purchase order for the shares is
executed and continue to accrue dividends through, and including, the day before
the redemption order for the shares is executed. Dividends are paid monthly by
check, or by wire transfer if requested in writing by the shareholder, within
five business days after the end of the month or within five business days after
a redemption of all of a shareholder's shares of a particular class. The Fund
does not expect to realize net long-term capital gains.
Institutional shareholders may elect to have their dividends reinvested in
additional full and fractional shares of the same class of shares with respect
to which such dividends are declared at
12
<PAGE> 245
the net asset value of such shares on the payment date. Reinvested dividends
receive the same tax treatment as dividends paid in cash. Such election, or any
revocation thereof, must be made in writing to PFPC at P.O. Box 8950,
Wilmington, Delaware 19885-9628, and will become effective after its receipt by
PFPC with respect to dividends paid.
PFPC, as transfer agent, will send each Fund shareholder or its authorized
representative an annual statement designating the amount, if any, of any
dividends and distributions made during each year and their federal tax
qualification.
TAXES
The Fund qualified in its last taxable year and intends to qualify in
future years as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A regulated investment company is generally
exempt from federal income tax on amounts distributed to its shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that the Fund distribute to its
shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for such
year. In general, the Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income (including interest and short-term capital gains, if any),
subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net long-term
capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss, if any,
for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
investment company taxable income each year. Such distributions will be taxable
as ordinary income to the Fund's shareholders that are not currently exempt from
federal income taxes, whether such income is received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares. (Federal income taxes for distributions to an Individual IRA
or a qualified retirement plan are deferred under the Code.) It is anticipated
that none of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the dividends
received deduction for corporations. The Fund does not expect to realize
long-term capital gains and therefore does not expect to distribute any "capital
gain dividends", as described in the Code.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be deemed to have
been received by the shareholders and paid by the Fund on December 31 of such
year, in the event such dividends are actually paid during January of the
following year.
TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY FEDERAL AND STATE LAW, THE FUND IS STRUCTURED
TO PROVIDE SHAREHOLDERS WITH INCOME THAT IS EXEMPT OR EXCLUDED FROM TAXATION AT
THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL. SUBSTANTIALLY ALL DIVIDENDS PAID TO SHAREHOLDERS
RESIDING IN CERTAIN STATES WILL BE EXEMPT OR EXCLUDED FROM STATE INCOME TAX.
MANY STATES, BY STATUTE, JUDICIAL DECISION OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION, HAVE TAKEN
THE POSITION THAT DIVIDENDS OF A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY SUCH AS THE FUND
THAT ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO INTEREST ON DIRECT U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS ARE THE
FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT OF INTEREST FROM SUCH OBLIGATIONS AND ARE, THEREFORE,
EXEMPT FROM STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAXES. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE
APPLICATION OF THEIR STATE AND LOCAL TAX LAWS TO INVESTMENTS IN THE FUND.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. As indicated
above, IRAs receive special tax treatment. No attempt is made to present a
detailed explanation of the federal, state or local
13
<PAGE> 246
income tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders and this discussion is not
intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential
investors in the Fund should consult their tax advisors with specific reference
to their own tax situations.
YIELDS
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
"yields" and "effective yields" for Treasury Trust shares and Dollar Shares may
be quoted. Yield quotations are computed for Dollar Shares separately from those
for Treasury Trust shares. The "yield" quoted in advertisements for a particular
class or sub-class of Fund shares refers to the income generated by an
investment in such shares over a particular period such as a seven-day period
identified in the advertisement. This income is then "annualized." That is, the
amount of income generated by an investment during that period is assumed to be
generated for each such period over a 52-week or one year period and is shown as
a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated similarly
but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in a class or sub-class
of Fund shares is assumed to be reinvested. The "effective yield" will be
slightly higher than the "yield" because of the compounding effect of this
assumed reinvestment.
The Fund's yields may be compared to those of other mutual funds with
similar objectives, to stock or other relevant indices, or to rankings prepared
by independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor
the performance of mutual funds. For example, such data are reported in national
financial publications such as IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R), The Wall
Street Journal, and The New York Times, reports prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., and publications of a local or regional nature.
The Fund's yield figures for Treasury Trust Fund shares and Treasury Trust
Fund Dollar shares represent the Fund's past performance, will fluctuate, and
should not be considered as representative of future results. The yield of any
investment is generally a function of portfolio quality and maturity, type of
investment and operating expenses. Any fees charged by Service Organizations
directly to their customers in connection with investments in Dollar Shares are
not reflected in the Dollar Shares' yield calculations; and, such fees, if
charged, would reduce the actual return received by Customers on their
investments. The methods used to compute the Fund's yields are described in more
detail in the Statement of Additional Information. Investors may call 800-821-
6006 (Treasury Trust shares code: 62; Treasury Trust Dollar shares code: 63) to
obtain current-yield information.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND MISCELLANEOUS
The Company is a Pennsylvania business trust established on May 14, 1975.
Effective March 2, 1987, the Company's name was changed from Trust for
Short-Term Federal Securities to Trust for Federal Securities. The Company
commenced operations of the Fund in May, 1989.
The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares into one or
more additional classes of shares. Pursuant to such authority, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the issuance of fourteen classes of shares designated as
Treasury Trust, Treasury Trust Dollar, FedFund, FedFund Dollar, T-Fund, T-Fund
Dollar, FedCash, FedCash Dollar, T-Cash, T-Cash Dollar, Federal Trust, Federal
Trust Dollar,
14
<PAGE> 247
Short Government, and Short Government Dollar. The Declaration of Trust further
authorizes the trustees to classify or reclassify any class of shares into one
or more sub-classes.
THIS PROSPECTUS RELATES PRIMARILY TO THE DOLLAR SHARES OF THE FUND AND
DESCRIBES ONLY THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS AND
OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE FUND. INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR
INFORMATION REGARDING THE FUND'S OTHER CLASS OF SHARES OR THE COMPANY'S FEDFUND,
T-FUND, FEDCASH, T-CASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND, AND SHORT GOVERNMENT FUND
PORTFOLIOS MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES BY CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT
800-998-7633.
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Company will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a member of the Board of Trustees upon written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company
entitled to vote.
Each Treasury Trust share and Dollar Share represents an equal
proportionate interest in the assets belonging to the Fund. Each share is
without par value and has no preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for
payment as described in this Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
Holders of the Company's Treasury Trust shares and Dollar Shares will vote
in the aggregate and not by class on all matters, except where otherwise
required by law and except that only Dollar Shares will be entitled to vote on
matters submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's
arrangements with Service Organizations. Further, shareholders of all of the
Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio except as
otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the
matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a
particular portfolio. (See the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Description Concerning Fund Shares" for examples where the 1940 Act
requires voting by portfolio.) Shareholders of the Company are entitled to one
vote for each full share held (irrespective of class, sub-class, or portfolio)
and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not
cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
shares of the Company may elect all of the trustees.
For information concerning the redemption of Fund shares and possible
restrictions on their transferability, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares."
As stated above, the Company is organized as a trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for the
obligations of the trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not
because of his acts or omissions or some other reason.

This Statement of Additional Information is meant to be read
in conjunction with the Prospectuses for Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust
Fund dated February 28, 1995 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety
into those Prospectuses. Because this Statement of Additional Information is
not itself a prospectus, no investment in shares of Federal Trust Fund or
Treasury Trust Fund should be made solely upon the information contained
herein. Copies of the Prospectuses for Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust
Fund may be obtained by calling 800-821-7432. Capitalized terms used but not

THE COMPANY
Trust for Federal Securities (Trust for Short-Term Federal
Securities prior to March 2, 1987) is a no-load, diversified, open-end
investment company designed primarily as a vehicle by which institutional
investors can invest cash reserves in a choice of portfolios consisting of
government securities. Trust for Federal Securities (the "Company") consists
of seven separate investment portfolios--Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust
Fund, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash and Short Government Fund. This
Statement of Additional Information relates primarily to the Company's Federal
Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund portfolios (the "Funds").
The obligations held by Federal Trust Fund are limited to
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities. The obligations held by Treasury Trust Fund are limited to
U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.
Although the Funds and the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash and T-Cash
portfolios have the same investment adviser and have comparable investment
objectives, the Funds differ in that they may not engage in repurchase
agreements; their yields normally will differ due to their differing cash flows
and differences in the specific portfolio securities held.
THIS STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND THE FUNDS'
PROSPECTUSES RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUNDS AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO
THE FUNDS. INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE
COMPANY'S FEDFUND, T-FUND, FEDCASH, T-CASH OR SHORT GOVERNMENT FUND PORTFOLIOS
MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE PORTFOLIOS BY CALLING THE
DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the investment objective
of each Fund is to seek current income with liquidity and security of
principal. The following policies supplement the description in the
Prospectuses of the investment objectives and policies of the Funds.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Subject to the general control of the Company's Board of
Trustees, PIMC, the Funds' investment adviser, is responsible for, makes
decisions with respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of
portfolio securities for the Funds. Purchases and sales of portfolio
securities are usually principal
-2-
<PAGE> 251
transactions without brokerage commissions. In making portfolio investments,
PIMC seeks to obtain the best net price and the most favorable execution of
orders. To the extent that the execution and price offered by more than one
dealer are comparable, PIMC may, in its discretion, effect transactions in
portfolio securities with dealers who provide the Company with research advice
or other services.
Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from
those for other investment company portfolios or accounts advised or managed by
PIMC. Such other portfolios may invest in the same securities as the Funds.
When purchases or sales of the same security are made at substantially the same
time on behalf of such other portfolios, transactions are averaged as to price,
and available investments allocated as to amount, in a manner which PIMC
believes to be equitable to each portfolio, including either Fund. In some
instances, this investment procedure may adversely affect the price paid or
received by a Fund or the size of the position obtained for a Fund. To the
extent permitted by law, PIMC may aggregate the securities to be sold or
purchased for a Fund with those to be sold or purchased for such other
investment company portfolios in order to obtain best execution.
Portfolio securities will not be purchased from or sold to
PIMC, PNC, PFPC, Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") or any affiliated person
(as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of any of them, except to the extent
permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Furthermore,
with respect to such transactions, the Funds will not give preference to
Service Organizations with whom the Funds enter into agreements concerning the
provision of support services to customers who beneficially own Federal Trust
Dollar shares or Treasury Trust Dollar shares ("Dollar shares"). (See the
Prospectuses, "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the Funds may purchase
securities on a "when-issued" basis (i.e., for delivery beyond the normal
settlement date at a stated price and yield). When a Fund agrees to purchase
when-issued securities, its custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio
securities equal to the amount of the commitment in a separate account.
Normally, the custodian will set aside portfolio securities to satisfy a
purchase commitment, and in such a case such Fund may be required subsequently
to place additional assets in the separate account in order to ensure that the
value of the account remains equal to the amount of such Fund's commitment. It
may be expected that a Fund's net assets will fluctuate to a greater degree
when it sets aside portfolio securities to cover such purchase commitments than
when it sets aside cash. Because the Funds will set aside cash or liquid
assets to satisfy their
-3-
<PAGE> 252
respective purchase commitments in the manner described, such a Fund's
liquidity and ability to manage its portfolio might be affected in the event
its commitments to purchase when-issued securities ever exceeded 25% of the
value of its assets. Neither Fund intends to purchase when-issued securities
for speculative purposes but only in furtherance of its investment objectives.
The Funds reserve the right to sell the securities before the settlement date
if it is deemed advisable.
When a Fund engages in when-issued transactions, it relies on
the seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may result
in a Fund's incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to obtain a price
considered to be advantageous.
The Funds may seek profits through short-term trading and
engage in short-term trading for liquidity purposes. Increased trading may
provide greater potential for capital gains and losses, and also involves
correspondingly greater trading costs which are borne by the Fund involved.
PIMC will consider such costs in determining whether or not a Fund should
engage in such trading. The portfolio turnover rate for the Funds is expected
to be zero for regulatory reporting purposes.
Neither Fund will invest more than 10% of the value of its
assets in investments which are not readily marketable at the time of purchase
or subsequent valuation. Securities for purposes of this limitation do not
include securities which have been determined to be liquid by the Fund's Board
of Trustees based upon the trading markets for such securities.
Currently, Treasury Trust Fund does not invest in securities
with maturities in excess of one year, as the U.S. Treasury does not currently
issue securities with maturities of such lengths. However, if such securities
ever become available, Treasury Trust Fund may purchase them under provisions
consistent with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and 12 C.F.R. Section 566.1(h) of
the regulations that govern federally regulated thrifts.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Funds' Prospectuses summarize certain investment
limitations that may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders
of a "majority of the outstanding shares" of the respective Fund (as defined
below under "Miscellaneous"). Below is a complete list of the Funds'
investment limitations that may not be changed without such a vote of
shareholders.
1. Federal Trust Fund may not purchase securities other
than U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other obligations
-4-
<PAGE> 253
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
2. Treasury Trust Fund may not purchase securities other
than direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury such as Treasury bills and notes,
which will permit Fund shares to qualify as "short-term liquid assets" for
federally regulated thrifts.
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund may not:
3. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes
and then in an amount not exceeding 10% of the value of the particular Fund's
total assets, or mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets except in
connection with any such borrowing and in amounts not in excess of the lesser
of the dollar amounts borrowed or 10% of the value of the particular Fund's
total assets at the time of such borrowing. (This borrowing provision is not
for investment leverage, but solely to facilitate management of the Funds by
enabling the Company to meet redemption requests where the liquidation of
portfolio securities is deemed to be inconvenient or disadvantageous.)
Interest paid on borrowed funds will not be available for investment.
4. Act as an underwriter.
5. Make loans except that the Funds may purchase or hold
debt obligations in accordance with their respective investment objective and
policies.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
IN GENERAL
Information on how to purchase and redeem a Fund's shares is
included in its Prospectus. The issuance of shares is recorded on the books of
the Funds, and share certificates are not issued unless expressly requested in
writing. Certificates are not issued for fractional shares.
The regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency provide
that funds held in a fiduciary capacity by a national bank approved by the
Comptroller to exercise fiduciary powers must be invested in accordance with
the instrument establishing the fiduciary relationship and local law. The
Company believes the purchase of Federal Trust shares and Treasury Trust shares
by such national banks acting on behalf of their fiduciary accounts is not
contrary to applicable regulations if consistent with the
-5-
<PAGE> 254
particular account and proper under the law governing the administration of the
account.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an
institution's receipt of compensation paid by the Funds on fiduciary funds that
are invested in Dollar shares. Institutions, including banks regulated by the
Comptroller of the Currency and investment advisers and other money managers
subject to the jurisdiction of the SEC, the Department of Labor or state
securities commissions, should consult their legal advisors before investing
fiduciary funds in Dollar shares.
Prior to effecting a redemption of shares represented by
certificates, PFPC, the Funds' transfer agent, must have received such
certificates at its principal office. All such certificates must be endorsed
by the redeeming shareholder or accompanied by a signed stock power, in each
instance with the signature guaranteed by a commercial bank, a member of a
major stock exchange or other eligible guarantor organization, unless other
arrangements satisfactory to the Funds have previously been made. The Funds
may require any additional information reasonably necessary to evidence that a
redemption has been duly authorized.
Under the 1940 Act, the Funds may suspend the right of
redemption or postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period
during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary
weekend and holiday closings, or during which trading on said Exchange is
restricted, or during which (as determined by the SEC by rule or regulation) an
emergency exists as a result of which disposal or valuation of portfolio
securities is not reasonably practicable, or for such other periods as the SEC
may permit. (The Funds may also suspend or postpone the recordation of the
transfer of their shares upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing
conditions.)
In addition, the Funds may redeem shares involuntarily in
certain other instances if the Board of Trustees determines that failure to
redeem may have material adverse consequences to a Fund's shareholders in
general. Each Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to $250,000
or 1% of the Fund's net asset value, whichever is less, for any one shareholder
within a 90-day period. Any redemption beyond this amount will also be in cash
unless the Board of Trustees determines that conditions exist which make
payment of redemption proceeds wholly in cash unwise or undesirable. In such a
case, the Fund may make payment wholly or partly in securities or other
property, valued in the same way as the Fund determines net asset value. (See
"Net Asset Value" below for an example of when such redemption or form of
payment might be appropriate.) Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash
redemption. Shareholders who receive a
-6-
<PAGE> 255
redemption in kind may incur transaction costs if they sell such securities or
property, and may receive less than the redemption value of such securities or
property upon sale, particularly where such securities are sold prior to
maturity.
Any institution purchasing shares on behalf of separate
accounts will be required to hold the shares in a single nominee name (a
"Master Account"). Institutions investing in more than one of the Company's
portfolios or classes of shares must maintain a separate Master Account for
each portfolio and class of shares. Sub-accounts may be established by name or
number either when the Master Account is opened or later.
NET ASSET VALUE
As stated in each Fund's Prospectus, each Fund's net asset
value per share is calculated by adding the value of all of the Fund's
portfolio securities and other assets belonging to that Fund, subtracting the
liabilities charged to that Fund, and dividing the result by the total number
of that Fund's shares outstanding (by class). "Assets belonging to" a Fund
consist of the consideration received upon the issuance of shares together with
all income, earnings, profits and proceeds derived from the investment thereof,
including any proceeds from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such
investments, any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such
proceeds, and a portion of any general assets of the Company not belonging to a
particular portfolio. Assets belonging to a particular Fund are charged with
the direct liabilities of that Fund and with a share of the general liabilities
of the Company allocated in proportion to the relative net assets of such Fund
and the Company's other portfolios. Determinations made in good faith and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by the Board of
Trustees as to the allocations of any assets or liabilities with respect to a
Fund are conclusive.
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, in computing the net
asset value of shares of the Funds for purposes of sales and redemptions, the
Funds use the amortized cost method of valuation. Under this method, the Funds
value each of their portfolio securities at cost on the date of purchase and
thereafter assume a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or
premium until maturity of the security. As a result, the value of a portfolio
security for purposes of determining net asset value normally does not change
in response to fluctuating interest rates. While the amortized cost method
provides certainty in portfolio valuation, it may result in valuations for the
Funds' securities which are higher or lower than the market value of such
securities.
-7-
<PAGE> 256
In connection with their use of amortized cost valuation, each
of the Funds limits the dollar-weighted average maturity of its portfolio to
not more than 90 days. Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund do not
purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity of more than thirteen months
and one year, respectively (with certain exceptions). In determining the
average weighted portfolio maturity of each Fund, a variable rate obligation
that is issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or an agency or
instrumentality thereof, is deemed to have a maturity equal to the period
remaining until the obligation's next interest rate adjustment. The Company's
Board of Trustees has also established procedures, pursuant to rules
promulgated by the SEC, that are intended to stabilize the net asset value per
share of each Fund for purposes of sales and redemptions at $1.00. Such
procedures include the determination at such intervals as the Board deems
appropriate, of the extent, if any, to which each Fund's net asset value per
share calculated by using available market quotations or a matrix believed to
provide reliable values deviates from $1.00 per share. In the event such
deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1% with respect to either Fund, the Board will
promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated. If the Board
believes that the amount of any deviation from the $1.00 amortized cost price
per share of a Fund may result in material dilution or other unfair results to
investors or existing shareholders, it will take such steps as it considers
appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the extent reasonably practicable any
such dilution or unfair results. These steps may include selling portfolio
instruments prior to maturity; shortening the Fund's average portfolio
maturity; withholding or reducing dividends; redeeming shares in kind; or
utilizing a net asset value per share determined by using available market
quotations.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Company paid a
total of $99,478 to its officers and trustees in all capacities of which
$31,488 was allocated to the Funds. In addition, the Company contributed
$2,678 during its last fiscal year to its retirement plan for employees (which
included Mr. Roach) of which $843 was allocated to the Funds. Drinker Biddle &

