Investment Objective and Policies

BayFunds offers you a convenient and affordable way to participate in five
separate, professionally managed, diversified investment portfolios with
distinct investment objectives and policies. This prospectus relates only to the
Investment Shares of the BayFunds Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market Fund")
and BayFunds U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio ("Treasury Fund")
(individually a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds").

   BayFunds Money Market
   Portfolio seeks to provide current income consistent with stability of
   principal and liquidity by investing in a portfolio of money market
   instruments with remaining maturities of 397 days or less; and
   BayFunds U.S. Treasury Money
   Market Portfolio seeks to provide current income consistent with stability
   of principal and liquidity by investing in a portfolio consisting primarily
   of short-term U.S. Treasury obligations with remaining maturities of 397
   days or less.

As of the date of this prospectus, BayFunds offers shares in three other
portfolios:

   . BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio seeks a high level of current income
     consistent with preservation of capital by investing in a diversified
     portfolio of high-grade debt obligations. The Fund will maintain a
     dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of three years or less;

   . BayFunds Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve high current income and capital
     appreciation by investing, under normal market and economic conditions, at
     least 65% of the value of its total assets in bonds. The Fund will
     maintain a dollar-weighted average porfolio maturity of twelve years or
     less; and

   . BayFunds Equity Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation,
     by investing, under normal market and economic conditions, at least 65% of
     the value of its total assets in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity
     securities, with current income as a secondary objective.

Shareholders may exchange Investment Shares in the Funds for Investment Shares
in the other portfolios of BayFunds without any redemption fee or other charge.
(See "Exchange Privileges" at pages 17-18.)

Valuing Fund Shares

Each Fund attempts to maintain a stable net asset value (or market value) of
$1.00 per share, although there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.
(See "Net Asset Value" at page 14.)

Buying and Redeeming Fund
Shares

You can conveniently buy and redeem Fund shares on any Business Day. (See
"Investing in Shares" at pages 15-17 and "Redeeming Shares" at pages 19-21.)
Shares of a Fund are bought and redeemed at net asset value without a sales load
or redemption fees. The minimum initial investment in a Fund is $2,500, or $500
if you participate in the Automatic Investment Program or invest through an
Individual Retirement Account ("IRA"). Subsequent investments must be in amounts
of at least $100, or $50 if you participate in the Automatic Investment Program
or invest through an IRA. (See "Automatic Investment Program" at page 17.)

Fund Management

The investment adviser for the Money Market Fund is BayBanks Investment
Management, Inc., and the investment adviser for the Treasury Fund is BayBank
Boston, N.A., each of which makes investment decisions for the respective Fund.
(See "BayFunds Information" at page 11.)

Shareholder Services

When you become a shareholder, you can easily obtain information about your
account, and about the Funds and other BayFunds' portfolios by calling toll-free
1-800-BAY-FUND (1-800-229-3863.)

Risk Factors

An investment in the Fund may involve certain risks that are explained more
fully in the sections of the prospectus discussing each Fund's investment
policies and its acceptable investments. (See "Investment Risks" at page 10.)

</TABLE>

(1) The management fee has been reduced to reflect the voluntary waiver of the
    management fee for the Money Market Fund. The adviser can terminate this
    voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. The maximum management
    fee for the Money Market Fund is 0.40%.

(2) The Funds can pay up to 0.25% of Investment Shares average daily net assets
    for shareholder servicing agent fees. See "Shareholder Servicing
    Arrangements."

(3) The Total Investment Shares Operating Expenses would be 0.91% for the Money
    Market Fund, absent the voluntary waiver of expenses described in notes (1)
    and (2) above.

The Annual Investment Shares Operating Expenses for the Money Market Fund and
Treasury Fund were 0.62% and 0.62%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1993. The Operating Expenses in the table above are based on
estimated expenses expected during the fiscal year ending December 31, 1994.

The above table can help you understand the various costs and expenses that a
shareholder of Investment Shares will bear, either directly or indirectly. For
more complete descriptions of the various costs and expenses, see "BayFunds
Information" and "Investing in Shares." Wire-transferred redemptions may be
subject to additional fees.

Example:
  You would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment assuming (1) 5% annual return        Money
  and (2) redemption at the end of each time period. The Fund charges no redemption fees for      Market     Treasury
  Investment Shares.                                                                               Fund        Fund

The above example should not be considered a representation of past or future
expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

The information set forth in the foregoing table and example relates only to the
Money Market Fund and the Treasury Fund Investment Shares. The Funds also offer
another class of shares called Trust Shares and Institutional Shares,
respectively. Trust Shares of the Money Market Portfolio and Institutional
Shares of the Treasury Fund and Investment Shares of both Funds are generally
subject to the same expenses; however, Trust Shares and Institutional Shares are
not subject to a shareholder servicing fee. See "Other Classes of Shares."

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

BayFunds was established as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration
of Trust dated April 1, 1991. The Declaration of Trust permits BayFunds to offer
separate series of shares of beneficial interest representing interests in
separate portfolios of securities. The shares in any one portfolio may be
offered in separate classes. With respect to the Funds, as of the date of this
prospectus, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") has established two classes of
shares, Trust Shares and Investment Shares of the Money Market Fund and
Institutional Shares and Investment Shares of the Treasury Fund. This prospectus
relates only to Investment Shares ("Shares") of the Funds.


The Shares are designed primarily for individuals who purchase Shares through
BayBanks and its affiliates and seek a convenient means of accumulating an
interest in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of securities.


                            INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND
                             POLICIES OF EACH FUND

The investment objective and policies of each Fund appear below. The investment
objective of a Fund cannot be changed without the approval of holders of a
majority of that Fund's shares. While there is no assurance that a Fund will
achieve its investment objective, it endeavors to do so by following the
investment policies described in this prospectus.

Unless indicated otherwise, the investment policies of a Fund may be changed by
the Trustees without approval of shareholders. Shareholders will be notified
before any material change in these policies becomes effective.

For additional information about the investment strategies that one or both
Funds may employ, and certain investment policies mentioned below, please refer
to the "Portfolio Investments and Strategies of the Funds" section of this
prospectus and the combined Statement of Additional Information.

Money Market Fund

   The Money Market Fund is designed for conservative investors who want
   current income, liquidity, and stability of principal.

   This Fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, referred to as net
   asset value per share, by investing primarily in a portfolio of money
   market instruments. While the Fund cannot guarantee a stable share price,
   the short-term nature of its investments helps to minimize price
   fluctuations.

The investment objective of the Money Market Fund is to provide current income
consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. The Fund pursues its
investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of
money market instruments with remaining maturities of 397 days or less. The
average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted basis,
will be 90 days or less.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

The Money Market Fund invests in high quality money market instruments that are
either rated in the highest short-term rating category by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") or are of comparable quality to
securities having such ratings. Examples of these instruments include, but are
not limited to:

 . domestic issues of corporate debt obligations;
   commercial paper (including Canadian Commercial Paper and Europaper);

 . certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares, bankers'
   acceptances, deposit notes and other instruments of domestic and foreign
   banks, savings and loans and other deposit or thrift institutions ("Bank
   Instruments");

 . demand master notes;

 . obligations issued or guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by
   the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities ("Government
   Securities"); and

 . other money market instruments.

The Money Market Fund invests only in instruments denominated and payable in
U.S. dollars.

Treasury Fund


   The Treasury Fund is designed for conservative investors who want current
   income, liquidity and stability of principal as well as the extra security
   of a portfolio invested only in short-term U.S. Treasury obligations and
   repurchase agreements collateralized by such obligations. This Fund seeks
   to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, referred to as net asset value per
   share, by investing primarily in a portfolio of short-term U.S. Treasury
   obligations. While the Fund cannot guarantee a stable share price, the
   short-term nature of its investments helps to minimize price
   fluctuations.


The investment objective of the Treasury Fund is current income consistent with
stability of principal and liquidity. The Fund pursues its investment objective
by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the value of its
total assets in U.S. Treasury obligations with remaining maturities of 397 days
or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted
basis, will be 90 days or less.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

The Treasury Fund invests at least 65% of the value of its total assets in U.S.
Treasury obligations. These instruments are issued by the U.S. government, its
agencies, or instrumentalities and are fully guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the United States. They mature in 397 days or less from the date of
acquisition, or have a variable rate of interest adjusted no less frequently
than every 397 days, or are purchased pursuant to a repurchase agreement which
provides for repurchase by the seller within 397 days from the date of
acquisition.

                           PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS AND
                            STRATEGIES OF THE FUNDS

Government Securities

The types of Government Securities in which the Funds may invest generally
include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as U.S. Treasury bills,
notes, and bonds) and, with respect to the Money Market Fund, obligations issued
or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities. These securities
are backed by:

  . the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury;

  . the issuer's right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury;

  . the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain
    obligations of agencies or instrumentalities; or

  . the credit of the agency or instrumentality issuing the obligations.

Examples of agencies and instrumentalities which may not always receive
financial support from the U.S. government are:

  . Federal Home Loan Banks;

  . Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation;

  . Federal Farm Credit Banks;

  . The Student Loan Marketing Association; and

  . Federal National Mortgage Association.

Repurchase Agreements

The securities in which the Funds invest may be purchased pursuant to repurchase
agreements. Repurchase agreements are arrangements in which banks,
broker/dealers, and other recognized financial institutions sell securities to
the Funds and agree at the time of sale to repurchase them at a mutually agreed
upon time and price. To the extent that the seller does not repurchase the
securities from the Funds, the Funds could receive more or less than the
repurchase price on any sale of such securities.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Funds may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Funds purchase
securities with payment and delivery scheduled for a future time. The Funds
engage in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions only for the purpose of
acquiring portfolio securities consistent with the Funds' investment objective
and policies, not for investment leverage. In when-issued and delayed delivery
transactions, the Funds rely on the seller to complete the transaction. The
seller's failure to deliver the securities may cause the Funds to miss a price
or yield considered to be advantageous.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

In order to generate additional income, the Funds may lend their portfolio
securities on a short-term basis to broker/dealers, banks, or other
institutional borrowers of securities. The Funds will limit the amount of
portfolio securities they may lend to not more than one-third of their
respective total assets. The Funds will only enter into loan arrangements with
broker/dealers, banks, or other institutions that their investment advisers have
determined are creditworthy under guidelines established by the Trustees and
will receive collateral equal to at least 100% of the value of the securities
loaned.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities


The Funds may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any
securities in which the Funds may otherwise invest pursuant to their investment
objective and policies, but which are subject to restriction on resale under
federal securities law. However, the Funds will limit investments in illiquid
securities, including certain restricted securities not determined by the
Trustees to be liquid, non-negotiable time deposits, and repurchase agreements
providing for settlement in more than seven days after notice, to 10% of its
net assets.


The Money Market Fund may invest in commercial paper issued in reliance on the
exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933. Section 4(2) commercial paper is restricted as to disposition under
federal securities law and is generally sold to institutional investors, such as
the Money Market Fund, who agree that they are purchasing the paper for
investment purposes and not with a view to public distribution. Any resale by
the purchaser must be in an exempt transaction. Section 4(2) commercial paper is
normally resold to other institutional investors like the Money Market Fund
through or with the assistance of the issuer or investment dealers who make a
market in Section 4(2) commercial paper, thus providing liquidity. The Money
Market Fund believes that Section 4(2) commercial paper and possibly certain
other restricted securities which meet the criteria for liquidity established by
the Trustees are quite liquid. The Money Market Fund intends, therefore, to
treat the restricted securities which meet the criteria for liquidity
established by the Trustees, including Section 4(2) commercial paper, as
determined by the Money Market Fund's investment adviser, as liquid and not
subject to the investment limitation applicable to illiquid securities. In
addition, because Section 4(2) commercial paper is liquid, the Money Market Fund
intends to not subject such paper to the limitation applicable to restricted
securities.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. This transaction is
similar to borrowing cash. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund transfers
possession of a portfolio instrument to another person, such as a financial
institution, broker, or dealer, in return for a percentage of the instrument's
market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the future the
Funds will repurchase the portfolio instrument by remitting the original
consideration plus interest at an agreed upon rate.

When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, assets of the Fund, in a dollar
amount sufficient to make payment for the obligations to be purchased, are
segregated at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled.

During the period any reverse repurchase agreements are outstanding, the Fund
will restrict the purchase of portfolio instruments to money market instruments
maturing on or before the expiration date of the reverse repurchase agreements,
but only to the extent necessary to assure completion of the reverse repurchase
agreements.

The use of reverse repurchase agreements may enable the Funds to avoid selling
portfolio instruments at a time when a sale may be deemed to be disadvantageous,
but the ability to enter into reverse repurchase agreements does not ensure that
the Funds will be able to avoid selling portfolio instruments at a
disadvantageous time.

Ratings

An NRSRO's highest rating category is determined without regard for
sub-categories and gradations. For example, securities rated A-1 or A-1+ by
Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. ("Moody's"), or F-1+ or F-1 by Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch") are
all considered rated in the highest short-term rating category. The Funds will
follow applicable regulations in determining whether a security rated by more
than one NRSRO can be treated as being in the highest short-term rating
category. See "Regulatory Compliance."

Bank Instruments

The Money Market Fund may invest in Bank Instruments which are either issued by
an institution having capital, surplus and undivided profits over $100 million
as of the date of its most recently published financial statements or which are
insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") or the Savings Association Insurance
Fund ("SAIF"), both of which are administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"). Bank Instruments may include Eurodollar Certificates of
Deposit ("ECDs"), Yankee Certificates of Deposit ("Yankee CDs"), and Eurodollar
Time Deposits ("ETDs"). The Money Market Fund will treat securities that are
credit enhanced with a bank's letter of credit as Bank Instruments.

Demand Master Notes

The Money Market Fund may purchase demand master notes, which are short-term
borrowing arrangements between a corporation or government agency and an
institutional lender (such as the Money Market Fund) payable upon demand by
either party. The notice period for demand typically ranges from one to seven
days, and the party may demand full or partial payment. Many master notes give
the Money Market Fund the option of increasing or decreasing the principal
amount of the master note on a daily or weekly basis within certain limits.
Demand master notes and other short-term credit arrangements usually provide for
floating or variable rates of interest.

Credit Enhancement

The Money Market Fund may acquire securities that have been credit enhanced by a
guaranty, letter of credit or insurance. The Money Market Fund will evaluate the
credit quality and ratings of credit enhanced securities based upon the
financial condition and ratings of the party providing the credit enhancement
(the "credit enhancer"), rather than the issuer. Generally, credit enhanced
securities will not be treated as having been issued by the credit enhancer for
diversification purposes. However, under certain circumstances, as required by
applicable regulations, the securities will be treated as having been issued
both by the issuer and the credit enhancer.

Puts and Standby Commitments

The Money Market Fund may acquire securities that are subject to puts and
standby commitments to repurchase the securities at their principal amount
(usually with accrued interest) within a fixed period (usually seven days)
following a demand by the Money Market Fund. The puts and standby commitments
may be issued by the issuer of the underlying securities, a dealer in the
securities or by another third party, and may not be transferred separately from
the underlying security. These arrangements are used to provide the Money Market
Fund with liquidity and not to protect against changes in the market value of
the underlying securities. Puts that are exercisable even after a payment
default on the underlying security may be treated as a form of credit
enhancement.

Investing in Securities of
Other Investment Companies

The Money Market Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies
that are money market funds having investment objectives and policies similar to
its own, but it will not own more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock
of any such investment company, invest more than 5% of its total assets in any
one such investment company, or invest more than 10% of its total assets in such
other investment companies in general. The Money Market Fund will invest in
other investment companies primarily for the purpose of investing short-term
cash which has not yet been invested in other portfolio instruments. The Money
Market Fund's adviser will waive its investment advisory fee on assets invested
in securities of open-end investment companies.

Investment Risks

The ECDs, ETDs, Yankee CDs, and Europaper which the Money Market Fund may
purchase are subject to different risks than domestic obligations of domestic
banks or corporations. Examples of these risks include international economic
and political developments, foreign governmental restrictions that may adversely
affect the payment of principal or interest, foreign withholding or other taxes
on interest income, difficulties in obtaining or enforcing a judgment against
the issuing entity, and the possible impact of interruptions in the flow of
international currency transactions. Different risks may also exist for ECDs,
ETDs, and Yankee CDs because the banks issuing these instruments, or their
domestic or foreign branches, are not necessarily subject to the same regulatory
requirements that apply to domestic banks, such as reserve requirements, loan
limitations, examinations, accounting, auditing, recordkeeping, and the public
availability of information. These factors will be carefully considered by the
Money Market Fund's adviser in selecting investments for the Money Market Fund.

                             INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Funds will not:
  . borrow money directly or through reverse repurchase agreements (arrangements
    in which the Funds sell a portfolio instrument for a percentage of their
    cash value with an agreement to buy it back on a set date) or pledge
    securities except, under certain circumstances, the Funds may borrow money
    and engage in reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to one-third of
    the value of their respective total assets and pledge up to 15% of the value
    of those assets to secure such borrowings; nor

  . with respect to 75% of the value of their respective total assets, invest
    more than 5% in securities of any one issuer other than cash, cash items or
    securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or
    its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized
    by such securities.

The above limitations cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The
following limitation, however, may be changed by the Trustees without
shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified before any material change
in this limitation becomes effective.

The Funds will not:

  . invest more than 10% of their respective net assets in illiquid securities,
    including repurchase agreements providing for settlement in more than seven
    days after notice.

                             REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

The Funds may follow non-fundamental operating policies that are more
restrictive than their fundamental investment limitations, as set forth in this
prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, in order to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, including the provisions of and regulations
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "ICA").  In
particular, the Funds will comply with the various requirements of Rule 2a-7
under the ICA, which regulates money market mutual funds. For example, Rule 2a-7
generally prohibits the investment of more than 5% of each Fund's total assets
in the securities of any one issuer, although each Fund's investment limitation
only requires such 5% diversification with respect to 75% of its assets.
However, U.S. government securities may be purchased without regard to this 5%
limitation. The Funds will also determine the effective maturity of their
investments, as well as their ability to consider a security as having received
the requisite short-term ratings by NRSROs, according to Rule 2a-7. The Funds
may change these operational policies to reflect changes in the laws and
regulations without the approval of their shareholders.

                                NET ASSET VALUE

   The term "net asset value" per share refers to the value of one Fund
   share.

Each Fund attempts to stabilize the net asset value of its Shares at $1.00 by
valuing the portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. Net asset
value per Share for purposes of pricing purchases and redemptions is calculated
by dividing the value of all securities and other assets belonging to a Fund,
less the liabilities charged to the Fund, by the number of outstanding shares of
the Fund.

The Funds cannot guarantee that their net asset value will always remain at
$1.00 per Share.

Pricing of Shares

The net asset value of each Fund is determined at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and
the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange, currently
4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Monday through Friday, except on: (i) the following
holidays: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day; (ii) days on
which there are not sufficient changes in the value of a Fund's portfolio
securities that its net asset value might be materially affected; and (iii) days
during which no Shares are tendered for redemption and no orders to purchase
Shares are received.

                                  INVESTING IN

minimum for additional Share purchases is $50. The Funds may waive any
investment minimums from time to time. In addition, the Funds may reduce or
waive investment minimums for investors purchasing through qualified BayBanks
accounts.


When You May Purchase Shares


The Funds offer Shares only on days on which the New York Stock Exchange and the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston are open for business ("Business Days"). In
addition to the holidays listed above under "Pricing of Shares," other non-
Business Days include Martin Luther King's Day, Columbus Day and Veteran's Day.
If the Shareholder Servicing Agent receives your purchase order on a
non-Business Day, the order will not be executed until the next Business Day in
accordance with the Distributor's procedures. The Funds and the Distributor
reserve the right to reject any purchase request.


When Your Purchase Is Effective


Purchase orders for Shares of a Fund must be placed with the Shareholder
Servicing Agent by 11:30 a.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day in order to be
eligible to receive dividends declared that day. Purchase orders received in
good order and accepted by the Funds from the Transfer Agent by 2:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) on a Business Day will be executed at the net asset value next
determined and will begin earning dividends that day. The Transfer Agent will
not communicate your purchase order to the Fund until the Shareholder Servicing
Agent has received the purchase price in Federal funds or other immediately
available funds. If your purchase order is received in good order and accepted
by the Funds from the Transfer Agent after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and prior to
4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), it will be executed at the net asset value next
determined and Shares will begin earning dividends the next Business Day. When
you purchase Shares by check, the order is considered received when the check is
converted into Federal funds, normally within two Business Days.



To allow the Advisers to manage the Funds effectively and to enhance your
chances of being eligible to receive that day's dividend, you are strongly
encouraged to initiate all trades (purchases, redemptions, or exchanges) as
early in the day as possible. On those days when either the Federal Reserve Bank
of Boston or the U.S. Government Bond Market closes early, or, in an Adviser's
judgment, closing early is deemed to be in the best interest of a Fund's
shareholders, the right is reserved to advance the time on that day by which all
transactions (purchases, redemptions, or exchanges) must be received.


You must submit a completed and signed application at the time of your initial
purchase.

The Shareholder Servicing Agent is responsible for the prompt transmission of
purchase orders received in good order to the Transfer Agent.

   Subsequent purchases may be made by telephone, mail, wire, or in person
   through BayBanks offices.

Purchases By Mail


If you make your initial Share purchase by mail, you must send a completed and
signed application and a check payable to the specific Fund and class, to:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02254-9614

You may obtain an application by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND.


You may make subsequent investments in the Funds at any time by sending a check
for a minimum of $100 ($50 if for an IRA) payable to the specific Fund and class
at the following address:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 5-0900
  Woburn, MA 01815-0900


or for IRAs:

  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 889
  Burlington, MA 01803-5889



You must include either (a) the detachable form that regularly accompanies
confirmation of a prior transaction, (b) a subsequent order form that may be
obtained by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND, or (c) a letter stating the amount of the
investment, the name of the Fund and class of shares, the exact name and address
of the account, and your account number.



If the check does not clear, your purchase order will be cancelled and you could
be held liable for associated transaction costs.


Purchases By Phone

Once you are a Fund shareholder, you may purchase additional Shares by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND.


You must have previously authorized the specific Fund in writing to accept
telephone requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the
Options Change Form and information on this Fund feature. Each Fund uses
reasonable procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a
written confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions
given by telephone are genuine. However, a Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for the losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.


The establishment of certain types of deposit account relationships with
BayBanks may permit the direct deduction of your purchase price from your
BayBanks deposit account. Please call 1-800-BAY-FUND to determine whether your
BayBanks deposit account qualifies.

For the protection of investors, all phone communications may be recorded where
not otherwise prohibited by law.

Texas residents must purchase Shares through the Distributor at 1-800-358-2805.

Purchases By Wire


If you are a Fund shareholder, you may purchase additional Shares by wire by
first notifying BayBank, as agent for the Transfer Agent, by phone at
1-800-BAY-FUND and then wiring the funds as follows:


   . BayBank

   . ABA Number: 0110-0174-2

   . Attention: Mutual Funds Services

   . For Credit to: (shareholder name and account number)

   . Further Credit to: (identify the appropriate Fund--Investment Shares)

Purchases Through BayBanks Offices

You may place an order to purchase Shares of a Fund in person through designated
BayBanks offices.

Purchase orders placed through BayBanks offices typically would be received by
the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. If you want more prompt processing,
you should consider another method, such as "Purchases By Phone."


Automatic Investment Program

   You can buy Shares conveniently through the Automatic Investment Program.



When you participate in the Automatic Investment Program, you can purchase
additional Fund Shares in minimum amounts of $50. You must previously have
authorized in writing the amount of funds to be deducted automatically from
eligible BayBanks deposit accounts or your deposit account maintained at a
domestic financial institution which is an automated clearing house member, and
the frequency of the deductions. The funds will be invested in Shares of the
Funds at the net asset value next determined. The Funds may reduce or waive the
investment minimums for investors purchasing through qualified BayBanks
accounts.


                              EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES

   If your investment needs change, you can easily exchange a Fund's
   Investment Shares for Investment Shares of any other BayFunds Portfolio at
   no charge.


BayFunds consists of the Funds, the BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio, the
BayFunds Equity Portfolio, and the BayFunds Bond Portfolio. As a shareholder,
you have access to the Investment Shares of all the portfolios ("Participating
Funds") of BayFunds through an exchange program. You may also purchase BayFunds
Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust with redemption proceeds of a
BayFunds portfolio by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.



You may exchange Shares having a net asset value of at least $100 for Investment
Shares of any other Participating Fund in which you have an account. The minimum
initial investment to establish an account in any other Participating Fund by
exchange is $2,500, or $500 if you participate in the Automatic Investment
Program or invest through an IRA. BayFunds does not charge any exchange fees.



Each exchange is considered a sale of shares of one fund and a purchase of
shares of another fund. Shares submitted for exchange will be redeemed at the
net asset value next determined after receipt of the exchange request by the
Transfer Agent on a Business Day. Investment Shares of the Participating Fund to
be acquired will be purchased at the net asset value per share next determined
on a Business Day. Transfers of money between a BayFunds portfolio and BayFunds
Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust will be reflected as a redemption
and purchase on a shareholder's account statement. In a transfer involving the
BayFunds Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust, the purchase order will
be placed on the Business Day following the Business Day after which the
redemption order has been executed.


If you do not have an account in the Participating Fund whose Investment Shares
you want to acquire, you must establish an account. Prior to any such exchange,
you must receive a copy of the current prospectus of the Investment Shares of
the Participating Fund into which an exchange is to be effected. This account
will be registered in the same name and, unless you specify otherwise, will have
the same dividend and distribution payment option you selected with your
existing account. If the new account registration (name, address, and taxpayer
identification number) is not identical to your existing account, please call
1-800-BAY-FUND for the necessary new account or transfer procedures.

The exchange privilege is available to shareholders in any state in which
Participating Funds' shares being acquired may be sold.

You may find the exchange privilege useful if your investment objectives or
market outlook should change after you invest in any of the Investment Shares of
the Participating Funds. You may obtain further information on the exchange
privilege and obtain a prospectus by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.

BayFunds reserves the right to terminate the exchange privilege at any time on
60 days' notice. Shareholders will be notified if this privilege is terminated.

Depending on the circumstances, an exchange may generate a short-or long-term
capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges By Telephone

You may provide instructions for exchanges by telephone between Participating
Funds by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.


You must have previously authorized the Funds in writing to accept telephone
requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the Options
Change Form and information on this feature. Each Fund uses reasonable
procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a written
confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions given
by telephone are genuine. However, a Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for the losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.


Written Exchanges

You may send a written request for exchange to:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02254-9614



Your written request must include your name and tax identification number; the
name of the specific Fund, the name of the class of shares; the dollar amount or
number of Shares to be redeemed; the name of the fund and class of shares in
which shares are to be purchased; and your account number. Your request must be
signed by the registered owners(s) exactly as required by the account
application.


Exchanges Through BayBanks Offices

You may place an order to exchange Shares in person through designated BayBanks
offices.

Exchange orders received through designated BayBanks offices typically would be
received by the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. For more prompt
processing, you should consider another method, such as "Exchanges By
Telephone."

                                REDEEMING SHARES

   When you sell your Shares--"redeem" them--you receive the net asset value
   per share next determined after the request is received by a Fund in proper
   form. There are no fees or other redemption charges (except for redemptions
   by wire). You may redeem some or all of your investment.

When You May Redeem Shares

Each Fund redeems its Shares at the net asset value next determined after the
Fund has received your redemption request from the Transfer Agent in proper
form. Redemption requests can be executed only on Business Days. If your
redemption request is received by the Shareholder Servicing Agent on a
non-Business Day, the Transfer Agent will not communicate your redemption
request to the Fund until the next Business Day.


The Funds will not process any redemptions until a completed and signed
application has been received.


When Redemptions Are Paid


Redemption proceeds may be credited to an eligible BayBanks deposit account,
paid by check, or paid by wire, as you previously designated in your
application. Shareholders of a Fund must place redemption orders with the
Shareholder Servicing Agent by 11:30 a.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day in
order to be eligible to receive redemption proceeds by wire on the day of
redemption. The Funds ordinarily will make payment for Shares redeemed after
proper receipt from the Transfer Agent of the redemption request and of all
documents in proper form within one Business Day to an eligible BayBanks deposit
account, within five Business Days if you requested redemption proceeds by
check, or the same day by wire if the Funds receive your redemption request from
the Transfer Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the day of redemption. Shares
of the Funds redeemed and wired the same day will not receive the dividend
declared on the day of redemption.


Signature Guarantees. If you request a redemption for an amount in excess of
$10,000 (no limitation if the proceeds are being credited to your BayBanks
deposit account), a redemption of any amount to be sent to an address other than
your address of record with the Fund, the transfer of the registration of
Shares, or a redemption of any amount payable to someone other than yourself as
the shareholder of record, your signature must be guaranteed on a written
redemption request by a trust company or insured commercial bank; an insured
savings and loan association or savings bank; a member firm of a national or
regional stock exchange; or any other "eligible guarantor institution," as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Transfer Agent has adopted
standards for accepting signature guarantees from the above institutions.
BayFunds may elect in the future to limit eligible signature guarantors to
institutions that are members of a signature guarantee program. The Funds do not
accept signatures guaranteed by a notary public. BayFunds and its Transfer Agent
reserve the right to amend these standards at any time without notice. If you
have a question about the proper form for redemption requests, call
1-800-BAY-FUND.

   You may redeem Shares by phone, mail, or through BayBanks offices. You may
   receive redemption proceeds by wire.

Redemptions By Mail

You may redeem Fund Shares by submitting a written request for redemption to:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02554-9614



Your written redemption request must include your name and tax identification
number, the specific Fund's name, the class of shares name, the dollar amount or
number of Shares to be redeemed, and your account number. Your request must be
signed by the registered owner(s) exactly as required by the account
application.


Redemptions By Phone

You may redeem Fund Shares by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND.

You must have previously authorized the Fund in writing to accept telephone
requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the Options
Change Form.

In the event of drastic economic or market changes, you may experience
difficulty in redeeming by telephone. If this occurs, you should consider
another method of redemption, such as "Redemptions By Mail." Each Fund uses
reasonable procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a
written confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions
given by telephone are genuine. However, a Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for any losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.


Redemption Proceeds By Wire


You may receive redemption proceeds of Fund Shares by wire by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND. Redemption proceeds of at least $1,000 will be wired directly to
the domestic commercial bank and account you previously designated in writing.
You are charged a fee for each wire redemption and the fee is deducted from your
redemption proceeds.



Each Fund reserves the right to wire redemption proceeds within five Business
Days after receiving the redemption order if, in its judgment, an earlier
payment could adversely affect the Fund. However, the redemption order will be
effected at the net asset value next determined after the redemption request is
received by a Fund from the Transfer Agent in proper form. The Funds also
reserve the right to terminate or modify the "Redemption
Proceeds By Wire" or "Redemptions By Phone" procedures at any time. In that
event, shareholders would be promptly notified.


Redemptions Through BayBanks
Offices

You may place an order to redeem Fund Shares in person through designated
BayBanks offices.

Redemption orders received through designated BayBanks offices typically would
be received by the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. For more prompt
processing, you should consider another method, such as "Redemptions By Phone."


                               BACKUP WITHHOLDING

The Internal Revenue Service requires that backup withholding of 31% apply to
any redemption or exchange request on an account that has not certified its
taxpayer identification number ("TIN"). Shareholders who either have not
certified their number or applied for a number should be aware that backup
withholding will apply to any redemption request processed prior to receipt of a
TIN number and certification.

Redemptions Before Purchase
Instruments Clear

If any portion of a Fund's Shares to be redeemed represents an investment made
with uncollected funds, the Fund reserves the right to delay payment of proceeds
until the Shareholder Servicing Agent is reasonably certain that the funds have
been collected, which could take up to five Business Days.



Automatic Withdrawal Program

An Automatic Withdrawal Program may be established for IRA accounts only whereby
automatic redemptions are made from the account and transferred electronically
to an eligible BayBanks deposit account or your deposit account maintained at a
domestic financial institution that is an automated clearing house member. The
minimum withdrawal amount is $100 per month. Depending upon the amount of the
withdrawal payments and the amount of dividends paid with respect to Shares,
redemptions may reduce, and eventually deplete, the shareholder's investment in
the Fund. For this reason, payments under this program should not be considered
as yield or income on the shareholder's investment in the Fund. A shareholder
may apply for participation in this program by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND for
further information. If a shareholder withdraws any funds from the IRA account
before reaching age 59-1/2 (except certain withdrawals of excess contributions
and regular payments made over the shareholder's life expectancy), the
shareholder will be subject to an IRS penalty tax of 10% of the taxable amount
withdrawn in addition to regular income taxes on the taxable amount.


                            SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Balances in Accounts


Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, a Fund may
redeem your Shares (other than in retirement plan accounts or IRAs) and send you
the proceeds if, due to shareholder redemptions your account balance falls below
a minimum value of $1,000. However, before Shares are redeemed to close an
account, the shareholder will be notified in writing and given 60 days to
purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum balance requirement. The Funds
reserve the right to amend this standard upon 60 days' prior written notice to
shareholders. The Funds also reserve the right to redeem their Shares
involuntarily or make payment for redemptions in the form of securities if it
appears appropriate to do so in light of their responsibilities under the ICA.


Dividends and Distributions

   You earn dividends daily and receive them monthly. You select the payment
   option: automatic reinvestment in additional Shares, automatic credit to
   eligible BayBanks deposit accounts, or by check.

Dividends from a Fund's net investment income are declared daily to shareholders
of record immediately following the 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) pricing of Shares.
Dividends are paid monthly within five Business Days after the end of such
calendar month. The Funds do not expect to realize any net long-term capital
gains. However, if any such gains are realized, they will be distributed to
shareholders at least annually.


You elect in writing how you want to receive your dividends and your
distributions. You may choose automatic reinvestment in additional Fund Shares
at the net asset value next determined on the payment dates, automatic credit to
an eligible BayBanks deposit account, or by check. If you fail to select an
option, all distributions will be reinvested in additional Shares.


Confirmations and Monthly
Statements

Confirmations of each purchase, exchange or redemption are sent to each
shareholder of record. Monthly statements are sent to report transactions as
well as dividends paid during the month. However, BayBank IRA customers will
receive quarterly statements for their accounts. The Funds may suspend or
terminate their practice of confirming each transaction at any time without
notice.

The Funds' Transfer Agent maintains a Share account for each shareholder of
record. Share certificates are not issued.

Corporate Customers

Corporate customers of BayBanks interested in purchasing Fund Shares should
consult their account relationship managers for procedures applicable to their
accounts or call 1-800-554-3311. This prospectus should be read in conjunction
with any materials provided by BayBanks regarding such procedures.

Retirement Plans


BayBanks makes available for purchase Fund Shares for investment by IRAs, and
rollover IRAs. For details, including minimum investments, application forms and
other investment procedures, call 1-800-BAY-FUND. For information about
Simplified Employee Pension Plans and retirement plan vehicles established by
employers for their employees which are qualified under Section 401(k) and
403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, call BayBank at 1-800-462-9999, extension
4589, or write to BayBank, Corporate Trust--New Business Department, 7 New
England Executive Park, Burlington, MA 01803.


