Please read this prospectus before investing in the fund, and keep it for future
reference. It contains important information, including how the fund invests and
the services available to shareholders.

To learn more about the fund and its policies, you may request a copy of the
fund's Statement of Additional Information ("SAI"), dated November 1, 1998,
which we may amend from time to time. We have filed the SAI with the SEC and
have incorporated it by reference into this prospectus. For a free copy of the
SAI or a larger print version of this prospectus, contact your investment
representative or call 1-800/321-8563.

AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE FUND WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A
STABLE $1 SHARE PRICE.

MUTUAL FUND SHARES ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED
BY, ANY BANK, AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, OR ANY OTHER AGENCY OF THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT. MUTUAL FUND SHARES INVOLVE INVESTMENT RISKS, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE
LOSS OF PRINCIPAL.

LIKE ALL MUTUAL FUND SHARES, THE SEC HAS NOT APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THESE

ABOUT THE FUND

EXPENSE SUMMARY

This table is designed to help you understand the costs of investing in the
fund. It is based on the fund's historical expenses, including its proportionate
share of the Portfolio's expenses, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. The
fund's actual expenses may vary.

A. SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES+
Exchange Fee (per transaction) $5.00*

B. ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(as a percentage of average net assets)
Management and Administration Fees 0.40%**
Rule 12b-1 Fees 0.25%***
Other Expenses of the Fund and the Portfolio 0.11%
-------
Total Fund Operating Expenses 0.76%**
=======

C. EXAMPLE

Assume the fund's annual return is 5%, operating expenses are as described
above, and you sell your shares after the number of years shown. These are
the projected expenses for each $1,000 that you invest in the fund.

1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS
$8 $24 $42 $94

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. IT DOES NOT REPRESENT PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES OR
RETURNS. ACTUAL EXPENSES AND RETURNS MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The fund pays its operating expenses. The effects of these expenses are
reflected in its Net Asset Value or dividends and are not directly charged
to your account.

**For the period shown, Advisers had agreed in advance to limit its management
and administration fees. With this reduction, management fees of the Portfolio
were 0.14% and administration fees of the fund were 0%. Total fund operating
expenses were 0.50%. The total fund operating expenses are different than the
ratio of expenses to average net assets shown under "Financial Highlights" due
to a timing difference between the end of the 12b-1 plan year and the fund's
fiscal year end.

***These fees may not exceed 0.25%.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This table summarizes the fund's financial history. The information has been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the fund's independent auditor. The audit
report covering the periods shown below appears in the financial statements in
the fund's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998. The Annual Report to Shareholders also includes more information about the
fund's performance. For a free copy, please call 1-800/321-8563.

HOW DOES THE FUND INVEST ITS ASSETS?

WHAT IS THE FUND'S GOAL?

The investment goal of the fund is to provide investors with as high a level of
current income as is consistent with the preservation of shareholders' capital
and liquidity. This goal is fundamental, which means that it may not be changed
without shareholder approval. The fund also tries to maintain a stable Net Asset
Value of $1 per share.

THE FUND'S INVESTMENT IN THE PORTFOLIO

The fund seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing all of its assets in
the Portfolio. The Portfolio has the same investment goal as the fund. Like the
fund's goal, the Portfolio's goal is fundamental, which means that it may not be
changed without shareholder approval. The fund's investment policies are also
substantially similar to the Portfolio's except the fund may pursue its policies
by investing in an open-end management investment company with the same
investment goal and substantially similar policies and restrictions as the fund.
The fund buys shares of the Portfolio at Net Asset Value. An investment in the
fund is an indirect investment in the Portfolio.

It is possible that the fund may have to withdraw its investment in the
Portfolio and subsequently invest in another open-end management investment
company with the same investment goal and policies. This could happen if the
Portfolio changes it's investment goal or if the Board, at any time, considers
it in the fund's best interest to withdraw the fund's investment from the
Portfolio.

The fund's structure, where it invests all of its assets in the Portfolio, is
sometimes called a "Master/Feeder" structure. You will find more detailed
information about this fund structure and potential risks associated with it in
the SAI.

WHAT KINDS OF SECURITIES DOES THE PORTFOLIO BUY?

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing in high-quality,
short-term money market securities. The portfolio invests in high-quality money
market securities of domestic and foreign issuers, including U.S. Government
securities and repurchase agreements. Because the Portfolio limits its
investments to high-quality securities, it will generally earn lower yields than
a portfolio with lower quality securities that are subject to greater risk.
Accordingly, the yield to shareholders in the Portfolio, and thus the fund, will
likely be lower.

QUALITY, MATURITY AND DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS. The Portfolio, like all money
funds, follows SEC guidelines on the quality, maturity and diversification of
its investments. These guidelines are designed to help reduce a money fund's
risks so that it is more likely to keep its share price at $1.

o The fund only buys securities that Advisers determines present minimal
credit risks and that are rated in one of the top two short-term rating
categories or that are comparable unrated securities in Advisers' opinion.

o The Portfolio only buys securities with remaining maturities of 397 calendar
days or less and maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90
days or less.

o Generally, the Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in
the securities of a single issuer, other than in U.S. government securities.

More information about the Portfolio's diversification policies, and details of
the credit quality ratings are included in the SAI.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES include marketable fixed, floating and variable
rate securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies,
or by various instrumentalities that have been established or sponsored by
the U.S. government. Some of these securities, including U.S. Treasury bills,
notes and bonds and securities of the Government National Mortgage
Association and the Federal Housing Administration, are issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government or carry a guarantee that is supported by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government. Other U.S. government securities are
issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or government-sponsored enterprises
and are not direct obligations of the U.S. government. Instead, they involve
sponsorship or guarantees by government agencies or enterprises. For example,
some securities are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
U.S. Treasury, such as obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank. Others,
such as obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association, are
supported only by the credit of the instrumentality.

BANK OBLIGATIONS, or instruments secured by bank obligations, include fixed,
floating or variable rate CDs, letters of credit, time deposits, bank notes and
bankers' acceptances. The Portfolio will invest in these obligations or
instruments issued by banks and savings institutions with assets of at least $1
billion. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits that are held in a banking
institution for a specified time at a stated interest rate. The Portfolio may
not invest more than 10% of its assets in time deposits with more than seven
days to maturity.

The Portfolio may invest in obligations of U.S. banks, foreign branches of
U.S. banks, foreign branches of foreign banks, and U.S. branches of foreign
banks that have a federal or state charter to do business in the U.S. and are
subject to U.S. regulatory authorities. The Portfolio may invest in an
obligation issued by a branch of a bank only if the parent bank has assets of
at least $5 billion, and may invest only up to 25% of its assets in
obligations of foreign branches of U.S. or foreign banks. The Portfolio may,
however, invest more than 25% of its assets in certain domestic bank
obligations, including U.S. branches of foreign banks.

COMMERCIAL PAPER typically refers to short-term obligations of banks,
corporations and other borrowers with maturities of up to 270 days. The
Portfolio may invest in domestic or foreign commercial paper.

CORPORATE OBLIGATIONS may include fixed, floating and variable rate bonds,
debentures or notes.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PORTFOLIO'S OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND PRACTICES?

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are those where payment and
delivery for the security take place at a future date. Since the market price of
the security may fluctuate during the time before payment and delivery, the
Portfolio assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be
more or less than the purchase price.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Portfolio will generally have a portion of its assets
in cash or cash equivalents. To earn income on this portion of its assets, the
Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and
broker-dealers. Under a repurchase agreement, the Portfolio agrees to buy a U.S.
government security from one of these issuers and then to sell the security back
to the issuer after a short period of time (generally, less than seven days) at
a higher price. The bank or broker-dealer must transfer to the Portfolio's
custodian securities with an initial value of at least 102% of the dollar amount
invested by the Portfolio in each repurchase agreement.

PORTFOLIO TRADING. The Portfolio may actively trade securities in its portfolio,
without any limits, if Advisers believes that yields can be increased by doing
so. Advisers considers current market conditions, cash requirements and its
revised evaluations of a security when determining whether or not to hold
securities until maturity. The yield on some securities held by the Portfolio
may decline if the securities are sold before maturity.

ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS. The Portfolio's policy is not to invest more than 10% of
its net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are generally
securities that cannot be sold within seven days in the normal course of
business at approximately the amount at which the Portfolio has valued them.

OTHER POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS. The fund and the Portfolio have a number of
additional investment policies and restrictions that govern their activities.
Those that are identified as fundamental may only be changed with shareholder
approval. The others may be change by the Board or the Board of Trustees of
Money Market alone. For a list of these restrictions and more information about
the fund's and the Portfolio's investment policies, including those described
above, please see "How Does the Fund Invest its Assets?" and "Investment
Restrictions" in the SAI.

Generally, the policies and restrictions discussed in this prospectus and in the
SAI apply when the fund or the Portfolio makes an investment. In most cases, the
fund and the Portfolio are not required to sell a security because circumstances
change and the security no longer meets one or more of the fund's or the
Portfolio's policies or restrictions.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

Like all investments, an investment in the fund involves risk. The risks of the
fund are basically the same as those of other investments in money market
securities. The short duration and high credit quality of the securities in
which the Portfolio, and thus the fund, invests may help reduce the risks
detailed below.

There is no assurance that the fund or the Portfolio will meet its investment
goal. Although the fund tries to maintain a stable share price of $1, there is
no assurance that it will be able to do so.

INTEREST RATE RISK is the risk that changes in interest rates can reduce the
value of a security. Generally when interest rates rise, the value of a security
falls. The opposite is also true: security prices go up when interest rates
fall.

INCOME RISK is the risk that the Portfolio's, and thus the fund's, income will
decrease due to falling interest rates. Since the fund can only distribute what
it earns, the fund's distributions to its shareholders may decline when interest
rates fall.

CREDIT RISK is the possibility that an issuer will be unable to make interest
payments or repay principal. Changes in an issuer's financial strength or in a
security's credit rating may affect its value.

MARKET RISK is the risk that a security's value will be reduced by market
activity or the results of supply and demand. This a basic risk associated with
all securities, When there are more sellers than buyers, prices tend to fall.
Likewise, when there are more buyers, prices tend to increase.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investments in securities of foreign issuers, including
obligations of foreign branches of U.S. and foreign banks and obligations of
U.S. branches of foreign banks, involve special risks. These risks include
future unfavorable political and economic developments, possible withholding
taxes, seizure of foreign deposits, currency controls, interest limitations, or
other governmental restrictions that may affect the payment of principal or
interest on securities held by the Portfolio. In addition, there may be less
publicly available information about foreign issuers.

WHO ADMINISTERS THE FUND?

THE BOARD. The Board oversees the management of the fund and elects its
officers. The officers are responsible for the fund's day-to-day operations.

The Board, with approval of all disinterested and interested Board members, has
adopted written procedures designed to deal with potential conflicts of interest
that may arise from the Trust and Money Market having substantially the same
boards. These procedures call for an annual review of the fund's relationship
with the Portfolio. If a conflict exists, the boards may take action, which may
include the establishment of a new board. The Board has determined that there
are no conflicts of interest at the present time. For more information, please
see "Summary of Procedures to Monitor Conflicts of Interest" and "Officers and
Trustees" in the SAI.

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND ADMINISTRATOR. Advisers manages the Portfolio's assets
and makes its investment decisions. Advisers also performs similar services
for other funds. It is wholly owned by Resources, a publicly owned company
engaged in the financial services industry through its subsidiaries. Charles
B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. are the principal shareholders of
Resources. Together, Advisers and its affiliates manage over $236 billion in
assets. Advisers is also the administrator of the fund. Please see
"Investment Management and Other Services" and "Miscellaneous Information" in
the SAI for information on securities transactions and a summary of the
fund's Code of Ethics.

MANAGEMENT FEES. You will bear a portion of the Portfolio's operating expenses,
including its management fees, to the extent that the fund, as a shareholder of
the Portfolio, bears these expenses. The portion of the Portfolio's expenses
borne by the fund depends on the fund's proportionate share of the Portfolio's
net assets. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the fund's proportionate
share of the Portfolio's management fees, before any advance waiver, totaled
0.15% of the average daily net assets of the fund. The fund's administration
fees, before any advance waiver, totaled 0.25%. Total operating expenses,
including fees paid to Advisers before any advance waiver, were 0.76%. Under an
agreement by Advisers to limit its fees, the fund paid a proportionate share of
the Portfolio's management fees totaling 0.14% and no administration fees. Total
expenses of the fund were 0.50%. Advisers may end this arrangement at any time
upon notice to the Board.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS. Advisers tries to obtain the best execution on all
transactions. If Advisers believes more than one broker or dealer can provide
the best execution, it may consider research and related services and the sale
of fund shares, as well as shares of other funds in the Franklin Templeton Group
of Funds, when selecting a broker or dealer. Please see "How Does the Portfolio
Buy Securities for Its Portfolio?" in the SAI for more information.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE. Like other mutual funds, the fund could be adversely affected
if the computer systems used by Advisers and other service providers do not
properly process date-related information on or after January 1, 2000 ("Year
2000 Issue"). The Year 2000 Issue, and in particular foreign service providers'
responsiveness to the issue, could affect portfolio and operational areas
including securities trade processing, interest and dividend payments,
securities pricing, shareholder account services, reporting, custody functions,
and others. While there can be no assurance that the fund will not be adversely
affected, Advisers and its affiliated service providers are taking steps that
they believe are reasonably designed to address the Year 2000 Issue, including
seeking reasonable assurances from the fund's other major service providers.

THE RULE 12B-1 PLAN

The fund has a distribution plan or "Rule 12b-1 Plan" under which it may
reimburse Distributors or others for the expenses of activities that are
primarily intended to sell shares of the fund. These expenses may include, among
others, distribution or service fees paid to Securities Dealers or others who
have executed a servicing agreement with the fund, Distributors or its
affiliates; a prorated portion of Distributors' overhead expenses; and the
expenses of printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, and
preparing and distributing sales literature and advertisements.

Payments by the fund under the plan may not exceed 0.25% per year of the fund's
average daily net assets. All distribution expenses over this amount will be
borne by those who have incurred them. For more information, please see "The
Fund's Underwriter" in the SAI.

HOW TAXATION AFFECTS THE FUND AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS

TAXATION OF THE FUND. As a regulated investment company, the fund generally pays
no federal income tax on the income and gains that it distributes to you.

DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions from the fund, whether you receive them in cash or
in additional shares, are generally subject to income tax. The fund will send
you a statement in January of each year that reflects the amount of ordinary
dividends you received from the fund in the prior year. This statement will
include distributions declared in December and paid to you in January of the
following year, but which are taxable as if paid on December 31 of the prior
year. The IRS requires you to report these amounts on your income tax return for
the prior year.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO RETIREMENT PLANS. Fund distributions received by your qualified
retirement plan, such as a section 401(k) plan or IRA, are generally
tax-deferred; this means that you are not required to report fund distributions
on your income tax return when paid to your plan, but, rather, when your plan
makes payments to you. Special rules apply to payouts from Roth and Education
IRAs.

DIVIDENDS-RECEIVED DEDUCTION. It is anticipated that no portion of the fund's
distributions will qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction.

REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES. Because the fund expects to maintain a $1.00 net
asset value per share, you should not have any gain or loss on the redemption or
exchange of fund shares.

MUNICIPAL INVESTORS. A municipality that invests the proceeds of a bond offering
in the fund should be aware that some or all of the earnings distributed by the
fund may need to be paid to the U.S. as a rebate of arbitrage profits. You may
wish to contact your tax advisor to determine the effect, if any, of payments by
the fund with respect to the arbitrage rebate requirements.

NON-U.S. INVESTORS. Ordinary dividends generally will be subject to U.S.
income tax withholding. Your home country may also tax ordinary dividends.
Fund shares held by the estate of a non-U.S. investor may be subject to U.S.
estate tax. You may wish to contact your tax advisor to determine the U.S.
and non-U.S. tax consequences of your investment in the fund.

STATE TAXES. Ordinary dividends that you receive from the fund will generally be
subject to state and local income tax. It is anticipated that no portion of the
fund's distributions will qualify for exemption from state and local income tax
as dividends paid from interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S.
Government. The holding of fund shares may also be subject to state and local
intangibles taxes. You may wish to contact your tax advisor to determine the
state and local tax consequences of your investment in the fund.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING. When you open an account, IRS regulations require that you
provide your taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), certify that it is correct,
and certify that you are not subject to backup withholding under IRS rules. If
you fail to provide a correct TIN or the proper tax certifications, the fund is
required to withhold 31% of all taxable distributions (including ordinary
dividends and capital gain distributions), and redemption proceeds paid to you.
The fund is also required to begin backup withholding on your account if the IRS
instructs the fund to do so. The fund reserves the right not to open your
account, or, alternatively, to redeem your shares at the current net asset
value, less any taxes withheld, if you fail to provide a correct TIN, fail to
provide the proper tax certifications, or the IRS instructs the fund to begin
backup withholding on your account.

THIS TAX DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS
SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR
FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND. A MORE COMPLETE
DISCUSSION OF THESE RULES AND RELATED MATTERS IS CONTAINED IN THE SECTION
ENTITLED "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES" IN THE SAI. YOU MAY

INSTITUTIONAL SERVICES.

HOW IS THE TRUST ORGANIZED?

The fund is a no-load, diversified series of Institutional Fiduciary Trust (the
"Trust"), an open-end management investment company, commonly called a mutual
fund. It was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 15, 1985 and
is registered with the SEC. Shares of each series of the Trust have equal and
exclusive rights to dividends and distributions declared by that series and the
net assets of the series in the event of liquidation or dissolution. Shares of
the fund are considered Class I shares for redemption, exchange and other
purposes. Additional series may be offered in the future.

The Trust has noncumulative voting rights. This gives holders of more than 50%
of the shares voting the ability to elect all of the members of the Board. If
this happens, holders of the remaining shares voting will not be able to elect
anyone to the Board.

The Trust does not intend to hold annual shareholder meetings. The Trust or a
series of the Trust may hold special meetings, however, for matters requiring
shareholder approval. A meeting may also be called by the Board in its
discretion or by shareholders holding at least 10% of the outstanding shares. In
certain circumstances, we are required to help you communicate with other
shareholders about the removal of a Board member.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

HOW DO I BUY SHARES?

OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT

You may buy shares of the fund without a sales charge. The fund is available
exclusively to retirement plan participants and other institutional investors,
including corporations, banks, savings and loan associations, and government
entities. Individuals may not otherwise buy shares of the fund. In the case of
retirement plans, there is no required minimum initial investment amount and
shares of the fund must be registered at the omnibus level. Although the amount
that may be contributed to the various investment options under a retirement
plan in any one year is subject to certain limitations, assets already held by a
retirement plan may be invested in the fund without regard to the limitations.
Certain institutional investors, such as corporations, banks, and savings and
loan associations, may also purchase shares of the fund subject to a minimum
initial investment of $100,000. Government entities, however, including states,
counties, cities, and their instrumentalities, departments, agencies, and
authorities may open an account in the fund with a minimum initial investment of
$1,000. Subsequent purchases are not subject to a minimum purchase requirement.
We reserve the right to refuse any order to buy shares.

To open your account, please follow the steps below. This will help avoid any
delays in processing your request.

Make your investment using the table below.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
METHOD STEPS TO FOLLOW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BY MAIL 1. For an initial investment, complete and sign an
application.

2. Return the application to the fund with your
check, Federal Reserve draft or negotiable bank
draft made payable to the fund. Instruments drawn
on other investment companies may not be
accepted.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BY WIRE
See "Holiday Schedule" 1. Call Institutional Services at 1-800/321-8563 or
under "Transaction 650/312-3600 to receive a wire control number.
Procedures and Special You need a new wire control number every time
Requirements." you wire money into your account. If you do not
have a currently effective wire control number,
we will return the money to the bank, and we will
not credit the purchase to your account.

2. Wire the funds to Bank of America, ABA routing
number 121000358, for credit to Institutional
Fiduciary Trust-Franklin Cash Reserves Fund, A/C
1493-3-04779. Your name, account number, and wire
control number must be included.

3. For an initial investment you must also return
your signed application to the fund. For
investments over $50,000, you also need to
complete the Institutional Telephone Privileges
Agreement.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THROUGH YOUR DEALER Call your investment representative
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the fund receives your order in proper form before 3:00 p.m. Pacific time, we
will credit the purchase to your account that day. Orders received after 3:00
p.m. will be credited the following business day.

Many of the fund's investments, through the Portfolio, must be paid for in
federal funds, which are monies held by the fund's custodian bank on deposit at
the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and elsewhere. The fund generally
cannot invest money received from you until it is converted into and is
available to the fund in federal funds. Therefore, your purchase order may not
be considered in proper form until the money received from you is available in
federal funds, which may take up to two days. If the fund is able to make
investments immediately (within one business day), it may accept your order with
payment in other than federal funds.

When you buy shares, if you submit a check or a draft that is returned unpaid to
the fund we may impose a $10 charge against your account for each returned item.

The investment authority of certain investors may be restricted by law. If you
are such an investor, you should consult your legal advisor to determine whether
and to what extent shares of the fund are legal investments for you. If you are
a municipal investor considering investing proceeds of bond offerings, you
should consult with expert counsel to determine the effect, if any, of payments
by the fund on arbitrage rebate calculations.

PAYMENTS TO SECURITIES DEALERS

If you buy shares through a Securities Dealer, Distributors may make a payment
to the Securities Dealer out of its own resources. Please contact Institutional
Services for more information.

MAY I EXCHANGE SHARES FOR SHARES OF ANOTHER FUND?

We offer a wide variety of funds. The shares of most of these funds are offered
to the public with a sales charge. If you would like, you can move your
investment from your fund account to an existing or new account in another
Franklin Templeton Fund (an "exchange"). Because it is technically a sale and a
purchase of shares, an exchange is a taxable transaction.

Before making an exchange, please read the prospectus of the fund you are
interested in. This will help you learn about the fund, its investment goal and
policies, and its rules and requirements for exchanges. For example, some
Franklin Templeton Funds do not accept exchanges and others may have different
investment minimums.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BY PHONE 1. Call Institutional Services at 1-800/321-8563

2. For requests over $50,000, you must complete an
Institutional Telephone Privileges Agreement.

Please refer to "Transaction Procedures and Special Requirements" for other
important information on how to exchange shares.

WILL SALES CHARGES APPLY TO MY EXCHANGE?

You will generally pay the applicable front-end sales charge of the fund you are
exchanging into, unless you acquired your fund shares under the exchange
privilege. These charges may not apply if you qualify to buy shares without a
sales charge. For example, certain institutional investors such as government
entities, certain retirement plans, trust companies, and bank trust departments,
may buy Class I shares of other Franklin Templeton Funds without a sales charge.

RETIREMENT PLANS

Retirement plan participants may exchange shares in accordance with the options
available under, and the requirements of, their plan and plan administrator.
Retirement plan administrators may charge a fee in connection with exchanges.

EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS

Please be aware that the following restrictions apply to exchanges:

o You must meet the applicable minimum investment amount of the fund you are
exchanging into, or exchange 100% of your fund shares.

o You may only exchange shares within the SAME CLASS, except as noted below.

o The accounts must be identically registered.

o The fund you are exchanging into must be eligible for sale in your state.

o We may modify or discontinue our exchange policy if we give you 60 days'
written notice.

o Your exchange may be restricted or refused if you have: (i) requested an
exchange out of the fund within two weeks of an earlier exchange request,
(ii) exchanged shares out of the fund more than twice in a calendar
quarter, or (iii) exchanged shares equal to at least $5 million, or more
than 1% of the fund's net assets. Shares under common ownership or control
are combined for these limits. If you have exchanged shares as described in
this paragraph, you will be considered a Market Timer. Each exchange by a
Market Timer, if accepted, will be charged $5.00. Some of our funds do not
allow investments by Market Timers.

Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance, operations and
shareholders, we may refuse any exchange purchase if (i) we believe the fund
would be harmed or unable to invest effectively, or (ii) the fund receives or
anticipates simultaneous orders that may significantly affect the fund.

