This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of
your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's maximum allowable
operating expenses as shown in the table remain the same. Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?
The Fund invests in a portfolio of high-quality fixed income securities maturing
in 397 days or less. The average maturity of the Fund's portfolio is 90 days or
less. The Fund's investment adviser (Adviser) actively manages the Fund's
portfolio, seeking to limit the credit risk taken by the Fund and select
investments with enhanced yields.
The Adviser performs a fundamental credit analysis to develop an approved list
of issuers and securities that meet the Adviser's standard for minimal credit
risk. The Adviser monitors the credit risks of all portfolio securities on an
ongoing basis by reviewing periodic financial data and ratings of nationally
recognized rating services.
The Adviser targets an average portfolio maturity based upon its interest rate
outlook. The Adviser formulates its interest rate outlook by analyzing a variety
of factors such as current and expected U.S. economic growth; current and
expected interest rates and inflation; and the Federal Reserve's monetary
policy. The Adviser structures the portfolio by investing primarily in variable
rate demand instruments and commercial paper. The Adviser generally shortens the
portfolio's maturity when it expects interest rates to rise and extends the
maturity when it expects interest rates to fall. This strategy seeks to enhance
the returns from favorable interest rate changes and reduce the effect of
unfavorable changes.
WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS?
Fixed Income Securities
Fixed income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified
rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted
periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the
principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. The
following describes the types of fixed income securities in which the Fund
invests.
Corporate Debt Securities
Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issed by businesses.
Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of
corporate debt securities. The Fund may also purchase interests in bank loans
to compaines.
COMMERCIAL PAPER
Commercial paper is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than
nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for
current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial
paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If
the issuer cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its
commercial paper may default.
DEMAND INSTRUMENTS
Demand instruments are corporate debt securities that the issuer must
repay upon demand. Other demand instruments require a third party, such
as a dealer or bank, to repurchase the security for its face value upon
demand. The Fund treats demand instruments as short-term securities, even
though their stated maturity may extend beyond one year.
BANK INSTRUMENTS
Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing deposits with banks. Bank
instruments include bank accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit
and banker's acceptances. Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S.
dollars and issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar
instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches
of U.S. or foreign banks.
Asset Backed Securities
Asset backed securities are payable from pools of obligations other than
mortgages. Most asset backed securities involve consumer or commercial
debts with maturities of less than ten years. However, almost any type of
fixed income assets (including other fixed income securities) may be used
to create an asset backed security. Asset backed securities may take the
form of commercial paper, notes, or pass through certificates.
Credit Enhancement
Credit enhancement consists of an arrangement in which a company agrees
to pay amounts due on a fixed income security if the issuer defaults. In
some cases the company providing credit enhancement makes all payments
directly to the security holders and receives reimbursement from the
issuer. Normally, the credit enhancer has greater financial resources and
liquidity than the issuer. For this reason, the Adviser usually evaluates
the credit risk of a fixed income security based solely upon its credit
enhancement.
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Fund buys a security
from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually
agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price,
reflecting the Fund's return on the transaction. This return is unrelated
to the interest rate on the underlying security. The Fund will enter into
repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial
institutions, such as securities dealers, deemed creditworthy by the
Adviser.
Investment Ratings
The securities in which the Fund invests must be rated in the highest short-term
rating categories by two of the nationally recognized rating services or be of
comparable quality to securities having such ratings.
WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?
Credit Risks
Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by
failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer defaults, the Fund
will lose money. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by purchasing
higher quality securities.
Many fixed income securities receive credit ratings from services such as
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services, Inc. These services assign
ratings to securities by assessing the likelihood of issuer default. Lower
credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk. If a security has not received
a rating, the Fund must rely entirely on the Adviser's credit assessment.
Interest Rate Risks
Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the
interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise,
prices of fixed income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the
demand for particular fixed income securities, may cause the price of certain
fixed income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or
remain unchanged.
Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities. Money market funds try to minimize this risk
by purchasing short-term securities.
Sector Risks
A substantial part of the Fund's portfolio may be comprised of securities credit
enhanced by banks or companies with similar characteristics. As a result, the
Fund will be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or other
developments which generally affect these entities.
WHAT DO SHARES COST?