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER
The advisory and sub-advisory services provided by PIMC and
PNC are described in the Funds' Prospectuses. For the advisory services
provided and expenses assumed by it, PIMC is entitled to receive a fee,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined average net assets of
the Funds, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash and T-Cash as follows:
<TABLE>

.080% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . of amounts in excess of $7 billion.
</TABLE>
The advisory fee is allocated between these Funds in proportion to their
relative net assets.
PIMC and the administrators have each agreed that if, in any
fiscal year, the expenses borne by a Fund exceed the applicable expense
limitations imposed by the securities regulations of any state in which shares
of the particular Fund are registered or qualified for sale to the public, they
will each reimburse such Fund for one-half of any excess to the extent required
by such regulations. Unless otherwise required by law, such reimbursement
would be accrued and paid on the same basis that the advisory and
administration fees are accrued and paid by such Fund. To the Funds'
knowledge, of the expense limitations in effect on the date of this Statement
of Additional Information, none is more restrictive than two and one-half
percent (2-1/2%) of the first $30 million of a Fund's average annual net
assets, two percent (2%) of the next $70 million of the average annual net
assets and one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the remaining average annual
net assets.
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994,
Treasury Trust Fund paid fees (net of waivers) for advisory services
aggregating $1,302,245, $1,158,339 and $991,942 respectively. For the same
periods, advisory fees payable by Treasury Trust Fund of $617,618, $750,375
and $748,721 respectively, were voluntarily waived. For the fiscal years ended
October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, Federal Trust Fund paid fees (net of waivers)
for advisory services aggregating $240,250, $244,903 and $175,896. For the
same periods, advisory fees payable by Federal Trust Fund of $179,575, $202,045
and $197,112 were voluntary waived. Any fees waived by PIMC are not
recoverable. PIMC and PNC also serve as the adviser and sub-adviser,
respectively, to the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash and Short
Government Fund portfolios.
BANKING LAWS
Certain banking laws and regulations with respect to
investment companies are discussed in each Fund's Prospectus. PIMC, PNC and
PFPC believe that they may perform the services for the Funds contemplated by
their respective agreements, Prospectuses and this Statement of Additional
Information without violation of applicable banking laws or regulations. It
should be noted, however, that future changes in legal requirements relating to
the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates, as well as further
interpretations of present requirements, could prevent PIMC and PFPC from
continuing to perform such services for the Funds and PNC from continuing to
perform such services for PIMC and the Funds. If PIMC, PFPC, or PNC were
prohibited from continuing to perform such services, it is expected that the
Company's Board of Trustees would recommend that the Funds enter into new
agreements with other qualified firms. Any new advisory agreement would be
subject to shareholder approval.
-13-
<PAGE> 262
In addition, state securities laws on this issue may differ
from the interpretations of federal laws expressed herein and banks and
financial institutions may be required to register as dealers pursuant to State
Law.
ADMINISTRATOR
As the Funds' administrators, PFPC and PDI have agreed to
provide the following services: (i) assist generally in supervising the Funds'
operations, including providing a Wilmington, Delaware order-taking facility
with toll-free IN-WATS telephone lines, providing for the preparing,
supervising and mailing of purchase and redemption order confirmations to
shareholders of record, providing and supervising the operation of an automated
data processing system to process purchase and redemption orders, maintaining a
back-up procedure to reconstruct lost purchase and redemption data, providing
information concerning the Funds to their shareholders of record, handling
shareholder problems, supervising the services of employees, provided by PDI,
whose principal responsibility and function is to preserve and strengthen
shareholder relations, and monitoring the arrangements pertaining to the Funds'
agreements with Service Organizations; (ii) assure that persons are available
to receive and transmit purchase and redemption orders; (iii) participate in
the periodic updating of the Funds' Prospectuses; (iv) assist in maintaining
the Funds' Wilmington, Delaware office; (v) perform administrative services in
connection with the Fund's computer access program maintained to facilitate
shareholder access to the Funds; (vi) accumulate information for and coordinate
the preparation of reports to the Funds' shareholders and the SEC; and (vii)
maintain the registration or qualification of the Funds' shares for sale under
state securities laws; (viii) prepare or review, and provide advice with
respect to, all sales literature (advertisements, brochures and shareholder
communications) for each of the Funds and any class or sub-class thereof; and
(ix) assist in the monitoring of regulatory and legislative developments which
may affect the Company, participate in counseling and assisting the Company in
relation to routine regulatory examinations and investigations, and work with
the Company's counsel in connection with regulatory matters and litigation.
For their administrative services, the administrators are
entitled jointly to receive a fee from the six Funds referred to above
determined and allocated in the same manner as PIMC's advisory fee set forth
above. As stated in their Prospectuses, each administrator is also reimbursed
for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the
Fund's computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994,
Treasury Trust Fund and Federal Trust Fund paid fees (net of waivers) for
administrative services to PFPC and PDI aggregating
-14-
<PAGE> 263
$991,942 and $175,896, respectively. For the fiscal year ended October 31,
1992, Treasury Trust Fund paid fees (net of waivers) for administration
services to its former administrator, The Boston Company Advisors, Inc.
("Boston Advisors"), aggregating $1,302,245. For the same period,
administration fees payable by Treasury Trust Fund of $617,618 were voluntarily
waived by Boston Advisors. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1992, Federal
Trust Fund paid fees for administration services (net of waivers) aggregating
$240,250 to its former administrator, Boston Advisors. For the same period,
administration fees payable by Federal Trust Fund of $179,575 were voluntarily

Company paid fees (net of waivers) to its former administrator, the Boston
Company Advisors totalling $66,520 with respect to Federal Trust Fund and
$359,966 with respect to Treasury Trust Fund. Administration fees totalling
$46,130 and $141,059 for Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund,
respectively, were waived by Boston Advisors during this period. For the
period from January 18, 1993 through October 31, 1993, the Company paid fees
(net of waivers) for administrative services to PFPC and to PDI, its
administrators, aggregating $103,838 with respect to Federal Trust Fund and
$1,158,339 with respect to Treasury Trust Fund. For the same period,
administration fees of $750,375 with respect to Treasury Trust Fund and
$343,110 with respect to Federal Trust Fund were voluntarily waived.
For information regarding the administrators' obligations to
reimburse the Funds in the event their expenses exceed certain prescribed
limits, see "Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser" above. PFPC, a wholly owned,
indirect subsidiary of PNC, provides advisory, administrative or, in some cases
sub-advisory and/or sub-administrative services to investment companies which
are distributed by PDI. PFPC and PDI also serve as the co-administrators of
the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash and Short Government Fund
portfolios.
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI acts as the distributor of the Funds' shares. Each Fund's
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent, although it
is not obliged to sell any particular amount of shares. PDI will prepare or
review, provide advice with respect to, and file with the federal and state
agencies or other organization as required by federal, state, or other
applicable laws and regulations, all sales literature (advertisements,
brochures and shareholder communications) for each of the Funds and any class
or sub-class thereof. The distributor pays the cost of printing and
distributing prospectuses to persons who are not shareholders of the Funds
(excluding preparation and printing expenses necessary for the continued
registration of Fund shares) and of preparing, printing
-15-
<PAGE> 264
and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by the Funds
to the distributor for its distribution services. PDI also serves as the
distributor for the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash and Short
Government Fund portfolios. PDI is a Delaware corporation, with its principal
place of business located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor,
Pennsylvania 19087.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT
Pursuant to a Custodian Agreement, PNC serves as the Funds'
custodian. Under the Agreement, PNC has agreed to provide the following
services: (i) maintain a separate account or accounts in the name of the
Funds; (ii) hold and disburse portfolio securities on account of the Funds;
(iii) collect and make disbursements of money on behalf of the Funds; (iv)
collect and receive all income and other payments and distributions on account
of the Funds' portfolio securities; and (v) make periodic reports to the Board
of Trustees concerning the Funds' operations. The Custodian Agreement permits
PNC, on 30 days' notice, to assign its rights and delegate its duties
thereunder to any other affiliate of PNC or PNC Bank Corp., provided that PNC
remains responsible for the performance of the delegate under the Custodian
Agreement.
The Funds reimburse PNC for its direct and indirect costs and
expenses incurred in rendering custodial services. Under the Custodian
Agreement, each Fund pays PNC an annual fee equal to $.25 for each $1,000 of
such Fund's average daily gross assets, which fee declines as such Fund's
average daily gross assets increase. In addition, each Fund pays the custodian
a fee for each purchase, sale or delivery of a security, interest collection or
claim item, and reimburses PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf
of the Fund. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994,
Treasury Trust Fund paid fees for custodian services aggregating $247,316,
$238,777 and $220,900, respectively. For the period ended October 31, 1992 and
fiscal years ended October 31, 1993 and 1994, Federal Trust Fund paid fees for
custodian services aggregating $85,116, $85,941 and $71,103, respectively. PNC
also serves as Custodian for the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash and
Short Government Fund portfolios. PNC's principal business address is Broad
and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102.
PFPC also serves as the Funds' transfer agent, registrar and
dividend disbursing agent pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. Under the
Agreement, PFPC has agreed to provide the following services: (i) maintain a
separate account or accounts in the name of the Funds; (ii) issue, transfer and
redeem shares of the Funds; (iii) disburse dividends and distributions, in the
manner described in each Fund's Prospectus,
-16-
<PAGE> 265
to shareholders of the Fund; (iv) transmit all communications by the Funds to
their shareholders or their authorized representatives, including reports to
shareholders, distribution and dividend notices and proxy materials for
meetings of shareholders; (v) prepare and file with the appropriate taxing
authorities reports or notices relating to dividends and distributions made by
the Funds; (vi) respond to correspondence by shareholders, security brokers and
others relating to its duties; (vii) maintain shareholder accounts; and (viii)
make periodic reports to the Company's Board of Trustees concerning the Funds'
operations. The Transfer Agency Agreement permits PFPC, on 30-days' notice, to
assign its rights and duties thereunder to any other affiliate of PNC or PNC
Bank Corp., provided that PFPC remains responsible for the performance of the
delegate under the Transfer Agency Agreement.
Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, each Fund pays PFPC fees
at an annual rate of $12.00 per account and sub-account maintained by PFPC plus
$1.00 for each purchase or redemption transaction by an account (other than a
purchase transaction made in connection with the automatic reinvestment of
dividends). Payments to PFPC for sub-accounting services provided by others
are limited to the amount which PFPC pays to others for such services. In
addition, the Funds reimburse PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses related to such
services. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, Treasury
Trust Fund paid fees for transfer agency services aggregating $143,150,
$149,325 and $133,142, respectively. For the period ended October 31, 1992 and
the fiscal years ended October 31, 1993 and 1994, Federal Trust Fund paid fees
for transfer agency services aggregating $36,061, $37,448 and $36,244,
respectively. PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend
disbursing agent for the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash and Short
Government Fund portfolios.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
As stated in the Funds' Prospectuses, the Funds will enter
into an agreement with each Service Organization which purchases Dollar Shares
requiring it to provide support services to its customers who beneficially own
Dollar shares in consideration of the Funds' payment of .25% (on an annualized
basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Dollar shares held by the
Service Organization for the benefit of customers. Such services include: (i)
aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests from customers and
placing net purchase and redemption orders with the transfer agent; (ii)
providing customers with a service that invests the assets of their accounts in
Dollar shares; (iii) processing dividend payments from the Funds on behalf of
customers; (iv) providing information periodically to customers showing their
positions in Dollar
-17-
<PAGE> 266
shares; (v) arranging for bank wires; (vi) responding to customer inquiries
relating to the services performed by the Service Organization; (vii) providing
sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares beneficially owned by customers or
the information necessary for sub-accounting; (viii) forwarding shareholder
communications from the Funds (such as proxies, shareholder reports, annual and
semi-annual financial statements and dividend, distribution and tax notices) to
customers, if required by law; and (ix) other similar services if requested by
the Funds. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Company paid
$113,144 in servicing fees to an affiliate of the Company's adviser
(representing 9.9% of the aggregate servicing fees) of which $107,481 and
$5,663 was allocated to the Treasury Trust Fund and Fed Trust Fund,
respectively, pursuant to service agreements in effect during such period.
Each Fund's agreements with Service Organizations are governed
by a Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan") that has been adopted by the
Company's Board of Trustees pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC
in connection with the creation of the Dollar shares. Pursuant to each Plan,
the Board of Trustees reviews, at least quarterly, a written report of the
amounts expended under the Fund's agreements with Service Organizations and the
purposes for which the expenditures were made. In addition, the Funds'
arrangements with Service Organizations must be approved annually by a majority
of the Company's trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Company as defined in the 1940 Act and have no
direct or indirect financial interest in such arrangements (the "Disinterested
Trustees").
The Board of Trustees has approved the Funds' arrangements
with Service Organizations based on information provided by the Funds' service
contractors that there is a reasonable likelihood that the arrangements will
benefit the Funds and their shareholders by affording the Funds greater
flexibility in connection with the servicing of the accounts of the beneficial
owners of their shares in an efficient manner. Any material amendment to the
Funds' arrangements with Service Organizations must be approved by a majority
of the Company's Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Disinterested
Trustees). So long as the Funds' arrangements with Service Organizations are
in effect, the selection and nomination of the members of the Company's Board
of Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of
the Company will be committed to the discretion of such non-interested
trustees.