LIMITED EXCHANGES BETWEEN DIFFERENT CLASSES OF SHARES

Certain funds in the Franklin Templeton Funds offer classes of shares not
offered by the fund, such as "Advisor Class" or "Class Z" shares. Because the
fund does not currently offer an Advisor Class, you may exchange Advisor Class
shares of any Franklin Templeton Fund for shares of the fund at Net Asset Value.
If you do so and you later decide you would like to exchange into a fund that
offers an Advisor Class, you may exchange your fund shares for Advisor Class
shares of that fund. Certain shareholders of Class Z shares of Franklin Mutual
Series Fund Inc. may also exchange their Class Z shares for shares of the fund
at Net Asset Value.

HOW DO I SELL SHARES?

You may sell (redeem) your shares at any time.

2. Provide a signature guarantee if required

BY PHONE
See "Holiday Schedule" Call Institutional Services at 1-800/321-8563
under "Transaction
Procedures and Special o You may exceed $50,000 by completing a separate
Requirements" agreement. Call Institutional Services to
receive a copy.

o Telephone requests will be accepted unless the
address on your account was changed by phone
within the last 15 days.

We will send your redemption check within seven days after we receive your
request in proper form. We are not able to receive or pay out cash in the form
of currency. If you sell your shares by phone, the check may only be made
payable to all registered owners on the account and sent to the address of
record. If requested, redemption proceeds may also be wired directly to a
commercial bank previously designated by you on an application, or in a
signature-guaranteed letter of instruction.

Telephone redemption orders may not be used to direct payments to another party
or non-designated account. Written instructions will be required.

The wiring of redemption proceeds is a special service that we make available
whenever possible. If we receive your request in proper form before 3:00 p.m.
Pacific time, your wire payment will be sent the next business day. For requests
received in proper form after 3:00 p.m. Pacific time, the payment will be sent
the second business day. By offering this service to you, the fund is not bound
to meet any redemption request in less than the seven-day period prescribed by
law. Neither the fund nor its agents shall be liable to you or any other person
if, for any reason, a redemption request by wire is not processed as described
in this section.

If you sell shares you recently purchased with a check or draft, we may delay
sending you the proceeds until your check or draft has cleared, which may take
seven business days or more. A certified or cashier's check may clear in less
time.

Under unusual circumstances, we may suspend redemptions or postpone payment for
more than seven days as permitted by federal securities law.

Please refer to "Transaction Procedures and Special Requirements" for other
important information on how to sell shares.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE

Most Franklin Templeton Funds impose a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
certain investments if you sell all or a part of the investment within the
Contingency Period. While the fund generally does not impose a Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge, it will do so if you sell shares that were exchanged into
the fund from another Franklin Templeton Fund and those shares would have been
assessed a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge in the other fund. The charge is 1%
of the value of the shares sold or the Net Asset Value at the time of purchase,
whichever is less. The time the shares are held in the fund does not count
towards the completion of any Contingency Period.

We will first redeem any shares in your account that are not subject to the
charge. If there are not enough of these to meet your request, we will redeem
shares subject to the charge in the order they were purchased.

Unless otherwise specified, when you request to sell a stated DOLLAR AMOUNT, we
will redeem additional shares to cover any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For
requests to sell a stated NUMBER OF SHARES, we will deduct the amount of the
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, if any, from the sale proceeds.

WHAT DISTRIBUTIONS MIGHT I RECEIVE FROM THE FUND?

The fund declares dividends each day that its Net Asset Value is calculated and
pays them monthly. The daily allocation of net investment income begins on the
day after you make an investment and continues through the day you redeem your
shares or the settlement of a wire order trade.

Dividend payments may vary from day to day and may be omitted on some days,
depending on changes in the fund's net investment income. THE FUND DOES NOT PAY
"INTEREST" OR GUARANTEE ANY AMOUNT OF DIVIDENDS OR RETURN ON AN INVESTMENT IN
ITS SHARES.

DIVIDEND OPTIONS

Dividends will automatically be reinvested each day in the form of additional
shares of the fund at the Net Asset Value per share at the close of business.
You may also choose to receive dividends in cash. To do so, please notify the
fund or Institutional Services. Certain restrictions may apply to retirement
plans.

Since the net income of the fund is declared as a dividend each time the net
income is determined, the Net Asset Value per share of the fund is expected to
remain at $1.00 per share immediately after each such determination and dividend
declaration. Any increase in the value of your investment in the fund,
representing the reinvestment of dividend income, is reflected by an increase in
the number of shares in your account.

TRANSACTION PROCEDURES AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

SHARE PRICE

You buy and sell shares at Net Asset Value. We will use the Net Asset Value next
calculated after we receive your transaction request in proper form.

HOW AND WHEN SHARES ARE PRICED

The fund is open for business each day that both the NYSE and the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco are open. We determine the Net Asset Value per
share at 3:00 p.m. Pacific time. To calculate Net Asset Value per share, the
fund's assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and the
balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of shares outstanding. The
fund's assets are valued as described under "How Are Fund Shares Valued?" in the
SAI.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

The fund is informed that the NYSE and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco observe the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr.
Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day,
Labor Day, Columbus Day (observed), Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day. Although the fund expects the same holiday schedule to be
observed in the future, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the NYSE
may modify its holiday schedule at any time. Please place your trades as early
in the day as possible on a day before or after a holiday. To the extent that
the fund's portfolio securities are traded in other markets on days the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the NYSE is closed, the fund's Net Asset Value
may be affected when investors do not have access to the fund to buy or sell
shares. Other Franklin Templeton Funds may follow different holiday closing
schedules.

WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS

Written instructions must be signed by all registered owners. To avoid any delay
in processing your transaction, they should include:

o Your name,

o The fund's name,

o A description of the request,

o For exchanges, the name of the fund you are exchanging into,

o Your account number,

o The dollar amount or number of shares, and

o A telephone number where we may reach you during the day, or in the
evening if preferred.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

For our mutual protection, we require a signature guarantee in the following
situations:

1) You wish to sell over $50,000 worth of shares,

2) You want the proceeds to be paid to someone other than the registered
owners,

3) The proceeds are not being sent to the address of record, preauthorized bank
account, or preauthorized brokerage firm account,

4) We receive instructions from an agent, not the registered owners,

5) We believe a signature guarantee would protect us against potential claims
based on the instructions received.

A signature guarantee verifies the authenticity of your signature. You should be
able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker, credit union, savings
association, clearing agency, or securities exchange or association.
A NOTARIZED SIGNATURE IS NOT SUFFICIENT.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

We will credit your shares to your fund account. We do not issue share
certificates. This eliminates the costly problem of replacing lost, stolen or
destroyed certificates.

TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS

You may initiate many transactions and changes to your account by phone,
including by facsimile or computer. Please refer to the sections of this
prospectus that discuss the transaction you would like to make or call
Institutional Services at 1-800/321-8563.

When you call, we will request personal, corporate, or other identifying
information to confirm that instructions are genuine. We may also record calls.

If our lines are busy or you are otherwise unable to reach us by phone, you may
wish to ask your investment representative for assistance or send us written
instructions, as described elsewhere in this prospectus. For your protection, we
may delay a transaction or not implement one if we are not reasonably satisfied
that the instructions are genuine. If this occurs, we will not be liable for any
loss. We also will not be liable for any loss if we follow instructions by phone
that we reasonably believe are genuine or if you are unable to execute a
transaction by phone.

RETIREMENT PLANS. The telephone transaction options available to retirement
plans are limited to those that are provided under the plan.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS. For corporate, partnership and trust accounts, please send
us the following documents when you open your account. This will help avoid
delays in processing your transactions while we verify who may sign on the
account.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE OF ACCOUNT DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CORPORATION Corporate Resolution

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTNERSHIP 1. The pages from the partnership agreement that identify
the general partners, or

2. A certification for a partnership agreement

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUST 1. The pages from the trust document that identify the
trustees, or

2. A certification for trust
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KEEPING YOUR ACCOUNT OPEN

Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining a small account, we may close
your account if the value of your shares is less than $20,000 (or one-half the
minimum required investment, whichever is less). We will only do this if the
value of your account fell below this amount because you voluntarily sold your
shares and your account has been inactive (except for the reinvestment of
distributions) for at least six months. Before we close your account, we will
notify you and give you 30 days to increase the value of your account to the
minimum amount.

SERVICES TO HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT

CUMULATIVE QUANTITY DISCOUNTS

You may include the cost or current value (whichever is higher) of your fund
shares when determining if you may buy shares of another Franklin Templeton Fund
at a discount. You may also include your fund shares towards the completion of a
Letter of Intent established in connection with the purchase of shares of
another Franklin Templeton Fund.

For additional information regarding these programs, please call Institutional
Services at 1-800/321-8563.

STATEMENTS AND REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

We will send you the following statements and reports on a regular basis:

o Confirmation and account statements reflecting transactions in your account,
including additional purchases and dividend reinvestments. PLEASE VERIFY THE
ACCURACY OF YOUR STATEMENTS WHEN YOU RECEIVE THEM.

o Financial reports of the fund will be sent every six months. Call
Institutional Services if you would like an additional free copy of the
fund's financial reports.

SPECIAL SERVICES

Investor Services may charge separate fees to shareholders, to be negotiated
directly with such shareholders, for providing special services in connection
with their accounts, such as subaccounting, processing a large number of wires,
or other special handling which a shareholder may request. Such special services
to certain shareholders will not increase the expenses borne by the fund.

AVAILABILITY OF THESE SERVICES

The services above are available to most shareholders. If, however, your shares
are held by a financial institution or in a street name account, the fund may
not be able to offer these services directly to you. In particular, retirement
plans that use the services of Franklin's ValuSelect or another administrative
service should follow their standard procedures. Otherwise, retirement plans
will receive detailed instructions on how to access or make use of the various
options offered by the fund.

GENERAL

Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 3 pertaining to
Deposits with Financial Institutions provides, in paragraph 69, that investments
in mutual funds should be disclosed, but not categorized.

ABOUT THE FUNDS

EXPENSE SUMMARY

This table is designed to help you understand the costs of investing in
a fund. These estimated expenses are based on each fund's historical
expenses, including its proportionate share of the Portfolio's
expenses, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. Each fund's actual
expenses may vary.

MONEY U.S. SECURITIES
FUND FUND
A. SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES+
Exchange Fee (per transaction)* $5.00 $5.00

B. ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
(as a percentage of average net assets)
Management and Administration Fees** 0.35% 0.35%
Rule 12b-1 Fees*** 0.00% 0.00%
Other Expenses of the Fund
and the Portfolio 0.04% 0.06%
--------- --------
Total Fund Operating Expenses** 0.39% 0.41%
========= ========

C. EXAMPLE

Assume each fund's annual return is 5%, operating expenses are as
described above, and you sell your shares after the number of
years shown. These are the projected expenses for each $1,000
that you invest in a fund.

FUND 1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS
----------------------------------------------------------------
Money Fund $4 $13 $22 $49
U.S. Securities Fund $4 $13 $23 $52

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. IT DOES NOT REPRESENT PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES OR RETURNS. ACTUAL EXPENSES AND RETURNS MAY BE MORE OR
LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN. Each fund pays its operating expenses. The
effects of these expenses are reflected in its Net Asset Value or
dividends and are not directly charged to your account.

+If your transaction is processed through your Securities Dealer, you
may be charged a fee by your Securities Dealer for this service.
*$5.00 fee is only for Market Timers. We process all other exchanges
without a fee.
**For the period shown, Advisers had agreed in advance to waive or
limit its management and administration fees. With this reduction, for
the Money Fund, management fees of the Portfolio would have been 0.14%,
administration fees of the fund would have been 0.17% and total fund
operating expenses would have been 0.35%; for the U.S. Securities Fund,
management fees of the Portfolio would have been 0.14%, administration
fees of the fund would have been 0.15% and total fund operating
expenses would have been 0.35%.
***The funds have not been required to make payments for 12b-1 expenses.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This table summarizes each fund's financial history. The information
has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the funds' independent
auditor. The audit report covering each of the most recent five years
appears in the Trust's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998. The Annual Report to Shareholders also
includes more information about each fund's performance. For a free

HOW DO THE FUNDS INVEST THEIR ASSETS?

WHAT ARE THE FUNDS' GOALS?

The investment goal of the Money Fund and the U.S. Securities Fund is
to provide investors with as high a level of current income as is
consistent with preservation of shareholders' capital, and liquidity.
This goal is fundamental, which means that it may not be changed
without shareholder approval. Each fund also tries to maintain a stable
Net Asset Value of $1 per share.

THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT IN THE PORTFOLIO

The Money Fund seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing all of
its assets in the Money Portfolio. The U.S. Securities Fund seeks to
achieve its investment goal by investing all of its assets in the U.S.
Securities Portfolio. The Portfolio has the same investment goal as the
funds. Like each fund's goal, the Portfolio's goal is fundamental,
which means that it may not be changed without shareholder approval.
Each fund's investment policies are also substantially similar to the
Portfolio's except each fund may pursue its policies by investing in an
open-end management investment company with the same investment goal
and substantially similar policies and restrictions as the fund. Each
fund buys shares of the Portfolio at Net Asset Value. An investment in
a fund is an indirect investment in the Portfolio.

It is possible that a fund may have to withdraw its investments in the
Portfolio and subsequently invest in another open-end management
investment company with the same investment goal and policies. This
could happen if the Portfolio changes its investment goal or if the
Board, at any time, considers it in the fund's best interest to
withdraw the fund's investment from the Portfolio.

The funds' structure, where each fund invests all of its assets in the
Portfolio, is sometimes called a "Master/Feeder" structure. You will
find more detailed information about this fund structure and potential
risks associated with it in the SAI.

WHAT KINDS OF SECURITIES DOES THE PORTFOLIO BUY?

Because the Portfolio limits its investments to high-quality
securities, it will generally earn lower yields than a portfolio with
lower quality securities that are subject to greater risk. Accordingly,
the yield to shareholders in the Portfolio, and thus the funds, will
likely be lower.

QUALITY, MATURITY AND DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS. The Portfolio, like
all money funds, follows SEC guidelines on the quality, maturity and
diversification of its investments. These guidelines are designed to
help reduce a money fund's risks so that it is more likely to keep its
share price at $1.

o The funds only buy securities that Advisers determines present
minimal credit risks and that are rated in one of the top two
short-term rating categories or that are comparable unrated
securities in Advisers' opinion.

o The Portfolio only buys securities with remaining maturities of 397
calendar days or less and maintains a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

o Generally, the Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in the securities of a single issuer, other than in U.S.
government securities.

More information about the Portfolio's diversification policies, and
details of the credit quality ratings are included in the SAI.

THE U.S. SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

The U.S. Securities Portfolio may invest only in marketable securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, by various agencies of the
U.S. government and by various instrumentalities that have been
established or sponsored by the U.S. government or in repurchase
agreements (as described below) collateralized by such securities. As a
fundamental policy subject to change only by shareholder approval, the
U.S. Securities Portfolio will invest only in obligations, including
U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds and securities of the Government
National Mortgage Association (popularly called "GNMAs" or "Ginnie
Maes") and the Federal Housing Administration, which are issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or that carry a guarantee supported
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Repurchase
agreements with respect to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government and supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government are included within this fundamental policy.

At the present time, it is the U.S. Securities Portfolio's policy to
limit its investments to U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds and to
repurchase agreements collateralized only by such securities. This
policy may only be changed upon 30 days' written notice to shareholders
and to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

These U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements are
specifically permitted for investment through mutual funds by
California local agencies under California Government Code Sections
53601 and 53635. The California Government Code requires each
investment decision made by or on behalf of a California local agency
to be made consistently with the directives of the local agency's
legislative body and any other statutory or contractual limitations
applicable to the moneys being invested. Therefore, any person making
such a decision should first consult with expert counsel to assure the
decision is being made in compliance with those directives and
limitations.

THE MONEY PORTFOLIO

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing in
high-quality, short-term money market securities. The Portfolio invests
in high-quality money market securities of domestic and foreign
issuers, including U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES in which the Money Portfolio may invest
include marketable fixed, floating and variable rate securities issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, or by various
instrumentalities that have been established or sponsored by the U.S.
government. Some of these securities, including U.S. Treasury bills,
notes and bonds and securities of the Government National Mortgage
Association and the Federal Housing Administration, are issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or carry a guarantee that is
supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Other
U.S. government securities are issued or guaranteed by federal agencies
or government-sponsored enterprises and are not direct obligations of
the U.S. government. Instead, they involve sponsorship or guarantees by
government agencies or enterprises. For example, some securities are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury,
such as obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank. Others, such as
obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association, are supported
only by the credit of the instrumentality.

BANK OBLIGATIONS, or instruments secured by bank obligations, include
fixed, floating or variable rate CDs, letters of credit, time deposits,
bank notes and bankers' acceptances. The Money Portfolio will invest in
these obligations or instruments issued by banks and savings
institutions with assets of at least $1 billion. Time deposits are
non-negotiable deposits that are held in a banking institution for a
specified time at a stated interest rate. The Money Portfolio may not
invest more than 10% of its assets in time deposits with more than
seven days to maturity.

The Money Portfolio may invest in obligations of U.S. banks, foreign
branches of U.S. banks, foreign branches of foreign banks, and U.S.
branches of foreign banks that have a federal or state charter to do
business in the U.S. and are subject to U.S. regulatory authorities.
The Money Portfolio may invest in an obligation issued by a branch of a
bank only if the parent bank has assets of at least $5 billion, and may
invest only up to 25% of its assets in obligations of foreign branches
of U.S. or foreign banks. The Money Portfolio may, however, invest more
than 25% of its assets in certain domestic bank obligations, including
U.S. branches of foreign banks.

COMMERCIAL PAPER typically refers to short-term obligations of banks,
corporations and other borrowers with maturities of up to 270 days. The
Money Portfolio may invest in domestic or foreign commercial paper.

CORPORATE OBLIGATIONS may include fixed, floating and variable rate
bonds, debentures or notes.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE PORTFOLIOS' OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND
PRACTICES?

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The Money Portfolio may
buy and sell securities on a "when issued" and "delayed delivery"
basis, where payment and delivery for the security take place at a
future date. Since the market price of the security may fluctuate
during the time before payment and delivery, the Money Portfolio
assumes the risk that the value of the security at delivery may be more
or less than the purchase price.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Portfolio will generally have a portion of
its assets in cash or cash equivalents. To earn income on this portion
of its assets, the Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with
certain banks and broker-dealers. Under a repurchase agreement, the
Portfolio agrees to buy a U.S. government security from one of these
issuers and then to sell the security back to the issuer after a short
period of time (generally, less than seven days) at a higher price. The
bank or broker-dealer must transfer to the Portfolio's custodian
securities with an initial value of at least 102% of the dollar amount
invested by the Portfolio in each repurchase agreement.

The U.S. Securities Portfolio may not enter into a repurchase agreement
with more than seven days to maturity if, as a result, more than 10% of
the market value of its total assets would be invested in repurchase
agreements, together with any other investments for which market
quotations are not readily available.

PORTFOLIO TRADING. The Portfolio may actively trade securities in its
portfolio, without any limits, if Advisers believes that yields can be
increased by doing so. Advisers considers current market conditions,
cash requirements and its revised evaluations of a security when
determining whether or not to hold securities until maturity. The yield
on some securities held by the Portfolio may decline if the securities
are sold before maturity.

ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS. The Money Portfolio's policy is not to invest
more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid
securities are generally securities that cannot be sold within seven
days in the normal course of business at approximately the amount at
which the Money Portfolio has valued them.

OTHER POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS. Each fund and the Portfolio have a
number of additional investment policies and restrictions that govern
their activities. Those that are identified as fundamental may only be
changed with shareholder approval. The others may be changed by the
Board or the Board of Trustees of Money Market alone. For a list of
these restrictions and more information about each fund's and the
Portfolio's investment policies, including those described above,
please see "How Do the Funds Invest Their Assets?" and "Investment
Restrictions" in the SAI.

Generally, the policies and restrictions discussed in this prospectus
and in the SAI apply when a fund or the Portfolio makes an investment.
In most cases, a fund and the Portfolio are not required to sell a
security because circumstances change and the security no longer meets
one or more of the fund's or the Portfolio's policies or restrictions.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS?

Like all investments, an investment in a fund involves risk. The risks
of each fund are basically the same as those of other investments in
money market securities. The short duration and high credit quality of
the securities in which the Portfolio, and thus the fund, invests may
help reduce the risks detailed below.

There is no assurance that the funds or the Portfolio will meet their
investment goals. Although each fund tries to maintain a stable share
price of $1, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.

INTEREST RATE RISK is the risk that changes in interest rates can
reduce the value of a security. Generally when interest rates rise, the
value of a security falls. The opposite is also true: security prices
go up when interest rates fall.

INCOME RISK is the risk that the Portfolio's, and thus each fund's,
income will decrease due to falling interest rates. Since a fund can
only distribute what it earns, the fund's distributions to its
shareholders may decline when interest rates fall.

CREDIT RISK is the possibility that an issuer will be unable to make
interest payments or repay principal. Changes in an issuer's financial
strength or in a security's credit rating may affect its value.

MARKET RISK is the risk that a security's value will be reduced by
market activity or the results of supply and demand. This is a basic
risk associated with all securities. When there are more sellers than
buyers, prices tend to fall. Likewise, when there are more buyers,
prices tend to increase.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investments in securities of foreign issuers,
including obligations of foreign branches of U.S. and foreign banks and
obligations of U.S. branches of foreign banks, involve special risks.
These risks include future unfavorable political and economic
developments, possible withholding taxes, seizure of foreign deposits,
currency controls, interest limitations, or other governmental
restrictions that may affect the payment of principal or interest on
securities held by the Portfolio. In addition, there may be less
publicly available information about foreign issuers.

WHO ADMINISTERS THE FUNDS?

THE BOARD. The Board oversees the management of each fund and elects
its officers. The officers are responsible for each fund's day-to-day
operations.

The Board, with approval of all disinterested and interested Board
members, has adopted written procedures designed to deal with potential
conflicts of interest that may arise from each fund and Money Market
having substantially the same boards. These procedures call for an
annual review of each fund's relationship with the Portfolio. If a
conflict exists, the boards may take action, which may include the
establishment of a new board. The Board has determined that there are
no conflicts of interest at the present time. For more information,
please see "Summary of Procedures to Monitor Conflicts of Interest" and
"Officers and Trustees" in the SAI.

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND ADMINISTRATOR. Advisers manages the Portfolio's
assets and makes its investment decisions. Advisers also performs
similar services for other funds. It is wholly owned by Resources, a
publicly owned company engaged in the financial services industry
through its subsidiaries. Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr.
are the principal shareholders of Resources. Together, Advisers and its
affiliates manage over $236 billion in assets. Advisers is also the
administrator of each fund. Please see "Investment Management and Other
Services" and "Miscellaneous Information" in the SAI for information on
securities transactions and a summary of the funds' Code of Ethics.

MANAGEMENT FEES. You will bear a portion of the Portfolio's operating
expenses, including its management fees, to the extent that a fund, as
a shareholder of the Portfolio, bears these expenses. The portion of
the Portfolio's expenses borne by a fund depends on the fund's
proportionate share of the Portfolio's net assets.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, management and
administration fees paid to Advisers and total operating expenses, as a
percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:

MANAGEMENT ADMINISTRATION TOTAL OPERATING
FEES* FEES* EXPENSES*
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Money Fund................ 0.14% 0.02% 0.20%
U.S. Securities Fund...... 0.14% 0.00% 0.20%

*Management fees, before any advance waiver, totaled 0.15% for each
Portfolio. Administration fees, before any advance waiver, were .05%
for each fund. Total operating expenses were 0.24% for the Money Fund
and 0.26% for the U.S. Securities Fund.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS. Advisers tries to obtain the best execution on
all transactions. If Advisers believes more than one broker or dealer
can provide the best execution, it may consider research and related
services and the sale of fund shares, as well as shares of other funds
in the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds, when selecting a broker or
dealer. Please see "How Does Each Portfolio Buy Securities for Its
Portfolio?" in the SAI for more information.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE. Like other mutual funds, the funds could be adversely
affected if the computer systems used by Advisers and other service
providers do not properly process date-related information on or after
January 1, 2000 ("Year 2000 Issue"). The Year 2000 Issue, and in
particular foreign service providers' responsiveness to the issue,
could affect portfolio and operational areas including securities trade
processing, interest and dividend payments, securities pricing,
shareholder account services, reporting, custody functions, and others.
While there can be no assurance that the funds will not be adversely
affected, Advisers and its affiliated service providers are taking
steps that they believe are reasonably designed to address the Year
2000 Issue, including seeking reasonable assurances from the funds'
other major service providers.