Voting Rights

   As a shareholder, you are entitled to vote on certain matters.

Each Share of a Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All shares of each portfolio
in BayFunds have equal voting rights, except that, in matters affecting only a
particular fund or class, only shares of that particular Fund or class are
entitled to vote.

As a Massachusetts business trust, BayFunds is not required to hold annual
shareholder meetings. Shareholder approval will be sought only for certain
changes in BayFunds' or a Fund's operation and for the election of Trustees
under certain circumstances. Trustees may be removed by a two-thirds vote of the
number of Trustees prior to such removal or by a two-thirds vote of the
shareholders at a special meeting. A special meeting of shareholders shall be
called by the Trustees upon the written request of shareholders owning at least
10% of BayFunds' outstanding shares of all portfolios entitled to vote.


                              AUTHORITY TO ACT AS
                              INVESTMENT ADVISERS

The Glass-Steagall Act and other banking laws and regulations presently prohibit
a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, or any affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or
controlling a registered, open-end investment company continuously engaged in
the issuance of its shares, and from issuing, underwriting, selling or
distributing securities in general. Such laws and regulations do not prohibit
such a holding company or affiliate from acting as investment adviser, transfer
agent or custodian to such an investment company or from purchasing shares of
such a company as agent for and upon the order of their customer. Each Fund's
investment adviser, BayBanks Investment Management, Inc., and BayBank Boston,
N.A., is subject to such banking laws and regulations.

The Advisers believe that they may perform the investment advisory services for
the Funds contemplated by their advisory agreements with BayFunds without
violating the Glass-Steagall Act or other applicable banking laws or
regulations. Changes in either federal or state statutes and regulations
relating to the permissible activities of banks and their subsidiaries or
affiliates, as well as further judicial or administrative decisions or
interpretations of present or future statutes and regulations, could prevent the
Advisers from continuing to perform all or a part of the above services for
their customers and/or the Funds. In such event, changes in the operation of the
Funds may occur, including the possible alteration or termination of any
automatic or other Fund share investment and redemption services then being
provided, and the Trustees would consider alternative investment advisers and
other means of continuing available investment services. It is not expected that
Fund shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences (if another
adviser with equivalent abilities to BayBanks Investment Management, Inc. and/or
BayBank Boston, N.A. are found) as a result of any of these occurrences.

State securities laws governing the ability of depository institutions to act as
underwriters or distributors of securities may differ from interpretations given
to the Glass-Steagall Act and, therefore, banks and financial institutions may
be required to register as dealers pursuant to state laws.


                                TAX INFORMATION

   The following discussion on taxes is for general information only. Please
   consult your own tax adviser for specific tax information about your
   particular situation.

Federal Income Tax

Each Fund intends to meet requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies in order not to be liable for any Federal
income taxes on income and gains distributed to the Fund's shareholders. Each
Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized gains at least annually.

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for Federal income tax
purposes.

Unless otherwise exempt, shareholders are required to pay Federal income tax on
any dividends and other distributions received. This applies whether dividends
and distributions are received in cash or as additional Shares. Distributions
from a Fund's net investment income and short-term capital gains will be taxed
as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction
available to corporations.

Early each year, each Fund will notify its shareholders of the amount and tax
status of distributions paid to the shareholder for the preceding year.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the status of
their accounts under state and local tax laws.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

   You can follow each Fund's performance.

From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
performance and yield of the Funds may be quoted and compared to those of other
mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant money market
indices or to rankings prepared by independent services or other financial or
industry publications that monitor the performance of mutual funds. For example,
the performance of the Funds may be compared to data prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., a widely recognized independent service which
monitors the performance of mutual funds.

National financial publications in which performance and yield data are reported
may include The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, or Money
magazine. Publications of a local or regional nature, such as The Boston Globe
or The Boston Herald, may also be used in comparing the performance and yield of
the Funds.

The yield of the Shares represents the annualized rate of income earned on an
investment in the Shares over a seven-day period. It is the annualized dividends
earned during the period on the investment shown as a percentage of the
investment. The effective yield is calculated similarly to the yield, but, when
annualized, the income earned by an investment in the Shares is assumed to be
reinvested daily. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.

Advertisements and other sales literature may also refer to total return. Total
return represents the change, over a specified period of time, in the value of
an investment in the Shares after reinvesting all income distributions. It is
calculated by dividing that change by the initial investment and is expressed
as a percentage.

Yield, effective yield and total return will be calculated separately for the
Investment Shares of the Funds, and Institutional Shares of the Treasury Fund
and Trust Shares of the Money Market Fund. Because the Investment Shares are
subject to shareholder servicing fees, the yield, effective yield and total
return of Institutional Shares of the Treasury Fund and Trust Shares of the
Money Market Fund for the same period will exceed that of the Investment Shares
of the corresponding Fund.


Shares of the Funds are sold without any sales load or other similar
non-recurring charges.


                            OTHER CLASSES OF SHARES

Institutional Shares of the Treasury Fund are sold to banks and other
institutions investing for their own accounts and on behalf of persons
maintaining accounts at such banks and institutions and are subject to a minimum
initial investment of $500,000 or such minimums such banks or institutions may
set for their customers. Trust Shares of the Money Market Fund are sold
primarily to trusts, fiduciaries and institutions. Investments in Trust Shares
are subject to a minimum initial investment of $10,000. Institutional Shares and
Trust Shares are sold at net asset value and are distributed without shareholder
servicing fees.


The amount of dividends payable to Institutional Shares of the Treasury Fund and
Trust Shares of the Money Market Fund will exceed that of Investment Shares of
the corresponding Fund by the difference between Class Expenses and shareholder
servicing fees borne by shares of each respective class of shares of a Fund.
(Currently, there are no differences in Class Expenses other than shareholder
servicing fees.)


The stated advisory fee is the same for both classes of shares of a Fund.

                                    SYNOPSIS

This prospectus relates only to the Institutional Shares of the BayFunds U.S.
Treasury Money Market Portfolio ("Treasury Fund") and Trust Shares of the
BayFunds Money Market Portfolio ("Money Market Fund"). Each Fund is designed as
a convenient means of accumulating an interest in a professionally managed,
diversified portfolio investing primarily in money market instruments as
follows:

   BayFunds Money Market
   Portfolio seeks to provide current income consistent with stability of
   principal and liquidity by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio
   of money market instruments with remaining maturities of 397 days or less;
   and
   BayFunds U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide current
   income consistent with stability of principal and liquidity by investing,
   under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the value of its total
   assets in U.S. Treasury obligations with remaining maturities of 397 days
   or less.

For information on how to purchase Shares of either of these Funds, please refer
to "Investing in Shares." Each of the Funds attempts to stabilize the value of
its Shares at $1.00. A minimum initial investment of $10,000 is required for
Trust Shares of the Money Market Fund and $500,000 for Institutional Shares of
the Treasury Fund. Subsequent investment must be in amounts of at least $100 for
Trust Shares of the Money Market Fund and $100,000 for Institutional Shares of
the Treasury Fund. See "Minimum Investment." A bank or institution purchasing
Institutional Shares of the Treasury Fund will set minimums for its customers.
Shares are sold and redeemed at net asset value without a sales charge.
Information on redeeming Shares may be found under "Redeeming Shares."
Additionally, information regarding the exchange privilege offered with respect
to the other portfolios of BayFunds may be found under "Exchange Privileges."
BayBanks Investment Management, Inc. is the adviser to the Money Market Fund.
BayBank Boston, N.A. is the adviser to the Treasury Fund.

Risk Factors. The Funds may make certain investments and employ certain
investment techniques that involve risks, each of which are explained more fully
in the sections of this prospectus discussing the Funds' investment policies and
their acceptable investments. (See "Investment Objective and Policies of Each
Fund" and "Portfolio Investments and Strategies of the Funds.")

(1) The management fee has been reduced to reflect the voluntary waiver of the
    management fee for the Money Market Fund. The adviser can terminate this
    voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. The maximum management
    fee for the Money Market Fund is 0.40%.

(2) Total Operating Expenses for the Money Market Fund would be 0.66%, absent
    the voluntary waiver described in note (1) above.

The Annual Operating Expenses were 0.59% for the Money Market Fund Trust Shares,
and 0.35% for the Treasury Fund Institutional Shares, for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1993. The Operating Expenses in the table above are based on
estimated expenses expected during the fiscal year ending December 31, 1994.

The above table can help you understand the various costs and expenses that a
shareholder of Money Market Fund Trust Shares and Treasury Fund Institutional
Shares will bear, either directly or indirectly. For more complete descriptions
of the various costs and expenses, see "BayFunds Information" and "Investing in
Shares." Wire-transferred redemptions may be subject to additional fees.

expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

The information set forth in the foregoing table and example relates only to the
Money Market Fund Trust Shares and the Treasury Fund Institutional Shares. The
Funds also offer another class of shares called Investment Shares. Money Market
Fund Trust Shares and Investment Shares and Treasury Fund Institutional Shares
and Investment Shares are subject to the same expenses; however, Investment
Shares of both Funds are subject to a shareholder servicing fee. See "Other

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

BayFunds was established as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration
of Trust dated April 1, 1991. The Declaration of Trust permits BayFunds to offer
separate series of shares of beneficial interest representing interests in
separate portfolios of securities. The shares in any one portfolio may be
offered in separate classes. With respect to each Fund, as of the date of this
prospectus, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") has established two classes of
shares, Trust Shares and Investment Shares of the Money Market Fund and
Institutional Shares and Investment Shares of the Treasury Fund. This prospectus
relates only to Trust Shares and Institutional Shares (collectively, "Shares")
of these Funds.

Trust Shares of the Money Market Fund are sold to trusts, fiduciaries and
institutions. Institutional Shares of the Treasury Fund are sold to BayBank
Boston, N.A., its affiliated and correspondent banks and other institutions
investing for their own account and on behalf of customers maintaining accounts
at such banks and institutions.

The other portfolios in BayFunds are: BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio;
BayFunds Bond Portfolio; and BayFunds Equity Portfolio.

                            INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND
                             POLICIES OF EACH FUND

The investment objective and policies of each Fund appear below. The investment
objective of a Fund cannot be changed without the approval of holders of a
majority of that Fund's Shares. While there is no assurance that a Fund will
achieve its investment objective, it endeavors to do so by following the
investment policies described in this prospectus.

Unless indicated otherwise, the investment policies of a Fund may be changed by
the Trustees without approval of shareholders. Shareholders will be notified
before any material change in these policies becomes effective.

For additional information about the investment strategies that one or both
Funds may employ, and certain investment policies mentioned below, please refer
to the "Portfolio Investments and Strategies of the Funds" section of this
prospectus and the combined Statement of Additional Information.

Money Market Fund

The investment objective of the Money Market Fund is to provide current income
consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. The Fund pursues this
investment objective by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of money
market instruments with remaining maturities of 397 days or less. The average
maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted basis, will be 90
days or less.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

The Money Market Fund invests in high quality money market instruments that are
either rated in the highest short-term rating category by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") or are of comparable quality to
securities having such ratings. Examples of these instruments include, but
are not limited to:

   . domestic issues of corporate debt obligations;

   . commercial paper (including Canadian Commercial Paper and Europaper);

   . certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares, bankers'
     acceptances, deposit notes and other instruments of domestic and foreign
     banks, savings and loans and other deposit or thrift institutions ("Bank
     Instruments");

   . demand master notes;

   . obligations issued or guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by
     the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities
     ("Government Securities"); and

   . other money market instruments.

The Money Market Fund invests only in instruments denominated and payable in
U.S. dollars.

Treasury Fund

The investment objective of the Treasury Fund is current income consistent with
stability of principal and liquidity. The Fund pursues its investment objective
by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the value of its
total assets in U.S. Treasury obligations with remaining maturities of 397 days
or less. The average maturity of these securities, computed on a dollar-weighted
basis, will be 90 days or less.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

The Treasury Fund invests at least 65% of the value of its total assets in U.S.
Treasury obligations. These instruments are issued by the U.S. government, its
agencies, or instrumentalities and are fully guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the United States. They mature in 397 days or less from the date of
acquisition, or have a variable rate of interest adjusted no less frequently
than every 397 days, or are purchased pursuant to a repurchase agreement which
provides for repurchase by the seller within 397 days from the date of
acquisition.

                           PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS AND
                            STRATEGIES OF THE FUNDS

Government Securities

The types of Government Securities in which the Funds may invest generally
include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as U.S. Treasury bills,
notes, and bonds) and, with respect to the Money Market Fund, obligations issued
or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities. These securities
are backed by:

  . the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury;

  . the issuer's right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury;

  . the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain
    obligations of agencies or instrumentalities; or

  . the credit of the agency or instrumentality issuing the obligations.

Examples of agencies and instrumentalities which may not always receive
financial support from the U.S. government are:

  . Federal Home Loan Banks;

  . Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation;

  . Federal Farm Credit Banks;

  . The Student Loan Marketing Association; and

  . Federal National Mortgage Association.

Repurchase Agreements

The securities in which the Funds invest may be purchased pursuant to repurchase
agreements. Repurchase agreements are arrangements in which banks,
broker/dealers, and other recognized financial institutions sell securities to
the Funds and agree at the time of sale to repurchase them at a mutually agreed
upon time and price. To the extent that the seller does not repurchase the
securities from the Funds, the Funds could receive more or less than the
repurchase price on any sale of such securities.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Funds may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Funds purchase
securities with payment and delivery scheduled for a future time. The Funds
engage in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions only for the purpose of
acquiring portfolio securities consistent with the Funds' investment objectives
and policies, not for investment leverage. In when-issued and delayed delivery
transactions, the Funds rely on the seller to complete the transaction. The
seller's failure to deliver the securities may cause the Funds to miss a price
or yield considered to be advantageous.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

In order to generate additional income, the Funds may lend their portfolio
securities on a short-term basis to broker/dealers, banks, or other
institutional borrowers of securities. The Funds will limit the amount of
portfolio securities they may lend to not more than one-third of their
respective total assets. The Funds will only enter into loan arrangements with
broker/dealers, banks, or other institutions that their investment advisers have
determined are creditworthy under guidelines established by the Trustees and
will receive collateral equal to at least 100% of the value of the securities
loaned.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities


The Funds may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any
securities in which the Funds may otherwise invest pursuant to their investment
objective and policies, but which are subject to restriction on resale under
federal securities law. However, the Funds will limit investments in illiquid
securities, including certain restricted securities not determined by the
Trustees to be liquid, non-negotiable time deposits, and repurchase agreements
providing for settlement in more than seven days after notice, to 10% of their
respective net assets.


The Money Market Fund may invest in commercial paper issued in reliance on the
exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933. Section 4(2) commercial paper is restricted as to disposition under
federal securities law and is generally sold to institutional investors, such as
the Money Market Fund who agrees that they are purchasing the paper for
investment purposes and not with a view to public distribution. Any resale by
the purchaser must be in an exempt transaction. Section 4(2) commercial paper is
normally resold to other institutional investors like the Money Market Fund
through or with the assistance of the issuer or investment dealers who make a
market in Section 4(2) commercial paper, thus providing liquidity. The Money
Market Fund believes that Section 4(2) commercial paper and possibly certain
other restricted securities which meet the criteria for liquidity established by
the Trustees are quite liquid. The Money Market Fund intends, therefore, to
treat the restricted securities which meet the criteria for liquidity
established by the Trustees, including Section 4(2) commercial paper, as
determined by the Money Market Fund's investment adviser, as liquid and not
subject to the investment limitation applicable to illiquid securities. In
addition, because Section 4(2) commercial paper is liquid, the Money Market Fund
intends to not subject such paper to the limitation applicable to restricted
securities.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. This transaction is
similar to borrowing cash. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund transfers
possession of a portfolio instrument to another person, such as a financial
institution, broker, or dealer, in return for a percentage of the instrument's
market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the future the
Fund will repurchase the portfolio instrument by remitting the original
consideration plus interest at an agreed upon rate.

When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, assets of the Fund, in a dollar
amount sufficient to make payment for the obligations to be purchased, are
segregated at the trade date and maintained until the transaction is settled.

During the period any reverse repurchase agreements are outstanding, the Fund
will restrict the purchase of portfolio instruments to money market instruments
maturing on or before the expiration date of the reverse repurchase agreements,
but only to the extent necessary to assure completion of the reverse repurchase
agreements.

The use of reverse repurchase agreements may enable the Funds to avoid selling
portfolio instruments at a time when a sale may be deemed to be disadvantageous,
but the ability to enter into reverse repurchase agreements does not ensure that
the Funds will be able to avoid selling portfolio instruments at a
disadvantageous time.

Ratings

An NRSRO's highest rating category is determined without regard for
sub-categories and gradations. For example, securities rated A-1 or A-1+ by
Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. ("Moody's"), or F-1+ or F-1 by Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch") are
all considered rated in the highest short-term rating category. The Funds will
follow applicable regulations in determining whether a security rated by more
than one NRSRO can be treated as being in the highest short-term rating
category. See "Regulatory Compliance."

Bank Instruments

The Money Market Fund may invest in Bank Instruments which are either issued by
an institution having capital, surplus and undivided profits over $100 million
as of the date of its most recently published financial statements or which
are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") or the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), both of which are administered by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Bank Instruments may include Eurodollar
Certificates of Deposit ("ECDs"), Yankee Certificates of Deposit ("Yankee
CDs"), and Eurodollar Time Deposits ("ETDs"). The Money Market Fund will
treat securities that are credit enhanced with a bank's letter of credit as
Bank Instruments.

Demand Master Notes

The Money Market Fund may purchase demand master notes, which are short-term
borrowing arrangements between a corporation or government agency and an
institutional lender (such as the Money Market Fund) payable upon demand by
either party. The notice period for demand typically ranges from one to seven
days, and the party may demand full or partial payment. Many master notes give
the Money Market Fund the option of increasing or decreasing the principal
amount of the master note on a daily or weekly basis within certain limits.
Demand master notes and other short-term credit arrangements usually provide for
floating or variable rates of interest.

Credit Enhancement

The Money Market Fund may acquire securities that have been credit enhanced by a
guaranty, letter of credit or insurance. The Money Market Fund will evaluate the
credit quality and ratings of credit enhanced securities based upon the
financial condition and ratings of the party providing the credit enhancement
(the "credit enhancer"), rather than the issuer. Generally, credit enhanced
securities will not be treated as having been issued by the credit enhancer for
diversification purposes. However, under certain circumstances, as required by
applicable regulations, the securities will be treated as having been issued
both by the issuer and the credit enhancer.

Puts and Standby Commitments

The Money Market Fund may acquire securities that are subject to puts and
standby commitments to repurchase the securities at their principal amount
(usually with accrued interest) within a fixed period (usually seven days)
following a demand by the Money Market Fund. The puts and standby commitments
may be issued by the issuer of the underlying securities, a dealer in the
securities or by another third party, and may not be transferred separately from
the underlying security. These arrangements are used to provide the Money Market
Fund with liquidity and not to protect against changes in the market value of
the underlying securities. Puts that are exercisable even after a payment
default on the underlying security may be treated as a form of credit
enhancement.

Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies

The Money Market Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies
that are money market funds having investment objectives and policies similar to
its own, but it will not own more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock
of any such investment company, invest more than 5% of its total assets in any
one such investment company, or invest more than 10% of its total assets in such
other investment companies in general. The Money Market Fund will invest in
other investment companies primarily for the purpose of investing short-term
cash which has not yet been invested in other portfolio instruments. The Money
Market Fund's adviser will waive its investment advisory fee on assets invested
in securities of open-end investment companies.

Investment Risks

The ECDs, ETDs, Yankee CDs, and Europaper which the Money Market Fund may
purchase are subject to different risks than domestic obligations of domestic
banks or corporations. Examples of these risks include international economic
and political developments, foreign governmental restrictions that may
adversely affect the payment of principal or interest, foreign withholding or
other taxes on interest income, difficulties in obtaining or enforcing a
judgment against the issuing entity, and the possible impact of interruptions
in the flow of international currency transactions. Different risks may also
exist for ECDs, ETDs, and Yankee CDs because the banks issuing these
instruments, or their domestic or foreign branches, are not necessarily
subject to the same regulatory requirements that apply to domestic banks, such
as reserve requirements, loan limitations, examinations, accounting, auditing,
recordkeeping, and the public availability of information. These factors will
be carefully considered by the Money Market Fund's adviser in selecting
investments for the Money Market Fund.

                             INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Funds will not:

  . borrow money directly or through reverse repurchase agreements (arrangements
    in which the Funds sell a portfolio instrument for a percentage of their
    cash value with an agreement to buy it back on a set date) or pledge
    securities except, under certain circumstances, the Funds may borrow money
    and engage in reverse repurchase agreements in amounts up to one-third of
    the value of their respective total assets and pledge up to 15% of the value
    of those assets to secure such borrowings; nor

  . with respect to 75% of the value of their respective total assets, invest
    more than 5% in securities of any one issuer other than cash, cash items or
    securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or
    its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements collateralized
    by such securities.

The above limitations cannot be changed without shareholder approval. The
following limitation, however, may be changed by the Trustees without
shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified before any material change
in this limitation becomes effective.

The Funds will not:

  . invest more than 10% of their respective net assets in illiquid securities,
    including repurchase agreements providing for settlement in more than seven
    days after notice.

                             REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

The Funds may follow non-fundamental operating policies that are more
restrictive than their fundamental investment limitations, as set forth in this
prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, in order to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, including the provisions of and regulations
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "ICA").  In
particular, the Funds will comply with the various requirements of Rule 2a-7
under the ICA, which regulates money market mutual funds. For example, Rule 2a-7
generally prohibits the investment of more than 5% of each Fund's total assets
in the securities of any one issuer, although each Fund's investment limitation
only requires such 5% diversification with respect to 75% of its assets.
However, U.S. government securities may be purchased without regard to this 5%
limitation. The Funds will also determine the effective maturity of their
investments, as well as their ability to consider a security as having received
the requisite short-term ratings by NRSROs, according to Rule 2a-7. The Funds
may change these operational policies to reflect changes in the laws and
regulations without the approval of their shareholders.

Expenses of the Funds and Shares

expenses. The expenses borne by the Funds include the following types of
expenses: organization fees; Trustees fees; fees for those management and
administration services described above (including legal, audit and custodian
fees); and printing, registration and mailing costs for legally required

expenses to holders of shares as it deems appropriate ("Class Expenses").


                                NET ASSET VALUE

Each Fund attempts to stabilize the net asset value of its Shares at $1.00 by
valuing the portfolio securities using the amortized cost method. Net asset
value per Share for purposes of pricing purchases and redemptions is calculated
by dividing the value of all securities and other assets belonging to a Fund,
less the liabilities charged to the Fund, by the number of outstanding shares of
the Fund.

The Funds cannot guarantee that their net asset value will always remain at
$1.00 per Share.

Pricing of Shares

The net asset value of each Fund is determined at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and
the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange, currently
4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Monday through Friday, except on: (i) the following
holidays: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day; (ii) days on
which there are not sufficient changes in the value of a Fund's portfolio
securities that its net asset value might be materially affected; and (iii) days
during which no Shares are tendered for redemption and no orders to purchase
Shares are received.

Share Purchases of the Money Market Fund


The Money Market Fund offers Shares only on days on which the New York Stock
Exchange and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston are open for business ("Business
Days"). In addition to the holidays listed above under "Pricing of Shares,"
other non-Business Days include Martin Luther King's Day, Columbus Day and
Veteran's Day. A customer of BayBanks may purchase Shares of the Money Market
Fund through BayBanks. If a purchase order is received through BayBanks on a
non-Business Day, the order will not be executed until the next Business Day in
accordance with the Distributor's procedures. All other investors should
purchase Shares directly from the Distributor. The Money Market Fund and the
Distributor reserve the right to reject any purchase request.


                                THROUGH BAYBANKS


A customer of BayBanks may telephone the BayBanks Trust Department toll-free at
1-800-462-9999. Participants in Employee Benefits programs should contact their
Plan Administrator. For the protection of investors, all phone communications
may be recorded where not otherwise prohibited by law.


Payment may be made to BayBanks either by check or Federal funds. If a purchase
order is received in good order and accepted by the Money Market Fund from the
Transfer Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day, it will be
executed at the net asset value next determined and Shares will begin earning
dividends that day. The Transfer Agent will not communicate a purchase order to
the Money Market Fund until BayBanks has received the purchase price in Federal
funds or other immediately available funds. If a purchase order is received in
good order and accepted by the Money Market Fund from the Transfer Agent after
2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and prior to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), it will be
executed at the net asset value next determined and Shares will begin earning
dividends the next Business Day. When Shares are purchased by check, the order
is considered received when the check is converted into Federal funds, normally
within two Business Days. When payment is made with Federal funds, they should
be wired to BayBanks as agent for the Transfer Agent as follows: ABA No.
0113-0235-7; Wire Order Number 0110-0174-2; Fiduciary Account Number 03000-002-

institution for wiring instructions.

To allow the Adviser to manage the Money Market Fund effectively, investors are
strongly encouraged to initiate all trades (purchases, redemptions, or
exchanges) as early in the day as possible. On those days when either the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston or the U.S. Government Bond Market closes early,
or, in the Adviser's judgment, closing early is deemed to be in the best
interest of the Money Market Fund's shareholders, the right is reserved to
advance the time on that day by which all transactions (purchases, redemptions,
or exchanges) must be received.

Texas residents must purchase Shares through Federated Securities Corp. at
1-800-356-2805.

The Treasury Fund sells Shares only on days on which the New York Stock Exchange
and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston are open for business ("Business Days").
In addition to the holidays listed above under "Pricing of Shares," other non-

                               WHEN PURCHASES OF
                            THE TREASURY FUND SHARES
                                 ARE EFFECTIVE

Orders by an Institution to purchase Shares received in good order and accepted
by the Treasury Fund from the Transfer Agent before 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on
a Business Day will be executed at the net asset value next determined and will
begin earning dividends that day. The Transfer Agent will not communicate
purchase orders to the Treasury Fund until the Transfer Agent receives Federal
funds or other available funds. Orders by an Institution to purchase Shares
received in good order and accepted by the Treasury Fund from the Transfer Agent
after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) and prior to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) will be
executed at the net asset value next determined and Shares will begin earning
dividends the next Business Day. Each Institution is responsible for
transmitting purchase orders promptly to the Treasury Fund in accordance with
the terms of its customer agreements. The Treasury Fund and the Distributor
reserve the right to reject any purchase order.

To allow the Adviser to manage the Treasury Fund effectively, investors are
strongly encouraged to initiate all trades (purchases, redemptions, or
exchanges) as early in the day as possible and to notify the Treasury Fund at
least one day in advance of transactions (purchases, exchanges or redemptions)
in excess of $5 million. On those days when either the Federal Reserve Bank of
Boston or the U.S. Government Bond Market closes early, or, in the Adviser's
judgment, closing early is deemed to be in the best interest of the Treasury
Fund's shareholders, the right is reserved to advance the time on that day by
which all transactions (purchases, exchanges and redemptions) must be received.

Exchanging Securities for Shares of the Funds

The Funds may accept securities in exchange for Shares. A Fund will allow such
exchanges only upon the prior approval of the Fund and a determination by the
Fund and its Adviser that the securities to be exchanged are acceptable.


Any securities exchanged must meet the investment objective and policies of the
Fund, must have a readily ascertainable market value, must be liquid and must
not be subject to restrictions on resale. The market value of any securities
exchanged in an initial investment, plus any cash, must be at least $100,000.


Securities accepted by a Fund will be valued in the same manner as the Fund
values its assets. The basis of the exchange will depend upon the net asset
value of Shares of the Fund on the day the securities are valued. One Share of
the Fund will be issued for each equivalent amount of securities accepted.


Any interest earned on the securities prior to the exchange will be considered
in valuing the securities. All interest, dividends, subscription or other rights
attached to the securities become the property of the Fund, along with the
securities.

                              EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES


BayFunds consists of the Funds, the BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio, the
BayFunds Equity Portfolio, and the BayFunds Bond Portfolio. Customers may access
the Institutional Shares of the other portfolios of BayFunds ("Participating
Funds") through an exchange program. In addition, institutions may purchase
BayFunds Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust with redemption proceeds
of a BayFunds portfolio. A customer of BayBanks may telephone the BayBanks Trust
Department toll-free at 1-800-462-9999. BayBanks Capital Markets customers
should call 1-800-554-3311. Participants in Employee Benefits programs should
contact their Plan Administrator. Procedures will be established by each
Institution in connection with the requirements of its customer accounts and the
Participating Funds. Customers should contact their Institution to obtain
further information on exchange privileges. Prior to any such exchange, a
customer must receive a copy of the current prospectus of the Participating Fund
into which an exchange is to be effected.


The exchange privilege is available to shareholders in any state in which
Participating Funds' shares being acquired may be sold.


                                REDEEMING SHARES

When Shares of the Money
Market May Be Redeemed

The Money Market Fund redeems Shares at their net asset value next determined
after the Money Market Fund has received the redemption request from the
Transfer Agent in proper form. Redemption requests can be executed only on
Business Days. If a redemption request is received through BayBanks on a
non-Business Day, the Transfer Agent will not communicate the redemption request
to the Money Market Fund until the next Business Day.

                                  BY TELEPHONE


A customer of BayBanks may telephone the BayBanks Trust Department toll-free at
1-800-462-9999. BayBanks Capital Markets customers should call 1-800-554-3311.
Participants in Employee Benefits programs should contact their Plan
Administrator. Redemption proceeds may be paid by check or paid by wire. The
Money Market Fund ordinarily will make payment for Shares redeemed after proper
receipt from the Transfer Agent of the redemption request the same day by wire
if the Money Market Fund receives the redemption request from the Transfer Agent
by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the day of redemption. Shares redeemed and wired
on the same day will not receive the dividend declared on the day of redemption.
Payment for Shares of the Money Market Fund redeemed by check will be within
five Business Days. The Money Market Fund reserves the right to wire redemption
proceeds within five Business Days after receiving the order if, in its
judgment, an earlier payment could adversely affect the Money Market Fund. If at
any time the Money Market Fund shall determine it necessary to terminate or
modify this method of redemption, shareholders would be promptly notified.


An authorization form permitting the Money Market Fund to accept telephone
requests must first be completed. Authorization forms and information on this
service are available from BayBanks or the Distributor.

In the event of drastic economic or market changes, a shareholder may experience
difficulty in redeeming by telephone. If such a case should occur, another
method of redemption, such as "By Mail," should be considered. The Money Market
Fund uses reasonable procedures (including a shareholder identity test and
sending a written confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that
instructions given by telephone are genuine. However, the Money Market Fund is
not responsible for the authenticity of telephone instructions or for any losses
caused by fraudulent or unauthorized telephone instructions if the Money Market
Fund reasonably believed that the instructions were genuine.


                                    BY MAIL


A shareholder who is a customer of BayBanks may redeem Shares of the Money
Market Fund by sending a written request to BayBanks. The written request should
include the shareholder's name, the Fund name, the class of shares name, the
account number, and the share or dollar amount requested, and should be signed
by each registered owner exactly as the Shares are registered. For assistance in
redeeming by mail, a customer of BayBanks may telephone the BayBanks Trust
Department toll-free at 1-800-462-9999. BayBanks Capital Markets customers
should call 1-800-554-3311. Participants in Employee Benefits programs should
contact their Plan Administrator.

Except for 401(k) plan participants and administrators, shareholders requesting
a redemption of $10,000 or more (no limitation if the proceeds are being
credited to a BayBanks deposit account), a redemption of any amount to be sent
to an address other than that on record with the Money Market Fund, a transfer
of the registration of Shares, or a redemption payable other than to the
shareholder of record, must have signatures on written redemption requests
guaranteed by:


  . a trust company or insured commercial bank;

  . an insured savings and loan association or a savings bank;

  . a member firm of a national or regional stock exchange; or

  . any other "eligible guarantor institution," as defined in the Securities
    Exchange Act of 1934.

The Transfer Agent has adopted standards for accepting signature guarantees from
the above institutions. The Money Market Fund may elect in the future to limit
eligible signature guarantees to institutions that are members of a signature
guarantee program. The Money Market Fund does not accept signatures guaranteed
by a notary public. The Money Market Fund and the Transfer Agent reserve the
right to amend these standards at any time without notice.

When Shares of the Treasury Fund May Be Redeemed

Shares of the Treasury Fund may be redeemed in accordance with procedures
established by an Institution in connection with the requirements of its
customer accounts. Procedures applicable to each Institution and each customer
account governing the redemption of Shares of the Treasury Fund will differ.
Customers should contact their Institution for further information. Each
Institution is responsible for transmitting redemption orders promptly to the
Treasury Fund and crediting customers' accounts with redemption proceeds on a
timely basis.

           WHEN REDEMPTIONS OF THE TREASURY FUND SHARES ARE EFFECTIVE

Redemption orders are effected at the net asset value per Share next determined
after proper receipt of the redemption request by the Treasury Fund from the
Transfer Agent in proper form. Institutions may transmit redemption orders by
telephoning the Transfer Agent. Payment for redemption orders received by the
Transfer Agent by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day will be wired the
same day to the Institution for credit to customer accounts that day. Shares so
redeemed will not be eligible to receive the dividend declared on the redemption
date. Payment for redemption orders received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) or
on a non-Business Day will normally be wired in Federal funds to the Institution
for credit to customer accounts on the next Business Day.

The Treasury Fund assesses no charges for wiring redemption proceeds. However,
Institutions may charge customer accounts for redemption services. Information
relating to such redemption services and charges, if any, are available from the
Institutions.

The Treasury Fund reserves the right to wire redemption proceeds within five
Business Days after receiving the redemption order if, in its judgment, an
earlier payment could adversely affect the Treasury Fund.


Redemptions Before Purchase Instruments Clear

If any portion of a Fund's Shares to be redeemed represents an investment made
with uncollected funds, the Fund reserves the right to delay payment of proceeds
until BayBanks is reasonably certain that the funds have been collected, which
could take up to five Business Days.


                            SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Balances in Accounts

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, the Money Market
Fund may redeem Trust Shares in any account and pay the proceeds to the
shareholder if, due to shareholder redemptions, the account balance falls below
the required minimum value of $10,000. In addition, the Treasury Fund may redeem
Institutional Shares if an Institution account falls below $100,000.

Before Shares of either Fund are redeemed to close an account, the shareholder
or the Institution, as applicable, will be notified in writing and allowed 60
days to purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum balance requirement of
such Fund. Each Fund reserves the right to amend this standard upon 60 days'
prior written notice. Each Fund also reserves the right to redeem its Shares
involuntarily or make payment for redemptions in the form of securities if it
appears appropriate to do so in light of its responsibilities under the ICA.
Customers of Institutions should consult their relevant account agreements for
any applicable balance requirements.


Confirmations and Statements


Monthly confirmations are sent to the Institutions or shareholder of record to
report transactions such as purchases and redemptions as well as dividends paid
during the month. With respect to the Treasury Fund, it is the responsibility of
the Institutions to provide their customers with confirmations and statements of
account with respect to Share transactions made for their accounts at the
Institutions in accordance with procedures established by the Institutions.