<PAGE> 267
EXPENSES
The Funds' expenses include taxes, interest, fees and salaries
of the Company's trustees and officers, SEC fees, state securities
qualification fees, Standard & Poor's rating fees, costs of preparing and
printing prospectuses for regulatory purposes and for distribution to
shareholders, advisory and administration fees, charges of the custodian,
transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent, Service Organization fees,
certain insurance premiums, outside auditing and legal expenses, costs of the
Funds' computer access program, costs of shareholder reports and shareholder
meetings and any extraordinary expenses. The Funds also pay for brokerage fees
and commissions (if any) in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES
The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting each Fund and its shareholders that are not described in
each Fund's Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation
of the tax treatment of the Funds or their shareholders or possible legislative
changes, and the discussion here and in each Fund's Prospectus is not intended
as a substitute for careful tax planning. Investors should consult their tax
advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.
Each Fund of the Company is treated as a separate corporate
entity under the Code and intends to qualify each year as a regulated
investment company under the Code. In order to so qualify for a taxable year,
each Fund must satisfy the distribution requirement described in its
Prospectus, derive at least 90% of its gross income for the year from certain
qualifying sources, comply with certain diversification requirements, and
derive less than 30% of its gross income from the sale or other disposition of
securities and certain other investments held for less than three months.
Interest (including original issue discount and accrued market discount)
received by a Fund upon maturity or disposition of a security held for less
than three months will not be treated as gross income derived from the sale or
other disposition of such security within the meaning of this requirement.
However, any other income that is attributable to realized market appreciation
will be treated as gross income from the sale or other disposition of
securities for this purpose.
A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated
investment companies that fail to distribute currently an amount equal to
specified percentages of their ordinary taxable income and capital gain net
income (excess of capital gains over capital
-19-
<PAGE> 268
losses). Each Fund intends to make sufficient distributions or deemed
distributions of its ordinary taxable income and any capital gain net income
each calendar year to avoid liability for this excise tax.
If for any taxable year a Fund does not qualify for tax
treatment as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income will be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, without any deduction
for distributions to Fund shareholders. In such event, dividend distributions
would be taxable as ordinary income to Fund shareholders to the extent of that
Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits and would be eligible for
the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders.
Each Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and
remit to the U.S. Treasury 31% of taxable dividends or gross sale proceeds paid
to any shareholder who has failed to provide a correct tax identification
number in the manner required, or who is subject to withholding by the Internal
Revenue Service for failure to properly include on his return payments of
taxable interest or dividends, or who has failed to certify to the Fund when
required to do so that he is not subject to backup withholding or that he is an
"exempt recipient."
Depending upon the extent of the Funds' activities in states
and localities in which their offices are maintained, in which their agents or
independent contractors are located or in which they are otherwise deemed to be
conducting business, the Funds may be subject to the tax laws of such states or
localities. In addition, in those states and localities which have income tax
laws, the treatment of the Funds and their shareholders under such laws may
differ from their treatment under federal income tax laws. Shareholders are
advised to consult their tax advisors concerning the application of state and
local taxes.
The foregoing discussion is based on federal tax laws and
regulations which are in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional
Information; such laws and regulations may be changed by legislative or
administrative action.
DIVIDENDS
Net income of each of the Funds for dividend purposes consists
of (i) interest accrued and original issue discount earned on the Fund's
assets, (ii) plus the amortization of market discount and minus the
amortization of market premium on such assets, (iii) less accrued expenses
directly attributable to the Fund and the general expenses (e.g., legal,
accounting and
-20-
<PAGE> 269
trustees' fees) of the Company prorated to the Fund on the basis of its
relative net assets. In addition, Dollar shares bear exclusively the expense
of fees paid to Service Organizations. (See "Management of the Funds--Service
Organizations.")
As stated, the Company uses its best efforts to maintain the
net asset value per share of Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund at
$1.00. As a result of a significant expense or realized or unrealized loss
incurred by either Fund is possible that the Fund's net asset value per share
may fall below $1.00.
ADDITIONAL YIELD INFORMATION
The "yields" and "effective yields" are calculated separately
for each class of shares of each Fund and in accordance with the formulas
prescribed by the SEC. The seven-day yield for each class of shares is
calculated by determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical
pre-existing account in the particular Fund which has a balance of one share of
the class involved at the beginning of the period, dividing the net change by
the value of the account at the beginning of the period to obtain the base
period return, and multiplying the base period return by 365/7. The net change
in the value of an account in a Fund includes the value of additional shares
purchased with dividends from the original share and dividends declared on the
original share and any such additional shares, net of all fees charged to all
shareholder accounts in proportion to the length of the base period and the
Fund's average account size, but does not include gains and losses or
unrealized appreciation and depreciation. In addition, an effective annualized
yield quotation may be computed on a compounded basis with respect to each
class of its shares by adding 1 to the base period return for the class
involved (calculated as described above), raising that sum to a power equal to
365/7, and subtracting 1 from the result. Similarly, based on the calculations
described above, the Funds' 30-day (or one-month) yields and effective yields
may also be calculated.
For the seven-day period ended October 31, 1994, the yields on
Federal Trust shares and Treasury Trust shares were 4.84% and 4.60%,
respectively, and the compounded effective yields on Federal Trust shares and
Treasury Trust shares were 4.96% and 4.71%, respectively; the yields on
Federal Trust Dollar shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares were 4.59% and
4.35%, respectively, and the compounded effective yields on Federal Trust
Dollar shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares were 4.69% and 4.44%,
respectively. During this seven-day period, the Funds' adviser and
administrator voluntarily waived a portion of the advisory and administration
fees payable by the Fund.
-21-
<PAGE> 270
Without these waivers, for the same period the yields on Federal Trust shares
and Treasury Trust shares would have been 4.71% and 4.49%, respectively; the
compounded effective yields on Federal Trust shares and Treasury Trust shares
would have been 4.82% and 4.59%, respectively; the yields on Federal Trust
Dollar shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares would have been 4.46% and 4.24%,
respectively; and the compounded effective yields on Federal Trust Dollar
shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares would have been 4.56% and 4.33%,
respectively.
For the 30-day period ended October 31, 1994, the yields on
Federal Trust shares and Treasury Trust shares were 4.78% and 4.51%,
respectively, and the compounded effective yields on Federal Trust shares and
Treasury Trust shares were 4.89% and 4.61%, respectively; the yields on
Federal Trust Dollar shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares were 4.53% and
4.26%, respectively, and the compounded effective yields on Federal Trust
Dollar shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares were 4.63% and 4.35%,
respectively. During this 30-day period, the Funds' adviser and administrator
voluntarily waived a portion of the advisory and administration fees payable by
the Fund. Without these waivers, for the same period the yields on Federal
Trust shares and Treasury Trust shares would have been 4.65% and 4.40%,
respectively; the compounded effective yields on Federal Trust shares and
Treasury Trust shares would have been 4.76% and 4.50%, respectively; the yields
on Federal Trust Dollar shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares would have been
4.40% and 4.15%, respectively; and the compounded effective yields on Federal
Trust Dollar shares and Treasury Trust Dollar shares would have been 4.50% and
4.24%, respectively.
From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to
shareholders, the performance of the Funds may be quoted and compared to that
of other money market funds or accounts with similar investment objectives and
to stock or other relevant indices. For example, the yields of the Funds may
be compared to the Donoghue's Money Fund Average, which is an average compiled
by IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND REPORT(R) of Holliston, MA 01746, a widely
recognized independent publication that monitors the performance of money
market funds, or to the average yields reported by the Bank Rate Monitor from
money market deposit accounts offered by the 50 leading banks and thrift
institutions in the top five standard metropolitan statistical areas.
THE FUNDS' YIELDS WILL FLUCTUATE, AND ANY QUOTATION OF YIELD
SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FUTURE PERFORMANCE OF THE
FUNDS. Since yields fluctuate, yield data cannot necessarily be used to
compare an investment in the Funds' shares with bank deposits, savings
accounts, and similar investment alternatives which often provide an agreed or
guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. Shareholders
-22-
<PAGE> 271
should remember that performance and yield are generally functions of kind and
quality of the investments held in a portfolio, portfolio maturity, operating
expenses net of waivers and expense reimbursements, and market conditions. Any
fees charged by Service Organizations or other institutional investors with
respect to customer accounts in investing in shares of the Funds will not be
included in yield calculations; such fees, if charged, would reduce the actual
yield from that quoted.
ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING FUND SHARES
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings
of shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
Upon the written request of shareholders owning at least twenty percent of the
Company's shares, the Company will call for a meeting of shareholders to
consider the removal of one or more trustees and other certain matters. To the
extent required by law, the Company will assist in shareholder communication in
such matters.
As stated in the Prospectuses for the Funds, holders of the
Company's Federal Trust shares and Federal Trust Dollar shares will vote in the
aggregate and not by class on all matters, except where otherwise required by
law and except that only Federal Trust Dollar shares will be entitled to vote
on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's
arrangements with Service Organizations. (See "Management of the
Funds--Service Organizations.") Holders of the Company's Treasury Trust and
Treasury Trust Dollar shares will also vote in the aggregate and not by class
except as described above. Further, shareholders of all of the Company's
portfolios will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio except as otherwise
required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the matter to be
voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular
portfolio. Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides that any matter required to
be submitted by the provisions of such Act or applicable state law, or
otherwise, to the holders of the outstanding securities of an investment
company such as the Company shall not be deemed to have been effectively acted
upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
each portfolio affected by the matter. Rule 18f-2 further provides that a
portfolio shall be deemed to be affected by a matter unless it is clear that
the interests of each portfolio in the matter are identical or that the matter
does not affect any interest of the portfolio. Under the Rule the approval of
an investment advisory agreement or any change in a fundamental investment
policy would be effectively acted upon with respect to a portfolio only if
approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
such portfolio. However, the Rule also provides that the
-23-
<PAGE> 272
ratification of the selection of independent accountants, the approval of
principal underwriting contracts and the election of trustees are not subject
to the separate voting requirements and may be effectively acted upon by
shareholders of the investment company voting without regard to portfolio.

SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY
The Company is organized as a "business trust" under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for
the obligations of the trust. The Declaration of Trust of the Company provides
that shareholders of the Funds shall not be subject to any personal liability
for the acts or obligations of the Company and that every note, bond, contract,
order or other undertaking made by the Company shall contain a provision to the
effect that the shareholders are not personally liable thereunder. The
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the trust property of
any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been
a shareholder and not because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.
The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Company shall, upon request,
assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the Company and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of
a shareholder's incurring financial loss beyond its investment on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Company itself
would be unable to meet its obligations.
The Company's Declaration of Trust provides further that no
trustee, officer or agent of the Company shall be personally liable for or on
account of any contract, debt, tort, claim, damage, judgment or decree arising
out of or connected with the administration or preservation of the trust estate
or the conduct of any business of the Company, nor shall any trustee be
personally liable to any person for any action or failure to act except by
reason of bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence in the performance
of any duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations and duties
as trustee. It also provides that all persons having any claim against the
trustees or the Company shall look solely to the trust property for payment.
With the exceptions stated, the Declaration of Trust provides that a trustee is
entitled to be indemnified against all liabilities and expenses reasonably
incurred by the trustee in connection with the defense or disposition of any
proceeding in which the trustee may be involved or with which the trustee may
be threatened by reason of being or having been a trustee, and that the
trustees have the power, but not the duty, to indemnify officers and employees
of the Company unless such person would not be entitled to indemnification had
he or she been a trustee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Trust for Federal Securities:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the FedFund,
T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short
Government Fund Portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities (the "Fund") as of
October 31, 1994 and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and
Short Government Fund Portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities, as of October
31, 1994, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes
in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
A. Trust for Federal Securities (the Company) was established as a Pennsylvania
business trust under a Declaration of Trust originally dated as of May 14, 1975,
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Company consists of
seven separate portfolios, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund,
Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund. The Intermediate Government Fund
Portfolio was liquidated on October 31, 1994.
Each portfolio has two classes of shares, one class being referred to as
Dollar shares. Dollar shares and the other class of shares of each portfolio are
identical in all respects, except that Dollar shares are sold to institutions
(Service Organizations) which provide support services to their customers who
beneficially own such shares, in consideration of the Company's payment of 0.25%
(on an annualized basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Dollar
shares held by the institutions for the benefit of their customers. The Service
Organization fee is applicable only to the earnings of the respective Dollar
shares.
B. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security Valuation--FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and
Treasury Trust Fund:
Portfolio securities are valued under the amortized cost method which
approximates current market value. Under this method, securities are valued at
cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any
discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. Regular review
and monitoring of the valuation is performed in an attempt to avoid dilution or
other unfair results to shareholders. The Company seeks to maintain the net
asset value per share of each portfolio at $1.00.
Security Valuation--Short Government Fund:
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available (other
than debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at
the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices provided by
investment dealers. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued at their fair value in the best judgment of PNC
Institutional Management Corporation under procedures established by and under
the supervision of the Company's Board of Trustees. Debt securities with
remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis
(unless the Board determines that such basis does not represent fair value at
the time).
Repurchase Agreements--The Company may purchase, for any portfolio except
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund, money market instruments from
financial institutions, such as banks and non-bank dealers, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price.
Collateral for repurchase agreements may have longer maturities than the maximum
permissible remaining maturity of portfolio investments, provided the repurchase
agreements themselves mature in one year or less. The seller will be required on
a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement
at no less than the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements with maturities in
excess of seven days are subject to a seven day put feature.
Dividends to Shareholders--Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly.
Dividends payable are recorded on the dividend record date. Net income for
dividend purposes includes interest accrued and discount earned, less the
amortization of market premium and applicable expenses and, for the Money Market
Portfolios, includes net realized gains on portfolio securities. Short
Government Fund will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least
once a year.
FS-29
<PAGE> 304
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Federal Taxes--No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Company's
intention to have each portfolio continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will
be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and the
cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses not
directly attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among the portfolios
based on their relative net assets.
Costs incurred by FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
in connection with their organization, registration and the initial public
offering of shares have been deferred and are being amortized using the
straight-line method over a five-year period beginning on the date on which the
portfolios commenced their investment activities.
C. Under agreements among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (PNC Bank)
and PNC Institutional Management Corporation (PIMC), a wholly owned subsidiary
of PNC Bank, PIMC manages the Company's portfolios and maintains their financial
accounts. PNC Bank is the Company's sub-advisor and custodian and PFPC Inc.
(PFPC) is the Company's transfer agent.
As of January 31, 1994, Provident Distributors, Inc. (PDI) became the
Company's Distributor succeeding Pennsylvania Merchant Group Ltd. No
compensation is payable by the Company to PDI for its distribution services.
The Company has entered into an Administration Agreement with PFPC and PDI for
certain administrative services.
In return for their advisory and administrative services, the Company pays
PIMC and the administrators each a fee, computed daily and payable monthly,
based upon an annualized percentage of the average net assets of each portfolio
as follows:
FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
(on a combined basis)--.175% of the first $1 billion, .15% of the next $1
billion, .125% of the next $1 billion, .10% of the next $1 billion, .095% of the
next $1 billion, .09% of the next $1 billion, .085% of the next $1 billion and
.08% of net assets in excess of $7 billion.
Short Government Fund--.20% of average net assets.
If expenses borne by any portfolio in any fiscal year exceed the applicable
expense limitation imposed by state securities regulations, the administrators
and PIMC will each reimburse the portfolio for one-half of any excess expense up
to the amount of fees payable to it (except where such regulations require
reimbursement regardless of the fees payable to it).
The administrators and PIMC have also agreed to reduce their fees, on an equal
basis, to the extent necessary to ensure that the total operating expenses
(excluding Service Organization fees) of FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund,
and Treasury Trust Fund do not exceed .18% of their respective average net
assets for the 36-month period ending January 18, 1996, and with respect to
FedCash and T-Cash, .16%. For the year ended October 31, 1994, the
administrators and PIMC voluntarily agreed to reimburse, on an equal basis, for
expenses in the amount of $4,592 with respect to Short Government Fund. For the
year ended October 31, 1994, the administrators (or former administrator) and
PIMC waived, on an equal basis, a total of $1,615,628 of the administration and
advisory fees payable to them with respect to FedFund, $1,310,068 with respect
to T-Fund, $1,093,063 with respect to FedCash, $819,786 with respect to T-Cash,
$394,224 with
FS-30
<PAGE> 305
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
respect to Federal Trust Fund, $1,569,441 with respect to Treasury Trust Fund
and $25,713 with respect to Short Government Fund.
D. The Company's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to authorize the
issuance of an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial
interest (shares) in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued
shares into one or more additional classes of shares.
Transactions in shares of the Company are summarized as follows:

