FUNDS AT A GLANCE

Each of the Funds described in this prospectus is a
money market fund. Money market funds must follow
strict rules about the quality, maturity and other
features of securities they purchase. The Funds also
try to maintain a share price of $1.00 while paying
income to shareholders. However, no money market fund
guarantees that you will receive your money back.

Each Fund has its own goals and investment strategies
and each offers a different mix of investments. Of
course, there is no assurance that any Fund will
achieve its investment goals.

<PAGE>

CITI INSTITUTIONAL LIQUID RESERVES
This summary briefly describes Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves and the
principal risks of investing in it. For more information, see MORE ABOUT THE
FUNDS on page 18.

FUND GOAL
The Fund's goal is to provide its shareholders with liquidity and as high a
level of current income from U.S. government obligations as is consistent with
the preservation of capital. Of course, there is no assurance that the Fund
will achieve its goal.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves invests only in high quality, short-term
money market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars.
These may include:

o obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks;

o commercial paper and asset backed securities;

o short-term obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and
instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements for these obligations; and

o obligations issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western Europe,
Australia, Japan and Canada.

The Fund invests at least 25%, and may invest up to 100%, of its assets in
bank obligations, such as certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits and
bankers' acceptances.

Please note that the Fund invests in securities through an underlying mutual
fund.

MAIN RISKS
Investing in a mutual fund involves risk. Although Citi Institutional Liquid
Reserves seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it
is possible to lose money by investing in this Fund. Please remember that an
investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Citibank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency.

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described below. Please note
that there are many other factors that could adversely affect your investment,
and that could prevent the Fund from achieving its goals, which are not
described here. More information about risks appears in the Funds' Statement
of Additional Information. Before investing, you should carefully consider the
risks that you will assume.

YIELD FLUCTUATION. The Fund invests in short term money market instruments. As
a result, the amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down
depending on day-to-day variations in short term interest rates. Investing in
high quality, short-term instruments may result in a lower yield (the income
on your investment) than investing in lower quality or longer-term
instruments.

CREDIT RISK. The Fund invests in debt securities that are rated, when the Fund
buys them, in the highest short term rating category by nationally recognized
rating agencies or, if unrated, in the Manager's opinion, are of comparable
quality. However, it is possible that some issuers will be unable to make the
required payments on debt securities held by the Fund. Debt securities also go
up or down in value based on the perceived creditworthiness of issuers. A
default on an investment held by the Fund could cause the value of your
investment in the Fund to decline.

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK. A major change in interest rates or a
significant decline in the market value of a Fund investment, or other market
event could cause the value of your investment in the Fund, or its yield, to
decline.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. You should be aware that investments in foreign securities
involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad,
as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to
which U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and markets are subject. These risks may
include expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, withholding taxes on
dividends and interest paid on fund investments, fluctuations in currency
exchange rates, currency exchange controls and other limitations on the use or
transfer of assets by the Fund or issuers of securities, and political or
social instability. In addition, foreign companies may not be subject to
accounting standards or governmental supervision comparable to U.S. companies,
and there may be less public information about their operations. Foreign
markets may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets. As a result,
there may be rapid changes in the value of foreign securities. Foreign markets
also may offer less protection to investors such as the Fund.

CONCENTRATION IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY. Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves
concentrates in bank obligations. This means that an investment in the Fund is
particularly susceptible to adverse events affecting the banking industry.
Banks are highly regulated. Decisions by regulators may limit the loans banks
make and the interest rates and fees they charge, and may reduce bank
profitability. Banks also depend on being able to obtain funds at reasonable
costs to finance their lending operations. This makes them sensitive to
changes in money market and general economic conditions. When a bank's
borrowers get in financial trouble, their failure to repay the bank will also
affect the bank's financial situation.

$1.00 NET ASSET VALUE. In order to maintain a $1.00 per share net asset value,
the Fund could reduce the number of its outstanding shares. The Fund could do
this if there were a default on an investment held by the Fund, or if the
investment declined significantly in value. If this happened, you would own
fewer shares. By investing in the Fund, you agree to this reduction should it
become necessary.

<PAGE>

FUND PERFORMANCE
The following bar chart and table can help you evaluate the risks and
performance of the Fund. The bar chart shows the total returns of the Fund's
Class A shares for the calendar years indicated. The table compares the
average annual returns for the Fund's Class A shares to the performance of the
iMoneyNet 1st Tier Institutional Taxable Money Market Funds Average.

The Fund offers two classes of shares -- Class A shares and SVB Liquid
Reserves shares. Only Class A shares are offered through this prospectus.

When you consider this information, please remember that the Fund's past
performance is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the
future. The Fund's performance reflects certain fee waivers or reimbursements.
If these are reduced or eliminated, the Fund's performance may go down. For

EXAMPLE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to
the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that:

o you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated;

o you reinvest all dividends;

o you then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods;

o your investment has a 5% return each year -- the assumption of a 5%
return is required by the SEC for the purpose of this example and is not
a prediction of the Fund's future performance; and

o the Fund's operating expenses as shown in the table remain the same --
the example includes contractual fee waivers for the one year period,
but does not include voluntary waivers and fee reimbursements.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:

CITI INSTITUTIONAL U.S. TREASURY RESERVES
This summary briefly describes Citi Institutional U.S Treasury Reserves and the
principal risks of investing in it. For more information, see MORE ABOUT THE
FUNDS on page 18.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Citi Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves may invest in:

o U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds;

o Treasury receipts; and

o securities issued by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities that are
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

Please note that the Fund invests in securities through an underlying mutual
fund.

MAIN RISKS
Investing in a mutual fund involves risk. Although Citi Institutional U.S.
Treasury Reserves seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in this Fund. Please remember
that an investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Citibank and is not insured
or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency.

YIELD FLUCTUATION. The Fund invests in short term money market instruments.
As a result, the amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down

CITI INSTITUTIONAL TAX FREE RESERVES
This summary briefly describes Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves and the
principal risks of investing in it. For more information, see MORE ABOUT THE
FUNDS on page 18.

FUND GOAL
The Fund's goals are to provide its shareholders with high levels of current
income exempt from federal income taxes, preservation of capital and
liquidity. Of course, there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its
goals.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
o Under normal market conditions, Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves invests
at least 80% of its assets in high quality municipal obligations and in
participation interests in these obligations issued by banks, insurance
companies and other financial institutions. Municipal obligations are debt
securities issued by states, cities and towns and other public entities or
qualifying issuers. The interest paid on these debt securities is free from
federal income tax but is generally lower than the interest paid on taxable
securities.

o The Fund invests at least 25% of its assets in participation interests in
municipal obligations that are secured by bank letters of credit or
guarantees.

o The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in high quality securities that
pay interest that is subject to federal income tax or federal alternative
minimum tax.

Please note that the Fund invests in securities through an underlying mutual
fund.

MAIN RISKS
Investing in a mutual fund involves risk. Although Citi Institutional Tax Free
Reserves seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it
is possible to lose money by investing in this Fund. Please remember that an
investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Citibank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency.

YIELD FLUCTUATION. The Fund invests in short term money market instruments.
As a result, the amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down
depending on day-to-day variations in short term interest rates. Investing in
high quality, short-term instruments may result in a lower yield (the income
on your investment) than investing in lower quality or longer-term
instruments.

