ABOUT THE FUNDS
The Money Market Funds seek to provide income while protecting your original
investment by investing in MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS.
Money market instruments include short-term DEBT SECURITIES that are U.S.
government issued or guaranteed or have relatively low risk. Your original
investment and your return aren't guaranteed, however, and returns will vary as
short-term interest rates change. Over time, the return on money market funds
may be lower than the return on other kinds of mutual funds or investments.
ARE THESE FUNDS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Not every Fund is right for every investor. When you're choosing a Fund to
invest in, you should consider things like your investment goals, how much risk
you can accept and how long you're planning to hold your investment.
The Money Market Funds may be suitable for you if:
o you're looking for a relatively low risk investment with stability of
principal
o you have short-term income needs
They may not be suitable for you if:
o you're looking for higher returns
o you're more comfortable with bank deposits that are FDIC-insured
You'll find a discussion of each Fund's principal investments, strategies and
risks in the Fund descriptions that start on page 4.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
If you have any questions about the Funds, please call us at 1.800.626.2275.
You can also contact your investment professional.
You'll find more information about the Funds in the Statement of Additional
Information (SAI). The SAI includes more detailed information about each Fund's
investments, policies, performance and management, among other things. Please

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
This Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree
of liquidity while providing current income.
[GRAPHIC]
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
This Fund pursues its objective by generally investing in a diversified
portfolio of high quality MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS that, at the time of
investment, are considered to have remaining maturities of 397 days or
less.
THE FUND WILL ONLY BUY FIRST-TIER SECURITIES. These securities include
primarily:
o COMMERCIAL PAPER
o BANK OBLIGATIONS
o short-term DEBT SECURITIES, including instruments issued by certain trusts,
partnerships or other SPECIAL PURPOSE ISSUERS, like PASS-THROUGH
CERTIFICATES representing PARTICIPATIONS in, or instruments backed by, the
securities and other assets owned by these issuers
o short-term taxable MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
o REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS secured by first-tier securities or U.S. GOVERNMENT
OBLIGATIONS
The Fund may also invest in other money market funds, consistent with its
investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest more than 25% of its
assets in U.S. dollar denominated obligations of U.S. banks, foreign branches
of U.S. banks and U.S. branches of foreign banks, when the portfolio
management team believes market conditions warrant it.
Although not part of its principal investment strategies, the Fund may also
lend its portfolio securities to qualified institutional investors and may
engage in reverse repurchase agreements.
The portfolio management team tries to maintain a constant net asset value of
$1.00 per share for the Fund. The team uses extensive research, including
economic, technical and security analysis to select individual investments.
o Economic analysis includes evaluating national and global economic
conditions, as well as interest rate movements.
o Technical analysis includes identifying categories of money market
instruments that offer the highest yields and assessing the market for
potential investments.
o Security analysis includes evaluating the credit quality of an instrument.
Securities are normally held to maturity, but the team may sell a security
before it matures to meet cash flow needs, to manage the portfolio's maturity,
if the team determines that the security is no longer a suitable investment,
and for other reasons.

Other important information
You'll find specific information about each Fund's principal investments,
strategies and risks in the descriptions starting on page 4. The following are
some other risks and information you should consider before you invest:
o SPECIAL RULES FOR MONEY MARKET FUNDS - Money market funds must comply
with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act). Rule
2a-7 sets out certain limits on investments, which are designed to help
protect investors from risk of loss. These limits apply at the time an
investment is made. The Funds, like all money market funds:
o may only invest in securities with a remaining maturity of 397 days or
less, or that have maturities longer than 397 days but have demand,
interest rate reset features or guarantees that are 397 days or less
o must maintain an AVERAGE DOLLAR-WEIGHTED MATURITY of 90 days or less
o may normally invest no more than 5% of their assets in a single
security, other than U.S. government securities; however, they may
invest up to 25% of their assets in a FIRST-TIER SECURITY for up to
three business days
o may generally only invest in U.S. dollar denominated instruments that
are determined to have minimal credit risk and are first-tier
securities
o CHANGING INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES - The investment objective
and certain investment policies of any Fund cannot be changed without
shareholder approval.
o HOLDING OTHER KINDS OF INVESTMENTS - The Funds may hold investments that
aren't part of their principal investment strategies. Please refer to the
SAI for more information. The portfolio managers or management team can
also choose not to invest in specific securities described in this
prospectus and in the SAI.
o INVESTING DEFENSIVELY - A Fund may temporarily hold investments that are
not part of its investment objective or its principal investment
strategies to try to protect it during a market or economic downturn or
because of political or other conditions. A Fund may not achieve its
investment objective while it is investing defensively. Any cash a Fund
holds for defensive or other reasons does not earn income.