You can purchase or redeem Shares any day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is
open. The Fund attempts to stabilize the net asset value (NAV) of its Shares at
$1.00 by valuing the portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. The
Fund cannot guarantee that its NAV will always remain at $1.00 per Share.
NAV is determined at 12:00 noon and 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and as of the end
of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open.
The required minimum initial investment for Fund Shares is $25,000. There is no
required minimum subsequent investment amount.
An account may be opened with a smaller amount as long as the $25,000 minimum is
reached within 90 days. An institutional investor's minimum investment is
calculated by combining all accounts it maintains with the Fund. Accounts
established through investment professionals may be subject to a smaller minimum
investment amount. Keep in mind that investment professionals may charge you
fees for their services in connection with your Share transactions.
HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?
The Fund's Distributor, Federated Securities Corp., markets the Shares described
in this prospectus to institutional investors such as banks, fiduciaries,
custodians of public funds and similar institutional investors or individuals,
directly or through investment professionals.
The Distributor and its affiliates may pay out of their assets other amounts
(including items of material value) to investment professionals for marketing
and servicing Shares. The Distributor is a subsidiary of Federated Investors,
Inc. (Federated).
HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES

withholding only applies to certain types of retirement accounts.
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Telephone Transactions
The Fund will record your telephone instructions. If the Fund does not follow
reasonable procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent telephone instructions.
Share Certificates
The Fund no longer issues share certificates. If you are redeeming Shares
represented by certificates previously issued by the Fund, you must return the
certificates with your written redemption request. For your protection, send
your certificates by registered or certified mail, but do not endorse them.
ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION
Account Activity
You will receive periodic statements reporting all account activity, including
dividends and capital gains paid.
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS
The Fund declares any dividends daily and pays them monthly to shareholders. If
you purchase Shares by wire, you begin earning dividends on the day your wire is
received. If you purchase Shares by check, you begin earning dividends on the
business day after the Fund receives your check. In either case, you earn
dividends through the day your redemption request is received.
The Fund does not expect to realize any capital gains or losses. If capital
gains or losses were to occur, they could result in an increase or decrease in
dividends. The Fund pays any capital gains at least annually. Your dividends and
capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional
Shares without a sales charge, unless you elect cash payments.
ACCOUNTS WITH LOW BALANCES
Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, non-retirement
accounts may be closed if redemptions cause the account balance to fall below
the minimum initial investment amount. Before an account is closed, you will be
notified and allowed 30 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum.
TAX INFORMATION
The Fund sends an annual statement of your account activity to assist you in
completing your federal, state and local tax returns. Fund distributions of
dividends and capital gains are taxable to you whether paid in cash or
reinvested in the Fund. Dividends are taxable as ordinary income; capital gains
are taxable at different rates depending upon the length of time the Fund holds
its assets.
Fund distributions are expected to be primarily dividends. Redemptions are
taxable sales. Please consult your tax adviser regarding your federal, state and
local tax liability.
WHO MANAGES THE FUND?
The Board of Trustees governs the Fund. The Board selects and oversees the
Adviser, Federated Investment Management Company. The Adviser manages the Fund's
assets, including buying and selling portfolio securities. The Adviser's address
is Federated Investors Tower, 1001 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3779.
Advisory Fees
The Adviser receives an annual investment advisory fee of 0.40% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. Under the investment advisory contract, which is
subject to annual renewal by the Fund's Board of Trustees, the Adviser will
waive the amount, limited to the amount of the advisory fee, by which the Fund's
aggregate annual operating expenses, including the investment advisory fee but
excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses of registering or
qualifying the Fund and its shares under federal and state laws and regulations,
expenses of withholding taxes, and extraordinary expenses exceed 0.45% of its
average daily net assets.
The Adviser and other subsidiaries of Federated advise approximately 175 mutual
funds and separate accounts, which totaled approximately $111 billion in assets
as of December 31, 1998. Federated was established in 1955 and is one of the
largest mutual fund investment managers in the United States with approximately
1,900 employees. More than 4,000 investment professionals make Federated Funds
available to their customers.
Year 2000 Readiness
The "Year 2000" problem is the potential for computer errors or failures because
certain computer systems may be unable to interpret dates after December 31,
1999 or experience other date-related problems. The Year 2000 problem may cause
systems to process information incorrectly and could disrupt businesses, such as
the Fund, that rely on computers.