CREDIT RISK. The Fund invests in high quality debt securities, meaning
securities that are rated, when the Fund buys them, in one of the two highest
short term rating categories by nationally recognized rating agencies or, if
unrated, in the Manager's opinion, are of comparable quality. However, it is
possible that some issuers will be unable to make the required payments on
debt securities held by the Fund. Debt securities also go up or down in value
based on the perceived creditworthiness of issuers. A default on an investment
held by the Fund could cause the value of your investment in the Fund to
decline.

NON-DIVERSIFIED STATUS. Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves is a non-
diversified mutual fund. This means that it may invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the obligations of a limited number of issuers.
Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves also may invest 25% or more of its assets
in securities of issuers that are located in the same state, that derive
income from similar type projects or that are otherwise related. As a result,
many securities held by the Fund may be adversely affected by a particular
single economic, business, regulatory or political event. You should consider
the potential risk inherent in these policies when you compare the Fund with a
more diversified mutual fund.

CONCENTRATION IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY. Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves
concentrates in participation interests in municipal obligations that are
issued by banks and secured by bank letters of credit or guarantees. This
means that an investment in the Fund is particularly susceptible to adverse
events affecting the banking industry. Banks are highly regulated. Decisions
by regulators may limit the loans banks make and the interest rates and fees
they charge, and may reduce bank profitability. Banks also depend on being
able to obtain funds at reasonable costs to finance their lending operations.
This makes them sensitive to changes in money market and general economic
conditions. When a bank's borrowers get in financial trouble, their failure to
repay the bank will also affect the bank's financial situation.

YOUR ACCOUNT

HOW TO BUY SHARES
Shares of the Funds are offered continuously and purchases may be made Monday
through Friday, except on certain holidays. Shares may be purchased from the
Funds' distributor, or from financial institutions, such as federal or state-
chartered banks, trust companies, savings and loan associations or savings
banks, or broker-dealers (called Service Agents). For more information, or to
purchase shares directly from a Fund, please call the Fund's sub-transfer
agent at 1-800-995-0134.

Shares are purchased at net asset value (normally $1.00 per share) the next
time it is calculated after your order is received in proper form by the Fund.
Each Fund and its distributor have the right to reject any purchase order or
cease offering Fund shares at any time.

Your Service Agent will not transmit your purchase order for Fund shares until
it receives the purchase price in federal or other immediately available
funds. If you pay by check, the Service Agent transmits the order when the
check clears.

If you hold your shares through a Service Agent, your Service Agent will
establish and maintain your account and be the shareholder of record. If you
wish to transfer your account, you may only transfer it to another financial
institution that acts as a Service Agent, or you may set up an account
directly with the Fund's sub-transfer agent.

HOW THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES IS CALCULATED
Each Fund calculates its net asset value (NAV) every day the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading. Institutional Liquid Reserves calculates its NAV
at 3:00 p.m. Eastern time, and the other Funds calculate their NAVs at 12:00
noon Eastern time. On days when the financial markets in which the Funds
invest close early, NAV may be calculated as of the earlier close of those
markets. The Funds' securities are valued at amortized cost, which is
approximately equal to market value.

HOW TO SELL SHARES
You may sell (redeem) your shares Monday through Friday, except on certain
holidays. You may make redemption requests in writing through the Funds' sub-
transfer agent or, if you hold your shares through a Service Agent, through
your Service Agent. If your account application permits, you may also make
redemption requests by telephone. All redemption requests must be in proper
form, as determined by the sub-transfer agent. Each Service Agent is
responsible for promptly submitting redemption requests to the Funds' sub-
transfer agent. For your protection, a Fund may request documentation for
large redemptions or other unusual activity in your account.

You will receive your redemption proceeds in federal funds normally on the
business day on which you sell your shares but in any event within seven days.
Your redemption proceeds may be delayed for up to ten days if your purchase
was made by check. Your redemption proceeds may also be delayed, or your right
to receive redemption proceeds suspended, if the New York Stock Exchange is
closed (other than on weekends or holidays) or trading is restricted, or if an
emergency exists. The Funds have the right to pay your redemption proceeds by
giving you securities instead of cash. In that case, you may incur costs (such
as brokerage commissions) converting the securities into cash. You should be
aware that you may have to pay taxes on your redemption proceeds.

Your Service Agent may impose a minimum account balance requirement. If so,
your Service Agent reserves the right to close your account if it falls below
the required minimum balance. You will have 60 days to make an additional
investment. If you do not increase your balance, your Service Agent may close
your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at net
asset value (normally $1.00 per share) on the day your account was closed.
Please consult your Service Agent for more information.

EXCHANGES
Shares may be exchanged for shares of any other Fund offered in the no-load
family of CitiFunds(R). You may place exchange orders through the sub-transfer
agent or, if you hold your shares through a Service Agent, through your
Service Agent. You may place exchange orders by telephone if your account
application permits. The sub-transfer agent or your Service Agent can provide
you with more information.

There is no sales charge on shares you get through an exchange.

The exchange privilege may be changed or terminated at any time. You should be
aware that you may have to pay taxes on your exchange.

DIVIDENDS
Each Fund calculates its net income each business day when it calculates its
NAV, and declares dividends for all of its shareholders of record. Shares
begin to accrue dividends on the day your purchase order becomes effective.
You will not receive dividends for the day on which your redemption order
becomes effective, which ordinarily will be the next business day after your
trade date. Dividends are distributed once a month, on or before the last
business day of the month. Unless you choose to receive your dividends in
cash, you will receive them as full and fractional additional Fund shares.

TAX MATTERS
This discussion of taxes is for general information only. You should consult
your own tax adviser about your particular situation.

TAXATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS: For Institutional Liquid Reserves and Institutional
U.S. Treasury Reserves, you normally will have to pay federal income tax on
any distributions you receive from a Fund, whether you take distributions in
cash or reinvest them in shares. Distributions designated as capital gain
dividends are taxable as long-term capital gains. Other distributions are
generally taxable as ordinary income. Some dividends paid in January may be
taxable as if they had been paid the previous December.

For Institutional Tax Free Reserves, the Fund expects that most of its net
income will be attributable to interest on municipal obligations. As a result
most of the Fund's dividends to you will not be subject to federal income tax.
However, the Fund may invest from time to time in taxable securities, and
certain Fund dividends may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
It is also possible, but not intended, that the Fund may realize short-term or
long-term capital gains or losses. As a result, the Fund may designate some
distributions as income or short-term capital gain dividends, generally
taxable to you as ordinary income, or capital gains dividends, taxable to you
as long-term capital gains, whether you take distributions in cash or reinvest
them in additional shares.

Fund dividends which Institutional Tax Free Reserves designates as not taxable
are taken into account in determining the amount of your social security and
railroad retirement benefits, if any, that may be subject to federal income
tax. In addition, you may not claim a deduction for interest on indebtedness
you incurred or continued for the purpose of owning Fund shares. Shareholders
who are, or who are related to, "substantial users" of facilities financed by
private activity bonds should consult their tax advisers before buying Fund
shares.

STATE AND LOCAL TAXES: Generally, you will have to pay state or local taxes on
Fund dividends and other distributions, although distributions derived from
interest on U.S. government obligations may be exempt from certain state and
local taxes. Fund dividends that are not taxable to you for federal income tax
purposes may still be taxable to you under the income or other tax laws of any
state or local taxing authority.