Buying, selling and exchanging shares
This prospectus offers Market Class Shares of the Funds. Here are some general
rules about this class of shares:
o Market Class Shares are available to financial institutions and
intermediaries for their own accounts, and for certain institutional client
accounts for which they may provide automated cash management or other
services. These include:
o Bank of America and certain of its affiliates
o certain other financial institutions and intermediaries
o The minimum initial investment is $250,000. Financial institutions or
intermediaries can total the investments they make on behalf of their
clients to meet the minimum initial investment amount.
o There is no minimum for additional investments.
o There are no sales charges for buying, selling or exchanging these shares.
You'll find more information about buying, selling and exchanging Market Class
Shares on the pages that follow. You should also ask your financial institution
or intermediary about its limits, fees and policies for buying, selling and
exchanging shares, which may be different from those described here, and about
its related services and programs.
The Funds also offer other classes of shares, with different features and
expense levels, which you may be eligible to buy. If you have questions about
buying, selling or exchanging, or you need help placing an order, please call
us at 1.800.626.2275. You can also contact your investment professional.
HOW SHARES ARE PRICED
All transactions are based on the price of a Fund's shares -- or its net asset
value per share. We calculate net asset value per share at the following times:
o 5:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day for each share class of Nations
Cash Reserves and Nations Treasury Reserves
First, we calculate the net asset value for each class of a Fund by determining
the value of the Fund's assets in the class and then subtracting its
liabilities. Next, we divide this amount by the number of shares that investors
are holding in the class.
Although we try to maintain a net asset value per share of $1.00 for the Funds,
we can't guarantee that we will be able to do so.
13
<PAGE>
VALUING SECURITIES IN A FUND
The value of a Fund's assets is based on the total market value of all of the
securities it holds. We use the amortized cost method, which approximates
market value, to value the assets in the Money Market Funds.
HOW ORDERS ARE PROCESSED
Orders to buy, sell or exchange shares are processed on business days. Orders
received by Stephens, PFPC or their agents by the following times on a business
day will receive that day's net asset value per share:
o 3:00 p.m. Eastern time for Nations Cash Reserves and Nations Treasury
Reserves
Investors are encouraged to place orders to sell as early in the day as
possible. Orders received after these times will receive the next business
day's net asset value per share. The business day that applies to an order is
also called the TRADE DATE. We may refuse any order to buy or exchange shares.
If this happens, we'll return any money we've received.
TELEPHONE ORDERS
You can place orders to buy, sell or exchange by telephone if you complete the
telephone authorization section of our account application and send it to us.
Here's how telephone orders work:
o If you sign up for telephone orders after you open your account, you must
have your signature guaranteed.
o Telephone orders may not be as secure as written orders. You may be
responsible for any loss resulting from a telephone order.
o We'll take reasonable steps to confirm that telephone instructions are
genuine. For example, we require proof of your identification before we
will act on instructions received by telephone and may record telephone

BUYING SHARES
Here are some general rules for buying shares:
o Investors buy Market Class Shares at net asset value per share.
o If we don't receive payment by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the
business day Stephens, PFPC or their agents receive the order, we'll
refuse the order. We'll return any payment received for orders that
we refuse. We can change this time under certain circumstances, for
example, when there's more wiring activity than normal.
o Financial institutions and intermediaries are responsible for
sending us orders for their clients and for ensuring that we receive
payment on time.
o Shares purchased are recorded on the books of the Fund. We generally
don't issue certificates.
[GRAPHIC]
SELLING SHARES
Here are some general rules for selling shares:
o We normally send the sale proceeds by federal funds wire on the same
business day that Stephens, PFPC or their agents receive the order.
o We may take up to three business days to send the sale proceeds if
we believe that an earlier payment could adversely affect the Fund.
o Investors that qualify for telephone orders can sell up to $50,000
in shares by telephone.
o If shares were paid for with a check that wasn't certified, we'll
hold the sale proceeds when those shares are sold for at least 15
days after the trade date of the purchase, or until the check has
cleared.
o Financial institutions and intermediaries are responsible for
sending us orders for their clients and for depositing the sale
proceeds to their accounts on time.
o Shares that are held in certificate form must be signed (or
accompanied by a signed stock power) and sent to PFPC. The
investor's signature must be guaranteed, unless other arrangements
have been made with us. We may ask for any other information we need
to prove that the order is properly authorized.
o Under certain circumstances allowed under the 1940 Act, we can pay
investors in securities or other property when they sell shares.
o We can delay payment of the sale proceeds for up to seven days.
o Other restrictions may apply to retirement plan accounts. For more
information about these restrictions please contact your retirement
plan administrator.
15
<PAGE>
We may sell shares:
o if the value of an investor's account falls below $500. We'll
provide 30 days notice in writing if we're going to do this
o if a financial institution or intermediary tells us to sell the
shares for a client under arrangements it has made with its clients
o under certain other circumstances allowed under the 1940 Act
[GRAPHIC]
YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES OF THE FUND YOU'RE EXCHANGING INTO. PLEASE READ ITS
PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY.
[GRAPHIC]
EXCHANGING SHARES
Investors can sell shares of a Fund to buy shares of another Nations
Fund. This is called an exchange, and may be appropriate if investment
goals or tolerance for risk change.
Here's how exchanges work:
o Investors can exchange Market Class Shares of a Fund for Market
Class Shares of any other Nations Reserves Money Market Fund.
o Investors must exchange at least $250,000 at a time.
o The rules for buying shares of a Fund, including any minimum
investment requirements, apply to exchanges into that Fund.
o Exchanges can only be made into a Fund that is legally sold in the
investor's state of residence.
o Exchanges can generally only be made into a Fund that is accepting
investments.
o We may limit the number of exchanges that can be made within a
specified period of time.
o We may change or cancel the right to make an exchange by giving the
amount of notice required by regulatory authorities (generally 60
days for a material change or cancellation).
o Shares that are held in certificate form cannot be exchanged until
PFPC has received the certificate and deposited the shares to the
investor's account.