Share certificates are not issued. The Transfer Agent for the Money Market Fund
maintains a Share account for each shareholder of record. Shares of the Treasury
Fund will be held of record by the Institutions or in the name of a nominee of
the Institutions. Beneficial ownership of Shares of the Treasury Fund will be
recorded by the Institutions and reflected in statements of account provided by
the Institutions to their customers.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends from a Fund's net investment income are declared daily to shareholders
of record (normally the Institutions in the case of the Treasury Fund)
immediately following the 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) pricing of shares. With
respect to the Money Market Fund, dividends are paid monthly and will be
reinvested on payment dates in additional Shares of the Money Market Fund unless
cash payments are requested by writing to the Money Market Fund or BayBanks as
appropriate. With respect to the Treasury Fund, dividends are paid monthly
within five Business Days after the end of such calendar month.

Neither Fund expects to realize any net long-term capital gains. If for some
extraordinary reason a Fund realizes net long-term capital gains, it will
distribute them at least annually.

Institutions may elect to (a) have their dividends and distributions
automatically reinvested in additional Shares of the Treasury Fund at the net
asset value next determined on the payment dates, (b) receive their dividends
and distributions in cash, or (c) receive a combination of additional Shares of
the Treasury Fund and cash. It is expected that customers of an Institution's
automatic investment program will receive all dividends and distributions of the
Treasury Fund in cash credited to their account pursuant to the terms of their
agreement with an Institution; all other customers should contact their
Institution for further information about dividend elections.

Voting Rights

Each Share of a Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All shares of each portfolio
in BayFunds have equal voting rights, except that, in matters affecting only a
particular fund or class, only shares of that particular fund or class are
entitled to vote.


As a Massachusetts business trust, BayFunds is not required to hold annual
shareholder meetings. Shareholder approval will be sought only for certain
changes in BayFunds' or a Fund's operation and for the election of Trustees
under certain circumstances. As of March 30, 1994, Slatt & Co., Burlington,
Massachusetts, acting in various capacities for numerous accounts, was the owner
of record of 144,009,069 Shares (99.36%) of the Money Market Fund and
188,750,949 Shares (30.80%) of the Treasury Fund and, therefore, may for certain
purposes, be deemed to control the Funds and be able to affect the outcome of
certain matters presented for a vote of shareholders. As of March 30, 1994,
Express & Co., Boston, Massachusetts, acting in various capacities for numerous
accounts, was the owner of record of 424,138,995 Shares (69.20%) of the Treasury
Fund, and therefore, may for certain purposes, be deemed to control the Treasury
Fund and be able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote
of shareholders. Trustees may be removed by a two-thirds vote of the number of
Trustees prior to such removal or by a two-thirds vote of the shareholders at a
special meeting. A special meeting of shareholders shall be called by the
Trustees upon the written request of shareholders owning at least 10% of
BayFunds' outstanding shares of all portfolios entitled to vote.


                              AUTHORITY TO ACT AS
                              INVESTMENT ADVISERS

The Glass-Steagall Act and other banking laws and regulations presently prohibit
a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, or any affiliate thereof from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company continuously engaged in the issuance of
its shares, and from issuing, underwriting, selling or distributing securities
in general. Such laws and regulations do not prohibit such a holding company or
affiliate from acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such
an investment company or from purchasing shares of such a company as agent for
and upon the order of their customer. Each Fund's investment adviser, BayBanks
Investment Management, Inc. and BayBank Boston, N.A., is subject to such banking
laws and regulations.

The Advisers believe that they may perform the investment advisory services for
the Funds contemplated by their advisory agreements with BayFunds without
violating the Glass-Steagall Act or other applicable banking laws or
regulations. Changes in either federal or state statutes and regulations
relating to the permissible activities of banks and their subsidiaries or
affiliates, as well as further judicial or administrative decisions or
interpretations of present or future statutes and regulations, could prevent the
Advisers from continuing to perform all or a part of the above services for
their customers and/or the Funds. In such event, changes in the operation of the
Funds may occur, including the possible alteration or termination of any
automatic or other Fund share investment and redemption services then being
provided, and the Trustees would consider alternative investment advisers and
other means of continuing available investment services. It is not expected that
Fund shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences (if another
adviser with equivalent abilities to BayBanks Investment Management, Inc.
and/or BayBank Boston, N.A., is found) as a result of any of these occurrences.

State securities laws governing the ability of depository institutions to act as
underwriters or distributors of securities may differ from interpretations given
to the Glass-Steagall Act and, therefore, banks and financial institutions may
be required to register as dealers pursuant to state laws.

                                TAX INFORMATION

Federal Income Tax

Each Fund intends to meet requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies in order not to be liable for any Federal
income taxes on income and gains distributed to the Fund's shareholders. Each
Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized gains at least annually.

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for Federal income tax
purposes.

Unless otherwise exempt, shareholders are required to pay Federal income tax on
any dividends and other distributions received. This applies whether dividends
and distributions are received in cash or as additional shares. Distributions
from a Fund's net investment income and short-term capital gains will be taxed
as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction
available to corporations.

Early each year, each Fund will notify its shareholders of the amount and tax
status of distributions paid to the shareholder for the preceding year.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the status of
their accounts under state and local tax laws.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
performance and yield of the Funds may be quoted and compared to those of other
mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant money market
indices or to rankings prepared by independent services or other financial or
industry publications that monitor the performance of mutual funds. For example,
the performance of the Funds may be compared to data prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., a widely recognized independent service which
monitors the performance of mutual funds.

National financial publications in which performance and yield data are reported
include The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, or Money magazine.
Publications of a local or regional nature, such as The Boston Globe or The
Boston Herald, may also be used in comparing the performance and yield of the
Funds.

The yield of the Shares represents the annualized rate of income earned on an
investment in the Shares over a seven-day period. It is the annualized dividends
earned during the period on the investment shown as a percentage of the
investment. The effective yield is calculated similarly to the yield, but, when
annualized, the income earned by an investment in the Shares is assumed to be
reinvested daily. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.

Advertisements and other sales literature may also refer to total return. Total
return represents the change, over a specified period of time, in the value of
an investment in the Shares after reinvesting all income distributions. It is
calculated by dividing that change by the initial investment and is expressed as
a percentage.

Yield, effective yield and total return will be calculated separately for Trust
Shares of the Money Market Fund, Institutional Shares of the Treasury Fund and
Investment Shares of each of the Funds. Because Investment Shares of the Funds
are subject to shareholder servicing fees, the yield, effective yield and total
return of the Trust Shares of the Money Market Fund and Institutional Shares of
the Treasury Fund for the same period will exceed that of Investment Shares of
the corresponding Fund.

                            OTHER CLASSES OF SHARES


Investment Shares of the Funds are sold primarily to individuals who purchase
shares through BayBanks and its affiliates. Investment Shares of the Funds are
sold at net asset value. Investments in Investment Shares of the Funds may be
subject to a minimum initial investment of $2,500, or $500 if in connection with
participation in the Automatic Investment Program or through an IRA. Investment
Shares are sold at net asset value and are subject to a shareholder servicing
fee.

The amount of dividends payable to Trust Shares of the Money Market Fund and
Institutional Shares of the Treasury Fund will exceed that of Investment Shares
of the corresponding Fund by the difference between Class Expenses and
shareholder servicing fees borne by shares of each respective class of shares of
the Fund. (Currently, there are no differences in Class Expenses other than
shareholder servicing fees.)


The stated advisory fee is the same for both classes of shares of the Fund.

General Information About the Funds
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds are portfolios in BayFunds, which was established as a Massachusetts
business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated April 1, 1991.

The portfolios in BayFunds are: BayFunds Money Market Portfolio; BayFunds U.S.
Treasury Money Market Portfolio; BayFunds Bond Portfolio; BayFunds Equity
Portfolio; and BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio. This combined Statement of
Additional Information relates only to the Money Market Fund and Treasury Fund.

The Money Market Fund and Treasury Fund are offered in two classes of shares.
The Money Market Fund is offered in Trust and Investment Shares. The Treasury
Fund is offered in Institutional and Investment Shares. Collectively the classes
will be referred to as "Shares."

Investment Objective and Policies of the Funds
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The prospectus for each Fund discusses the Fund's investment objective and the
policies each Fund employs to achieve that objective. The following discussion
supplements the description of each Fund's investment policies in the Fund's
prospectus. The Funds' investment objectives cannot be changed without approval
of shareholders. Unless indicated otherwise, the investment policies described
in the prospectus of each Fund may be changed by the Board of Trustees
("Trustees") without the approval of each Fund's shareholders. Shareholders will
be notified before any material changes in these policies become effective.

Types of Investments

The Treasury Fund invests primarily in short-term U.S. Treasury obligations with
remaining maturities of 397 days or less. These may include direct obligations
of the U.S. Treasury (such as U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds) and
obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S.
government. Examples of such obligations are:

  . Export-Import Bank;

  . General Services Administration;

  . Government National Mortgage Association; and

  . Small Business Administration.

The following policies apply to the Money Market Fund only.

The Money Market Fund invests primarily in money market instruments with
remaining maturities of 397 days or less and which include, but are not limited
to, commercial paper, demand master notes, domestic and foreign bank
instruments, U.S. government obligations, corporate debt obligations and
repurchase agreements.

     Bank Instruments

       The instruments of domestic banks and savings and loans whose deposits
       are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings Association
       Insurance Fund, both of which are administered by the Federal Deposit
       Insurance Corporation, such as certificates of deposit, demand and time
       deposits, savings shares, and bankers' acceptances, are not necessarily
       guaranteed by those organizations.

       In addition, the Fund may invest in the following U.S. dollar-denominated
       instruments:

        . Eurodollar Certificates of Deposit which are issued by foreign
          branche of U.S. or foreign banks;

        . Eurodollar Time Deposits, which are deposits in foreign branches of
          U.S. or foreign banks;

        . Canadian Time Deposits, which are deposits issued by branches of major
          Canadian banks located in the United States; and

        . Yankee Certificates of Deposit, which are certificates of deposit
          issued by U.S. branches of foreign banks and held in the United
          States.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities

The ability of the Trustees to determine the liquidity of certain restricted
securities is permitted under the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
Staff position set forth in the adopting release for Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933. Rule 144A is a non-exclusive safe harbor for certain
secondary market transactions involving securities subject to restrictions on
resale under federal securities laws. Rule 144A provides an exemption from
registration for resales of otherwise restricted securities to qualified
institutional buyers. Rule 144A was expected to further enhance the liquidity of
the secondary market for securities eligible for resale under Rule 144A. The
Money Market Fund believes that the Staff of the SEC has left the question of
determining the liquidity of all restricted securities (eligible for resale
under Rule 144A) to the Trustees. The Trustees consider the following criteria
in determining the liquidity of certain restricted securities:

  . the frequency of trades and quotes for the security;

  . the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security and the
    number of other potential buyers;

  . dealer undertakings to make a market in the security; and

  . the nature of the security and the nature of the marketplace trades.

The following policies apply to both Funds.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

These transactions are arrangements in which the Funds purchase securities with
payment and delivery scheduled for a later time.

These transactions are made to secure what is considered to be an advantageous
price and yield for a Fund. Settlement dates may be a month or more after
entering into these transactions, and the market values of the securities
purchased may vary from the purchase prices.

No fees or other expenses, other than normal transaction costs, are incurred.
However, liquid assets of a Fund sufficient to make payment for the securities
to be purchased are segregated at the trade date. These securities are marked to
market daily and maintained until the transaction is settled.

As a matter of policy, each Fund does not intend to engage in when-issued and
delayed delivery transactions to an extent that would cause the segregation of
more than 20% of the total value of its assets.

Repurchase Agreements

The Funds or their custodian will take possession of the securities subject to
repurchase agreements, and these securities will be marked to market daily. To
the extent that the original seller does not repurchase the securities from a
Fund, the Fund could receive less than the repurchase price on any sale of such
securities. In the event that such a defaulting seller filed for bankruptcy or
became insolvent, disposition of such securities by the Fund might be delayed
pending court action. The Funds believe that under the regular procedures
normally in effect for custody of the Funds' portfolio securities subject to
repurchase agreements, a court of competent jurisdiction would rule in favor of
the Funds and allow retention or disposition of such securities. The Funds will
only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial
institutions such as broker/dealers which are deemed by the Funds' advisers to
be creditworthy pursuant to guidelines established by the Trustees.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements. These transactions
are similar to borrowing cash. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund
transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another person, such as a
financial institution, broker, or dealer, in return for a percentage of the
instrument's market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the
future the Fund will repurchase the portfolio instrument by remitting the
original consideration plus interest at an agreed upon rate.

When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, liquid assets of a Fund, in a
dollar amount sufficient to make payment for the obligations to be purchased,
are segregated at the trade date. These securities are marked to market daily
and maintained until the transaction is settled.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

The collateral received when each Fund lends portfolio securities must be valued
daily and, should the market value of the loaned securities increase, the
borrower must furnish additional collateral to the Fund. During the time
portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays a Fund any dividends or
interest paid on such securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option
of a Fund or the borrower. A Fund may pay reasonable administrative and
custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a negotiated portion of the
interest earned on the cash or equivalent collateral to the borrower or placing
broker.

Investment Limitations

     Selling Short and Buying on Margin

       The Funds will not sell any securities short or purchase any securities
       on margin but may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for
       clearance of transactions.

     Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money

     (Applicable to the Money Market Fund Only)

       The Money Market Fund will not issue senior securities except that the
       Money Market Fund may borrow money directly or through reverse repurchase
       agreements in amounts up to one-third of the value of its total assets
       including the amounts borrowed. The Money Market Fund will not borrow
       money or engage in reverse repurchase agreements for investment
       leverage, but rather as a temporary, extraordinary, or emergency measure
       or to facilitate management of the portfolio by enabling the Money
       Market Fund to meet redemption requests when the liquidation of
       portfolio securities is deemed to be inconvenient or disadvantageous.
       The Money Market Fund will not purchase any securities while borrowings
       in excess of 5% of the value of its total assets are outstanding. The
       Money Market Fund has no present intention to borrow money or engage in
       reverse repurchase agreements except as a temporary measure for
       extraordinary or emergency purposes and not in an amount in excess of
       5% of the Money Market Fund's net assets.

     Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money

     (Applicable to the Treasury Fund Only)

       The Treasury Fund will not issue senior securities except that the
       Treasury Fund may borrow money directly or through reverse repurchase
       agreements as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes
       and then only in amounts not in excess of one-third of the value of the
       Treasury Fund's total assets; provided that, while borrowings exceed 5%
       of the Treasury Fund's total assets, any such borrowings will be repaid
       before additional investments are made. The Treasury Fund will not borrow
       money or engage in reverse repurchase agreements for investment leverage
       purposes. The Treasury Fund has no present intention to borrow money or
       engage in reverse repurchase agreements in an amount in excess of 5% of
       the Treasury Fund's net assets.

     Pledging Assets

       The Funds will not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any assets except to
       secure permitted borrowings. In those cases, a Fund may pledge assets
       having a market value not exceeding the lesser of the dollar amounts
       borrowed or 15% of the value of total assets of a Fund at the time of the
       pledge.

     Lending Cash or Securities

       The Funds will not lend any of their assets, except portfolio securities
       up to one-third of the value of their total assets. This shall not
       prevent the Funds from purchasing or holding bonds, debentures, notes,
       certificates of indebtedness, or other debt securities, entering into
       repurchase agreements, or engaging in other transactions where permitted
       by the Funds' investment objective, policies, and limitations or its
       Declaration of Trust.

     Investing in Commodities and Real Estate

       The Funds will not purchase or sell commodities, commodity contracts, or
       commodity futures contracts. The Funds will not purchase or sell real
       estate, including real estate limited partnerships, although they may
       invest in securities of issuers whose business involves the purchase or
       sale of real estate or in securities which are secured by real estate or
       interests in real estate.

     Concentration of Investments

       The Money Market Fund will not invest more than 25% of the value of its
       total assets in any one industry, except it may invest more than 25% of
       the value of its total assets in time and demand deposits, certificates
       of deposit, and other instruments of domestic banks, and U.S. branches of
       foreign banks, or U.S. government obligations, or instruments secured by
       these money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements for U.S.
       government obligations.

     Diversification of Investments

       With respect to 75% of the value of their total assets, the Funds will
       not purchase securities issued by any one issuer (other than cash, cash
       items or securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United
       States or its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements
       collateralized by such securities) if as a result more than 5% of the
       value of their total assets at the time of purchase would be invested in
       the securities of that issuer.

     Underwriting

       The Funds will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as they may
       be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in
       connection with the sale of securities in accordance with their
       investment objective, policies and limitations.

     Investing in Restricted Securities

       The Funds will not purchase restricted securities if immediately
       thereafter more than 10% (for the Money Fund) or 5% (for the Treasury
       Fund) of the net assets of the Fund, as applicable, taken at market
       value, would be invested in such securities (except for commercial
       paper issued under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and
       certain other restricted securities which meet the criteria for
       liquidity as established by the Trustees).

The above investment limitations cannot be changed without shareholder approval.
The Funds do not consider the issuance of separate classes of shares to involve
the issuance of "senior securities" within the meaning of the investment
limitation set forth above. The following limitations, however, may be changed
by the Trustees without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified
before any material change in these limitations becomes effective.

     Investing in Illiquid Securities

       The Funds will not invest more than 10% of the value of their net assets
       in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements providing for
       settlement more than seven days after notice, certain restricted
       securities determined by the Trustees not to be liquid, and
       non-negotiable time deposits with maturities over seven days.

     Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies

       The Funds will limit their investment in other investment companies that
       are money market funds having investment objectives and policies similar
       to their own, to no more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of
       any such investment company, invest not more than 5% of their total
       assets in any one investment company, or invest no more than 10% of their
       total assets in investment companies in general. The Funds will purchase
       securities of closed-end investment companies only in open market
       transactions involving only customary brokers' commissions. However,
       these limitations are not applicable if the securities are acquired in a
       merger, consolidation, or acquisition of assets. It should be noted that
       investment companies incur certain expenses such as management fees, and,
       therefore, any investment by a Fund in shares of another investment
       company would be subject to such duplicate expenses. The Funds will
       invest in other investment companies primarily for the purpose of
       investing their short-term cash on a temporary basis. The advisers will
       waive their investment advisory fee on assets invested in securities of
       open-end investment companies.

     Investing in New Issuers

       The Money Market Fund will not invest more than 5% of the value of its
       total assets in securities of issuers which have records of less than
       three years of continuous operations, including the operations of any
       predecessor.

     Investing in Issuers Whose Securities Are Owned by Officers and Trustees of
     BayFunds

       The Money Market Fund will not purchase or retain the securities of any
       issuer if the officers and Trustees of BayFunds the Funds' investment
       advisers owning individually more than 1/2 of 1% of the issuer's
       securities together own more than 5% of the issuer's securities.

     Arbitrage Transactions

       The Funds will not enter into transactions for the purpose of engaging in
       arbitrage.

     Dealing in Puts And Calls

       The Funds will not invest in puts, calls, straddles, spreads or any
       combination of them.

     Investing in Minerals

       The Money Market Fund will not purchase interests in oil, gas, or other
       mineral exploration or development programs or leases, except it may
       purchase the securities of issuers which invest in or sponsor such
       programs.

Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to
at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting
from any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction.

The Funds do not expect to borrow money or pledge securities in excess of 5% of
the value of their net assets during the coming fiscal year.


The Funds consider instruments issued by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank having
capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 at the time of
investment to be "cash items."

Trustee Liability

BayFunds' Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees are not liable for
errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. However, they are not protected
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of their office.
Investment Advisory Services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advisers to the Funds

The Money Market Fund's investment adviser is BayBanks Investment Management,
Inc. ("BBIM"). The Treasury Fund's investment adviser is BayBank Boston, N.A.
("BBNA"). BBIM and BBNA will collectively be referred to as the "advisers." The
advisers are wholly-owned subsidiaries of BayBanks, Inc., a bank holding company
organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with a number of
commercial bank subsidiaries. Collectively, these bank subsidiaries are referred
to in this Statement of Additional Information as "BayBanks."

The advisers shall not be liable to BayFunds, the Funds or any shareholder of
the Funds for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale
of any security, or for anything done or omitted by them, except acts or
omissions involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of the duties imposed upon them by their contracts with
BayFunds.

Because of the internal controls maintained by BayBanks to restrict the flow of
non-public information, Fund investments are typically made without any
knowledge of BayBanks or its affiliates' lending relationships with an issuer.

Advisory Fees


For their advisory services, the advisers receive an annual investment advisory
fee as described in the prospectuses.

For the period from May 16, 1991 (start of business) to April 30, 1992, and the
years ended December 31, 1992 and 1993, the adviser earned fees from Money
Market Fund of $745,003, $781,926, and $893,521, respectively, of which
$223,422, $48,529, and $192,825, respectively, was voluntarily waived.

For the period from January 29, 1993 (date of initial public investment) to
December 31, 1993, the adviser earned fees from Treasury Fund in the amount of
$851,157.


     State Expense Limitation

       The advisers have undertaken to comply with the expense limitation
       established by certain states for investment companies whose shares are
       registered for sale in those states. If a Fund's normal operating
       expenses (including the investment advisory fee, but not including
       brokerage commissions, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses)
       exceed 2-1/2% per year of the first $30 million of average net assets, 2%
       per year of the next $70 million of average net assets, and 1-1/2% per
       year of the remaining average net assets, each of the advisers has agreed
       to reimburse the Funds for its expenses over the limitation up to the
       amount of the advisory fee.

       If a Fund's monthly projected operating expenses exceed this limitation,
       the investment advisory fee paid will be reduced by the amount of the
       excess, subject to an annual adjustment. If the expense limitation is
       exceeded, the amount to be reimbursed by an adviser will be limited, in
       any single fiscal year, by the amount of the investment advisory fee.

       This arrangement is not part of the advisory contracts and may be amended
       or rescinded in the future.

     Expenses of a Fund and Shares

       Each Fund pays all of its own expenses and its allocable share of
       BayFunds' expenses. The expenses borne by a Fund include, but are not
       limited to, the cost of: organizing BayFunds and continuing its
       existence; Trustee fees; investment advisory and administrative services;
       printing prospectuses and other Fund documents for shareholders;
       registering BayFunds, the Fund, and the shares with federal and state
       securities authorities; taxes and commissions; issuing, purchasing,
       repurchasing, and redeeming shares; fees for custodians, transfer agents,
       dividend disbursing agents, portfolio accounting services, and
       registrars; printing, mailing, auditing, accounting, and legal expenses;
       reports to shareholders and governmental agencies; meetings of Trustees
       and shareholders and proxy solicitations therefor; insurance premiums;
       association membership dues; and such non-recurring and extraordinary
       items as may arise.

       At present, the only expenses allocated to shares as a class are expenses
       under the Fund's Shareholder Servicing Plan which relate to the
       Investment Shares. However, the Trustees reserve the right to allocate
       certain other expenses to holders of shares as it deems appropriate
       ("Class Expenses"). In any case, Class Expenses would be limited to:
       transfer agent fees as identified by the Transfer Agent as attributable
       to holders of a class of shares; printing and postage expenses related to
       preparing and distributing materials such as shareholder reports,
       prospectuses and proxies to current shareholders; registration fees paid
       to the Securities and Exchange Commission and registration fees paid to
       states; expenses related to administrative personnel and service as
       required to support holders of a class of shares; legal fees relating
       solely to a class of shares; and Trustees' fees incurred as a result of
       issues relating solely to a class of shares.

Brokerage Transactions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When selecting brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio
instruments, the advisers look for prompt execution of the order at a favorable
price. In working with dealers, the advisers will generally use those who are
recognized dealers in specific portfolio instruments, except when a better price
and execution of the order can be obtained elsewhere. The advisers make
decisions on portfolio transactions and select brokers and dealers subject to
review by the Trustees.

The advisers may select brokers and dealers who offer brokerage and research
services. These services may be furnished directly to the Funds or to the
advisers and may include:

  . advice as to the advisability of investing in securities;

  . security analysis and reports;

  . economic studies;

  . industry studies;

  . receipt of quotations for portfolio evaluations; and

  . similar services.

The advisers exercise reasonable business judgment in selecting brokers who
offer brokerage and research services to execute securities transactions. They
determine in good faith that commissions charged by such persons are reasonable
in relationship to the value of the brokerage and research services provided.

Research services provided by brokers and dealers may be used by the advisers in
advising the Funds and other accounts. To the extent that receipt of these
services may supplant services for which the advisers or their affiliates might
otherwise have paid, it would tend to reduce expenses.

As of December 31, 1993, Money Market Fund owned approximately $9,493,000 of the
securities of Dean Witter Discover & Co.; and $9,447,000 of the securities of
Merrill Lynch & Co., both of whom are its regular brokers that derive more than
15% of gross revenues from securities-related activities.


Shareholder Servicing Arrangements

For the period ended December 31, 1993, Money Market Fund did not pay any fees
under the Shareholder Services Plan. Treasury Fund paid BayBanks Systems, Inc.
$38,154 in shareholder services fees.


Administrative Services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Federated Administrative Services, a subsidiary of Federated Investors, provides
administrative personnel and services to the Funds for fees as described in the
prospectuses. For the period from May 16, 1991 (start of business) to
April 30, 1992 and the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1993, the Money Market
Fund incurred costs for administrative service fees of $277,092, $286,304, and
$263,548, respectively, of which $53,154, $49,869, and $15,149 were voluntarily
waived.

For the period from January 29, 1993 (date of initial public investment) to
December 31, 1993, the Treasury Fund incurred costs for administrative fees of
$478,865, of which $238,788 was voluntarily waived.

In addition, Federated Administrative Services reimbursed $48,336 to Money
Market Fund for the year ended December 31, 1993, and $59,801 to Treasury Fund
for the period from January 29, 1993 (date of initial public investment) to
December 31, 1993.


Purchasing Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The procedures for purchasing Shares are explained in the prospectus of each
Fund.


Conversion to Federal Funds

It is the Funds' policy to be as fully invested as possible so that maximum
interest may be earned. To this end, all payments from shareholders must be in
Federal funds or be converted into Federal funds. BayBanks acts as the
shareholder's agent in depositing checks and converting them to Federal funds.


Exchanging Securities for Fund Shares

Each Fund may accept securities in exchange for Shares. A Fund will allow such
exchanges only upon the prior approval of the Fund and a determination by the
Fund and its Adviser that the securities to be exchanged are acceptable.

Any securities exchanged must meet the investment objective and policies of the
Fund, must have a readily ascertainable market value and must be liquid. The
market value of any securities exchanged in an initial investment, plus any
cash, must be at least $100,000.

Securities accepted by the Fund will be valued in the same manner as the Fund
values its assets. The basis of the exchange will depend upon the net asset
value of Shares on the day the securities are valued. One Share of the Fund will
be issued for each equivalent amount of securities accepted.

Any interest earned on the securities prior to the exchange will be considered
in valuing the securities. All interest, dividends, subscription or other rights
attached to the securities become the property of the Fund, along with the
securities.


Determining Net Asset Value
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds attempt to stabilize the value of a share at $1.00. The days on which
net asset value is calculated by the Funds are described in the prospectuses.

Use of the Amortized Cost Method

The Trustees have decided that the best method for determining the value of
portfolio instruments is amortized cost. Under this method, portfolio
instruments are valued at the acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of
premium or accumulation of discount rather than at current market value.

The Funds' use of the amortized cost method of valuing portfolio instruments
depends on their compliance with Rule 2a-7 (the "Rule") promulgated by the SEC
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Rule, the Trustees must
establish procedures reasonably designed to stabilize the net asset value per
share, as computed for purposes of distribution and redemption, at $1.00 per
share, taking into account current market conditions and the Funds' investment
objectives.

     Monitoring Procedures

       The Trustees' procedures include monitoring the relationship between the
       amortized cost value per share and the net asset value per share based
       upon available indications of market value. The Trustees will decide
       what, if any, steps should be taken if there is a difference of more than
       .5 of 1% between the two values. The Trustees will take any steps they
       consider appropriate (such as redemption in kind or shortening the
       average portfolio maturity) to minimize any material dilution or other
       unfair results arising from differences between the two methods of
       determining net asset value.

     Investment Restrictions

       The Rule requires that the Funds limit their investments to instruments
       that, in the opinion of the Trustees, present minimal credit risks and
       have received the requisite rating from one or more nationally recognized
       statistical rating organizations. If the instruments are not rated, the
       Trustees must determine that they are of comparable quality. In
       purchasing shares of other investment companies, the Trustees will review
       each company's stated investment policies for consistency with Rule 2a-7.
       The Rule also requires the Funds to maintain a dollar-weighted average
       portfolio maturity (not more than 90 days) appropriate to the objective
       of maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. In addition,
       no instruments with a remaining maturity of more than 397 days can be
       purchased by the Funds.

Should the disposition of a portfolio security result in a dollar-weighted
average portfolio maturity of more than 90 days, the Funds will invest their
available cash to reduce the average maturity to 90 days or less as soon as
possible.

The Funds may attempt to increase yield by trading portfolio securities to take
advantage of short-term market variations. This policy may, from time to time,
result in high portfolio turnover. Under the amortized cost method of valuation,
neither the amount of daily income nor the net asset value is affected by any
unrealized appreciation or depreciation of the portfolio.

In periods of declining interest rates, the indicated daily yield on shares of
the Funds computed by dividing the annualized daily income on the Funds'
portfolios by the net asset value computed as above may tend to be higher than a
similar computation made by using a method of valuation based upon market prices
and estimates.

In periods of rising interest rates, the indicated daily yield on shares of the
Funds computed the same way may tend to be lower than a similar computation made
by using a method of calculation based upon market prices and estimates.


Exchange Privileges
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Requirements for Exchange

Upon receipt of proper instructions and required supporting documents, shares
submitted for exchange are redeemed and the proceeds invested in shares of the
other Participating Fund.

Please review the Fund prospectus for further information on the exchange
privileges.

Making an Exchange

Instructions for exchanges may be given in writing. Written instructions may
require a signature guarantee.


Redeeming Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds redeem Shares at the next computed net asset value after the Funds
receive the redemption request from the Funds' transfer agent in proper form.
Redemption procedures are explained in each Fund's prospectus.

Redemption in Kind

Although the Funds intend to redeem Shares in cash, they reserve the right under
certain circumstances to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of securities from the respective Fund's portfolio.

Redemption in kind will be made in conformity with applicable SEC rules, taking
such securities at the same value employed in determining net asset value and
selecting the securities in a manner the Trustees determine to be fair and
equitable.

BayFunds has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, which obligates the Funds to redeem Shares for any one shareholder
in cash only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the
respective class during any 90-day period.

Redemption in kind is not as liquid as cash redemption. If redemption is made in
kind, shareholders receiving their securities and selling them before their
maturity could receive less than the redemption value of their securities and
could incur transaction costs.

     Monthly Statements

       Shareholders of the Funds who have eligible BayBanks deposit accounts
       will receive combined monthly statements containing all information
       relating to their deposit account(s) and BayFunds transactions.

     Companion Account Availability

       Certain BayBanks deposit account customers may elect to open a companion
       BayFunds account to facilitate BayFunds transactions.

Massachusetts Law
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under certain circumstances, shareholders may be held personally liable under
Massachusetts law for acts or obligations of BayFunds. To protect shareholders,
BayFunds has filed legal documents with Massachusetts that expressly disclaim
the liability of shareholders for such acts or obligations of BayFunds. These
documents require notice of this disclaimer to be given in each agreement,
obligation, or instrument BayFunds or its Trustees enter into or sign.

In the unlikely event a shareholder is held personally liable for BayFunds'
obligations, BayFunds is required, by its Declaration of Trust, to use its
property to protect or compensate the shareholder. On request, BayFunds will
defend any claim made and pay any judgment against a shareholder for any act or
obligation of BayFunds. Therefore, financial loss resulting from liability as a
shareholder will occur only if BayFunds cannot meet its obligations to indemnify
shareholders and pay judgments against them from its assets.

Tax Status
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds' Tax Status

The Funds intend to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies in order not to be
liable for Federal income taxes on income and gains distributed to Fund
shareholders. To qualify for this treatment, a Fund must, among other
requirements:

  . derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, and gains
    from the sale of securities;

  . derive less than 30% of its gross income from the sale of securities held,
    or deemed held, less than three months;

  . diversify its holdings according to certain statutory requirements; and

  . distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its taxable and tax-exempt
    income earned during the year.

The Funds will distribute substantially all of their net investment income and
net realized gains at least annually.

Shareholders' Tax Status

Shareholders are subject to Federal income tax on dividends and any short-term
capital gains received as cash or additional shares. No portion of any income
dividend paid by a Fund is eligible for the dividends received deduction
available to corporations. These dividends and any short-term capital gains are
taxable as ordinary income.

     Capital Gains

       Capital gains experienced by a Fund could result in an increase in
       dividends. Capital losses could result in a decrease in dividends. If for
       some extraordinary reason a Fund realizes net long-term capital gains, it
       will distribute them at least once every 12 months.

Yield
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds calculate their yield for both classes of shares daily, based upon the
seven days ending on the day of the calculation, called the "base period." This
yield is computed by:

  . determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical account with a
    balance of one share at the beginning of the base period, with the net
    change excluding capital changes but including the value of any additional
    shares purchased with dividends earned from the original one share and all
    dividends declared on the original and any purchased shares;

  . dividing the net change in the account's value by the value of the account
    at the beginning of the base period to determine the base period return; and
    multiplying the base period return by (365/7).

To the extent that financial institutions and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in either
class of shares, the performance will be reduced for those shareholders paying
those fees.


The yields for the seven day period ended December 31, 1993 for Trust Shares of
Money Market Fund and Institutional Shares of Treasury Fund were 2.69% and
2.89%, respectively, and 2.69% and 2.64% for the Investment Shares of Money
Market Fund and Treasury Fund, respectively.


Effective Yield
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The effective yield for both classes of shares of each Fund is computed by
compounding the unannualized base period return by:

  . adding 1 to the base period return;

  . raising the sum to the 365/7th power; and

  . subtracting 1 from the result.

The effective yields for the seven day period ended December 31, 1993 for Trust
Shares of the Money Market Fund and Institutional Shares of Treasury Fund were
2.73% and 2.93%, respectively, and 2.73% and 2.67% for the Investment Shares of
Money Market Fund and Treasury Fund, respectively.

Performance Comparisons
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The performance of both classes of shares of each Fund depends upon such
variables as:

  . portfolio quality;

  . average portfolio maturity;

  . type of instruments in which the portfolio is invested;

  . changes in interest rates on money market instruments;

  . changes in a Fund's or of either class of its shares expenses; and

  . the relative amount of a Fund's cash flow.

From time to time the Funds may advertise their performance of both classes of
shares compared to similar funds or portfolios.