While it is impossible to determine in advance all of the risks to the Fund, the
Fund could experience interruptions in basic financial and operational
functions. Fund shareholders could experience errors or disruptions in Fund
share transactions or Fund communications.
The Fund's service providers are making changes to their computer systems to fix
any Year 2000 problems. In addition, they are working to gather information from
third-party providers to determine their Year 2000 readiness.
Year 2000 problems would also increase the risks of the Fund's investments. To
assess the potential effect of the Year 2000 problem, the Adviser is reviewing
information regarding the Year 2000 readiness of issuers of securities the Fund
may purchase.
However, this may be difficult with certain issuers. For example, funds dealing
with foreign service providers or investing in foreign securities will have
difficulty determining the Year 2000 readiness of those entities. The financial
impact of these issues for the Fund is still being determined. There can be no
assurance that potential Year 2000 problems would not have a material adverse
effect on the Fund.

HOW IS THE FUND ORGANIZED?
The Fund is a diversified open-end, management investment company that was
established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on July 24,
1978. The Fund's investment adviser is Federated Investment Management Company
(Adviser). Effective March 31, 1999, Federated Research, former Adviser to the
Fund, became Federated Investment Management Company (formerly, Federated
Advisers).
SECURITIES IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS
The Fund's principal securities are described in its prospectus. Additional
securities, and further information regarding the principal securities, are
outlined below. In pursuing its investment strategy, the Fund may invest in such
securities for any purpose that is consistent with its investment objective.
SECURITIES DESCRIPTIONS AND TECHNIQUES
Fixed Income Securities
Fixed income securities pay interest, dividends or distributions at a specified
rate. The rate may be a fixed percentage of the principal or adjusted
periodically. In addition, the issuer of a fixed income security must repay the
principal amount of the security, normally within a specified time. Fixed income
securities provide more regular income than equity securities. However, the
returns on fixed income securities are limited and normally do not increase with
the issuer's earnings. This limits the potential appreciation of fixed income
securities as compared to equity securities. A security's yield measures the
annual income earned on a security as a percentage of its price. A security's
yield will increase or decrease depending upon whether it costs less (a
discount) or more (a premium) than the principal amount. If the issuer may
redeem the security before its scheduled maturity, the price and yield on a
discount or premium security may change based upon the probability of an early
redemption. Securities with higher risks generally have higher yields. The
following describes the types of fixed income securities in which the Fund
invests.
Treasury Securities
Treasury securities are direct obligations of the federal government of the
United States. Treasury securities are generally regarded as having the
lowest credit risks. Agency Securities Agency securities are issued or
guaranteed by a federal agency or other government sponsored entity acting
under federal authority (a GSE). The United States supports some GSEs with
its full faith and credit. Other GSEs receive support through federal
subsidies, loans or other benefits. A few GSEs have no explicit financial
support, but are regarded as having implied support because the federal
government sponsors their activities. Agency securities are generally
regarded as having low credit risks, but not as low as treasury securities.
Corporate Debt Securities Corporate debt securities are fixed income
securities issued by businesses. Notes, bonds, debentures and commercial
paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities. The Fund
may also purchase interests in bank loans to companies. The credit risks of
corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers. In addition, the
credit risk of an issuer's debt security may vary based on its priority for
repayment. For example, higher ranking (senior) debt securities have a
higher priority than lower ranking (subordinated) securities. This means
that the issuer might not make payments on subordinated securities while
continuing to make payments on senior securities. In addition, in the event
of bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise
payable to the holders of subordinated securities. Some subordinated
securities, such as trust preferred and capital securities notes, also
permit the issuer to defer payments under certain circumstances. For
example, insurance companies issue securities known as surplus notes that
permit the insurance company to defer any payment that would reduce its
capital below regulatory requirements.
Commercial Paper
Commercial paper is an issuer's obligation with a maturity of less than
nine months. Companies typically issue commercial paper to pay for
current expenditures. Most issuers constantly reissue their commercial
paper and use the proceeds (or bank loans) to repay maturing paper. If
the issuer cannot continue to obtain liquidity in this fashion, its
commercial paper may default. Demand Instruments Demand instruments are
corporate debt securities that the issuer must repay upon demand. Other
demand instruments require a third party, such as a dealer or bank, to
repurchase the security for its face value upon demand. The Fund treats
demand instruments as short-term securities, even though their stated
maturity may extend beyond one year.