THE RULE 12B-1 PLAN

Each fund has a distribution plan or "Rule 12b-1 Plan" under which it
may pay or reimburse Distributors or others for the expenses of
activities that are primarily intended to sell shares of the fund.
These expenses may include, among others, distribution or service fees
paid to Securities Dealers or others who have executed a servicing
agreement with the fund, Distributors or its affiliates; a prorated
portion of Distributors' overhead expenses; and the expenses of
printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, and
preparing and distributing sales literature and advertisements.

Payments by each fund under the plan may not exceed 0.15% per year of
the fund's average daily net assets. All distribution expenses over
this amount will be borne by those who have incurred them. During the
first year after certain purchases made without a sales charge,
Securities Dealers may not be eligible to receive the Rule 12b-1 fees
associated with the purchase. For more information, please see "The
Funds' Underwriter" in the SAI.

HOW TAXATION AFFECTS THE FUND AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS

TAXATION OF THE FUND. As a regulated investment company, a fund
generally pays no federal income tax on the income and gains that it
distributes to you.

DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions from a fund, whether you receive them in
cash or in additional shares, are generally subject to income tax. A
fund will send you a statement in January of each year that reflects
the amount of ordinary dividends you received from the fund in the
prior year. This statement will include distributions declared in
December and paid to you in January of the following year, but which
are taxable as if paid on December 31 of the prior year. The IRS
requires you to report these amounts on your income tax return for the
prior year.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO RETIREMENT PLANS. Distributions by a fund received by
your qualified retirement plan, such as a section 401(k) plan or IRA,
are generally tax-deferred; this means that you are not required to
report distributions by a fund on your income tax return when paid to
your plan, but, rather, when your plan makes payments to you. Special
rules apply to payouts from Roth and Education IRAs.

DIVIDENDS-RECEIVED DEDUCTION. It is anticipated that no portion of a
fund's distributions will qualify for the corporate dividends-received
deduction.

REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES. Because each fund expects to maintain a
$1.00 Net Asset Value per share, you should not have any gain or loss
on the redemption or exchange shares in a fund.

MUNICIPAL INVESTORS. A municipality that invests the proceeds of a
bond offering in a fund should be aware that some or all of the
earnings distributed by the fund may need to be paid to the U.S. as a
rebate of arbitrage profits. You may wish to contact your tax advisor
to determine the effect, if any, of payments by a fund with respect to
the arbitrage rebate requirements.

NON-U.S. INVESTORS. Ordinary dividends generally will be subject to
U.S. income tax withholding. Your home country may also tax ordinary
dividends. Shares in a fund held by the estate of a non-U.S. investor
may be subject to U.S. estate tax. You may wish to contact your tax
advisor to determine the U.S. and non-U.S. tax consequences of your
investment in a fund.

STATE TAXES. Ordinary dividends that you receive from a fund will
generally be subject to state and local income tax. It is anticipated
that no portion of a fund's distributions will qualify for the
exemption from state and local income tax as dividends paid from
interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S. Government. The
holding of a fund's shares may also be subject to state and local
intangibles taxes. You may wish to contact your tax advisor to
determine the state and local tax consequences of your investment in a
fund.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING. When you open an account, IRS regulations require
that you provide your taxpayer identification number ("TIN"), certify
that it is correct, and certify that you are not subject to backup
withholding under IRS rules. If you fail to provide a correct TIN or
the proper tax certifications, a fund is required to withhold 31% of
all taxable distributions (including ordinary dividends and capital
gain distributions), and redemption proceeds paid to you. A fund is
also required to begin backup withholding on your account if the IRS
instructs the fund to do so. A fund reserves the right not to open
your account, or, alternatively, to redeem your shares at the current
Net Asset Value, less any taxes withheld, if you fail to provide a
correct TIN, fail to provide the proper tax certifications, or the IRS
instructs the fund to begin backup withholding on your account.

THIS TAX DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. PROSPECTIVE
INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE FEDERAL,
STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN A FUND. A
MORE COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THESE RULES AND RELATED MATTERS IS
CONTAINED IN THE SECTION ENTITLED "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES" IN THE SAI. YOU MAY REQUEST A FREE FRANKLIN
TEMPLETON TAX INFORMATION HANDBOOK BY CONTACTING FUND INFORMATION.

HOW IS THE TRUST ORGANIZED?

Each fund is a no-load, diversified series of the Institutional
Fiduciary Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment
company, commonly called a mutual fund. It was organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on January 15, 1985, and is registered
with the SEC. Shares of each series of the Trust have equal and
exclusive rights to dividends and distributions declared by that series
and the net assets of the series in the event of liquidation or
dissolution. Shares of each fund are considered Class I shares for
redemption, exchange and other purposes. Additional series may be
offered in the future.

The Trust has noncumulative voting rights. This gives holders of more
than 50% of the shares voting the ability to elect all of the members
of the Board. If this happens, holders of the remaining shares voting
will not be able to elect anyone to the Board.

The Trust does not intend to hold annual shareholder meetings. The
Trust or a series of the Trust may hold special meetings, however, for
matters requiring shareholder approval. A meeting may also be called by
the Board in its discretion or by shareholders holding at least 10% of
the outstanding shares. In certain circumstances, we are required to
help you communicate with other shareholders about the removal of a
Board member.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

HOW DO I BUY SHARES?

OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT

Through Your Dealer Call your investment representative
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Many of the funds' investments, through the Portfolio, must be paid for
in federal funds, which are monies held by the funds' custodian bank on
deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and elsewhere. A
fund generally cannot invest money received from you until it is
converted into and is available to the fund in federal funds.
Therefore, your purchase order may not be considered in proper form
until the money received from you is available in federal funds, which
may take up to two days. If the fund is able to make investments
immediately (within one business day), it may accept your order with
payment in other than federal funds.

When you buy shares, if you submit a check or a draft that is returned
unpaid to the fund we may impose a $10 charge against your account for
each returned item.

The investment authority of certain institutional investors may be
restricted by law. If you are such an investor, you should consult your
legal advisor to determine whether and to what extent shares of the
funds are legal investments for you. If you are a municipal investor
considering investing proceeds of bond offerings, you should consult
with expert counsel to determine the effect, if any, of payments by the
funds on arbitrage rebate calculations.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BUYING SHARES BY WIRE

If a fund receives your order in proper form before 3:00 p.m. Pacific
time, we will credit the purchase to your account that day. Orders
received after 3:00 p.m. will be credited the following business day.

Wire trades placed by the above deadlines will receive same day credit
so long as funds are received as described above. Prior business day
notification of a trade may be required. Requests to begin a wire order
after the cut off time for each fund will not be in proper form for
that day's purchase and will receive credit on the next business day.

PAYMENTS TO SECURITIES DEALERS

If you buy shares through a Securities Dealer, Distributors may make a
payment to the Securities Dealer out of its own resources. Please
contact Institutional Services for more information.

MAY I EXCHANGE SHARES FOR SHARES OF ANOTHER FUND?

We offer a wide variety of funds. The shares of most of these funds are
offered to the public with a sales charge. If you would like, you can
move your investment from your fund account to an existing or new
account in another Franklin Templeton Fund (an "exchange"). Because it
is technically a sale and a purchase of shares, an exchange is a
taxable transaction.

Before making an exchange, please read the prospectus of the fund you
are interested in. This will help you learn about the fund, its
investment goal and policies, and its rules and requirements for
exchanges. For example, some Franklin Templeton Funds do not accept
exchanges and others may have different investment minimums.

THROUGH YOUR DEALER Call your investment representative
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Please refer to "Transaction Procedures and Special Requirements" for
other important information on how to exchange shares.

WILL SALES CHARGES APPLY TO MY EXCHANGE?

You will generally pay the applicable front-end sales charge of the
fund you are exchanging into, unless you acquired your fund shares
under the exchange privilege. These charges may not apply if you
qualify to buy shares without a sales charge. For example, certain
institutional investors such as government entities, certain employee
benefit plans, trust companies, and bank trust departments, may buy
Class I shares of other Franklin Templeton Funds without a sales charge.

HOW WE PROCESS YOUR EXCHANGE

FROM THE FUND INTO ANY OTHER SERIES OF THE TRUST. The exchange will be
processed the day your request is received, prior to 11:15 a.m. Pacific
time for the Money Fund and 1:30 p.m. Pacific time for the U.S.
Securities Fund, with payment for the purchased shares processed on the
following business day when the funds are made available from the fund.

FROM THE FUND INTO CLASS I SHARES OF OTHER FRANKLIN TEMPLETON FUNDS.
The exchange will be effected at the respective Net Asset Value or
offering price of the funds involved next computed on the day on which
the request is received in proper form prior to the above deadlines.
Requests received after the deadlines will be effective at the next
day's price.

FROM ANOTHER FUND IN THE FRANKLIN TEMPLETON FUNDS INTO THE FUND. The
transaction will be processed as a liquidation from the other fund on
the day the exchange is received in proper form prior to the time of
valuation for that fund (as noted in that fund's prospectus) and shares
of the fund will be bought on the following business day when the money
for purchase is available.

RETIREMENT PLANS

Retirement plan participants may exchange shares in accordance with the
options available under, and the requirements of, their plan and plan
administrator. Retirement plan administrators may charge a fee in
connection with exchanges.

EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS

Please be aware that the following restrictions apply to exchanges:

o You must meet the applicable minimum investment amount of the fund
you are exchanging into, or exchange 100% of your fund shares.

o You may only exchange shares within the same class, except as noted
below.

o The accounts must be identically registered.

o The fund you are exchanging into must be eligible for sale in your
state.

o We may modify or discontinue our exchange policy if we give you 60
days' written notice.

o Your exchange may be restricted or refused if you have: (i)
requested an exchange out of the fund within two weeks of an earlier
exchange request, (ii) exchanged shares out of the fund more than
twice in a calendar quarter, or (iii) exchanged shares equal to at
least $5 million, or more than 1% of the fund's net assets. Shares
under common ownership or control are combined for these limits. If
you have exchanged shares as described in this paragraph, you will
be considered a Market Timer. Each exchange by a Market Timer, if
accepted, will be charged $5.00. Some of our funds do not allow
investments by Market Timers.

Because excessive trading can hurt fund performance, operations and
shareholders, we may refuse any exchange purchase if (i) we believe the
fund would be harmed or unable to invest effectively, or (ii) the fund
receives or anticipates simultaneous orders that may significantly
affect the fund.

LIMITED EXCHANGES BETWEEN DIFFERENT CLASSES OF SHARES

Certain funds in the Franklin Templeton Funds offer classes of shares
not offered by the fund, such as "Advisor Class" or "Class Z" shares.
Because the funds do not currently offer an Advisor Class, you may
exchange Advisor Class shares of any Franklin Templeton Fund for shares
of the funds at Net Asset Value. If you do so and you later decide you
would like to exchange into a fund that offers an Advisor Class, you
may exchange your fund shares for Advisor Class shares of that fund.
Certain shareholders of Class Z shares of Franklin Mutual Series Fund
Inc. may also exchange their Class Z shares for shares of the funds at
Net Asset Value.

HOW DO I SELL SHARES?

You may sell (redeem) your shares at any time.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
METHOD STEPS TO FOLLOW
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
BY MAIL 1. Send us signed written instructions

2. Provide a signature guarantee if required

3. Corporate, partnership and trust accounts
may need to send additional documents.
Accounts under court jurisdiction may
have other requirements.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
BY PHONE 1. Call Institutional Services at
See "Holiday 1-800/321-8563
Schedule" under
"Transactions 2. For requests over $50,000, you must
Procedures and complete an Institutional Telephone
Special Requirements" Privileges Agreement. Call Institutional
Services to receive a copy.

o Telephone requests will be accepted unless:

The address on your account was changed by
phone within the last 15 days.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
THROUGH YOUR DEALER Call your investment representative
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

We will send your redemption check within seven days after we receive
your request in proper form. We are not able to receive or pay out cash
in the form of currency. If you sell your shares by phone, the check
may only be made payable to all registered owners on the account and
sent to the address of record. If requested, redemption proceeds may
also be wired directly to a commercial bank previously designated by
you on an application, or in a signature guaranteed letter of
instruction.

A payment may be transmitted by wire the same business day if the phone
request is received before 11:15 a.m. Pacific time for the Money Fund
and 1:30 p.m. Pacific time for the U.S. Securities Fund. For later
requests, payments will be transmitted by wire on the following
business day. If you anticipate requesting a same day wire redemption
over $5 million, please notify the fund about this on the prior
business day. In order to maximize efficient fund management, please
request your same day wire redemption (regardless of size) as early in
the day as possible. Prior business day notification of the trade may
be required.

Telephone redemption orders may not be used to direct payments to
another party or non-designated account. Written instructions will be
required.

The wiring of redemption proceeds is a special service that we make
available whenever possible. By offering this service to you, the fund
is not bound to meet any redemption request in less than the seven day
period prescribed by law. Neither the fund nor its agents shall be
liable to you or any other person if, for any reason, a redemption
request by wire is not processed as described in this section.

If you sell shares you recently purchased with a check or draft, we may
delay sending you the proceeds until your check or draft has cleared,
which may take seven business days or more. A certified or cashier's
check may clear in less time.

Under unusual circumstances, we may suspend redemptions or postpone
payment for more than seven days as permitted by federal securities law.

Please refer to "Transaction Procedures and Special Requirements" for
other important information on how to sell shares.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE

Most Franklin Templeton Funds impose a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
on certain investments if you sell all or a part of the investment
within the Contingency Period. While the funds generally do not impose
a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, they will do so if you sell shares
that were exchanged into a fund from another Franklin Templeton Fund
and those shares would have been assessed a Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge in the other fund. The charge is 1% of the value of the shares
sold or the Net Asset Value at the time of purchase, whichever is less.
The time the shares are held in a fund does not count towards the
completion of any Contingency Period.

We will first redeem any shares in your account that are not subject to
the charge. If there are not enough of these to meet your request, we
will redeem shares subject to the charge in the order they were
purchased.

Unless otherwise specified, when you request to sell a stated dollar
amount, we will redeem additional shares to cover any Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge. For requests to sell a stated number of shares,
we will deduct the amount of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, if
any, from the sale proceeds.

WHAT DISTRIBUTIONS MIGHT I RECEIVE FROM THE FUNDS?

Each fund declares dividends each day that its Net Asset Value is
calculated and pays them to shareholders of record as of the close of
business that day. The daily allocation of net investment income begins
on the day we receive your money or settlement of a wire order trade
and continues to accrue through the day we receive your request to sell
your shares or the settlement of a wire order trade.

Dividend payments may vary from day to day and may be omitted on some
days, depending on changes in a fund's net investment income. THE FUNDS
DO NOT PAY "INTEREST" OR GUARANTEE ANY AMOUNT OF DIVIDENDS OR RETURN ON
AN INVESTMENT IN THEIR SHARES.

DIVIDEND OPTIONS

Dividends will automatically be reinvested monthly in the form of
additional shares of the fund at the Net Asset Value per share at the
close of business on or about the last business day of the month. You
may, however, choose to receive dividends in cash. To do so, please
notify the fund or Institutional Services. Certain restrictions may
apply to retirement plans.

Since the net income of each fund is declared as a dividend each time
the net income is determined, the Net Asset Value per share of the fund
is expected to remain at $1 per share immediately after each such
determination and dividend declaration. Any increase in the value of
your investment in the fund, representing the reinvestment of dividend
income, is reflected by an increase in the number of shares in your
account.

TRANSACTION PROCEDURES AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

SHARE PRICE

You buy and sell shares at Net Asset Value. We will use the Net Asset
Value next calculated after we receive your transaction request in
proper form. If you buy or sell shares through your Securities Dealer,
however, we will use the Net Asset Value next calculated after your
Securities Dealer receives your request, which is promptly transmitted
to the fund.

HOW AND WHEN SHARES ARE PRICED

The funds are open for business each day that both the NYSE and the San
Francisco Fed are open. We determine the Net Asset Value per share at
12:30 p.m. Pacific time for the Money Fund and 3.00 p.m. Pacific time
for the U.S. Securities Fund. To calculate Net Asset Value per share,
each fund's assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted,
and the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of shares
outstanding. Each fund's assets are valued as described under "How Are
Fund Shares Valued?" in the SAI.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

In order to receive same day credit for transactions, you need to
transmit your request to buy, sell or exchange shares before 11:15 a.m.
Pacific time for the Money Fund and before 1:30 p.m. Pacific time for
the U.S. Securities Fund, except on holidays or the day before or after
a holiday.

The funds are informed that the NYSE and/or the San Francisco Fed
observe the following holidays: New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. Day , Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed),
Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day (observed), Veterans' Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Although the funds expect the same
holiday schedule to be observed in the future, the San Francisco Fed or
the NYSE may modify its holiday schedule at any time. On any day before
or after a NYSE or San Francisco Fed holiday, or on any day when the
Public Securities Association recommends an early closing, the funds
reserve the right to set an earlier time for notice and receipt of wire
order purchase and redemption orders submitted for same day credit or
redemption. Please place your trades as early in the day as possible on
a day before or after a holiday. To the extent a fund's portfolio
securities are traded in other markets on days the San Francisco Fed or
the NYSE is closed, the fund's Net Asset Value may be affected when
investors do not have access to the fund to buy or sell shares. Other
Franklin Templeton Funds may follow different holiday closing schedules.

WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS

Written instructions must be signed by all registered owners. To avoid
any delay in processing your transaction, they should include:

o Your name,

o The fund's name,

o A description of the request,

o For exchanges, the name of the fund you are exchanging into,

o Your account number,

o The dollar amount or number of shares, and

o A telephone number where we may reach you during the day, or in the
evening if preferred.

JOINT ACCOUNTS. For accounts with more than one registered owner, we
accept written instructions signed by only one owner for certain types
of transactions or account changes. These include transactions or
account changes that you could also make by phone, such as certain
redemptions of $50,000 or less, exchanges between identically
registered accounts, and changes to the address of record. For most
other types of transactions or changes, written instructions must be
signed by all registered owners.

Please keep in mind that if you have previously told us that you do not
want telephone exchange or redemption privileges on your account, then
we can only accept written instructions to exchange or redeem shares if
they are signed by all registered owners on the account.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

For our mutual protection, we require a signature guarantee in the
following situations:

1) You wish to sell over $50,000 worth of shares,

2) You want the proceeds to be paid to someone other than the
registered owners,

3) The proceeds are not being sent to the address of record,
preauthorized bank account, or preauthorized brokerage firm account,

4) We receive instructions from an agent, not the registered owners,

5) We believe a signature guarantee would protect us against potential
claims based on the instructions received.

A signature guarantee verifies the authenticity of your signature. You
should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker,
credit union, savings association, clearing agency, or securities
exchange or association. A NOTARIZED SIGNATURE IS NOT SUFFICIENT.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

We will credit your shares to your fund account. We do not issue share
certificates. This eliminates the costly problem of replacing lost,
stolen or destroyed certificates.

TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS

You may initiate many transactions by phone, including by facsimile or
computer. Please refer to the sections of this prospectus that discuss
the transaction you would like to make or call Institutional Services
at 1-800/321-8563.

When you call, we will request personal or other identifying
information to confirm that instructions are genuine. We may also
record calls. If our lines are busy or you are otherwise unable to
reach us by phone, you may wish to ask your investment representative
for assistance or send us written instructions, as described elsewhere
in this prospectus.

For your protection, we may delay a transaction or not implement one if
we are not reasonably satisfied that the instructions are genuine. If
this occurs, we will not be liable for any loss. We also will not be
liable for any loss if we follow instructions by phone that we
reasonably believe are genuine or if you are unable to execute a
transaction by phone.

RETIREMENT PLANS. The telephone transaction options available to
retirement plans are limited to those that are provided under the plan.

ACCOUNT REGISTRATIONS AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

When you open an account, we need you to tell us how you want your
shares registered. How you register your account will affect your
ownership rights and ability to make certain transactions. If you have
questions about how to register your account, you should consult your
investment representative or legal advisor. Please keep the following
information in mind when registering your account.

JOINT OWNERSHIP. If you open an account with two or more owners, we
register the account as "joint tenants with rights of survivorship"
unless you tell us otherwise. An account registered as "joint tenants
with rights of survivorship" is shown as "Jt Ten" on your account
statement. For any account with two or more owners, we cannot accept
instructions to change owners on the account unless ALL owners agree in
writing, even if the law in your state says otherwise. If you would
like another person or owner to sign for you, please send us a current
power of attorney.

GIFTS AND TRANSFERS TO MINORS. You may set up a custodial account for a
minor under your state's Uniform Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act. Other
than this form of registration, a minor may not be named as an account
owner.

TRUSTS. You should register your account as a trust only if you have a
valid written trust document. This avoids future disputes or possible
court action over who owns the account.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS. For corporate, partnership and trust accounts,
please send us the following documents when you open your account. This
will help avoid delays in processing your transactions while we verify
who may sign on the account.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE OF ACCOUNT DOCUMENTS REQUIRED
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
CORPORATION Corporate Resolution
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTNERSHIP 1. The pages from the partnership agreement that
identify the general partners, or

2. A certification for a partnership agreement
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUST 1. The pages from the trust document that
identify the trustees, or

2. A certification for trust
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

STREET OR NOMINEE ACCOUNTS. If you have fund shares held in a "street"
or "nominee" name account with your Securities Dealer, you may transfer
the shares to the street or nominee name account of another Securities
Dealer. Both dealers must have an agreement with Distributors or we
cannot process the transfer. Contact your Securities Dealer to initiate
the transfer. We will process the transfer after we receive
authorization in proper form from your delivering Securities Dealer.
Accounts may be transferred electronically through the NSCC. For
accounts registered in street or nominee name, we may take instructions
directly from the Securities Dealer or your nominee.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE AN INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIVE

If there is a Securities Dealer or other representative of record on
your account, we are authorized: (1) to provide confirmations, account
statements and other information about your account directly to your
dealer and/or representative; and (2) to accept telephone and
electronic instructions directly from your dealer or representative,
including instructions to exchange or redeem your shares. Electronic
instructions may be processed through established electronic trading
systems and programs used by the fund. Telephone instructions directly
from your representative will be accepted unless you have told us that
you do not want telephone privileges to apply to your account.

KEEPING YOUR ACCOUNT OPEN

Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining a small account, we may
close your account if the value of your shares is less than $20,000
($500 for states, counties, cities and their instrumentalities,
departments, agencies and authorities). We will only do this if the
value of your account fell below this amount because you voluntarily
sold your shares and your account has been inactive (except for the
reinvestment of distributions) for at least six months. Before we close
your account, we will notify you and give you 30 days to increase the
value of your account to the above minimums.

SERVICES TO HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN

Our automatic investment plan offers a convenient way to invest in a
fund. Under the plan, you can have money transferred automatically from
your checking account to a fund each month to buy additional shares. If
you are interested in this program, please contact our Institutional
Services Department. You may discontinue the program at any time by
notifying us by mail or phone.

AUTOMATIC PAYROLL DEDUCTION

You may have money transferred from your paycheck to a fund to buy
additional shares. Your investments will continue automatically until
you instruct the fund and your employer to discontinue the plan. To
process your investment, we must receive both the check and payroll
deduction information in required form. Due to different procedures
used by employers to handle payroll deductions, there may be a delay
between the time of the payroll deduction and the time we receive the
money.

CUMULATIVE QUANTITY DISCOUNTS

You may include the cost or current value (whichever is higher) of your
fund shares when determining if you may buy shares of another Franklin
Templeton Fund at a discount. You may also include your fund shares
towards the completion of a Letter of Intent established in connection
with the purchase of shares of another Franklin Templeton Fund.

ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS

You may choose to have distributions from a fund sent directly to a
checking account. If the checking account is with a bank that is a
member of the Automated Clearing House, the payments may be made
automatically by electronic funds transfer. If you choose this option,
please allow at least fifteen days for initial processing. We will send
any payments made during that time to the address of record on your
account.

For additional information regarding these programs, please call
Institutional Services at 1-800/321-8563.