How selling and servicing agents are paid
[GRAPHIC]
THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OR INTERMEDIARY THAT BUYS SHARES FOR YOU IS
ALSO SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A SELLING AGENT.
THE DISTRIBUTION FEE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS A "12B-1" FEE BECAUSE IT'S
PAID THROUGH A PLAN APPROVED UNDER RULE 12B-1 OF THE 1940 ACT.
THE SELLING AGENT MAY CHARGE OTHER FEES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO
YOUR ACCOUNT.
Selling and servicing agents usually receive compensation based on your
investment in the Funds. The kind and amount of the compensation depends on the
share class you invest in. Selling agents typically pay a portion of the
compensation they receive to their investment professionals.
DISTRIBUTION (12B-1) AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES
Stephens and selling and servicing agents are compensated for selling shares
and providing services to investors under distribution and shareholder
servicing plans.
Stephens may be compensated or reimbursed for distribution-related expenses up
to an annual maximum of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of Market Class
Shares of the Funds, some or all of which may be paid to selling agents.
Servicing agents may receive a maximum annual shareholder servicing fee of
0.25% of the average daily net assets of Market Class Shares of the Funds.
Fees are calculated daily and deducted monthly. Because these fees are paid out
of the Funds' assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost
of your investment, and may cost you more than any sales charges you may pay.
The Funds pay these fees to eligible selling and servicing agents for as long
as the plans continue. We may reduce or discontinue payments at any time.
OTHER COMPENSATION
Selling and servicing agents may also receive:
o a bonus, incentive or other compensation relating to the sale, promotion and
marketing of the Funds
o non-cash compensation like trips to sales seminars or vacation destinations,
tickets to sporting events, theater or other entertainment, opportunities to
participate in golf or other outings and gift certificates for meals or
merchandise
This compensation, which is not paid by the Fund, is discretionary and may be
available only to selected selling and servicing agents. For example, Stephens
sometimes sponsors promotions involving Banc of America Investments, Inc., an
affiliate of BAAI, and certain other selling or servicing agents. Selected
selling and servicing agents may also receive compensation for opening a
minimum number of accounts. Stephens may cancel any compensation program at any
time.
BAAI also may pay amounts from its own assets to Stephens or to selling or
servicing agents for services they provide.

Distributions and taxes
[GRAPHIC]
THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING
REINVESTING YOUR DISTRIBUTIONS BUYS YOU MORE SHARES OF A
FUND -- WHICH LETS YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR
COMPOUND GROWTH.
PUTTING THE MONEY YOU EARN BACK INTO YOUR INVESTMENT MEANS IT, IN TURN,
MAY EARN EVEN MORE MONEY. OVER TIME, THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT. THERE
IS NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT YOU'LL EARN MORE MONEY IF YOU REINVEST
YOUR DISTRIBUTIONS.
ABOUT DISTRIBUTIONS A mutual fund can make money two ways:
o It can earn income. Examples are interest paid on bonds and dividends paid
on COMMON STOCKS.
o A fund can also have CAPITAL GAINS if the value of its investments
increases. If a fund sells an investment at a gain, the gain is realized. If
a fund continues to hold the investment, any gain is unrealized.
A mutual fund is not subject to income tax as long as it distributes its net
investment income and realized capital gains to its shareholders. The Funds
intend to pay out a sufficient amount of their income and capital gains to
their shareholders so the Funds won't have to pay any income tax. When a Fund
makes this kind of a payment, it's split equally among all shares, and is
called a distribution.
Although the Funds do not expect to realize any capital gains, any capital
gains realized by a Fund will be distributed at least once a year.
The Funds declare distributions of net investment income each business day, and
pay them on the first business day of each month.
A distribution is paid based on the number of shares you hold on the record
date, which is usually the day the distribution is declared (daily dividend
Funds) or the day before the distribution is declared (all other Funds). Shares
are eligible to receive distributions from the SETTLEMENT DATE (daily dividend
Funds) or the TRADE DATE (all other Funds) of the purchase up to and including
the day before the shares are sold.
Different share classes of a Fund usually pay different distribution amounts,
because each class has different expenses.
We'll automatically reinvest distributions in additional shares of the same
Fund unless you tell us you want to receive your distributions in cash. You can
do this by writing to us at the address on the back cover, or by calling us at
1.800.626.2275.

THIS INFORMATION IS A SUMMARY OF HOW FEDERAL INCOME TAXES MAY
AFFECT YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE FUNDS. IT IS NOT INTENDED AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR
OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT YOUR SITUATION, INCLUDING ANY FOREIGN, STATE
AND LOCAL TAXES THAT MAY APPLY.
[GRAPHIC]
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TAXES, PLEASE SEE THE SAI.
HOW TAXES AFFECT YOUR INVESTMENT
Distributions of net investment income and any excess of net short-term capital
gains over net long-term capital losses generally are taxable to you as
ordinary income.
Although the Funds do not expect to realize any capital gains, any
distributions of net capital gains (generally the excess of net long-term
capital gains over net short-term capital losses) generally are taxable to you
as net capital gains.
In general, all distributions are taxable to you when paid, whether they are
paid in cash or automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.
However, any distributions declared in October, November or December of one
year and distributed in January of the following year will be taxable as if
they had been paid to you on December 31 of the first year.
We'll send you a notice every year that tells you how much you've received in
distributions during the year and their federal tax status. Foreign, state and
local taxes may also apply to these distributions.
U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS
If you invest in U.S. government obligations directly, interest on those
obligations is free from state and local and personal income taxes.
Distributions you receive that come from interest the Fund earns from U.S.
government obligations may not be exempt from these taxes. Please consult with
your tax advisor.
WITHHOLDING TAX
We're required by federal law to withhold tax of 31% on any distributions and
redemption proceeds paid to you (including amounts deemed to be paid for "in
kind" redemptions and exchanges) if:
o you haven't given us a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and
haven't certified that the TIN is correct and withholding doesn't apply
o the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has notified us that the TIN listed on
your account is incorrect according to its records
o the IRS informs us that you are otherwise subject to backup withholding
The IRS may also impose penalties against you if you don't give us a correct
TIN.
Amounts we withhold are applied to your federal income tax liability. You may
receive a refund from the IRS if the withholding tax results in an overpayment
of taxes.
We're also normally required by federal law to withhold tax on distributions
paid to foreign shareholders.
TAXATION OF REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES
As long as a Fund continually maintains a $1.00 net asset value per share, you
ordinarily will not recognize a taxable gain or loss on the redemption or
exchange of your shares of the Fund.