TAXATION OF TRANSACTIONS: If you sell your shares of a Fund, or exchange them
for shares of another fund, it is considered a taxable event. Depending on
your purchase price and the sales price of the shares you sell or exchange,
you may have a gain or loss on the transaction. You are responsible for any
tax liabilities generated by your transaction.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING: The account application asks each new investor to certify
that the investor's Social Security or taxpayer identification number is
correct and that the shareholder is not subject to 31% backup withholding for
failing to report income to the IRS. A Fund may be required to withhold (and
pay over to the IRS for your credit) 31% of certain distributions it pays you
if you fail to provide this information or otherwise violate IRS regulations.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS: Each Fund will withhold U.S. federal income tax payments
at the rate of 30% (or any lower applicable treaty rate) on taxable dividends
and other payments subject to withholding taxes that are made to persons who
are not citizens or residents of the United States. Distributions received
from a Fund by non-U.S. persons also may be subject to tax under the laws of
their own jurisdictions.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

MANAGER
Each Fund draws on the strength and experience of Citibank. Citibank is the
manager of each Fund, and subject to policies set by the Funds' Trustees,
Citibank makes investment decisions. Citibank has been managing money since
1822. With its affiliates, it currently manages more than $351 billion in
assets worldwide.

Citibank, with its headquarters at 153 East 53rd Street, New York, New York,
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. CitiFunds is a registered
service mark of Citicorp. Citi is a service mark of Citicorp.

Citibank and its affiliates may have banking and investment banking
relationships with the issuers of securities that are held in the Funds.
However, in making investment decisions for the Funds, the Funds' Manager does
not obtain or use material inside information acquired by any division,
department or affiliate of Citibank in the course of those relationships.
Citibank and its affiliates may have loans outstanding that are repaid with
proceeds of securities purchased by the Funds.

MANAGEMENT FEES
For the Funds' fiscal year ended August 31, 2000, Citibank received the
following fees:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEE, AS PERCENTAGE OF
FUND AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS,
AFTER WAIVERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Institutional Liquid Reserves 0.08%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves 0.07%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Institutional Tax Free Reserves 0.12%
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
The Funds do not charge any sales loads, deferred sales loads or other fees in
connection with the purchase of shares.

The Funds have adopted distribution plans under rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The plans allow Institutional U.S. Treasury
Reserves, Institutional Tax Free Reserves and the Class A shares of
Institutional Liquid Reserves to use up to 0.10% per year of their average
daily net assets to compensate the Funds' distributor for its distribution
activities. Because fees under the plans are paid out of Fund assets, over
time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you
more than paying other types of sales charges. The distributor currently
waives a portion of these fees on a voluntary basis. This fee waiver may be
terminated or reduced at any time.

The distributor may make payments for distribution and/or shareholder
servicing activities out of its past profits and other available sources. The
distributor may also make payments for marketing, promotional or related
expenses to dealers. The amount of these payments is determined by the
distributor and may vary. The Funds' Manager may make similar payments under
similar arrangements.

MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS

The Funds' goals, principal investments and risks are summarized in FUNDS AT A
GLANCE. More information on investments and investment strategies appears
below.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Funds' principal investment strategies are the strategies that, in the
opinion of the Manager are most likely to be important in trying to achieve
each Fund's investment goals. Of course, there can be no assurance that any
Fund will achieve its goals. Please note that each Fund may also use
strategies and invest in securities that are not described below but that are
described in the Statement of Additional Information. A Fund may not use all
of the strategies and techniques or invest in all of the types of securities
described in the Prospectus or in the Statement of Additional Information.

Each Fund has specific investment policies and procedures designed to maintain
a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. Each Fund also complies with
industry regulations that apply to money market funds. These regulations
require that each Fund's investments mature or be deemed to mature within 397
days from the date purchased and that the average maturity of each Fund's
investments (on a dollar-weighted basis) be 90 days or less. In addition, all
of the Funds' investments must be in U.S. dollar-denominated high quality
securities which have been determined by the Manager to present minimal credit
risks. To be high quality, a security (or its issuer) must be rated in one of
the two highest short-term rating categories by nationally recognized rating
agencies, such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's, or, if unrated, in the
Manager's opinion, be of comparable quality. Investors should note that within
these two rating categories there may be sub-categories or gradations
indicating relative quality. If the credit quality of a security deteriorates
after a Fund buys it, the Manager will decide whether the security should be
held or sold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS?
A Money Market Instrument is a short-term IOU issued by banks or other
corporations, or the U.S. or a foreign government and state or local
governments. Money market instruments have maturity dates of 13 months or
less. Money market instruments may include Certificates Of Deposit, Bankers'
Acceptances, Variable Rate Demand Notes (where the interest rate is reset
periodically and the holder may demand payment from the issuer at any time),
Fixed-Term Obligations, Commercial Paper (short term unsecured debt of
corporations), Asset-Backed Securities (which are backed by pools of
accounts receivable such as car installment loans or credit card
receivables) and Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase agreement, the
seller sells a security and agrees to buy it back at a later date (usually
within seven days) and at a higher price, which reflects an agreed upon
interest rate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves invests in high quality U.S. dollar-
denominated money market instruments of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. These
obligations include U.S. government obligations, obligations of U.S. and non-
U.S. banks, obligations issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western
Europe, Australia, Japan and Canada, commercial paper, asset backed securities
and repurchase agreements. The Fund's U.S. government obligations may include
U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and notes and obligations of U.S. government
agencies and instrumentalities that may, but need not, be backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States. While the Fund can invest in all of
these types of obligations, the Fund invests at least 25% of its assets, and
may invest all of its assets in bank obligations, including certificates of
deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers' acceptances. Except for this
concentration policy, the Fund's investment goals and policies may be changed
without a shareholder vote.

Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves invests only in "first tier" securities.
These securities are rated in the highest short-term rating category by
nationally recognized rating agencies or, if unrated, in the Fund's opinion,
are of comparable quality.

Citi Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves invests in U.S. Treasury bills,
bonds, notes and receipts. Treasury receipts are interest coupons on other
U.S. Treasury obligations. This Fund may also invest in short-term obligations
of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities, but only if the obligations
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The Fund's
investment goals and policies may be changed without a shareholder vote.

<PAGE>

ALTHOUGH THE FUND INVESTS IN U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS, AN INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND IS NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves invests primarily in high quality
municipal obligations, including municipal money market instruments, and in
participation interests in municipal obligations. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal
obligations and participation interests. This policy cannot be changed without
a shareholder vote.

Municipal obligations bought by the Fund must be rated in the highest two
rating categories of nationally recognized rating agencies or determined by
the Fund to be of comparable quality.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS?
Municipal obligations are fixed and variable rate obligations issued by or
on behalf of states and municipal governments, Puerto Rico and other U.S.
territories, and their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities and
political subdivisions, and by other qualifying issuers. The interest on
these obligations is exempt from federal income tax, but is generally lower
than the interest paid on taxable securities.