Municipal Securities
Municipal securities are issued by states, counties, cities and other
political subdivisions and authorities. Although many municipal securities
are exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest in taxable
municipal securities. Asset Backed Securities Asset backed securities are
payable from pools of obligations other than mortgages. Most asset backed
securities involve consumer or commercial debts with maturities of less
than ten years. However, almost any type of fixed income assets (including
other fixed income securities) may be used to create an asset backed
security. Asset backed securities may take the form of commercial paper,
notes, or pass through certificates. Zero Coupon Securities Zero coupon
securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity unlike
debt securities that provide periodic payments of interest (referred to as
a coupon payment). Investors buy zero coupon securities at a price below
the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price
and the amount paid at maturity represents interest on the zero coupon
security. Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and
principal, which increases the market and credit risks of a zero coupon
security. A zero coupon step-up security converts to a coupon security
before final maturity. Bank Instruments Bank instruments are unsecured
interest bearing deposits with banks. Bank instruments include bank
accounts, time deposits, certificates of deposit and banker's acceptances.
Yankee instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by U.S.
branches of foreign banks. Eurodollar instruments are denominated in U.S.
dollars and issued by non-U.S. branches of U.S. or foreign banks.
Insurance Contracts
Insurance contracts include guaranteed investment contracts, funding
agreements and annuities. The Fund treats these contracts as fixed income
securities. Credit Enhancement Common types of credit enhancement include
guarantees, letters of credit, bond insurance and surety bonds. Credit
enhancement also includes arrangements where securities or other liquid
assets secure payment of a fixed income security. If a default occurs,
these assets may be sold and the proceeds paid to security's holders.
Either form of credit enhancement reduces credit risks by providing another
source of payment for a fixed income security.
Foreign Securities
Foreign securities are securities of issuers based outside the United
States. The Fund considers an issuer to be based outside the United States
if:
o it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office located in,
another country;
o the principal trading market for its securities is in another country; or
o it (or its subsidiaries) derived in its most current fiscal year at least
50% of its total assets, capitalization, gross revenue or profit from goods
produced, services performed, or sales made in another country.
Foreign securities are primarily denominated in foreign currencies. Along
with the risks normally associated with domestic securities of the same
type, foreign securities are subject to currency risks and risks of foreign
investing. Trading in certain foreign markets is also subject to liquidity
risks.
Special Transactions
Delayed Delivery Transactions
Delayed delivery transactions, including when issued transactions, are
arrangements in which the Fund buys securities for a set price, with
payment and delivery of the securities scheduled for a future time. During
the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Fund
to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Fund. The Fund records the
transaction when it agrees to buy the securities and reflects their value
in determining the price of its shares. Settlement dates may be a month or
more after entering into these transactions so that the market values of
the securities bought may vary from the purchase prices. Therefore, delayed
delivery transactions create interest rate risks for the Fund. Delayed
delivery transactions also involve credit risks in the event of a
counterparty default. Repurchase Agreements Repurchase agreements are
transactions in which the Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and
agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price.
The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund's return
on the transaction. This return is unrelated to the interest rate on the
underlying security. The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only
with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as securities
dealers, deemed creditworthy by the Adviser.
The Fund's custodian or subcustodian will take possession of the securities
subject to repurchase agreements. The Adviser or subcustodian will monitor
the value of the underlying security each day to ensure that the value of
the security always equals or exceeds the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Reverse repurchase agreements are repurchase agreements in which the Fund
is the seller (rather than the buyer) of the securities, and agrees to
repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price. A reverse repurchase
agreement may be viewed as a type of borrowing by the Fund. Reverse
repurchase agreements are subject to credit risks. In addition, reverse
repurchase agreements create leverage risks because the Fund must
repurchase the underlying security at a higher price, regardless of the
market value of the security at the time of repurchase.
Asset Coverage
In order to secure its obligations in connection with special transactions,
the Fund will either own the underlying assets, enter into an offsetting
transaction or set aside readily marketable securities with a value that
equals or exceeds the Fund's obligations. Unless the Fund has other readily
marketable assets to set aside, it cannot trade assets used to secure such
obligations without entering into an offsetting transaction or terminating
the special transaction. This may cause the Fund to miss favorable trading
opportunities or to realize losses on special transactions.