Terms used in this prospectus
AVERAGE DOLLAR-WEIGHTED MATURITY - the average length of time until the debt
securities held by a Fund reach maturity. In general, the longer the average
dollar-weighted maturity, the more a Fund's share price will fluctuate in
response to changes in interest rates.
BANK OBLIGATION - a money market instrument issued by a bank, including
certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances.
CAPITAL GAIN OR LOSS - the difference between the purchase price of a security
and its selling price. You realize a capital gain when you sell a security for
more than you paid for it. You realize a capital loss when you sell a security
for less than you paid for it.
COMMERCIAL PAPER - a money market instrument issued by a large company.
COMMON STOCK - a security that represents part equity ownership in a company.
Common stock typically allows you to vote at shareholder meetings and to share
in the company's profits by receiving dividends.
DEBT SECURITY - when you invest in a debt security, you are typically lending
your money to a governmental body or company (the issuer) to help fund their
operations or major projects. The issuer pays interest at a specified rate on a
specified date or dates, and repays the principal when the security matures.
Short-term debt securities include money market instruments such as treasury
bills. Long-term debt securities include fixed income securities such as
government and corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities.
EQUITY SECURITY - an investment that gives you part ownership in a company.
Equity securities (or "equities") include common and preferred stock, rights
and warrants.
FIRST-TIER SECURITY - under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, a debt security that
is an eligible investment for money market funds and has the highest short-term
rating from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or
if unrated, is determined by the fund's portfolio management team to be of
comparable quality, or is a money market fund issued by a registered investment
company, or is a government security.
FIXED INCOME SECURITY - an intermediate to long-term debt security that matures
in more than one year.
GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACT - an investment instrument issued by a rated
insurance company in return for a payment by an investor.
22
<PAGE>
HIGH QUALITY - in the case of municipal securities, a long-term rating of A or
higher from Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. (D&P), Fitch, S&P, Thomson
BankWatch, Inc. (BankWatch), or Moody's in the case of certain bonds that are
lacking a short-term rating from the required number of NRSROs; rated D-1 or
higher by D&P, F-1 or higher by Fitch, SP-1 by S&P, or MIG-1 by Moody's in the
case of notes; rated D-1 or higher by D&P, F-1 or higher by Fitch, or VMIG-1 by
Moody's in the case of variable rate demand notes; or rated D-1 or higher by
D&P, F-1 or higher by Fitch, A-1 or higher by S&P or PRIME-1 by Moody's in the
case of tax-exempt commercial paper. The portfolio management team may consider
an unrated municipal security to be investment grade if the team believes it to
be of comparable quality, based on guidelines provided by the Fund's Board of
Directors. Please see the SAI for more information about credit ratings.
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENT - a short-term debt security that is considered to
mature in 13 months or less. Money market instruments include U.S. Treasury
obligations, U.S. government obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certain municipal
securities.
MUNICIPAL SECURITY (OBLIGATION) - a debt security issued by state or local
governments or governmental authorities to pay for public projects and
services. "General obligations" are typically backed by the issuer's full
taxing and revenue-raising powers. "Revenue securities" depend on the income
earned by a specific project or authority, like road or bridge tolls, user fees
for water or revenues from a utility. Interest income from these securities is
exempt from federal income taxes and is generally exempt from state taxes if
you live in the state that issued the security. If you live in the municipality
that issued the security, interest income may also be exempt from local taxes.
NON-DIVERSIFIED - a fund that holds securities of fewer issuers or kinds of
issuers than other kinds of funds. Non-diversified funds tend to have greater
price swings than more diversified funds because events affecting one or more
of its securities may have a disproportionately large effect on the fund.
PARTICIPATION - a pass-through certificate representing a share in a pool of
debt obligations or other instruments.
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE - securitized mortgages or other debt securities with
interest and principal paid by a servicing intermediary shortly after interest
payments are received from borrowers.
PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND - a municipal security that is used to finance private
projects or other projects that aren't qualified for tax purposes. Private
activity bonds are generally taxable, unless their use is specifically
exempted, or may be treated as tax preference items.
23
<PAGE>
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - a short-term (often overnight) investment arrangement.
The investor agrees to buy certain securities from the borrower and the
borrower promises to buy them back at a specified date and price. The
difference between the purchase price paid by the investor and the repurchase
price paid by the borrower represents the investor's return. Repurchase
agreements are popular because they provide very low-risk return and can
virtually eliminate credit difficulties.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - a repurchase agreement in which an investor
sells a security to another party, like a bank or dealer, in return for cash,
and agrees to buy the security back at a specified date and price.
SECOND-TIER SECURITY - under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, a debt security that
is an eligible investment for money market funds, but is not a first-tier
security.
SETTLEMENT DATE - The date on which an order is settled either by payment or
delivery of securities.
SPECIAL PURPOSE ISSUER - an entity organized solely to issue asset-backed
securities on a pool of assets it owns.
TRADE DATE - the effective date of a purchase, sale or exchange transaction, or
other instructions sent to us. The trade date is determined by the day and time
we receive the order or instructions in a form that's acceptable to us.
U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS - a wide range of debt securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, authorities or
instrumentalities.
U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATION - a debt security issued by the U.S. Treasury.