Investors may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more
complete view of the Fund's performance. When comparing performance, investors
should consider all relevant factors such as the composition of any index used,
prevailing market conditions, portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods
used to value portfolio securities and compute offering price. The financial
publications and/or indices which the Fund uses in advertising may include:


  . Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., ranks funds in various fund categories by
    making comparative calculations using total return. Total return assumes the
    reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gains distributions, if
    any.

    From time to time, a Fund will quote its Lipper ranking in the "general
    money market funds" category in advertising and sales literature.

  . Bank Rate Monitor National Index, Miami Beach, Florida, is a financial
    reporting service which publishes weekly average rates of 50 leading banks
    and thrift institution money market deposit accounts. The rates published
    in the index are an average of the personal account rates offered on the
    Wednesday prior to the date of publication by ten of the largest banks and
    thrifts in each of the five largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical
    Areas. Account minimums range upward from $2,500 in each institution and
    compounding methods vary. If more than one rate is offered, the lowest
    rate is used. Rates are subject to change at any time specified by the
    institution.

  . Donoghue's Money Fund Report publishes annualized yields of hundreds of
    money market funds on a weekly basis and through its Money Market Insight
    publication reports monthly and year-to-date investment results for the
    same money funds.

Advertisements and other sales literature for both classes of shares of either
Fund may refer to total return. Total return is the historic change in the value
of an investment in either Funds' classes of shares based on the monthly
reinvestment of dividends over a specified period of time.

Standard and Poor's Corporation Corporate Bond Rating Definitions

AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
Corporation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

AA--Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Corporate Bond Rating Definitions

Aaa--Bonds which are 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 by an 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 which are rated Aa are judged to be of 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 as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective
elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present
which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

Fitch Investors Service, Inc., Bond Rating Definitions

AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality.
The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay
principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA--Bonds 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."

Standard and Poor's Corporation Commercial Paper Rating Definitions

A-1--This highest category indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely
payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety
characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.

A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated A-1.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Commercial Paper Rating Definitions

P-1--Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics:

     --Leading market positions in well established industries.
     --High rates of return on funds employed.
     --Conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and
       ample asset protection.
     --Broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges and high
       internal cash generation.
     --Well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured
       sources of alternate liquidity.

P-2--Issuers rated Prime-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally
be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above, but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Fitch Investors Service, Inc., Short-Term Debt Rating Definitions

F-1+--Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating are
regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

F-1--Very Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating reflect an
assurance for timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues rated
F-1+.

F-2--Good Credit Quality. Issues carrying this rating have a satisfactory degree
of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not as great as the
F-1+ and F-1 ratings.


                                                               1042301B (4/94)

Investment Objective and Policies

BayFunds offers you a convenient and affordable way to participate in five
separate, professionally managed, diversified investment portfolios with
distinct investment objectives and policies. This prospectus relates only to the
Investment Shares of the BayFunds Bond Portfolio ("Bond Fund") and BayFunds
Short Term Yield Portfolio ("Short Term Yield Fund") (individually, a "Fund" and
collectively, the "Funds").

   BayFunds Short Term Yield
   Portfolio seeks a high level of current income consistent with preservation
   of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of high-grade debt
   obligations. This Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio
   maturity of three years or less.
   BayFunds Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve high current income and capital
   appreciation by investing, under normal market and economic conditions, at
   least 65% of the value of its total assets in bonds. The Fund will maintain
   a dollar-weighted average maturity of twelve years or less.

As of the date of this prospectus, BayFunds offers shares in three other
portfolios:

  . BayFunds Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide current income consistent
    with stability of principal and liquidity by investing in a portfolio of
    money market instruments with remaining maturities of 397 days or less;

  . BayFunds U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide current 
    income consistent with stability of principal and liquidity by investing 
    in a
    portfolio consisting primarily of short-term U.S. Treasury obligations with
    remaining maturities of 397 days or less; and

  . BayFunds Equity Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by
    investing, under normal market and economic conditions, at least 65% of its
    assets in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities, with current
    income as a secondary investment consideration.

Shareholders may exchange Investment Shares in the Funds for Investment Shares
in the other portfolios of BayFunds without any redemption fee or other charge.
(See "Exchange Privileges" at pages 19-20.)

Valuing Fund Shares

Each Fund's net asset value per share fluctuates. (See "Net Asset Value" at page
16.)

Buying and Redeeming Fund
Shares

You can conveniently buy and redeem Fund shares on any Business Day. (See
"Investing in Shares" at pages 17-19 and Redeeming Shares" at pages 21-23.)
Shares of a Fund are bought and redeemed at net asset value without a sales load
or redemption fees. The minimum initial investment in a Fund is $2,500, or $500
if you participate in the Automatic Investment Program or invest through an
Individual Retirement Account ("IRA"). (See "Automatic Investment Program" at
page 19.) Subsequent investments must be in amounts of at least $100, or $50 if
you participate in the Automatic Investment Program or invest through an IRA.

Fund Management

The investment adviser for the Funds is BayBanks Investment Management, Inc.,
which makes investment decisions for each Fund. (See "BayFunds Information" at
page 13.)

Shareholder Services

When you become a shareholder in a Fund, you can easily obtain information about
your account, and about the Fund and other BayFunds' portfolios by calling
toll-free 1-800-BAY-FUND
(1-800-229-3863.)

and its acceptable investments. (See "Portfolio Investments and Strategies of
the Funds" at page 8.)

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

BayFunds was established as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration
of Trust dated April 1, 1991. The Declaration of Trust permits BayFunds to offer
separate series of shares of beneficial interest representing interests in
separate portfolios of securities. The shares in any one portfolio may be
offered in separate classes. With respect to the Funds, as of the date of this
prospectus, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") has established two classes of
shares, Investment Shares and Institutional Shares. This prospectus relates only
to Investment Shares ("Shares") of the Funds.


The Shares are designed primarily for individuals who purchase Shares through
BayBanks and its affiliates and seek a convenient means of accumulating an
interest in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio.


                 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES OF EACH FUND

The investment objective and policies of each Fund appear below. The investment
objective of a Fund cannot be changed without the approval of holders of a
majority of that Fund's shares. While there is no assurance that a Fund will
achieve its investment objective, it endeavors to do so by following the
investment policies described in this prospectus.

Unless indicated otherwise, the investment policies of a Fund may be changed by
the Trustees without approval of shareholders. Shareholders will be notified
before any material change in these policies becomes effective.

For additional information about the investment strategies that one or both
Funds may employ, and certain investment policies mentioned below, please refer
to the "Portfolio Investments and Strategies of the Funds" section of this
prospectus and the combined Statement of Additional Information.

Short Term Yield Fund

   If you are seeking high current income and greater price stability than a
   long-term bond fund provides, then the Short Term Yield Fund may be a
   suitable investment. The average maturity of the Fund's holdings will be
   kept to three years or less in order to limit fluctuations in Share
   price.

The investment objective of the Short Term Yield Fund is a high level of current
income consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market and economic
conditions, the Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a
diversified portfolio of high-grade debt obligations, which may include bonds,
notes, debentures, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, commercial
paper, bank instruments, and money market instruments. The Fund will maintain
a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of three years or less.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

   The Short Term Yield Fund buys only high-grade U.S. dollar-denominated debt
   obligations.

The high-grade debt obligations in which the Fund invests are rated by one or
more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") in one of
the three highest rating categories at the time of purchase (e.g., AAA, AA or A
by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Fitch Investors Service, Inc.
("Fitch"), or Aaa, Aa or A by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")). The
Short Term Yield Fund may purchase commercial paper rated by one or more NRSROs
in one of their two highest categories at the time of purchase (e.g., A-1 or A-2
by S&P, Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's, or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch). The Short Term
Yield Fund may also invest in unrated debt securities that are determined by its
adviser to be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings. The Short
Term Yield Fund will limit its investment in commercial paper rated in the
second highest rating category by one or more NRSROs to not more than 10% of net
assets. Downgrades will be evaluated on a case by case basis by the adviser. The
adviser will determine whether or not a downgraded security continues to be an
acceptable investment. If not, the security will be sold.

Acceptable investments include the following:

  . Government Securities (as defined below);

  . corporate debt obligations, including medium-term notes and variable rate
    demand notes;

  . asset-backed securities rated in one of the two highest ratings categories 
    by a NRSRO, or if unrated, of comparable quality in the judgment of the 
    adviser;

  . commercial paper (including Canadian Commercial Paper and Europaper);

  . certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares, bankers'
    acceptances, deposit notes and other instruments of domestic and foreign
    banks, savings and loans and other deposit or thrift institutions;

  . medium and short-term credit facilities, including demand notes and
    participations in revolving credit facilities;

  . U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations of foreign issuers;

  . repurchase agreements;

  . money market instruments; and

  . money market mutual funds.

The Short Term Yield Fund invests only in instruments denominated and payable in
U.S. dollars.

Bond Fund

   If you are seeking high current income and capital appreciation, then the
   Bond Fund may be a suitable investment.

The investment objective of the Bond Fund is high current income and capital
appreciation. Under normal market and economic conditions, the Fund pursues its
investment objective by investing at least 65% of the value of its total assets
in bonds. The Fund intends to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio
maturity of 12 years or less.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

   The Bond Fund buys only investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated debt
   obligations.

The investment grade debt securities in which the Bond Fund invests are rated by
one or more NRSROs in one of the four highest rating categories at the time of
purchase (e.g., AAA, AA, A or BBB by S&P or Fitch, or Aaa, Aa, A or Baa by
Moody's). The Bond Fund may purchase commercial paper rated by one or more
NRSROs in their highest category at the time of purchase (e.g., A-1 by S&P,
Prime-1 by Moody's, or F-1 by Fitch). The Bond Fund may also invest in unrated
debt securities that are determined by its adviser to be of comparable quality
to securities having such ratings.

Acceptable investments include the following:

  . Government Securities (as defined below);

  . domestic issues of corporate debt obligations;

  . asset-backed securities in one of the two highest ratings categories by an
    NRSRO, or if unrated, of comparable quality in the judgment of the adviser;

  . U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations of foreign issuers;

  . certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares, bankers'
    acceptances, deposit notes and other instruments of domestic and foreign
    banks, savings and loans and other deposit or thrift institutions;

  . commercial paper;

  . repurchase agreements;

  . money market instruments; and

  . money market mutual funds.

The adviser attempts to manage the Bond Fund's total performance, which includes
both changes in principal value of the Bond Fund's portfolio and income earned,
by anticipating opportunities in the capital markets and risks of changes in
market interest rates. When the adviser expects that market interest rates may
decline, which would cause prices of outstanding bonds to rise, it generally
extends the average maturity of the Bond Fund's portfolio. When the adviser
expects that market interest rates may rise, which would cause prices of
outstanding bonds to decline, it generally shortens the average maturity of the
Bond Fund's portfolio. Further, the adviser attempts to improve the Bond Fund's
total return by weighing the relative value of alternative bond issues having
similar maturities in selecting portfolio securities. By actively managing the
Bond Fund's portfolio in this manner, the adviser seeks to provide capital
appreciation during periods of falling interest rates and protection against
capital depreciation during periods of rising rates.

                           PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS AND
                            STRATEGIES OF THE FUNDS

Government Securities

The Funds may purchase obligations issued or guaranteed as to payment of
principal and interest by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or
instrumentalities ("Government Securities"). The types of Government Securities
in which the Funds may invest generally include direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury (such as U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds) and obligations issued
or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities. These securities
are backed by:

  . the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury;

  . the issuer's right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury;

  . the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain
    obligations of agencies or instrumentalities; or

  . the credit of the agency or instrumentality issuing the obligations.

Examples of agencies and instrumentalities which may not always receive
financial support from the U.S. government are:

  . Federal Home Loan Banks;

  . Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation;

  . Federal Farm Credit Banks;

  . The Student Loan Marketing Association; and

  . Federal National Mortgage Association.

Variable Rate Demand Notes

The Short Term Yield Fund may purchase variable rate demand notes, which are
long-term corporate debt instruments that have variable or floating interest
rates and provide the Short Term Yield Fund with the right to tender the
security for repurchase at its stated principal amount plus accrued interest.
Such securities typically bear interest at a rate that is intended to cause the
securities to trade at par. The interest rate may float or be adjusted at
regular intervals (ranging from daily to annually), and is normally based on a
published interest rate or interest rate index. Many variable rate demand notes
allow the Short Term Yield Fund to demand the repurchase of the security on not
more than seven days prior notice. Other notes only permit the Short Term Yield
Fund to tender the security at the time of each interest rate adjustment or at
other fixed intervals.

Asset-Backed Securities

The Funds may purchase asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are
created by the grouping of certain governmental, government related and private
loans, receivables and other lender assets into pools. Interests in these pools
are sold as individual securities. Payments from the asset pools may be divided
into several different tranches of debt securities, with some tranches entitled
to receive regular installments of principal and interest, other tranches
entitled to receive regular installments of interest, with principal payable at
maturity or upon specified call dates, and other tranches only entitled to
receive payments of principal and accrued interest at maturity or upon specified
call dates. Different tranches of securities will bear different interest rates,
which may be fixed or floating. Because the loans held in the asset pool often
may be prepaid without penalty or premium, asset-backed securities are generally
subject to higher prepayment risks than most other types of debt instruments.
Prepayment risks on mortgage securities tend to increase during periods of
declining mortgage interest rates, because many borrowers refinance their
mortgages to take advantage of the more favorable rates. Depending upon market
conditions, the yield that the Funds receive from the reinvestment of such
prepayments, or any scheduled principal payments, may be lower than the yield on
the original mortgage security. As a consequence, mortgage securities may be a
less effective means of "locking in" interest rates than other types of debt
securities having the same stated maturity and may also have less potential
for capital appreciation. For certain types of asset pools, such as
collateralized mortgage obligations, prepayments may be allocated to one
tranche of securities ahead of other tranches, in order to reduce the risk of
prepayment for the other tranches.

Prepayments may result in a capital loss to the Funds to the extent that the
prepaid mortgage securities were purchased at a market premium over their stated
principal amount. Conversely, the prepayment of mortgage securities purchased at
a market discount from their stated principal amount will accelerate the
recognition of interest income by the Funds, which would be taxed as ordinary
income when distributed to the shareholders.

The credit characteristics of asset-backed securities also differ in a number of
respects from those of traditional debt securities. The credit quality of most
asset-backed securities depends primarily upon the credit quality of the assets
underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the securities is
insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated
entities, and the amount and quality of any credit enhancement to such
securities.

Non-Mortgage Related
Asset-Backed Securities

The Funds may invest in non-mortgage related asset-backed securities, including
interests in pools of receivables, such as credit card and accounts receivable
and motor vehicle and other installment purchase obligations and leases. These
securities may be in the form of pass-through instruments or asset-backed
obligations. The securities are issued by non-governmental entities and carry no
direct or indirect U.S. government guarantee.

Non-mortgage related asset-backed securities present certain risks that are not
presented by mortgage-related asset-backed securities described below.
Primarily, these securities do not have the benefit of the same security
interest in the related collateral. Credit card receivables are generally
unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the protection of a number of state
and federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such debtors the right to
set off certain amounts owed on the credit cards, thereby reducing the balance
due. Most issuers of asset-backed securities backed by motor vehicle installment
purchase obligations permit the servicer of such receivables to retain the
possession of the underlying obligations. If the servicer sells these
obligations to another party, there is a risk that the purchaser would acquire
an interest superior to that of the holders of the related asset-backed
securities. Further, if a vehicle is registered in one state and is then
reregistered because the owner and obligor moves to another state, such
registration could defeat the original security interest in the vehicle in
certain cases. In addition, because of the large number of vehicles involved in
a typical issuance and technical requirements under state laws, the trustee for
the holders of asset-backed securities backed by automobile receivables may not
have a proper security interest in all of the obligations backing such
receivables. Therefore, there is the possibility that recoveries on repossessed
collateral may not, in some cases, be available to support payments on these
securities.

Mortgage-Related Asset-Backed Securities

The Funds may also invest in various mortgage-related asset-backed securities.
These types of investments may include adjustable rate mortgage securities,
collateralized mortgage obligations, real estate mortgage investment conduits,
or other securities collateralized by or representing an interest in real estate
mortgages (collectively, "mortgage securities"). Many mortgage securities
are issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies.

                  ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE SECURITIES ("ARMS")

ARMS are pass-through mortgage securities representing interests in adjustable
rather than fixed interest rate mortgages. The ARMS in which the Funds invest
are issued by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal
National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC") and are actively traded. The underlying mortgages which
collateralize ARMS issued by GNMA are fully guaranteed by the Federal Housing
Administration ("FHA") or Veterans Administration ("VA"), while those
collateralizing ARMS issued by FHLMC or FNMA are typically conventional
residential mortgages conforming to strict underwriting size and maturity
constraints.

                  COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS ("CMOs")

CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by mortgage loans or mortgage
pass-through securities. Typically, CMOs are collateralized by GNMA, FNMA or
FHLMC certificates, but may be collateralized by whole loans or private
pass-through securities.

The Funds will only invest in CMOs which are rated AAA by a NRSRO, and which may
be: (a) collateralized by pools of mortgages in which each mortgage is
guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. government; (b) collateralized by pools of mortgages
in which payment of principal and interest is guaranteed by the issuer and such
guarantee is collateralized by U.S. government securities; or (c) securities in
which the proceeds of the issuance are invested in mortgage securities and
payment of the principal and interest is supported by the credit of an agency or
instrumentality of the U.S. government.

Obligations of Foreign Issuers

The Funds may invest in debt obligations of foreign issuers which are U.S.
dollar-denominated and traded on domestic exchanges or in the over-the-counter
market (American Depositary Receipts or "ADRs"). Obligations of foreign issuers
may include debt obligations of supranational entities, which include
international organizations designed or supported by governmental entities to
promote economic reconstruction or development, and international banking
institutions and related government agencies. Examples of these include, but are
not limited to, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World
Bank), European Investment Bank, Asian Development Bank and InterAmerican
Development Bank. Each of the Funds will limit its investments in non-ADR
foreign obligations to less than 5% of its net assets. Different risks may also
exist with respect to investments of foreign banks because the banks issuing
these instruments, or their domestic or foreign branches, are not necessarily
subject to the same regulatory requirements that apply to domestic banks, such
as reserve requirements, loan requirements, loan limitations, examinations,
accounting, auditing, and recordkeeping, and the public availability of
information. These factors will be carefully considered by the Funds' adviser in
selecting investments for the Funds.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities


The Funds may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any
securities in which the Funds may otherwise invest pursuant to their
investment objectives and policies, but which are subject to restriction on
resale under federal securities law. Such restrictions often impact the
marketability of the investment. However, the Funds will limit investments in
illiquid securities, including certain restricted securities not determined by
the Trustees to be liquid, non-negotiable time deposits, and repurchase
agreements providing for settlement in more than seven days after notice, to
15% of their respective net assets.


The Funds may invest in commercial paper issued in reliance on the exemption
from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Section 4(2) commercial paper is restricted as to disposition under federal
securities law and is generally sold to institutional investors, such as the
Funds, who agree that they are purchasing the paper for investment purposes and
not with a view to public distribution. Any resale by the purchaser must be in
an exempt transaction. Section 4(2) commercial paper is normally resold to other
institutional investors like the Funds through or with the assistance of the
issuer or investment dealers who make a market in Section 4(2) commercial paper,
thus providing liquidity. The Funds believe that Section 4(2) commercial paper
and possibly certain other restricted securities which meet the criteria for
liquidity established by the Trustees are quite liquid. The Funds intend,
therefore, to treat the restricted securities which meet the criteria for
liquidity established by the Trustees, including Section 4(2) commercial paper,
as determined by the adviser, as liquid and not subject to the investment
limitation applicable to illiquid securities. In addition, because Section 4(2)
commercial paper is liquid, the Funds intend to not subject such paper to the
limitation applicable to restricted securities.

Repurchase Agreements

Certain securities in which the Funds invest may be purchased pursuant to
repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are arrangements in which banks,
broker/dealers, and other recognized financial institutions sell securities to
the Funds and agree at the time of sale to repurchase them at a mutually agreed
upon time and price. To the extent that the seller does not repurchase the
securities from the Funds, the Funds could receive more or less than the
repurchase price on any sale of such securities.

When-Issued and Delayed
Delivery Transactions

The Funds may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Funds purchase
securities with payment and delivery scheduled for a future time. The Funds
engage in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions only for the purpose of
acquiring portfolio securities consistent with the Funds' investment objectives
and policies, not for investment leverage. In when-issued and delayed delivery
transactions, the Funds rely on the seller to complete the transaction. The
seller's failure to complete the transaction may cause the Funds to miss a price
or yield considered to be advantageous.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

In order to generate additional income, the Funds may lend their portfolio
securities on a short-term or long-term basis, or both, to broker/dealers,
banks, or other institutional borrowers of securities. The Funds will limit the
amount of portfolio securities they may lend to not more than one-third of their
respective total assets. The Funds will only enter into loan arrangements with
broker/dealers, banks, or other institutions which the adviser has determined
are creditworthy under guidelines established by the Trustees and will receive
collateral equal to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned.

Temporary Investments

For defensive purposes only, the Funds may also invest in cash and cash items
during times of unusual market conditions and to maintain liquidity. Cash items
may include short-term obligations such as:

  . with respect to the Short Term Yield Fund, commercial paper rated A-1 or A-2
    by S&P, Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's, or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch;

  . with respect to the Bond Fund, commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P, Prime-1 by
    Moody's, or F-1 by Fitch;

  . obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; and
    repurchase agreements.

Average Portfolio Maturity

   The Short Term Yield Fund's dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity will
   not exceed three years. The Bond Fund's dollar-weighted average portfolio
   maturity will not exceed 12 years.

Neither Fund will maintain a stable net asset value. However, the adviser will
seek to limit, to the extent consistent with the Short Term Yield Fund's
investment objective of current income, the magnitude of fluctuations in the
Short Term Yield Fund's net asset value by limiting the dollar-weighted average
maturity of the Short Term Yield Fund's portfolio to three years or less.
Similarly, to the extent consistent with the Bond Fund's investment objective of
high current income and capital appreciation, the adviser will seek to limit the
magnitude of fluctuations in the Bond Fund's net asset value by limiting the
dollar-weighted average maturity of the Bond Fund's portfolio to 12 years or
less. Securities with shorter maturities generally have less price movement than
securities of comparable quality with longer maturities. In periods of
anticipated rising interest rates, a greater portion of the Funds' assets may be
invested in securities the value of which are believed to be less sensitive to
interest rate changes.

Portfolio Turnover

Although the Funds do not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking short-term
profits, securities in a Fund's portfolio will be sold whenever the adviser
believes it is appropriate to do so in light of the Fund's investment objective,
without regard to the length of time a particular security may have been held.
The adviser does not anticipate that the annual portfolio turnover rate will
generally exceed 100% for the Short Term Yield Fund or 200% for the Bond Fund
under normal market conditions. The Bond Fund's higher portfolio turnover rate
may lead to increased costs and may also result in higher taxes paid by the Bond
Fund's shareholders.

Ratings

The Bond Fund may invest in debt securities that are investment grade; that is,
rated Baa or higher by Moody's, or BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch, or, if
unrated, judged by the adviser to be of comparable quality. Moody's, S&P, and
Fitch believe that securities rated Baa or BBB, while of investment grade, have
speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. If an investment grade security loses its rating
or has its rating reduced after the Bond Fund has purchased it, the Bond Fund is
not required to sell the security from its portfolio; however, the adviser will
endeavor to dispose of the security as soon as practicable thereafter, taking
into account existing market conditions.

                             INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Funds will not borrow money directly or through reverse repurchase
agreements (arrangements in which the Funds sell a portfolio instrument for a
percentage of its cash value with an agreement to buy it back on a set date) or
pledge securities except, under certain circumstances, the Funds may borrow up
to one-third of the value of their respective total assets and pledge up to 15%
of the value of those assets to secure such borrowings. With respect to 75% of
the value of total assets, each Fund will invest no more than 5% in securities
of any one issuer or acquire more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of any one issuer, other than cash, cash items or securities issued or
guaranteed by the government of the United States or its agencies or
instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government
securities.

The above limitations cannot be changed without shareholder approval.

BayBank Systems, Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts, is the shareholder servicing
agent for the Funds (the "Shareholder Servicing Agent"). Each Fund may pay the
Shareholder Servicing Agent a fee based on the average daily net asset value of
Shares for which it provides shareholder services. These shareholder services
include, but are not limited to, distributing prospectuses and other
information, providing shareholder assistance and communicating or facilitating
purchases and redemptions of Shares. This fee will be equal to .25 of 1% of each
Fund's average daily net assets for which the Shareholder Servicing Agent
provides services; however, the Shareholder Servicing Agent may choose
voluntarily to waive all or a portion of its fee at any time.

Expenses of the Funds and Shares


The Funds pay all of their own expenses and their allocable share of BayFunds'
expenses. The expenses borne by the Funds include the following types of
expenses: organization fees; Trustees fees; fees for those management and
administration services described above (including legal, audit and custodian
fees); and printing, registration and mailing costs for legally required
documents and reports to shareholders and government agencies. The Adviser may
voluntarily waive some expenses and has, in addition, undertaken to reimburse
the Funds, up to the amount of the advisory fee, the amount by which operating
expenses exceed limitations imposed by certain states.


At present, the only expenses allocated to shares as a class are expenses under
the Funds' Shareholder Servicing Plan which relate to the Shares. However, the
Trustees reserve the right to allocate certain other expenses to holders of
Shares as it deems appropriate ("Class Expenses").


                                NET ASSET VALUE

   The term "net asset value" per share refers to the value of one Share of a
   Fund.


Each Fund's net asset value per share fluctuates. Net asset value per share for
purposes of pricing purchases and redemptions is calculated by dividing the
market value of all securities and other assets belonging to a Fund, less the
liabilities charged to the Fund, by the number of outstanding shares of the
Fund. The net asset value for Institutional Shares of a Fund may be greater than
that of Investment Shares of a Fund due to the variance in daily net income
realized by each class as a result of shareholder servicing fees incurred by the
Investment Shares. Such variance will reflect only accrued net income to which
the shareholders of a particular class are entitled.


Pricing of Shares

The net asset value of each Fund is determined at the close of regular trading
hours on the New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Monday
through Friday, except on: (i) the following holidays: New Year's Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day; (ii) days on which there are not sufficient
changes in the value of a Fund's portfolio securities that its net asset value
might be materially affected; and (iii) days during which no Shares are tendered
for redemption and no orders to purchase Shares are received.


                              INVESTING IN SHARES


   Shares are sold "no-load"--without a sales charge. Your minimum initial
   investment is only $2,500, or $500 if you participate in the Automatic
   Investment Program or invest through an IRA.


Minimum Investment


You can become a Fund shareholder with an initial investment of $2,500, or $500
if you participate in the Automatic Investment Program or invest through an IRA.
Subsequent investments must be in amounts of at least $100, or if you
participate in the Automatic Investment Program or invest through an IRA, the
minimum for additional Share purchases is $50. The Funds may waive any
investment minimums from time to time. In addition, the Funds may reduce or
waive investment minimums for investors purchasing through qualified BayBanks
accounts.


When You May Purchase Shares


The Funds offer Shares only on days on which the New York Stock Exchange and the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston are open for business ("Business Days"). In
addition to the holidays listed above under "Pricing of Shares," other non-
Business Days include Martin Luther King's Day, Columbus Day and Veteran's Day.
If the Shareholder Servicing Agent receives your purchase order on a
non-Business Day, the order will not be executed until the next Business Day in
accordance with the Distributor's procedures. The Funds and the Distributor
reserve the right to reject any purchase request.


When Your Purchase Is Effective

If your purchase order is received in good order and accepted by the Fund from
the Transfer Agent by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day, it will be
executed at the net asset value next determined. The Transfer Agent will not
communicate your purchase order to the Fund until the Shareholder Servicing
Agent has received the purchase price in Federal funds or other immediately
available funds. When you purchase Shares by check, the order is considered
received when the check is converted into Federal funds, normally within two
Business Days. BayBanks acts as the shareholder's agent in depositing checks and
converting them to Federal funds.

You must submit a completed and signed application at the time of your initial
purchase.

The Shareholder Servicing Agent is responsible for prompt transmission of
purchase orders to the Transfer Agent.

   Subsequent purchases may be made by telephone, mail, wire, or in person
   through BayBanks offices.

Purchases By Mail


If you make your initial Share purchase by mail, you must send a completed and
signed application and a check payable to the specific Fund and class, to:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02254-9614

You may obtain an application by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.


You may make subsequent investments in a Fund at any time by sending a check for
a minimum of $100 ($50 if for an IRA) payable to the specific Fund and class at
the following address:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 5-0900
  Woburn, MA 01815-0900


or for IRAs:

  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 889
  Burlington, MA 01803-5889

You must include either (a) the detachable form that regularly accompanies
confirmation of a prior transaction, (b) a subsequent order form that may be
obtained by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND, or (c) a letter stating the amount of the
investment, the name of the Fund and class of shares, the exact name and address
of the account, and your account number.

If the check does not clear, your purchase order will be cancelled and you could
be held liable for associated transaction costs.


Purchases By Phone

Once you are a Fund shareholder, you may purchase Shares by phone by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND.

You must have previously authorized the specific Fund in writing to accept
telephone requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the
Options Change Form and information on this Fund feature. Each Fund uses
reasonable procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a
written confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions
given by telephone are genuine. However, a Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for the losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.

The establishment of certain types of deposit account relationships with
BayBanks may permit the direct deduction of your purchase price from your
BayBanks deposit account. Please call 1-800-BAY-FUND to determine whether your
BayBanks deposit account qualifies.

For the protection of investors, all phone communications may be recorded where
not otherwise prohibited by law.

Texas residents must purchase Shares through the Distributor at 1-800-356-2805.

Purchases By Wire


If you are a Fund shareholder, you may purchase additional Shares by wire by
first notifying BayBank, as agent for the Transfer Agent, by phone at
1-800-BAY-FUND and then wiring the funds as follows:


  . BayBank

  . ABA Number: 0110-0174-2

  . Attention: Mutual Funds Services

  . For Credit to: (shareholder name and account number)

  . Further Credit to: (identify the appropriate Fund--Investment Shares)

Purchases Through BayBanks Offices

You may place an order to purchase Shares of a Fund in person through designated
BayBanks offices.

Purchase orders placed through BayBanks offices typically would be received by
the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. If you want more prompt processing,
you should consider another method, such as "Purchases by Phone."


Automatic Investment Program

   You can buy Shares conveniently through the Automatic Investment Program.

When you participate in the Automatic Investment Program, you can purchase
additional Fund Shares in minimum amounts of $50. You must previously have
authorized in writing the amount of funds to be deducted automatically from
eligible BayBanks deposit accounts or your deposit account maintained at a
domestic financial institution which is an automated clearing house member, and
the frequency of the deductions. The funds will be invested in Shares of the
specified Fund at the net asset value next determined. The Funds may reduce or
waive the investment minimums for investors purchasing through qualified
BayBanks accounts.



                              EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES

   If your investment needs change, you can easily exchange a Fund's
   Investment Shares for Investment Shares of any other BayFund Portfolio at
   no charge.


BayFunds consists of the Funds, the BayFunds Equity Portfolio, the BayFunds U.S.
Treasury Money Market Portfolio and the BayFunds Money Market Portfolio. As a
shareholder, you have access to the Investment Shares of all the portfolios
("Participating Funds") of BayFunds through an exchange program. You may also
purchase BayFunds Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust with redemption
proceeds of a BayFunds portfolio by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.

You may exchange Shares having a net asset value of at least $100 for Investment
Shares of any other Participating Fund in which you have an account. The minimum
initial investment to establish an account in any other Participating Fund by
exchange is $2,500, or $500 if you participate in the Automatic Investment
Program or invest through an IRA. BayFunds does not charge any exchange fees.

Each exchange is considered a sale of shares of one fund and a purchase of
shares of another fund. Shares submitted for exchange will be redeemed at the
net asset value next determined after receipt of the exchange request by the
Transfer Agent on a Business Day. Investment Shares of the Participating Fund to
be acquired will be purchased at the net asset value per share next determined
on a Business Day. Transfers of money between a BayFunds portfolio and BayFunds
Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust will be reflected as a redemption
and purchase on a shareholder's account statement. In a transfer involving the
BayFunds Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust, the purchase order will
be placed on the Business Day following the Business Day after which the
redemption order has been executed.


If you do not have an account in the Participating Fund whose Investment Shares
you want to acquire, you must establish an account. Prior to any such exchange,
you must receive a copy of the current prospectus of the Investment Shares of
the Participating Fund into which an exchange is to be effected. This account
will be registered in the same name and, unless you specify otherwise, will have
the same dividend and distribution payment option as you selected with your
existing account. If the new account registration (name, address, and taxpayer
identification number) is not identical to your existing account, please call
1-800-BAY-FUND for the necessary new account or transfer procedures.

The exchange privilege is available to shareholders in any state in which
Participating Funds' shares being acquired may be sold.

You may find the exchange privilege useful if your investment objectives or
market outlook should change after you invest in any of the Investment Shares of
Participating Funds. You may obtain further information on the exchange
privilege and obtain a prospectus by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.

BayFunds reserves the right to terminate the exchange privilege at any time on
60 days' notice. Shareholders will be notified if this privilege is terminated.

Depending on the circumstances, an exchange may generate a short-or long-term
capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges By Telephone

You may provide instructions for exchanges by telephone between Participating
Funds by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.


You must have previously authorized the Funds in writing to accept telephone
requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the Options
Change Form and information on this feature. Each Fund uses reasonable
procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a written
confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions given
by telephone are genuine. However, a Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for any losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.


Written Exchanges

You may send a written request for an exchange to:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02254-9614

Your written request must include your name and tax identification number; the
name of the specific Fund, the name of the class of shares; the dollar amount or
number of Shares to be redeemed; the name of the fund and class of shares in
which shares are to be purchased; and your account number. Your request must be
signed by the registered owner(s) exactly as required by the account
application.


Exchanges Through BayBanks Offices

You may place an order to exchange Shares in person through designated BayBanks
offices.

Exchange orders received through designated BayBanks offices typically would be
received by the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. For more prompt
processing, you should consider another method, such as "Exchanges by
Telephone."


                                REDEEMING SHARES

   When you sell your Shares--"redeem" them--you receive the net asset value
   per share next determined after the request is received by a Fund in proper
   form. There are no fees or other redemption charges (except for redemptions
   by wire). You may redeem some or all of your investment.

When You May Redeem Shares

Each Fund redeems its Shares at the net asset value next determined after the
Fund has received your redemption request from the Transfer Agent in proper
form. Redemption requests can be executed only on Business Days. If your
redemption request is received by the Shareholder Servicing Agent on a
non-Business Day, the Transfer Agent will not communicate your redemption
request to the Fund until the next Business Day.

The Funds will not process any redemptions until a completed and signed
application has been received.


When Redemptions Are Paid

The Funds ordinarily will make payment for Shares redeemed after proper receipt
from the Transfer Agent of the redemption request and of all documents in proper
form within five Business Days. Redemption proceeds may be credited to an
eligible BayBanks deposit account, paid by check, or paid by wire, as you
previously designated in your application.