Trust for Federal Securities (the "Company") is a no-load, diversified,
open-end investment company that currently offers shares in seven separate
investment portfolios. The shares described in this Prospectus represent
interests in the Short Government Fund portfolio (the "Fund").
The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income
consistent with prudent investment risk. The Fund invests in a portfolio
consisting of obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies and instrumentalities with remaining maturities of 5 1/4 years or less
and repurchase agreements relating to such obligations (collateral for
repurchase agreements may have longer maturities).
Fund shares may not be purchased by individuals directly, but institutional
investors may purchase shares for accounts maintained by individuals. In
addition to Short Government shares, investors may purchase Short Government
"Dollar" shares which accrue daily dividends in the same manner as Short
Government shares but bear all fees payable by the Fund to institutional
investors for certain services they provide to the beneficial owners of such
shares. (See "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
PNC Institutional Management Corporation ("PIMC") and PNC Bank, National
Association ("PNC Bank") serve as the Fund's adviser and sub-adviser,
respectively. PFPC and Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") serve as the Fund's
administrators. PDI also serves as the Fund's distributor.

shares and Short Government Dollar shares. Shares of each class represent equal,
pro rata interests in the Fund and accrue daily dividends in the same manner
except that the Dollar shares bear fees payable by the Fund (at the rate of .25%
per annum) to institutional investors for services they provide to the
beneficial owners of such shares. (See "Management of the Fund--Service