ABOUT THE FUND
The Money Market Fund seeks to provide income while protecting your original
investment by investing in MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS.
Money market instruments include short-term DEBT SECURITIES that are U.S.
government issued or guaranteed or have relatively low risk. Your original
investment and your return aren't guaranteed, however, and returns will vary as
short-term interest rates change. Over time, the return on money market funds
may be lower than the return on other kinds of mutual funds or investments.
IS THIS FUND RIGHT FOR YOU?
Not every Fund is right for every investor. When you're choosing a Fund to
invest in, you should consider things like your investment goals, how much risk
you can accept and how long you're planning to hold your investment.
The Money Market Fund may be suitable for you if:
o you're looking for a relatively low risk investment with stability of
principal
o you have short-term income needs
It may not be suitable for you if:
o you're looking for higher returns
o you're more comfortable with bank deposits that are FDIC-insured
You'll find a discussion of the Fund's principal investments, strategies and
risks in the Fund description that starts on page 4.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
This Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of current
income consistent with liquidity, the preservation of capital and a
stable net asset value.
[GRAPHIC]
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
This Fund pursues its objective by generally investing in a diversified
portfolio of high quality MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS that, at the time of
investment, are considered to have remaining maturities of 397 days or
less.
THE FUND WILL ONLY BUY FIRST-TIER SECURITIES. These securities include
primarily:
o COMMERCIAL PAPER
o BANK OBLIGATIONS
o short-term DEBT SECURITIES, including instruments issued by certain trusts,
partnerships or other SPECIAL PURPOSE ISSUERS, like PASS-THROUGH
CERTIFICATES representing PARTICIPATIONS in, or instruments backed by, the
securities and other assets owned by these issuers
o short-term taxable MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
o REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS secured by first-tier securities or U.S. GOVERNMENT
OBLIGATIONS
The Fund may also invest in other money market funds, consistent with its
investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest more than 25% of its
assets in U.S. dollar denominated obligations of U.S. banks, foreign branches
of U.S. banks and U.S. branches of foreign banks, when the portfolio
management team believes market conditions warrant it.
Although not part of its principal investment strategies, the Fund may also
lend its portfolio securities to qualified institutional investors and may
engage in reverse repurchase agreements.
The portfolio management team tries to maintain a constant net asset value of
$1.00 per share for the Fund. The team uses extensive research, including
economic, technical and security analysis to select individual investments.
o Economic analysis includes evaluating national and global economic
conditions, as well as interest rate movements.
o Technical analysis includes identifying categories of money market
instruments that offer the highest yields and assessing the market for
potential investments.
o Security analysis includes evaluating the credit quality of an instrument.
Securities are normally held to maturity, but the team may sell a security
before it matures to meet cash flow needs, to manage the portfolio's maturity,
if the team determines that the security is no longer a suitable investment,
and for other reasons.

RISKS AND OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER
Nations Money Market Reserves has the following risks:
o INVESTMENT STRATEGY RISK - Although the Fund tries to maintain a share
price of $1.00, an investment in the Fund may lose money. AN INVESTMENT
IN THIS FUND IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY
BANK OF AMERICA, THE FDIC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
o INCOME/PRINCIPAL PAYMENT RISK - The Fund's ability to pay distributions
depends on the creditworthiness of the issuers of the securities the Fund
holds. The Fund may not be able to pay distributions, or could lose
money, if the issuer of a security is unable to pay interest or repay
principal when it's due.

Other important information
You'll find specific information about the Fund's principal investments,
strategies and risks in the description starting on page 4. The following are
some other risks and information you should consider before you invest:
o SPECIAL RULES FOR MONEY MARKET FUNDS - Money market funds must comply
with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act). Rule
2a-7 sets out certain limits on investments, which are designed to help
protect investors from risk of loss. These limits apply at the time an
investment is made. The Fund, like all money market funds:
o may only invest in securities with a remaining maturity of 397 days or
less, or that have maturities longer than 397 days but have demand,
interest rate reset features or guarantees that are 397 days or less
o must maintain an AVERAGE DOLLAR-WEIGHTED MATURITY of 90 days or less
o may normally invest no more than 5% of its assets in a single security,
other than U.S. government securities; however, they may invest up to
25% of its assets in a FIRST-TIER SECURITY for up to three business days
o may generally only invest in U.S. dollar denominated instruments that
are determined to have minimal credit risk and are first-tier
securities.
o CHANGING INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES - The investment objective
and certain investment policies of any Fund cannot be changed without
shareholder approval.
o HOLDING OTHER KINDS OF INVESTMENTS - The Fund may hold investments that
aren't part of its principal investment strategies. Please refer to the
SAI for more information. The portfolio managers or management team can
also choose not to invest in specific securities described in this
prospectus and in the SAI.
o INVESTING DEFENSIVELY - The Fund may temporarily hold investments that
are not part of its investment objective or its principal investment
strategies to try to protect it during a market or economic downturn or
because of political or other conditions. The Fund may not achieve its
investment objective while it is investing defensively. Any cash the Fund
holds for defensive or other reasons does not earn income.

