TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET
1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?
Tax-Free Money Market seeks safety of principal and high current income
that is exempt from federal income tax.
2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
The fund managers buy high-quality, cash-equivalent securities with
income payments exempt from federal income tax. Cities, counties and other
municipalities in the 50 states and U.S. territories usually issue these
securities for public projects.
The fund managers also buy some high-quality, cash- equivalent
securities whose payments are exempt from regular federal income tax, but
not the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
municipalities usually issue these securities (called private activity
bonds) to fund for- profit private projects, such as hospitals and athletic
stadiums. No more than 20% of the fund's total assets may be invested in
these securities.
Additional information about Tax-Free Money Market's investments is
available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will
find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.
3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?
*An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your
investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in
the fund.
*Because cash-equivalent securities are among the safest securities
available, the interest they pay is among the lowest for income-paying
securities. Accordingly, the yield on this fund will likely be lower than
funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.
*Some of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum
tax.
*Because the fund invests primarily in municipal securities, it will be
sensitive to events that affect municipal markets. Tax-Free Money Market
may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe
of securities.