TELEFACTS(R)

From a touch-tone phone, you may call our TeleFACTS(R) system (day or
night) at 1-800/247-1753 to:

o obtain information about your account;

o obtain price and performance information about any Franklin
Templeton Fund; and

o request duplicate statements and deposits slips for Franklin
Templeton accounts.

You will need each fund's code number to use TeleFACTS(R). The Money
Fund's code is 140 and the U.S. Securities Fund's code is 142.

STATEMENTS AND REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

We will send you the following statements and reports on a regular
basis:

o Confirmation and account statements reflecting transactions in your
account, including additional purchases and dividend reinvestments.
Please verify the accuracy of your statements when you receive them.

o Financial reports of the funds will be sent every six months. To
reduce fund expenses, we attempt to identify related shareholders
within a household and send only one copy of a report. Call
Institutional Services if you would like an additional free copy of
the funds' financial reports.

SPECIAL SERVICES

Investor Services may charge separate fees to shareholders, to be
negotiated directly with such shareholders, for providing special
services in connection with their accounts, such as subaccounting,
processing a large number of wires, or other special handling which a
shareholder may request. Such special services to certain shareholders
will not increase the expenses borne by the funds.

AVAILABILITY OF THESE SERVICES

The services above are available to most shareholders. If, however,
your shares are held by a financial institution, in a street name
account, or networked through the NSCC, the funds may not be able to
offer these services directly to you. Please contact your investment
representative.

GENERAL

Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 3 pertaining
to Deposits with Financial Institutions provides, in paragraph 69, that
investments in mutual funds should be disclosed, but not categorized.

The fund is a no-load, diversified series of Institutional Fiduciary Trust (the
"Trust"), an open-end management investment company. The Prospectus, dated
November 1, 1998, which we may amend from time to time, contains the basic
information you should know before investing in the fund. For a free copy, call
1-800/321-8563.

THIS SAI IS NOT A PROSPECTUS. IT CONTAINS INFORMATION IN ADDITION TO AND IN MORE
DETAIL THAN SET FORTH IN THE PROSPECTUS. THIS SAI IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE YOU
WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS OF THE FUND,
AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROSPECTUS.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MUTUAL FUNDS, ANNUITIES, AND OTHER INVESTMENT PRODUCTS:

o ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION,
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, OR ANY OTHER AGENCY OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT;

o ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY
BANK;

o ARE SUBJECT TO INVESTMENT RISKS, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW DOES THE FUND INVEST ITS ASSETS?

WHAT IS THE FUND'S GOAL?

The investment goal of the fund is to provide investors with as high a level of
current income as is consistent with preservation of shareholders' capital and
liquidity. This goal is fundamental, which means that it may not be changed
without shareholder approval. The fund also tries to maintain a stable Net Asset
Value of $1 per share. The fund seeks to achieve its investment goal by
investing all of its assets in shares of The Money Market Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"). The Portfolio is a series of The Money Market Portfolios ("Money
Market"). Its investment goal is the same as the fund.

The following gives more detailed information about the Portfolio's investment
policies and the types of securities that it may buy. Please read this
information together with the section "How Does the Fund Invest Its Assets?" in
the Prospectus.

The fund's investment policies are substantially similar to those described
below for the Portfolio except, in all cases, the fund may pursue its policies
by investing in an open-end management investment company with the same
investment goal and substantially similar policies and restrictions as the fund.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE KINDS OF SECURITIES THE PORTFOLIO BUYS

BANK OBLIGATIONS. As discussed in the Prospectus, the Portfolio may invest in
certain bank obligations or instruments secured by bank obligations. These
obligations may include deposits that are fully insured by the U.S. government,
its agencies or instrumentalities, such as deposits in banking and savings
institutions up to the current limit of the insurance on principal provided by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Deposits are frequently combined in
larger units by an intermediate bank or other institution.

VARIABLE MASTER DEMAND NOTES. Variable master demand notes are a type of
commercial paper. They are direct arrangements between a lender and a borrower
that allow daily changes to the amount borrowed and to the interest rate. The
Portfolio, as lender, may increase or decrease the amount provided by the note
agreement, and the borrower may repay up to the full amount of the note without
penalty. Typically, the borrower may also set the interest rate daily, usually
at a rate that is the same or similar to the interest rate on other commercial
paper issued by the borrower. The Portfolio does not have any limit on the
amount of its assets that may be invested in master demand notes and may invest
only in master demand notes of U.S. issuers.

Because variable master demand notes are direct lending arrangements between the
lender and the borrower, they generally are not traded and do not have a
secondary market. They are, however, redeemable at face value plus accrued
interest at any time, although the Portfolio's ability to redeem a note is
dependent on the ability of the borrower to pay the principal and interest on
demand. When determining whether to invest in a master demand note, Advisers
considers, among other things, the earning power, cash flow and other liquidity
ratios of the issuer.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its assets in
taxable municipal securities. Municipal securities are issued by or on behalf of
states, territories or possessions of the U.S., the District of Columbia, or
their political subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities. They are generally
issued to raise money for various public purposes, such as constructing public
facilities and making loans to public institutions. Certain types of municipal
securities are issued to provide funding for privately operated facilities and
are generally taxable.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SOME OF THE PORTFOLIO'S OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
AND PRACTICES

DIVERSIFICATION. The Portfolio is a diversified fund. As fundamental policies,
the Portfolio may not buy a security if, with respect to 75% of its total
assets, more than 5% would be invested in the securities of any one issuer. The
Portfolio also may not invest in a security if the Portfolio would own more than
10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. These limitations do
not apply to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its
instrumentalities.

As a money market fund, however, the Portfolio must follow certain procedures
required by federal securities laws that may be more restrictive than some of
the Portfolio's other policies or investment restrictions. With respect to
diversification, these procedures require that the Portfolio not invest more
than 5% of its total assets in securities of a single issuer, other than U.S.
government securities, although it may invest up to 25% of its total assets in
securities of a single issuer that are rated in the highest rating category for
a period of up to three business days after purchase. The Portfolio also must
not invest more than (a) the greater of 1% of its total assets or $1 million in
securities issued by a single issuer that are rated in the second highest rating
category; and (b) 5% of its total assets in securities rated in the second
highest rating category. These procedures are fundamental policies of the
Portfolio and the fund, except to the extent that the fund invests all of its
assets in another registered investment company with the same investment
objective and substantially similar policies as the fund.

When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Transactions. When the Portfolio is the buyer in
the transaction, it will maintain cash or liquid securities, with an aggregate
value equal to the amount of its purchase commitments, in a segregated account
with its custodian bank until payment is made. The Portfolio will not engage in
when-issued and delayed-delivery transactions for investment leverage purposes.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are contracts under which the buyer
of a security simultaneously commits to resell the security to the seller at an
agreed upon price and date. Under a repurchase agreement, the seller is required
to maintain the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement at
not less than the repurchase price. Advisers will monitor the value of such
securities daily to determine that the value equals or exceed the repurchase
price. Repurchase agreements may involve risks in the event of default or
insolvency of the seller, including possible delays or restrictions upon the
Portfolio's ability to dispose of the underlying securities. The Portfolio will
enter into repurchase agreements only with parties who meet creditworthiness
standards approved by Money Market's Board, I.E., banks or broker-dealers that
have been determined by Advisers to present no serious risk of becoming involved
in bankruptcy proceedings within the time frame contemplated by the repurchase
transaction.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Consistent with procedures approved by the Board
of Trustees of Money Market and subject to the following conditions, the
Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to qualified securities dealers or
other institutional investors, if such loans do not exceed 25% of the value of
the Portfolio's total assets at the time of the most recent loan. The Portfolio,
however, currently intends to limit its lending of securities to no more than 5%
of it total assets. The borrower must deposit with the Portfolio's custodian
bank collateral with an initial market value of at least 102% of the market
value of the securities loaned, including any accrued interest, with the value
of the collateral and loaned securities marked-to-market daily to maintain
collateral coverage of at least 100%. This collateral shall consist of cash. The
lending of securities is a common practice in the securities industry. The
Portfolio may engage in security loan arrangements with the primary objective of
increasing the Portfolio's income either through investing cash collateral in
short-term interest-bearing obligations or by receiving a loan premium from the
borrower. Under the securities loan agreement, the Portfolio continues to be
entitled to all dividends or interest on any loaned securities. As with any
extension of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and loss of rights in
the collateral should the borrower of the security fail financially.

BORROWING. The Portfolio may borrow up to 5% of its total assets from banks for
temporary or emergency purposes. The Portfolio will not make any new investments
while any outstanding loans exceed 5% of its total assets.

OTHER LIMITATIONS. The Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its total assets
in securities of companies, including predecessors, that have been in continuous
operation for less than three years. The Portfolio also may not invest more than
25% of its total assets in any particular industry, although it may invest more
than 25% of its assets in certain domestic bank obligations. These limitations
do not apply to U.S. government securities, federal agency obligations, or
repurchase agreements fully collateralized by government securities. There are,
however, certain tax diversification requirements that may apply to investments
in repurchase agreements and other securities that are not treated as U.S.
government securities under the Code.

THE FUND'S MASTER/FEEDER STRUCTURE

The fund's structure, where it invests all of its assets in the Portfolio, is
sometimes known as a "Master/Feeder" structure. By investing all of its assets
in shares of the Portfolio, the fund, other mutual funds and institutional
investors can pool their assets. This may result in asset growth and lower
expenses, although there is no guarantee that this will happen.

If the fund, as a shareholder of the Portfolio, has to vote on a matter relating
to the Portfolio, it will hold a meeting of fund shareholders and will cast its
votes in the same proportion as the fund's shareholders voted.

There are some risks associated with the fund's Master/Feeder structure. If
other shareholders in the Portfolio sell their shares, the fund's expenses may
increase. Additionally, any economies of scale the fund has achieved as a result
of the structure may be diminished. Institutional investors in the Portfolio
that have a greater pro rata ownership interest in the Portfolio than the fund
could also have effective voting control.

If the Portfolio changes its investment goal or any of its fundamental policies
and fund shareholders do not approve the same change for the fund, the fund may
need to withdraw its investment from the Portfolio. Likewise, if the Board
considers it to be in the fund's best interest, it may withdraw the fund's
investment from the Portfolio at any time. If either situation occurs, the Board
will decide what action to take. Possible solutions might include investing of
all of the fund's assets in another pooled investment entity with the same
investment goal and policies as the fund, or hiring an investment advisor to
manage the fund's investments. Either circumstance could increase the fund's
expenses.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The fund has adopted the following restrictions as fundamental policies. These
restrictions may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the fund. Under the 1940 Act, this means the
approval of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the fund or (ii) 67%
or more of the shares of the fund present at a shareholder meeting if more than
50% of the outstanding shares of the fund are represented at the meeting in
person or by proxy, whichever is less. The fund MAY NOT:

(1) Borrow money or mortgage or pledge any of its assets, except that
borrowings (and a pledge of assets therefor) for temporary or emergency purposes
may be made from banks in any amount up to 5% of the fund's total asset value.

(2) Make loans, except (a) through the purchase of debt securities in
accordance with the investment objectives and policies of the fund, (b) to the
extent the entry into a repurchase agreement is deemed to be a loan, or (c) by
the loan of its portfolio securities in accordance with the policies described
above.

(3) Invest in any issuer for purposes of exercising control or management,
except that, to the extent this restriction is applicable, all or substantially
all of the assets of the fund may be invested in another registered investment
company having the same investment objectives and policies as the fund.

(4) Buy any securities "on margin" or sell any securities "short," except that
it may use such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
transactions.

(5) Purchase securities, in private placements or in other transactions, for
which there are legal or contractual restrictions on resale and that are not
readily marketable, or enter into a repurchase agreement with more than seven
days to maturity if, as a result, more than 10% of the total assets of the fund
would be invested in such securities or repurchase agreements, except that, to
the extent this restriction is applicable, the fund may purchase, in private
placements, shares of another registered investment company having the same
investment objectives and policies as the fund.

(6) Purchase securities of other investment companies, except in connection
with a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or reorganization; provided that all
or substantially all of the assets of the fund may be invested in another
registered investment company having the same investment objectives and policies
as the fund.

(7) Invest more than 25% of its assets in securities of any industry, except
that this policy is inapplicable where the fund's policies, as described in its
current Prospectus, state otherwise, and further to the extent all or
substantially all of the assets of the fund may be invested in another
registered investment company having the same investment objectives and policies
as the fund. For purposes of this limitation, U.S. government obligations are
not considered to be part of any industry.

(8) Act as underwriter of securities issued by other persons, except insofar as
the Trust may technically be deemed an underwriter under the federal securities
laws in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities; except that all
or substantially all of the assets of the fund may be invested in another
registered investment company having the same investment objectives and policies
as the fund.

(9) Purchase securities from or sell to the Trust's officers and trustees, or
any firm of which any officer or trustee is a member, as principal, or retain
securities of any issuer if, to the knowledge of the Trust, one or more of the
Trust's officers, trustees, or Advisers own beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of
the securities of such issuer and all such officers and trustees together own
beneficially more than 5% of such securities.

(10) Acquire, lease or hold real estate, provided that this limitation shall not
prohibit the purchase of municipal and other debt securities secured by real
estate or interests therein.

(11) Invest in commodities and commodity contracts, puts, calls, straddles,
spreads, or any combination thereof, or interests in oil, gas, or other mineral
exploration or development programs, except that it may purchase, hold, and
dispose of "obligations with puts attached" in accordance with its stated
investment policies.

The investment restrictions of the Portfolio are substantially similar to the
investment restrictions of the fund, except as necessary to reflect the policy
of the fund to invest all of its assets in shares of the Portfolio.

If a percentage restriction is met at the time of investment, a later increase
or decrease in the percentage due to a change in the value or liquidity of
portfolio securities or the amount of assets will not be considered a violation
of any of the foregoing restrictions.

Templeton Group of Funds currently includes 54 registered investment companies,
with approximately 170 U.S. based funds or series.

Nonaffiliated members of the Board and trustees of Money Market are reimbursed
for expenses incurred in connection with attending board meetings, paid pro rata
by each fund in the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds for which they serve as
director or trustee. No officer or Board member or trustee of Money Market
received any other compensation, including pension or retirement benefits,
directly or indirectly from the fund, Money Market or other funds in the

trustees of Money Market who are shareholders of Resources may be deemed to
receive indirect remuneration by virtue of their participation, if any, in the
fees paid to its subsidiaries.

As of August 4, 1998, the officers and Board members did not own of record or
beneficially any shares of the fund. Many of the Board members own shares in
other funds in the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds. Charles B. Johnson and

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND ADMINISTRATOR AND SERVICES PROVIDED. Advisers is the
investment manager of the Portfolio and is also the administrator of the fund.
Advisers provides investment research and portfolio management services,
including the selection of securities for the Portfolio to buy, hold or sell and
the selection of brokers through whom the Portfolio's portfolio transactions are
executed. Advisers' activities are subject to the review and supervision of the
Board of Trustees of Money Market to whom Advisers renders periodic reports of
the Portfolio's investment activities. Advisers and its officers, directors and
employees are covered by fidelity insurance for the protection of the fund and
the Portfolio.

Advisers and its affiliates act as investment manager to numerous other
investment companies and accounts. Advisers may give advice and take action with
respect to any of the other funds it manages, or for its own account, that may
differ from action taken by Advisers on behalf of the Portfolio. Similarly, with
respect to the Portfolio, Advisers is not obligated to recommend, buy or sell,
or to refrain from recommending, buying or selling any security that Advisers
and access persons, as defined by the 1940 Act, may buy or sell for its or their
own account or for the accounts of any other fund. Advisers is not obligated to
refrain from investing in securities held by the Portfolio or other funds that
it manages. Of course, any transactions for the accounts of Advisers and other
access persons will be made in compliance with the Portfolio's Code of Ethics.
Please see "Miscellaneous Information - Summary of Code of Ethics."

MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION FEES. Under its management agreement, the
Portfolio pays Advisers a management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of the
fund's average daily net assets.

Advisers provides various administrative, statistical, and other services to the
fund. Under its administration agreement, the fund pays Advisers an
administration fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the value of the fund's
average daily net assets. The fee is computed at the close of business [on the
last business day of each month.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, management fees of the
Portfolio, before any advance waiver, totaled, $2,963,304, $2,547,891 and
$2,162,519, respectively. Administration fees of the fund, before any advance
waiver, totaled $292,245, $148,055 and $61,531. Under an agreement by Advisers
to limit its fees, the Portfolio paid management fees totaling $2,830,858,
$2,429,509 and $2,034,014, and the fund paid administration fees totaling $0,
$43,899 and $5,315, for the same periods.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. The management agreement for the Portfolio is in effect
until February 28, 1999. It may continue in effect for successive annual periods
if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of the
Board of Trustees of Money Market or by a vote of the holders of a majority of
the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities, and in either event by a majority
vote of the trustees of Money Market who are not parties to the management
agreement or interested persons of any such party (other than as members of the
Board of Trustees of Money Market), cast in person at a meeting called for that
purpose. The management agreement may be terminated without penalty at any time
by the Board of Trustees of Money Market or by a vote of the holders of a
majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities on 30 days' written
notice to Advisers, or by Advisers on 60 days' written notice to the Portfolio,
and will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in
the 1940 Act.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT. Investor Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Resources, is the fund's shareholder servicing agent and acts as the fund's
transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. Investor Services is compensated on
the basis of a fixed fee per account. The fund may also reimburse Investor
Services for certain out-of-pocket expenses, which may include payments by
Investor Services to entities, including affiliated entities, that provide
sub-shareholder services, recordkeeping and/or transfer agency services to
beneficial owners of the fund. The amount of reimbursements for these services
per benefit plan participant fund account per year may not exceed the per
account fee payable by the fund to Investor Services in connection with
maintaining shareholder accounts.

CUSTODIAN. Investor Services, in its capacity as the transfer agent for the
Portfolio, effectively acts as the fund's custodian and holds the fund's shares
of the Portfolio on its books. Bank of New York, Mutual Funds Division, 90
Washington Street, New York, New York 10286, acts as custodian of the fund's
cash, pending investment in shares of the Portfolio. Bank of New York also acts
as custodian of the securities and other assets of the Portfolio. The custodian
does not participate in decisions relating to the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities.

AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 333 Market Street, San Francisco,
California 94105, is the fund's independent auditor. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, the auditor's services consisted of rendering an opinion on
the financial statements of the fund included in the fund's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.

HOW DOES THE PORTFOLIO BUY SECURITIES FOR ITS PORTFOLIO?

The fund will not incur any brokerage or other costs in connection with its
purchase or redemption of shares of the Portfolio.

Since most purchases by the Portfolio are principal transactions at net prices,
the Portfolio incurs little or no brokerage costs. The Portfolio deals directly
with the selling or buying principal or market maker without incurring charges
for the services of a broker on its behalf, unless it is determined that a
better price or execution may be obtained by using the services of a broker.
Purchases of portfolio securities from underwriters will include a commission or
concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and purchases from dealers
will include a spread between the bid and ask prices. The Portfolio seeks to
obtain prompt execution of orders at the most favorable net price. Transactions
may be directed to dealers in return for research and statistical information,
as well as for special services provided by the dealers in the execution of
orders.

It is not possible to place a dollar value on the special executions or on the
research services Advisers receives from dealers effecting transactions in
portfolio securities. The allocation of transactions in order to obtain
additional research services permits Advisers to supplement its own research and
analysis activities and to receive the views and information of individuals and
research staffs of other securities firms. As long as it is lawful and
appropriate to do so, Advisers and its affiliates may use this research and data
in their investment advisory capacities with other clients. If the Trust's
officers are satisfied that the best execution is obtained, the sale of fund
shares, as well as shares of other funds in the Franklin Templeton Group of
Funds, may also be considered a factor in the selection of broker-dealers to
execute the fund's portfolio transactions.

If purchases or sales of securities of the Portfolio and one or more other
investment companies or clients supervised by Advisers are considered at or
about the same time, transactions in these securities will be allocated among
the several investment companies and clients in a manner deemed equitable to all
by Advisers, taking into account the respective sizes of the funds and the
amount of securities to be purchased or sold. In some cases this procedure could
have a detrimental effect on the price or volume of the security so far as the
Portfolio is concerned. In other cases it is possible that the ability to
participate in volume transactions may improve execution and reduce transaction
costs to the Portfolio.

Depending on Advisers' view of market conditions, the Portfolio may or may not
buy securities with the expectation of holding them to maturity, although its
general policy is to hold securities to maturity. The Portfolio may, however,
sell securities before maturity to meet redemptions or as a result of a revised
management evaluation of the issuer.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Portfolio paid
no brokerage commissions.

As of June 30, 1998, the Portfolio owned securities issued by Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter & Co. valued in the aggregate at $80 million, J.P. Morgan & Co.
valued in the aggregate at $49 million, and Swiss Bank Corp. valued in the
aggregate at $25 million. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co, J.P. Morgan & Co. and
Swiss Bank Corp. are regular broker-dealers of the Portfolio. Except as noted,
neither the fund nor the Portfolio owned securities of its regular
broker-dealers as of the end of the fiscal year.

HOW DO I BUY, SELL AND EXCHANGE SHARES?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON BUYING SHARES

The fund continuously offers its shares through Securities Dealers who have an
agreement with Distributors. Banks and financial institutions that sell shares
of the fund may be required by state law to register as Securities Dealers.

All purchases of fund shares will be credited to you, in full and fractional
shares of the fund (rounded to the nearest 1/1000 of a share), in an account
maintained for you by the fund's transfer agent. No share certificates will be
issued.

The fund reserves the right to reject any order for the purchase of shares of
the fund and to waive any minimum investment requirements. The offering of
shares of the fund may be suspended at any time and resumed at any time
thereafter.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON EXCHANGING SHARES

If a substantial number of shareholders should, within a short period, sell
their shares of the fund under the exchange privilege, the fund might have to
sell portfolio securities it might otherwise hold and incur the additional costs
related to such transactions.

The proceeds from the sale of shares of an investment company are generally not
available until the seventh day following the sale. The funds you are seeking to
exchange into may delay issuing shares pursuant to an exchange until that
seventh day. The sale of fund shares to complete an exchange will be effected at
Net Asset Value at the close of business on the day the request for exchange is
received in proper form. Please see "May I Exchange Shares for Shares of Another
Fund?" in the Prospectus.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SELLING SHARES

REDEMPTIONS IN KIND. The fund has committed itself to pay in cash (by check) all
requests for redemption by any shareholder of record, limited in amount,
however, during any 90-day period to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the value
of the fund's net assets at the beginning of the 90-day period. This commitment
is irrevocable without the prior approval of the SEC. In the case of redemption
requests in excess of these amounts, the Board reserves the right to make
payments in whole or in part in securities or other assets of the fund, in case
of an emergency, or if the payment of such a redemption in cash would be
detrimental to the existing shareholders of the fund. In these circumstances,
the securities distributed would be valued at the price used to compute the
fund's net assets and you may incur brokerage fees in converting the securities
to cash.

SHAREHOLDER REDEMPTIONS

The fund will attempt to make payment for all shares redeemed on the day your
request is submitted, provided the fund is timely notified as described in the
fund's Prospectus, but in no event later than seven days after receipt by the
fund of your redemption request in proper form. The fund reserves the right,
however, to suspend redemptions or postpone the date of payment during any
period when (1) trading on the NYSE is closed for periods other than weekends
and holidays; (2) trading on the NYSE is restricted or an emergency exists, as
determined by the SEC, so that disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of
the net assets of the fund is not reasonably practicable; or (3) for such other
period as the SEC, by order, may permit for the protection of the fund's
shareholders. At various times, the fund may be requested to redeem shares for
which it has not yet received proper payment. Accordingly, the fund may delay
the sending of redemption proceeds until such time as it has assured itself that
proper payment has been collected for the purchase of such shares.

GENERAL INFORMATION

If dividend checks are returned to the fund marked "unable to forward" by the
postal service, we will consider this a request by you to change your dividend
option to reinvest all distributions. The proceeds will be reinvested in
additional shares at Net Asset Value until we receive new instructions.

Distribution or redemption checks sent to you do not earn interest or any other
income during the time the checks remain uncashed. Neither the fund nor its
affiliates will be liable for any loss caused by your failure to cash such
checks. The fund is not responsible for tracking down uncashed checks, unless a
check is returned as undeliverable.