Investment Ratings
Securities rated A-1 or A-1+ by Standard & Poor's ("S & P"), Prime-1 by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or F-1 (+ or -) by Fitch IBCA, Inc.
("Fitch") are all considered rated in the highest short-term rating category.
The Fund will follow applicable regulations in determining whether a security
rated by more than one NRSRO can be treated as being in the highest short-term
rating category; currently, such securities must be rated by two NRSROs in their
highest rating category. See "Regulatory Compliance".
INVESTMENT RISKS
There are many factors which may affect an investment in the Fund. The Fund's
principal risks are described in its prospectus. Additional risk factors are
outlined below.
Credit Risks
o Fixed income securities generally compensate for greater credit risk by
paying interest at a higher rate. The difference between the yield of a
security and the yield of a U.S. Treasury security with a comparable
maturity (the spread) measures the additional interest paid for risk.
Spreads may increase generally in response to adverse economic or market
conditions. A security's spread may also increase if the security's rating
is lowered, or the security is perceived to have an increased credit risk.
An increase in the spread will cause the price of the security to decline.
o Credit risk includes the possibility that a party to a transaction
involving the Fund will fail to meet its obligations. This could cause the
Fund to lose the benefit of the transaction or prevent the Fund from
selling or buying other securities to implement its investment strategy.
Leverage Risks
o Leverage risk is created when an investment exposes the Fund to a level of
risk that exceeds the amount invested. Changes in the value of such an
investment magnify the Fund's risk of loss and potential for gain.
Currency Risks
o Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. The combination of currency
risk and market risks tends to make securities traded in foreign markets
more volatile than securities traded exclusively in the U.S.
Risks of Foreign Investing
o Foreign securities pose additional risks because foreign economic or
political conditions may be less favorable than those of the United States.
Securities in foreign markets may also be subject to taxation policies that
reduce returns for U.S. investors.
Liquidity Risks
o Trading opportunities are more limited for fixed income securities that
have not received any credit ratings, are not widely held, oar are subject
to restrictions on resale.
o These features may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a
favorable price or time. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept a lower
price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up an
investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the
Fund's performance. Infrequent trading of securities may also lead to an
increase in their price volatility.
fundamental INVESTMENT Policies
The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of money
market instruments maturing in 397 days or less.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
INVESTING IN BANK INSTRUMENTS
The Fund will not invest in instruments issued by banks or savings and loans
unless: (a) at the time of investment they have capital, surplus and undivided
profits in excess of $100 million (as of the date of their most recently
published financial statements); or (b) the principal amount of the instrument
is insured in full by the FDIC or FSLIC. Commercial paper investments will be
limited to commercial paper rated A-1 or A-1+ by Standard & Poor's ("S & P"),
Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or F-1 (+ or -) by Fitch
IBCA, Inc. ("Fitch"). In addition, the Fund may purchase money market
instruments (including commercial paper and instruments) which are not rated but
are determined by the Board of Trustees or its designee to be of comparable
quality to the other bank or corporate obligations in which the Fund may invest.
The Fund may attempt to increase yield by trading portfolio securities to take
advantage of short-term market variations.
SELLING SHORT AND BUYING ON MARGIN
The Fund will not sell any securities short or purchase any securities on margin
but may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for clearance of
purchases and sales of securities.
BORROWING MONEY
The Fund will not borrow money except as a temporary measure for extraordinary
or emergency purposes and then only in amounts not in excess of 5% of the value
of its total assets or in an amount up to one-third of the value of its total
assets, including the amount borrowed, in order to meet redemption requests
without immediately selling any portfolio securities (any such borrowings under
this section will not be collateralized).
PLeDGING ASSETS
The Fund will not pledge securities.
INVESTING IN COMMODITIES, MINERALS, OR REAL ESTATE
The Fund will not invest in commodities, commodity contracts, oil, gas, or other
mineral programs or real estate, except that it may purchase money market
instruments issued by companies which invest in or sponsor interests therein.
UNDERWRITING
The Fund will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as it may be deemed
to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the
sale of restricted securities which the Fund may purchase pursuant to its
investment objective, policies, and limitations.
LENDING CASH OR SECURITIES
The Fund will not make loans to other persons; provided however that the
purchase or holding of money market instruments, including repurchase agreements
and variable amount and variable market demand master notes, in accordance with
the Fund's investment objective and policies shall not constitute making a loan.