Longer term municipal obligations (municipal bonds) generally are issued to
raise funds for construction or to retire previous debt. Short term
obligations (municipal notes or commercial paper) may be issued to finance
short term cash needs in anticipation of receipt of tax and other revenues.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves may invest in both "general obligation"
securities, which are backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the
issuer, and in "revenue" securities, which are payable only from revenues from
a specific project or another revenue source. The Fund also may invest in
private activity bonds, which fund privately operated industrial facilities.
Payment on these bonds generally is made from payments by the operators of the
facilities and is not backed by the taxing authority of the issuing
municipality. The Fund may invest in municipal lease obligations, which are
undivided interests issued by a state or municipality in a lease or
installment purchase which generally relates to equipment or facilities. In
some cases payments under municipal leases do not have to be made unless money
is specifically approved for that purpose by an appropriate legislative body.

Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves may purchase municipal obligations under
arrangements (called stand-by commitments) where it can sell the securities at
an agreed-upon price and date under certain circumstances. The Fund can also
purchase securities under arrangements (called when-issued or forward-delivery
basis) where the securities will not be delivered immediately. The Fund will
set aside the assets to pay for these securities at the time of the agreement.

Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves concentrates in participation interests
issued by banks and other financial institutions and secured by bank letters
of credit or guarantees. This means that the Fund will invest more than 25% of
its assets in participation interests backed by banks. In a participation
interest, the bank sells undivided interests in a municipal obligation it
owns. These interests may be supported by a bank letter of credit or
guarantee. The interest rate generally is adjusted periodically, and the
holder can sell back to the issuer after a specified notice period. If
interest rates rise or fall, the rates on participation interests and other
variable rate instruments generally will be readjusted.

Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves may also invest in taxable money market
instruments, particularly if the after-tax return on those securities is
greater than the return on municipal money market instruments. The Fund's
taxable investments will be comparable in quality to their municipal
investments. Under normal circumstances, not more than 20% of the Fund's
assets are invested in taxable instruments. Except for its policy to invest in
municipal obligations, the Fund's investment goals and policies may be changed
without a shareholder vote.

Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves may, from time to time, take temporary
defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment
strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, political or other
conditions. When doing so, the Fund may invest without limit in high quality
taxable money market instruments, and may not be pursuing its investment
objectives.

INVESTMENT STRUCTURE. The Funds do not invest directly in securities but
instead invest through an underlying mutual fund having the same goals and
strategies. Unless otherwise indicated, references to these Funds in this
Prospectus include the underlying fund. Each Fund may stop investing in its
corresponding underlying fund at any time, and will do so if the Fund's
Trustees believe that to be in the shareholders' best interests. The Fund
could then invest in another mutual fund or pooled investment vehicle, or
could invest directly in securities.

MANAGEMENT STYLE. Managers of mutual funds use different styles when selecting
securities to purchase. The Manager uses a "top-down" approach when selecting
securities for the Funds. When using a "top-down" approach, the Manager looks
first at broad economic factors and market conditions, such as prevailing and
anticipated interest rates. On the basis of those factors and conditions, the
Manager selects optimal interest rates and maturities and chooses certain
sectors or industries within the overall market. The Manager then looks at
individual companies within those sectors or industries to select securities
for the investment portfolio.

Since the Funds maintain a weighted average maturity of no more than 90 days,
many of their investments are held until maturity. The Manager may sell a
security before maturity when it is necessary to do so to meet redemption
requests. The Manager may also sell a security if the Manager believes the
issuer is no longer as creditworthy, or in order to adjust the average
weighted maturity of a Fund's portfolio (for example, to reflect changes in
the Manager's expectations concerning interest rates), or when the Manager
believes there is superior value in other market sectors or industries.

Fund at a Glance

SVB Liquid Reserves Shares are shares of a money market fund.
Money market funds must follow strict rules about the quality,
maturity and other features of securities they purchase. The
Fund also tries to maintain a share price of $1.00 while
paying income to shareholders. However, no money market fund
guarantees that you will receive your money back.

This summary briefly describes the Fund and the principal
risks of investing in it. For more information, see MORE ABOUT
THE FUND on page 13.

FUND GOAL

The Fund's goal is to provide shareholders with liquidity and
as high a level of current income as is consistent with
preservation of capital. Of course, there is no assurance that
the Fund will achieve its goal.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund invests only in high quality, short-term money market
instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. These may include:

o obligations of U.S. and non- U.S. banks;

o commercial paper and asset backed securities;

o short-term obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and
instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements for these obligations;
and

o obligations issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western
Europe, Australia, Japan and Canada.

The Fund invests at least 25%, and may invest up to 100%, of
its assets in bank obligations, such as certificates of
deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers' acceptances.

Please note that the Fund invests in securities through an
underlying mutual fund.

MAIN RISKS

Investing in a mutual fund involves risk. Although the Fund
seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in this Fund.
Please remember that an investment in the Fund is not a
deposit of Citibank and is not insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described
below. Please note that there are many other factors that
could adversely affect your investment, and that could prevent
the Fund from achieving its goal, which are not described
here. More information about risks appears in the Fund's
Statement of Additional Information. Before investing, you
should carefully consider the risks that you will assume.

YIELD FLUCTUATION. The Fund invests in short-term money market
instruments. As a result, the amount of income paid to you by
the Fund will go up or down depending on day-to-day variations
in short-term interest rates. Investing in high quality,
short-term instruments may result in a lower yield (the income
on your investment) than investing in lower quality or longer-
term instruments.

CREDIT RISK. The Fund invests in debt securities that are
rated, when the Fund buys them, in the highest short term
rating category by nationally recognized rating agencies or,
if unrated, in the Manager's opinion, are of comparable
quality. However, it is possible that some issuers will be
unable to make the required payments on debt securities held
by the Fund. Debt securities also go up or down in value based
on the perceived creditworthiness of issuers. A default on an
investment held by the Fund could cause the value of your
investment in the Fund to decline.

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK. A major change in interest
rates or a significant decline in the market value of a Fund
investment or other market event could cause the value of your
investment in the Fund, or its yield, to decline.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. You should be aware that investments in
foreign securities involve risks relating to political, social
and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting
from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and
non-U.S. issuers and markets are subject. These risks may
include expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation,
withholding taxes on dividends and interest paid on fund
investments, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, currency
exchange controls and other limitations on the use or transfer
of assets by the Fund or issuers of securities, and political
or social instability. In addition, foreign companies may not
be subject to accounting standards or governmental supervision
comparable to U.S. companies, and there may be less public
information about their operations. Foreign markets may be
less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets. As a result,
there may be rapid changes in the value of foreign securities.
Foreign markets also may offer less protection to investors
such as the Fund.

CONCENTRATION IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY. The Fund concentrates
in bank obligations. This means that an investment in the Fund
is particularly susceptible to adverse events affecting the
banking industry. Banks are highly regulated. Decisions by
regulators may limit the loans banks make and the interest
rates and fees they charge, and may reduce bank profitability.
Banks also depend on being able to obtain funds at reasonable
costs to finance their lending operations. This makes them
sensitive to changes in money market and general economic
conditions. When a bank's borrowers get in financial trouble,
their failure to repay the bank will also affect the bank's
financial situation.

$1.00 NET ASSET VALUE. In order to maintain a $1.00 per share
net asset value, the Fund could reduce the number of its
outstanding shares. The Fund could do this if there were a
default on an investment held by the Fund, or if the
investment declined significantly in value. If this happened,
you would own fewer shares. By investing in the Fund, you
agree to this reduction should it become necessary.