In most cases, if mail is returned as undeliverable we are required to take
certain steps to try to find you free of charge. If these attempts are
unsuccessful, however, we may deduct the costs of any additional efforts to find
you from your account. These costs may include a percentage of the account when
a search company charges a percentage fee in exchange for its location services.

All wires sent and received by the custodian bank and reported by the custodian
bank to the fund prior to 3:00 p.m. Pacific time, except on holidays, the day
before a holiday or the day after a holiday, are normally effective on the same
day, provided the fund is notified on time as provided in the Prospectus. All
wire payments received or reported by the custodian bank to the fund after 3:00
p.m. will be effective on the next business day. All checks or other negotiable
bank drafts will normally be effective within two business days for checks drawn
on a member bank of the Federal Reserve System and longer for most other checks.
All checks, drafts, wires and other payment mediums used to buy or sell shares
of the fund must be denominated in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank, and are
accepted subject to collection at full face value. Checks drawn in U.S. funds on
foreign banks will not be credited to your account and dividends will not begin
accruing until the proceeds are collected, which may take a long period of time.
We may, in our sole discretion, either (a) reject any order to buy or sell
shares denominated in any other currency, or (b) honor the transaction or make
adjustments to your account for the transaction as of a date and with a foreign
currency exchange factor determined by the drawee bank.

HOW ARE FUND SHARES VALUED?

The valuation of the Portfolio's portfolio securities, including any securities
held in a separate account maintained for when-issued securities, is based on
the amortized cost of the securities, which does not take into account
unrealized capital gains or losses. This method involves valuing an instrument
at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any
discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on
the market value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in
calculation, it may result in periods during which value, as determined by
amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price the Portfolio would receive if
it sold the instrument. During periods of declining interest rates, the daily
yield on shares of the Portfolio computed as described above may tend to be
higher than a like computation made by a fund with identical investments but
utilizing a method of valuation based upon market prices and estimates of market
prices for all of its portfolio instruments. Thus, if the use of amortized cost
by the Portfolio resulted in a lower aggregate portfolio value on a particular
day, a prospective investor in the Portfolio would be able to obtain a somewhat
higher yield than would result from an investment in a fund utilizing only
market values, and existing investors in the Portfolio would receive less
investment income. The opposite would be true in a period of rising interest
rates.

The Portfolio's use of amortized cost, which helps the Portfolio maintain its
Net Asset Value per share of $1, is permitted by a rule adopted by the SEC.
Under this rule, the Portfolio must adhere to certain conditions. The Portfolio
must maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less
and only buy instruments having remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or
less. The Portfolio must also invest only in those U.S. dollar-denominated
securities that the Board of Trustees of Money Market determines present minimal
credit risks and that are rated in one of the two highest short-term rating
categories by nationally recognized rating services, or if unrated, are deemed
comparable in quality, or are instruments issued by an issuer that, with respect
to an outstanding issue of short-term debt that is comparable in priority and
protection, has received a rating within the two highest rating categories.
Securities subject to floating or variable interest rates with demand features
that comply with applicable SEC rules may have stated maturities in excess of
one year.

The Board of Trustees of Money Market has established procedures designed to
stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible, the Portfolio's price per share at
$1, as computed for the purpose of sales and redemptions. These procedures
include a review of the Portfolio's holdings by the Board of Trustees of Money
Market, at such intervals as it may deem appropriate, to determine if the
Portfolio's Net Asset Value calculated by using available market quotations
deviates from $1 per share based on amortized cost. The extent of any deviation
will be examined by the Board of Trustees of Money Market. If a deviation
exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the trustees will promptly consider what action, if any, will
be initiated. If the Board of Trustees of Money Market determines that a
deviation exists that may result in material dilution or other unfair results to
investors or existing shareholders, it will take corrective action that it
regards as necessary and appropriate, which may include selling portfolio
instruments before maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten
average portfolio maturity, withholding dividends, redeeming shares in kind, or
establishing a Net Asset Value per share by using available market quotations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DISTRIBUTIONS

DISTRIBUTIONS OF NET INVESTMENT INCOME. The fund declares dividends for each day
that the fund's Net Asset Value is calculated. These dividends will equal all of
the fund's daily net income payable to shareholders of record as of the close of
business the preceding day. The fund's daily net income includes its pro rata
share of the Portfolio's income plus or minus any gain or loss on the sale of
Portfolio shares and changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation in
Portfolio shares (to the extent required to maintain a constant Net Asset Value
per share), less the estimated expenses of the fund. The Portfolio's income
consists of accrued interest and any original issue or acquisition discount,
plus or minus any gain or loss on the sale of securities held by the Portfolio
and changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation in securities held by the
Portfolio, less the estimated expenses of the Portfolio.

The fund earns income and gains on its investment in the Portfolio. The
Portfolio, in turn, earns income generally in the form of interest, original
issue, market and acquisition discount, and other income derived from its
investments. This income, together with the excess of any net short-term capital
gain over net long-term capital loss realized by the Portfolio, less expenses
incurred in the operation of the Portfolio, is paid to the fund as ordinary
dividend income. The ordinary dividend income received from the Portfolio, less
expenses incurred in the operation of the fund, constitute the fund's net
investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. Any distributions by
the fund from such income will be taxable to you as ordinary income, whether you
take them in cash or in additional shares.

DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS. The fund may receive capital gain distributions
from the Portfolio, consisting of the excess of any net long-term capital gain
over net short-term capital loss realized by the Portfolio on the sale or
disposition of its underlying portfolio securities. The fund may also derive
capital gains and losses in connection with the sale of Portfolio shares.
Distributions derived from the excess of net short-term capital gain over net
long-term capital loss will be taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions
derived from the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss, including capital gain distributions received from the Portfolio,
will be taxable to you as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you
have held your shares in the fund. Any net short-term or long-term capital gains
realized by the fund (net of any capital loss carryovers) generally will be
distributed once each year, and may be distributed more frequently, if
necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the
fund. Because the fund is a money market fund, it does not anticipate realizing
any long-term capital gains, however.

CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS PAID IN JANUARY. Distributions which are declared in
October, November or December and paid to you in January of the following year
will be treated for tax purposes as if they had been received by you on December
31 of the year in which they were declared. The fund will report this income to
you on your Form 1099-DIV for the year in which these distributions were
declared.

MAINTENANCE OF $1.00 NET ASSET VALUE. Gains and losses on the sale of portfolio
securities and unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the value of these
securities may require the fund to distribute income or make distribution
adjustments in order to maintain a $1.00 Net Asset Value. These procedures may
result in under- or over-distributions of net investment income.

INFORMATION ON THE TAX CHARACTER OF DISTRIBUTIONS. The fund will inform you of
the amount and character of your distributions at the time they are paid, and
will advise you of the tax status for federal income tax purposes of such
distributions shortly after the close of each calendar year.

TAXES

ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY. The fund has elected to
be treated as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code, has
qualified as such for its most recent fiscal year, and intends so to qualify
during the current fiscal year. The Board reserves the right not to maintain the
qualification of the fund as a regulated investment company if it determines
such course of action to be beneficial to its shareholders. In such case, the
fund will be subject to federal, and possibly state, corporate taxes on its
taxable income and gains, and distributions to you will be taxed as ordinary
dividend income to the extent of the fund's available earnings and profits.

In order to qualify as a regulated investment company for tax purposes, the fund
must meet certain specific requirements, including:

o The fund must maintain a diversified portfolio of securities, wherein no
security (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other
regulated investment companies) can exceed 25% of the fund's total assets,
and, with respect to 50% of the fund's total assets, no investment (other
than cash and cash items, U.S. government securities and securities of other
regulated investment companies) can exceed 5% of the fund's total assets or
10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer;

o The fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends,
interest, payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale
or disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income
derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities,
or currencies; and

o The fund must distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its investment
company taxable income (i.e., net investment income plus net short-term
capital gains) and net tax-exempt income for each of its fiscal years.

EXCISE TAX DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS. The Code requires the fund to distribute
at least 98% of its taxable ordinary income earned during the calendar year and
98% of its capital gain net income earned during the twelve month period ending
October 31 (in addition to undistributed amounts from the prior year) to you by
December 31 of each year in order to avoid federal excise taxes. The fund
intends to declare and pay sufficient dividends in December (or in January of
the following year that are treated by you as received in December of the prior
year) but does not guarantee and can give no assurances that its distributions
will be sufficient to eliminate all such taxes.

REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES. Redemptions and exchanges of fund shares are taxable
transactions for federal and state income tax purposes. The tax law requires
that you recognize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between
your tax basis and the amount you received in exchange for your shares, subject
to the rules described below. If you hold your shares as a capital asset, the
gain or loss that you realize will be capital gain or loss, and will be
long-term for federal income tax purposes if you have held your shares for more
than one year at the time of redemption or exchange. Any loss incurred on the
redemption or exchange of shares held for six months or less will be treated as
a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gains
distributed to you by the fund on those shares.

All or a portion of any loss that you realize upon the redemption of your fund
shares will be disallowed to the extent that you purchase other shares in the
fund (through reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within 30 days before or
after your share redemption. Any loss disallowed under these rules will be added
to your tax basis in the new shares you purchase. Because the fund seeks to
maintain a constant $1.00 per share Net Asset Value, you should not expect to
realize a gain or loss upon redemption of your fund shares, however.

U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS. Many states grant tax-free status to dividends paid
to shareholders from interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S.
Government, subject in some states to minimum investment requirements that must
be met by the fund. Investments in Government National Mortgage
Association/Federal National Mortgage Association securities, bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S.
government securities do not generally qualify for tax-free treatment. It is
anticipated, however, that no portion of the fund's distributions will qualify
for exemption from state and local income tax as dividends paid from interest
earned on direct obligations of the U.S. Government. At the end of each calendar
year, the fund will provide you with the percentage of any dividends paid that
may qualify for tax-free treatment on your personal income tax return. You
should consult with your own tax advisor to determine the application of your
state and local laws to these distributions. Because the rules on exclusion of
this income are different for corporations, corporate shareholders should
consult with their corporate tax advisors about whether any of their
distributions may be exempt from corporate income or franchise taxes.

MUNICIPAL INVESTORS. Municipalities may invest surplus money subject to the
arbitrage rebate requirements of section 148 of the Code in the fund. Section
115(1) of the Code provides, in part, that gross income does not include income
accruing to a state, territory, or any political subdivision thereof that is
derived from the exercise of any essential government function. To the extent
that an investment by a municipality in the fund is made in connection with such
functions, the municipality will not be liable for federal income tax on income
or gains derived from its investment. A municipality that invests money subject
to the arbitrage rebate requirements in the fund should be aware that some or
all of the earnings distributed by the fund may need to be paid to the U.S. as a
rebate of arbitrage profits.

DIVIDENDS-RECEIVED DEDUCTION FOR CORPORATIONS. Because the fund's income is
derived primarily from interest rather than dividends, no portion of its
distributions will generally be eligible for the intercorporate
dividends-received deduction. None of the dividends paid by the fund for the
most recent fiscal year qualified for such deduction, and it is anticipated that
none of the current year's dividends will so qualify.

THE FUND'S UNDERWRITER

Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, Distributors acts as principal
underwriter in a continuous public offering of the fund's shares. The
underwriting agreement will continue in effect for successive annual periods if
its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of the
Board or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the fund's outstanding voting
securities, and in either event by a majority vote of the Board members who are
not parties to the underwriting agreement or interested persons of any such
party (other than as members of the Board), cast in person at a meeting called
for that purpose. The underwriting agreement terminates automatically in the
event of its assignment and may be terminated by either party on 90 days'
written notice.

Distributors pays the expenses of the distribution of fund shares, including
advertising expenses and the costs of printing sales material and prospectuses
used to offer shares to the public. The fund pays the expenses of preparing and
printing amendments to its registration statements and prospectuses (other than
those necessitated by the activities of Distributors) and of sending
prospectuses to existing shareholders. Distributors may be entitled to
reimbursement under the Rule 12b-1 plan, as discussed below. Except as noted,
Distributors received no other compensation from the fund for acting as
underwriter.

THE RULE 12B-1 PLAN

The fund has a distribution plan or "Rule 12b-1 plan" that was adopted pursuant
to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Under the plan, the fund may pay up to a maximum
of 0.25% per year of its average daily net assets, payable quarterly, for
expenses incurred in the promotion and distribution of its shares.

In addition to the payments that Distributors or others are entitled to under
the plan, the plan also provides that to the extent the fund, Advisers or
Distributors or other parties on behalf of the fund, Advisers or Distributors
make payments that are deemed to be for the financing of any activity primarily
intended to result in the sale of fund shares within the context of Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act, then such payments shall be deemed to have been made
pursuant to the plan.

In no event shall the aggregate asset-based sales charges, which include
payments made under the plan, plus any other payments deemed to be made pursuant
to the plan, exceed the amount permitted to be paid under the rules of the NASD.

The terms and provisions of the plan relating to required reports, term, and
approval are consistent with Rule 12b-1. The plan does not permit unreimbursed
expenses incurred in a particular year to be carried over to or reimbursed in
later years.

To the extent fees are for distribution or marketing functions, as distinguished
from administrative servicing or agency transactions, certain banks will not be
entitled to participate in the plan as a result of applicable federal law
prohibiting certain banks from engaging in the distribution of mutual fund
shares. These banking institutions, however, are permitted to receive fees under
the plan for administrative servicing or for agency transactions. If you are a
customer of a bank that is prohibited from providing these services, you would
be permitted to remain a shareholder of the fund, and alternate means for
continuing the servicing would be sought. In this event, changes in the services
provided might occur and you might no longer be able to avail yourself of any
automatic investment or other services then being provided by the bank. It is
not expected that you would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a
result of any of these changes.

The plan has been approved in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1. The
plan is renewable annually by a vote of the Board, including a majority vote of
the Board members who are not interested persons of the fund and who have no
direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the plan, cast in
person at a meeting called for that purpose. It is also required that the
selection and nomination of such Board members be done by the non-interested
members of the Board. The plan and any related agreement may be terminated at
any time, without penalty, by vote of a majority of the non-interested Board
members on not more than 60 days' written notice, by Distributors on not more
than 60 days' written notice, by any act that constitutes an assignment of the
administration agreement between the Trust and Advisers or the management
agreement between Money Market and Advisers, or by vote of a majority of the
fund's outstanding shares. Distributors or any dealer or other firm may also
terminate their respective distribution or service agreement at any time upon
written notice.

The plan and any related agreements may not be amended to increase materially
the amount to be spent for distribution expenses without approval by a majority
of the outstanding shares of the fund, and all material amendments to the plan
or any related agreements shall be approved by a vote of the non-interested
members of the Board, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on any such amendment.

Distributors is required to report in writing to the Board at least quarterly on
the amounts and purpose of any payment made under the plan and any related
agreements, as well as to furnish the Board with such other information as may
reasonably be requested in order to enable the Board to make an informed
determination of whether the plan should be continued.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, Distributors had eligible expenditures
of $287,888 for advertising, printing, and payments to underwriters and
broker-dealers pursuant to the plan, of which the fund paid Distributors
$272,527.

HOW DOES THE FUND MEASURE PERFORMANCE?

Performance quotations are subject to SEC rules. These rules require the use of
standardized performance quotations or, alternatively, that every
non-standardized performance quotation furnished by the fund be accompanied by
certain standardized performance information computed as required by the SEC.
Current yield and effective yield quotations used by the fund are based on the
standardized methods of computing performance mandated by the SEC. An
explanation of these and other methods used by the fund to compute or express
performance follows. Regardless of the method used, past performance does not
guarantee future results.

YIELD

CURRENT YIELD. Current yield shows the income per share earned by the fund. It
is calculated by determining the net change, excluding capital changes, in the
value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at
the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting
deductions from shareholder accounts, and dividing the difference by the value
of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period
return. The result is then annualized by multiplying the base period return by
(365/7). The fund's current yield for the seven day period ended June 30, 1998,
was 5.14%.

EFFECTIVE YIELD. The fund's effective yield is calculated in the same manner as
its current yield, except the annualization of the return for the seven day
period reflects the results of compounding. The fund's effective yield for the
seven day period ended June 30, 1998, was 5.27%.

This figure was obtained using the following SEC formula:

365/7
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1) ] - 1

OTHER PERFORMANCE QUOTATIONS

The fund may include in its advertising or sales material information relating
to investment goals and performance results of funds belonging to the Franklin
Templeton Group of Funds. Resources is the parent company of the advisors and
underwriter of the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds.

COMPARISONS

To help you better evaluate how an investment in the fund may satisfy your
investment goal, advertisements and other materials about the fund may discuss
certain measures of fund performance as reported by various financial
publications. Materials may also compare performance (as calculated above) to
performance as reported by other investments, indices and averages. These
comparisons may include, but are not limited to, the following examples:

a) IBC Money Fund Report(R) - industry averages for seven-day annualized and
compounded yields of taxable, tax-free, and government money funds.

b) Bank Rate Monitor - a weekly publication that reports various bank
investments such as CD rates, average savings account rates and average loan
rates.

c) Lipper - Mutual Fund Performance Analysis, Lipper - Fixed Income Fund
Performance Analysis, and Lipper - Mutual Fund Yield Survey - measure total
return and average current yield for the mutual fund industry and rank
individual mutual fund performance over specified time periods, assuming
reinvestment of all distributions, exclusive of any applicable sales charges.

d) Salomon Brothers Bond Market Roundup - a weekly publication that reviews
yield spread changes in the major sectors of the money, government agency,
futures, options, mortgage, corporate, Yankee, Eurodollar, municipal, and
preferred stock markets and summarizes changes in banking statistics and reserve
aggregates.

e) Consumer Price Index (or Cost of Living Index), published by the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics - a statistical measure of change, over time, in the price
of goods and services in major expenditure groups.

f) Stocks, Bonds, Bills, and Inflation, published by Ibbotson Associates - a
historical measure of yield, price, and total return for common and small
company stock, long term government bonds, Treasury bills, and inflation.

g) Financial publications: THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND BUSINESS WEEK, CHANGING
TIMES, FINANCIAL WORLD, FORBES, FORTUNE, and MONEY MAGAZINES provide performance
statistics over specified time periods.

Advertisements or information may also compare the fund's performance to the
return on CDs or other investments. You should be aware, however, that an
investment in the fund involves the risk of fluctuation of principal value, a
risk generally not present in an investment in a CD issued by a bank. CDs are
frequently insured by an agency of the U.S. government. An investment in the
fund is not insured by any federal, state or private entity.

In assessing comparisons of performance, you should keep in mind that the
composition of the investments in the reported indices and averages is not
identical to the fund's portfolio, the indices and averages are generally
unmanaged, and the items included in the calculations of the averages may not be
identical to the formula used by the fund to calculate its figures. In addition,
there can be no assurance that the fund will continue its performance as
compared to these other averages.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

The fund may help you achieve various investment goals such as accumulating
money for retirement, saving for a down payment on a home, college costs and
other long-term goals. The Franklin College Costs Planner may help you in
determining how much money must be invested on a monthly basis in order to have
a projected amount available in the future to fund a child's college education.
(Projected college cost estimates are based upon current costs published by the
College Board.) The Franklin Retirement Planning Guide leads you through the
steps to start a retirement savings program. Of course, an investment in the
fund cannot guarantee that these goals will be met.

The fund is a member of the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds, one of the
largest mutual fund organizations in the U.S., and may be considered in a
program for diversification of assets. Founded in 1947, Franklin, one of the
oldest mutual fund organizations, has managed mutual funds for over 50 years and
now services more than 3 million shareholder accounts. In 1992, Franklin, a
leader in managing fixed-income mutual funds and an innovator in creating
domestic equity funds, joined forces with Templeton, a pioneer in international
investing. The Mutual Series team, known for its value-driven approach to
domestic equity investing, became part of the organization four years later.
Together, the Franklin Templeton Group has over $236 billion in assets under
management for more than 6 million U.S. based mutual fund shareholder and other
accounts. The Franklin Templeton Group of Funds offers 119 U.S. based open-end
investment companies to the public. The fund may identify itself by its NASDAQ
symbol or CUSIP number.

MISCELLANEOUS - The fund may be used in shareholder newsletters as an example of
how investors can meet long-term investment goals. Advertisements may indicate
how Franklin Gift Certificates may be used to purchase shares of the fund.

The fund may be listed as a member of the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds in
shareholder newsletters.

The fund may be used in shareholder newsletters as an example of the benefits of
diversification.

The fund may be used to demonstrate the benefits offered by professional
management.

Advertisements may indicate that as an established presence in the municipal
securities industry, the Franklin Templeton Group currently manages over $46
billion in municipal bond assets. Its municipal bond experience and knowledge of
municipal issuers allows the Franklin Templeton Group to offer investment
vehicles and services tailored to the needs of government investors.

Of course, an investment in the fund cannot guarantee that the shareholder's
goals will be met.

SPECIAL SERVICES

You may utilize Franklin's IFT Hypothetical Illustrations Service as a useful
tool in considering investments. The service, which is free of charge, enables
you to make an actual, dollar-for-dollar performance comparison of any of the
Trust's series to any security, pool, or portfolio which you may currently be
using. It is based on historical information and covers any time period you may
wish to use, after February 4, 1988 (the beginning of dividend payments for two
series of the Trust). You would simply choose a series of the Trust to compare
and provide us with a starting date, a starting amount, and all subsequent
purchases or withdrawals. The illustration shows the actual dollar performance
of these actions in the selected series, which you can use to compare to that of
your own investment or portfolio.

Investor Services may charge you separate fees, to be negotiated directly with
you, for providing special services in connection with your account, such as
subaccounting, processing a large number of wires each month, or other special
handling that you may request. These special services provided to certain
shareholders will not increase the expenses borne by the fund.

As of August 4, 1998, the principal shareholders of the fund, beneficial or of

From time to time, the number of fund shares held in the "street name" accounts
of various Securities Dealers for the benefit of their clients or in centralized
securities depositories may exceed 5% of the total shares outstanding.

As a shareholder of a Massachusetts business trust, you could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable as a partner for its obligations. The
fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, however, contains an express
disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the fund. The
Declaration of Trust also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of
expenses out of the fund's assets if you are held personally liable for
obligations of the fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that the fund shall,
upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against you for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. All such rights are
limited to the assets of the fund. The Declaration of Trust further provides
that the fund may maintain appropriate insurance (for example, fidelity bonding
and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of the fund, its
shareholders, trustees, officers, employees and agents to cover possible tort
and other liabilities. Furthermore, the activities of the fund as an investment
company, as distinguished from an operating company, would not likely give rise
to liabilities in excess of the fund's total assets. Thus, the risk of you
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to the
unlikely circumstances in which both inadequate insurance exists and the fund
itself is unable to meet its obligations.

In the event of disputes involving multiple claims of ownership or authority to
control your account, the fund has the right (but has no obligation) to: (a)
freeze the account and require the written agreement of all persons deemed by
the fund to have a potential property interest in the account, before executing
instructions regarding the account; (b) interplead disputed funds or accounts
with a court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) surrender ownership of all or a
portion of the account to the IRS in response to a Notice of Levy.

Distributors and/or its affiliates provide financial support to various
Securities Dealers that sell shares of the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds.
This support is based primarily on the amount of sales of fund shares. The
amount of support may be affected by: total sales; net sales; levels of
redemptions; the proportion of a Securities Dealer's sales and marketing efforts
in the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds; a Securities Dealer's support of, and
participation in, Distributors' marketing programs; a Securities Dealer's
compensation programs for its registered representatives; and the extent of a
Securities Dealer's marketing programs relating to the Franklin Templeton Group
of Funds. Financial support to Securities Dealers may be made by payments from
Distributors' resources, from Distributors' retention of underwriting
concessions and, in the case of funds that have Rule 12b-1 plans, from payments
to Distributors under such plans. In addition, certain Securities Dealers may
receive brokerage commissions generated by fund portfolio transactions in
accordance with the NASD's rules.