A BUSINESS DAY IS ANY DAY THAT THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK
IS OPEN.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK IS CLOSED ON WEEKENDS AND ON
THE FOLLOWING NATIONAL HOLIDAYS: NEW YEAR'S DAY, MARTIN LUTHER
KING, JR. DAY, PRESIDENTS' DAY, MEMORIAL DAY, INDEPENDENCE DAY,
LABOR DAY, COLUMBUS DAY, VETERANS DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY AND
CHRISTMAS DAY.
HOW SHARES ARE PRICED
All transactions are based on the price of a Fund's shares -- or its net asset
value per share. We calculate net asset value per share at the following time:
o 5:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day for each share class of Nations
Money Market Reserves
First, we calculate the net asset value for each class of a Fund by determining
the value of the Fund's assets in the class and then subtracting its
liabilities. Next, we divide this amount by the number of shares that investors
are holding in the class.
Although we try to maintain a net asset value per share of $1.00 for the Fund,
we can't guarantee that we will be able to do so.
VALUING SECURITIES IN A FUND
The value of a Fund's assets is based on the total market value of all of the
securities it holds. We use the amortized cost method, which approximates
market value, to value the assets in the Money Market Funds.
HOW ORDERS ARE PROCESSED
Orders to buy, sell or exchange shares are processed on business days. Orders
received by Stephens, PFPC or their agents by the following times on a business
day will receive that day's net asset value per share:
o 3:00 p.m. Eastern time for Nations Money Market Reserves
Investors are encouraged to place orders to sell as early in the day as
possible. Orders received after these times will receive the next business
day's net asset value per share. The business day that applies to an order is
also called the TRADE DATE. We may refuse any order to buy or exchange shares.
If this happens, we'll return any money we've received.
12
<PAGE>
TELEPHONE ORDERS
You can place orders to buy, sell or exchange by telephone if you complete the
telephone authorization section of our account application and send it to us.
Here's how telephone orders work:
o If you sign up for telephone orders after you open your account, you must
have your signature guaranteed.
o Telephone orders may not be as secure as written orders. You may be
responsible for any loss resulting from a telephone order.
o We'll take reasonable steps to confirm that telephone instructions are
genuine. For example, we require proof of your identification before we
will act on instructions received by telephone and may record telephone
conversations. If we and our service providers don't take these steps, we
may be liable for any losses from unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions.
o Telephone orders may be difficult to complete during periods of
significant economic or market change.
[GRAPHIC]
BUYING SHARES
Here are some general rules for buying shares:
o Investors buy Daily Class Shares at net asset value per share.
o If we don't receive payment by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the business
day Stephens, PFPC or their agents receive the order, we'll refuse the
order. We'll return any payment received for orders that we refuse. We
can change this time under certain circumstances, for example, when
there's more wiring activity than normal.
o Financial institutions and intermediaries are responsible for sending us
orders for their clients and for ensuring that we receive payment on
time.
o Shares purchased are recorded on the books of the Fund. We generally
don't issue certificates.
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
You can make regular purchases of $100 or more using automatic transfers from
your bank account to the Funds you choose. You can contact your financial
adviser or us to set up the plan.
Here's how the plan works:
o You can buy shares twice a month, monthly or quarterly.
o You can choose to have us transfer your money on or about the 15th or the
last day of the month.
o Some exceptions may apply to employees of Bank of America and its
affiliates, and to plans set up before August 1, 1997. For details,
please contact your financial adviser.

SELLING SHARES
Here are some general rules for selling shares:
o We normally send the sale proceeds by federal funds wire on the same
business day that Stephens, PFPC or their agents receive the order.
o We may take up to three business days to send the sale proceeds if we
believe that an earlier payment could adversely affect the Fund.
o Investors that qualify for telephone orders can sell up to $50,000 in
shares by telephone.
o If shares were paid for with a check that wasn't certified, we'll hold
the sale proceeds when those shares are sold for at least 15 days after
the trade date of the purchase, or until the check has cleared.
o Financial institutions and intermediaries are responsible for sending us
orders for their clients and for depositing the sale proceeds to their
accounts on time.
o Shares that are held in certificate form must be signed (or accompanied
by a signed stock power) and sent to PFPC. The investor's signature must
be guaranteed, unless other arrangements have been made with us. We may
ask for any other information we need to prove that the order is
properly authorized.
o Under certain circumstances allowed under the 1940 Act, we can pay
investors in securities or other property when they sell shares.
o We can delay payment of the sale proceeds for up to seven days.
o Other restrictions may apply to retirement plan accounts. For more
information about these restrictions please contact your retirement plan
administrator.
We may sell shares:

days notice in writing if we're going to do this

for a client under arrangements it has made with its clients
o under certain other circumstances allowed under the 1940 Act

POLICIES OF THE FUND YOU'RE EXCHANGING INTO. PLEASE READ ITS
PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY.

EXCHANGING SHARES
Investors can sell shares of a Fund to buy shares of another Nations
Fund. This is called an exchange, and may be appropriate if investment
goals or tolerance for risk change.
Here's how exchanges work:
o Investors can exchange Daily Class Shares of a Fund for Daily Class
Shares of any other Nations Reserves Money Market Fund.
o Investors must exchange at least $1,000 at a time.
o The rules for buying shares of a Fund, including any minimum investment
requirements, apply to exchanges into that Fund.
o Exchanges can only be made into a Fund that is legally sold in the
investor's state of residence.
o Exchanges can generally only be made into a Fund that is accepting
investments.
o We may limit the number of exchanges that can be made within a specified
period of time.
o We may change or cancel the right to make an exchange by giving the
amount of notice required by regulatory authorities (generally 60 days
for a material change or cancellation).
o Shares that are held in certificate form cannot be exchanged until PFPC
has received the certificate and deposited the shares to the investor's
account.

