1.  WHAT IS THE FUND'S GOAL?

The Fund's investment objective is liquidity, protection of capital and current
income through investments in short-term money market instruments.

2.  HOW IS THE PORTFOLIO INVESTED?

The Fund invests 95% of its assets in short-term money market securities that
are rated within the highest rating category for short term debt obligations by
at least two nationally recognized rating services or unrated securities of
comparable investment quality.  These eligible securities must mature in 13
months or less and the Fund's portfolio must have a dollar-weighted average
maturity of 90 days or less.

3.  WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

The short-term money market securities in which the Fund invests are high
quality investments, posing low credit and interest rate risk.  The current
yield of the Fund will generally go up or down with the changes in the level of
interest rates.  Because the risk to the money an investor invests is low, the
potential for profit is also low.  The Fund may experience risks including
interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and risk associated with foreign
securities.  Investments in the Fund are neither insured nor guaranteed by the
U.S. Government. The Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio
securities and tries to keep its net asset value at $1.00 per share.  There can
be no assurance that the Fund will maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per
share at all times.

4.  IS THE FUND APPROPRIATE FOR YOU?

The Fund is appropriate for investors who want to minimize risk.