SUMMARY OF CODE OF ETHICS. Employees of the Franklin Templeton Group who are
access persons under the 1940 Act are permitted to engage in personal securities
transactions subject to the following general restrictions and procedures: (i)
the trade must receive advance clearance from a compliance officer and must be
completed by the close of the business day following the day clearance is
granted; (ii) copies of all brokerage confirmations and statements must be sent
to a compliance officer; (iii) all brokerage accounts must be disclosed on an
annual basis; and (iv) access persons involved in preparing and making
investment decisions must, in addition to (i), (ii) and (iii) above, file annual
reports of their securities holdings each January and inform the compliance
officer (or other designated personnel) if they own a security that is being
considered for a fund or other client transaction or if they are recommending a
security in which they have an ownership interest for purchase or sale by a fund
or other client.

APPENDICES

SUMMARY OF PROCEDURES TO
MONITOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Board of Trustees of Money Market, on behalf of its series ("master funds"),
and the Board of the fund ("feeder fund"), (both of which are composed of the
same individuals) recognize that there is the potential for certain conflicts of
interest to arise between the master fund and the feeder fund in this format.
These potential conflicts of interest could include, among others: the creation
of additional feeder funds with different fee structures; the creation of
additional feeder funds that could have controlling voting interests in any
pass-through voting which could affect investment and other policies; a proposal
to increase fees at the master fund level; and any consideration of changes in
fundamental policies at the master fund level that may or may not be acceptable
to a particular feeder fund.

In recognition of the potential for conflicts of interest to develop, the Board
of Trustees of Money Market and the Board of the Trust have adopted certain
procedures under which i) management of the master fund and the feeder fund
will, on a yearly basis, report to each board, including the independent members
of each board, on the operation of the master/feeder fund structure; ii) the
independent members of each board will have ongoing responsibility for reviewing
all proposals at the master fund level to determine whether any proposal
presents a potential for a conflict of interest and to the extent any other
potential conflicts arise before the normal annual review, they will act
promptly to review the potential conflict; iii) if the independent members of
each board determine that a situation or proposal presents a potential conflict,
they will request a written analysis from the master fund management describing
whether the apparent potential conflict of interest will impede the operation of
the constituent feeder fund and the interests of the feeder fund's shareholders;
and iv) upon receipt of the analysis, the independent members of each board
shall review the analysis and present their conclusion to the full boards.

If no actual conflict is deemed to exist, the independent board members will
recommend that no further action be taken. If the analysis is inconclusive, they
may submit the matter to and be guided by the opinion of independent legal
counsel issued in a written opinion. If a conflict is deemed to exist, they may
recommend one or more of the following actions: i) suggest a course of action
designed to eliminate the potential conflict of interest; ii) if appropriate,
request that the full boards submit the potential conflict to shareholders for
resolution; iii) recommend to the full boards that the affected feeder fund no
longer invest in its designated master fund and propose either a search for a
new master fund in which to invest the feeder fund's assets or the hiring of an
investment manager to manage the feeder fund's assets in accordance with its
investment goals and policies; iv) recommend to the full boards that a new board
be recommended to shareholders for approval; or v) recommend such other action
as may be considered appropriate.

DESCRIPTION OF RATINGS

CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

MOODY'S

Aaa - Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt-edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or exceptionally stable
margin, and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be high quality by all standards. Together
with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds.
They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not
be as large, fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude, or
there may be other elements present that make the long-term risks appear
somewhat larger.

A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
considered upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal
and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present that suggest a
susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa - Bonds rated Baa are considered medium-grade obligations. They are neither
highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security
appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking
or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. These
bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have speculative
characteristics as well.

Ba - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have predominantly speculative elements and
their future cannot be considered well assured. Often the protection of interest
and principal payments is very moderate and, thereby, not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.

NOTE: Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in each generic rating
classification in its corporate bond ratings. The modifier 1 indicates that the
security ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; modifier 2
indicates a mid-range ranking; and modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in
the lower end of its generic rating category.

S&P

AAA - This is the highest rating assigned by S&P to a debt obligation and
indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest.

AA - Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations. Capacity to
pay principal and interest is very strong and, in the majority of instances,
differ from AAA issues only in small degree.

A - Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although
they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions.

BBB - Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in this category
than for bonds in the A category.

PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-): The ratings from "AA" to "BBB" may be modified by the
addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS

MOODY'S

Aaa: Municipal bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt-edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or exceptionally stable
margin, and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa: Municipal bonds rated Aa are judged to be high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large, fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude, or there may be other elements present that make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger.

A: Municipal bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
considered upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal
and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be that suggest a
susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa: Municipal bonds rated Baa are considered medium-grade obligations. They are
neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present, but certain protective elements may be
lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time.
These bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact, have
speculative characteristics as well.

S&P

AAA: Municipal bonds rated AAA are the highest-grade obligations. They possess
the ultimate degree of protection as to principal and interest. In the market,
they move with interest rates and, hence, provide the maximum safety on all
counts.

AA: Municipal bonds rated AA also qualify as high-grade obligations, and in the
majority of instances differ from AAA issues only in a small degree. Here, too,
prices move with the long-term money market.

A: Municipal bonds rated A are regarded as upper medium-grade. They have
considerable investment strength but are not entirely free from adverse effects
of changes in economic and trade conditions. Interest and principal are regarded
as safe. They predominantly reflect money rates in their market behavior but
also, to some extent, economic conditions.

BBB: Municipal bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in
this category than for bonds in the A category.

PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-): The ratings from "AA" to "BBB" may be modified by the
addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

FITCH

AAA: Municipal bonds rated AAA are considered to be investment grade and of the
highest credit quality. The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay
interest and repay principal that is unlikely to be affected by reasonably
foreseeable events.

AA: Municipal bonds rated AA are considered to be investment grade and of very
high credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal
is very strong although not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA and not
significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments.

A: Municipal bonds rated A are considered to be investment grade and of high
credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is
considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in
economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB: Municipal bonds rated BBB are considered to be investment grade and of
satisfactory credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay
principal is considered adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances, however, are more likely to have an adverse impact on these
bonds, and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of
these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with
higher ratings.

Plus (+) or minus (-) signs are used with a rating symbol to indicate the
relative position of a credit within the rating category. Plus or minus signs
are not used with the AAA category.

MUNICIPAL NOTE RATINGS

MOODY'S

Moody's ratings for state, municipal and other short-term obligations will be
designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG"). This distinction is in recognition
of the differences between short-term credit risk and long-term risk. Factors
affecting the liquidity of the borrower are uppermost in importance in
short-term borrowing; factors of the first importance in long-term borrowing
risk are of lesser importance in the short run. Symbols used will be as follows:

MIG 1: Notes are of the best quality enjoying strong protection from established
cash flows of funds for their servicing or from established and broad-based
access to the market for refinancing, or both.

MIG 2: Notes are of high quality, with margins of protection ample, although not
so large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3: Notes are of favorable quality, with all security elements accounted for,
but lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Market access for
refinancing, in particular, is likely to be less well established.

MIG 4: Notes are of adequate quality, carrying specific risk but having
protection and not distinctly or predominantly speculative.

S&P

Until June 29, 1984, S&P used the same rating symbols for notes and bonds. After
June 29, 1984, for new municipal note issues due in three years or less, the
ratings below will usually be assigned. Notes maturing beyond three years will
most likely receive a bond rating of the type recited above.

SP-1: Issues carrying this designation have a very strong or strong capacity to
pay principal and interest. Issues determined to possess overwhelming safety
characteristics will be given a "plus" (+) designation.

SP-2: Issues carrying this designation have a satisfactory capacity to pay
principal and interest.

COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

MOODY'S

Moody's commercial paper ratings, which are also applicable to municipal paper
investments permitted to be made by the fund, are opinions of the ability of
issuers to repay punctually their promissory obligations not having an original
maturity in excess of nine months. Moody's employs the following designations,
all judged to be investment grade, to indicate the relative repayment capacity
of rated issuers:

P-1 (PRIME-1): Superior capacity for repayment.

P-2 (PRIME-2): Strong capacity for repayment.

S&P

S&P's ratings are a current assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of
debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days. Ratings are graded
into four categories, ranging from "A" for the highest quality obligations to
"D" for the lowest. Issues within the "A" category are delineated with the
numbers 1, 2 and 3 to indicate the relative degree of safety, as follows:

A-1: This designation indicates the degree of safety regarding timely payment is
very strong. A "plus" (+) designation indicates an even stronger likelihood of
timely payment.

A-2: Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is strong. The
relative degree of safety,however, is not as overwhelming as for issues
designated A-1.

A-3: Issues carrying this designation have a satisfactory capacity for timely
payment. They are, however, somewhat more vulnerable to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.

FITCH

Fitch's short-term ratings apply to debt obligations that are payable on demand
or have original maturities of generally up to three years, including commercial
paper, CDs, medium-term notes, and municipal and investment notes. The
short-term rating places greater emphasis than a long-term rating on the
existence of liquidity necessary to meet the issuer's obligations in a timely
manner.

F-1+: Exceptionally strong credit quality. Regarded as having the strongest
degree of assurance for timely payment.

F-1: Very strong credit quality. Reflect an assurance of timely payment only
slightly less in degree than issues rated F-1+.

F-2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment,
but the margin of safety is not as great as for issues assigned F-1+ and F-1
ratings.

F-3: Fair credit quality. Have characteristics suggesting that the degree of
assurance for timely payment is adequate; however, near-term adverse changes
could cause these securities to be rated below investment grade.

LOC: The symbol LOC indicates that the rating is based on a letter of credit
issued by a commercial bank.

HOW DO THE FUNDS INVEST THEIR ASSETS?

WHAT ARE THE FUNDS' GOALS?

The investment goal of each fund is to provide investors with as high a level
of current income as is consistent with preservation of shareholders' capital
and liquidity. This goal is fundamental, which means that it may not be
changed without shareholder approval. Each fund also tries to maintain a
stable Net Asset Value of $1 per share. The Money Fund seeks to achieve its
investment goal by investing all of its assets in shares of The Money Market
Portfolio (the "Money Portfolio") and the U.S. Securities Fund by investing
in The U.S. Government Securities Money Market Portfolio (the "U.S.
Securities Portfolio"). Each Portfolio is a series of The Money Market
Portfolios ("Money Market"). References in the SAI to the "Portfolio," unless
the context indicates that an individual portfolio is being referenced, are
to both the Money Portfolio and the U.S. Securities Portfolio. Their
investment goals are the same as the funds'.

The following gives more detailed information about the Portfolio's
investment policies and the types of securities that it may buy. Please read
this information together with the section "How Do the Funds Invest Their
Assets?" in the Prospectus.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE KINDS OF SECURITIES THE PORTFOLIO BUYS

BANK OBLIGATIONS. As discussed in the Prospectus, the Money Portfolio may
invest in certain bank obligations or instruments secured by bank
obligations. These obligations may include deposits that are fully insured by
the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, such as deposits in
banking and savings institutions up to the current limit of the insurance on
principal provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Deposits are
frequently combined in larger units by an intermediate bank or other
institution.

VARIABLE MASTER DEMAND NOTES. Variable master demand notes are a type of
commercial paper in which the Money Portfolio may invest. They are direct
arrangements between a lender and a borrower that allow daily changes to the
amount borrowed and to the interest rate. The Money Portfolio, as lender, may
increase or decrease the amount provided by the note agreement, and the
borrower may repay up to the full amount of the note without penalty.
Typically, the borrower may also set the interest rate daily, usually at a
rate that is the same or similar to the interest rate on other commercial
paper issued by the borrower. The Money Portfolio does not have any limit on
the amount of its assets that may be invested in master demand notes and may
invest only in master demand notes of U.S. issuers.

Because variable master demand notes are direct lending arrangements between
the lender and the borrower, they generally are not traded and do not have a
secondary market. They are, however, redeemable at face value plus accrued
interest at any time, although the Money Portfolio's ability to redeem a note
is dependent on the ability of the borrower to pay the principal and interest
on demand. When determining whether to invest in a master demand note,
Advisers considers, among other things, the earning power, cash flow and
other liquidity ratios of the issuer.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The Money Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its assets
in taxable municipal securities. Municipal securities are issued by or on
behalf of states, territories or possessions of the U.S., the District of
Columbia, or their political subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities.
They are generally issued to raise money for various public purposes, such as
constructing public facilities and making loans to public institutions.
Certain types of municipal securities are issued to provide funding for
privately operated facilities and are generally taxable.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT SOME OF THE PORTFOLIOS' OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
AND PRACTICES

DIVERSIFICATION. The Portfolio is a diversified fund. As fundamental
policies, the Portfolio may not buy a security if, with respect to 75% of its
total assets, more than 5% would be invested in the securities of any one
issuer. The Portfolio also may not invest in a security if the Portfolio
would own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one
issuer. These limitations do not apply to obligations issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. government or its instrumentalities.

As a money market fund, however, the Portfolio must follow certain procedures
required by federal securities laws that may be more restrictive than some of
the Portfolio's other policies or investment restrictions. With respect to
diversification, these procedures require that the Portfolio not invest more
than 5% of its total assets in securities of a single issuer, other than U.S.
government securities, although it may invest up to 25% of its total assets
in securities of a single issuer that are rated in the highest rating
category for a period of up to three business days after purchase. The
Portfolio also must not invest more than (a) the greater of 1% of its total
assets or $1 million in securities issued by a single issuer that are rated
in the second highest rating category; and (b) 5% of its total assets in
securities rated in the second highest rating category. These procedures are
fundamental policies of the Portfolio.

WHEN-ISSUED OR DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. When the Money Portfolio is the
buyer in the transaction, it will maintain cash or liquid securities, with an
aggregate value equal to the amount of its purchase commitments, in a
segregated account with its custodian bank until payment is made. The Money
Portfolio will not engage in when-issued and delayed-delivery transactions
for investment leverage purposes.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are contracts under which the
buyer of a security simultaneously commits to resell the security to the
seller at an agreed upon price and date. Under a repurchase agreement, the
seller is required to maintain the value of the securities subject to the
repurchase agreement at not less than the repurchase price. Advisers will
monitor the value of such securities daily to determine that the value equals
or exceed the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements may involve risks in
the event of default or insolvency of the seller, including possible delays
or restrictions upon the Portfolio's ability to dispose of the underlying
securities. The Portfolio will enter into repurchase agreements only with
parties who meet creditworthiness standards approved by Money Market's Board,
I.E., banks or broker-dealers that have been determined by Advisers to
present no serious risk of becoming involved in bankruptcy proceedings within
the time frame contemplated by the repurchase transaction.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Consistent with procedures approved by the
Board of Trustees of Money Market and subject to the following conditions,
the Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to qualified securities
dealers or other institutional investors, if such loans do not exceed 25% of
the value of the Money Portfolio's total assets and 10% of the value of the
U.S. Securities Portfolio's total assets at the time of the most recent loan.
The Portfolio, however, currently intends to limit its lending of securities
to no more than 5% of it total assets. The borrower must deposit with the
Portfolio's custodian bank collateral with an initial market value of at
least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned, including any
accrued interest, with the value of the collateral and loaned securities
marked-to-market daily to maintain collateral coverage of at least 100%. For
the Money Portfolio, this collateral shall consist of cash; for the U.S.
Securities Portfolio, this collateral shall consist of cash, securities
issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or
irrevocable letters of credit. The lending of securities is a common practice
in the securities industry. The Portfolio may engage in security loan
arrangements with the primary objective of increasing the Portfolio's income
either through investing cash collateral in short-term interest-bearing
obligations or by receiving a loan premium from the borrower. Under the
securities loan agreement, the Portfolio continues to be entitled to all
dividends or interest on any loaned securities. As with any extension of
credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and loss of rights in the
collateral should the borrower of the security fail financially.

BORROWING. The Money Portfolio may borrow up to 5% of its total assets from
banks for temporary or emergency purposes. The maximum amount the U.S.
Securities Portfolio may borrow from banks for such purposes is 10% of its
total assets. The Portfolio will not make any new investments while any
outstanding loans exceed 5% of its total assets.

OTHER LIMITATIONS. The Money Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of its
total assets in securities of companies, including predecessors, that have
been in continuous operation for less than three years. The Money Portfolio
also may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any particular
industry, although it may invest more than 25% of its assets in certain
domestic bank obligations. These limitations do not apply to U.S. government
securities, federal agency obligations, or repurchase agreements fully
collateralized by government securities. There are, however, certain tax
diversification requirements that may apply to investments in repurchase
agreements and other securities that are not treated as U.S. government
securities under the Code.

THE FUNDS' MASTER/FEEDER STRUCTURE

Each fund's structure, where it invests all of its assets in the Portfolio,
is sometimes known as a "Master/Feeder" structure. By investing all of its
assets in shares of the Portfolio, each fund, other mutual funds and
institutional investors can pool their assets. This may result in asset
growth and lower expenses, although there is no guarantee that this will
happen.

If a fund, as a shareholder of the Portfolio, has to vote on a matter
relating to the Portfolio, it will hold a meeting of fund shareholders and
will cast its votes in the same proportion as the fund's shareholders voted.

There are some risks associated with the funds' Master/Feeder structure. If
other shareholders in the Portfolio sell their shares, the corresponding
fund's expenses may increase. Additionally, any economies of scale a fund has
achieved as a result of the structure may be diminished. Institutional
investors in the Portfolio that have a greater pro rata ownership interest in
the Portfolio than the corresponding fund could also have effective voting
control.

If the Portfolio changes its investment goal or any of its fundamental
policies and fund shareholders do not approve the same change for the
corresponding fund, the fund may need to withdraw its investment from the
Portfolio. Likewise, if the Board considers it to be in a fund's best
interest, it may withdraw the fund's investment from the Portfolio at any
time. If either situation occurs, the Board will decide what action to take.
Possible solutions might include investing all of a fund's assets in another
pooled investment entity with the same investment goal and policies as the
fund, or hiring an investment advisor to manage the fund's investments.
Either circumstance could increase a fund's expenses.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

Each fund has adopted the following restrictions as fundamental policies.
These restrictions may not be changed without the approval of a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of the fund. Under the 1940 Act, this means
the approval of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a fund or (ii)
67% or more of the shares of a fund present at a shareholder meeting if more
than 50% of the outstanding shares of a fund are represented at the meeting
in person or by proxy, whichever is less. Each fund MAY NOT:

(1) Borrow money or mortgage or pledge any of its assets, except that
borrowings (and a pledge of assets therefor) for temporary or emergency
purposes may be made from banks in any amount up to 5% of the Money Fund's
total asset value and up to 10% of the U.S. Securities Fund's total asset
value.

(2) Make loans, except (a) through the purchase of debt securities in
accordance with the investment objectives and policies of the fund, (b) to
the extent the entry into a repurchase agreement is deemed to be a loan, or
(c) by the loan of its portfolio securities in accordance with the policies
described above.

(3) Invest in any issuer for purposes of exercising control or management,
except that, to the extent this restriction is applicable, all or
substantially all of the assets of the fund may be invested in another
registered investment company having the same investment objectives and
policies as the fund.

(4) Buy any securities "on margin" or sell any securities "short," except
that it may use such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
transactions.

(5) Purchase securities, in private placements or in other transactions, for
which there are legal or contractual restrictions on resale and are not
readily marketable, or enter into a repurchase agreement with more than seven
days to maturity if, as a result, more than 10% of the total assets of the
fund would be invested in such securities or repurchase agreements, except
that, to the extent this restriction is applicable, the fund may purchase, in
private placements, shares of another registered investment company having
the same investment objectives and policies as the fund.

(6) Purchase securities of other investment companies, except in connection
with a merger, consolidation, acquisition or reorganization; provided that
all or substantially all of the assets of the fund may be invested in another
registered investment company having the same investment objectives and
policies as the fund.

(7) Invest more than 25% of its assets in securities of any industry,
although, for purposes of this limitation, U.S. government obligations are
not considered to be part of any industry. This prohibition does not apply
where the policies of the fund, as described in the Prospectus, specify
otherwise.

(8) Act as underwriter of securities issued by other persons, except insofar
as the Trust may technically be deemed an underwriter under the federal
securities laws in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities;
except that all or substantially all of the assets of the fund may be
invested in another registered investment company having the same investment
objectives and policies as the fund.

(9) Purchase securities from or sell to the Trust's officers and trustees,
or any firm of which any officer or trustee is a member, as principal, or
retain securities of any issuer if, to the knowledge of the Trust, one or
more of the Trust's officers, trustees or investment adviser own beneficially
more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of such issuer and all such officers
and trustees together own beneficially more than 5% of such securities.

(10) Acquire, lease or hold real estate, provided that this limitation shall
not prohibit the purchase of municipal and other debt securities secured by
real estate or interests therein.

(11) Invest in commodities and commodity contracts, puts, calls, straddles,
spreads or any combination thereof, or interests in oil, gas or other mineral
exploration or development programs, except that it may purchase, hold and
dispose of "obligations with puts attached" or write covered call options in
accordance with its stated investment policies.

In addition to the above restrictions, the funds have the following
fundamental policies, which may only be changed with shareholder approval: i)
the U.S. Securities Fund may invest only in marketable securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, by various agencies of the U.S. government
and by various instrumentalities that have been established or sponsored by
the U.S. government, including U.S. Treasury bills, notes, bonds and
securities of the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and the
Federal Housing Administration, which are issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or which carry a guarantee supported by the full faith and credit
of the U.S. government; or in another open-end investment company (such as
the U.S. Securities Portfolio) that has a fundamental policy to invest in
these types of securities; ii) each fund will invest 100% of its assets in
securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less, or in another
open-end management investment company that has the same fundamental
investment policy; iii) the Money Fund will invest primarily in various types
of money market instruments, such as U.S. government and federal agency
obligations, certificates of deposit, banker's acceptances, time deposits of
major financial institutions, high grade commercial paper, high grade
short-term corporate obligations, taxable municipal securities and repurchase
agreements (secured by U.S. government securities) and may seek its
objectives by investing all or substantially all of its assets in an open-end
management investment company with the same investment objectives and
policies; iv) the Money Fund may not purchase the securities of any one
issuer (other than obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, immediately thereafter, more than 5% of the value of
its total assets would be invested in the securities of any one issuer with
respect to 75% of the Money Fund's total assets (pursuant to an operating
policy on diversification adopted by the Board and the Board of Trustees of
Money Market to comply with requirements under SEC Rule 2a-7, the 5%
limitation applies to the Portfolio's total assets and is more restrictive
than the fund's fundamental policy), or more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of any one issuer would be owned by the Money Fund, except
that this policy does not apply to the extent all or substantially all of the
assets of the Money Fund may be invested in another registered investment
company having the same investment objectives and policies as the Money Fund;
and v) the Money Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the
securities of companies (including predecessors) that have been in continuous
operation for less than three years, nor invest more than 25% of its total
assets in any particular industry, except that this policy is inapplicable to
the extent all or substantially all of the assets of the Money Fund may be
invested in another registered investment company having the same investment
objectives and policies as the Money Fund.

In addition to these fundamental policies, it is the present policy of the
funds, which may be changed without shareholder approval, not to invest in
real estate limited partnerships (investments in marketable securities issued
by real estate investment trusts are not subject to this restriction) or in
interests (other than publicly traded equity securities) in oil, gas, or
other mineral leases, exploration or development program.

To continue its money market status in Texas, the Money Fund and its
respective Portfolio will comply with Section 123.3 of the Texas
Administrative Code (as stated in Conditions 1-7 listed in Form 133.26,
entitled "Request for Determination as a Money Market Fund," with the
understanding that Condition 4 excludes expenses of the Money Fund's transfer
agent associated with shareholder recordkeeping and reporting).

If a percentage restriction is met at the time of investment, a later
increase or decrease in the percentage due to a change in the value or
liquidity of portfolio securities or the amount of assets will not be
considered a violation of any of the foregoing restrictions.

Money Market's trustees have elected to value the Portfolio's assets in
accordance with SEC Rule 2a-7. This rule also imposes various restrictions on
the Portfolio which are, in some cases, more restrictive than the Portfolio's
other stated fundamental policies and investment restrictions. The Portfolio
must comply with these provisions unless its shareholders vote to change its
policy of being a money market fund.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND ADMINISTRATOR AND SERVICES PROVIDED. Advisers is the
investment manager of each Portfolio and is also the administrator of each
fund. Advisers provides investment research and portfolio management
services, including the selection of securities for each Portfolio to buy,
hold or sell and the selection of brokers through whom each Portfolio's
portfolio transactions are executed. Advisers' activities are subject to the
review and supervision of the Board of Trustees of Money Market to whom
Advisers renders periodic reports of each Portfolio's investment activities.
Advisers and its officers, directors and employees are covered by fidelity
insurance for the protection of each fund and each Portfolio.