How selling and servicing agents are paid
[GRAPHIC]
THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OR INTERMEDIARY THAT BUYS SHARES FOR YOU
IS ALSO SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS A SELLING AGENT.
THE DISTRIBUTION FEE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS A "12B-1" FEE BECAUSE
IT'S PAID THROUGH A PLAN APPROVED UNDER RULE 12B-1 OF THE 1940 ACT.
THE SELLING AGENT MAY CHARGE OTHER FEES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO
YOUR ACCOUNT.
Selling and servicing agents usually receive compensation based on your
investment in the Fund. The kind and amount of the compensation depends on the
share class you invest in. Selling agents typically pay a portion of the
compensation they receive to their investment professionals.
DISTRIBUTION (12B-1) AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES
Stephens and selling and servicing agents are compensated for selling shares
and providing services to investors under distribution and shareholder
servicing plans.
Stephens may be reimbursed for distribution-related expenses up to an annual
maximum of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Daily Class Shares of the
Fund, some or all of which may be paid to selling agents.
Servicing agents may receive a maximum annual shareholder servicing fee of
0.25% of the average daily net assets of Daily Class Shares of the Fund.
Fees are calculated daily and deducted monthly. Because these fees are paid out
of the Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost
of your investment, and may cost you more than any sales charges you may pay.
The Fund pays these fees to eligible selling and servicing agents for as long
as the plans continue. We may reduce or discontinue payments at any time.
OTHER COMPENSATION
Selling and servicing agents may also receive:
o a bonus, incentive or other compensation relating to the sale, promotion and
marketing of the Fund
o an additional amount of up to 0.50% of the net asset value per share on all
sales of Daily Class Shares to retirement plans
o non-cash compensation like trips to sales seminars or vacation destinations,
tickets to sporting events, theater or other entertainment, opportunities to
participate in golf or other outings and gift certificates for meals or
merchandise
This compensation which is not paid by the Fund, is discretionary and may be
available only to selected selling and servicing agents. For example, Stephens
sometimes sponsors promotions involving Banc of America Investments, Inc., an
affiliate of BAAI, and certain other selling or servicing agents. Selected
selling and servicing agents may also receive compensation for opening a
minimum number of accounts. Stephens may cancel any compensation program at any
time.
BAAI also may pay amounts from its own assets to Stephens or to selling or
servicing agents for services they provide.

Distributions and taxes
[GRAPHIC]
THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING
REINVESTING YOUR DISTRIBUTIONS BUYS YOU MORE SHARES OF A
FUND -- WHICH LETS YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR
COMPOUND GROWTH.
PUTTING THE MONEY YOU EARN BACK INTO YOUR INVESTMENT MEANS IT, IN TURN,
MAY EARN EVEN MORE MONEY. OVER TIME, THE POWER OF COMPOUNDING HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENT. THERE
IS NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT YOU'LL EARN MORE MONEY IF YOU REINVEST
YOUR DISTRIBUTIONS.
ABOUT DISTRIBUTIONS A mutual fund can make money two ways:
o It can earn income. Examples are interest paid on bonds and dividends paid
on COMMON STOCKS.
o A fund can also have CAPITAL GAINS if the value of its investments
increases. If a fund sells an investment at a gain, the gain is realized. If
a fund continues to hold the investment, any gain is unrealized.
A mutual fund is not subject to income tax as long as it distributes its net
investment income and realized capital gains to its shareholders. The Fund
intends to pay out a sufficient amount of its income and capital gains to its
shareholders so the Fund won't have to pay any income tax. When a Fund makes
this kind of a payment, it's split equally among all shares, and is called a
distribution.
Although the Fund does not expect to realize any capital gains, any capital
gains realized by a Fund will be distributed at least once a year.
The Fund declares distributions of net investment income each business day and
pays them on the first business day of each month.
A distribution is paid based on the number of shares you hold on the record
date which is usually the day the distribution is declared (daily dividend
Funds) or the day before the distribution is declared (all other Funds). Shares
are eligible to receive distributions from the SETTLEMENT DATE (daily dividend
Funds) or the TRADE DATE (all other Funds) of the purchase up to and including
the day before the shares are sold.
Different share classes of a Fund usually pay different distribution amounts,
because each class has different expenses.
We'll automatically reinvest distributions in additional shares of the same
Fund unless you tell us you want to receive your distributions in cash. You can
do this by writing to us at the address on the back cover, or by calling us at
1.800.626.2275 if you're an institutional investor, or 1.800.321.7854 if you're
an individual investor.

THIS INFORMATION IS A SUMMARY OF HOW FEDERAL INCOME TAXES MAY
AFFECT YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE FUND. IT IS NOT INTENDED AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR
OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT YOUR SITUATION, INCLUDING ANY FOREIGN, STATE
AND LOCAL TAXES THAT MAY APPLY.
[GRAPHIC]
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TAXES, PLEASE SEE THE SAI.
HOW TAXES AFFECT YOUR INVESTMENT
Distributions of net investment income and any excess of net short-term capital
gains over net long-term capital losses generally are taxable to you as
ordinary income.
Although the Fund does not expect to realize any capital gains, any
distributions of net capital gains (generally the excess of net long-term
capital gains over net short-term capital losses) generally are taxable to you
as net capital gains.
In general, all distributions are taxable to you when paid, whether they are
paid in cash or automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.
However, any distributions declared in October, November or December of one
year and distributed in January of the following year will be taxable as if
they had been paid to you on December 31 of the first year.
We'll send you a notice every year that tells you how much you've received in
distributions during the year and their federal tax status. Foreign, state and
local taxes may also apply to these distributions.
U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS
If you invest in U.S. government obligations directly, interest on those
obligations is free from state and local and personal income taxes.
Distributions you receive that come from interest the Fund earns from U.S.
government obligations may not be exempt from these taxes. Please consult with
your tax advisor.
WITHHOLDING TAX
We're required by federal law to withhold tax of 31% on any distributions and
redemption proceeds paid to you (including amounts deemed to be paid for "in
kind" redemptions and exchanges) if:
o you haven't given us a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and
haven't certified that the TIN is correct and withholding doesn't apply
o the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has notified us that the TIN listed on
your account is incorrect according to its records
o the IRS informs us that you are otherwise subject to backup withholding
The IRS may also impose penalties against you if you don't give us a correct
TIN.
Amounts we withhold are applied to your federal income tax liability. You may
receive a refund from the IRS if the withholding tax results in an overpayment
of taxes.
We're also normally required by federal law to withhold tax on distributions
paid to foreign shareholders.