Signature Guarantees. If you request a redemption for an amount in excess of
$10,000 (no limitation if the proceeds are being credited to your BayBanks
deposit account), a redemption of any amount to be sent to an address other than
your address of record with the Fund, the transfer of the registration of
Shares, or a redemption of any amount payable to someone other than yourself as
the shareholder of record, your signature must be guaranteed on a written
redemption request by a trust company or insured commercial bank; an insured
savings and loan association or savings bank; a member firm of a national or
regional stock exchange; or any other "eligible guarantor institution," as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Transfer Agent has adopted
standards for accepting signature guarantees from the above institutions.
BayFunds may elect in the future to limit eligible signature guarantors to
institutions that are members of a signature guarantee program. The Funds do not
accept signatures guaranteed by a notary public. BayFunds and its Transfer Agent
reserve the right to amend these standards at any time without notice. If you
have a question about the proper form for redemption requests, call
1-800-BAY-FUND.

   You may redeem Shares by phone, mail, or through BayBanks offices.You may
   receive redemption proceeds by wire.

Redemptions By Mail

You may redeem Fund Shares by submitting a written request for redemption to:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02554-9614



Your written request must include your name and tax identification number, the
specific Fund's name, the class of shares name, the dollar amount or number of
Shares to be redeemed, and your account number. Your request must be signed by
the registered owner(s) exactly as required by the account application.


Redemptions By Phone

You may redeem Fund Shares by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND.

You must have previously authorized the Fund in writing to accept telephone
requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the Options
Change Form.

In the event of drastic economic or market changes, you may experience
difficulty in redeeming by telephone. If this occurs, you should consider
another method of redemption, such as "Redemptions by Mail." The Fund uses
reasonable procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a
written confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions
given by telephone are genuine. However, a Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for any losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.


Redemption Proceeds By Wire


You may receive redemption proceeds of Fund Shares by wire by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND. Redemption proceeds of at least $1,000 will be wired directly to
the domestic commercial bank and account you previously designated in writing.
You are charged a fee for each wire redemption and the fee is deducted from your
redemption proceeds.


Each Fund reserves the right to wire redemption proceeds within five Business
Days after receiving the redemption order if, in its judgment, an earlier
payment could adversely affect the Fund. However, the redemption order will be
effected at the net asset value next determined after redemption request is
received by a Fund from the Transfer Agent in proper form. The Funds also
reserve the right to terminate or modify the "Redemption Proceeds By Wire" or
"Redemptions By Phone" procedures at any time. In that event, shareholders would
be promptly notified.


Redemptions Through BayBanks
Offices

You may place an order to redeem Fund Shares in person through designated
BayBanks offices.

Redemption orders received through designated BayBanks offices typically would
be received by the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. For more prompt
processing, you should consider another method, such as "Redemptions By Phone."


                               BACKUP WITHHOLDING

The Internal Revenue Service requires that backup withholding of 31% apply to
any redemption or exchange request on an account that has not certified its
taxpayer identification number ("TIN"). Shareholders who either have not
certified their number or applied for a number should be aware that backup
withholding will apply to any redemption request processed prior to receipt of a
TIN number and certification.

Redemptions Before Purchase
Instruments Clear

If any portion of a Fund's Shares to be redeemed represents an investment made
with uncollected funds, the Fund reserves the right to delay payment of proceeds
until the Shareholder Servicing Agent is reasonably certain that the funds have
been collected, which could take up to five Business Days.

Automatic Withdrawal Program

An Automatic Withdrawal Program may be established for IRA accounts only
whereby automatic redemptions are made from the account and transferred
electronically to an eligible BayBanks deposit account or your deposit account
maintained at  a domestic financial institution that is an automated clearing
house member.  The minimum redemption amount is $100 per month. Depending upon
the amount of  the withdrawal payments and the amount of dividends paid with
respect to Shares, redemptions may reduce, and eventually deplete, the
shareholder's  investment in the Fund. For this reason, payments under this
program should  not be considered as yield or income on the shareholder's
investment in the  Fund. A shareholder may apply for participation in this
program by calling  1-800-BAY-FUND for further information. If a shareholder
withdraws any funds  from the IRA account before reaching age 59-1/2 (except
certain withdrawals of  excess contributions and regular payments made over the
shareholder's life  expectancy), the shareholder will be subject to an IRS
penalty tax of 10% of the taxable amount withdrawn in addition to regular
income taxes on the taxable amount.



                            SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Balances in Accounts


Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, a Fund may
redeem your Shares (other than in retirement plan accounts or IRAs) and send you
the proceeds if, due to shareholder redemptions, your account balance falls
below a minimum value of $1,000. However, before Shares are redeemed to close an
account, the shareholder will be notified in writing and given 60 days to
purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum balance requirement. The Funds
reserve the right to amend this standard upon 60 days' prior written notice to
shareholders. The Funds also reserve the right to redeem their Shares
involuntarily or to make payment for redemptions in the form of securities if it
appears appropriate to do so in light of their responsibilities under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.


Dividends and Distributions

   You earn dividends daily and receive them monthly, and capital gains are
   paid out in "distributions" at least annually. You select the payment
   option: automatic reinvestment in additional Shares, automatic credit to
   eligible BayBanks deposit accounts, or by check.

Dividends from a Fund's net investment income are declared daily, immediately
prior to the 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) pricing of the Shares. Dividends are paid
monthly within five Business Days after the end of such calendar month to all
shareholders invested in the Fund on the record date. Net realized capital gains
are distributed at least annually.


You elect in writing how you want to receive your dividends and your
distributions. You may choose automatic reinvestment in additional Shares at
the net asset value next determined on the payment dates, automatic credit to
an eligible BayBanks deposit account, or by check. If you fail to select an
option, all distributions will be reinvested in additional Shares.


Confirmations and Monthly Statements


You will receive confirmations of each purchase, exchange or redemption. Monthly
statements are sent to report transactions such as purchases and redemptions, as
well as dividends paid during the month. However, BayBank IRA customers will
receive quarterly statements for their accounts.


The Funds' Transfer Agent maintains a Share account for each shareholder of
record. Share certificates are not issued.

Corporate Customers

Corporate customers of BayBanks interested in purchasing Fund Shares should
consult their account relationship managers for procedures applicable to their
accounts or call 1-800-554-3311. This prospectus should be read in conjunction
with any materials provided by BayBanks regarding such procedures.

Retirement Plans


BayBanks makes available for purchase Fund Shares for investment by IRAs and
rollover IRAs. For details, including minimum investments, application forms and
other investment procedures, call 1-800-BAY-FUND. For information about

England Executive Park, Burlington, MA 01803.


Voting Rights

   As a shareholder, you are entitled to vote on certain matters.

Each share of a Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All shares of each portfolio
in BayFunds have equal voting rights except that, in matters affecting only a
particular fund or class, only shares of that particular fund or class are
entitled to vote.

As a Massachusetts business trust, BayFunds is not required to hold annual
shareholder meetings. Shareholder approval will be sought only for certain
changes in BayFunds' or a Fund's operation and for the election of Trustees
under certain circumstances. Trustees may be removed by a two-thirds vote of the
number of Trustees prior to such removal or by a two-thirds vote of the
shareholders at a special meeting. A special meeting of shareholders shall be
called by the Trustees upon the written request of shareholders owning at least
10% of BayFunds' outstanding shares of all portfolios entitled to vote.


                              AUTHORITY TO ACT AS
                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

The Glass-Steagall Act and other banking laws and regulations presently prohibit
a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, or any affiliate thereof, from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company continuously engaged in the issuance of
its shares, and from issuing, underwriting, selling or distributing securities
in general. Such laws and regulations do not prohibit such a holding company or
affiliate from acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such
an investment company or from purchasing shares of such a company as agent for
and upon the order of their customer. The Funds' investment adviser, BayBanks
Investment Management, Inc., is subject to such banking laws and regulations.

The Adviser believes that it may perform the investment advisory services for
the Funds contemplated by its advisory agreement with BayFunds without violating
the Glass-Steagall Act or other applicable banking laws or regulations. Changes
in either federal or state statutes and regulations relating to the permissible
activities of banks and their subsidiaries or affiliates, as well as further
judicial or administrative decisions or interpretations of present or future
statutes and regulations, could prevent the Adviser from continuing to perform
all or a part of the above services for its customers and/or the Funds. In such
event, changes in the operation of the Funds may occur, including the possible
alteration or termination of any automatic or other Fund share investment and
redemption services then being provided, and the Trustees would consider
alternative investment advisers and other means of continuing available
investment services. It is not expected that Fund shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences (if another adviser with equivalent abilities to
BayBanks Investment Management, Inc. is found) as a result of any of these
occurrences.

State securities laws governing the ability of depository institutions to act as
underwriters or distributors of securities may differ from interpretations given
to the Glass-Steagall Act and, therefore, banks and financial institutions may
be required to register as dealers pursuant to state laws.


                                TAX INFORMATION

  This discussion of taxes is for general information only. Please consult
  your own tax adviser about your particular situation.

Federal Income Tax

Each Fund intends to meet requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies in order not to be liable for any Federal
income taxes or income and gains distributed to the Fund's shareholders. Each
Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized gains at least annually.

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for Federal income tax
purposes.

Unless otherwise exempt, shareholders are required to pay federal income tax on
any dividends and other distributions received. This applies whether dividends
and distributions are received in cash or as additional Shares. Distributions
from a Fund's net investment income and short-term capital gains will be taxed
as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction
available to corporations. Distributions of net long-term capital gains will be
taxed as such regardless of how long the Shares have been held.

Early each year, each Fund will notify its shareholders of the amount and tax
status of distributions paid to the shareholder for the preceding year.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the status of
their accounts under state and local laws.


                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

   You can follow each Fund's performance.

From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
performance and yield of the Funds may be quoted and compared to those of other
mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant bond indices or
to rankings prepared by independent services or other financial or industry
publications that monitor the performance of mutual funds. For example, the
performance of the Funds may be compared to data prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., a widely recognized independent service which monitors the
performance of mutual funds.

National financial publications in which performance and yield data are reported
may include The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, or Money
magazine. Publications of a local or regional nature, such as The Boston Globe
or The Boston Herald, may also be used in comparing the performance and yield of
the Funds.

Total return represents the change, over a specified period of time, in the
value of an investment in Investment Shares after reinvesting all income and
capital gains distributions. It is calculated by dividing that change by the
initial investment and is expressed as a percentage.

The yield of Shares is calculated by dividing the net investment income per
share (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) earned by Shares
over a thirty-day period by the net asset value per share of Shares on the last
day of the period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual compounding.
The yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned by Shares and,
therefore, may not correlate to the dividends or other distributions paid to
shareholders.

Yield and total return will be calculated separately for both classes of shares
of the Funds. Because Investment Shares are subject to shareholder servicing
fees, the yield and total return of Institutional Shares of a Fund for the same
period will exceed that of its Investment Shares.

Shares of the Funds are sold without any sales load or other similar
non-recurring charges.


Distribution Rate

The Funds may quote non-standardized yield in the form of a distribution rate.
In such case, the Short Term Yield Fund calculates its yield daily, as of the
date preceding the calculation, based upon the thirty days ending on the day of
the calculation. This yield is computed by:

  . adding the average daily interest accrued to the average daily original
    issue discount earned per share on the Fund's portfolio for that thirty-day
    period, exclusive of gains or losses on portfolio instruments, including
    short-term capital gains;

  . subtracting the average daily provision for expenses per share for the
    thirty-day period;

  . multiplying by the number of days in the current month times twelve; and

  . dividing by the thirty-day average net asset value per share.

The Bond Fund calculates its yield daily, as of the date preceding the
calculation, based upon the thirty days ending on the day of the calculation.
This yield is computed by:

  . adding the average daily interest accrued to the average daily discount
    earned (including original issue discount) per share on the Fund's portfolio
    for that thirty-day period, exclusive of gains or losses on portfolio
    instruments;

  . subtracting the average daily provision for expenses per share for the
    thirty-day period;

  . multiplying by 365 days; and

  . dividing by the thirty-day average net asset value per share.


                            OTHER CLASSES OF SHARES

Institutional Shares are offered primarily to trusts, fiduciaries and other
institutions. Institutional Shares are subject to a minimum initial investment
of $10,000. Institutional Shares are sold at net asset value and are distributed
without shareholder servicing fees. Institutional Shares were effective as of
January 1, 1994.


The amount of dividends payable to Institutional Shares of a Fund will be
greater than those payable to its Investment Shares by the difference between
Class Expenses and shareholder servicing fees borne by shares of each respective
class of shares of the Fund. (Currently, there are no differences in Class
Expenses other than shareholder servicing fees.)


The stated advisory fee is the same for both classes of shares of a Fund.

shareholder servicing fee. See "Other Classes of Shares."




                              GENERAL INFORMATION

BayFunds was established as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration
of Trust dated April 1, 1991. The Declaration of Trust permits BayFunds to offer
separate series of shares of beneficial interest representing interests in
separate portfolios of securities. The shares in any one portfolio may be
offered in separate classes. With respect to the Income Funds and Equity Fund,
as of the date of this prospectus, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") has
established two classes of shares, Institutional Shares and Investment Shares.
This prospectus relates only to Institutional Shares ("Shares") of such Funds.


Shares are offered primarily to trusts, fiduciaries and other institutions as a
convenient means of accumulating an interest in a professionally managed,
diversified portfolio of securities.


The other portfolios in BayFunds are: BayFunds Money Market Portfolio and
BayFunds U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio.

                            INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND
                             POLICIES OF EACH FUND

The investment objective and policies of each Fund appear below. The investment
objective of a Fund cannot be changed without the approval of holders of a
majority of that Fund's shares. While there is no assurance that a Fund will
achieve its investment objective, it endeavors to do so by following the
investment policies described in this prospectus.

Unless indicated otherwise, the investment policies of a Fund may be changed by
the Trustees without approval of shareholders. Shareholders will be notified
before any material change in these policies becomes effective.


For additional information about the investment strategies that the Funds may
employ, and certain investment policies mentioned below, please refer to the
"Portfolio Investments and Strategies of the Funds" section of this prospectus
and the combined Statement of Additional Information.


Short Term Yield Fund

The investment objective of the Short Term Yield Fund is a high level of current
income consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market and economic
conditions, the Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a
diversified portfolio of high-grade debt obligations, which may include bonds,
notes, debentures, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, commercial
paper, bank instruments, and money market instruments. The Fund will maintain a
dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of three years or less.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

The high-grade debt obligations in which the Short Term Yield Fund invests are
rated by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs") in one of the three highest rating categories at the time of purchase
(e.g., AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Fitch Investors
Service, Inc. ("Fitch"), or Aaa, Aa or A by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's")). The Short Term Yield Fund may purchase commercial paper rated by
one or more NRSROs in one of their two highest categories at the time of
purchase (e.g., A-1 or A-2 by S&P, Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's, or F-1 or F-2
by Fitch). The Short Term Yield Fund may also invest in unrated debt securities
that are determined by its adviser to be of comparable quality to securities
having such ratings. The Short Term Yield Fund will limit its investment in
commercial paper rated in the second highest rating category by one or more
NRSROs to not more than 10% of net assets. Downgrades will be evaluated on a
case by case basis by the adviser. The adviser will determine whether or not a
downgraded security continues to be an acceptable investment. If not, the
security will be sold.

Acceptable investments include the following:

  .  Government Securities (as defined below);

  .  corporate debt obligations, including medium-term notes and variable rate
     demand notes;

  .  asset-backed securities rated in one of the two highest ratings categories
     by a NRSRO, or if unrated, of comparable quality in the judgment of the
     adviser;

  .  commercial paper (including Canadian Commercial Paper and Europaper);

  .  certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares, bankers'
     acceptances, deposit notes and other instruments of domestic and foreign
     banks, savings and loans and other deposit or thrift institutions;

  .  medium and short-term credit facilities, including demand notes and
     participations in revolving credit facilities;

  .  U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations of foreign issuers;

  .  repurchase agreements;

  .  money market instruments; and

  .  money market mutual funds.

The Short Term Yield Fund invests only in instruments denominated and payable in
U.S. dollars.

Bond Fund

The investment objective of the Bond Fund is high current income and capital
appreciation. Under normal market and economic conditions, the Fund pursues its
investment objective by investing at least 65% of the value of its total assets
in bonds. The Fund intends to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio
maturity of twelve years or less.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

The investment grade debt securities in which the Bond Fund invests are rated by
one or more NRSROs in one of the four highest rating categories at the time of
purchase (e.g., AAA, AA, A or BBB by S&P or Fitch, or Aaa, Aa, A or Baa by
Moody's). The Bond Fund may purchase commecial paper rated by one or more NRSROs
in their highest category at the time of purchase (e.g., A-1 by S&P, Prime-1 by
Moody's, or F-1 by Fitch). The Bond Fund may also invest in unrated debt
securities that are determined by its adviser to be of comparable quality to
securities having such ratings.

Acceptable investments include the following:

  .  Government Securities (as defined below);

  .  domestic issues of corporate debt obligations;

  .  asset-backed securities in one of the two highest ratings categories by an
     NRSRO, or if unrated, of comparable quality in the judgment of the adviser;

  .  U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations of foreign issuers;

  .  certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares, bankers'
     acceptances, deposit notes and other instruments of domestic and foreign
     banks, savings and loans and other deposit or thrift institutions;

  .  commercial paper;

  .  repurchase agreements;

  .  money market instruments; and

  .  money market mutual funds.

The adviser attempts to manage the Bond Fund's total performance, which includes
both changes in principal value of the Bond Fund's portfolio and income earned,
by anticipating opportunities in the capital markets and risks of changes in
market interest rates. When the adviser expects that market interest rates may
decline, which would cause prices of outstanding bonds to rise, it generally
extends the average maturity of the Bond Fund's portfolio. When the adviser
expects that market interest rates may rise, which would cause prices of
outstanding bonds to decline, it generally shortens the average maturity of the
Bond Fund's portfolio. Further, the adviser attempts to improve the Bond Fund's
total return by weighing the relative value of alternative bond issues having
similar maturities in selecting portfolio securities. By actively managing the
Bond Fund's portfolio in this manner, the adviser seeks to provide capital
appreciation during periods of falling interest rates and protection against
capital depreciation during periods of rising rates.

Equity Fund

The investment objective of the Equity Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
Current income is a secondary consideration in the selection of investments.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund pursues its investment objective by
investing at least 65% of the value of its total assets in a broadly diversified
portfolio of equity securities. The stock selection process emphasizes the
securities of those companies which the Equity Fund's adviser believes offer the
potential for long-term, above-average capital appreciation. In making portfolio
investments, the adviser assesses characteristics such as financial condition,
earnings momentum, earnings variability, trading liquidity, market valuation,
potential for capital gains, and other investment criteria. Securities of other
companies may be attractive in the pursuit of investment value across all
sectors of the stock market, or by virtue of other economic or financial factors
the adviser deems important in the pursuit of the Equity Fund's investment
objective.

                             ACCEPTABLE INVESTMENTS

Acceptable investments include the following:

  .  common stocks of U.S. or foreign companies which are either listed on the
     New York or American Stock Exchange or traded in over-the-counter markets,
     preferred stock of such companies, warrants, and securities convertible
     into or exchangeable for common stock of such companies;

  .  investments in American Depositary Receipts of foreign companies traded on
     the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or in the
     over-the-counter market;

  .  stock index futures;

  .  fixed rate notes and bonds and adjustable and variable rate notes of
     companies whose common stock the Fund may acquire;

  .  zero coupon convertible securities;

  .  certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares, bankers'
     acceptances, deposit notes and other instruments of domestic and foreign
     banks, savings and loans and other deposit or thrift institutions;

  .  repurchase agreements;

  .  money market instruments; and

  .  money market mutual funds.

                           PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS AND
                            STRATEGIES OF THE FUNDS

Government Securities

Except as noted under "Temporary Investments," only the Short Term Yield Fund
and Bond Fund may purchase obligations issued or guaranteed as to payment of
principal and interest by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or
instrumentalities ("Government Securities"). The types of Government Securities
in which these Funds may invest generally include direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury (such as U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds) and obligations issued
or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities. These securities
are backed by:

  .  the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury;

  .  the issuer's right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury;

  .  the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase certain
     obligations of agencies or instrumentalities; or

  .  the credit of the agency or instrumentality issuing the obligations.

Examples of agencies and instrumentalities which may not always receive
financial support from the U.S. government are:

  .  Federal Home Loan Banks;

  .  Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation;

  .  Federal Farm Credit Banks;

  .  The Student Loan Marketing Association; and

  .  Federal National Mortgage Association.

Variable Rate Demand Notes

The Short Term Yield Fund may purchase variable rate demand notes, which are
long-term corporate debt instruments that have variable or floating interest
rates and provide the Short Term Yield Fund with the right to tender the
security for repurchase at its stated principal amount plus accrued interest.
Such securities typically bear interest at a rate that is intended to cause the
securities to trade at par. The interest rate may float or be adjusted at
regular intervals (ranging from daily to annually), and is normally based on a
published interest rate or interest rate index. Many variable rate demand notes
allow the Short Term Yield Fund to demand the repurchase of the security on not
more than seven days prior notice. Other notes only permit the Short Term Yield
Fund to tender the security at the time of each interest rate adjustment or at
other fixed intervals.

Asset-Backed Securities

The Short Term Yield Fund and Bond Fund may purchase asset-backed securities.
Asset-backed securities are created by the grouping of certain governmental,
government related and private loans, receivables and other lender assets into
pools. Interests in these pools are sold as individual securities. Payments from
the asset pools may be divided into several different tranches of debt
securities, with some tranches entitled to receive regular installments of
principal and interest, other tranches entitled to receive regular installments
of interest, with principal payable at maturity or upon specified call dates,
and other tranches only entitled to receive payments of principal and accrued
interest at maturity or upon specified call dates. Different tranches of
securities will bear different interest rates, which may be fixed or floating.
Because the loans held in the asset pool often may be prepaid without penalty or
premium, asset-backed securities are generally subject to higher prepayment
risks than most other types of debt instruments. Prepayment risks on mortgage
securities tend to increase during periods of declining mortgage interest rates,
because many borrowers refinance their mortgages to take advantage of the more
favorable rates. Depending upon market conditions, the yield that the Short Term
Yield Fund and the Bond Fund receive from the reinvestment of such prepayments,
or any scheduled principal payments, may be lower than the yield on the original
mortgage security. As a consequence, mortgage securities may be a less effective
means of "locking in" interest rates than other types of debt securities having
the same stated maturity and may also have less potential for capital
appreciation. For certain types of asset pools, such as collateralized mortgage
obligations, prepayments may be allocated to one tranche of securities ahead of
other tranches, in order to reduce the risk of prepayment for the other
tranches.

Prepayments may result in a capital loss to the Short Term Yield Fund and the
Bond Fund to the extent that the prepaid mortgage securities were purchased at a
market premium over their stated principal amount. Conversely, the prepayment of
mortgage securities purchased at a market discount from their stated principal
amount will accelerate the recognition of interest income by the Short Term
Yield Fund and the Bond Fund, which would be taxed as ordinary income when
distributed to the shareholders.

The credit characteristics of asset-backed securities also differ in a number of
respects from those of traditional debt securities. The credit quality of most
asset-backed securities depends primarily upon the credit quality of the assets
underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the securities is
insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated
entities, and the amount and quality of any credit enhancement to such
securities.

Non-Mortgage Related
Asset-Backed Securities

The Short Term Yield Fund and the Bond Fund may invest in non-mortgage related
asset-backed securities, including interests in pools of receivables, such as
credit card and accounts receivable and motor vehicle and other installment
purchase obligations and leases. These securities may be in the form of
pass-through instruments or asset-backed obligations. The securities are issued
by non-governmental entities and carry no direct or indirect U.S. government
guarantee.

Non-mortgage related asset-backed securities present certain risks that are not
presented by mortgage-related asset-backed securities described below.
Primarily, these securities do not have the benefit of the same security
interest in the related collateral. Credit card receivables are generally
unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the protection of a number of state
and federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such debtors the right to
set off certain amounts owed on the credit cards, thereby reducing the balance
due. Most issuers of asset-backed securities backed by motor vehicle installment
purchase obligations permit the servicer of such receivables to retain the
possession of the underlying obligations. If the servicer sells these
obligations to another party, there is a risk that the purchaser would acquire
an interest superior to that of the holders of the related asset-backed
securities. Further, if a vehicle is registered in one state and is then
reregistered because the owner and obligor moves to another state, such
registration could defeat the original security interest in the vehicle in
certain cases. In addition, because of the large number of vehicles involved in
a typical issuance and technical requirements under state laws, the trustee for
the holders of asset-backed securities backed by automobile receivables may not
have a proper security interest in all of the obligations backing such
receivables. Therefore, there is the possibility that recoveries on repossessed
collateral may not, in some cases, be available to support payments on these
securities.

Mortgage-Related Asset-Backed
Securities

The Short Term Yield Fund and the Bond Fund may also invest in various
mortgage-related asset-backed securities. These types of investments may include
adjustable rate mortgage securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, real
estate mortgage investment conduits, or other securities collateralized by or
representing an interest in real estate mortgages (collectively, "mortgage
securities"). Many mortgage securities are issued or guaranteed by U.S.
government agencies.

                            ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE
                              SECURITIES ("ARMS")

ARMS are pass-through mortgage securities representing interests in adjustable
rather than fixed interest rate mortgages. The ARMS in which the Short Term
Yield Fund and the Bond Fund invest are issued by the Government National
Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA"), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and are
actively traded. The underlying mortgages which collateralize ARMS issued by
GNMA are fully guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or
Veterans Administration ("VA"), while those collateralizing ARMS issued by FHLMC
or FNMA are typically conventional residential mortgages conforming to strict
underwriting size and maturity constraints.

                            COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE
                              OBLIGATIONS ("CMOs")

CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by mortgage loans or mortgage
pass-through securities. Typically, CMOs are collateralized by GNMA, FNMA or
FHLMC certificates, but may be collateralized by whole loans or private
pass-through securities.

The Short Term Yield Fund and the Bond Fund may invest in CMOs which are rated
AAA by a NRSRO, and which may be: (a) collateralized by pools of mortgages in
which each mortgage is guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by an
agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government; (b) collateralized by pools of
mortgages in which payment of principal and interest is guaranteed by the issuer
and such guarantee is collateralized by U.S. government securities; or (c)
securities in which the proceeds of the issuance are invested in mortgage
securities and payment of the principal and interest is supported by the credit
of an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.

Obligations of Foreign Issuers

The Short Term Yield Fund and the Bond Fund may invest in debt obligations of
foreign issuers which are U.S. dollar-denominated and traded on domestic
exchanges or in the over-the-counter market (American Depositary Receipts or
"ADRs"). In addition, the Equity Fund may invest in debt obligations and equity
securities of foreign issuers which are U.S. dollar-denominated and traded on
the New York or American Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or in
the form of ADRs. Obligations of foreign issuers may include debt obligations of
supranational entities, which include international organizations designed or
supported by governmental entities to promote economic reconstruction or
development, and international banking institutions and related government
agencies. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), European Investment Bank,
Asian Development Bank and InterAmerican Development Bank. Each Fund will limit
its investments in non-ADR foreign obligations to less than 5% of its net
assets. Different risks may also exist with respect to investments of foreign
banks because the banks issuing these instruments, or their domestic or foreign
branches, are not necessarily subject to the same regulatory requirements that
apply to domestic banks, such as reserve requirements, loan requirements, loan
limitations, examinations, accounting, auditing, and recordkeeping, and the
public availability of information. These factors will be carefully considered
by the Funds' adviser in selecting investments for the Funds. As a matter of
practice, the Equity Fund will not invest in the securities of a foreign issuer
if the risks associated with such investment appear substantial. (See the
combined Statement of Additional Information for additional risk disclosure on
non-ADR foreign obligations.)

Restricted and Illiquid Securities


The Funds may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any
securities in which the Funds may otherwise invest pursuant to their investment
objectives and policies, but which are subject to restriction on resale under
federal securities law. Such restrictions often impact the marketability of the
investment. However, the Funds will limit investments in illiquid securities,
including certain restricted securities not determined by the Trustees to be
liquid, non-negotiable time deposits, over-the-counter options (in the case of
the Equity Fund), and repurchase agreements providing for settlement in more
than seven days after notice, to 15% of their respective net assets.


The Funds may invest in commercial paper issued in reliance on the exemption
from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Section 4(2) commercial paper is restricted as to disposition under federal
securities law and is generally sold to institutional investors, such as the
Funds, who agree that they are purchasing the paper for investment purposes and
not with a view to public distribution. Any resale by the purchaser must be in
an exempt transaction. Section 4(2) commercial paper is normally resold to other
institutional investors like the Funds through or with the assistance of the
issuer or investment dealers who make a market in Section 4(2) commercial paper,
thus providing liquidity. The Funds believe that Section 4(2) commercial paper
and possibly certain other restricted securities which meet the criteria for
liquidity established by the Trustees are quite liquid. The Funds intend,
therefore, to treat the restricted securities which meet the criteria for
liquidity established by the Trustees, including Section 4(2) commercial paper,
as determined by the adviser, as liquid and not subject to the investment
limitation applicable to illiquid securities. In addition, because Section 4(2)
commercial paper is liquid, the Funds intend to not subject such paper to the
limitation applicable to restricted securities.

Repurchase Agreements

Certain securities in which the Funds invest may be purchased pursuant to
repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are arrangements in which banks,
broker/dealers, and other recognized financial institutions sell securities to
the Funds and agree at the time of sale to repurchase them at a mutually agreed
upon time and price. To the extent that the seller does not repurchase the
securities from the Funds, the Funds could receive more or less than the
repurchase price on any sale of such securities.

When-Issued and Delayed
Delivery Transactions

The Funds may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Funds purchase
securities with payment and delivery scheduled for a future time. The Funds
engage in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions only for the purpose of
acquiring portfolio securities consistent with the Funds' investment objectives
and policies, not for investment leverage. In when-issued and delayed delivery
transactions, the Funds rely on the seller to complete the transaction. The
seller's failure to complete the transaction may cause the Funds to miss a price
or yield considered to be advantageous.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

In order to generate additional income, the Funds may lend their portfolio
securities on a short-term or long-term basis, or both, to broker/dealers,
banks, or other institutional borrowers of securities. The Funds will limit the
amount of portfolio securities they may lend to not more than one-third of their
respective total assets. The Funds will only enter into loan arrangements with
broker/dealers, banks, or other institutions which the adviser has determined
are creditworthy under guidelines established by the Trustees and will receive
collateral equal to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned.

Temporary Investments

For defensive purposes only, the Funds may also invest in cash and cash items
during times of unusual market conditions and to maintain liquidity. Cash items
may include short-term obligations such as:

  .  with respect to the Short Term Yield Fund, commercial paper rated A-1 or
     A-2 by S&P, Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's, or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch;

  .  with respect to the Bond Fund and the Equity Fund, commercial paper rated
     A-1 by S&P, Prime-1 by Moody's or F-1 by Fitch;

  .  obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities;
     and

  .  repurchase agreements.

Average Portfolio Maturity

None of the Funds maintain a stable net asset value. However, the adviser will
seek to limit, to the extent consistent with the Short Term Yield Fund's
investment objective of current income, the magnitude of fluctuations in the
Short Term Yield Fund's net asset value by limiting the dollar-weighted average
maturity of the Short Term Yield Fund's portfolio to three years or less.
Similarly, to the extent consistent with the Bond Fund's investment objective of
high current income and capital appreciation, the adviser will seek to limit the
magnitude of fluctuations in the Bond Fund's net asset value by limiting the
dollar-weighted average maturity of the Bond Fund's portfolio to twelve years or
less. Securities with shorter maturities generally have less price movement than
securities of comparable quality with longer maturities. In periods of
anticipated rising interest rates, a greater portion of the assets of the Short
Term Yield Fund and the Bond Fund may be invested in securities the value of
which are believed to be less sensitive to interest rate changes.

Portfolio Turnover

Although the Funds do not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking short-term
profits, securities in a Fund's portfolio will be sold whenever the adviser
believes it is appropriate to do so in light of a Fund's investment objective,
without regard to the length of time a particular security may have been held.
The adviser does not anticipate that the annual portfolio turnover rate will
generally exceed 200% for the Bond Fund, 100% for the Short Term Yield Fund or
150% for the Equity Fund under normal market conditions. The high portfolio
turnover rates for the Bond Fund and Equity Fund may lead to increased costs and
may also result in higher taxes paid by such Funds' shareholders.

Ratings

The Bond Fund only may invest in debt securities that are investment grade; that
is, rated Baa or higher by Moody's, or BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch, or, if
unrated, judged by the adviser to be of comparable quality. Moody's, S&P, and
Fitch believe that securities rated Baa or BBB, while of investment grade, have
speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. If an investment grade security loses its rating
or has its rating reduced after the Bond Fund has purchased it, the Bond Fund is
not required to sell the security from its portfolio; however, the adviser will
endeavor to dispose of the security as soon as practicable thereafter, taking
into account existing market conditions.

The Equity Fund will limit its investment in debt securities to those which are
rated by one or more NRSROs in one of the three highest rating categories at the
time of purchase (e.g., AAA, AA or A by S&P or Fitch, or Aaa, Aa or A by
Moody's). The Equity Fund may also invest in unrated debt securities that are
determined by the adviser to be of comparable quality to securities having such
ratings.

Downgrades will be evaluated on a case by case basis by the adviser. The adviser
will determine whether or not the downgraded security continues to be an
acceptable investment. If not, the security will be sold.

Futures and Options Transactions

The Equity Fund may engage in the following futures and options transactions.

                            WRITING COVERED OPTIONS

The Equity Fund may write (i.e., sell) covered call options. By writing a call
option, the Equity Fund becomes obligated during the term of the option to
deliver the securities underlying the option upon payment of the exercise price.

The Equity Fund May Only Write "Covered" Call Options. This means that so long
as the Equity Fund is obligated as the writer of a call option, it will own the
underlying securities subject to the option or, in the case of call options on
U.S. Treasury bills, the Equity Fund might own substantially similar U.S.
Treasury bills.

The principal reason for writing call options is to obtain, through a receipt of
premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying
securities alone. The Equity Fund receives a premium from writing a call option
which it retains whether or not the option is exercised. By writing a call
option, the Equity Fund might lose the potential for gain on the underlying
security while the option is open. Prior to the exercise of an option, the
Equity Fund has the right to buy out the option position at the then prevailing
price.

                               FUTURES CONTRACTS

The Equity Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts to hedge all
or a portion of its portfolio against changes in the price of its portfolio
securities, but will not engage in futures transactions for speculative
purposes.

                                  FUTURES AND
                            OPTIONS TRADING MARKETS

Futures and options in which the Equity Fund will trade must be listed on
national securities exchanges. Exchanges on which such options currently are
traded are the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the New York, American,
Pacific and Philadelphia Stock Exchanges.