Advisers and its affiliates act as investment manager to numerous other
investment companies and accounts. Advisers may give advice and take action
with respect to any of the other funds it manages, or for its own account,
that may differ from action taken by Advisers on behalf of each Portfolio.
Similarly, with respect to each Portfolio, Advisers is not obligated to
recommend, buy or sell, or to refrain from recommending, buying or selling
any security that Advisers and access persons, as defined by the 1940 Act,
may buy or sell for its or their own account or for the accounts of any other
fund. Advisers is not obligated to refrain from investing in securities held
by a Portfolio or other funds that it manages. Of course, any transactions
for the accounts of Advisers and other access persons will be made in
compliance with the Portfolio's Code of Ethics. Please see "Miscellaneous
Information - Summary of Code of Ethics."

MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION FEES. Under the management agreement, each
Portfolio pays Advisers a management fee equal to an annual rate of 0.15 of
1% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The fee is computed at the
close of business each day.

Advisers provides various administrative, statistical, and other services to
the funds. Under the administration agreements, each fund pays Advisers an
administration fee equal to an annual rate of 0.20 of 1% of the value of the
fund's average daily net assets. The fee is computed at the close of business
on the last business day of each month.

For the periods shown, Advisers had agreed in advance to waive all or a
portion of its management and administration fees. The table below shows the
management and administration before any advance waiver and the management
and administration fees paid by each fund for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1998, 1997 and 1996.

</TABLE>

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. The management agreement for each Portfolio is in
effect until February 28, 1999. It may continue in effect for successive
annual periods if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually
by a vote of the Board of Trustees of Money Market or by a vote of the
holders of a majority of the Portfolio's outstanding voting securities, and
in either event by a majority vote of the trustees of Money Market who are
not parties to the management agreement or interested persons of any such
party (other than as members of the Board of Trustees of Money Market), cast
in person at a meeting called for that purpose. The management agreement may
be terminated without penalty at any time by the Board of Trustees of Money
Market or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the Portfolio's
outstanding voting securities on 30 days' written notice to Advisers, or by
Advisers on 60 days' written notice to the Portfolio, and will automatically
terminate in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT. Investor Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Resources, is the funds' shareholder servicing agent and acts as the funds'
transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. Investor Services is compensated on
the basis of a fixed fee per account. Each fund may also reimburse Investor
Services for certain out-of-pocket expenses, which may include payments by
Investor Services to entities, including affiliated entities, that provide
sub-shareholder services, recordkeeping and/or transfer agency services to
beneficial owners of the fund. The amount of reimbursements for these
services per benefit plan participant fund account per year may not exceed
the per account fee payable by the fund to Investor Services in connection
with maintaining shareholder accounts.

CUSTODIAN. Investor Services, in its capacity as the transfer agent for each
Portfolio, effectively acts as each fund's custodian and holds the fund's
shares of the corresponding Portfolio on its books. Bank of New York, Mutual
Funds Division, 90 Washington Street, New York, New York 10286, acts as
custodian of each fund's cash, pending investment in shares of the Portfolio.
Bank of New York also acts as custodian of the securities and other assets of
each Portfolio. The custodian does not participate in decisions relating to
the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.

AUDITOR. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 333 Market Street, San Francisco,
California 94105, is the fund's independent auditor. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, the auditor's services consisted of rendering an opinion
on the financial statements of the Trust included in the Trust's Annual
Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.

HOW DOES EACH PORTFOLIO BUY SECURITIES FOR ITS PORTFOLIO?

The funds will not incur any brokerage or other costs in connection with
their purchase or redemption of shares of the Portfolio.

Since most purchases by each Portfolio are principal transactions at net
prices, the Portfolio incurs little or no brokerage costs. The Portfolio
deals directly with the selling or buying principal or market maker without
incurring charges for the services of a broker on their behalf, unless it is
determined that a better price or execution may be obtained by using the
services of a broker. Purchases of portfolio securities from underwriters
will include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the
underwriter, and purchases from dealers will include a spread between the bid
and ask prices. The Portfolio seeks to obtain prompt execution of orders at
the most favorable net price. Transactions may be directed to dealers in
return for research and statistical information, as well as for special
services provided by the dealers in the execution of orders.

It is not possible to place a dollar value on the special executions or on
the research services Advisers receives from dealers effecting transactions
in portfolio securities. The allocation of transactions in order to obtain
additional research services permits Advisers to supplement its own research
and analysis activities and to receive the views and information of
individuals and research staffs of other securities firms. As long as it is
lawful and appropriate to do so, Advisers and its affiliates may use this
research and data in their investment advisory capacities with other clients.
If the funds' officers are satisfied that the best execution is obtained, the
sale of fund shares, as well as shares of other funds in the Franklin
Templeton Group of Funds, may also be considered a factor in the selection of
broker-dealers to execute the Portfolio's transactions.

If purchases or sales of securities of a Portfolio and one or more other
investment companies or clients supervised by Advisers are considered at or
about the same time, transactions in these securities will be allocated among
the several investment companies and clients in a manner deemed equitable to
all by Advisers, taking into account the respective sizes of the funds and
the amount of securities to be purchased or sold. In some cases this
procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price or volume of the
security so far as the Portfolio is concerned. In other cases it is possible
that the ability to participate in volume transactions may improve execution
and reduce transaction costs to the Portfolio.

Depending on Advisers' view of market conditions, a Portfolio may or may not
buy securities with the expectation of holding them to maturity, although its
general policy is to hold securities to maturity. A Portfolio may, however,
sell securities before maturity to meet redemptions or as a result of a
revised management evaluation of the issuer.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Portfolio
paid no brokerage commissions.

As of June 30, 1998, The Money Market Portfolio owned securities issued by
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. valued in the aggregate at $80 million, J.P.
Morgan & Co. valued in the aggregate at $49 million, and Swiss Bank Corp.,
valued in the aggregate at $25 million. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co, J.P.
Morgan & Co. and Swiss Bank Corp. are regular broker-dealers of the
Portfolio. Except as noted, neither the funds nor the corresponding Portfolio
owned securities issued by their regular broker-dealers as of the end of the
fiscal year.

HOW DO I BUY, SELL AND EXCHANGE SHARES?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON BUYING SHARES

The funds continuously offer their shares through Securities Dealers who have
an agreement with Distributors. Banks and financial institutions that sell
shares of the funds may be required by state law to register as Securities
Dealers.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON EXCHANGING SHARES

If a substantial number of shareholders should, within a short period, sell
their shares of a fund under the exchange privilege, the fund might have to
sell portfolio securities it might otherwise hold and incur the additional
costs related to such transactions.

The proceeds from the sale of shares of an investment company are generally
not available until the seventh day following the sale. The funds you are
seeking to exchange into may delay issuing shares pursuant to an exchange
until that seventh day. The sale of fund shares to complete an exchange will
be effected at Net Asset Value at the close of business on the day the
request for exchange is received in proper form. Please see "May I Exchange
Shares for Shares of Another Fund?" in the Prospectus.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SELLING SHARES

REDEMPTIONS IN KIND. Each fund has committed itself to pay in cash (by check)
all requests for redemption by any shareholder of record, limited in amount,
however, during any 90-day period to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the
value of the fund's net assets at the beginning of the 90-day period. This
commitment is irrevocable without the prior approval of the SEC. In the case
of redemption requests in excess of these amounts, the Board reserves the
right to make payments in whole or in part in securities or other assets of
the fund, in case of an emergency, or if the payment of such a redemption in
cash would be detrimental to the existing shareholders of the fund. In these
circumstances, the securities distributed would be valued at the price used
to compute the fund's net assets and you may incur brokerage fees in
converting the securities to cash.

GENERAL INFORMATION

If dividend checks are returned to the funds marked "unable to forward" by
the postal service, we will consider this a request by you to change your
dividend option to reinvest all distributions. The proceeds will be
reinvested in additional shares at Net Asset Value until we receive new
instructions.

Distribution or redemption checks sent to you do not earn interest or any
other income during the time the checks remain uncashed. Neither the funds
nor their affiliates will be liable for any loss caused by your failure to
cash such checks. The funds are not responsible for tracking down uncashed
checks, unless a check is returned as undeliverable.

In most cases, if mail is returned as undeliverable we are required to take
certain steps to try to find you free of charge. If these attempts are
unsuccessful, however, we may deduct the costs of any additional efforts to
find you from your account. These costs may include a percentage of the
account when a search company charges a percentage fee in exchange for its
location services.

All checks, drafts, wires and other payment mediums used to buy or sell
shares of a fund must be denominated in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank,
and are accepted subject to collection at full face value. Checks drawn in
U.S. funds on foreign banks will not be credited to your account and
dividends will not begin accruing until the proceeds are collected, which may
take a long period of time. We may, in our sole discretion, either (a) reject
any order to buy or sell shares denominated in any other currency or (b)
honor the transaction or make adjustments to your account for the transaction
as of a date and with a foreign currency exchange factor determined by the
drawee bank.

SPECIAL SERVICES. You may utilize Franklin's IFT Hypothetical Illustrations
Service as a useful tool in considering investments. The service, which is
free of charge, enables you to make an actual, dollar-for-dollar performance
comparison of any of the Trust's series to any security, pool or portfolio
which you may currently be using. It is based on historical information, and
covers any time period you may wish to use after February 4, 1988 (the
beginning of dividend payments for two series of the Trust). You would simply
choose a series of the Trust to compare and provide us with a starting date,
a starting amount, and all subsequent purchases or withdrawals. The
illustration shows the actual dollar performance of these actions in the
selected series, which you can use to compare to that of your own investment
or portfolio.

Investor Services may pay certain financial institutions that maintain
omnibus accounts with the funds on behalf of numerous beneficial owners for
recordkeeping operations performed with respect to such owners. For each
beneficial owner in the omnibus account, a fund may reimburse Investor
Services an amount not to exceed the per account fee that the fund normally
pays Investor Services. These financial institutions may also charge a fee
for their services directly to their clients.

Investor Services may charge you separate fees, negotiated directly with you,
for providing special services in connection with your account, such as
subaccounting, processing a large number of wires each month or other special
handling that you may request. Fees for special services will not increase
the expenses borne by the fund.

Special procedures have been designed for banks and other institutions
wishing to open multiple accounts. An institution may open a single master
account by filing one application form with the fund, signed by personnel
authorized to act for the institution. Individual sub-accounts may be opened
at the time the master account is filed by listing them, or instructions may
be provided to the fund at a later date. These sub-accounts may be
established by the institution with registration either by name or number.
The investment minimums applicable to the fund are applicable to each
sub-account. The fund will provide each institution with a written
confirmation for each transaction in a sub-account and arrangements may be
made at no additional charge for the transmittal of duplicate confirmations
to the beneficial owner of the sub-account.

The fund will provide to each institution, on a quarterly basis or more
frequently if requested, a statement setting forth each sub-account's share
balance, income earned for the period, income earned for the year to date,
and total current market value.

HOW ARE FUND SHARES VALUED?

The valuation of each Portfolio's securities, including any securities held
in a separate account maintained for when-issued securities, is based on the
amortized cost of the securities, which does not take into account unrealized
capital gains or losses. This method involves valuing an instrument at its
cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any
discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates
on the market value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty
in calculation, it may result in periods during which value, as determined by
amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price the Portfolio would receive
if it sold the instrument. During periods of declining interest rates, the
daily yield on shares of the Portfolio computed as described above may tend
to be higher than a like computation made by a fund with identical
investments but utilizing a method of valuation based upon market prices and
estimates of market prices for all of its portfolio instruments. Thus, if the
use of amortized cost by the Portfolio resulted in a lower aggregate
portfolio value on a particular day, a prospective investor in the Portfolio
would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result from an
investment in a fund utilizing only market values, and existing investors in
the Portfolio would receive less investment income. The opposite would be
true in a period of rising interest rates.

A Portfolio's use of amortized cost, which helps the Portfolio maintain its
Net Asset Value per share of $1, is permitted by a rule adopted by the SEC.
Under this rule, the Portfolio must adhere to certain conditions. Each
Portfolio must maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90
days or less and only buy instruments having remaining maturities of 397
calendar days or less. Each Portfolio must also invest only in those U.S.
dollar-denominated securities that the Board of Trustees of Money Market
determines present minimal credit risks and that are rated in one of the two
highest short-term rating categories by nationally recognized rating
services, or if unrated are deemed comparable in quality, or are instruments
issued by an issuer that, with respect to an outstanding issue of short-term
debt that is comparable in priority and protection, has received a rating
within the two highest rating categories. Securities subject to floating or
variable interest rates with demand features that comply with applicable SEC
rules may have stated maturities in excess of one year.

The Board of Trustees of Money Market has established procedures designed to
stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible, each Portfolio's price per
share at $1, as computed for the purpose of sales and redemptions. These
procedures include a review of the Portfolio's holdings by the Board of
Trustees of Money Market, at such intervals as it may deem appropriate, to
determine if the Portfolio's Net Asset Value calculated by using available
market quotations deviates from $1 per share based on amortized cost. The
extent of any deviation will be examined by the Board of Trustees of Money
Market. If a deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the trustees will promptly consider
what action, if any, will be initiated. If the Board of Trustees of Money
Market determines that a deviation exists that may result in material
dilution or other unfair results to investors or existing shareholders, it
will take corrective action that it regards as necessary and appropriate,
which may include selling portfolio instruments before maturity to realize
capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity, withholding
dividends, redeeming shares in kind, or establishing a Net Asset Value per
share by using available market quotations.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DISTRIBUTIONS

DISTRIBUTIONS OF NET INVESTMENT INCOME. A fund declares dividends for each
day that its Net Asset Value is calculated. These dividends will equal all
of the fund's daily net income payable to shareholders of record as of the
close of business the preceding day. A fund's daily net income includes its
pro rata share of the corresponding Portfolio's net income, less the
estimated expenses of the fund. The corresponding Portfolio's income
consists of accrued interest and any original issue or acquisition discount,
plus or minus any gain or loss on the sale of securities held by the
corresponding Portfolio and changes in unrealized appreciation or
depreciation in securities held by the corresponding Portfolio (to the extent
required to maintain a constant net amount value), less the estimated
expenses of the corresponding Portfolio.

A fund earns income and gains on its investment in the corresponding
Portfolio. A Portfolio, in turn, earns income generally in the form of
interest, original issue, market and acquisition discount, and other income
derived from its investments. This income less expenses incurred in the
operation of a Portfolio, is paid to the corresponding fund as ordinary
dividend income. The ordinary dividend income received from a Portfolio,
less expenses incurred in the operation of the corresponding fund, constitute
a fund's net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. Any
distributions by a fund from such income will be taxable to you as ordinary
income, whether you take them in cash or in additional shares.

DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS. A fund may receive capital gain
distributions from the corresponding Portfolio, consisting of the excess of
any net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss realized by
the corresponding Portfolio on the sale or disposition of its underlying
portfolio securities. A fund may also derive capital gains and losses in
connection with the sale of corresponding Portfolio shares. Distributions
derived from the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term
capital loss will be taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions
derived from the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss, including capital gain distributions received from a Portfolio,
will be taxable to you as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you
have held your shares in the fund. Any net short-term or long-term capital
gains realized by a fund (net of any capital loss carryovers) generally will
be distributed once each year, and may be distributed more frequently, if
necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on
such fund. Because each fund and its corresponding Portfolio is a money
market fund, it does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains,
however.

CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS PAID IN JANUARY. Distributions which are declared in
October, November or December and paid to you in January of the following
year will be treated for tax purposes as if they had been received by you on
December 31 of the year in which they were declared. A fund will report this
income to you on your Form 1099-DIV for the year in which these distributions
were declared.

MAINTENANCE OF $1.00 NET ASSET VALUE. Gains and losses on the sale of
corresponding Portfolio shares and unrealized appreciation or depreciation in
the value of these shares may require a fund to distribute income or make
distribution adjustments in order to maintain a $1.00 Net Asset Value. These
procedures may result in under- or over-distributions of net investment
income.

INFORMATION ON THE TAX CHARACTER OF DISTRIBUTIONS. A fund will inform you of
the amount and character of your distributions at the time they are paid, and
will advise you of the tax status for federal income tax purposes of such
distributions shortly after the close of each calendar year.

TAXES

ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REGULATED INVESTMENT COMPANY. Each fund has
elected to be treated as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of
the Code, has qualified as such for its most recent fiscal year, and intends
so to qualify during the current fiscal year. The Board reserves the right
not to maintain the qualification of a fund as a regulated investment company
if it determines such course of action to be beneficial to its shareholders.
In such case, a fund will be subject to federal, and possibly state,
corporate taxes on its taxable income and gains, and distributions to you
will be taxed as ordinary dividend income to the extent of the fund's
available earnings and profits.

In order to qualify as a regulated investment company for tax purposes, a
fund must meet certain specific requirements, including:

o A fund must maintain a diversified portfolio of securities, wherein no
security (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other
regulated investment companies) can exceed 25% of the fund's total assets,
and, with respect to 50% of the fund's total assets, no investment (other
than cash and cash items, U.S. government securities and securities of
other regulated investment companies) can exceed 5% of the fund's total
assets or 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer;

o A fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends,
interest, payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the
sale or disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other
income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock,
securities, or currencies; and A fund must distribute to its shareholders
at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (i.e., net
investment income plus net short-term capital gains) and net tax-exempt
income for each of its fiscal years.

EXCISE TAX DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS. The Code requires each fund to
distribute at least 98% of its taxable ordinary income earned during the
calendar year and 98% of its capital gain net income earned during the twelve
month period ending October 31 (in addition to undistributed amounts from the
prior year) to you by December 31 of each year in order to avoid federal
excise taxes. Each fund intends to declare and pay sufficient dividends in
December (or in January of the following year that are treated by you as
received in December of the prior year) but does not guarantee and can give
no assurances that its distributions will be sufficient to eliminate all such
taxes.

REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES. Redemptions and exchanges of a fund's shares are
taxable transactions for federal and state income tax purposes. The tax law
requires that you recognize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the
difference between your tax basis and the amount you received in exchange for
your shares, subject to the rules described below. If you hold your shares
as a capital asset, the gain or loss that you realize will be capital gain or
loss, and will be long-term for federal income tax purposes if you have held
your shares for more than one year at the time of redemption or exchange.
Any loss incurred on the redemption or exchange of shares held for six months
or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any
long-term capital gains distributed to you by a fund on those shares.

All or a portion of any loss that you realize upon the redemption of your
fund shares will be disallowed to the extent that you purchase other shares
in the fund (through reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within 30 days
before or after your share redemption. Any loss disallowed under these rules
will be added to your tax basis in the new shares you purchase. Because each
fund seeks to maintain a constant $1.00 per share Net Asset Value, you should
not expect to realize a gain or loss upon redemption of your fund shares,
however.

U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS. Many states grant tax-free status to dividends
paid to shareholders from interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S.
government, subject in some states to minimum investment requirements that
must be met by a fund. Investments in GNMA/FNMA securities, bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper and repurchase agreements collateralized by
U.S. Government securities do not generally qualify for tax-free treatment.
It is anticipated, however, that no portion of a fund's distributions will
qualify for exemption from state and local income tax as dividends paid from
interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S. Government. At the end of
each calendar year, a fund will provide you with the percentage of any
dividends paid that may qualify for tax-free treatment on your personal
income tax return. You should consult with your own tax advisor to determine
the application of your state and local laws to these distributions. Because
the rules on exclusion of this income are different for corporations,
corporate shareholders should consult with their corporate tax advisors about
whether any of their distributions may be exempt from corporate income or
franchise taxes.

MUNICIPAL INVESTORS. Municipalities may invest surplus money subject to the
arbitrage rebate requirements of section 148 of the Code in a fund. Section
115(1) of the Code provides, in part, that gross income does not include
income accruing to a state, territory, or any political subdivision thereof
that is derived from the exercise of any essential government function. To
the extent that an investment by a municipality in a fund is made in
connection with such functions, the municipality will not be liable for
federal income tax on income or gains derived from its investment. A
municipality that invests money subject to the arbitrage rebate requirements
in a fund should be aware that some or all of the earnings distributed by the
fund may need to be paid to the U.S. as a rebate of arbitrage profits.

DIVIDENDS-RECEIVED DEDUCTION FOR CORPORATIONS. Because a fund's income is
derived primarily from interest rather than dividends, no portion of its
distributions will generally be eligible for the intercorporate
dividends-received deduction. None of the dividends paid by a fund for the
most recent fiscal year qualified for such deduction, and it is anticipated
that none of the current year's dividends will so qualify.

THE FUNDS' UNDERWRITER

Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, Distributors acts as principal
underwriter in a continuous public offering of each fund's shares. The
underwriting agreement will continue in effect for successive annual periods
if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of
the Board or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the fund's outstanding
voting securities, and in either event by a majority vote of the Board
members who are not parties to the underwriting agreement or interested
persons of any such party (other than as members of the Board), cast in
person at a meeting called for that purpose. The underwriting agreement
terminates automatically in the event of its assignment and may be terminated
by either party on 90 days' written notice.

Distributors may be entitled to reimbursement under the Rule 12b-1 plans for
the funds, as discussed below. Except as noted, Distributors received no
other compensation from the funds for acting as underwriter.

THE RULE 12B-1 PLANS

Each fund has a distribution plan or "Rule 12b-1 plan" that was adopted
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act.

Under the plans, each fund may pay up to a maximum of 0.15% per year of its
average daily net assets, payable quarterly, for expenses incurred in the
promotion and distribution of its shares.

In addition to the payments that Distributors or others are entitled to under
each plan, each plan also provides that to the extent the fund, Advisers or
Distributors or other parties on behalf of the fund, Advisers or Distributors
make payments that are deemed to be for the financing of any activity
primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares within the context of
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, then such payments shall be deemed to have
been made pursuant to the plan.

In no event shall the aggregate asset-based sales charges, which include
payments made under each plan, plus any other payments deemed to be made
pursuant to the plan, exceed the amount permitted to be paid under the rules
of the NASD.

The terms and provisions of the plans relating to required reports, term and
approval are consistent with Rule 12b-1. The plans do not permit unreimbursed
expenses incurred in a particular year to be carried over to or reimbursed in
later years.

To the extent fees are for distribution or marketing functions, as
distinguished from administrative servicing or agency transactions, certain
banks will not be entitled to participate in the plans as a result of
applicable federal law prohibiting certain banks from engaging in the
distribution of mutual fund shares. These banking institutions, however, are
permitted to receive fees under the plans for administrative servicing or for
agency transactions. If you are a customer of a bank that is prohibited from
providing these services, you would be permitted to remain a shareholder of
the fund, and alternate means for continuing the servicing would be sought.
In this event, changes in the services provided might occur and you might no
longer be able to avail yourself of any automatic investment or other
services then being provided by the bank. It is not expected that you would
suffer any adverse financial consequences as a result of any of these changes.

Each plan has been approved in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1.
The plans are renewable annually by a vote of the Board, including a majority
vote of the Board members who are not interested persons of the fund and who
have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the plans,
cast in person at a meeting called for that purpose. It is also required that
the selection and nomination of such Board members be done by the
non-interested members of the Board. The plans and any related agreement may
be terminated at any time, without penalty, by vote of a majority of the
non-interested Board members on not more than 60 days' written notice, by
Distributors on not more than 60 days' written notice, by any act that
constitutes an assignment of the administration or management agreement with
Advisers, or the underwriting agreement with Distributors, or by vote of a
majority of each fund's outstanding shares. Distributors or any dealer or
other firm may also terminate their respective distribution or service
agreement at any time upon written notice.

The plans and any related agreements may not be amended to increase
materially the amount to be spent for distribution expenses without approval
by a majority of the outstanding shares of the fund, and all material
amendments to the plans or any related agreements shall be approved by a vote
of the non-interested members of the Board, cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on any such amendment.

Distributors is required to report in writing to the Board at least quarterly
on the amounts and purpose of any payment made under the plans and any
related agreements, as well as to furnish the Board with such other
information as may reasonably be requested in order to enable the Board to
make an informed determination of whether the plans should be continued.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the funds did not incur any expenses
pursuant to the plans.