The purpose of the foregoing table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that an investor in the Fund will
bear directly or indirectly. In addition, institutional investors may charge
fees for providing shareholder administrative services in connection with their
customers' investment in Short Government Dollar Shares. (For more complete
descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see "Management of the Fund" in
this Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information and the financial
statements and related notes contained in the Statement of Additional
Information.) Absent fee waivers for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the
"Total Fund Operating Expenses" for Short Government shares and Short Government
Dollar shares would have been .86% and 1.11%, respectively, of the average net
assets of the Short Government Fund portfolio. The investment adviser and
administrators may from time to time reduce the advisory and administration fees
otherwise payable to them or may reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses.
The foregoing table reflects expenses (net of waivers and expense
reimbursements) incurred by the Fund during the fiscal year ended October 31,
1994. These waivers may continue. The foregoing table has not been audited by
the Fund's independent accountants.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
IN GENERAL
The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income
consistent with prudent investment risk. The Fund intends to meet its investment
objective by investing substantially all of its assets in obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities with
remaining maturities of 5 1/4 years or less, and in repurchase agreements
relating to such obligations (collateral for repurchase agreements may have
longer maturities). The average weighted maturity of the Fund will be between 1
and 3 years, except during temporary defensive periods or during unusual market
conditions. The Fund's net asset value per share will fluctuate as the value of
its portfolio changes in response to changing market rates of interest and other
factors.
The "instrumentalities" or "agencies" of the U.S. Government the
obligations of which may be purchased by the Fund include: the Central Bank for
Cooperatives, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Farmers Home
Administration, Federal Farm Credit Banks, Federal Financing Bank, Federal Home
Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Housing
Administration, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Federal
National Mortgage Association, Financing Corporation, General Services
Administration, Government National Mortgage Association, International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, Maritime Administration, Private Export Funding
Corp., Small Business Administration, Student Loan Marketing Association,
Tennessee Valley Authority and Washington D.C. Armory Board. Some obligations
issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government are
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States; others are backed by
the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or are backed only by
the credit of the agency or instrumentality issuing the obligation.
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if
held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market
value of such securities may vary during the period a shareholder owns shares of
the Fund. To the extent consistent with its investment objectives, the Fund may
invest in Treasury receipts and other "stripped" securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government, where the principal and interest components are traded
independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of
Securities program ("STRIPS"). Under the STRIPS program, the principal and
interest components are individually numbered and separately issued by the U.S.
Treasury at the request of depository financial institutions, which then trade
the component parts independently. Currently, the Fund only invests in
"stripped" securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government which are
registered under the STRIPS program.
The Fund may purchase government securities subject to agreement by the
seller (such as a bank or broker) to repurchase them from the Fund at an agreed
upon time and price ("repurchase agreements"). The investment adviser will
consider the creditworthiness of a seller in determining whether to enter into a
repurchase agreement. Securities subject to a repurchase agreement may bear
maturities exceeding 5 1/4 years. The seller under a repurchase agreement will
be required to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement at
not less than the repurchase price. Default by or bankruptcy of the seller
would, however, expose the Fund to
5
<PAGE> 316
possible loss because of adverse market action or delay in connection with the
disposition of the underlying obligations.
The Fund may borrow funds for temporary purposes by entering into reverse
repurchase agreements in accordance with the investment restrictions described
below. Pursuant to such agreements, the Fund would sell portfolio securities to
banks and agree to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The Fund
would only consider entering into reverse repurchase agreements to avoid
otherwise selling securities during unfavorable market conditions to meet
redemptions. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market
value of the portfolio securities sold by the Fund may decline below the price
at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase such securities.
The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield. The Fund will generally not pay for such
securities or start earning interest on them until they are received. Securities
purchased on a when-issued basis are recorded as an asset and are subject to
changes in value based upon changes in the general level of interest rates. The
Fund expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities will not exceed
25% of the value of its total assets absent unusual market conditions. The Fund
does not intend to purchase when-issued securities for speculative purposes but
only in furtherance of its investment objective.
The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to financial institutions such
as banks and brokers in accordance with its investment limitations set forth in
this Prospectus and in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. Such
loans would involve risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or in
recovering the securities loaned or even loss of rights in the collateral should
the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made
only to borrowers deemed by the Fund's investment adviser to be of good standing
and only when, in the adviser's judgment, the income to be earned from the loans
justifies the attendant risks.
The Fund may purchase mortgage-backed and certain other securities with
stated maturities in excess of 5 1/4 years. The average life of mortgage-backed
securities varies with the maturities of the underlying mortgage instruments,
which have maximum maturities of 40 years. The average life is likely to be
substantially less than the original maturity of the mortgage pools underlying
the securities as the result of mortgage prepayments. The rate of such
prepayments, and hence the average life of the certificates, will be a function
of current market interest rates and current conditions in the relevant housing
markets. Estimated average life will be determined by the investment adviser,
and such securities may be purchased by the Fund if the estimated average life
is determined to be 5 1/4 years or less. Various independent mortgage-backed
securities dealers publish average remaining life data using proprietary models
and, in making such determinations for the Fund, the investment adviser will
rely on such data except to the extent such data are deemed unreasonable by the
investment adviser. The investment adviser might deem such data unreasonable if
such data appeared to present a significantly different average remaining
expected life for a security when compared to data relating to the average
remaining life of comparable securities as provided by other independent
mortgage-backed securities dealers.
In addition, certain government securities with nominal maturities in
excess of 5 1/4 years that have variable or floating interest rates or demand or
put features may nonetheless be deemed to have remaining maturities of 5 1/4
years or less and therefore be permissible investments for the Fund. See
"Investment Objectives and Policies" in the Statement of Additional Information.
6
<PAGE> 317
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's investment objective and policies described above are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Company's Board of Trustees without a vote
of shareholders. If there is a change in the investment objective, shareholders
should consider whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment in light of
their then current financial position and needs. The Fund's investment
limitations summarized below may not be changed without the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares. (A complete list of the
investment limitations that cannot be changed without a vote of shareholders is
contained in the Statement of Additional Information under "Investment
Objectives and Policies.")
The Fund may not:
1. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and then in
an amount not exceeding one-third of the value of the Fund's total assets
(provided that the Fund may invest in reverse repurchase agreements in
accordance with its investment policies and in amounts not in excess of
one-third of the Fund's total assets); or mortgage, pledge or hypothecate
its assets except in connection with any such borrowing and then in an
amount not in excess of one-third of the Fund's total assets at the time of
such borrowing. The Fund will not purchase portfolio securities while
borrowings in excess of 5% of the Fund's total assets are outstanding.
2. Make loans, except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt
obligations in accordance with its investment objective and policies, may
enter into repurchase agreements and may lend portfolio securities against
collateral which is equal at all times to at least 100% of the value of the
securities loaned. Although there is no investment restriction on the
amount of securities that may be loaned, payments received with respect to
securities loans must meet certain requirements under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
PURCHASE PROCEDURES
Fund shares are sold at the net asset value per share next determined after
receipt of a purchase order by PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent. Purchase orders
for shares are accepted by the Fund until 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, only on days
on which both the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of
Philadelphia are open for business (a "Business Day"), and must be transmitted
to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware, by telephone (800-441-7450; in Delaware call
302-791-5350); or through the Fund's computer access program. Purchase orders
received before 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, will be executed the following Business
Day if payment has been received by 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, that day. Orders
for which payment has not been received by 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, on the next
Business Day following receipt of the order will not be accepted and notice
thereof will be given to the institution placing the order. (Payment for orders
which are not received or accepted will be returned after prompt inquiry to the
sending institution.) The Fund may in its discretion reject any order for
shares.
Payment for Fund shares may be made only in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to PNC Bank. The minimum initial investment by an
institution is $5,000; however,
7
<PAGE> 318
broker-dealers and other institutional investors may set a higher minimum for
their customers. There is no minimum subsequent investment.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an institution's receipt of
compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that are invested in Dollar
shares. See also "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations." Institutions,
including banks regulated by the Comptroller of the Currency and investment
advisers and other money managers subject to the jurisdiction of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Department of Labor or state securities
commissions, should consult their legal advisors before investing fiduciary
funds in Dollar shares. (See also "Management of the Fund--Banking Laws.")
REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Redemption orders must be transmitted to PFPC in Wilmington, Delaware in
the manner described under "Purchase Procedures." Redemption orders will be
priced at the net asset value per share determined as of 4:00 P.M., Eastern
time, on the day the order is received and will be executed on the following
Business Day. The proceeds paid to a shareholder upon redemption may be more or
less than the amount invested depending upon a share's net asset value at the
time of redemption.
Payment for redeemed shares is normally made in federal funds wired to the
redeeming shareholder on the next Business Day (the execution date) following
receipt of the order. The Fund reserves the right to wire redemption proceeds
within seven days after receiving the redemption order if, in the judgment of
the Fund's investment adviser, an earlier payment could adversely affect the
Fund.
The Fund shall have the right to redeem shares in any account if the value
of the account is less than $1,000 (for reasons other than a decline in net
asset value of Fund shares) after sixty-days' prior written notice to the
shareholder. Any such redemption shall be effected at the net asset value per
share next determined after the redemption order is entered. If during the sixty
day period the shareholder increases the value of its account to $1,000 or more,
no such redemption shall take place. In addition, the Fund may redeem shares
involuntarily or suspend the right of redemption under certain special
circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Additional Purchase and Redemption Information."
OTHER MATTERS
The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined by PIMC as of 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, on each
day on which both the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and the New York
Stock Exchange are open for business. Currently, one or both of these
institutions are closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day
(observed), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (observed). The net asset value per share of each class of the
Fund is calculated by adding the value of all securities and other assets
belonging to the Fund, subtracting liabilities attributable to each class and
dividing the result by the total number of the Fund's outstanding shares of each
class. The Fund's net asset value per share for purposes of pricing purchase and
redemption orders is determined independently of the net asset values of the
shares of the Company's other investment portfolios.
8
<PAGE> 319
The net asset value of the Fund's shares will fluctuate as the value of its
portfolio changes in response to changing market rates of interest and other
factors. The value of the Fund's portfolio securities can be expected to vary
inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates. Fixed-income obligations
with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields and are generally subject
to potentially greater capital appreciation and depreciation than obligations
with shorter maturities and lower yields. Thus, investing in obligations with
longer maturities will cause greater fluctuations in the Fund's net asset value
than investing in obligations with shorter maturities.
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available
(other than debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less) are
valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices provided
by investment dealers. Other securities and assets for which market quotations
are not readily available are valued at their fair value in the best judgment of
PIMC under procedures established by, and under the supervision of, the
Company's Board of Trustees. Market or fair value may be determined by a matrix
pricing system which is used to determine the value of securities based on
factors such as yield, prices, maturities, call features and ratings on
comparable securities.
Debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued
on an amortized cost basis (unless the Board determines that such basis does not
represent fair value at the time). Under this method, such securities are valued
initially at cost on the date of purchase or, in the case of securities
purchased with more than sixty days to maturity, are valued at their market or
fair value each day until the sixty-first day prior to maturity. Thereafter,
absent unusual circumstances, the Fund assumes a constant proportionate
amortization of any discount or premium until maturity of the security.
Fund shares are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Institutional
investors purchasing or holding Fund shares for their customer accounts may
charge customers fees for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts. A customer should, therefore, consider the terms
of its account with an institution before purchasing Fund shares. An institution
purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf of its customers is responsible for
transmitting orders to the Fund in accordance with its customer agreements.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER
PIMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Asset Management Group, Inc., which
is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, serves as the Fund's
investment adviser. PIMC was organized in 1977 by PNC Bank to perform advisory
services for investment companies and has its principal offices at 400 Bellevue
Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809. PNC Asset Management Group, Inc.'s,
principal business address is 1835 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102. PNC Bank serves as the Fund's sub-adviser. PNC Bank is a wholly owned,
indirect subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. and its principal business address is
Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102. PNC Bank Corp. is
a multi-bank holding company. PIMC and PNC Bank also serve as adviser and
sub-adviser, respectively, to the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash,
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund portfolios.
The Short Government Fund's portfolio manager, William C. Lowry, IV, is the
person primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio's
investments. Mr. Lowry has been with PNC Bank since June 1992 and has been the
portfolio's manager since January 1994. Prior to 1992, Mr. Lowry was
Vice-President and head of fixed income at Midlantic National Bank.
PNC Bank Corp., headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is the eleventh
largest bank holding company in the United States. Categorized as a super
regional bank holding company, PNC Bank Corp. operates over 500 branch offices
in six U.S. states.
PNC Bank's Investment Management and Trust Division, headquartered in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, traces its money management services to individuals
and institutions to the year 1847, and is the second largest bank manager of
investments for individuals in the U.S. with $28 billion in discretionary trust
assets under management.
PNC Financial Services Group is PNC Bank Corp.'s mutual fund complex,
headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. This group includes PIMC, PFPC and PNC
Bank. In 1973, Provident National Bank (predecessor to PNC Bank) commenced
advising the first institutional money market mutual fund--a U.S.
dollar-denominated constant net asset value fund--offered in the United States.
The PNC Financial Services Group is one of the largest U.S. bank managers
of mutual funds with assets currently under management in excess of $30 billion.
This group, through PFPC and PFPC International Ltd., is also a leading mutual
fund service provider having contractual
10
<PAGE> 321
relationships with approximately 400 mutual funds with 3.5 million shareholders
and in excess of $106 billion in assets. This group, through its PNC
Institutional Investment Service, provides investment research to some 250
financial institutions located in the United States and abroad. PNC Bank
provides custodial services for approximately $217 billion in assets, including
$106 billion in mutual fund assets.
As adviser, PIMC manages the Fund's portfolio and is responsible for all
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. PIMC also maintains the
Fund's financial accounts and records and computes the Fund's net asset value
and net income. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the
annual rate of .20% of the Fund's average net assets. Any fees waived or
expenses reimbursed by PIMC and the administrators are not recoverable. For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, PIMC reimbursed Short Government Fund $2,296
for expenses incurred which exceeded the expense cap of .40%. For the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund paid advisory fees aggregating 0% of its
average net assets. Absent fee waivers and expense reimbursements, advisory fees
would have been .20% of the Fund's average net assets.
As sub-adviser, PNC Bank provides research, credit analysis and
recommendations with respect to the Fund's investments, and supplies PIMC with
certain computer facilities, personnel and other services. For its sub-advisory
and other services, PNC Bank is entitled to receive from PIMC an amount equal to
75% of the advisory fee paid by the Fund to PIMC (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances). The sub-advisory fees paid by PIMC to PNC Bank have no
effect on the advisory fees payable by the Fund to PIMC. PNC Bank also serves as
the Fund's custodian. The services provided by PNC Bank and PIMC and the fees
payable by the Fund for these services are described in the Statement of
Additional Information under "Management of the Funds."
ADMINISTRATORS
PFPC whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington,
Delaware 19809, and PDI, whose principal business address is 259 Radnor-Chester
Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087, serve as co-administrators. PFPC is
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. A majority of the
outstanding stock of PDI is owned by its officers. The administrative services
provided by the administrators, which are described more fully in the Statement
of Additional Information under "Management of the Funds," include providing and
supervising the operation of an automated data processing system to process
purchase and redemption orders; assisting in maintaining the Fund's Wilmington,
Delaware office; performing administrative services in connection with the
Fund's computer access program maintained to facilitate shareholder access to
the Fund; accumulating information for and coordinating the preparation of
reports to the Fund's shareholders and the SEC; and maintaining the registration
or qualification of the Fund's shares for sale under state securities laws.
For their administrative services, the administrators are entitled jointly
to receive a fee computed daily and payable monthly, determined in the same
manner as PIMC's advisory fee described above. (For information regarding the
administrators' obligations to waive administrative fees otherwise payable to
them and to reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, see "Investment Adviser
and Sub-Adviser" above.) For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, PFPC and
PDI reimbursed Short Government Fund $2,296 for expenses incurred which exceeded
the
11
<PAGE> 322
expense cap of .40%. The Fund also reimburses each administrator for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Funds'
computer access program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund
paid PFPC and PDI administration fees aggregating 0% of its average net assets.
Absent fee waivers and expense reimbursements, administration fees would have
been .20% of the Fund's average net assets.
PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursing
agent. The transfer agent's address is P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware
19885-9628. The services provided by PFPC and PDI and the fees payable by the
Fund for these services are described in the Statement of Additional Information
under "Management of the Funds."
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Its principal offices are
located at 259 Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087. Fund
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent. The
distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing prospectuses to persons
who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding preparation and printing
expenses necessary for the continued registration of the Fund's shares) and of
printing and distributing all sales literature. No compensation is payable by
the Fund to the distributor for its distribution services.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
Institutional investors, such as banks, savings and loan associations and
other financial institutions, including affiliates of PNC Bank Corp. ("Service
Organizations"), may purchase Dollar shares. Short Government Dollar shares are
identical in all respects to the Company's Short Government shares except that
they bear the service fees described below and enjoy certain exclusive voting
rights on matters relating to these fees. The Fund will enter into an agreement
with each Service Organization which purchases Dollar shares requiring it to
provide support services to its customers who are the beneficial owners of
Dollar shares in consideration of the Fund's payment of .25% (on an annualized
basis) of the average daily net assets of the Dollar shares held by the Service
Organization for the benefit of customers. Such services, which are described
more fully in the Statement of Additional Information under "Management of the
Funds--Service Organizations," include aggregating and processing purchase and
redemption requests from customers and placing net purchase and redemption
orders with PFPC; processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of
customers; providing information periodically to customers showing their
positions in Dollar shares; and providing sub-accounting or the information
necessary for sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares beneficially owned by
customers. Under the terms of the agreements, Service Organizations are required
to provide to their customers a schedule of any fees that they may charge to the
customers relating to the investment of the customers' assets in Dollar shares.
Short Government shares are sold to institutions that have not entered into
servicing agreements with the Fund in connection with their investments.
EXPENSES
Except as noted above and in the Statement of Additional Information under
"Management of the Funds--Custodian and Transfer Agent," the Fund's service
contractors bear all expenses in connection with the performance of their
services. Similarly, the Fund bears the expenses
12
<PAGE> 323
incurred in its operations. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the
Fund's total expenses with respect to Short Government shares and Short
Government Dollar shares (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements of .46%
and .46%, respectively) were .40% and .65% of the average net assets of the
Short Government shares and the Short Government Dollar shares, respectively.
With regard to fees paid exclusively by Dollar shares, see "Service
Organizations" above.
BANKING LAWS
Banking laws and regulations presently prohibit a bank holding company
registered under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or any bank or
non-bank affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company engaged continuously in the issuance of
its shares, and prohibit banks generally from issuing, underwriting, selling or
distributing securities such as Fund shares. Such banking laws and regulations
do not prohibit such a holding company or affiliate or banks generally from
acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such an investment
company, or from purchasing shares of such a company for or upon the order of
customers. PNC Bank, PIMC and PFPC, as well as some Service Organizations, are
subject to such banking laws and regulations, but believe they may perform the
services for the Fund contemplated by their respective agreements, this
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information without violating applicable
banking laws or regulations.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or
restrict the activities of bank Service Organizations in connection with the
provision of support services to their customers, the Fund might be required to
alter or discontinue its arrangements with Service Organizations and change its
method of operations with respect to Dollar shares. It is not anticipated,
however, that any change in the Fund's method of operations would affect its net
asset value per share or result in a financial loss to any customer.
PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
From time to time, performance information such as total return and yield
data for the Fund may be quoted in advertisements or in communications to
shareholders. Total return and yield quotations are computed for Short
Government Dollar shares separately from those for Short Government shares. The
Fund's total return may be calculated on an average annual total return basis,
and may also be calculated on an aggregate total return basis, for various
periods. Average annual total return reflects the average annual percentage
change in value of an investment in the Fund over the measuring period.
Aggregate total return reflects the total percentage change in value over the
measuring period. Both methods of calculating total return assume that dividends
and capital gain distributions made by the Fund during the period are reinvested
in Fund shares.
The yield of the Fund is computed based on its net income during a 30-day
(or one month) period (the particular period will be identified in connection
with a given yield quotation). More specifically, the Fund's yield is computed
by dividing its net income per share during a 30-day (or one month) period by
the net asset value per share on the last day of the period and annualizing the
result on a semiannual basis.
The total return and yield of the Fund may be compared to those of other
mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to bond and other relevant
indices or to rankings prepared by independent services or other financial or
industry publications that monitor the performance of mutual funds. For example,
the total return and yield of the Fund's shares may be compared to
13
<PAGE> 324
data prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Total return and yield data as
reported in national financial publications such as Money Magazine, Forbes,
Barron's, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, or in publications of
a local or regional nature, may also be used in comparing the performance of the
Fund.
Performance quotations of the Fund represent the Fund's past performance
will fluctuate, and should not be considered as representative of future
results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund
will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost. Any fees charged by Service Organizations or
other institutional investors directly to their customer accounts in connection
with investments in Fund shares are not reflected in the Fund's calculations of
total return and yield; and, such fees, if charged, would reduce the actual
total return and yield received by customers on their investments. The methods
used to compute the Fund's total return and yield are described in more detail
in the Statement of Additional Information.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to dividends and distributions
arising only from the net investment income and capital gains, if any, earned on
its investments. The Fund's net investment income is declared daily as a
dividend to its shareholders of record at the close of business on the day of
declaration. Shares begin accruing dividends on the day the purchase order for
the shares is executed and continue to accrue dividends through, and including,
the day before the redemption order for the shares is executed. Dividends are
paid monthly by check, or by wire transfer if requested in writing by the
shareholder, within five business days after the end of the month or within five
business days after a redemption of all of a shareholder's shares of a
particular class.
Dividends are determined in the same manner for each share of the Fund.
Dollar shares bear all the expense of fees paid to Service Organizations. As a
result, at any given time, the net yield on Short Government Dollar shares is
approximately .25% lower than the net yield on Short Government shares.
Institutional shareholders may elect to have their dividends reinvested in
additional full and fractional shares of the same class of shares with respect
to which such dividends are declared at the net asset value of such shares on
the payment date. Reinvested dividends receive the same tax treatment as
dividends paid in cash. Such election, or any revocation thereof, must be made
in writing to PFPC at P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware 19885-9628, and will
become effective after its receipt by PFPC with respect to dividends paid.
The Fund expects to distribute at least once each year any net realized
short and long-term capital gains. Distributions will reduce the Fund's net
asset value by the amount of the distribution.
PFPC, as transfer agent, will send each Fund shareholder or its authorized
representative an annual statement designating the amount, if any, of any
dividends and distributions made during each year and their federal tax
qualification.
14
<PAGE> 325
TAXES
The Fund qualified in its last taxable year and intends to qualify in
future years as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A regulated investment company is generally
exempt from federal income tax on amounts distributed to its shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that the Fund distribute to its
shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for such
year. In general, the Fund's investment company taxable income will be its
taxable income (including interest and short-term capital gains, if any),
subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net long-term
capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital loss, if any,
for such year. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
investment company taxable income each year. Such distributions will be taxable
as ordinary income to the Fund's shareholders that are not currently exempt from
federal income taxes, whether such income is received in cash or reinvested in
additional shares. (Federal income taxes for distributions to an IRA or a
qualified retirement plan are deferred under the Code.) It is anticipated that
none of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the dividends received
deduction for corporations.
Substantially all of the Fund's net realized long-term capital gains, if
any, will be distributed at least annually to Fund shareholders. The Fund
generally will have no tax liability with respect to such gains and the
distributions will be taxable to Fund shareholders who are not currently exempt
from federal income taxes as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long the
shareholders have held Fund shares and whether such gains are received in cash
or reinvested in additional shares.
Dividends declared in October, November or December of any year payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such months will be deemed to have
been received by the shareholders and paid by the Fund on December 31 of such
year, in the event such dividends are actually paid during January of the
following year.
A taxable gain or loss may be realized by a shareholder upon the
redemption, transfer or exchange of Fund shares depending upon the cost of such
shares when purchased and their price at the time of redemption, transfer or
exchange.
The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. As indicated
above, IRAs receive special tax treatment. No attempt is made to present a
detailed explanation of the federal, state or local income tax treatment of the
Fund or its shareholders and this discussion is not intended as a substitute for
careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the Fund should
consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND MISCELLANEOUS
The Company is a Pennsylvania business trust established on May 14, 1975.
Effective March 2, 1987, the Company's name was changed from Trust for
Short-Term Federal Securities to Trust for Federal Securities. The Company
commenced operations of the Fund in April, 1987.
The Company's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares into one or
more additional classes of shares. Pursuant to such authority, the Board of
Trustees has authorized the issuance of fourteen classes of shares designated as
FedFund, FedFund Dollar, T-Fund, T-Fund Dollar, FedCash, FedCash Dollar, T-Cash,
T-Cash Dollar, Federal Trust, Federal Trust Dollar, Treasury Trust, Treasury
Trust Dollar, Short Government and Short Government Dollar. The Declaration of
Trust further authorizes the trustees to classify or reclassify any class of
shares into one or more sub-classes.
THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCORPORATED
HEREIN RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE FUND AND DESCRIBE ONLY THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE FUND.
INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S FEDFUND,
T-FUND, FEDCASH, T-CASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND, AND TREASURY TRUST FUND PORTFOLIOS
MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE PORTFOLIOS BY CALLING THE
DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-998-7633.
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings of
shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The
Company will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a member of the Board of Trustees upon written request of
shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company
entitled to vote.
Each Short Government share and Short Government Dollar share represents an
equal proportionate interest in the assets belonging to the Fund. Each share is
without par value and has no preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for
payment as described in this Prospectus, shares will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
Holders of the Company's Short Government shares and Short Government
Dollar shares will vote in the aggregate and not by class or sub-class on all
matters, except where otherwise required by law and except that only Dollar
shares will be entitled to vote on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders
pertaining to the Fund's arrangements with Service Organizations. Further,
shareholders of all of the Company's portfolios will vote in the aggregate and
not by portfolio except as otherwise required by law or when the Board of
Trustees determines that the matter to be voted upon affects only the interests
of the shareholders of a particular portfolio. (See the Statement of Additional
Information under "Additional Description Concerning Fund Shares" for examples
where the 1940 Act requires voting by portfolio.) Shareholders of the Company
are entitled to one vote for each full share held (irrespective of class or
portfolio) and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are
not cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate
shares of the Company may elect all of the trustees. As of January 31, 1995,
Industrico held of record approximately 63.27% of the shares of the Fund.

For information concerning the redemption of Fund shares and possible
restrictions on their transferability, see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares."
As stated above, the Company is organized as a trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for the
obligations of the trust. The Company's Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of the trust property of any shareholder of the Fund held
personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder and not
because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.