Risks. When the Equity Fund writes a covered call option, the Equity Fund risks
not participating in any rise in the value of the underlying security. When the
Equity Fund uses futures as a hedging device, there is a risk that the prices of
the securities subject to the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with
the prices of the securities in the Equity Fund's portfolio. This may cause the
futures contract to react differently than the portfolio securities to market
changes. In addition, the adviser could be incorrect in its expectations about
the direction or extent of market factors, such as interest rate and stock price
movements. In these events, the Equity Fund may lose money on the futures
contract.

It is not certain that a secondary market for positions in futures contracts
will exist at all times. Although the adviser will consider liquidity before
entering into transactions, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market
will exist for any particular futures contract at any point in time. The Equity
Fund's ability to establish and close out futures positions depends on this
secondary market.

The Equity Fund may not purchase or sell futures contracts if immediately
thereafter the sum of the amount of margin deposits on the Equity Fund's
existing futures positions and premiums paid for related options would exceed 5%
of the market value of the Equity Fund's total assets.

                             INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

The Funds will not borrow money directly or through reverse repurchase
agreements (arrangements in which the Fund sells a portfolio instrument for a
percentage of its cash value with an agreement to buy it back on a set date) or
pledge securities except, under certain circumstances, the Funds may borrow up
to one-third of the value of their respective total assets and pledge up to 15%
of the value of those assets to secure such borrowings.

With respect to 75% of the value of total assets, each Fund will invest no more
than 5% in securities of any one issuer or acquire more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, other than cash, cash items or
securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or its
agencies or instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S.
government securities.

The above limitations cannot be changed without shareholder approval.



                              BAYFUNDS INFORMATION

Management of BayFunds

                               BOARD OF TRUSTEES

BayFunds is managed by a Board of Trustees. The Trustees are responsible for
managing BayFunds' business affairs and for exercising all BayFunds' powers
except those reserved for the shareholders.

                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

Pursuant to an investment advisory contract with BayFunds, investment decisions
for the Funds are made by BayBanks Investment Management, Inc., the Funds'
investment adviser (the "Adviser"), subject to direction by the Trustees. The
Adviser continually conducts investment research and supervision for the Funds
and is responsible for the purchase and sale of portfolio instruments, for which
it receives an annual fee from the Funds.

Advisory Fees

The Adviser receives an annual investment advisory fee equal to .50 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Short Term Yield Fund, .60 of 1% of the average
daily net assets of the Bond Fund and .70 of 1% of the average daily net assets
of the Equity Fund. The Adviser has undertaken to reimburse the Funds, up to the
amount of the advisory fee, for operating expenses in excess of limitations
established by certain states. The Adviser may also voluntarily choose to waive
a portion of its fee or reimburse the Funds for certain other expenses, but
reserves the right to terminate such waiver or reimbursement at any time at its
sole discretion.

Adviser's Background


The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BayBanks, Inc., a bank holding
company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. BayBanks,
Inc., through its banking subsidiaries (hereinafter "BayBanks") and affiliates,
offers a full range of financial services to the public, including depository
services, commercial lending, cash management, brokerage, retail banking,
mortgage banking, and investment advisory and trust services. As part of their
regular banking operations, BayBanks may make loans to public companies. Thus,
it may be possible, from time to time, for the Funds to hold or acquire the
securities of issuers which are also lending clients of BayBanks. The lending
relationship will not be a factor in the selection of securities.

The Adviser is a registered investment adviser and provides investment advisory
services for trust and other managed assets. The Adviser was established as a
separate subsidiary of BayBanks, Inc. in 1985, but its predecessor division and
personnel have been providing investment advisory services to BayBanks'
customers for more than 65 years. As of December 31, 1993, the Trust Division of
BayBank, a state-chartered affiliate of the Adviser, acted as custodian for
assets totaling $4.7 billion. Of this amount, the Adviser managed $2.7 billion
of discretionary assets. The Adviser and BayBanks have been managing commingled
funds for over twenty years. At the present time, the Adviser serves as adviser
to five such commingled funds with total assets of approximately $290 million.
The Adviser has managed mutual funds since August 1991 and manages approximately
$562 million (as of December 31, 1993) in various BayFunds portfolios.

BayBank Boston, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser, through its Capital Markets
Division, manages more than $2 billion of assets in the investment portfolios of

Expenses of the Funds and Shares


The Funds pay all of their own expenses and their allocable share of BayFunds'
expenses. The expenses borne by the Funds include the following types of
expenses: organization fees; Trustees fees; fees for those management and
administration services described above (including legal, audit and custodian
fees); and printing, registration and mailing costs for legally required
documents and reports to shareholders and government agencies. The Adviser may
voluntarily waive some expenses and has, in addition, undertaken to reimburse
the Funds, up to the amount of the advisory fee, the amount by which operating
expenses exceed limitations imposed by certain states.

At present, the only expenses allocated to shares as a class are expenses under
the Funds' Shareholder Servicing Plan which only relates to the Investment
Shares. However, the Trustees reserve the right to allocate certain other
expenses to holders of shares as it deems appropriate ("Class Expenses").




                                NET ASSET VALUE


Each Fund's net asset value per share fluctuates. Net asset value per share for
purposes of pricing purchases and redemptions is calculated by dividing the
market value of all securities and other assets belonging to a Fund, less the
liabilities charged to the Fund, by the number of outstanding shares of the
Fund. The net asset value for Institutional Shares of a Fund may be greater than
that of Investment Shares of a Fund due to the variance in daily net income
realized by each class as a result of shareholder servicing fees incurred by the
Investment Shares. Such variance will reflect only accrued net income to which
the shareholders of a particular class are entitled.


Pricing of Shares

The net asset value of each Fund is determined at the close of regular trading
hours on the New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Monday
through Friday, except on: (i) the following holidays: New Year's Day,
Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day; (ii) days on which there are not sufficient
changes in the value of a Fund's portfolio securities that its net asset value
might be materially affected; and (iii) days during which no Shares are tendered
for redemption and no orders to purchase Shares are received.

                              INVESTING IN SHARES

Minimum Investment

Shares are offered to trusts, fiduciaries and other institutions (collectively
referred to as the "Institution"). The minimum initial investment by an
Institution is $10,000, and subsequent investments must be in amounts of at
least $100. The Funds may waive any investment minimums from time to time. An
Institution will set minimums for its customers.

Shares are purchased and redeemed with no sales loads or redemption fees imposed
by the Funds. Depending upon the terms of each customer account, an Institution
may charge the customer account fees for services it provides, such as automatic
investment, cash management, dividend payment processing, information regarding
customer position, and sub-accounting with respect to customer accounts. Such
fees may include compensating balance requirements or account maintenance fees,
or may be based on account assets or transactions. Customers should obtain
information about account services and fees directly from their Institution
before authorizing the purchase of Shares, and this prospectus should be read in
conjunction with any such information.

How Shares Are Purchased

Shares may be purchased in accordance with procedures established by an
Institution in connection with the requirements of its customer accounts.
Procedures applicable to each Institution and each customer account governing
the purchase of Shares will differ.

Customers should consult their trust account relationship manager at this
Institution for further information and procedures on purchasing Shares. This
prospectus should be read in conjunction with any materials provided by the
Institution regarding such procedures.

When Shares May Be Purchased


The Funds offer Shares only on days on which the New York Stock Exchange and the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston are open for business ("Business Days"). In
addition to the holidays listed above under "Pricing of Shares," other non-
Business Days include Martin Luther King's Day, Columbus Day and Veteran's Day.
Orders received by the Transfer Agent on a non-Business Day will not be executed
until the next Business Day in accordance with the Distributor's procedures. The
Funds and the Distributor reserve the right to reject any purchase request.


When Purchases Are Effective

Orders by an Institution to purchase Shares that are received in good order and
accepted by the Fund from the Transfer Agent by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a
Business Day will be executed at the net asset value next determined. The
Transfer Agent will not communicate purchase orders to the Fund until the
Transfer Agent has received the purchase price in Federal funds or other
immediately available funds. When you purchase Shares by check, the order is
considered received when the check is converted into Federal funds, normally
within two Business Days. BayBanks acts as the shareholder's agent in depositing
checks and converting them to Federal funds.

Each Institution is responsible for prompt transmission of purchase orders to
the Funds in accordance with terms of its customer agreements.

Texas residents must purchase Shares through the Distributor at 1-800-356-2805.

Exchanging Securities for Shares of the Funds

The Funds may accept securities in exchange for Shares. A Fund will allow such
exchanges only upon the prior approval of the Fund and a determination by the
Fund and the Adviser that the securities to be exchanged are acceptable.


Any securities exchanged must meet the investment objective and policies of the
particular Fund, must have a readily ascertainable market value, and must be
liquid. The market value of any securities exchanged in an initial investment,
plus any cash, must be at least $100,000.


Securities accepted by a Fund will be valued in the same manner as the Fund
values its assets. The basis of the exchange will depend upon the net asset
value of the Shares on the day the securities are valued. One Share of the Fund
will be issued for each equivalent amount of securities accepted.

Any interest earned on the securities prior to the exchange will be considered
in valuing the securities. All interest, dividends, subscription or other rights
attached to the securities become the property of the Fund, along with the
securities.



                              EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES


BayFunds consists of the Funds, the BayFunds U.S. Treasury Money Market
Portfolio and the BayFunds Money Market Portfolio. Institutions may access other
portfolios ("Participating Funds") of BayFunds through an exchange program.
Institutions may also purchase BayFunds Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash
Trust with redemption proceeds of a BayFunds portfolio. A customer of BayBanks
may telephone the BayBanks Trust Department toll-free at 1-800-462-9999.
BayBanks Capital Markets customers should call 1-800-554-3311. Participants in
Employee Benefits programs should contact their Plan Administrator.


Procedures will be established by each Institution in connection with the
requirements of its customer accounts and the Participating Funds. Customers
should contact their Institution to obtain further information on exchange
privileges. Prior to any such exchange, the Institution must provide a copy of
the current prospectus of the Participating Fund into which an exchange is to be
effected. The exchange privilege is available to shareholders in any state in
which the Participating Fund's shares being acquired may be sold.

                                REDEEMING SHARES

When Shares May Be Redeemed

Shares may be redeemed in accordance with procedures established by an
Institution in connection with the requirements of its customer accounts.
Procedures applicable to each Institution and each customer account governing
the redemption of Shares will differ. Customers should contact their Institution
for further information. Each Institution is responsible for transmitting
redemption orders promptly to the Funds and crediting customers' accounts with
redemption proceeds on a timely basis.

When Redemptions Are Effective

Redemption orders are effective at the net asset value per Share next determined
after proper receipt of the redemption request by the Fund from the Transfer
Agent in proper form. Redemption orders can be executed only on Business Days.
If your redemption request is received by the Transfer Agent on a non-Business
Day, the Transfer Agent will not communicate your redemption request to the Fund
until the next Business Day. Payment for redemption orders received by the
Transfer Agent by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day will normally be
wired the next Business Day to the Institution for credit to customer accounts.
Shares so redeemed will not be eligible to receive the dividend declared on the
redemption date. Payment for redemption orders received after 4:00 p.m. (Eastern
time) or on a non-Business Day will normally be wired in Federal funds to the
Institution for credit to customer accounts of the Business Day following the
Business Day on which the redemption order is effected.

The Funds assess no charges for wiring redemption proceeds. However,
Institutions may charge customer accounts for redemption services. Information
relating to such redemption services and charges, if any, are available from the
Institutions.

The Funds reserve the right to wire redemption proceeds within five Business
Days after receiving the redemption order if, in their judgment, an earlier
payment could adversely affect the Funds.


Redemptions Before Purchase Instruments Clear

If any portion of a Fund's Shares to be redeemed represents an investment made
with uncollected funds, the Fund reserves the right to delay payment of proceeds
until BayBanks is reasonably certain that the funds have been collected, which
could take up to five Business Days.


                            SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Balances in Accounts

A Fund may redeem Shares if an Institution's account falls below $10,000.
However, before Shares are redeemed to close an account, the Institution will be
notified in writing and given 60 days to purchase additional Shares to meet the
minimum balance requirement. The Funds reserve the right to amend this standard
upon 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders. The Funds also reserve the
right to redeem their Shares involuntarily or to make payment for redemptions in
the form of securities if it appears appropriate to do so in light of their
responsibilities under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Customers should
consult their relevant account agreements for any applicable balance
requirements.

Dividends and Distributions

Dividends from the Funds' net investment income of the Short Term Yield Fund and
Bond Fund are declared daily, immediately prior to the 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
pricing of the Shares. Dividends of the Short Term Yield Fund and Bond Fund are
paid monthly within five Business Days after the end of such calendar month to
all shareholders invested in such Funds on the record date. Dividends from the
Equity Fund's net investment income are declared and paid quarterly within five
Business Days after the end of such calendar quarter to all shareholders
invested in the Equity Fund on the record date. Net realized capital gains are
distributed at least annually.

Institutions may elect to (a) have their dividends and distributions
automatically reinvested in additional Shares at the net asset value next
determined on the payment dates, (b) receive their dividends and distributions
in cash, or (c) receive a combination of additional Shares and cash. It is
expected that customers of an Institution's automatic investment program will
receive all dividends and distributions in cash credited to their account
pursuant to the terms of their agreement with an Institution; all other
customers should contact their Institution for further information about
dividend elections.

Confirmations and Statements


Confirmations are sent to the Institutions (at least monthly in the case of the
Income Funds and at least quarterly in the case of the Equity Fund) to report
transactions such as purchases and redemptions as well as dividends paid. It is
the responsibility of the Institutions to provide the customers with
confirmations and statements of account with respect to Share transactions made
for their accounts at the Institutions in accordance with procedures established
by the Institutions.


Fund Shares will be held of record by the Institutions or in the name of a
nominee of the Institutions. Beneficial ownership of Shares will be recorded by
the Institutions and reflected in statements of account provided by the
Institutions to their customers. Share certificates are not issued.

Voting Rights

Each share of a Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All shares of each portfolio
in BayFunds have equal voting rights except that, in matters affecting only a
particular fund or class, only shares of that particular fund or class are
entitled to vote.


As a Massachusetts business trust, BayFunds is not required to hold annual
shareholder meetings. Shareholder approval will be sought only for certain
changes in BayFunds' or a Funds' operation and for the election of Trustees
under certain circumstances. As of March 30, 1994, Slatt & Co., Burlington,
Massachusetts, acting in various capacities for numerous accounts, was the owner
of record of 9,073,743 Shares (99.99%) of the Short Term Yield Fund, 6,556,153
Shares (99.99%) of the Bond Fund, and 8,028,421 Shares (99.99%) of the Equity
Fund, and therefore, may for certain purposes, be deemed to control the Funds
and be able to affect the outcome of certain matters presented for a vote of
shareholders. Trustees may be removed by a two-thirds vote of the number of
Trustees prior to such removal or by a two-thirds vote of the shareholders at a
special meeting. A special meeting of shareholders shall be called by the
Trustees upon the written request of shareholders owning at least 10% of
BayFunds' outstanding shares of all portfolios entitled to vote.




                              AUTHORITY TO ACT AS
                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

The Glass-Steagall Act and other banking laws and regulations presently prohibit
a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, or any affiliate thereof, from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company continuously engaged in the issuance of
its shares, and from issuing, underwriting, selling or distributing securities
in general. Such laws and regulations do not prohibit such a holding company or
affiliate from acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such
an investment company or from purchasing shares of such a company as agent for
and upon the order of their customer. The Funds' investment adviser, BayBanks
Investment Management, Inc., is subject to such banking laws and regulations.

The Adviser believes that it may perform the investment advisory services for
the Funds contemplated by its advisory agreement with BayFunds without violating
the Glass-Steagall Act or other applicable banking laws or regulations. Changes
in either federal or state statutes and regulations relating to the permissible
activities of banks and their subsidiaries or affiliates, as well as further
judicial or administrative decisions or interpretations of present or future
statutes and regulations, could prevent the Adviser from continuing to perform
all or a part of the above services for its customers and/or the Funds. In such
event, changes in the operation of the Funds may occur, including the possible
alteration or, termination of any automatic or other Fund share investment and
redemption services then being provided, and the Trustees would consider
alternative investment advisers and other means of continuing available
investment services. It is not expected that Fund shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences (if another adviser with equivalent abilities to
BayBanks Investment Management, Inc. is found) as a result of any of these
occurrences.

State securities laws governing the ability of depository institutions to act as
underwriters or distributors of securities may differ from interpretations given
to the Glass-Steagall Act and, therefore, banks and financial institutions may
be required to register as dealers pursuant to state laws.



                                TAX INFORMATION

Federal Income Tax

Each Fund intends to meet requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies in order not to be liable for any Federal
income taxes or income and gains distributed to the Fund's shareholders. Each
Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized gains at least annually.

Each Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for Federal income tax
purposes.

Unless otherwise exempt, shareholders are required to pay federal income tax on
any dividends and other distributions received. This applies whether dividends
and distributions are received in cash or as additional Shares. Distributions
from the Funds' net investment income and short-term capital gains of the Short
Term Yield Fund and Bond Fund will be taxed as ordinary income and will not be
eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations.
However, the dividends received deduction for corporations will apply to
ordinary income distributions of the Equity Fund to the extent the distribution
represents amounts that would qualify for the dividends received deduction to
the Equity Fund if the Equity Fund were a regular corporation, and to the extent
designated by the Equity Fund as so qualifying. These dividends and any
short-term capital gains are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of net
long-term capital gains will be taxed as such regardless of how long the Shares
have been held.

Early each year, each Fund will notify its shareholders of the amount and tax
status of distributions paid to the shareholder for the preceding year.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the status of
their accounts under state and local laws.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
performance and yield of the Funds may be quoted and compared to those of other
mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant bond or equity
indices or to rankings prepared by independent services or other financial or
industry publications that monitor the performance of mutual funds. For example,
the performance of the Funds may be compared to data prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc., a widely recognized independent service which
monitors the performance of mutual funds.

National financial publications in which performance and yield data are reported
may include The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, or Money
magazine. Publications of a local or regional nature, such as The Boston Globe
or The Boston Herald, may also be used in comparing the performance and yield of
the Funds.

Total return represents the change, over a specified period of time, in the
value of an investment in Shares after reinvesting all income and capital gains
distributions. It is calculated by dividing that change by the initial
investment and is expressed as a percentage.

The yield of Shares is calculated by dividing the net investment income per
share (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) earned by Shares
over a thirty-day period by the net asset value per share of those Shares on the
last day of the period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual
compounding. The yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned by
the Shares and, therefore, may not correlate to the dividends or other
distributions paid to shareholders.

Yield and total return will be calculated separately for Institutional Shares
and Investment Shares. Because Institutional Shares are not subject to
shareholder servicing fees, the yield and total return of Institutional Shares
of a Fund for the same period will exceed that of its Investment Shares.

Shares of the Funds are sold without any sales load or other similar
non-recurring charges.


Distribution Rate

The Funds may quote non-standardized yield in the form of a distribution rate.
In such case, the Short Term Yield Fund calculates its yield daily, as of the
date preceding the calculation, based upon the thirty days ending on the day of
the calculation. This yield is computed by:

  .  adding the average daily interest accrued to the average daily original
     issue discount earned per share on the Fund's portfolio for that thirty-day
     period, exclusive of gains or losses on portfolio instruments, including
     short-term capital gains;

  .  subtracting the average daily provision for expenses per share for the
     thirty-day period;

  .  multiplying by the number of days in the current month times twelve; and

  .  dividing by the thirty-day average net asset value per share.

The Bond Fund calculates its yield daily, as of the date preceding the
calculation, based upon the thirty days ending on the day of the calculation.
This yield is computed by:

  .  adding the average daily interest accrued to the average daily discount
     earned (including original issue discount) per share on the Fund's
     portfolio for that thirty-day period, exclusive of gains or losses on
     portfolio instruments;

  .  subtracting the average daily provision for expenses per share for the
     thirty-day period;

  .  multiplying by 365 days; and

  .  dividing by the thirty-day average net asset value per share.

The Equity Fund calculates its annualized current net yield daily as of the date
preceding the calculation. The calculation is made by:

  .  dividing the most recent quarterly dividend (including any short-term
     capital gains) times four by

  .  the offering price per share for that day.



                            OTHER CLASSES OF SHARES


Investment Shares are designed primarily for individuals who purchase shares
through BayBanks and its affiliates. Investment Shares are subject to a minimum
initial investment of $2,500, or $500 if in connection with participation in the
Automatic Investment Program or through an IRA. Investment Shares are sold at
net asset value and are subject to a shareholder servicing fee.

The amount of dividends payable to Institutional Shares of a Fund will exceed
that of its Investment Shares by the difference between Class Expenses and
shareholder servicing fees borne by shares of each respective class of shares of
the Fund. (Currently, there are no differences in Class Expenses ther than
shareholder servicing fees.)


The stated advisory fee is the same for both
classes of shares of a Fund.

Investment Objective and Policies


BayFunds offers you a convenient and affordable way to participate in five
separate, professionally managed, diversified investment portfolios (the
"Funds") with distinct investment objectives and policies. This prospectus
relates only to the Investment Shares of the BayFunds Equity Portfolio.

   BayFunds Equity Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation,
   by investing under normal market and economic conditions, at least 65% of
   the value of its total assets in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity
   securities, with current income as a secondary investment consideration.

As of the date of this prospectus, BayFunds offers shares in four other Funds:

   BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio seeks a high level of current income
   consistent with preservation of capital, by investing in a diversified
   portfolio of high-grade debt obligations. The Fund will maintain a dollar-
   weighted average maturity of three years or less;

   BayFunds Bond Portfolio seeks to achieve high current income and capital
   appreciation, by investing, under normal market and economic conditions, at
   least 65% of of the value of its total assets in bonds. The Fund will
   maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of twelve years or less;

   BayFunds Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide current income consistent
   with stability of principal and liquidity, by investing in a portfolio of
   money market instruments with remaining maturities of 397 days or less; and
   BayFunds U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide current income
   consistent with stability of principal and liquidity, by investing, under
   normal market conditions, at least 65% of the value of its total assets in
   U.S. Treasury Obligations with remaining maturities of 397 days or less.

Shareholders may exchange Investment Shares in the Fund for Investment Shares in
the other Funds, without any redemption fee or other charge. (See "Exchange

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

BayFunds was established as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration
of Trust dated April 1, 1991. The Declaration of Trust permits BayFunds to offer
separate series of shares of beneficial interest representing interests in
separate portfolios of securities. The shares in any one portfolio may be
offered in separate classes. With respect to this Fund, as of the date of this
prospectus, the Board of Trustees ("Trustees") has established two classes of
shares, Investment Shares and Institutional Shares. This prospectus relates only
to Investment Shares ("Shares") of the Fund.


The Shares are designed primarily for individuals who purchase shares through
BayBanks and its affiliates and seek a convenient means of accumulating an
interest in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio consisting primarily
of equity securities.



Shares are currently sold and redeemed at net asset value without a sales charge
imposed by the Fund. For information on how to purchase Shares of the Fund,
please refer to "Investing in Shares." A minimum initial investment of $2,500 is
required. This minimum requirement may be reduced to $500 in connection with
participation in the Automatic Investment Program or investments through an IRA.
Information on redeeming Shares may be found under "Redeeming Shares."


The other portfolios in BayFunds are: BayFunds Money Market Portfolio; BayFunds
U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio; BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio; and
BayFunds Bond Portfolio.

                             INVESTMENT INFORMATION

   If you are seeking long-term capital appreciation and current income is not
   your primary consideration, then the Fund may be a suitable investment.

Investment Objective

The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation. Current
income is a secondary consideration in the selection of investments. The
investment objective cannot be changed without the approval of the Fund's
shareholders. While there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its
investment objective, it endeavors to do so by following the investment policies
described in this prospectus.

Investment Policies

Under normal market and economic conditions, the Fund pursues its investment
objective by investing at least 65% of the value of its total assets in a
broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities. The stock selection process
emphasizes the securities of those companies which the Adviser believes offer
the potential for long-term, above-average capital appreciation. In making
portfolio investments, the Adviser assesses characteristics such as financial
condition, earnings momentum, earnings variability, trading liquidity, market
valuation, potential for capital gains, and other investment criteria.
Securities of other companies may be attractive in the pursuit of investment
value across all sectors of the stock market, or by virtue of other economic or
financial factors the Adviser deems important in the pursuit of the Fund's
investment objective. Unless indicated otherwise, the investment policies may be
changed by the Trustees without the approval of shareholders. Shareholders will
be notified before any material change in these policies becomes effective.

Acceptable Investments

Acceptable investments include the following:

   common stocks of U.S. or foreign companies which are either listed on the New
   York or American Stock Exchange or traded in over-the-counter markets,
   preferred stock of such companies, warrants, and securities convertible into
   or exchangeable for common stock of such companies;

   investments in American Depositary Receipts of foreign companies traded on
   the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or in the
   over-the-counter market;

   stock index futures;

   fixed rate notes and bonds and adjustable and variable rate notes of
   companies whose common stock the Fund may acquire;

   zero coupon convertible securities;

   certificates of deposit, demand and time deposits, savings shares, bankers'
   acceptances, deposit notes and other instruments of domestic and foreign
   banks, savings and loans and other deposit or thrift institutions;

   repurchase agreements;

   money market instruments; and

   money market mutual funds.

                         SECURITIES OF FOREIGN ISSUERS

The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers which are U.S.
dollar-denominated and traded on the New York or American Stock Exchange or in
the over-the-counter market or in the form of American Depositary Receipts
("ADRs").

The Fund will limit its investments in non-ADR foreign obligations to less than
5% of its net assets. As a matter of practice, the Fund will not invest in the
securities of a foreign issuer if the risks associated with such investment
appear substantial. (See the Statement of Additional Information for additional
risk disclosure on non-ADR foreign obligations.)

                        FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS

Writing Covered Options

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) covered call options. By writing a call option,
the Fund becomes obligated during the term of the option to deliver the
securities underlying the option upon payment of the exercise price.

The Fund May Only Write "Covered" Call Options. This means that so long as the
Fund is obligated as the writer of a call option, it will own the underlying
securities subject to the option or, in the case of call options on U.S.
Treasury bills, the Fund might own substantially similar U.S. Treasury bills.

The principal reason for writing call options is to obtain, through a receipt of
premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying
securities alone. The Fund receives a premium from writing a call option which
it retains whether or not the option is exercised. By writing a call option, the
Fund might lose the potential for gain on the underlying security while the
option is open. Prior to the exercise of an option, the Fund has the right to
buy out the option position at the then prevailing price.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts to hedge all or a
portion of its portfolio against changes in the price of its portfolio
securities, but will not engage in futures transactions for speculative
purposes.

Futures and Options Trading Markets

Futures and options which the Fund will trade must be listed on national
securities exchanges. Exchanges on which such options currently are
traded are the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the New York, American,
Pacific and Philadelphia Stock Exchanges.

Risks. When the Fund writes a covered call option, the Fund risks not
participating in any rise in the value of the underlying security. When the Fund
uses futures as a hedging device, there is a risk that the prices of the
securities subject to the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the
prices of the securities in the Fund's portfolio. This may cause the futures
contract to react differently than the portfolio securities to market changes.
In addition, the Adviser could be incorrect in its expectations about the
direction or extent of market factors, such as interest rate and stock price
movements. In these events, the Fund may lose money on the futures contract.
It is not certain that a secondary market for positions in futures contracts
will exist at all times. Although the Adviser will consider liquidity before
entering into transactions, there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market
will exist for any particular futures contract at any point in time. The Fund's
ability to establish and close out futures positions depends on this secondary
market.
The Fund may not purchase or sell futures contracts if immediately thereafter
the sum of the amount of margin deposits on the Fund's existing futures
positions and premiums paid for related options would exceed 5% of the market
value of the Fund's total assets.


                       RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES

The Fund may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities are any
securities in which the Fund may otherwise invest pursuant to its investment
objective and policies, but which are subject to restriction on resale under
federal securities law. Such restrictions often impact the marketability of the
investment. However, the Fund will limit investments in illiquid securities,
including certain restricted securities not determined by the Trustees to be
liquid, non-negotiable time deposits, over-the-counter options and repurchase
agreements providing for settlement in more than seven days after notice, to 15%
of its net assets.

The Fund may invest in commercial paper issued in reliance on the exemption from
registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Section
4(2) commercial paper is restricted as to disposition under federal securities
law and is generally sold to institutional investors, such as the Fund, who
agree that they are purchasing the paper for investment purposes and not with a
view to public distribution. Any resale by the purchaser must be in an exempt
transaction. Section 4(2) commercial paper is normally resold to other
institutional investors, like the Fund, through or with the assistance of the
issuer or investment dealers who make a market in Section 4(2) commercial paper,
thus providing liquidity. The Fund believes that Section 4(2) commercial paper
and possibly certain other restricted securities which meet the criteria for
liquidity established by the Trustees are quite liquid. The Fund intends,
therefore, to treat the restricted securities which meet the criteria for
liquidity established by the Trustees, including Section 4(2) commercial paper,
as determined by the adviser, as liquid and not subject to the investment
limitation applicable to illiquid securities. In addition, because Section 4(2)
commercial paper is liquid, the Fund intends to not subject such paper to the
limitation applicable to restricted securities.


                             REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Certain securities in which the Fund invests may be purchased pursuant to
repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are arrangements in which banks,
broker/dealers, and other recognized financial institutions sell securities to
the Fund and agree at the time of sale to repurchase them at a mutually agreed
upon time and price. To the extent that the seller does not repurchase the
securities from the Fund, the Fund could receive more or less than the
repurchase price on any sale of such securities.

                        LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend its portfolio
securities on a short-term or long-term basis, or both, to broker/dealers,
banks, or other institutional borrowers of securities. The Fund will limit the
amount of portfolio securities it may lend to not more than one-third of its
total assets. The Fund will only enter into loan arrangements with
broker/dealers, banks, or other institutions which the Adviser has determined
are creditworthy under guidelines established by the Trustees and will receive
collateral equal to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned.

                 WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS

The Fund may purchase portfolio securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis. These transactions are arrangements in which the Fund purchases
securities with payment and delivery scheduled for a future time. The Fund
engages in when-issued and delayed delivery transactions only for the purpose of
acquiring portfolio securities consistent with the Fund's investment objective
and policies, not for investment leverage. In when-issued and delayed delivery
transactions, the Fund relies on the seller to complete the transaction. The
seller's failure to complete the transaction may cause the Fund to miss a price
or yield considered to be advantageous.

                             TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS

For defensive purposes only, the Fund may also invest in cash and cash items
during times of unusual market conditions and to maintain liquidity. Cash items
may include short-term obligations such as:

   commercial paper rated A-1 by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P"), Prime-1
   by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or F-1 by Fitch Investors
   Service, Inc. ("Fitch");

   obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; and

   repurchase agreements.

                               PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

Although the Fund does not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking
short-term profits, securities in its portfolio will be sold whenever the
Adviser believes it is appropriate to do so in light of the Fund's investment
objective, without regard to the length of time a particular security may have
been held. The Adviser does not anticipate that the Fund's annual portfolio
turnover rate will generally exceed 150% under normal market conditions. A high
portfolio turnover rate may lead to increased costs and may also result in
higher taxes paid by the Fund's shareholders.

                                    RATINGS

The Fund will limit its investment in debt securities to those which are rated
by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs")
in one of the three highest rating categories at the time of purchase (e.g.,
AAA, AA or A by S&P or Fitch, or Aaa, Aa or A by Moody's). The Fund may purchase
commercial paper rated by one or more NRSROs in their highest category at the
time of purchase (e.g., A-1 by S&P, Prime-1 by Moody's, or F-1 by Fitch).

Downgrades will be evaluated on a case by case basis by the Adviser. The Adviser
will determine whether or not the security continues to be an acceptable
investment. If not, the security will be sold. The Fund may also invest in
unrated debt securities that are determined by the Adviser to be of comparable
quality to securities having such ratings.

Investment Limitations

The Fund will not:

   borrow money directly or through reverse repurchase agreements (arrangements
   in which the Fund sells a portfolio instrument for a percentage of its cash
   value with an agreement to buy it back on a set date) or pledge securities
   except, under certain circumstances, the Fund may borrow up to one-third of
   the value of its total assets and pledge up to 15% of the value of those
   assets to secure such borrowings; and

   with respect to 75% of the value of total assets, the Fund will not invest
   more than 5% in securities of any one issuer or acquire more than 10% of the
   outstanding voting securities of any one issuer, other than cash, cash items
   or securities issued or guaranteed by the government of the United States or
   its agencies or instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements collateralized
   by U.S. government securities.

The above investment limitations cannot be changed without shareholder approval.

In addition, the Fund will not invest more than 15% of the value of its net
assets in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements providing for
settlement in more than seven days after notice, over-the-counter options and
certain restricted securities not determined by the Trustees to be liquid. This
investment limitation may be changed by the Trustees without shareholder
approval. Shareholders will be notified before any material change in this
limitation becomes effective.

Management of BayFunds

                               BOARD OF TRUSTEES

   A Board of Trustees supervises BayFunds.

BayFunds is managed by a Board of Trustees.
The Trustees are responsible for managing BayFunds' business affairs and for
exercising all BayFunds' powers except those reserved for the shareholders.

                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

   Acting under the direction of the Trustees, the Adviser makes investment
   decisions for the Fund.

Pursuant to an investment advisory contract with BayFunds, investment decisions
for the Fund are made by BayBanks Investment Management, Inc., the Fund's
investment adviser ("the Adviser"), subject to direction by the Trustees. The
Adviser continually conducts investment research and supervision for the Fund
and is responsible for the purchase and sale of portfolio instruments, for which
it receives an annual fee from the Fund.

Advisory Fees

The Adviser receives an annual investment advisory fee equal to .70 of 1% of
the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser has undertaken to reimburse
the Fund, up to the amount of the advisory fee, for operating expenses in
excess of limitations established by certain states. The Adviser may also
voluntarily choose to waive a portion of its fee or reimburse the Fund for
certain other expenses, but reserves the right to terminate such waiver or
reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.

Adviser's Background

   The Adviser has extensive investment experience and is a subsidiary of a
   leading New England financial services organization.


The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BayBanks, Inc., a bank holding
company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. BayBanks,
Inc., through its banking subsidiaries (hereinafter "BayBanks") and affiliates,
offers a full range of financial services to the public, including depository
services, commercial lending, cash management, brokerage, retail banking,
mortgage banking, and investment advisory and trust services. As part of their
regular banking operations, BayBanks may make loans to public companies. Thus,
it may be possible, from time to time, for the Fund to hold or acquire the
securities of issuers which are also lending clients of BayBanks. The lending
relationship will not be a factor in the selection of securities.


The Adviser is a registered investment adviser and provides investment advisory
services for trust and other managed assets. The Adviser was established as a
separate subsidiary of BayBanks, Inc. in 1985, but its predecessor division and

                       SHAREHOLDER SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS

BayBank Systems, Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts, is the Fund's shareholder
servicing agent (the "Shareholder Servicing Agent"). The Fund may pay the
Shareholder Servicing Agent a fee based on the average daily net asset value of
Shares for which it provides shareholder services. These shareholder services
include, but are not limited to, distributing prospectuses and other
information, providing shareholder assistance and communicating or facilitating
purchases and redemptions of Shares. This fee will be equal to .25 of 1% of the
Fund's average daily net assets for which the Shareholder Servicing Agent
provides services; however, the Shareholder Servicing Agent may choose
voluntarily to waive all or a portion of its fee at any time.