Fund Performance

The following bar chart and table can help you evaluate the
risks and performance of the Fund. The bar chart shows the
Fund's total returns for the calendar years indicated. The
table compares the average annual returns for the Fund's Class
A shares to the performance of the iMoney Net 1st Tier
Institutional Money Market Funds Average. The chart and table
show the performance of the Fund's Class A shares because SVB
Liquid Reserves Shares have less than a year of performance
history.

When you consider this information, please remember that the
Fund's past performance is not necessarily an indication of
how it will perform in the future. The Fund's performance
reflects certain fee waivers or reimbursements. If these are
reduced or eliminated, the Fund's performance may go down. For

o you then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods;

o your investment has a 5% return each year -- the assumption of a 5%
return is required by the SEC for the purpose of this example and

Fund at a Glance

This summary briefly describes the Fund and the principal
risks of investing in it. For more information, see MORE ABOUT
THE FUND on page 13.

FUND GOAL

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund invests only in high quality, short-term money market
instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. These may include:

o obligations of U.S. and non- U.S. banks;

o commercial paper and asset backed securities;

o short-term obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and
instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements for these obligations;
and

o obligations issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western
Europe, Australia, Japan and Canada.

The Fund invests at least 25%, and may invest up to 100%, of
its assets in bank obligations, such as certificates of
deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers' acceptances.

Please note that the Fund invests in securities through an
underlying mutual fund.

MAIN RISKS

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described
below. Please note that there are many other factors that
could adversely affect your investment, and that could prevent
the Fund from achieving its goal, which are not described
here. More information about risks appears in the Fund's
Statement of Additional Information. Before investing, you
should carefully consider the risks that you will assume.

CREDIT RISK. The Fund invests in debt securities that are
rated, when the Fund buys them, in the highest short term
rating category by nationally recognized rating agencies or,
if unrated, in the Manager's opinion, are of comparable
quality. However, it is possible that some issuers will be
unable to make the required payments on debt securities held
by the Fund. Debt securities also go up or down in value based
on the perceived creditworthiness of issuers. A default on an
investment held by the Fund could cause the value of your
investment in the Fund to decline.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. You should be aware that investments in
foreign securities involve risks relating to political, social
and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting
from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and
non-U.S. issuers and markets are subject. These risks may
include expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation,
withholding taxes on dividends and interest paid on fund
investments, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, currency
exchange controls and other limitations on the use or transfer
of assets by the Fund or issuers of securities, and political
or social instability. In addition, foreign companies may not
be subject to accounting standards or governmental supervision
comparable to U.S. companies, and there may be less public
information about their operations. Foreign markets may be
less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets. As a result,
there may be rapid changes in the value of foreign securities.
Foreign markets also may offer less protection to investors
such as the Fund.

$1.00 NET ASSET VALUE. In order to maintain a $1.00 per share
net asset value, the Fund could reduce the number of its
outstanding shares. The Fund could do this if there were a
default on an investment held by the Fund, or if the
investment declined significantly in value. If this happened,
you would own fewer shares. By investing in the Fund, you
agree to this reduction should it become necessary.

Your Account

HOW TO BUY SHARES

Shares of the Fund are offered continuously and purchases may
be made Monday through Friday, except on certain holidays. SVB
Liquid Reserves Shares may be purchased by customers of
Silicon Valley Bank from the Fund's distributor or a broker-
dealer or financial institution (called a Service Agent) that
has entered into a service agreement with the distributor
concerning the Fund. You pay no sales charge (load) to invest
in the Fund. The Fund and the distributor have the right to
reject any purchase order or cease offering Fund shares at any
time.

Shares are purchased at net asset value (normally $1.00 per
share) the next time it is calculated after your order is
received in proper form by the Fund. The Fund does not impose
any minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements but
your Service Agent may.

Your Service Agent will not transmit your purchase order for
Fund shares until it receives the purchase price in federal or
other immediately available funds. If you pay by check, the
Service Agent transmits the order when the check clears.

If you hold your shares through a Service Agent, your Service
Agent will establish and maintain your account and be the
shareholder of record. If you wish to transfer your account,
you may transfer it to another financial institution, or you
may set up an account directly with the Fund's sub-transfer
agent.

HOW THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES IS CALCULATED

The Fund calculates its net asset value (NAV) at 3:00 p.m.
Eastern time every day the New York Stock Exchange is open for
trading. On days when the financial markets in which the Fund
invests close early, NAV may be calculated as of the earlier
close of those markets. The Fund's securities are valued at
amortized cost, which is approximately equal to market value.

HOW TO SELL SHARES

You may sell (redeem) your shares Monday through Friday,
except on certain holidays. You may make redemption requests
in writing through the Fund's sub-transfer agent or, if you
hold your shares through a Service Agent, through your Service
Agent. If your account application permits, you may also make
redemption requests by telephone. All redemption requests must
be in proper form, as determined by the sub-transfer agent.
Your Service Agent is responsible for promptly submitting
redemption requests to the Fund's sub-transfer agent. For your
protection, the Fund may request documentation for large
redemptions or other unusual activity in your account.

You will receive your redemption proceeds in federal funds
normally on the business day on which you sell your shares but
in any event within seven days. However, your redemption
proceeds may be delayed for up to ten days if your purchase
was made by check. Your redemption proceeds may also be
delayed, or your right to receive redemption proceeds
suspended, if the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other
than on weekends or holidays) or trading is restricted, or if
an emergency exists. The Fund has the right to pay your
redemption proceeds by giving you securities instead of cash.
In that case, you may incur costs (such as brokerage
commissions) converting the securities into cash. You should
be aware that you may have to pay taxes on your redemption
proceeds.

EXCHANGES

There are currently no exchange privileges in effect with
respect to SVB Liquid Reserves Shares. However, in the future,
you may be able to exchange your shares of the Fund for shares
of certain CitiFunds that are made available by your Service
Agent. Your Service Agent will provide you with more
information about available funds, including a prospectus for
any fund to be acquired through an exchange. If your account
application allows, you may arrange the exchange by telephone.

There is no sales charge on shares you get through an
exchange.

The exchange privilege, if implemented, may be changed or
terminated at any time. You should be aware that you may have
to pay taxes on your exchange.

DIVIDENDS

The Fund calculates its net income each business day when it
calculates its NAV, and declares dividends for all of its
shareholders of record. Shares begin to accrue dividends on
the day your purchase order is effective. You will not receive
dividends for the day on which your redemption order becomes
effective, which ordinarily will be the next business day
after your trade date. Dividends are distributed once a month,
on or before the last business day of the month. Unless you
choose to receive your dividends in cash, you will receive
them as full and fractional additional Fund shares.

TAX MATTERS

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

TAXATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS: You normally will have to pay
federal income tax on any distributions you receive from the
Fund, whether you take distributions in cash or reinvest them
in shares. Distributions designated as capital gain dividends
are taxable as long-term capital gains. Other distributions
are generally taxable as ordinary income. Some dividends paid
in January may be taxable as if they had been paid the
previous December.

STATE AND LOCAL TAXES: Generally, you will have to pay state
or local taxes on Fund dividends and other distributions,
although distributions derived from interest on U.S.
government obligations may be exempt from certain state and
local taxes. Fund dividends that are not taxable to you for
federal income tax purposes may still be taxable to you under
the income or other tax laws of any state or local taxing
authority.