ACQUIRING SECURITIES
The Fund will not acquire the voting securities of any issuer.
INVESTING IN SECURITIES OF OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES
The Fund will not invest in securities issued by any other investment company,
except as part of a merger, consolidation, or other acquisition.
INVESTING FOR CONTROL
The Fund will not invest in securities of a company for the purpose of
exercising control or management.
INVESTING IN FOREIGN SECURITIES
The Fund will not invest in foreign securities which are not publicly traded in
the United States.
INVESTING IN ISSUERS WHOSE SECURITIES ARE OWNED BY OFFICERS OF THE FUND
The Fund will not purchase or retain in its portfolio securities issued by an
issuer, any of whose officers, directors or security holders is an officer,
director or Trustee of the Fund or adviser if, after the purchase of the
securities of such issuer by the Trust, one or more of such officers, directors
or Trustees owns beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the shares or securities or
both of such issuer, and such officer, director and trustee owning more than 1/2
of 1% of such shares or securities, together own beneficially more than 5% of
such shares or securities.
CONCENTRATION OF INVESTMENTS
The Fund will not purchase securities if as a result of such purchase more than
25% of the value of its total assets would be invested in any one industry.
However, investing in bank instruments such as time and demand deposits and
certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury Bills or securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or instruments
secured by these money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements for
Government securities, shall not be considered investments in any one industry.
The above limitations cannot be changed by the Board unless authorized by the
"vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities," as defined by the
Investment Company Act. The following limitations, however, may be changed by
the Board without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified before any
material change in these limitations becomes effective.
For purposes of the above limitations, the Fund considers instruments issued by
a U.S. branch of a domestic bank or savings and loan having capital, surplus,
and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 at the time of investment to be
"cash items." Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation
is adhered to at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in
percentage resulting from any change in value or net assets will not result in a
violation of such limitation. The Fund did not borrow money or pledge securities
in excess of 5% of the value of its net assets during the last fiscal year and
has no present intent to do so during the coming fiscal year.
INVESTING IN RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES
The Fund may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any
securities in which the Fund may invest pursuant to its investment objective and
policies but which are subject to restrictions on resale under federal
securities law. Under criteria established by the Trustees certain restricted
securities are determined to be liquid. To the extent that restricted securities
are not determined to be liquid the Fund will limit their purchase, together
with other illiquid securities, to 10% of its net assets.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
The Fund may follow non-fundamental operational policies that are more
restrictive than its fundamental investment limitations, as set forth in the
prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information, in order to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, including the provisions of and regulations
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In particular, the Fund will comply
with the various requirements of Rule 2a-7 (the "Rule") promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Fund will determine the effective maturity of its investments, as well as its
ability to consider a security as having received the requisite short-term
ratings by NRSROs, according to the Rule. The Fund may change these operational
policies to reflect changes in the laws and regulations without the approval of
its shareholders. DETERMINING MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES The Trustees have
decided that the best method for determining the value of portfolio instruments
is amortized cost. Under this method, portfolio instruments are valued at the
acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accumulation of
discount rather than at current market value. Accordingly, neither the amount of
daily income nor the net asset value is affected by any unrealized appreciation
or depreciation of the portfolio. In periods of declining interest rates, the
indicated daily yield on shares of the Fund computed by dividing the annualized
daily income on the Fund's portfolio by the net asset value computed as above
may tend to be higher than a similar computation made by using a method of
valuation based upon market prices and estimates. In periods of rising interest
rates, the opposite may be true.
The Fund's use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio instruments
depends on its compliance with certain conditions in the Rule. Under the Rule,
the Trustees must establish procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the net
asset value per share, as computed for purposes of distribution and redemption,
at $1.00 per share, taking into account current market conditions in the Rule.
Under the Rule, the Trustees must establish procedures reasonably designed to
stabilize the net asset value per share, as computed for purposes of
distribution and redemption, at $1.00 per share, taking into account current
market conditions and the Fund's investment objective. The procedures include
monitoring the relationship between the amortized cost value per share and the
net asset value per share based upon available indications of market value. The
Trustees will decide what, if any, steps should be taken if there is a
difference of more than 0.5 of 1% between the two values. The Trustees will take
any steps they consider appropriate (such as redemption in kind or shortening
the average portfolio maturity) to minimize any material dilution or other
unfair results arising from differences between the two methods of determining
net asset value.