Terms used in this prospectus
AVERAGE DOLLAR-WEIGHTED MATURITY - the average length of time until the debt
securities held by a Fund reach maturity. In general, the longer the average
dollar-weighted maturity, the more a Fund's share price will fluctuate in
response to changes in interest rates.
BANK OBLIGATION - a money market instrument issued by a bank, including
certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances.
CAPITAL GAIN OR LOSS - the difference between the purchase price of a security
and its selling price. You realize a capital gain when you sell a security for
more than you paid for it. You realize a capital loss when you sell a security
for less than you paid for it.
COMMERCIAL PAPER - a money market instrument issued by a large company.
COMMON STOCK - a security that represents part equity ownership in a company.
Common stock typically allows you to vote at shareholder meetings and to share
in the company's profits by receiving dividends.
DEBT SECURITY - when you invest in a debt security, you are typically lending
your money to a governmental body or company (the issuer) to help fund their
operations or major projects. The issuer pays interest at a specified rate on a
specified date or dates, and repays the principal when the security matures.
Short-term debt securities include money market instruments such as treasury
bills. Long-term debt securities include fixed income securities such as
government and corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities.
EQUITY SECURITY - an investment that gives you part ownership in a company.
Equity securities (or "equities") include common and preferred stock, rights
and warrants.
FIRST-TIER SECURITY - under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, a debt security that
is an eligible investment for money market funds and has the highest short-term
rating from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or
if unrated, is determined by the fund's portfolio management team to be of
comparable quality, or is a money market fund issued by a registered investment
company, or is a government security.
FIXED INCOME SECURITY - an intermediate to long-term debt security that matures
in more than one year.
GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACT - an investment instrument issued by a rated
insurance company in return for a payment by an investor.

HIGH QUALITY - in the case of municipal securities, a long-term rating of A or
higher from Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. (D&P), Fitch, S&P, Thomson
BankWatch, Inc. (BankWatch), or Moody's in the case of certain bonds that are
lacking a short-term rating from the required number of NRSROs; rated D-1 or
higher by D&P, F-1 or higher by Fitch, SP-1 by S&P, or MIG-1 by Moody's in the
case of notes; rated D-1 or higher by D&P, F-1 or higher by Fitch, or VMIG-1 by
Moody's in the case of variable rate demand notes; or rated D-1 or higher by
D&P, F-1 or higher by Fitch, A-1 or higher by S&P or PRIME-1 by Moody's in the
case of tax-exempt commercial paper. The portfolio management team may consider
an unrated municipal security to be investment grade if the team believes it to
be of comparable quality, based on guidelines provided by the Fund's Board of
Directors. Please see the SAI for more information about credit ratings.
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENT - a short-term debt security that is considered to
mature in 13 months or less. Money market instruments include U.S. Treasury
obligations, U.S. government obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certain municipal
securities.
MUNICIPAL SECURITY (OBLIGATION) - a debt security issued by state or local
governments or governmental authorities to pay for public projects and
services. "General obligations" are typically backed by the issuer's full
taxing and revenue-raising powers. "Revenue securities" depend on the income
earned by a specific project or authority, like road or bridge tolls, user fees
for water or revenues from a utility. Interest income from these securities is
exempt from federal income taxes and is generally exempt from state taxes if
you live in the state that issued the security. If you live in the municipality
that issued the security, interest income may also be exempt from local taxes.
NON-DIVERSIFIED - a fund that holds securities of fewer issuers or kinds of
issuers than other kinds of funds. Non-diversified funds tend to have greater
price swings than more diversified funds because events affecting one or more
of its securities may have a disproportionately large effect on the fund.
PARTICIPATION - a pass-through certificate representing a share in a pool of
debt obligations or other instruments.
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE - securitized mortgages or other debt securities with
interest and principal paid by a servicing intermediary shortly after interest
payments are received from borrowers.
PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND - a municipal security that is used to finance private
projects or other projects that aren't qualified for tax purposes. Private
activity bonds are generally taxable, unless their use is specifically
exempted, or may be treated as tax preference items.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - a short-term (often overnight) investment arrangement.
The investor agrees to buy certain securities from the borrower and the
borrower promises to buy them back at a specified date and price. The
difference between the purchase price paid by the investor and the repurchase
price paid by the borrower represents the investor's return. Repurchase
agreements are popular because they provide very low-risk return and can
virtually eliminate credit difficulties.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - a repurchase agreement in which an investor
sells a security to another party, like a bank or dealer, in return for cash,
and agrees to buy the security back at a specified date and price.
SECOND-TIER SECURITY - under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, a debt security that
is an eligible investment for money market funds, but is not a first-tier
security.
SETTLEMENT DATE - the date on which an order is settled either by payment or
delivery of securities.
SPECIAL PURPOSE ISSUER - an entity organized solely to issue asset-backed
securities on a pool of assets it owns.
TRADE DATE - the effective date of a purchase, sale or exchange transaction, or
other instructions sent to us. The trade date is determined by the day and time
we receive the order or instructions in a form that's acceptable to us.
U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS - a wide range of debt securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, authorities or
instrumentalities.
U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATION - a debt security issued by the U.S. Treasury.