TAXATION OF TRANSACTIONS: If you sell your shares of the Fund,
or exchange them for shares of another fund, it is considered
a taxable event. Depending on your purchase price and the
sales price of the shares you sell or exchange, you may have a
gain or loss on the transaction. You are responsible for any
tax liabilities generated by your transaction.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING: The account application asks each new
investor to certify that the investor's Social Security or
taxpayer identification number is correct and that the
shareholder is not subject to 31% backup withholding for
failing to report income to the IRS. The Fund may be required
to withhold (and pay over to the IRS for your credit) 31% of
certain distributions it pays you if you fail to provide this
information or otherwise violate IRS regulations.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS: The Fund will withhold U.S. federal
income tax payments at the rate of 30% (or any lower
applicable treaty rate) on taxable dividends and other
payments subject to withholding taxes that are made to persons
who are not citizens or residents of the United States.
Distributions received from the Fund by non-U.S. persons also
may be subject to tax under the laws of their own
jurisdictions.
<PAGE>

Management of the Fund

MANAGER

The Fund draws on the strength and experience of Citibank.
Citibank is the manager of the Fund, and subject to policies
set by the Fund's Trustees, Citibank makes investment
decisions. Citibank has been managing money since 1822. With
its affiliates, it currently manages more than $351 billion in
assets worldwide.

Citibank, with its headquarters at 153 East 53rd Street, New
York, New York, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc.

Citibank and its affiliates, including their directors,
officers or employees, may have banking and investment banking
relationships with the issuers of securities that are held in
the Fund. They may also own the securities of these issuers.
However, in making investment decisions for the Fund, the
Fund's Manager does not obtain or use material inside
information acquired by any division, department or affiliate
of Citibank in the course of those relationships. Citibank and
its affiliates may have loans outstanding that are repaid with
proceeds of securities purchased by the Fund.

MANAGEMENT FEES

For the Fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 2000 Citibank
received, after waivers, a fee of 0.08% of the Fund's average
daily net assets.

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS

The Fund offers two classes of shares - Class A and SVB Liquid
Reserves Shares, with different expense levels. Only SVB
Liquid Reserves Shares are offered in this prospectus. The
Fund does not charge any sales loads, deferred sales loads or
other fees in connection with the purchase of shares.

The Fund has adopted a service plan for SVB Liquid Reserves
Shares under rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The service plan allows the Fund to pay the distributor,
Service Agents or others a monthly service fee at an annual
rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets
represented by SVB Liquid Reserves Shares. This service fee
may be used to make payments for providing personal service or
the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The service plan also
allows the Fund to pay the distributor, Service Agents or
others a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to
exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets represented by
SVB Liquid Reserves Shares. This distribution fee may be used
as compensation for the sale of Fund shares, for advertising,
marketing or other promotional activity. Because fees under
the plan are paid out of Fund assets, over time these fees
will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you
more than paying other types of sales charges.
<PAGE>

More About the Fund

The Fund's goals, principal investments and risks are
summarized in FUND AT A GLANCE. More information on
investments and investment strategies appears below.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund's principal investment strategies are described
below. Please note that the Fund may also use strategies and
invest in securities that are described in the Statement of
Additional Information. The Fund may not use all of the
strategies and techniques or invest in all of the types of
securities described in the Prospectus or in the Statement of
Additional Information. Of course, there can be no assurance
that the Fund will achieve its goals.

The Fund has specific investment policies and procedures
designed to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per
share. The Fund also complies with industry regulations that
apply to money market funds. These regulations require that
the Fund's investments mature or be deemed to mature within
397 days from the date purchased and that the average maturity
of the Fund's investments (on a dollar-weighted basis) be 90
days or less. In addition, the Fund's investment policies
require that all of the Fund's investments be in U.S. dollar-
denominated "first-tier" securities which have been determined
by the Manager to present minimal credit risks. To be a
"first-tier" security, a security (or its issuer) must be
rated in the highest short-term rating category by nationally
recognized rating agencies, such as Moody's or Standard &
Poor's, or, if unrated, in the Manager's opinion, be of
comparable quality. Investors should note that within this
rating category there may be sub-categories or gradations
indicating relative quality. If the credit quality of a
security deteriorates after the Fund buys it, the Manager will
decide whether the security should be held or sold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS?

A MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENT is a short-term IOU issued by banks
or other corporations, or the U.S. or a foreign government and
state or local governments. Money market instruments have
maturity dates of 13 months or less. Money market instruments
may include CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT, BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES,
VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTES (where the interest rate is reset
periodically and the holder may demand payment from the issuer
at any time), FIXED-TERM OBLIGATIONS, COMMERCIAL PAPER (short
term unsecured debt of corporations), ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
(which are backed by pools of accounts receivable such as car
installment loans or credit card receivables) and REPURCHASE
AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the seller sells a
security and agrees to buy it back at a later date (usually
within seven days) and at a higher price, which reflects an
agreed upon interest rate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund invests in high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market instruments of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. These
obligations include U.S. government obligations, obligations
of U.S. and non-U.S. banks, obligations issued or guaranteed
by the governments of Western Europe, Australia, Japan and
Canada, commercial paper, asset backed securities and
repurchase agreements. The Fund's U.S. government obligations
may include U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and notes and
obligations of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities
that may, but need not, be backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States. While the Fund can invest in all of
these types of obligations, the Fund invests at least 25% of
its assets, and may invest all of its assets in bank
obligations, including certificates of deposit, fixed time
deposits and bankers' acceptances. Except for this
concentration policy, the Fund's investment goals and policies
may be changed without a shareholder vote.

INVESTMENT STRUCTURE. The Fund does not invest directly in
securities but instead invests through an underlying mutual
fund having the same goals and strategies. Unless otherwise
indicated, references to the Fund in this Prospectus include
the underlying fund. The Fund may stop investing in its
corresponding underlying fund at any time, and will do so if
the Fund's Trustees believe that to be in the shareholders'
best interests. The Fund could then invest in another mutual
fund or pooled investment vehicle, or could invest directly in
securities.

MANAGEMENT STYLE. Managers of mutual funds use different
styles when selecting securities to purchase. The Fund's
Manager uses a "top-down" approach when selecting securities
for the Fund. When using a "top-down" approach, the Manager
looks first at broad economic factors and market conditions,
such as prevailing and anticipated interest rates. On the
basis of those factors and conditions, the Manager selects
optimal interest rates and maturities and chooses certain
sectors or industries within the overall market. The Manager
then looks at individual companies within those sectors or
industries to select securities for the investment portfolio.

Since the Fund maintains a weighted average maturity of no
more than 90 days, many of its investments are held until
maturity. The Manager may sell a security before maturity when
it is necessary to do so to meet redemption requests. The
Manager may also sell a security if the Manager believes the
issuer is no longer as creditworthy, or in order to adjust the
average weighted maturity of the Fund's portfolio (for
example, to reflect changes in the Manager's expectations
concerning interest rates), or when the Manager believes there
is superior value in other market sectors or industries.

THE FUND. SVB Liquid Reserves Shares are a class of shares of
Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves. "Citi" is a service mark
of Citicorp.

FUND AT A GLANCE

Citi(SM) Institutional Cash Reserves is a money market
fund. Money market funds must follow strict rules
about the quality, maturity and other features of
securities they purchase. The Fund also tries to
maintain a share price of $1.00 while paying income to
shareholders. However, no money market fund guarantees
that you will receive your money back.