HOW IS THE FUND SOLD?
Under the Distributor's Contract with the Fund, the Distributor (Federated
Securities Corp.) offers Shares on a continuous, best-efforts basis.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The Fund may pay Federated Shareholder Services Company, a subsidiary of
Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated), for providing shareholder services and
maintaining shareholder accounts. Federated Shareholder Services Company may
select others to perform these services for their customers and may pay them
fees.
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENTS
Investment professionals may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor
and/or Federated Shareholder Services Company (but not out of Fund assets). The
Distributor and/or Federated Shareholder Services Company may be reimbursed by
the Adviser or its affiliates.
Investment professionals receive such fees for providing distribution-related or
shareholder services such as sponsoring sales, providing sales literature,
conducting training seminars for employees, and engineering sales-related
computer software programs and systems. Also, investment professionals may be
paid cash or promotional incentives, such as reimbursement of certain expenses
relating to attendance at informational meetings about the Fund or other special
events at recreational-type facilities, or items of material value. These
payments will be based upon the amount of Shares the investment professional
sells or may sell and/or upon the type and nature of sales or marketing support
furnished by the investment professional.
SUBACCOUNTING SERVICES
Certain investment professionals may wish to use the transfer agent's
subaccounting system to minimize their internal recordkeeping requirements. The
transfer agent may charge a fee based on the level of subaccounting services
rendered. Investment professionals holding Shares in a fiduciary, agency,
custodial, or similar capacity may charge or pass through subaccounting fees as
part of or in addition to normal trust or agency account fees. They may also
charge fees for other services that may be related to the ownership of Shares.
This information should, therefore, be read together with any agreement between
the customer and the investment professional about the services provided, the
fees charged for those services, and any restrictions and limitations imposed.
MASSACHUSETTS PARTNERSHIP LAW
Under certain circumstances, shareholders may be held personally liable as
partners under Massachusetts law for obligations of the Fund. To protect its
shareholders, the Fund has filed legal documents with Massachusetts that
expressly disclaim the liability of its shareholders for acts or obligations of
the Fund.
In the unlikely event a shareholder is held personally liable for the Fund's
obligations, the Fund is required by the Declaration of Trust to use its
property to protect or compensate the shareholder. On request, the Fund will
defend any claim made and pay any judgment against a shareholder for any act or
obligation of the Fund. Therefore, financial loss resulting from liability as a
shareholder will occur only if the Fund itself cannot meet its obligations to
indemnify shareholders and pay judgments against them.
ACCOUNT AND SHARE INFORMATION
VOTING RIGHTS
Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All Shares of the Fund have
equal voting rights.
Trustees may be removed by the Board or by shareholders at a special meeting. A
special meeting of shareholders will be called by the Board upon the written
request of shareholders who own at least 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares.
(To be filed by amendment)
Shareholders owning 25% or more of outstanding Shares may be in control and be
able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote of
shareholders.
TAX INFORMATION
FEDERAL INCOME TAX
The Fund intends to meet requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. If these requirements are not
met, it will not receive special tax treatment and will pay federal income tax.
WHO MANAGES AND PROVIDES SERVICES TO THE FUND?
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Board is responsible for managing the Fund's business affairs and for
exercising all the Fund's powers except those reserved for the shareholders.

The Adviser conducts investment research and makes investment decisions for the
Fund.
The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated.
The Adviser shall not be liable to the Fund or any Fund shareholder for any
losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of any security
or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions involving
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the
duties imposed upon it by its contract with the Fund.
The Adviser must waive the portion of its advisory fee that increases the Fund's
aggregate annual operating expenses above 0.45% of its average daily net assets.
The Fund's operating expenses include the advisory fee but exclude interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses of registering the Fund and its Shares
under federal and state laws, expenses of withholding taxes, and extraordinary
expenses.

equipment and software to institutional customers in order to facilitate the
purchase of Fund Shares offered by the Distributor.
BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS
When selecting brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio
instruments, the Adviser looks for prompt execution of the order at a favorable
price. The Adviser will generally use those who are recognized dealers in
specific portfolio instruments, except when a better price and execution of the
order can be obtained elsewhere. In selecting among firms believed to meet these
criteria, the Adviser may give consideration to those firms which have sold or
are selling Shares of the Fund and other funds distributed by the Distributor
and its affiliates. The Adviser makes decisions on portfolio transactions and
selects brokers and dealers subject to review by the Fund's Board.