                                 LEGAL COUNSEL

Brokerage Transactions

When selecting brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio
instruments, the Adviser looks for prompt execution of the order at a favorable
price. In working with dealers, the Adviser will generally utilize those who are
recognized dealers in specific portfolio instruments, except when a better price
and execution of the order can be obtained elsewhere. The Adviser makes
decisions on portfolio transactions and selects brokers and dealers subject to
review by the Trustees.

Expenses of the Fund and Shares


The Fund pays all of its own expenses and its allocable share of BayFunds'
expenses. The expenses borne by the Fund include the following types of
expenses: organization fees; Trustees fees; fees for those management and
administration services described above (including legal,
audit and custodian fees); and printing, registration and mailing costs for
legally required documents and reports to shareholders and government agencies.
The Adviser may voluntarily waive some expenses and has, in addition, undertaken
to reimburse the Fund, up to the amount of the advisory fee, the amount by which
operating expenses exceed limitations imposed by certain states.



At present, the only expenses allocated to shares as a class are expenses under
the Fund's Shareholder Servicing Plan which relate to the Shares. However, the
Trustees reserve the right to allocate certain other expenses to holders of
Shares as it deems appropriate ("Class Expenses").


                                NET ASSET VALUE

   The term "net asset value" per share refers to the value of one Fund
   Share.


The Fund's net asset value per share fluctuates. Net asset value per share for
purposes of pricing purchases and redemptions is calculated by dividing the
market value of all securities and other assets belonging to the Fund, less
liabilities charged to the Fund, by the number of outstanding shares of the
Fund. The net asset value for Institutional Shares may be greater than that of
Investment Shares due to the variance in daily net income realized by each class
as a result of shareholder servicing fees incurred by the Investment Shares.
Such variance will reflect only accrued net income to which the shareholders of
a particular class are entitled.


Pricing of Shares

The net asset value is determined at the close of regular trading hours on the
New York Stock Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time), Monday through
Friday, except on: (i) the following holidays: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day,
Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and
Christmas Day; (ii) days on which there are not sufficient changes in the value
of the Fund's portfolio securities that its net asset value might be materially
affected; and (iii) days during which no Shares are tendered for redemption and
no orders to purchase Shares are received.

                              INVESTING IN SHARES

   Shares are sold "no-load"--without a sales charge. Your minimum initial
   investment is only $2,500, or $500 if you participate in the Automatic
   Investment Program or invest through an IRA.

Minimum Investment


You can become a shareholder with an initial investment of $2,500, or $500 if
you participate in the Automatic Investment Program or invest through an IRA.
Subsequent investments must be in amounts of at least $100, or if you
participate in the Automatic Investment Program or invest through an IRA, the
minimum for additional Share purchases is $50. The Fund may waive any investment
minimums from time to time. In addition, the Fund may reduce or waive investment
minimums for investors purchasing through qualified BayBanks accounts.


When You May Purchase Shares


The Fund offers Shares only on days on which the New York Stock Exchange and the
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston are open for business ("Business Days"). In
addition to the holidays listed above under "Pricing of Shares," other non-
Business Days include Martin Luther King's Day, Columbus Day and Veterans' Day.
If the Shareholder Servicing Agent receives your purchase order on a
non-Business Day, the order will not be executed until the next Business Day in
accordance with the Distributor's procedures. The Fund and the Distributor
reserve the right to reject any purchase request.


When Your Purchase Is Effective

If your purchase order is received in good order and accepted by the Fund from
the Transfer Agent by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a Business Day, it will be
executed at the net asset value next determined. The Transfer Agent will not
communicate your purchase order to the Fund until the Shareholder Servicing
Agent has received the purchase price in Federal funds or other immediately
available funds. When you purchase Shares by check, the order is considered
received when the check is converted into Federal funds, normally within two
Business Days. BayBanks acts as the shareholder's agent in depositing checks and
converting them to Federal funds.


You must submit a completed and signed application at the time of your initial
purchase. The Shareholder Servicing Agent is responsible for prompt transmission
of purchase orders to the Transfer Agent.



   Subsequent purchases may be made by telephone, mail, wire, or in person
   through BayBanks offices.


Purchases By Mail


If you make your initial Share purchase by mail, you must send a completed and
signed application, and a check payable to the Fund and class to:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02254-9614

You may obtain an application by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND.


You may make subsequent investments in the Fund at any time by sending a check
for a minimum of $100 ($50 if for an IRA) payable to the Fund and class at the
following address:


  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 5-0900
  Woburn, MA 01815-0900

  or for IRAs:

  BayFunds
  Burlington, MA 01803-5889
  P.O. Box 889


You must include either (a) the detachable form that regularly accompanies
confirmation of a prior transaction, (b) a subsequent order form that may be
obtained by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND, or (c) a letter stating the amount of the
investment, the name of the Fund and class of shares, the exact name and address
of the account, and your account number.



If the check does not clear, your purchase order will be cancelled and you could
be held liable for associated transaction costs.


Purchases By Phone

Once you are a shareholder, you may purchase Shares by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.


You must have previously authorized the Fund in writing to accept telephone
requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the Options
Change Form and information on this Fund feature. Each Fund uses reasonable
procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a written
confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions given
by telephone are genuine. However, a Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for the losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.


The establishment of certain types of deposit account relationships with
BayBanks may permit the direct deduction of your purchase price from your
BayBanks deposit account. Please call 1-800-BAY-FUND to determine whether your
BayBanks deposit account qualifies.

For the protection of investors, all phone communications may be recorded where
not otherwise prohibited by law.

Texas residents must purchase Shares through the Distributor at 1-800-356-2805.

Purchases By Wire


If you are a shareholder, you may purchase additional Shares by wire by first
notifying BayBanks, as agent for the Transfer Agent, by phone at 1-800-BAY-FUND,
then wiring the funds as follows:


   BayBank

   ABA Number: 0110-0174-2

   Attention: Mutual Funds Services

   For Credit to: (shareholder name and account number)

   Further Credit to: BayFunds Equity Portfolio--Investment Shares

Purchases Through BayBanks Offices

You may place an order to purchase Shares in person through designated BayBanks
offices.

Purchase orders placed through BayBanks offices typically would be received by
the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. If you want more prompt processing,
you should consider another method, such as "Purchases by Phone."


Automatic Investment Program



   You can buy Shares conveniently through the Automatic Investment Program.


 When you participate in the Automatic Investment Program, you can purchase
additional Shares in minimum amounts of $50. You must previously have
authorized in writing the amount of funds to be deducted automatically from
eligible BayBanks deposit accounts or your deposit account maintained at a
domestic financial institution which is an automated clearing house member, and
the frequency of the deductions. The funds will be invested in Shares at the
net asset value next determined. The Fund may reduce or waive the investment
minimums for investors purchasing through qualified BayBanks accounts.


                              EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES

   If your investment needs change, you can easily exchange Fund Shares for
   Investment Shares of any other BayFunds' portfolio at no charge.


BayFunds consists of the Fund, the BayFunds Money Market Portfolio, the BayFunds
U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio, the BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio,
and the BayFunds Bond Portfolio. As a shareholder, you have access to the
Investment Shares of all other portfolios ("Participating Funds") of BayFunds
through an exchange program. You may also purchase BayFunds Shares of
Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust with redemption proceeds of a BayFunds
portfolio by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.



You may exchange Shares having a net asset value of at least $100 for Investment
Shares of any other Participating Fund in which you have an account. The minimum
initial investment to establish an account in any other Participating Fund by
exchange is $2,500, or $500 if you participate in the Automatic Investment
Program or invest through an IRA. BayFunds does not charge any exchange fees.



Each exchange is considered a sale of shares of one fund and a purchase of
shares of another fund. Shares submitted for exchange will be redeemed at the
net asset value next determined after receipt of the exchange request by the
Transfer Agent on a Business Day. Investment Shares of the Participating Fund
to be acquired will be purchased at the net asset value per share next
determined on a Business Day. Transfers of money between a BayFunds portfolio
and BayFunds Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust will be reflected as
a redemption and purchase on a shareholder's account statement. In a transfer
involving the BayFunds Shares of Massachusetts Municipal Cash Trust, the
purchase order will be placed on the Business Day following the Business Day
after which the redemption order has been executed.


If you do not have an account in the Participating Fund whose Investment Shares
you want to acquire, you must establish an account. Prior to any such exchange,
you must receive a copy of the current prospectus of the Investment Shares of
the Participating Fund into which an exchange is to be effected. This account
will be registered in the same name and, unless you specify otherwise, will have
the same dividend and distribution payment option as you selected with your
existing account. If the new account registration (name, address, and taxpayer
identification number) is not identical to your existing account, please call
1-800-BAY-FUND for the necessary new account or transfer procedures.

The exchange privilege is available to shareholders in any state in which
Participating Funds' shares being acquired may be sold.

You may find the exchange privilege useful if your investment objectives or
market outlook should change after you invest in any of the Investment Shares of
the Participating Funds. You may obtain further information on the exchange
privilege and obtain a prospectus by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND.

BayFunds reserves the right to terminate the exchange privilege at any time on
60 days' notice. Shareholders will be notified if this privilege is terminated.

Depending on the circumstances, an exchange may generate a short-or long-term
capital gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges By Telephone

You may provide instructions for exchanges by telephone between Participating
Funds by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.

You must have previously authorized the Fund in writing to accept telephone
requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the necessary
Options Change Form and information on this feature. The Fund uses reasonable
procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a written
confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions given
by telephone are genuine. However, the Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for any losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.

Written Exchanges

You may send a written request for an exchange to:

  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02254-9614


Your written request must include your name and tax identification number; the
name of the Fund; the name of the class of Shares; the dollar amount or number
of Shares to be redeemed; the name of the fund and class of shares in which
shares are to be purchased; and your account number. Your request must be signed
by the registered owner(s) exactly as required by the account application.


Exchanges Through BayBanks Offices

You may place an order to exchange Shares in person through designated BayBanks
offices.

Exchange orders received through designated BayBanks offices typically would be
received by the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. For more prompt
processing, you should consider another method, such as "Exchanges By
Telephone."

                                REDEEMING SHARES


   When you sell your Shares--"redeem" them--you receive the net asset value
   per share next determined after the request is received by the Fund in
   proper form. There are no fees or other redemption charges (except for
   redemptions by wire). You may redeem some or all of your investment.


When You May Redeem Shares

The Fund redeems Shares at the net asset value next determined after the Fund
has received your redemption request from the Transfer Agent in proper form.
Redemption requests can be executed only on Business Days. If your redemption
request is received by the Shareholder Servicing Agent on a non-Business Day,
the Transfer Agent will not communicate your redemption request to the Fund
until the next Business Day.


The Fund will not process any redemptions until a completed and signed
application has been received.


When Redemptions Are Paid


The Fund ordinarily will make payment for Shares redeemed after proper receipt
from the Transfer Agent of the redemption request and of all documents in proper
form within five Business Days. Redemption proceeds may be credited to an
eligible BayBanks deposit account, paid by check, or paid by wire, as you
previously designated in your application.


Signature Guarantees. If you request a redemption for an amount in excess of
$10,000 (no limitation if the proceeds are being credited to your BayBanks
deposit account), a redemption of any amount to be sent to an address other than
your address of record with the Fund, the transfer of the registration of
Shares, or a redemption of any amount payable to someone other than yourself as
the shareholder of record, your signature must be guaranteed on a written
redemption request by a trust company or insured commercial bank; an insured
savings and loan association or savings bank; a member firm of a national or
regional stock exchange; or any other "eligible guarantor institution," as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Transfer Agent has adopted
standards for accepting signature guarantees from the above institutions. The
Fund may elect in the future to limit eligible signature guarantors to
institutions that are members of a signature guarantee program. The Fund does
not accept signatures guaranteed by a notary public. The Fund and the Transfer
Agent reserve the right to amend these standards at any time without notice. If
you have a question about the proper form for redemption requests, call
1-800-BAY-FUND.


   You may redeem Shares by telephone, mail, or through BayBanks offices. You
   may receive redemption proceeds by wire.


Redemptions By Mail

You may redeem Shares by submitting a written request for redemption to:

  BayFunds
  P.O. Box 665
  Waltham, MA 02554-9614


Your written request must include your name and tax identification number, the
Fund's name, the name of the class of Shares, the dollar amount or number of
Shares to be redeemed, and your account number. Your request must be signed by
the registered owner(s) exactly as required by the account application.


Redemptions By Phone

You may redeem Shares by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND.


You must have previously authorized the Fund in writing to accept telephone
requests. If you have not done so, call 1-800-BAY-FUND to receive the necessary
Options Change Form.


In the event of drastic economic or market changes, you may experience
difficulty in redeeming by telephone. If this occurs, you should consider
another method of redemption, such as "Redemptions by Mail." The Fund uses
reasonable procedures (including a shareholder identity test and sending a
written confirmation of each telephone transaction) to confirm that instructions
given by telephone are genuine. However, the Fund is not responsible for the
authenticity of telephone instructions or for any losses caused by fraudulent or
unauthorized telephone instructions if the Fund reasonably believed that the
instructions were genuine.


Redemption Proceeds By Wire



You may receive redemption proceeds of Fund Shares by wire by calling
1-800-BAY-FUND. Redemption proceeds of at least $1,000 will be wired directly to
the domestic commercial bank and account you previously designated in writing.
You are charged a fee for each wire redemption and the fee is deducted from your
redemption proceeds.



The Fund reserves the right to wire redemption proceeds within five Business
Days after receiving the redemption order if, in its judgment, an earlier
payment could adversely affect the Fund. However, the redemption order will be
effected at the net asset value next determined after the redemption request is
received by the Fund from the Transfer Agent in proper form. The Fund also
reserves the right to terminate or modify the "Redemption Proceeds By Wire" or
"Redemptions By Phone" procedures at any time. In that event, shareholders would
be promptly notified.


Redemptions Through BayBanks
Offices

You may place an order to redeem Shares in person through designated BayBanks
offices.

Redemption orders received through designated BayBanks offices typically would
be received by the Transfer Agent within two Business Days. For more prompt
processing, you should consider another method, such as "Redemptions By Phone."


                               BACKUP WITHHOLDING



The Internal Revenue Service requires that backup withholding of 31% apply to
any redemption or exchange request on an account that has not certified its
taxpayer identification number ("TIN"). Shareholders who either have not
certified its number or applied for a number should be aware that backup
withholding will apply to any redemption request processed prior to receipt of a
TIN number and certification.


Redemption Before Purchase
Instruments Clear

If any portion of a Fund's Shares to be redeemed represents an investment made
with uncollected funds, the Fund reserves the right to delay payment of proceeds
until the Shareholder Servicing Agent is reasonably certain that the funds have
been collected, which could take up to five Business Days.


Automatic Withdrawal Program



An Automatic Withdrawal Program may be established for IRA accounts only
whereby automatic redemptions are made from the account and transferred
electronically to an eligible BayBanks deposit account or your deposit account
maintained at a domestic financial institution that is an automated clearing
house member. The minimum redemption amount is $100 per month. Depending upon
the amount of the withdrawal payments and the amount of dividends paid with
respect to Shares, redemptions may reduce, and eventually deplete, the
shareholder's investment in the Fund. For this reason, payments under this
program should not be considered as yield or income on the shareholder's
investment in the Fund. A shareholder may apply for participation in this
program by calling 1-800-BAY-FUND for further information. If a shareholder
withdraws any funds from the IRA account before reaching age 59-1/2 (except
certain withdrawals of excess contributions and regular payments made over the
shareholder's life expectancy), the shareholder will be subject to an IRS
penalty tax of 10% of the taxable amount withdrawn in addition to regular
income taxes on the taxable amount.


                            SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Balances in Accounts

Due to the high cost of maintaining accounts with low balances, the Fund may
redeem your Shares (other than in retirement plan accounts or IRAs) and send you
the proceeds if, due to shareholder redemptions, your account balance falls
below a minimum value of $1,000. However, before Shares are redeemed to close an
account, the shareholder will be notified in writing and given 60 days to
purchase additional Shares to meet the minimum balance requirement. The Fund
reserves the right to amend this standard upon 60 days' prior written notice to
shareholders. The Fund also reserves the right to redeem Shares involuntarily or
to make payment for redemptions in the form of securities if it appears
appropriate to do so in light of the Fund's responsibilities under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

Dividends and Distributions

   If you are a shareholder of record, you receive dividends quarterly, and
   capital gains are paid out in "distributions" at least annually. You select
   the payment option: automatic reinvestment in additional Shares, automatic
   credit to eligible BayBanks deposit accounts, or by check.

Dividends from the Fund's net investment income are declared and paid quarterly
within five Business Days after the end of such calendar quarter to all
shareholders invested in the Fund on the record date. Net realized capital gains
are distributed at least annually.

You elect in writing how you want to receive your dividends and your
distributions. You may choose automatic reinvestment in additional Shares at
the net asset value next determined on the payment dates, automatic credit to
an eligible BayBanks deposit account, or by check. If you fail to select an
option, all distributions will be reinvested in additional Shares.


Confirmations and Statements



You will receive confirmations of each purchase, exchange or redemption.
Statements are periodically sent, but no less often than quarterly, to report
transactions such as purchases and redemptions, as well as dividends paid.
BayBank IRA customers will receive quarterly statements for their accounts.



The Fund's Transfer Agent maintains a Share account for each shareholder of
record. Share certificates are not issued.


Corporate Customers

Corporate customers of BayBanks interested in purchasing Shares should consult
their account relationship managers for procedures applicable to their accounts
or call 1-800-554-3311. This prospectus should be read in conjunction with any
materials provided by BayBanks regarding such procedures.

Retirement Plans

BayBanks makes available for purchase Shares for investment by IRAs and rollover
IRAs. For details, including minimum investments, application forms and other
investment procedures, call 1-800-BAY-FUND. For information about Simplified
Employee Pension Plans and retirement plan vehicles established by employers for
their employees which are qualified under Section 401(k) and 403(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code, call BayBank at 1-800-462-9999, extension 4589, or write
to BayBank, Corporate Trust--New Business Department, 7 New England Executive
Park, Burlington, MA 01803.

Voting Rights

   As a shareholder, you are entitled to vote on certain matters.

Each share of the Fund gives the shareholder one vote in Trustee elections and
other matters submitted to shareholders for vote. All shares of each portfolio
in BayFunds have equal voting rights except that, in matters affecting only a
particular fund or class, only shares of that particular fund or class are
entitled to vote.


As a Massachusetts business trust, BayFunds is not required to hold annual
shareholder meetings. Shareholder approval will be sought only for certain
changes in BayFunds' or the Fund's operation and for the election of Trustees
under certain circumstances. Trustees may be removed by a two-thirds vote of the
number of Trustees prior to such removal or by a two-thirds vote of the
shareholders at a special meeting. A special meeting of shareholders shall be
called by the Trustees upon the written request of shareholders owning at least
10% of BayFunds' outstanding shares of all portfolios entitled to vote.



                              AUTHORITY TO ACT AS
                               INVESTMENT ADVISER

The Glass-Steagall Act and other banking laws and regulations presently prohibit
a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, or any affiliate thereof, from sponsoring, organizing or controlling a
registered, open-end investment company continuously engaged in the issuance of
its shares, and from issuing, underwriting, selling or distributing securities
in general. Such laws and regulations do not prohibit such a holding company or
affiliate from acting as investment adviser, transfer agent or custodian to such
an investment company or from purchasing shares of such a company as agent for
and upon the order of their customer. The Fund's investment adviser, BayBanks
Investment Management, Inc., is subject to such banking laws and regulations.

The Adviser believes that it may perform the investment advisory services for
the Fund contemplated by its advisory agreement with BayFunds without violating
the Glass-Steagall Act or other applicable banking laws or regulations. Changes
in either federal or state statutes and regulations relating to the permissible
activities of banks and their subsidiaries or affiliates, as well as further
judicial or administrative decisions or interpretations of present or future
statutes and regulations, could prevent the Adviser from continuing to perform
all or a part of the above services for its customers and/or the Fund. In such
event, changes in the operation of the Fund may occur, including the possible
alteration or termination of any automatic or other Fund share investment and
redemption services then being provided, and the Trustees would consider
alternative investment advisers and other means of continuing available
investment services. It is not expected that Fund shareholders would suffer any
adverse financial consequences (if another adviser with equivalent abilities to
BayBanks Investment Management, Inc. is found) as a result of any of these
occurrences.

State securities laws governing the ability of depository institutions to act as
underwriters or distributors of securities may differ from interpretations given
to the Glass-Steagall Act and, therefore, banks and financial institutions may
be required to register as dealers pursuant to state laws.


                                TAX INFORMATION

   This discussion of taxes is for general information only. Please consult
   your own tax adviser about your particular situation.

Federal Income Tax

The Fund intends to meet requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies in order not to be liable for any Federal income
taxes on income and gains distributed to Fund shareholders. The Fund will
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gains
at least annually.

The Fund will be treated as a single, separate entity for Federal income tax
purposes.

Unless otherwise exempt, shareholders are required to pay federal income tax on
any dividends and other distributions received. This applies whether dividends
and distributions are received in cash or as additional Shares. The dividends
received deduction for corporations will apply to ordinary income distributions
to the extent the distribution represents amounts that would qualify for the
dividends received deduction to the Fund if the Fund were a regular corporation,
and to the extent designated by the Fund as so qualifying. These dividends and
any short-term capital gains are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of
net long-term capital gains will be taxed as such regardless of how long the
Shares have been held.

Early each year, the Fund will notify each shareholder of the amount and tax
status of distributions paid to the shareholder for the preceding year.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the status of
their accounts under state and local laws.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

   You can follow the Fund's performance.

From time to time, in advertisements or in reports to shareholders, the
performance and yield of the Fund may be quoted and compared to those of other
mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to relevant equity indices
or to rankings prepared by independent services or other financial or industry
publications that monitor the performance of mutual funds. For example, the
performance of the Fund may be compared to data prepared by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., a widely recognized independent service which monitors the
performance of mutual funds.

National financial publications in which performance and yield data are reported
may include The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, or Money
magazine. Publications of a local or regional nature, such as The Boston Globe
or The Boston Herald, may also be used in comparing the performance and yield of
the Fund.

Total return represents the change, over a specified period of time, in the
value of an investment in Investment Shares after reinvesting all income and
capital gains distributions. It is calculated by dividing that change by the
initial investment and is expressed as a percentage.

The yield of Shares is calculated by dividing the net investment income per
share (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) earned by Shares
over a thirty-day period by the net asset value per share of Shares on the last
day of the period. This number is then annualized using semi-annual compounding.
The yield does not necessarily reflect income actually earned by Shares and,
therefore, may not correlate to the dividends or other distributions paid to
shareholders.

Yield and total return will be calculated separately for both classes of shares
of the Fund. Because Investment Shares are subject to shareholder servicing
fees, yield and total return of Institutional Shares for the same period will
exceed that of Investment Shares.

Shares of the Fund are sold without any sales load or other similar
non-recurring charges.

Distribution Rate

The Fund may quote non-standardized yield in the form of a distribution rate. In
such case, the Fund calculates its annualized current net yield daily as of the
date preceding the calculation. The calculation is made by:

  _ dividing the most recent quarterly dividend times four (including any
    short-term capital gains) by

  _ the offering price per share for that day.


                            OTHER CLASSES OF SHARES

Institutional Shares are offered primarily to trusts, fiduciaries and other
institutions. Institutional Shares are subject to a minimum initial investment
of $10,000. Institutional Shares are sold at net asset value and are distributed
without shareholder servicing fees. Institutional Shares were effective as of
January 1, 1994.

The amount of dividends payable to Institutional Shares will be greater than
those payable to Investment Shares by the difference between Class Expenses and
shareholder servicing fees borne by shares of each respective class. (Currently,
there are no differences in Class Expenses other than shareholder servicing
fees.)

The stated advisory fee is the same for both
classes of shares of the Fund.

General Information About the Funds
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds are portfolios in BayFunds, which was established as a Massachusetts
business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated April 1, 1991.

The portfolios in BayFunds are: BayFunds Bond Portfolio; BayFunds Equity
Portfolio; BayFunds Short Term Yield Portfolio; BayFunds Money Market Portfolio;
and BayFunds U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio. This combined Statement of
Additional Information relates only to the Bond Fund, Equity Fund and Short Term
Yield Fund.

The Funds are offered in two classes of shares, Institutional and Investment
Shares. Collectively, the classes will be referred to as "Shares."

Investment Objectives and Policies of the Funds
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The prospectus for each Fund discusses the Fund's investment objective and the
policies each Fund employs to achieve that objective. The following discussion
supplements the description of each Fund's investment policies in the Fund's
prospectus. The Funds' investment objectives cannot be changed without approval
of shareholders. Unless indicated otherwise, the investment policies described
in the prospectus of each Fund may be changed by the Board of Trustees
("Trustees") without the approval of each Fund's shareholders. Shareholders will
be notified before any material changes in these policies become effective.

Types of Investments
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following policies apply to the Equity Fund only.

The Equity Fund's investments include, but are not limited to: common stocks,
preferred stocks, warrants, investments in American Depositary Receipts, stock
index futures, corporate bonds, notes, convertible securities, zero coupon
convertible securities, money market instruments and money market mutual funds.

Convertible Securities

The Equity Fund may invest in convertible securities.

The Fund will exchange or convert the convertible securities held in its
portfolio into shares of the underlying common stock when, in the Fund adviser's
opinion, the investment characteristics of the underlying common shares will
assist the Fund in achieving its investment objective. Otherwise the Fund may
hold or trade convertible securities. In selecting convertible securities for
the Fund, the Fund's adviser evaluates the investment characteristics of the
convertible security as a fixed income instrument, and the investment potential
of the underlying equity security for capital appreciation. In evaluating these
matters with respect to a particular convertible security, the Fund's adviser
considers numerous factors, including the economic and political outlook, the
value of the security relative to other investment alternatives, trends in the
determinants of the issuer's profits, and the issuer's management capability and
practices.

     Zero Coupon Convertible Securities

       Zero coupon convertible securities are debt securities which are issued
       at a discount to their face amount and do not entitle the holder to any
       periodic payments of interest prior to maturity. Rather, interest earned
       on zero coupon convertible securities accretes at a stated yield until
       the security reaches its face amount at maturity. Zero coupon convertible
       securities are convertible into a specific number of shares of the
       issuer's common stock. In addition, zero coupon convertible securities
       usually have put features that provide the holder with the opportunity to
       put the bonds back to the issuer at a stated price before maturity.
       Generally, the prices of zero coupon convertible securities may be more
       sensitive to market interest rate fluctuations than conventional
       convertible securities.

       Federal income tax law requires the holder of a zero coupon convertible
       security to recognize income with respect to the security prior to the
       receipt of cash payments. To maintain its qualification as a portfolio of
       a regulated investment company and avoid liability for federal income
       taxes, the Equity Fund will be required to distribute income accrued with
       respect to zero coupon convertible securities which it owns, and may have
       to sell portfolio securities (perhaps at disadvantageous times) in order
       to generate cash to satisfy these distribution requirements.

Warrants

Warrants are basically options to purchase common stock at a specific price
(usually at a premium above the market value of the optioned common stock at
issuance). Warrants may have a life ranging from less than a year to twenty
years, or may be perpetual. However, most warrants have expiration dates after
which they are worthless. In addition, if the market price of the common stock
does not exceed the warrant's exercise price during the life of the warrant, the
warrant will expire as worthless. Warrants have no voting rights, pay no
dividends, and have no rights with respect to the assets of the corporation
issuing them. The percentage increase or decrease in the market price of the
warrant may tend to be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the
market price of the optioned common stock.

Stock Index Futures Contracts

As a means of reducing fluctuations in the net asset value of shares of the
Equity Fund, the Fund may attempt to hedge all or a portion of its portfolio by
buying and selling stock index futures contracts. The Fund may also write
covered call options on portfolio securities to attempt to increase its current
income. The Fund will maintain its positions in securities, option rights, and
segregated cash subject to calls until the options are exercised, closed, or
have expired.

Stock index futures contracts are based on indices that reflect the market value
of common stock of the firms included in the indices. An index futures contract
is an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of
an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the
close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index
contract was originally written.

"Margin" in Futures Transactions

Unlike the purchase or sale of a security, the Equity Fund does not pay or
receive money upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Rather, the Fund
is required to deposit an amount of "initial margin" in cash or U.S. Treasury
bills with its custodian (or the broker, if legally permitted). The nature of
initial margin in futures transactions is different from that of margin in
securities transactions in that initial margin in futures transactions does not
involve the borrowing of funds by the Fund to finance the transactions. Initial
margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the
contract which is returned to the Fund upon termination of the futures contract,
assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied.

A futures contract held by the Fund is valued daily at the official settlement
price of the exchange on which it is traded. Each day the Fund pays or receives
cash, called "variation margin," equal to the daily change in value of the
futures contract. This process is known as "marking to market." Variation margin
does not represent a borrowing or loan by the Fund but is instead settlement
between the Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the other if the
futures contract expired. In computing its daily net asset value, the Fund will
mark to market its open futures positions.

The following policies apply to the Short Term Yield Fund only.

Credit Facilities

Demand notes are borrowing arrangements between a corporation and an
institutional lender (such as the Short Term Yield Fund) payable upon demand by
either party. The notice period for demand typically ranges from one to seven
days, and the party may demand full or partial payment. Revolving credit
facilities are borrowing arrangements in which the lender agrees to make loans
up to a maximum amount upon demand by the borrower during a specified term. As
the borrower repays the loan, an amount equal to the repayment may be borrowed
again during the term of the facility. The Fund generally acquires a
participation interest in a revolving credit facility from a bank or other
financial institution. The terms of the participation requires the Fund to make
a pro rata share of all loans extended to the borrower and entitles the Fund to
a pro rata share of all payments made by the borrower. Demand notes and
revolving facilities usually provide for floating or variable rates of interest.

Credit Enhancement

Certain of the Short Term Yield Fund's acceptable investments may be credit
enhanced by a guaranty, letter of credit or insurance. The Fund typically
evaluates the credit quality and ratings of credit enhanced securities based
upon the financial condition and ratings of the party providing the credit
enhancement (the "Credit Enhancer"), rather than the issuer. Generally, the Fund
will not treat credit enhanced securities as having been issued by the Credit
Enhancer for diversification purposes. However, under certain circumstances
applicable regulations may require the Fund to treat the securities as having
been issued by both the issuer and the Credit Enhancer. The bankruptcy,
receivership or default of the Credit Enhancer will adversely affect the quality
and marketability of the underlying security.

Demand Features

The Short Term Yield Fund may acquire securities that are subject to puts and
standby commitments ("demand features") to purchase the securities at their
principal amount (usually with accrued interest) within a fixed period following
a demand by the Fund. The demand feature may be issued by the issuer of the
underlying securities, a dealer in the securities or by another third party, and
may not be transferred separately from the underlying security. The Fund uses
these arrangements to provide the Fund with liquidity and not to protect against
changes in the market value of the underlying securities. The bankruptcy,
receivership or default by the issuer of the demand feature, or a default on the
underlying security or other event that terminates the demand feature before its
exercise, will adversely affect the liquidity of the underlying security. Demand
features that are exercisable even after a payment default on the underlying
security are treated as a form of credit enhancement.

The following policies apply to the Bond and Short Term Yield Funds only.

Weighted Average Portfolio Maturity

The Bond and Short Term Yield Funds will determine their dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity by assigning a "weight" to each portfolio security based upon
the pro rata market value of such portfolio security in comparison to the market
value of the entire portfolio. The remaining maturity of each portfolio security
is then multiplied by its weight, and the results are added together to
determine the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. For purposes of
calculating their dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity, the Bond and Short
Term Yield Funds will (a) treat asset-backed securities as having a maturity
equal to their estimated weighted-average maturity and (b) treat variable and
floating rate instruments as having a remaining maturity commensurate with the
period remaining until the next scheduled adjustment to the instrument's
interest rate. The average maturity of asset-backed securities will be
calculated based upon assumptions established by the adviser as to the probable
amount of principal prepayments weighted by the period until such prepayments
are expected to be received.


Duration

Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of
a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt
securities, prior to maturity. Duration measures the magnitude of the change in
the price of a debt security relative to a given change in the market rate of
interest. The duration of a debt security depends on three primary variables:
the security's coupon rate, maturity date, and level of market interest rates
for similar debt securities. Generally, debt securities with lower coupons or
longer maturities will have a longer duration than securities with higher
coupons or shorter maturities.

Duration is calculated by dividing the sum of the time-weighted values of cash
flows of a security or portfolio of securities, including principal and interest
payments, by the sum of the present values of the cash flows. Certain debt
securities, such as asset-backed securities, may be subject to prepayment at
irregular intervals. The duration of these instruments will be calculated based
upon assumptions established by the investment adviser as to the probable amount
and sequence of principal prepayments.

Mathematically, duration is measured as follows:

</TABLE>

where

PVCFt  =  the present value of the cash flow in period t discounted at the
          prevailing yield-to-maturity

    t  =  the period when the cash flow is received

    n  =  remaining number of periods until maturity

PVTCF  =  total present value of the cash flow from the bond where the present
          value is determined using the prevailing yield-to-maturity


Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs")

The Bond and Short Term Yield Funds may invest in CMOs. Privately issued CMOs
generally represent an ownership interest in a pool of federal agency mortgage
pass-through securities such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage
Association. The terms and characteristics of the mortgage instruments may vary
among pass-through mortgage loan pools.

The market for such CMOs has expanded considerably since their inception. The
size of the primary issuance market and the active participation in the
secondary market by securities dealers and other investors make
government-related pools highly liquid.

Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits ("REMICs")

REMICs are offerings of multiple class real estate mortgage-backed securities
which qualify and elect treatment as such under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code. Issuers of REMICs may take several forms, such as trusts,
partnerships, corporations, associations, or segregated pools of mortgages. Once
REMIC status is elected and obtained, the entity is not subject to federal
income taxation. Instead, income is passed through the entity and is taxed to
the person or persons who hold interests in the REMIC. A REMIC interest must
consist of one or more classes of "regular interests," some of which may offer
adjustable rates of interest, and a single class of "residual interests." To
qualify as a REMIC, substantially all the assets of the entity must be in assets
directly or indirectly secured principally by real property.

Resets of Interest

The interest rates paid on some of the Adjustable Rate Mortgage Securities
("ARMS"), CMOs, and REMICs in which the Bond and Short Term Yield Funds invest
will be readjusted at intervals of one year or less to an increment over some
predetermined interest rate index. There are two main categories of indices:
those based on U.S. Treasury securities and those derived from a calculated
measure, such as a cost of funds index or a moving average of mortgage rates.
Commonly utilized indices include the one-year, three-year and five-year
constant maturity Treasury Note rates, the three-month Treasury Bill rate, the
six-month Treasury Bill rate, the one-month or three-month London Interbank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and the National Median Cost of Funds. Some indices, such
as the three-month and six-month Treasury Bill rate, closely mirror changes in
market interest rate levels. Others tend to lag changes in market rate levels
and tend to have somewhat less volatile interest rates.