This Statement of Additional Information is meant to be read
in conjunction with the Prospectus for Short Government Fund dated February 28,
1995 and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into that Prospectus.
Because this Statement of Additional Information is not itself a prospectus, no
investment in shares of Short Government Fund should be made solely upon the
information contained herein. Copies of the Prospectus for Short Government
Fund may be obtained by calling 800-821-7432. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein have the same meanings as in the Prospectus.
<PAGE> 332
THE COMPANY
Trust for Federal Securities (Trust for Short-Term Federal
Securities prior to March 2, 1987) is a no-load, diversified, open-end
investment company. Trust for Federal Securities (the "Company") consists of
seven separate investment portfolios--Short Government Fund, FedFund, T-Fund,
FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund. Until September
7, 1988, Short Government Fund was known as "ShortFed Fund." This Statement of
Additional Information relates primarily to the Company's Short Government Fund
portfolio (the "Fund").
Substantially all of the assets of the Fund are invested in
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities having remaining maturities of 5-1/4 years or less at the
time of purchase and repurchase agreements relating to such obligations
(although collateral for repurchase agreements may have longer maturities).
THIS STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND THE FUND'S
PROSPECTUS RELATES PRIMARILY TO SHORT GOVERNMENT FUND AND DESCRIBES ONLY THE
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES, OPERATIONS, CONTRACTS, AND OTHER MATTERS
RELATING TO THIS FUND. INVESTORS WISHING TO OBTAIN SIMILAR INFORMATION
REGARDING FEDFUND, T-FUND, FEDCASH, T-CASH, FEDERAL TRUST FUND OR TREASURY
TRUST FUND MAY OBTAIN SEPARATE PROSPECTUSES DESCRIBING THOSE PORTFOLIOS BY
CALLING THE DISTRIBUTOR AT 800-821-7432.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
As stated in the Fund's Prospectus, the investment objective
of the Fund is to seek a high level of current income consistent with prudent
investment risk. The following policies supplement the description in the
Prospectus of the investment objective and policies of the Fund.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Subject to the general control of the Company's Board of
Trustees, PIMC, the Fund's investment adviser, is responsible for, makes
decisions with respect to and places orders for all purchases and sales of
portfolio securities for the Fund. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities
are usually principal transactions without brokerage commissions. In making
portfolio investments, PIMC seeks to obtain the best net price and the most
favorable execution of orders. To the extent that the execution and price
offered by more than one dealer is comparable, PIMC
-2-
<PAGE> 333
may, in its discretion, effect transactions in portfolio securities with
dealers who provide the Company with research advice or other services.
Research advice and other services furnished by brokers through whom the Fund
effects securities transactions may be used by PIMC in servicing accounts in
addition to the Fund, and not all such services will necessarily benefit the
Fund.
Transactions in the over-the-counter market are generally
principal transactions with dealers and the costs of such transactions involve
dealer spreads rather than brokerage commissions. With respect to
over-the-counter transactions, the Fund, where possible, will deal directly
with the dealers who make a market in the securities involved except in those
circumstances where better prices and execution are available elsewhere.
Investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from
those for other investment company portfolios or accounts advised or managed by
PIMC. Such other portfolios may invest in the same securities as the Fund.
When purchases or sales of the same security are made at substantially the same
time on behalf of such other portfolios, transactions are averaged as to price,
and available investments allocated as to amount, in a manner which PIMC
believes to be equitable to each portfolio, including the Fund. In some
instances, this investment procedure may adversely affect the price paid or
received by the Fund or the size of the position obtained for the Fund. To the
extent permitted by law, PIMC may aggregate the securities to be sold or
purchased for the Fund with those to be sold or purchased for such other
investment company portfolios in order to obtain best execution.
Portfolio securities will not be purchased from or sold to and
the Fund will not enter into repurchase agreements or reverse repurchase
agreements with PIMC, PNC, PFPC, Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI" or the
"Distributor"), or any affiliated person (as such term is defined in the 1940
Act) of any of them, except to the extent permitted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Furthermore, with respect to such
transactions, securities, deposits and repurchase agreements, the Fund will not
give preference to Service Organizations with whom the Fund enters into
agreements concerning the provision of support services to customers who
beneficially own Short Government Dollar shares ("Dollar shares"). (See the
Prospectuses, "Management of the Fund--Service Organizations.")
-3-
<PAGE> 334
The Fund does not intend to seek profits through short-term
trading. The annual portfolio turnover rate for the Short Government Fund for
the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994 was 362%. The annual portfolio turnover
rate for the Short Government Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993
was 66%. The annual portfolio turnover rate for the Short Government Fund for
fiscal year ended October 31, 1992 was 27%. The annual portfolio turnover rate
for the Short Government Fund is not normally expected to exceed 100%. A
higher portfolio turnover rate would result in correspondingly higher
transaction costs, which would be borne by the Fund and ultimately by its
shareholders. High portfolio turnover may result in the realization of
substantial net capital gains; any distributions derived from such gains are
treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. (See "Taxes" in
the Prospectus.)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The repurchase price under the repurchase agreements described
in the Fund's Prospectus generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus
interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates (which may be more
or less than the rate on the securities underlying the repurchase agreement).
Securities subject to repurchase agreements will be held by the Fund's
custodian, sub-custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.
Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by the Fund under the 1940
Act.
Whenever the Fund enters into reverse repurchase agreements as
described in its Prospectus, they will place in a segregated custodial account
liquid assets having a value equal to the repurchase price (including accrued
interest) and will subsequently monitor the account to ensure such equivalent
value is maintained. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be
borrowings by the Fund under the 1940 Act.
As stated in the Fund's Prospectus, the Fund may purchase
securities on a "when-issued" basis (i.e., for delivery beyond the normal
settlement date at a stated price and yield). When the Fund agrees to purchase
when-issued securities, its custodian will set aside cash or liquid portfolio
securities equal to the amount of the commitment in a separate account.
Normally, the custodian will set aside portfolio securities to satisfy a
purchase commitment, and in such a case the Fund may be required subsequently
to place additional assets in the separate account in order to ensure that the
value of the account remains equal to the amount of the Fund's commitment. It
may be expected that the Fund's net assets will fluctuate to a greater degree
when it sets aside portfolio securities to cover such purchase
-4-
<PAGE> 335
commitments than when it sets aside cash. Because the Fund will set aside cash
or liquid assets to satisfy the purchase commitments in the manner described,
the Fund's liquidity and ability to manage its portfolio might be affected in
the event its commitments to purchase when-issued securities ever exceeded 25%
of the value of its assets. The Fund does not intend to purchase when-issued
securities for speculative purposes but only in furtherance of its investment
objectives. The Fund reserves the right to sell the securities before the
settlement date if it is deemed advisable.
When the Fund engages in when-issued transactions, it relies
on the seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may
result in the Fund incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to obtain a price
considered to be advantageous.
With respect to loans by the Fund of the portfolio securities
as described in its Prospectus, the Fund would continue to accrue interest on
loaned securities and would also earn income on loans. Any cash collateral
received by the Fund in connection with such loans would be invested in U.S.
government obligations.
The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities, including
those representing an undivided ownership interest in a pool of mortgages, such
as certificates of the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and
the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). These certificates are
in most cases pass-through instruments, through which the holder receives a
share of all interest and principal payments from the mortgages underlying the
certificate, net of certain fees. The average life of a mortgage-backed
security varies with the underlying mortgage instruments, which have maximum
maturities of 40 years. The average life is likely to be substantially less
than the original maturity of the mortgage pools underlying the securities as
the result of prepayments, mortgage refinancings or foreclosure. Mortgage
prepayment rates are affected by factors including the level of interest rates,
general economic conditions, the location and age of the mortgage and other
social and demographic conditions. Such prepayments are passed through to the
registered holder with the regular monthly payments of principal and interest
and have the effect of reducing future payments. Due to the GNMA guarantee,
foreclosures impose no risk to principal investments.
Government securities that have variable or floating interest
rates or demand or put features with nominal remaining maturities in excess of
the Fund's maximum permitted remaining
-5-
<PAGE> 336
maturity may nonetheless be deemed to have remaining maturities within the
maximum so as to be permissible investments for the Fund as follows: (i) a
government security with a variable or floating rate of interest will be deemed
to have a maturity equal to the period remaining until the next readjustment of
the interest rate; (ii) a government security with a demand or put feature that
entitles the holder to receive the principal amount of the underlying security
at the time of or sometime after the holder gives notice of demand or exercise
of the put will be deemed to have a maturity equal to the period remaining
until the principal amount can be recovered through demand or exercise of the
put; and (iii) a government security with both a variable or floating rate of
interest as described in clause (i) and a demand or put feature as described in
clause (ii) will be deemed to have a maturity equal to the shorter of the
period remaining until the next readjustment of the interest rate or the period
remaining until the principal amount can be recovered through demand.
The Fund will not invest more than 10% of the value of its
assets in investments which are not readily marketable at the time of purchase
or subsequent valuation. Securities for purposes of this limitation do not
include securities which have been determined to be liquid by the Fund's Board
of Trustees based upon the trading markets for such securities.
In addition, although there is no current intention to do so,
the Fund may purchase and sell interest rate futures contracts, options on
interest rate futures and options relating to securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The Fund will not
enter into any such transaction without providing advance notice to its
shareholders nor without providing additional information in its Prospectus and
obtaining any necessary approvals from state regulatory agencies.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The Fund's Prospectus summarizes certain investment
limitations that may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders
of a "majority of the outstanding shares" of the Fund (as defined below under
"Miscellaneous"). Below is a complete list of the Fund's investment
limitations that may not be changed without such a vote of shareholders.
The Fund may not:
1. Borrow money except from banks for temporary purposes and
then only in an amount not exceeding one-third of the value of the Fund's total
assets at the time of such
-6-
<PAGE> 337
borrowing (provided that the Fund may invest in reverse repurchase agreements
in accordance with its investment policies and in amounts not in excess of
one-third of the Fund's total assets). This limitation is not for investment
leverage purposes but is solely to facilitate management of the Fund by
enabling the Fund to meet redemption requests when the liquidation of portfolio
instruments is deemed to be disadvantageous. If due to market fluctuations or
other reasons the total assets of the Fund fall below 300% of its borrowings,
the Fund will reduce its borrowings in accordance with the 1940 Act. To do
this, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investments at a time when it
may be disadvantageous to do so. For purposes of this limitation neither the
arrangements referred to in limitation (3) below nor the purchase or sale of
futures contracts or related options shall be considered to involve the
borrowing of money. The Fund will not purchase portfolio securities while
borrowings in excess of 5% of the Fund's total assets are outstanding.
2. Make loans except that the Fund may purchase or hold debt
obligations in accordance with its investment objective and policies, may enter
into repurchase agreements, and may lend portfolio securities against
collateral which is equal at all times to at least 100% of the market value of
the securities loaned.
3. Mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets except to
secure permitted borrowings and then only in an amount not exceeding one-third
of the value of its total assets at the time of such borrowing. For purposes
of this limitation, collateral arrangements with respect to the writing of
options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and collateral
arrangements with respect to initial and variation margin are not considered to
be a mortgage, pledge or hypothecation of assets.
4. Purchase any security on margin except that the Fund may
obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
transactions and may purchase when-issued securities. The payment or deposit
by the Fund of initial or variation margin in connection with futures contracts
or related option transactions is not considered the purchase of a security on
margin.
5. Make short sales of securities or maintain a short
position unless at all times when a short position is open the Fund owns an
equal amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable
for, without payment of any further consideration, securities of the same issue
as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short.
-7-
<PAGE> 338
6. Purchase or sell real estate, provided that the Fund may
invest in securities secured by real estate or interests therein.
7. Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, or
invest in oil, gas, mineral exploration or development programs, except that
the Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts and related options.
8. Invest in securities of other investment companies, except
as they may be acquired as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of
assets and except to the extent otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act.
9. Act as underwriter of securities, except insofar as the
Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in selling
its securities and except to the extent that the purchase of securities
directly from the issuer thereof in accordance with the Fund's investment
objective, policies and limitations may be deemed to be underwriting.
In order to permit the sale of Fund shares in certain states,
the Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the investment policies and
limitations above. Should the Fund determine that any such commitment is no
longer in its best interests, it will revoke the commitment by terminating
sales of its shares in the state involved.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
IN GENERAL
Information on how to purchase and redeem the Fund's shares is
included in its Prospectus. The issuance of shares is recorded on the books of
the Fund, and share certificates are not issued unless expressly requested in
writing. Certificates are not issued for fractional shares.
The regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency provide
that the fund held in a fiduciary capacity by a national bank approved by the
Comptroller to exercise fiduciary powers must be invested in accordance with
the instrument establishing the fiduciary relationship and local law. The
Company believes that the purchase of Short Government shares by such national
banks acting on behalf of their fiduciary accounts is not contrary to
applicable regulations if consistent with the particular account and proper
under the law governing the administration of the account.
-8-
<PAGE> 339
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to an
institution's receipt of compensation paid by the Fund on fiduciary funds that
are invested in Dollar shares. Institutions, including banks regulated by the
Comptroller of the Currency and investment advisers and other money managers
subject to the jurisdiction of the SEC, the Department of Labor or state
securities commissions, should consult their legal advisors before investing
fiduciary funds in Dollar shares.
Prior to effecting a redemption of shares represented by
certificates, PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent, must have received such
certificates at its principal office. All such certificates must be endorsed
by the redeeming shareholder or accompanied by a signed stock power, in each
instance with the signature guaranteed by a commercial bank, a member of a
major stock exchange or other eligible guarantor institution, unless other
arrangements satisfactory to the Fund has previously been made. The Fund may
require any additional information reasonably necessary to evidence that a
redemption has been duly authorized.
Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may suspend the right of
redemption or postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period
during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary
weekend and holiday closings, or during which trading on said Exchange is
restricted, or during which (as determined by the SEC by rule or regulation) an
emergency exists as a result of which disposal or valuation of portfolio
securities is not reasonably practicable, or for such other periods as the SEC
may permit. (The Fund may also suspend or postpone the recordation of the
transfer of their shares upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing
conditions.)
In addition, the Fund may redeem shares involuntarily in
certain other instances if the Board of Trustees determines that failure to
redeem may have material adverse consequences to the Fund's shareholders in
general. The Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to $250,000
or 1% of the Fund's net asset value, whichever is less, for any one shareholder
within a 90-day period. Any redemption beyond this amount will also be in cash
unless the Board of Trustees determines that conditions exist which make
payment of redemption proceeds wholly in cash unwise or undesirable. In such a
case, the Fund may make payment wholly or partly in securities or other
property, valued in the same way as the Fund determines net asset value. (See
"Net Asset Value" below for an example of when such redemption or form of
payment might be appropriate.) Redemption in kind is not as liquid as a cash
redemption. Shareholders who receive a redemption in kind may incur
transaction costs if they sell such
-9-
<PAGE> 340
securities or property, and may receive less than the redemption value of such
securities or property upon sale, particularly where such securities are sold
prior to maturity.
Any institution purchasing shares on behalf of separate
accounts will be required to hold the shares in a single nominee name (a
"Master Account"). Institutions investing in more than one of the Company's
portfolios or classes of shares must maintain a separate Master Account for
each portfolio and class of shares. Institutions may also arrange with PFPC
for certain sub-accounting services (such as purchase, redemption and dividend
record keeping). Sub-accounts may be established by name or number either when
the Master Account is opened or later.
NET ASSET VALUE
As stated in the Fund's Prospectus, the Fund's net asset value
per share is calculated by adding the value of all of the Fund's portfolio
securities and other assets belonging to the Fund, subtracting the liabilities
charged to the Fund and to each class, and dividing the result by the total
number of the Fund's shares outstanding (by class). "Assets belonging to" the
Fund consist of the consideration received upon the issuance of shares together
with all income, earnings, profits and proceeds derived from the investment
thereof, including any proceeds from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such
investments, any fund or payment derived from any reinvestment of such
proceeds, and a portion of any general assets of the Company not belonging to
the portfolio. Assets belonging to the Fund are charged with the direct
liabilities of the Fund and with a share of the general liabilities of the
Company allocated in proportion to the relative net assets of the Fund and the
Company's other portfolios. Determinations made in good faith and in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by the Board of
Trustees as to the allocations of any assets or liabilities with respect to the
Fund are conclusive.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
In addition to the information set forth below, the Company's