HOW DO THE FUNDS MEASURE PERFORMANCE?

Performance quotations are subject to SEC rules. These rules require the use
of standardized performance quotations or, alternatively, that every
non-standardized performance quotation furnished by a fund be accompanied by
certain standardized performance information computed as required by the SEC.
Current yield and effective yield quotations used by the funds are based on
the standardized methods of computing performance mandated by the SEC. An
explanation of these and other methods used by the fund to compute or express
performance follows. Regardless of the method used, past performance does not
guarantee future results.

YIELD

CURRENT YIELD. Current yield shows the income per share earned by the fund.
It is calculated by determining the net change, excluding capital changes, in
the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one
share at the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge
reflecting deductions from shareholder accounts, and dividing the difference
by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the
base period return. The result is then annualized by multiplying the base
period return by (365/7). The current yield for the seven day period ended
June 30, 1998, was 5.41% for the Money Fund and 5.39% for the U.S. Securities
Fund.

EFFECTIVE YIELD. Each fund's effective yield is calculated in the same manner
as its current yield, except the annualization of the return for the seven
day period reflects the results of compounding. The effective yield for the
seven day period ended June 30, 1998, was 5.55% for the Money Fund and 5.54%
for the U.S. Securities Fund.

This figure was obtained using the following SEC formula:

365/7
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1) ] - 1

OTHER PERFORMANCE QUOTATIONS

The fund may include in its advertising or sales material information
relating to investment goals and performance results of funds belonging to
the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds. Resources is the parent company of the
advisors and underwriter of the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds.

COMPARISONS

To help you better evaluate how an investment in a fund may satisfy your
investment goal, advertisements and other materials about the funds may
discuss certain measures of fund performance as reported by various financial
publications. Materials may also compare performance (as calculated above) to
performance as reported by other investments, indices, and averages. These
comparisons may include, but are not limited to, the following examples:

a) IBC Money Fund Report(R) - industry averages for seven-day annualized and
compounded yields of taxable, tax-free, and government money funds.

b) Bank Rate Monitor - a weekly publication that reports various bank
investments such as CD rates, average savings account rates and average loan
rates.

e) Consumer Price Index (or Cost of Living Index), published by the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics - a statistical measure of change, over time, in
the price of goods and services in major expenditure groups.

f) Stocks, Bonds, Bills, and Inflation published by Ibbotson Associates - a
historical measure of yield, price, and total return for common and small
company stock, long term government bonds, Treasury bills and inflation.

g) Financial publications: The WALL STREET JOURNAL, BUSINESS WEEK, CHANGING
TIMES, FINANCIAL WORLD AND FORBES, FORTUNE, and MONEY magazines - provide
performance statistics over specified time periods.

Advertisements or information may also compare a fund's performance to the
return on CDs or other investments. You should be aware, however, that an
investment in a fund involves the risk of fluctuation of principal value, a
risk generally not present in an investment in a CD issued by a bank. CDs are
frequently insured by an agency of the U.S. government. An investment in a
fund is not insured by any federal, state or private entity.

In assessing comparisons of performance, you should keep in mind that the
composition of the investments in the reported indices and averages is not
identical to the funds' portfolios, the indices and averages are generally
unmanaged, and the items included in the calculations of the averages may not
be identical to the formula used by the funds to calculate their figures. In
addition, there can be no assurance that the funds will continue their
performance as compared to these other averages.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

A fund may help you achieve various investment goals such as accumulating
money for retirement, saving for a down payment on a home, college costs and
other long-term goals. The Franklin College Costs Planner may help you in
determining how much money must be invested on a monthly basis in order to
have a projected amount available in the future to fund a child's college
education. (Projected college cost estimates are based upon current costs
published by the College Board.) The Franklin Retirement Planning Guide leads
you through the steps to start a retirement savings program. Of course, an
investment in a fund cannot guarantee that these goals will be met.

Each fund is a member of the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds, one of the
largest mutual fund organizations in the U.S., and may be considered in a
program for diversification of assets. Founded in 1947, Franklin, one of the
oldest mutual fund organizations, has managed mutual funds for over 50 years
and now services more than 3 million shareholder accounts. In 1992, Franklin,
a leader in managing fixed-income mutual funds and an innovator in creating
domestic equity funds, joined forces with Templeton, a pioneer in
international investing. The Mutual Series team, known for its value-driven
approach to domestic equity investing, became part of the organization four
years later. Together, the Franklin Templeton Group has over $236 billion in
assets under management for more than 6 million U.S. based mutual fund
shareholder and other accounts. The Franklin Templeton Group of Funds offers
119 U.S. based open-end investment companies to the public. Each fund may
identify itself by its NASDAQ symbol or CUSIP number.

As of August 4, 1998, the principal shareholders of each fund, beneficial or

From time to time, the number of fund shares held in the "street name"
accounts of various Securities Dealers for the benefit of their clients or in
centralized securities depositories may exceed 5% of the total shares
outstanding.

As a shareholder of a Massachusetts business trust, you could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable as a partner for its obligations.
The funds' Agreement and Declaration of Trust, however, contains an express
disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of a fund. The
Declaration of Trust also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of
expenses out of a fund's assets if you are held personally liable for
obligations of the fund. The Declaration of Trust provides that a fund shall,
upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against you for any act or
obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. All such rights are
limited to the assets of the fund. The Declaration of Trust further provides
that a fund may maintain appropriate insurance (for example, fidelity bonding
and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of the fund, its
shareholders, trustees, officers, employees and agents to cover possible tort
and other liabilities. Furthermore, the activities of a fund as an investment
company, as distinguished from an operating company, would not likely give
rise to liabilities in excess of the fund's total assets. Thus, the risk of
you incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited
to the unlikely circumstances in which both inadequate insurance exists and
the fund itself is unable to meet its obligations.

In the event of disputes involving multiple claims of ownership or authority
to control your account, each fund has the right (but has no obligation) to:
(a) freeze the account and require the written agreement of all persons
deemed by the fund to have a potential property interest in the account,
before executing instructions regarding the account; (b) interplead disputed
funds or accounts with a court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) surrender
ownership of all or a portion of the account to the IRS in response to a
Notice of Levy.

Distributors and/or its affiliates provide financial support to various
Securities Dealers that sell shares of the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds.
This support is based primarily on the amount of sales of fund shares. The
amount of support may be affected by: total sales; net sales; levels of
redemptions; the proportion of a Securities Dealer's sales and marketing
efforts in the Franklin Templeton Group of Funds; a Securities Dealer's
support of, and participation in, Distributors' marketing programs; a
Securities Dealer's compensation programs for its registered representatives;
and the extent of a Securities Dealer's marketing programs relating to the
Franklin Templeton Group of Funds. Financial support to Securities Dealers
may be made by payments from Distributors' resources, from Distributors'
retention of underwriting concessions and, in the case of funds that have
Rule 12b-1 plans, from payments to Distributors under such plans. In
addition, certain Securities Dealers may receive brokerage commissions
generated by fund portfolio transactions in accordance with the NASD's rules.

SUMMARY OF CODE OF ETHICS. Employees of the Franklin Templeton Group who are
access persons under the 1940 Act are permitted to engage in personal
securities transactions subject to the following general restrictions and
procedures: (i) the trade must receive advance clearance from a compliance
officer and must be completed by the close of the business day following the
day clearance is granted; (ii) copies of all brokerage confirmations and
statements must be sent to a compliance officer; (iii) all brokerage accounts
must be disclosed on an annual basis; and (iv) access persons involved in
preparing and making investment decisions must, in addition to (i), (ii) and
(iii) above, file annual reports of their securities holdings each January
and inform the compliance officer (or other designated personnel) if they own
a security that is being considered for a fund or other client transaction or
if they are recommending a security in which they have an ownership interest
for purchase or sale by a fund or other client.

APPENDICES

SUMMARY OF PROCEDURES TO
MONITOR CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Board of Trustees of Money Market, on behalf of its series ("master
funds"), and the Board of the funds ("feeder funds"), (both of which are
composed of the same individuals) recognize that there is the potential for
certain conflicts of interest to arise between the master fund and the feeder
fund in this format. These potential conflicts of interest could include,
among others: the creation of additional feeder funds with different fee
structures; the creation of additional feeder funds that could have
controlling voting interests in any pass-through voting which could affect
investment and other policies; a proposal to increase fees at the master fund
level; and any consideration of changes in fundamental policies at the master
fund level that may or may not be acceptable to a particular feeder fund.

In recognition of the potential for conflicts of interest to develop, the
Board of Trustees of Money Market and the Board of the funds have adopted
certain procedures under which i) management of the master fund and the
feeder fund will, on a yearly basis, report to each board, including the
independent members of each board, on the operation of the master/feeder fund
structure; ii) the independent members of each board will have ongoing
responsibility for reviewing all proposals at the master fund level to
determine whether any proposal presents a potential for a conflict of
interest and to the extent any other potential conflicts arise before the
normal annual review, they will act promptly to review the potential
conflict; iii) if the independent members of each board determine that a
situation or proposal presents a potential conflict, they will request a
written analysis from the master fund management describing whether the
apparent potential conflict of interest will impede the operation of the
constituent feeder fund and the interests of the feeder fund's shareholders;
and iv) upon receipt of the analysis, the independent members of each board
shall review the analysis and present their conclusion to the full boards.

If no actual conflict is deemed to exist, the independent board members will
recommend that no further action be taken. If the analysis is inconclusive,
they may submit the matter to and be guided by the opinion of independent
legal counsel issued in a written opinion. If a conflict is deemed to exist,
they may recommend one or more of the following actions: i) suggest a course
of action designed to eliminate the potential conflict of interest; ii) if
appropriate, request that the full boards submit the potential conflict to
shareholders for resolution; iii) recommend to the full boards that the
affected feeder fund no longer invest in its designated master fund and
propose either a search for a new master fund in which to invest the feeder
fund's assets or the hiring of an investment manager to manage the feeder
fund's assets in accordance with its investment goals and policies; iv)
recommend to the full boards that a new board be recommended to shareholders
for approval; or v) recommend such other action as may be considered
appropriate.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 53601.
SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR INVESTMENT;
TEXT OF SECTION EFFECTIVE ON JULY 7, 1988,
AMENDED IN 1992, 1995 AND 1996.

The legislative body of a local agency having money in a sinking fund of, or
surplus money in, its treasury not required for the immediate necessities of
the local agency may invest any portion of the money which it deems wise or
expedient in those investments set forth below. A local agency purchasing or
obtaining any securities prescribed in this section, in a negotiable, bearer,
registered, or nonregistered format, shall require delivery of the securities
to the local agency, including those purchased for the agency by financial
advisors, consultants, or managers using the agency's funds, by book entry,
physical delivery or by third party custodial agreement. The transfer of
securities to the counterparty bank's customer book entry account may be used
for book entry delivery. For purposes of this section "counterparty" means
the other party to the transaction. A counterparty bank's trust department or
separate safekeeping department may be used for the physical delivery of the
security if the security is held in the name of the local agency. Where this
section does not specify a limitation on the term or remaining maturity at
the time of the investment, no investment shall be made in any security,
other than a security underlying a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement
authorized by this section, that at the time of the investment has a term
remaining to maturity in excess of five years, unless the legislative body
has granted express authority to make that investment either specifically or
as a part of an investment program approved by the legislative body no less
than three months prior to the investment:

(a) Bonds issued by the local agency, including bonds payable solely out of
the revenues from a revenue-producing property owned, controlled, or operated
by the local agency or by a department, board, agency, or authority of the
local agency.

(b) United States Treasury notes, bonds, bills, or certificates of
indebtedness, or those for which the faith and credit of the United States
are pledged for the payment of principal and interest.

including bonds payable solely out of the revenues from a revenue-producing
property owned, controlled, or operated by the state or by a department,
board, agency, or authority of the state.

(d) Bonds, notes, warrants, or other evidences of indebtedness of any local
agency within this state, including bonds payable solely out of the revenues
from a revenue-producing property owned, controlled or operated by the local
agency, or by a department, board, agency, or authority of the local agency.

(e) Obligations issued by banks for cooperatives, federal land banks, federal
intermediate credit banks, federal home loan banks, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, the Tennessee Valley Authority, or in obligations,
participations, or other instruments of, or issued by, or fully guaranteed as
to principal and interest by, the Federal National Mortgage Association; or
in guaranteed portions of Small Business Administration notes; or in
obligations, participations, or other instruments of, or issued by, a federal
agency or a United States government-sponsored enterprise.

(f) Bills of exchange or time drafts drawn on and accepted by a commercial
bank, otherwise known as banker's acceptances. Purchases of banker's
acceptances may not exceed 270 days maturity or 40 percent of the agency's
surplus money that may be invested pursuant to this section. However, no more
than 30 percent of the agency's surplus funds may be invested in the banker's
acceptances of any one commercial bank pursuant to this section.

This subdivision does not preclude a municipal utility district from
investing any surplus money in its treasury in any manner authorized by the
Municipal Utility District Act, (Division 6 (commencing with Section 11501)
of the Public Utilities Code).

(g) Commercial paper of "prime" quality of the highest ranking or of the
highest letter and numerical rating as provided for by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., or Standard and Poor's Corporation. Eligible paper is further
limited to issuing corporations that are organized and operating within the
United States and having total assets in excess of five hundred million
dollars ($500,000,000) and having an "A" or higher rating for the issuer's
debt, other than commercial paper, if any, as provided for by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporation. Purchases of
eligible commercial paper may not exceed 180 days maturity nor represent more
than 10 percent of the outstanding paper of an issuing corporation. Purchases
of commercial paper may not exceed 15 percent of the agency's surplus money
that may be invested pursuant to this section. An additional 15 percent, or a
total of 30 percent of the agency's surplus money, may be invested pursuant
to this subdivision. The additional 15 percent may be so invested only if the
dollar-weighted average maturity of the entire amount does not exceed 31
days. "Dollar-weighted average maturity" means the sum of the amount of each
outstanding commercial paper investment multiplied by the number of days to
maturity, divided by the total amount of outstanding commercial paper.

(h) Negotiable certificates of deposit issued by a nationally or
state-chartered bank or a state or federal association (as defined by Section

31, 1994, does not exceed 20 percent of the base value of the portfolio; and
the agreement does not exceed a term of 92 days, unless the agreement
includes a written codicil guaranteeing a minimum earning or spread for the
entire period between the sale of a security using a reverse repurchase

(4) After December 31, 1994, a reverse repurchase agreement may not be
entered into with securities not sold on a reverse repurchase agreement and

but may only be entered into with securities owned and previously paid for a
minimum of 30 days prior to the settlement of the reverse repurchase
agreement, in order to supplement the yield on securities owned and
previously paid for or to provide funds for the immediate payment of a local
agency obligation. Funds obtained or funds within the pool of an equivalent
amount to that obtained from selling a security to a counterparty by way of a

repurchase agreement, unless the reverse repurchase agreement includes a

DESCRIPTION OF RATINGS

CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

MOODY'S

AAA - Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt-edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or exceptionally
stable margin, and principal is secure. While the various protective elements
are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

AA - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be high quality by all standards. Together
with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection
may not be as large, fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater
amplitude, or there may be other elements present that make the long-term
risks appear somewhat larger.

A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
considered upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present
that suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

BAA - Bonds rated Baa are considered medium-grade obligations. They are
neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal
security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may
be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of
time. These bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and, in fact,
have speculative characteristics as well.

BA - Bonds rated Ba are judged to have predominantly speculative elements and
their future cannot be considered well assured. Often the protection of
interest and principal payments is very moderate and, thereby, not well
safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of
position characterizes bonds in this class.

NOTE: Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in each generic rating
classification in its corporate bond ratings. The modifier 1 indicates that
the security ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; modifier
2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and modifier 3 indicates that the issue
ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category.

S&P

AAA - This is the highest rating assigned by S&P to a debt obligation and
indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest.

AA - Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations. Capacity
to pay principal and interest is very strong and, in the majority of
instances, differ from AAA issues only in a small degree.

A - Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest,
although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes
in circumstances and economic conditions.

BBB - Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit protection parameters,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead
to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in this
category than for bonds in the A category.

PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-): The ratings from "AA" to "BBB" may be modified by the
addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS

MOODY'S

AAA: Municipal bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt-edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or exceptionally
stable margin, and principal is secure. While the various protective elements
are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

AA: Municipal bonds rated Aa are judged to be high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large, fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude, or there may be other elements present that make the
long-term risks appear somewhat larger.

A: Municipal bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and
are considered upper medium-grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present
that suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

BAA: Municipal bonds rated Baa are considered medium-grade obligations. They
are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present, but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any
great length of time. These bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics
and, in fact, have speculative characteristics as well.

S&P

AAA: Municipal bonds rated AAA are the highest-grade obligations. They
possess the ultimate degree of protection as to principal and interest. In
the market, they move with interest rates and, hence, provide the maximum
safety on all counts.

AA: Municipal bonds rated AA also qualify as high-grade obligations, and in
the majority of instances differ from AAA issues only in a small degree.
Here, too, prices move with the long-term money market.

A: Municipal bonds rated A are regarded as upper medium-grade. They have
considerable investment strength but are not entirely free from adverse
effects of changes in economic and trade conditions. Interest and principal
are regarded as safe. They predominantly reflect money rates in their market
behavior but also, to some extent, economic conditions.

BBB: Municipal bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to
pay principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds
in this category than for bonds in the A category.

PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-): The ratings from "AA" to "BBB" may be modified by the
addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

FITCH

AAA: Municipal bonds rated AAA are considered to be investment grade and of
the highest credit quality. The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability
to pay interest and repay principal that is unlikely to be affected by
reasonably foreseeable events.

AA: Municipal bonds rated AA are considered to be investment grade and of
very high credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay
principal is very strong although not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA and
not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments.

BBB: Municipal bonds rated BBB are considered to be investment grade and of
satisfactory credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay
principal is considered adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances, however, are more likely to have an adverse impact on these
bonds, and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings
of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with
higher ratings.

Plus (+) or minus (-) signs are used with a rating symbol to indicate the
relative position of a credit within the rating category. Plus or minus signs
are not used with the AAA category.

MUNICIPAL NOTE RATINGS

MOODY'S

Moody's ratings for state, municipal and other short-term obligations will be
designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG"). This distinction is in
recognition of the differences between short-term credit risk and long-term
risk. Factors affecting the liquidity of the borrower are uppermost in
importance in short-term borrowing; factors of the first importance in
long-term borrowing risk are of lesser importance in the short run. Symbols
used will be as follows:

MIG 1: Notes are of the best quality enjoying strong protection from
established cash flows of funds for their servicing or from established and
broad-based access to the market for refinancing, or both.

MIG 2: Notes are of high quality, with margins of protection ample, although
not so large as in the preceding group.

MIG 3: Notes are of favorable quality, with all security elements accounted
for, but lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Market
access for refinancing, in particular, is likely to be less well established.

MIG 4: Notes are of adequate quality, carrying specific risk but having
protection and not distinctly or predominantly speculative.

S&P

Until June 29, 1984, S&P used the same rating symbols for notes and bonds.
After June 29, 1984, for new municipal note issues due in three years or
less, the ratings below will usually be assigned. Notes maturing beyond three
years will most likely receive a bond rating of the type recited above.

SP-1: Issues carrying this designation have a very strong or strong capacity
to pay principal and interest. Issues determined to possess overwhelming
safety characteristics will be given a "plus" (+) designation.

SP-2: Issues carrying this designation have a satisfactory capacity to pay
principal and interest.

COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

MOODY'S

Moody's commercial paper ratings, which are also applicable to municipal
paper investments permitted to be made by the fund, are opinions of the
ability of issuers to repay punctually their promissory obligations not
having an original maturity in excess of nine months. Moody's employs the
following designations, all judged to be investment grade, to indicate the
relative repayment capacity of rated issuers:

P-1 (PRIME-1): Superior capacity for repayment.

P-2 (PRIME-2): Strong capacity for repayment.

S&P

A-1: This designation indicates the degree of safety regarding timely payment
is very strong. A "plus" (+) designation indicates an even stronger
likelihood of timely payment.

A-2: Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is strong.
The relative degree of safety, however, is not as overwhelming as for issues
designated A-1.

A-3: Issues carrying this designation have a satisfactory capacity for timely
payment. They are, however, somewhat more vulnerable to the adverse effects
of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.

FITCH

Fitch's short-term ratings apply to debt obligations that are payable on
demand or have original maturities of generally up to three years, including
commercial paper, CDs, medium-term notes, and municipal and investment notes.
The short-term rating places greater emphasis than a long-term rating on the
existence of liquidity necessary to meet the issuer's obligations in a timely
manner.

F-1+: Exceptionally strong credit quality. Regarded as having the strongest
degree of assurance for timely payment.

F-1: Very strong credit quality. Reflect an assurance of timely payment only
slightly less in degree than issues rated F-1+.

F-2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory degree of assurance for timely
payment, but the margin of safety is not as great as for issues assigned F-1+
and F-1 ratings.

LOC: The symbol LOC indicates that the rating is based on a letter of credit
issued by a commercial bank.

ITEM 27 INDEMNIFICATION

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
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 the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the 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, the 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.

Please see the Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, Management, Administration,
and Distribution Agreements, previously filed as exhibits and incorporated
herein by reference.

Notwithstanding the provisions contained in the Registrant's By-Laws, in
the absence of authorization by the appropriate court on the merits pursuant to
said By-Laws, any indemnification under said Article shall be made by Registrant
only if authorized in the manner provided in such By-Laws.

Institutional Fiduciary Trust
777 Mariners Island Blvd.
San Mateo, CA 94403-7777

Re: LEGAL OPINION-SECURITIES ACT OF 1933

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have examined the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, all as
amended (the "Declaration of Trust") of the Institutional Fiduciary Trust (the
"Trust"), a business trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts on January 15, 1985, the By-Laws of the Trust and the various
pertinent proceedings we deem material. We have also examined the Notification
of Registration and the Registration Statements filed under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") and the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act"), all as amended to date, as well as other items we
deem material to this opinion.

The Trust is authorized by its Declaration of Trust to issue an
unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without a par value. The Trust
issues shares of the Money Market Portfolio, the Franklin U.S. Government
Securities Money Market Portfolio, the Franklin U.S. Treasury Money Market
Portfolio, the Franklin Institutional Adjustable U.S. Government Securities
Fund, the Franklin Institutional Adjustable Rate Securities Fund, the Franklin
U.S. Government Agency Money Market Fund, and the Franklin Cash Reserves Fund.
The Declaration of Trust designates, or authorizes the Trustees to designate,
one or more series or classes of shares of the Trust, and allocates, or
authorizes the Trustees to allocate, shares of beneficial interest to each such
series or class. The Declaration of Trust also empowers the Trustees to
designate any additional series or classes and allocate shares to such series or
classes.

The Trust has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission"), a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, which
Registration Statement is deemed to register an indefinite number of shares of
the Trust pursuant to the provisions of Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company
Act. You have further advised us that the Trust has filed, and each year
hereafter will timely file, a Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 perfecting the
registration of the shares sold by the Trust during each fiscal year during
which such registration of an indefinite number of shares remains in effect.

You have also informed us that the shares of the Trust have been,
and will continue to be, sold in accordance with the Trust's usual method of
distributing its registered shares, under which prospectuses are made available
for delivery to offerees and purchasers of such shares in accordance with
Section 5(b) of the Securities Act.

Based upon the foregoing information and examination, so long as the
Trust remains a valid and subsisting trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and the registration of an indefinite number of shares of the
Trust remains effective, the authorized shares of the Trust when issued for the
consideration set by the Board of Trustees pursuant to the Declaration of Trust,
and subject to compliance with Rule 24f-2, will be legally outstanding,
fully-paid, and non-assessable shares, and the holders of such shares will have
all the rights provided for with respect to such holding by the Declaration of
Trust and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement of the Trust, and any amendments thereto, covering the
registration of the shares of the Trust under the Securities Act and the
applications, registration statements or notice filings, and amendments thereto,
filed in accordance with the securities laws of the several states in which
shares of the Trust are offered, and we further consent to reference in the
registration statement of the Trust to the fact that this opinion concerning the
legality of the issue has been rendered by us.

Very truly yours,

STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG, LLP