HOW DOES THE FUND MEASURE PERFORMANCE?
The Fund may advertise Share performance by using the Securities and Exchange
Commission's (SEC) standard method for calculating performance applicable to all
mutual funds. The SEC also permits this standard performance information to be
accompanied by non-standard performance information.
The performance of Shares depends upon such variables as: portfolio quality;
average portfolio maturity; type and value of portfolio securities; changes in
interest rates; changes or differences in the Fund's or any class of Shares'
expenses; and various other factors.
Share performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings
fluctuate daily. Both net earnings and offering price per Share are factors in
the computation of yield and total return.
Average Annual Total Returns and Yield
Total returns given for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended July
31, 1999.
Yield and Effective Yield given for the 30-day period ended July 31, 1999.
7-Day Period 1 Year 5 Years 10 Years
Total Return
Yield
Effective Yield
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL RETURN
Total return represents the change (expressed as a percentage) in the value of
Shares over a specific period of time, and includes the investment of income and
capital gains distributions.
The average annual total return for Shares is the average compounded rate of
return for a given period that would equate a $1,000 initial investment to the
ending redeemable value of that investment. The ending redeemable value is
computed by multiplying the number of Shares owned at the end of the period by
the NAV per Share at the end of the period. The number of Shares owned at the
end of the period is based on the number of Shares purchased at the beginning of
the period with $1,000, less any applicable sales charge, adjusted over the
period by any additional Shares, assuming the annual reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions.
YIELD
The yield of Shares is based upon the seven days ending on the day of the
calculation, called the "base period." This yield is calculated by: determining
the net change in the value of a hypothetical account with a balance of one
Share at the beginning of the base period, with the net change excluding capital
changes but including the value of any additional Shares purchased with
dividends earned from the original one Share and all dividends declared on the
original and any purchased Shares; dividing the net change in the account's
value by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to
determine the base period return; and multiplying the base period return by
365/7. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the unannualized
base-period return by: adding one to the base-period return, raising the sum to
the 365/7th power; and subtracting one from the result.
To the extent investment professionals and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in Shares,
the Share performance is lower for shareholders paying those fees.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
Advertising and sales literature may include:
o........references to ratings, rankings, and financial publications and/or
performance comparisons of Shares to certain indices;
o charts, graphs and illustrations using the Fund's returns, or returns in
general, that demonstrate investment concepts such as tax-deferred
compounding, dollar-cost averaging and systematic investment;
o discussions of economic, financial and political developments and their
impact on the securities market, including the portfolio manager's views on
how such developments could impact the Funds; and
o information about the mutual fund industry from sources such as the Investment
Company Institute.
The Fund may compare its performance, or performance for the types of securities
in which it invests, to a variety of other investments, including federally
insured bank products such as bank savings accounts, certificates of deposit,
and Treasury bills.
The Fund may quote information from reliable sources regarding individual
countries and regions, world stock exchanges, and economic and demographic
statistics.
You may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more complete view
of Share performance. When comparing performance, you should consider all
relevant factors such as the composition of the index used, prevailing market
conditions, portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods used to value
portfolio securities and compute offering price. The financial publications
and/or indices which the Fund uses in advertising may include:
o Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., ranks funds in various fund categories based
on total return, which assumes the reinvestment of all income dividends and
capital gains distributions, if any.
o IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report publishes annualized yields of money market
funds weekly. Donoghue's Money Market Insight publication reports monthly and
12-month-to-date investment results for the same money funds.
o Money, a monthly magazine, regularly ranks money market funds in various
categories based on the latest available seven-day effective yield.
oSalomon 30-Day CD Index compares rate levels of 30-day certificates of deposit
from the top ten prime representative banks.
Advertising and other promotional literature may include charts, graphs and
other illustrations using the Trust's returns, or returns in general, that
demonstrate basic investment concepts such as tax-deferred compounding,
dollar-cost averaging and systematic investment. In addition, the Trust can
compare its performance, or performance for the types of securities in which it
invests, to a variety of other investments, such as bank savings accounts,
certificates of deposit, and Treasury bills.