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND SUB-ADVISER
The advisory and sub-advisory services provided by PIMC and
PNC, as well as the fees payable to them, are described in the Fund's
Prospectus. For the advisory services provided and expenses assumed by it,
PIMC is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on
the average net assets of the Fund. (See "Management of the Fund--Investment
Adviser and Sub-Adviser" in the Fund's Prospectus for the fee schedule.)
PIMC and the administrators have agreed that if, in any fiscal
year, the expenses borne by the Fund exceed the applicable expense limitations
imposed by the securities regulations of any state in which shares of the Fund
are registered or qualified for sale to the public, they will each reimburse
the Fund for one-half of any excess to the extent required by such regulations.
Unless otherwise required by law, such reimbursement would be accrued and paid
on the same basis that the advisory and administration fees are accrued and
paid by the Fund. To the Fund's knowledge, of the expense limitations in
effect on the date of this Statement of Additional Information, none is more
restrictive than two and one-half percent (2-1/2%) of the first $30 million of
a Fund's average annual net assets, two percent (2%) of the next $70 million of
the average annual net assets and one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the
remaining average annual net assets.
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994,
the Company paid fees (net of waivers) for advisory services aggregating
$8,554, $2,544 and $0 with respect to the Fund. For the same fiscal years,
PIMC voluntarily waived advisory fees aggregating $18,704, $12,714 and $13,299
with respect to the Fund. Any fees waived by PIMC are not recoverable. PIMC
and PNC also serve as the adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to the
Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury
Trust Fund portfolios.
BANKING LAWS
Certain banking laws and regulations with respect to
investment companies are discussed in the Fund's Prospectus. PIMC, PNC and
PFPC believe that they may perform the services for the Fund contemplated by
the agreements, Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information without
violation of applicable banking laws or regulations. It should be noted,
however, that future changes in legal requirements relating to the permissible
activities of banks and their affiliates, as well as further interpretations of
present requirements, could prevent PIMC and PFPC from continuing to perform
such services for the Fund and PNC from continuing to perform such services for
PIMC
-16-
<PAGE> 347
and the Fund. If PIMC, PFPC, or PNC were prohibited from continuing to perform
such services, it is expected that the Company's Board of Trustees would
recommend that the Fund enter into new agreements with other qualified firms.
Any new advisory agreement would be subject to shareholder approval.
In addition, state securities laws on this issue may differ
from the interpretations of federal law expressed herein and banks and
financial institutions may be required to register as dealers pursuant to State
law.
ADMINISTRATOR
As the Fund's administrators, PFPC and PDI have agreed to
provide the following services: (i) assist generally in supervising the Fund's
operations, including providing a Wilmington, Delaware order-taking facility
with toll-free IN-WATS telephone lines, providing for the preparing,
supervising and mailing of purchase and redemption order confirmations to
shareholders of record, providing and supervising the operation of an automated
data processing system to process purchase and redemption orders, maintaining a
back-up procedure to reconstruct lost purchase and redemption data, providing
information concerning the Fund to its shareholders of record, handling
shareholder problems, supervising the services of employees, provided by PDI,
whose principal responsibility and function is to preserve and strengthen
shareholder relations, and monitoring the arrangements pertaining to the Fund's
agreements with Service Organizations; (ii) assure that persons are available
to receive and transmit purchase and redemption orders; (iii) participate in
the periodic updating of the Fund's Prospectus and Registration Statement; (iv)
assist in maintaining the Fund's Wilmington, Delaware office; (v) perform
administrative services in connection with the Fund's computer access program
maintained to facilitate shareholder access to the Fund; (vi) accumulate
information for and coordinate the preparation of reports to the Fund's
shareholders and the SEC; (vii) maintain the registration or qualification of
the Fund's shares for sale under state securities laws; (viii) prepare or
review, and provide advice with respect to, all sales literature
(advertisements, brochures and shareholder communications) for the fund and any
class or sub-class thereof; and (ix) assist in the monitoring of regulatory and
legislative developments which may affect the Company, participate in
counseling and assisting the Company in relation to routine regulatory
examinations and investigations, and work with the Company's counsel in
conversion with regulatory matters and litigation.
The administrative services provided and the expenses assumed
by the administrators, as well as the fees payable to it, are described in the
Fund's Prospectus. As stated in the
-17-
<PAGE> 348
Prospectus, the administrator is also reimbursed for its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Fund's computer access
program. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1992, the Company paid fees
(net of waivers) for administrative services to its former administrator, The
Boston Company Advisors, Inc. ("Boston Advisors"), aggregating $8,554 with
respect to the Fund. For the same fiscal year, Boston Advisors voluntarily
waived administrative fees aggregating $18,704 with respect to the Fund. For
the period from November 1, 1992 through January 17, 1993 the Company paid fees
(net of waivers) to its former administrator, The Boston Company Advisors
totalling $2,308 with respect to the Fund. Administration fees totalling
$3,899 for the Fund were waived by Boston Advisors during this period. For the
period from January 18, 1993 through October 31, 1993, the Company paid fees
(net of waivers) for administrative services to PFPC and to MFD, its
administrators, aggregating $2,543 with respect to the Fund. For the same
period, administration fees of $10,381 with respect to the Fund were
voluntarily waived.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Fund paid no
fees for administrative services to PFPC and PDI.
For information regarding the administrator's obligations to
reimburse the Fund in the event its expenses exceed certain prescribed limits,
see "Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser" above. PFPC, a wholly owned, indirect
subsidiary of PNC, provides advisory, administrative or, in some cases,
sub-advisory and/or sub-administrative services to investment companies which
are distributed by PDI. PFPC and PDI also serve as co-administrators of the
Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury
Trust Fund portfolios.
DISTRIBUTOR
PDI acts as the distributor of the Fund's shares. The Fund's
shares are sold on a continuous basis by the distributor as agent, although it
is not obliged to sell any particular amount of shares. PDI will prepare or
review, provide advice with respect to, and file with the federal and state
agencies or other organization as required by federal, state, or other
applicable laws and regulations, all sales literature (advertisements,
brochures and shareholder communications) for the Fund and any class or
sub-class thereof. The distributor pays the cost of printing and distributing
prospectuses to persons who are not shareholders of the Fund (excluding
preparation and printing expenses necessary for the continued registration of
Fund shares) and of preparing, printing and distributing all sales literature.
No compensation is payable by the Fund to the distributor for its distribution
services. PDI also serves as the distributor for the Company's FedFund,
T-Fund,
-18-
<PAGE> 349
FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund portfolios. PDI is
a Delaware Corporation, with its principal place of business located at 259
Radnor-Chester Road, Suite 120, Radnor, Pennsylvania 19087.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT
Pursuant to a Custodian Agreement, PNC serves as the Fund's
custodian. Under the Agreement, PNC has agreed to provide the following
services: (i) maintain a separate account or accounts in the name of the Fund;
(ii) hold and disburse portfolio securities on account of the Fund; (iii)
collect and make disbursements of money on behalf of the Fund; (iv) collect and
receive all income and other payments and distributions on account of the
Fund's portfolio securities; and (v) make periodic reports to the Board of
Trustees concerning the Fund's operations. The Custodian Agreement permits
PNC, on 30 days' notice, to assign its rights and delegate its duties
thereunder to any other affiliate of PNC or PNC Bank Corp., provided that PNC
remains responsible for the performance of the delegate under the Custodian
Agreement.
The Fund reimburses PNC for its direct and indirect costs and
expenses incurred in rendering custodial services. Under the Custodian
Agreement, the Fund pays PNC an annual fee equal to $.25 for each $1,000 of the
Fund's average daily gross assets, which fee declines as the Fund's average
daily gross assets increase. In addition, the Fund pays the custodian a fee
for each purchase, sale or delivery of a security, interest collection or claim
item, and reimburses PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses incurred on behalf of the
Fund. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the Company
paid fees for custodian services pursuant to custodian agreements then in
effect aggregating $6,102, $4,627 and $4,376 with respect to the Fund. PNC
also serves as custodian for the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash,
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund portfolios. PNC's principal
business address is Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19102.
PFPC also serves as the Fund's transfer agent, registrar and
dividend disbursing agent pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement. Under the
agreement, PFPC has agreed to provide the following services: (i) maintain a
separate account or accounts in the name of the Fund; (ii) issue, transfer and
redeem shares of the Fund; (iii) disburse dividends and distributions, in the
manner described in the Fund's Prospectus, to shareholders of the Fund; (iv)
transmit all communications by the Fund to its shareholders or its authorized
representatives, including reports to shareholders, distribution and dividend
notices and proxy materials for meetings of shareholders; (v) prepare and file
with the appropriate taxing authorities
-19-
<PAGE> 350
reports or notices relating to dividends and distributions made by the Fund;
(vi) respond to correspondence by shareholders, security brokers and others
relating to its duties; (vii) maintain shareholder accounts; and (viii) make
periodic reports to the Company's Board of Trustees concerning the Fund's
operations. The Transfer Agency Agreement permits PFPC, on 30-days' notice, to
assign its rights and duties thereunder to any other affiliate of PNC or PNC
Bank Corp., provided that PFPC remains responsible for the performance of the
delegate under the Transfer Agency Agreement.
Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, the Fund pays PFPC fees
at an annual rate of $12.00 per account and sub-account maintained by PFPC
plus $1.00 for each purchase or redemption transaction by an account (other
than a purchase transaction made in connection with the automatic reinvestment
of dividends). Payments to PFPC for sub-accounting services provided by others
are limited to the amount which PFPC pays to others for such services. In
addition, the Fund reimburses PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses related to such
services. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994, the
Company paid fees for transfer agency services aggregating $1,503, $1,926 and
$2,077 with respect to the Fund. PFPC also serves as transfer agent, registrar
and dividend disbursing agent for the Company's FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash,
T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund.
SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
As stated in the Fund's Prospectus, the Fund will enter into
an agreement with each Service Organization which purchases Dollar shares
requiring it to provide support services to its customers who beneficially own
Dollar shares in consideration of the Fund's payment of .25% (on an annualized
basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Dollar shares held by the
Service Organization for the benefit of customers. Such services include: (i)
aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests from customers and
placing net purchase and redemption orders with the transfer agent; (ii)
providing customers with a service that invests the assets of their accounts in
Dollar shares; (iii) processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of
customers; (iv) providing information periodically to customers showing their
positions in Dollar shares; (v) arranging for bank wires; (vi) responding to
customer inquiries relating to the services performed by the Service
Organization; (vii) providing sub-accounting with respect to Dollar shares
beneficially owned by customers or the information necessary for sub-
accounting; (viii) forwarding shareholder communications from the Fund (such as
proxies, shareholder reports, annual and semi-annual financial statements and
dividend, distribution and tax notices) to customers, if required by law; and
(ix) other similar
-20-
<PAGE> 351
services if requested by the Fund. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994,
no servicing fees were paid to an affiliate of the Company's adviser.
The Fund's agreements with Service Organizations are governed
by a Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan") that has been adopted by the
Company's Board of Trustees pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the SEC
in connection with the creation of the Dollar shares. Pursuant to each Plan,
the Board of Trustees reviews, at least quarterly, a written report of the
amounts expended under the Fund's agreements with Service Organizations and the
purposes for which the expenditures were made. In addition, the Fund's
arrangements with Service Organizations must be approved annually by a majority
of the Company's trustees, including a majority of the trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Company as defined in the 1940 Act and have no
direct or indirect financial interest in such arrangements (the "Disinterested
Trustees").
The Board of Trustees has approved the Fund's arrangements
with Service Organizations based on information provided by the Fund's service
contractors that there is a reasonable likelihood that the arrangements will
benefit the Fund and its shareholders by affording the Fund greater flexibility
in connection with the servicing of the accounts of the beneficial owners of
its shares in an efficient manner. Any material amendment to the Fund's
arrangements with Service Organizations must be approved by a majority of the
Company's Board of Trustees (including a majority of the Disinterested
Trustees). So long as the Fund's arrangements with Service Organizations are
in effect, the selection and nomination of the members of the Company's Board
of Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of
the Company will be committed to the discretion of such non-interested
trustees.
EXPENSES
The Fund's expenses include taxes, interest, fees and salaries
of the Company's trustees and officers, SEC fees, state securities
qualification fees, costs of preparing and printing prospectuses for regulatory
purposes and for distribution to shareholders, advisory and administration
fees, charges of the custodian, transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent,
Service Organization fees, certain insurance premiums, outside auditing and
legal expenses, costs of the Fund's computer access program, costs of
shareholder reports and shareholder meetings and any extraordinary expenses.
The Fund also pays for brokerage fees and commissions (if any) in connection
with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES
The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in the
Fund's Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the
tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders or possible legislative changes,
and the discussion here and in the Fund's Prospectus is not intended as a
substitute for careful tax planning. Investors should consult their tax
advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.
The Fund is treated as a separate corporate entity under the
Code and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under
the Code. In order to so qualify for a taxable year, the Fund must satisfy the
distribution requirement described in its Prospectus, derive at least 90% of
its gross income for the year from certain qualifying sources, comply with
certain diversification requirements, and derive less than 30% of its gross
income from the sale or other disposition of securities and certain other
investments held for less than three months. Interest (including original
issue discount and accrued market discount) received by the Fund upon maturity
or disposition of a security held for less than three months will not be
treated as gross income derived from the sale or other disposition of such
security within the meaning of this requirement. However, any other income
that is attributable to realized market appreciation will be treated as gross
income from the sale or other disposition of securities for this purpose.
The Fund will designate any distribution of long-term capital
gains as a capital gain dividend in a written notice mailed to shareholders
within 60 days after the close of the Fund's taxable year. Shareholders should
note that, upon the sale or exchange of Fund shares, if the shareholder has not
held such shares for more than six months, any loss on the sale or exchange of
those shares will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the
capital gain dividends received with respect to the shares.
Ordinary income of individuals is taxable at a maximum nominal
rate of 39.6%, but because of limitations on itemized deductions otherwise
allowable and the phase-out of personal exemptions, the maximum effective
marginal rate of tax for some taxpayers may be higher. An individual's
long-term capital gains are taxable at a maximum nominal rate of 28%. For
corporations long-term capital gains and ordinary income are both taxable at a
maximum nominal rate of 35% (or at a maximum effective marginal rate of 39% in
the case of corporations having taxable income between $100,000 and $335,000).
-22-
<PAGE> 353
A shareholder considering buying shares of the Fund on or just
before the record date of a dividend should be aware that the amount of the
forthcoming dividend payment, although in effect a return of capital, will be
taxable.
A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated
investment companies that fail to distribute currently an amount equal to
specified percentages of their ordinary taxable income and capital gain net
income (excess of capital gains over capital losses). The Fund intends to make
sufficient distributions or deemed distributions of its ordinary taxable income
and any capital gain net income each calendar year to avoid liability for this
excise tax.
Because all of the Fund's net investment income is expected to
be derived from earned interest, it is anticipated that no part of any
distribution will be eligible for the dividends received deduction for
corporations.
If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify for tax
treatment as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income will be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, without any deduction
for distributions to Fund shareholders. In such event, dividend distributions
would be taxable as ordinary income to Fund shareholders to the extent of the
Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits and would be eligible for
the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders.
The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold and
remit to the U.S. Treasury 31% of taxable dividends or gross sale proceeds paid
to any shareholder who has failed to provide a correct tax identification
number in the manner required, who is subject to withholding by the Internal
Revenue Service for failure to properly include on his return payments of
taxable interest or dividends, or who has failed to certify to the Fund when
required to do so that he is not subject to backup withholding or that he is an
"exempt recipient."
Depending upon the extent of the Fund's activities in states
and localities in which its offices are maintained, in which their agents or
independent contractors are located or in which they are otherwise deemed to be
conducting business, the Fund may be subject to the tax laws of such states or
localities. In addition, in those states and localities which have income tax
laws, the treatment of the Fund and its shareholders under such laws may differ
from their treatment under federal income tax laws. Shareholders are advised
to consult their tax advisors concerning the application of state and local
taxes.
-23-
<PAGE> 354
The foregoing discussion is based on federal tax laws and
regulations which are in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional
Information; such laws and regulations may be changed by legislative or
administrative action.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Net income of the Fund for dividend purposes consists of (i)
interest accrued and original issue discount earned on the Fund's assets, (ii)
plus the amortization of market discount and minus the amortization of market
premium on such assets, (iii) less accrued expenses directly attributable to
the Fund and the general expenses (e.g., legal, accounting and trustees' fees)
of the Company prorated to the Fund on the basis of its relative net assets.
In addition, Dollar shares bear exclusively the expense of fees paid to Service
Organizations. (See "Management of the Funds--Service Organizations.")
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
From time to time, the yield and the total return of a Fund
may be quoted in advertisements, shareholder reports or other communications to
shareholders.
Yield Calculations. The yield of the Fund is calculated by
dividing the net investment income per share (as described below) earned by the
Fund during a 30-day (or one month) period by the net asset value per share on
the last day of the period and annualizing the result on a semiannual basis by
adding one to the quotient, raising the sum to the power of six, subtracting
one from the result and then doubling the difference. The Fund's net
investment income per share earned during the period is based on the average
daily number of shares outstanding during the period entitled to receive
dividends and includes dividends and interest earned during the period minus
expenses accrued for the period, net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
This calculation can be expressed as follows:
a-b 6
Yield = 2 [(------- + 1) - 1]
cd
Where: a = dividends and interest
earned during the period.
b = expenses accrued for the period
(net of waivers and/or expense
reimbursements).
-24-
<PAGE> 355
c = the average daily number of
shares outstanding during the
period that were entitled to
receive dividends.
d = net asset value per share on
the last day of the period.
For the purpose of determining net investment income earned
during the period (variable "a" in the formula), interest earned on debt
obligations held by the Fund is calculated by computing the yield to maturity
of each obligation held by the Fund based on the market value of the obligation
(including actual accrued interest) at the close of business on the last
business day of each month, or, with respect to obligations purchased during
the month, the purchase price (plus actual accrued interest) and dividing the
result by 360 and multiplying the quotient by the market value of the
obligation (including actual accrued interest) in order to determine the
interest income on the obligation for each day of the subsequent month that the
obligation is held by the Fund. For purposes of this calculation, it is
assumed that each month contains 30 days. The maturity of an obligation with a
call provision is the next call date on which the obligation reasonably may be
expected to be called or, if none, the maturity date. With respect to debt
obligations purchased at a discount or premium, the formula generally calls for
amortization of the discount or premium. The amortization schedule will be
adjusted monthly to reflect changes in the market values of such debt
obligations.
Undeclared earned income will be subtracted from the net asset
value per share (variable "d" in the formula). Undeclared earned income is the
net investment income which, at the end of the base period, has not been
declared as a dividend, but is reasonably expected to be and is declared as a
dividend shortly thereafter. Based on the foregoing calculations, the yields
for Short Government shares, Short Government Dollar shares for the month of
October 1994 were 5.81% and 5.56%. Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements
were in effect for the period presented.
Total Return Calculations. The Fund computes its average
annual total return by determining the average annual compounded rate of return
during specified periods that equate the initial amount invested to the ending
redeemable value of such investment. This is done by dividing the ending
redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 initial payment by $1,000 and raising
the quotient to a power equal to one divided by the number of years (or
fractional portion thereof) covered by the computation and subtracting one from
the result. This calculation can be expressed as follows:
-25-
<PAGE> 356
ERV
Average annual total return = [(-----)1/n - 1]
P
Where:
ERV = ending redeemable value at the end
of the period covered by the
computation of a hypothetical $1,000
payment made at the beginning of the
period.
P = hypothetical initial payment of
$1,000.
n = period covered by the computation,
expressed in terms of years.
The Fund computes its aggregate total return by determining
the aggregate compounded rate of return during specified periods that likewise
equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value of such
investment. This calculation can be expressed as follows:
ERV
Aggregate total return = [(-----) - 1]
P
The calculations of average annual total return and aggregate
total return assume the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain
distributions on the reinvestment dates during the period. The ending
redeemable value (variable "ERV" in each formula) is determined by assuming
complete redemption of the hypothetical investment and the deduction of all
nonrecurring charges at the end of the period covered by the computations.
Since performance will fluctuate, performance data for the
Fund cannot necessarily be used to compare an investment in the Fund's shares
with bank deposits, savings accounts and similar investment alternatives which
often provide an agreed or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time.
Shareholders should remember that performance is generally a function of the
kind and quality of the instruments held in a portfolio, portfolio maturity,
operating expenses net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements and market
conditions.
Based on the foregoing calculations, the average annual total
return for Short Government shares for the period from April 7, 1987
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994 was 6.88% and for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1994 was .04%. The aggregate total return for this same
period was 65.55% and .04%, respectively. The average annual total return
for Short Government Dollar shares for the period from January 4,
-26-
<PAGE> 357
1988 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994 was 6.63% and for the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994 (.21%). The aggregate total return for this
same period was 56.64% and (.21%), respectively. Fee waivers and/or expense
reimbursements were in effect for the periods presented.
ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION CONCERNING FUND SHARES
The Company does not presently intend to hold annual meetings
of shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
Upon the written request of shareholders owning at least twenty percent of the
Company's shares, the Company will call for a meeting of shareholders to
consider the removal of one or more trustees and other certain matters. To the
extent required by law, the Company will assist in shareholder communication in
such matters.
As stated in the Prospectus for the Fund, holders of the
Company's non-Dollar and Dollar shares of the Fund will vote in the aggregate
and not by class on all matters, except where otherwise required by law and
except that only Dollar shares will be entitled to vote on matters submitted to
a vote of shareholders pertaining to the Fund's arrangements with Service
Organizations. (See "Management of the Funds--Service Organizations.")
Further, shareholders of all of the Company's portfolios will vote in the
aggregate and not by portfolio except as otherwise required by law or when the
Board of Trustees determines that the matter to be voted upon affects only the
interests of the shareholders of a particular portfolio. Rule 18f-2 under the
1940 Act provides that any matter required to be submitted by the provisions of
such Act or applicable state law, or otherwise, to the holders of the
outstanding securities of an investment company such as the Company shall not
be deemed to have been effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of
a majority of the outstanding shares of each portfolio affected by the matter.
Rule 18f-2 further provides that a portfolio shall be deemed to be affected by
a matter unless it is clear that the interests of each portfolio in the matter
are identical or that the matter does not affect any interest of the portfolio.
Under the Rule the approval of an investment advisory agreement or any change
in a fundamental investment policy would be effectively acted upon with respect
to a portfolio only if approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of such portfolio. However, the Rule also provides that the
ratification of the selection of independent accountants, the approval of
principal underwriting contracts and the election of trustees are not subject
to the separate voting requirements and may be effectively acted upon by
shareholders of the investment company voting without regard to portfolio.

SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY
The Company is organized as a "business trust" under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shareholders of such a trust may, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable (as if they were partners) for
the obligations of the trust. The Declaration of Trust of the Company provides
that shareholders of the Fund shall not be subject to any personal liability
for the acts or obligations of the Company and that every note, bond, contract,
order or other undertaking made by the Company shall contain a provision to the
effect that the shareholders are not personally liable thereunder. The
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the trust property of
any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been
a shareholder and not because of any acts or omissions or some other reason.
The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Company shall, upon request,
assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or
obligation of the Company and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of
a shareholder's incurring financial loss beyond its investment on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Company itself
would be unable to meet its obligations.
The Company's Declaration of Trust provides further that no
trustee, officer or agent of the Company shall be personally liable for or on
account of any contract, debt, tort, claim, damage, judgment or decree arising
out of or connected with the administration or preservation of the trust estate
or the conduct of any business of the Company, nor shall any trustee be
personally liable to any person for any action or failure to act except by
reason of bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence in the performance
of any duties or by reason of reckless disregard of the obligations and duties
as trustee. It also provides that all persons having any claim against the
trustees or the Company shall look solely to the trust property for payment.
With the exceptions stated, the Declaration of Trust provides that a trustee is
entitled to be indemnified against all liabilities and expenses reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or disposition of any
proceeding in which the trustee may be involved or with which the trustee may
be threatened by reason of being or having been a trustee, and that the
trustees have the power, but not the duty, to indemnify officers and employees
of the Company unless such
-29-
<PAGE> 360
person would not be entitled to indemnification had he or she been a trustee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Trust for Federal Securities:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the FedFund,
T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and Short
Government Fund Portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities (the "Fund") as of
October 31, 1994 and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1994, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and
Short Government Fund Portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities, as of October
31, 1994, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes
in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
A. Trust for Federal Securities (the Company) was established as a Pennsylvania
business trust under a Declaration of Trust originally dated as of May 14, 1975,
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Company consists of
seven separate portfolios, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund,
Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund. The Intermediate Government Fund
Portfolio was liquidated on October 31, 1994.
Each portfolio has two classes of shares, one class being referred to as
Dollar shares. Dollar shares and the other class of shares of each portfolio are
identical in all respects, except that Dollar shares are sold to institutions
(Service Organizations) which provide support services to their customers who
beneficially own such shares, in consideration of the Company's payment of 0.25%
(on an annualized basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Dollar
shares held by the institutions for the benefit of their customers. The Service
Organization fee is applicable only to the earnings of the respective Dollar
shares.
B. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Security Valuation--FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and
Treasury Trust Fund:
Portfolio securities are valued under the amortized cost method which
approximates current market value. Under this method, securities are valued at
cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any
discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. Regular review
and monitoring of the valuation is performed in an attempt to avoid dilution or
other unfair results to shareholders. The Company seeks to maintain the net
asset value per share of each portfolio at $1.00.
Security Valuation--Short Government Fund:
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available (other
than debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at
the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices provided by
investment dealers. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued at their fair value in the best judgment of PNC
Institutional Management Corporation under procedures established by and under
the supervision of the Company's Board of Trustees. Debt securities with
remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis
(unless the Board determines that such basis does not represent fair value at
the time).
Repurchase Agreements--The Company may purchase, for any portfolio except
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund, money market instruments from
financial institutions, such as banks and non-bank dealers, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price.
Collateral for repurchase agreements may have longer maturities than the maximum
permissible remaining maturity of portfolio investments, provided the repurchase
agreements themselves mature in one year or less. The seller will be required on
a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement
at no less than the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements with maturities in
excess of seven days are subject to a seven day put feature.
Dividends to Shareholders--Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly.
Dividends payable are recorded on the dividend record date. Net income for
dividend purposes includes interest accrued and discount earned, less the
amortization of market premium and applicable expenses and, for the Money Market
Portfolios, includes net realized gains on portfolio securities. Short
Government Fund will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least
once a year.
FS-29
<PAGE> 390
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Federal Taxes--No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Company's
intention to have each portfolio continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will
be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and the
cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses not
directly attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among the portfolios
based on their relative net assets.
Costs incurred by FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
in connection with their organization, registration and the initial public
offering of shares have been deferred and are being amortized using the
straight-line method over a five-year period beginning on the date on which the
portfolios commenced their investment activities.
C. Under agreements among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (PNC Bank)
and PNC Institutional Management Corporation (PIMC), a wholly owned subsidiary
of PNC Bank, PIMC manages the Company's portfolios and maintains their financial
accounts. PNC Bank is the Company's sub-advisor and custodian and PFPC Inc.
(PFPC) is the Company's transfer agent.
As of January 31, 1994, Provident Distributors, Inc. (PDI) became the
Company's Distributor succeeding Pennsylvania Merchant Group Ltd. No
compensation is payable by the Company to PDI for its distribution services.
The Company has entered into an Administration Agreement with PFPC and PDI for
certain administrative services.
In return for their advisory and administrative services, the Company pays
PIMC and the administrators each a fee, computed daily and payable monthly,
based upon an annualized percentage of the average net assets of each portfolio
as follows:
FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
(on a combined basis)--.175% of the first $1 billion, .15% of the next $1
billion, .125% of the next $1 billion, .10% of the next $1 billion, .095% of the
next $1 billion, .09% of the next $1 billion, .085% of the next $1 billion and
.08% of net assets in excess of $7 billion.
Short Government Fund--.20% of average net assets.
If expenses borne by any portfolio in any fiscal year exceed the applicable
expense limitation imposed by state securities regulations, the administrators
and PIMC will each reimburse the portfolio for one-half of any excess expense up
to the amount of fees payable to it (except where such regulations require
reimbursement regardless of the fees payable to it).
The administrators and PIMC have also agreed to reduce their fees, on an equal
basis, to the extent necessary to ensure that the total operating expenses
(excluding Service Organization fees) of FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund,
and Treasury Trust Fund do not exceed .18% of their respective average net
assets for the 36-month period ending January 18, 1996, and with respect to
FedCash and T-Cash, .16%. For the year ended October 31, 1994, the
administrators and PIMC voluntarily agreed to reimburse, on an equal basis, for
expenses in the amount of $4,592 with respect to Short Government Fund. For the
year ended October 31, 1994, the administrators (or former administrator) and
PIMC waived, on an equal basis, a total of $1,615,628 of the administration and
advisory fees payable to them with respect to FedFund, $1,310,068 with respect
to T-Fund, $1,093,063 with respect to FedCash, $819,786 with respect to T-Cash,
$394,224 with
FS-30
<PAGE> 391
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
respect to Federal Trust Fund, $1,569,441 with respect to Treasury Trust Fund
and $25,713 with respect to Short Government Fund.
D. The Company's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to authorize the
issuance of an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial
interest (shares) in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued
shares into one or more additional classes of shares.
Transactions in shares of the Company are summarized as follows:

ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION
Indemnification of Registrant's Principal Underwriter,
Custodian and Transfer Agent against certain stated liabilities
C-15
<PAGE> 411
is provided for in Section 6 of the Distribution Agreement, included herein as
Exhibit (6), and in Section 22 of the Custodian Agreement and in Section 17 of
the Transfer Agency Agreement, incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits
(8)(b) and (9)(e), respectively. Registrant has obtained from at least one
major insurance carrier a directors' and officers' liability policy covering
certain types of errors and omissions. In addition, Section 2 of Article X of
Registrant's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated August 9, 1994
incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit (l), provides as follows:
10.2 Indemnification of Trustees, Officers and
Employees. The Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees
against all liabilities and expenses (including amounts paid
in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise, as fines and
penalties, and as counsel fees) reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit
or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which he
may be involved or with which he may be threatened, while in
office or thereafter, by reason of his being or having been
such a Trustee except with respect to any matter as to which,
he shall have been adjudicated to have acted in bad faith,
willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of
his duties; provided, however, that as to any matter disposed
of by a compromise payment by such person, pursuant to a
consent decree or otherwise, no indemnification either for
said payment or for any other expenses shall be provided
unless the Trust shall have received a written opinion from
independent legal counsel approved by the Trustees to the
effect that if either the matter of willful misfeasance, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of duty, or the matter of bad
faith had been adjudicated, it would in his opinion have been
adjudicated in favor of such person. The rights accruing to
any person under these provisions shall not exclude any other
right to which he may be lawfully entitled; provided that no
person may satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement
except out of the property of the Trust. The Trustees may
make advance payments in connection with the indemnification
under this Section 10.2, provided that the indemnified person
shall have given a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust
in the event it is subsequently determined that he is not
entitled to such indemnification.
The Trustees shall have the power, but not the duty,
in their sole discretion, to indemnify representatives and
employees of the Trust to the same
C-16
<PAGE> 412
extent that Trustees are entitled to indemnification hereunder.
In addition to such rights of indemnification as may
be provided hereunder, the Trustees may purchase insurance
against the risk of liability imposed against Trustees,
officers or employees by reason of their services on behalf of
the Trust.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling
persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
ITEM 28. BUSINESS AND OTHER CONNECTIONS OF INVESTMENT ADVISER

Securities (Registration No. 2-53808)
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Trust for Federal Securities, a
Pennsylvania business trust (the "Fund"), and have been informed by the Fund
(the "Fund") of the registration of 2,831,960,985 units of beneficial interest
of the Fund ("Portfolio Shares"), pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 40
to the Fund's Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933. The
registration of such Shares has been made in reliance upon Rule 24e-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund is an open-end investment company
authorized to issue an unlimited number of Portfolio Shares, without par value,
at all times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994 and remains so
classified as of the date of this opinion. We have reviewed the Fund's
Declaration of Trust, as amended, its By-Laws, as amended, resolutions adopted
by its Board of Trustees and such other legal and factual matters as we have
deemed appropriate.
On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
foregoing 2,831,960,985 shares of the Fund when issued for payment as described
in the Fund's Prospectuses, were validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
by the Fund.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to Post-Effective Amendment
No. 40 to the Fund's Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