To the extent that the adjusted interest rate on the mortgage security reflects
current market rates, the market value of an ARMS will tend to be less sensitive
to interest rate changes than a fixed rate debt security of the same stated
maturity. Hence, ARMS which use indices that lag changes in market rates should
experience greater price volatility than ARMS that closely mirror the market.
Certain residual interest tranches of CMOs may have adjustable interest rates
that deviate significantly from prevailing market rates, even after the interest
rate is reset, and are subject to correspondingly increased price volatility. In
the event that the Fund purchases such residual interest mortgage securities, it
will factor in the increased interest and price volatility of such securities
when determining its dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity.

     Caps and Floors

       The underlying mortgages which collateralize the ARMS, CMOs and REMICs in
       which the Bond and Short Term Yield Funds invest will frequently have
       caps and floors which limit the maximum amount by which the loan rate to
       the residential borrower may change up or down: (1) per reset or
       adjustment interval and (2) over the life of the loan. Some residential
       mortgage loans restrict periodic adjustments by limiting changes in the
       borrower's monthly principal and interest payments rather than limiting
       interest rate changes. These payment caps may result in negative
       amortization.

       The value of mortgage securities in which the Bond and Short Term Yield
       Funds invest may be affected if market interest rates rise or fall faster
       and farther than the allowable caps or floors on the underlying
       residential mortgage loans. Additionally, even though the interest rates
       on the underlying residential mortgages are adjustable, amortization and
       prepayments may occur, thereby causing the effective maturities of the
       mortgage securities in which the Funds invest to be shorter than the
       maturities stated in the underlying mortgages.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risks

Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities generally pay back principal and
interest over the life of the security. At the time the Bond and Short Term
Yield Funds reinvest the payments and any unscheduled prepayments of principal
received, the Bond and Short Term Yield Funds may receive a rate of interest
which is actually lower than the rate of interest paid on these securities
("prepayment risks"). Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to
higher prepayment risks than most other types of debt instruments with
prepayment risks because the underlying mortgage loans or the collateral
supporting asset-backed securities may be prepaid without penalty or premium.
Prepayment risks on mortgage-backed securities tend to increase during periods
of declining mortgage interest rates because many borrowers refinance their
mortgages to take advantage of the more favorable rates. Prepayments on
mortgage-backed securities are also affected by other factors, such as the
frequency with which people sell their homes or elect to make unscheduled
payments on their mortgages. Although asset-backed securities generally are less
likely to experience substantial prepayments than are mortgage-backed
securities, certain of the factors that affect the rate of prepayments on
mortgage-backed securities also affect the rate of prepayments on asset-backed
securities. In addition, at the time the Bond and Short Term Yield Funds
reinvest the payments and any unscheduled prepayments of principal received, the
Funds may receive a rate of interest which is actually lower than the rate of
interest paid on these securities.

Asset-backed securities present certain risks that are not presented by
mortgage-backed securities. Primarily, these securities do not have the benefit
of the same security interest in the related collateral. Credit card receivables
are generally unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the protection of a
number of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which give such
debtors the right to set off certain amounts owed on credit cards, thereby
reducing the balance due. Most issuers of asset-backed securities backed by
motor vehicle installment purchase obligations permit the servicer of such
receivables to retain possession of the underlying obligations. If the servicer
sells these obligations to another party, there is a risk that the purchaser
would acquire an interest superior to that of the holders of the related
asset-backed securities. Further, if a vehicle is registered in one state and is
then reregistered because the owner and obligor moves to another state, such
reregistration could defeat the original security interest in the vehicle in
certain cases. In addition, because of the large number of vehicles involved in
a typical issuance and technical requirements under state laws, the trustee for
the holders of asset-backed securities backed by automobile receivables may not
have a proper security interest in all of the obligations backing such
receivables. Therefore, there is the possibility that recoveries on repossessed
collateral may not, in some cases, be available to support payments on these
securities.

The following policies apply to all three Funds.

Bank Instruments

The Funds only invest in those bank instruments ("Bank Instruments") which are
either issued by an institution having capital, surplus and undivided profits
over $100 million or insured by the Bank Insurance Fund or the Savings
Association Insurance Fund, both of which are administered by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. Bank Instruments may include Eurodollar
Certificates of Deposit ("ECDs"), Yankee Certificates of Deposit ("Yankee CDs"),
Eurodollar Time Deposits ("ETDs") and Canadian Time Deposits.

Obligations of Foreign Issuers

Obligations of a foreign issuer may present greater risks than investments in
U.S. securities, including higher transaction costs as well as the imposition of
additional taxes by foreign governments. In addition, investments in foreign
issuers may include additional risks associated with less complete financial
information about the issuers, less market liquidity, and political instability.
Future political and economic developments, the possible imposition of
withholding taxes on interest income, the possible seizure or nationalization of
foreign holdings, the possible establishment of exchange controls, or the
adoption of other governmental restrictions, might adversely affect the payment
of principal and interest on obligations of foreign issuers. As a matter of
practice, the Funds will not invest in the obligations of a foreign issuer if
any such risk appears to the Funds' adviser to be substantial.

Repurchase Agreements

The Funds or their custodian will take possession of the securities subject to
repurchase agreements, and these securities will be marked to market daily. To
the extent that the original seller does not repurchase the securities from a
Fund, the Fund could receive more or less than the repurchase price on any sale
of such securities. In the event that such a defaulting seller filed for
bankruptcy or became insolvent, disposition of such securities by the Fund might
be delayed pending court action. The Funds believe that, under the regular
procedures normally in effect for custody of the Funds' portfolio securities
subject to repurchase agreements, a court of competent jurisdiction would rule
in favor of the Funds and allow retention or disposition of such securities. The
Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized
financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds'
adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to guidelines established by the Trustees.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements. These transactions
are similar to borrowing cash. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund
transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another person, such as a
financial institution, broker, or dealer, in return for a percentage of the
instrument's market value in cash, and agrees that on a stipulated date in the
future the Fund will repurchase the portfolio instrument by remitting the
original consideration plus interest at an agreed upon rate.


When effecting reverse repurchase agreements, liquid assets of a Fund, in a
dollar amount sufficient to make payment for the obligations to be purchased,
are segregated at the trade date. These securities are marked to market daily
and maintained until the transaction is settled.


When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

These transactions are arrangements in which the Funds purchase securities with
payment and delivery scheduled for a future time. These transactions are made to
secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield for a Fund.
Settlement dates may be a month or more after entering into these transactions,
and the market values of the securities purchased may vary from the purchase
prices.


No fees or other expenses, other than normal transaction costs, are incurred.
However, liquid assets of a Fund sufficient to make payment for the securities
to be purchased are segregated at the trade date. These securities are marked to
market daily and maintained until the transaction is settled.


As a matter of policy, each Fund does not intend to engage in when-issued and
delayed delivery transactions to an extent that would cause the segregation of
more than 20% of the total value of its assets.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

The collateral received when each Fund lends portfolio securities must be valued
daily and, should the market value of the loaned securities increase, the
borrower must furnish additional collateral to the Fund. During the time
portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays a Fund any dividends or
interest paid on such securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option
of a Fund or the borrower. A Fund may pay reasonable administrative and
custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a negotiated portion of the
interest earned on the cash or equivalent collateral to the borrower or placing
broker.

Portfolio Turnover


Although the Funds do not intend to invest for the purpose of seeking short-term
profits, securities in a Fund's portfolio will be sold whenever the adviser
believes it is appropriate to do so in light of a Fund's investment objective,
without regard to the length of time a particular security may have been held.
The adviser does not anticipate that a Fund's annual portfolio turnover rate
will exceed 100% (for the Short Term Yield Fund), 150% (for the Equity Fund) or
200% (for the Bond Fund) under normal market conditions. For the period from the
date of initial public investment, January 29, 1993, to December 31, 1993, the
portfolio turnover rates for Bond Fund, Equity Fund, and Short Term Yield Fund
were 74%, 81%, and 98%, respectively.


Investment Limitations

     Selling Short and Buying on Margin

       The Funds will not sell any securities short or purchase any securities
       on margin, but may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for
       clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities. The deposit or
       payment by a Fund of initial or variation margin in connection with
       financial futures contracts or related options transactions is not
       considered the purchase of a security on margin.

     Issuing Senior Securities and Borrowing Money

       The Funds will not issue senior securities except that a Fund may borrow
       money directly or through reverse repurchase agreements as a temporary
       measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes and then only in amounts
       not in excess of one-third of the value of its total assets; provided
       that, while borrowings exceed 5% of a Fund's total assets, any such
       borrowings will be repaid before additional investments are made. A Fund
       will not borrow money or engage in reverse repurchase agreements for
       investment leverage purposes.

     Concentration of Investments

       Each Fund will not purchase securities which would cause 25% or more of
       the value of its total assets at the time of purchase to be invested in
       the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal
       activities in the same industry; provided that (a) there is no limitation
       with respect to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government,
       its agencies or instrumentalities; (b) wholly-owned finance companies
       will be considered to be in the industries of their parents if their
       activities are primarily related to financing the activities of their
       parents; and (c) utilities will be divided according to their services.
       For example, gas, gas transmission, electric and gas, electric, and
       telephone will each be considered a separate industry. The Short Term
       Yield Fund will consider its investment in instruments issued by foreign
       banks and instruments issued by domestic banks to be investments in
       separate industries for purposes of concentration.

     Investing in Commodities

       The Funds will not purchase or sell commodities, commodity contracts, or
       commodity futures contracts, except that the Equity Fund may purchase and
       sell stock index futures contracts and write covered call options.

     Investing in Real Estate

       The Funds will not purchase or sell real estate, including limited
       partnership interests in real estate, although a Fund may invest in
       securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate.

     Lending Cash or Securities

       Each Fund will not lend any of its assets except portfolio securities up
       to one-third the value of total assets. This shall not prevent a Fund
       from purchasing or holding U.S. government obligations, money market
       instruments, variable rate demand notes, bonds, debentures, notes,
       certificates of indebtedness, or other debt securities, entering into
       repurchase agreements, or engaging in other transactions where permitted
       by a Fund's investment objective, policies, and limitations, or its
       Declaration of Trust.

     Underwriting

       The Funds will not underwrite any issue of securities, except as a Fund
       may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in
       connection with the sale of securities in accordance with its investment
       objective, policies, and limitations.

     Diversification of Investments


      With respect to 75% of the value of its total assets, a Fund will not
       purchase the securities of any issuer (other than cash, cash items, or
       securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or
       instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of the value of its
       total assets at the time of purchase would be invested in the securities
       of that issuer. Also, a Fund will not purchase more than 10% of the
       outstanding voting securities of any one issuer.


The above investment limitations cannot be changed without approval of the
holders of a majority of the particular Fund's shares. The following
limitations, however, may be changed by the Trustees without shareholder
approval. Shareholders will be notified before any material changes in these
limitations become effective.

     Restricted Securities

       The Funds will not invest more than 10% of the value of their total
       assets in securities subject to restrictions on resale under the
       Securities Act of 1933, except for certain restricted securities which
       meet the criteria for liquidity as established by the Trustees. To comply
       with certain state restrictions, the Equity Fund will limit its
       investment in restricted securities to 5% of its total assets. (If state
       restrictions change, this latter restriction may be revised without
       notice to shareholders.)

     Investing in Illiquid Securities

       The Funds will not invest more than 15% of the value of their net assets
       in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements providing for
       settlement more than seven days after notice, over-the-counter options,
       certain restricted securities which have not met the criteria for
       liquidity established by the Trustees and non-negotiable time deposits
       with maturities over seven days.

     Investing to Exercise Control

       The Equity Fund will not purchase securities for the purpose of
       exercising control over the issuer of securities.

     Pledging Assets

       The Funds will not mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except to
       secure permitted borrowings. In those cases, a Fund may pledge assets
       having a market value not exceeding the lesser of the dollar amounts
       borrowed or 15% of the value of total assets at the time of the pledge.
       For purposes of this limitation, the purchase of securities on a
       when-issued basis is not deemed to be a pledge.

     Investing in Minerals

       The Funds will not purchase interests in oil, gas, other mineral
       exploration or development programs, or leases, although a Fund may
       purchase the publicly traded securities of companies engaging in such
       activities.

     Investing in Securities of Other Investment Companies


       The Funds will limit their investment in other investment companies to no
       more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of any investment
       company, will not invest more than 5% of their total assets in any one
       investment company, or invest more than 10% of their total assets in
       investment companies in general. A Fund will purchase securities of
       closed-end investment companies only in open-market transactions
       involving only customary brokerage commissions. However, these
       limitations are not applicable if the securities are acquired in a
       merger, consolidation, or acquisition of assets. It should be noted that
       investment companies incur certain expenses, such as management fees,
       and, therefore, any investment by a Fund in shares of another investment
       company would be subject to such duplicate expenses. A Fund will invest
       in other investment companies primarily for the purpose of investing its
       short-term cash on a temporary basis. The adviser will waive its
       investment advisory fee on assets invested in securities of open-end
       investment companies.


     Investing in Issuers Whose Securities are Owned by Officers and Trustees of
     BayFunds


       The Funds will not purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if the
       officers and Trustees of BayFunds or the Funds' adviser owning
       individually more than 1/2 of 1% of the issuer's securities together own
       more than 5% of the issuer's securities.


     Investing in New Issuers

       The Funds will not invest more than 5% of the value of their total assets
       in securities of issuers which have records of less than three years of
       continuous operations, including the operation of any predecessor. With
       respect to asset-backed securities, the Bond and Short Term Yield Funds
       will treat the originator of the asset pool as the company issuing the
       securities for purposes of determining compliance with this limitation.

     Investing in Warrants

       The Equity Fund will not invest more than 5% of its net assets in
       warrants, including those acquired in units or attached to other
       securities. To comply with certain state restrictions, the Equity Fund
       will limit its investment in such warrants not listed on the New York or
       American Stock Exchange to 2% of its net assets. (If state restrictions
       change, this latter restriction may be revised without notice to
       shareholders.) For purposes of this investment restriction, warrants
       acquired by the Equity Fund in units or attached to securities may be
       deemed to be without value.

     Writing Covered Call Options

       The Equity Fund will not write call options on securities unless the
       securities are held in the Equity Fund's portfolio or unless the Equity
       Fund is entitled to them in deliverable form without further payment or
       after segregating cash in the amount of any further payment.


Except with respect to borrowing money, if a percentage limitation is adhered to
at the time of investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting
from any change in value or net assets will not result in a violation of such
restriction. The Funds have no present intent to borrow money or invest in
securities of other investment companies in excess of 5% of the value of their
respective net assets during the coming fiscal year.

The Funds consider instruments issued by a U.S. branch of a domestic bank,
having capital, surplus, and undivided profits in excess of $100,000,000 at the
time of investment to be "cash items."

Fund Ownership

Officers and Trustees own less than 1% of each of the Fund's outstanding shares.


As of March 30, 1994, the following shareholder owned 5% or more of the
Institutional Shares of the Funds: Slatt & Co., Burlington, Massachusetts, owned
approximately 6,556,153 shares (99.99%) of Bond Fund; 8,028,421 shares (99.99%)
of Equity Fund; and 9,073,743 shares (99.99%) of Short Term Yield Fund.


Trustee Liability

BayFunds' Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees are not liable for
errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. However, they are not protected
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of their office.

Investment Advisory Services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adviser to the Funds


The Funds' investment adviser is BayBanks Investment Management, Inc. (the
"Adviser"). The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BayBanks, Inc., a bank
holding company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
with a number of commercial bank subsidiaries. Collectively, these bank
subsidiaries are referred to in this combined Statement of Additional
Information as "BayBanks."


The Adviser shall not be liable to BayFunds, the Funds or any shareholder of the
Funds for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding, or sale of
any security, or for anything done or omitted by it, except acts or omissions
involving willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties imposed upon it by its contract with BayFunds.


Because of the internal controls maintained by BayBanks to restrict the flow of
non-public information, Fund investments are typically made without any
knowledge of BayBanks or its affiliates' lending relationships with an issuer.


Advisory Fees

For its advisory services, the Adviser receives an annual investment advisory
fee as described in the prospectuses.


From the Funds' date of initial public investment, January 29, 1993, through the
period ended December 31, 1993, the Adviser earned fees from Bond Fund, Equity
Fund, and Short Term Yield Fund in the amounts of $392,858, $560,943, and
$643,201, respectively, of which $95,417, $133,201, and $111,229, respectively,
were voluntarily waived.


     State Expense Limitation

       The Adviser has undertaken to comply with the expense limitations
       established by certain states for investment companies whose shares are
       registered for sale in those states. If a Fund's normal operating
       expenses (including the investment advisory fee, but not including
       brokerage commissions, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses)
       exceed 2-1/2% per year of the first $30 million of average net assets, 2%
       per year of the next $70 million of average net assets, and 1-1/2% per
       year of the remaining average net assets, the Adviser will reimburse the
       Fund for its expenses over the limitation.

       If a Fund's monthly projected operating expenses exceed this expense
       limitation, the investment advisory fee paid will be reduced by the
       amount of the excess, subject to an annual adjustment. If the expense
       limitation is exceeded, the amount to be reimbursed by the Adviser will
       be limited, in any single fiscal year, by the amount of the investment
       advisory fee.

       This arrangement is not part of the advisory contract and may be amended
       or rescinded in the future.


     Expenses of a Fund and Shares

       Each Fund pays all of its own expenses and its allocable share of
       BayFunds' expenses. The expenses borne by a Fund include, but are not
       limited to, the cost of: organizing BayFunds and continuing its
       existence; Trustee fees; investment advisory and administrative services;
       printing prospectuses and other Fund documents for shareholders;
       registering BayFunds, the Fund, and the shares with federal and state
       securities authorities; taxes and commissions; issuing, purchasing,
       repurchasing, and redeeming shares; fees for custodians, transfer agents,
       dividend disbursing agents, portfolio accounting services, and
       registrars; printing, mailing, auditing, accounting, and legal expenses;
       reports to shareholders and governmental agencies; meetings of Trustees
       and shareholders and proxy solicitations therefor; insurance premiums;
       association membership dues, and such non-recurring and extraordinary
       items as may arise.

       As present, the only expenses allocated to shares as a class are expenses
       under the Fund's Shareholder Servicing Plan which relate to the
       Investment Shares. However, the Trustees reserve the right to allocate
       certain other expenses to holders of shares as it deems appropriate
       ("Class Expenses"). In any case, Class Expenses would be limited to:
       transfer agent fees as identified by the Transfer Agent as attributable
       to holders of a class of shares; printing and postage expenses related to
       preparing and distributing materials such as shareholder reports,
       prospectuses and proxies to current shareholders; registration fees paid
       to the Securities and Exchange Commission and registration fees paid to
       states; expenses related to administrative personnel and service as
       required to support holders of a class of shares; legal fees relating
       solely to a class of shares; and trustees' fees incurred as a result of
       issues relating solely to a class of shares.


Brokerage Transactions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When selecting brokers and dealers to handle the purchase and sale of portfolio
instruments, the Adviser looks for prompt execution of the order at a favorable
price. In working with dealers, the Adviser will generally use those who are
recognized dealers in specific portfolio instruments, except when a better price
and execution of the order can be obtained elsewhere. The Adviser makes
decisions on portfolio transactions and selects brokers and dealers subject to
review by the Trustees.

The Adviser may select brokers and dealers who offer brokerage and research
services. These services may be furnished directly to a Fund, or to the Adviser
and may include:

.  advice as to the advisability of investing in securities;

.  security analysis and reports;

.  economic studies;

.  industry studies;

.  receipt of quotations for portfolio evaluations; and

.  similar services.

The Adviser and its affiliates exercise reasonable business judgment in
selecting brokers who offer brokerage and research services to execute
securities transactions. They determine in good faith that commissions charged
by such persons are reasonable in relationship to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided.

Research services provided by brokers may be used by the Adviser in advising the
Funds and other accounts. To the extent that receipt of these services may
supplant services for which the Adviser or its affiliates might otherwise have
paid, it would tend to reduce their expenses.

Although investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from those of
the other accounts managed by the Adviser, investments of the types a Fund may
make also may be made by those other accounts. When a Fund and one or more other
accounts managed by the Adviser are prepared to invest in, or desire to dispose
of, the same security, available investments or opportunities for sales will be
allocated in a manner believed by the Adviser to be equitable to each. In some
cases, this procedure may adversely affect the price paid or received by a Fund
or the size of the position obtained or disposed by a Fund. In other cases,
however, it is believed that coordination and the ability to participate in
volume transactions will be to the benefit of a Fund.

For the period from January 29, 1993, to December 31, 1993, the Equity Fund paid
$79,878 in brokerage commissions on brokerage transactions.


As of December 31, 1993, the Bond Fund owned approximately $501,000 of the
securities of Bear Stearns Cos. Inc., $1,454,000 of the securities of Dean
Witter Discover & Co., and $1,473,000 of the securities of Paine Webber Group;
Equity Fund owned approximately $798,000 of the securities of Merrill Lynch &
Co., and $824,000 of Primerica Corp.; and Short Term Yield Fund owned
approximately $3,522,000 of the securities of Dean Witter Discover & Co.,
$5,022,000 of the securities of Goldman, Sachs & Co., $4,999,000 of the
securities of Merrill Lynch & Co., and $7,186,000 of the securities of Salomon
Brothers Inc., all of whom are regular brokers of the Funds that derive more
than 15% of gross revenues from securities-related activities.


Shareholder Servicing Arrangements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


For the period ended December 31, 1993, the Funds did not pay any fees under the
Shareholder Servicing Plan.


Administrative Services
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federated Administrative Services, a subsidiary of Federated Investors, provides
administrative personnel and services to the Funds for the fees set forth in the
prospectuses. From the Funds' date of initial public investment, January 29,
1993, through the period ended December 31, 1993, the Funds incurred costs for
administrative services as follows:

Purchasing Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The procedures for purchasing shares are explained in the prospectus of each
Fund under "Investing in Shares."

Exchanging Securities for Fund Shares

Each Fund may accept securities in exchange for Shares. A Fund will allow such
exchanges only upon the prior approval of the Fund and a determination by the
Fund and its Adviser that the securities to be exchanged are acceptable.

Any securities exchanged must meet the investment objective and policies of the
Fund, must have a readily ascertainable market value and must be liquid. The
market value of any securities exchanged in an initial investment, plus any
cash, must be at least $100,000.

Securities accepted by the Fund will be valued in the same manner as the Fund
values its assets. The basis of the exchange will depend upon the net asset
value of Shares on the day the securities are valued. One Share of the Fund will
be issued for each equivalent amount of securities accepted.

Any interest earned on the securities prior to the exchange will be considered
in valuing the securities. All interest, dividends, subscription or other rights
attached to the securities become the property of the Fund, along with the
securities.


Determining Net Asset Value
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net asset value generally changes each day. The days on which the net asset
value is calculated by a Fund are described in the Fund's prospectus.

Determining Market Value of Securities

Market value of a Fund's portfolio securities are determined as follows:

.  for equity securities and bonds and other fixed income securities, according
   to the last sale price on a national securities exchange, if available;

.  in the absence of recorded sales of equity securities, according to the mean
   between the last closing bid and asked prices, and for bonds and other fixed
   income securities as determined by an independent pricing service;

.  for unlisted equity securities, the latest bid prices;


.  for short-term obligations, according to the mean between bid and asked
   prices as furnished by an independent pricing service or, for short-term
   obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of
   purchase, at amortized cost; or


.  for all other securities, at fair value as determined in good faith by the
   Trustees.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without
relying exclusively on quoted prices and may reflect: institutional trading in
similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of
issue, trading characteristics, and other market data.

Exchange Privileges
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Requirements for Exchange

Upon receipt of proper instructions and required supporting documents, shares
submitted for exchange are redeemed and the proceeds invested in shares of the
other Participating Fund.

Please review the Fund prospectus for further information on the exchange
privileges.

Making an Exchange

Instructions for exchanges may be given in writing. Written instructions may
require a signature guarantee.

Redeeming Shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shares of the Funds are redeemed at the next computed net asset value after the
Funds receive the redemption request from the Funds' transfer agent in proper
form. Redemption procedures are explained in the prospectuses under "Redeeming
Shares."

Redemption in Kind

Although the Funds intend to redeem shares in cash, they reserve the right under
certain circumstances to pay the redemption price in whole or in part by a
distribution of securities from the respective Fund's portfolio.

Redemption in kind will be made in conformity with applicable Securities and
Exchange Commission rules, taking such securities at the same value employed in
determining net asset value and selecting the securities in a manner the
Trustees determine to be fair and equitable.

The Trust has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, which obligates the Funds to redeem shares for any one shareholder
in cash only up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of a Fund's net asset value
during any 90-day period.


Redemption in kind is not as liquid as cash redemption. If redemption is made in
kind, shareholders receiving their securities and selling them before their
maturity could receive less than the redemption value of their securities and
could incur transaction costs.


Monthly Statements

Shareholders of the Funds who have eligible BayBanks deposit accounts will
receive combined monthly statements containing all information relating to their
deposit accounts and BayFunds transactions.

Companion Account Availability

Certain BayBanks deposit account customers may elect to open a companion
BayFunds account to facilitate BayFunds transactions.

Massachusetts Law
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under certain circumstances, shareholders may be held personally liable under
Massachusetts law for acts or obligations of BayFunds. To protect shareholders,
BayFunds has filed legal documents with Massachusetts that expressly disclaim
the liability of shareholders for such acts or obligations of BayFunds. These
documents require notice of this disclaimer to be given in each agreement,
obligation, or instrument BayFunds or its Trustees enter into or sign.

In the unlikely event a shareholder is held personally liable for BayFunds'
obligations, BayFunds is required, by its Declaration of Trust, to use its
property to protect or compensate the shareholder. On request, BayFunds will
defend any claim made and pay any judgment against a shareholder for any act or
obligation of BayFunds. Therefore, financial loss resulting from liability as a
shareholder will occur only if BayFunds cannot meet its obligations to indemnify
shareholders and pay judgments against them from its assets.

Tax Status
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds' Tax Status

Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies in order not to be
liable for any federal income taxes on income or gains distributed to the Funds'
shareholders. To qualify for this treatment, each Fund must, among other
requirements:

.  derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, and gains
   from the sale of securities;

.  derive less than 30% of its gross income from the sale of securities held,
   or deemed held, less than three months;

.  diversify its holdings according to certain statutory requirements; and

.  distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its net income earned during
   the year.

Each Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized gains at least annually.

The Equity Fund's transactions in futures contracts and options, and certain
other investments and hedging activities of the Equity Fund will be subject to
special tax rules, the effect of which may be to alter the timing and character
of certain income gains and losses realized by the Equity Fund. These rules
could, therefore, affect the amount, timing and character of distributions paid
to the Equity Fund's shareholders.


Total Return
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The average annual total return for both classes of shares of each Fund is the
average compounded rate of return for a given period that would equate a $1,000
initial investment in the Fund to the ending redeemable value of that
investment. The ending redeemable value is computed by multiplying the number of
shares owned at the end of the period by the net asset value per share at the
end of the period. The number of shares owned at the end of the period is based
on the number of shares purchased at the beginning of the period with $1,000,
adjusted over the period by any additional shares, assuming the monthly (for the
Bond and Short Term Yield Funds) or quarterly (for the Equity Fund) reinvestment
of all dividends and distributions.


For the period from January 29, 1993 (date of initial public investment) to
December 31, 1993 (prior to the creation of separate classes), the cumulative
total return for the Bond Fund, Equity Fund, and Short Term Yield Fund was
7.97%, 11.28%, and 3.96%, respectively. On January 1, 1994, the existing shares
of the Funds were redesignated as Investment Shares. Institutional Shares were
not offered prior to January 1, 1994. Cumulative total return reflects the
Funds' total performance over a specific period of time.


Yield
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The yield for both classes of shares of each Fund is determined by dividing the
net investment income per share (as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission) earned by the Fund over a thirty-day period by the offering price
per share of the Fund on the last day of the period. This value is then
annualized using semi-annual compounding. This means that the amount of income
generated during the thirty-day period is assumed to be generated each month
over a twelve-month period and is reinvested every six months. The yield does
not necessarily reflect income actually earned by each Fund because of certain
adjustments required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore,
may not correlate to the dividends or other distributions paid to shareholders.

To the extent that financial institutions and broker/dealers charge fees in
connection with services provided in conjunction with an investment in a Fund,
performance will be reduced for those shareholders paying those fees.

Prior to the creation of separate classes, the yield for the thirty-day period
ended December 31, 1993 for the Bond Fund, Equity Fund and Short Term Yield Fund
was 4.55%, 0.93%, and 4.51%, respectively.

Performance Comparisons
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The performance of both classes of shares of each Fund depends upon such
variables as:

.  portfolio quality;

.  average portfolio maturity (in the case of the Bond and Short Term Yield
   Funds);

.  type of instruments in which the portfolio is invested;

.  changes in interest rates and market value of portfolio securities;

.  changes in a Fund's expenses or a class of shares' expenses; and

.  various other factors.

A Fund's performance fluctuates on a daily basis largely because net earnings
and net asset value per share fluctuate daily. Both net earnings and net asset
value per share are factors in the computation of yield and total return.

From time to time, the Funds may advertise the performance of both classes of
shares compared to similar funds or portfolios using certain indices, reporting
services and financial publications. The Funds may also advertise the
performance of Shares compared to certificates of deposit and savings accounts.

Investors may use financial publications and/or indices to obtain a more
complete view of the Funds' performance. When comparing performance, investors
should consider all relevant factors such as the composition of any index used,
prevailing market conditions, portfolio compositions of other funds, and methods
used to value portfolio securities and compute offering price. The financial
publications and/or indices which the Funds use in advertising may include the
following:

The Bond Fund may compare its performance to:

.  Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate (Total) Index is comprised of
   approximately 5,000 issues which include: non-convertible bonds publicly
   issued by the U.S. government or its agencies; corporate bonds guaranteed by
   the U.S. government and quasi-federal corporations; publicly issued, fixed
   rate, non-convertible domestic bonds of companies in industry, public
   utilities, and finance; and U.S. dollar denominated obligations of foreign
   issuers. The average maturity of these bonds approximates ten years. Tracked
   by Shearson Lehman Brothers, Inc., the index calculates total returns for
   one month, three month, twelve month, and ten year periods and year-to-date.

.  Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged
   index comprised of all the bonds issued by the Lehman Brothers
   Government/Corporate Bond Index with maturities between 1 and 9.99 years.
   Total return is based on price appreciation/depreciation and income as a
   percentage of the original investment. Indices are rebalanced monthly by
   market capitalization.

.  Salomon Brothers AAA-AA Corporate Index calculates total returns of
   approximately 775 issues which include long-term, high grade domestic
   corporate taxable bonds, rated AAA-AA with maturities of twelve years or
   more and companies in industry, public utilities, and finance.

The Equity Fund may compare its performance to:

.  Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") represents share prices of selected
   blue-chip industrial corporations as well as public utility and
   transportation companies. The DJIA indicates daily changes in the average
   price of stocks in any of its categories. It also reports total sales for
   each group of industries. Because it represents the top corporations of
   America, the DJIA's index movements are leading economic indicators for the
   stock market as a whole.

.  Standard & Poor's Daily Stock Price Index of 500 Common Stocks (the
   "Standard & Poor's Index"), a composite index of common stocks in industry,
   transportation, and financial and public utility companies can be used to
   compare to the total returns of funds whose portfolios are invested
   primarily in common stocks. In addition, the Standard & Poor's Index assumes
   reinvestments of all dividends paid by stocks listed on its index. Taxes due
   on any of these distributions are not included, nor are brokerage or other
   fees calculated, in Standard & Poor's figures.

.  Bank Rate Monitor National Index, Miami Beach, Florida, is a financial
   reporting service which publishes weekly average rates of 50 leading bank
   and thrift institution money market deposit accounts. The rates published in
   the index are an average of the personal account rates offered on the
   Wednesday prior to the date of publication by ten of the largest banks and
   thrifts in each of the five largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
   Account minimums range upward from $2,500 in each institution and
   compounding methods vary. If more than one rate is offered, the lowest rate
   is used. Rates are subject to change at any time specified by the
   institution.

The Short Term Yield Fund may compare its performance to:

.  Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index is an unmanaged index tracking
   short-term U.S. government securities with maturities between 1 and 2.99
   years. The index is produced by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc.

The Bond, Equity and Short Term Yield Funds may compare their performance to:

.  Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., ranks funds in various fund categories by
   making comparative calculations using total return. Total return assumes the
   reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gains distributions, if
   any. From time to time, the Funds will quote their Lipper ranking in the
   applicable category in advertising and sales literature.

.  Bank Rate Monitor National Index, Miami Beach, Florida, is a financial
   reporting service which publishes weekly average rates of 50 leading bank
   and thrift institution money market deposit accounts. The rates published in
   the index are an average of the personal account rates offered on the
   Wednesday prior to the date of publication by ten of the largest banks and
   thrifts in each of the five largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.

Appendix

Standard and Poor's Corporation ("S&P") Corporate Bond Ratings

AAA--Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
Corporation. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

AA--Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.

A--Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

BBB--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest
and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than in higher rated categories.

NR--NR indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is
insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P does not rate a
particular type of obligation as a matter of policy.

Plus (+) or minus (-): S&P may apply a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show
relative standing within the major rating categories.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") Corporate Bond Ratings

Aaa--Bonds which are 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
edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an 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 which are rated Aa are judged to be of 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 as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective
elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present
which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

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

Baa--Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e.,
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. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.

NR--Not rated by Moody's.

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

Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch") Long-Term Debt Ratings

AAA--Bonds considered to be investment grade and of the highest credit quality.
The obligor has an exceptionally strong ability to pay interest and repay
principal, which is unlikely to be affected by reasonably foreseeable events.

AA--Bonds 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. Because bonds rated in the AAA and AA
categories are not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable future developments,
short-term debt of these issuers is generally rated F-1+.

A--Bonds 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--Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest
and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than in higher rated categories.

NR--NR indicates that Fitch does not rate the specific issue.

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

Standard and Poor's Corporation Commercial Paper Ratings

A-1--This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely
payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues determined to
possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (-) sign
designation.

A-2--Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is strong.
However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated
A-1.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. Commercial Paper Ratings

P-1--Issuers rated PRIME-1 (or related supporting institutions) have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment
capacity will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics:
conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample
asset protection; broad margins in earning coverage of fixed financial charges
and high internal cash generation; and well-established access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternative liquidity.

P-2--Issuers rated PRIME-2 (or related supporting institutions) have a strong
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations. This will normally
be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Fitch Investors Service, Inc. Commercial Paper Ratings

FITCH-1--(Highest Grade) Commercial paper assigned this rating is regarded as
having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

FITCH-2--(Very Good Grade) Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of
timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issues.
