 INFORMATION SUMMARY
 
1.  WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?
The Fund is a money market fund which seeks to provide high current income and
stability of principal.
 
2.  IN WHAT DOES THE FUND INVEST?
The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of short-term U.S.
dollar-denominated money market instruments, including bank certificates of
deposit and bankers' acceptances, commercial paper and repurchase agreements,
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and
instrumentalities, and in bank obligations and commercial paper of foreign
issuers, with remaining maturities of thirteen months or less from the date of
purchase.
 
3.  WHAT ARE THE RISKS?
The Fund is not insured by the FDIC, and while it attempts to maintain a $1 per
share price, there are no guarantees that it will be able to do so. The Prime
Fund may purchase certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances issued or
supported by the credit of foreign branches of domestic banks, domestic branches
of foreign banks and foreign branches of foreign banks, as well as commercial
paper issued by foreign issuers, which present greater risk than funds investing
only in U.S. debt obligations. Such risks include future political and economic
developments.
 
4.  IS THE FUND APPROPRIATE FOR ME?
This Fund is appropriate for investors seeking relative safety and accessibility
of their investment. A money market fund compared to other fixed income or
equity mutual funds, over time, has offered investors the least amount of
principal risk, as well as the least amount of return potential.
 
5.  WHAT ARE THE FEES OR EXPENSES?
NO LOAD or sales commission is charged to invest in the Fund or reinvest
dividends. No fees will be charged for reinvested dividends, exchanges between
other Pacific Horizon funds or redemptions from the Fund. Additionally there are
no 12b-1 fees. The operating expenses, as a percentage of average net assets,
charged directly by the Fund are described in the fee table below:

- ------------------------------------------------------
 INFORMATION SUMMARY
 
1.  WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?
 
The Fund seeks total investment return comprised of capital appreciation and
current income consistent with prudent investment risk.
 
2.  IN WHAT DOES THE FUND INVEST?
 
The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of convertible bonds and preferred
stock ("Convertible Stock"). This Fund maintains at least a 65% position in
convertible securities. To further maximize performance the Fund also invests in
common stocks and cash equivalents. Securities are selected primarily for
capital appreciation with yield as a secondary objective.
 
3.  WHAT ARE THE RISKS?
 
The Fund is not insured by the FDIC. In addition, while any investment carries
some risk, the risk of loss through default is greater with lower-rated
convertible securities than with investment grade securities because these lower
rated securities are often unsecured and subordinate to an issuer's other
obligations. Consequently, the market price of these securities and the net
asset value of the Fund's shares may be quite volatile.
 
4.  IS THE FUND APPROPRIATE FOR ME?
 
This Fund is appropriate for investors who seek to capture higher growth than
offered by bonds alone, have the capacity to absorb minor fluctuations in their
investment, and want a balance of growth and income with moderate returns. This
Fund seeks to provide investors with returns comprised of current income and
capital appreciation with prudent investment risk.
 
5.  WHAT ARE THE FEES OR EXPENSES?
 
A maximum Front-End Sales Load of 4.5% is a shareholder transaction expense
charged on the initial investment into A Shares of the Fund unless an exemption
is otherwise provided. No fees will be charged for reinvested dividends,
exchanges between other Pacific Horizon funds or (other than described below for
Large Purchase Exemption) redemptions from the Fund. Additionally there are no
12b-1 fees. The operating expenses, as a percentage of average net assets,
charged directly by the Fund are described in the fee table below:

The above expenses represent full fees charged to the Fund without waivers. The
investment adviser and administrator may voluntarily waive a portion of their
respective fees from time to time.
 
*There is no front-end sales load on A Shares you purchase if you have either a
 combined purchase of A Shares of the Company of $1,000,000 or more or if the
 aggregate value of A Shares that you beneficially own in any Pacific Horizon
 Fund or Time Horizon Fund equals or exceeds $1,000,000 ("Large Purchase
 Exemption"). A Shares purchased under the Large Purchase Exemption (except A
 Shares purchased under the Daily Advantage or Advantage Plus Programs) are
 subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% and 0.50% respectively,
 on redemption within one and two years after purchase. The contingent deferred
 sales charge is paid to the Distributor. A Shares cannot be purchased under the
 Large Purchase Exemption if there is another no-load exemption available.

- ------------------------------------------------------
 INFORMATION SUMMARY
 
1.  WHAT IS THE FUND'S OBJECTIVE?
 
The Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current interest income free from
Federal and California state personal income tax as is consistent with prudent
investment management and preservation of capital.
 
2.  IN WHAT DOES THE FUND INVEST?
 
The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of mainly investment grade
tax-exempt obligations and notes issued by California and other states or
territories of the U.S.
 
3.  WHAT ARE THE RISKS?
The Fund is not insured by the FDIC. In addition, the Fund's concentration in
obligations of California governmental issuers presents greater risks than
investing in a less geographically concentrated investment portfolio. Economic
factors such as reduction in defense spending, a decline in tourism and high
levels of unemployment have had an adverse effect on the California economy.
These factors affect the ability of governmental entities to repay debt. In
addition, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in lower-rated
municipal securities or "junk bonds." While any investment carries some risk,
the risk of loss through default is greater with lower-rated securities than
with investment grade securities because these lower-rated securities are often
unsecured and subordinate to an issuers, other obligations. Consequently, the
market price of these securities and the net asset value of the Fund's shares
may be quite volatile.
 
4.  IS THE FUND APPROPRIATE FOR ME?
 
This Fund is appropriate for investors who seek moderate returns, have the
capacity to absorb minor fluctuations in their investment, and who seek
after-tax income that may be higher than many taxable bond funds.
 
5.  WHAT ARE THE FEES OR EXPENSES?
 
A maximum Front-End Sales Load of 4.5% is a shareholder transaction expense
charged on the initial investment into A shares of the Fund unless an exemption
is otherwise provided. No fees will be charged for reinvested dividends,
exchanges between other Pacific Horizon funds or (other than described below for

Management fees include fee waivers. Without fee waivers management fees would