<PAGE>

CITI INSTITUTIONAL CASH RESERVES
This summary briefly describes Citi Institutional Cash Reserves and the
principal risks of investing in it. For more information, see MORE ABOUT THE
FUND on page 11.

FUND GOAL
The Fund's goal is to provide shareholders with liquidity and as high a level
of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital. Of course,
there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its goal.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund invests only in high quality, short-term money market instruments
denominated in U.S. dollars. These may include:

o obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks;

o commercial paper and asset backed securities;

o short-term obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and
instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements for these obligations; and

o obligations issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western Europe,
Australia, Japan and Canada.

The Fund invests at least 25%, and may invest up to 100%, of its assets in
bank obligations, such as certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits and
bankers' acceptances.

MAIN RISKS
Investing in a mutual fund involves risk. Although Citi Institutional Cash
Reserves seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it
is possible to lose money by investing in this Fund. Please remember that an
investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Citibank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency.

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described below. Please note
that there are many other factors that could adversely affect your investment,
and that could prevent the Fund from achieving its goals, which are not
described here. More information about risks appears in the Fund's Statement
of Additional Information. Before investing, you should carefully consider the
risks that you will assume.

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK: A major change in interest rates or a
significant decline in the market value of a Fund investment, or other market
event could cause the value of your investment in the Fund, or its yield, to
decline.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. You should be aware that investments in foreign securities
involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad,
as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to
which U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and markets are subject. These risks may
include expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, withholding taxes on
dividends and interest paid on fund investments, fluctuations in currency
exchange rates, currency exchange controls and other limitations on the use or
transfer of assets by the Fund or issuers of securities, and political or
social instability. In addition, foreign companies may not be subject to
accounting standards or governmental supervision comparable to U.S. companies,
and there may be less public information about their operations. Foreign
markets may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets. As a result,
there may be rapid changes in the value of foreign securities. Non-U.S.
markets also may offer less protection to investors such as the Fund.

CONCENTRATION IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY. Citi Institutional Cash Reserves
concentrates in bank obligations. This means that an investment in the Fund is
particularly susceptible to adverse events affecting the banking industry.
Banks are highly regulated. Decisions by regulators may limit the loans banks
make and the interest rates and fees they charge, and may reduce bank
profitability. Banks also depend on being able to obtain funds at reasonable
costs to finance their lending operations. This makes them sensitive to
changes in money market and general economic conditions. When a bank's
borrowers get in financial trouble, their failure to repay the bank will also
affect the bank's financial situation.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The following bar chart and table can help you evaluate the risks and
performance of the Fund. The bar chart shows the total return of the Fund's
Class L shares for the calendar years indicated. The table compares the
average annual returns for Class L shares of the Fund to the performance of
the iMoneyNet S&P AAA-rated Taxable Institutional Money Funds Average. When
you consider this information, please remember that the Fund's past
performance is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the
future. The Fund's performance reflects certain fee waivers and
reimbursements. If these are reduced or eliminated, the Fund's performance may
go down. For current yield information, please call 1-800-995-0134 toll free,
or contact your account representative.

The Fund has authorized four classes of shares, Class I, Class L, Class O and
Class S shares. Performance for the Class L shares only is shown in the
following table, because only Class L shares were outstanding during the full
calendar year. You should note that the performance of the other classes will
vary from that shown for the Class L shares, depending upon the expense level
for that class.

EXAMPLE

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to
the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that:

o you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated;

o you reinvest all dividends;

o you then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods;

o your investment has a 5% return each year -- the assumption of a 5%
return is required by the SEC for the purpose of this example and is not
a prediction of the Fund's future performance; and

o the Fund's operating expenses as shown in the table remain the same --
the example does not include voluntary waivers and fee reimbursements.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your
costs would be:

YOUR ACCOUNT

HOW TO BUY SHARES
Shares of the Fund are offered continuously and purchases may be made Monday
through Friday, except on certain holidays. Shares may be purchased from the
Fund's distributor, or from financial institutions, such as federal or state-
chartered banks, trust companies, savings and loan associations or savings
banks, or broker-dealers (called Service Agents). The Fund has authorized the
issuance of Class I, Class L, Class O, or Class S shares with different
expense levels. All share classes may not be made available by each Service
Agent. For more information, or to purchase shares directly from the Fund,
please call the Fund's sub-transfer agent at 1-800-995-0134.

Shares are purchased at net asset value (normally $1.00 per share) the next
time it is calculated after your order is received in proper form by the Fund.
The Fund and the distributor have the right to reject any purchase order or
cease offering Fund shares at any time.

If you are a customer of a Service Agent, your Service Agent will establish
and maintain your account and be the shareholder of record. If you wish to
transfer your account, you may only transfer it to another financial
institution that acts as a Service Agent, or you may set up an account
directly with the Fund's sub-transfer agent.

HOW THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES IS CALCULATED
The Fund calculates its net asset value (NAV) at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time every
day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. On days when the
financial markets in which the Fund invests close early, NAV may be calculated
as of the earlier close of those markets. The Fund's securities are valued at
amortized cost, which is approximately equal to market value.

HOW TO SELL SHARES
You may sell (redeem) your shares Monday through Friday, except on certain
holidays. You may make redemption requests in writing through the Fund's sub-
transfer agent or, if you hold your shares through a Service Agent, through
your Service Agent. If your account application permits, you may also make
redemption requests by telephone. All redemption requests must be in proper
form, as determined by the sub-transfer agent. Each Service Agent is
responsible for promptly submitting redemption requests to the Fund's sub-
transfer agent. For your protection, the Fund may request documentation for
large redemptions or other unusual activity in your account.

You will receive your redemption proceeds in federal funds normally on the
business day on which you sell your shares but in any event within seven days.
Your redemption proceeds may be delayed for up to ten days if your purchase
was made by check. Your redemption proceeds may also be delayed, or your right
to receive redemption proceeds suspended, if the New York Stock Exchange is
closed (other than on weekends or holidays) or trading is restricted, or if an
emergency exists. The Fund has the right to pay your redemption proceeds by
giving you securities instead of cash. In that case, you may incur costs (such
as brokerage commissions) converting the securities into cash. You should be
aware that you may have to pay taxes on your redemption proceeds.

Your Service Agent may impose a minimum account balance requirement. If so,
your Service Agent reserves the right to close your account if it falls below
the required minimum amount. You will have 60 days to make an additional
investment. If you do not increase your balance, your Service Agent may close
your account and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at net
asset value (normally $1.00 per share) on the day your account was closed.
Please consult your Service Agent for more information.

There is no sales charge on shares you get through an exchange.

DIVIDENDS
Each business day when the Fund determines its NAV it calculates its net
income and declares dividends for all of its shareholders of record. Shares
begin to accrue dividends on the day your purchase order becomes effective.
You will not receive dividends for the day on which your redemption order
becomes effective, which ordinarily will be the next business day after your
trade date. Dividends are distributed once a month, on or before the last
business day of the month. Unless you choose to receive your dividends in
cash, you will receive them as full and fractional additional Fund shares.

TAX MATTERS
This discussion of taxes is for general information only. You should consult
your own tax adviser about your particular situation.

TAXATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS: You normally will have to pay federal income tax,
and any state or local taxes, on any distributions you receive from the Fund,
whether you take distributions in cash or reinvest them in shares.
Distributions designated as capital gain dividends are taxable as long-term
capital gains. Other distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income.
Some dividends paid in January may be taxable as if they had been paid the
previous December. Distributions derived from interest on U.S. government
obligations may be exempt from certain state and local taxes.

TAXATION OF TRANSACTIONS: If you sell your shares of the Fund, or exchange
them for shares of another fund, it is considered a taxable event. Depending
on your purchase price and the sales price of the shares you sell or exchange,
you may have a gain or loss on the transaction. You are responsible for any
tax liabilities generated by your transaction.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING: The account application asks each new investor to certify
that the investor's Social Security or taxpayer identification number is
correct and that the shareholder is not subject to 31% backup withholding for
failing to report income to the IRS. The Fund may be required to withhold (and
pay over to the IRS for your credit) 31% of certain distributions it pays to
you if you fail to provide this information or otherwise violate IRS
regulations.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS: The Fund will withhold U.S. federal income tax payments
at the rate of 30% (or any lower applicable treaty rate) on taxable dividends
and other payments subject to withholding taxes that are made to persons who
are not citizens or residents of the United States. Distributions received
from the Fund by non-U.S. persons also may be subject to tax under the laws of
their own jurisdictions.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

MANAGER
The Fund draws on the strength and experience of Citibank. Citibank is the
manager of the Fund, and subject to policies set by the Fund's Trustees,
Citibank makes investment decisions. Citibank has been managing money since
1822. With its affiliates, it currently manages more than $351 billion in
assets worldwide.

Citibank and its affiliates may have banking and investment banking
relationships with the issuers of securities that are held in the Fund.
However, in making investment decisions for the Fund, the Fund's Manager does
not obtain or use material inside information acquired by any division,
department or affiliate of Citibank in the course of those relationships.
Citibank and its affiliates may have loans outstanding that are repaid with
proceeds of securities purchased by the Fund.

MANAGEMENT FEES
For the Fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 2000 Citibank received, after
waivers, a management fee of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
The Fund does not charge any sales loads, deferred sales loads or other fees
in connection with the purchase of shares.

The Fund has adopted separate service plans under rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 pertaining to Class I, Class L, Class O and
Class S shares. The service plans allow the Fund to pay the distributor,
Service Agents or others, in connection with each class of shares, a monthly
service fee as a percentage of the average daily net assets represented by
that class of shares, at an annual rate not to exceed the following:

CLASS I 0.05%
CLASS L 0.10%
CLASS O 0.05%
CLASS S 0.25%

These fees may be used to make payments to the distributor for distribution
services, and to Service Agents or others as compensation for the sale of Fund
shares, for advertising, marketing or other promotional activity, or for
providing personal service or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Because
fees under the plans are paid out of Fund assets, over time these fees will
increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other
types of sales charges.

The distributor may make payments for distribution and/or shareholder
servicing activities out of its past profits and other available sources. The
distributor may also make payments for marketing, promotional or related
expenses to dealers. The amount of these payments is determined by the
distributor and may vary. The Fund's Manager may make similar payments under
similar arrangements.

MORE ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's goals, principal investments and risks are summarized in FUND AT A
GLANCE. More information on investments and investment strategies appears
below.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund's principal investment strategies are the strategies that, in the
opinion of the Manager, are most likely to be important in trying to achieve
its investment goals. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund will
achieve its goals. Please note that the Fund may also use strategies and
invest in securities that are not described below but that are described in
the Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may not use all of the
strategies and techniques or invest in all the types of securities described
in the Prospectus or in the Statement of Additional Information.

The Fund has specific investment policies and procedures designed to maintain
a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund also complies with
industry regulations that apply to money market funds. These regulations
require that the Fund's investments mature or be deemed to mature within 397
days from the date purchased and that the average maturity of the Fund's
investments (on a dollar-weighted basis) be 90 days or less. In addition, all
of the Fund's investments must be in U.S. dollar-denominated high quality
securities which have been determined by the Manager to present minimal credit
risks. To be high quality, a security (or its issuer) must be rated in one of
the two highest short-term rating categories by nationally recognized rating
agencies, such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's, or, if unrated, in the
Manager's opinion, be of comparable quality. Investors should note that within
these two rating categories there may be sub-categories or gradations
indicating relative quality. If the credit quality of a security deteriorates
after the Fund buys it, the Manager will decide whether the security should be
held or sold.

The Fund invests in high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money market
instruments of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. These obligations include U.S.
government obligations, obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks, obligations
issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western Europe, Australia, Japan
and Canada, commercial paper, asset backed securities and repurchase
agreements. The Fund's U.S. government obligations may include U.S. Treasury
bills, bonds and notes and obligations of U.S. government agencies and
instrumentalities that may, but need not, be backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States. While the Fund can invest in all of these types
of obligations, the Fund invests at least 25% and may invest all of its assets
in bank obligations, including certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits
and bankers' acceptances. Except for this concentration policy, the Fund's
investment goals and policies may be changed without a shareholder vote.

The Fund invests only in "first tier" securities, which are securities rated
in the highest short-term rating category by nationally recognized rating
agencies or, in the Manager's opinion, are of comparable quality.

Although the Fund is permitted to maintain a weighted average maturity of up
to 90 days, under normal conditions the Fund will maintain a shorter maturity.
In the event that interest rates decline, the Fund may not generate as high a
yield as other funds with longer weighted average maturities.

INVESTMENT STRUCTURE. The Fund has reserved the right to invest in securities
through an underlying mutual fund having the same goals and strategies.
Shareholders will be given at least 30 days prior written notice before any
such change in investment structure is implemented.

MANAGEMENT STYLE. Managers of mutual funds use different styles when selecting
securities to purchase. The Manager uses a "top-down" approach when selecting
securities for the Fund. When using a "top-down" approach, the Manager looks
first at broad economic factors and market conditions, such as prevailing and
anticipated interest rates. On the basis of those factors and conditions, the
Manager selects optimal interest rates and chooses certain sectors or
industries within the overall market. The Manager then looks at individual
companies within those sectors or industries to select securities for the
investment portfolio.

Since the Fund maintains a weighted average maturity of no more than 90 days,
many of its investments are held until maturity. The Manager may sell a
security before maturity when it is necessary to do so to meet redemption
requests. The Manager may also sell a security if the Manager believes the
issuer is no longer as creditworthy, or in order to adjust the average
weighted maturity of the Fund's portfolio (for example, to reflect changes in
the Manager's expectation concerning interest rates), or when the Manager
believes there is superior value in other market sectors or industries.

1. THE FUNDS

The Trust is a no-load, open-end management investment company which was
organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts on July 8, 1992. Prior to September 1997, the Trust was called
Landmark Institutional Trust. Shares of the Trust are divided into separate
series, including Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves, Citi Institutional U.S.
Treasury Reserves and Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves, which are
described in this Statement of Additional Information. Prior to January 1,
2001, Liquid Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves, and Tax Free Reserves were
called CitiFunds Institutional Liquid Reserves, CitiFunds Institutional U.S.
Treasury Reserves, and CitiFunds Institutional Tax Free Reserves,
respectively, and prior to January 2, 1998, they were called Landmark
Institutional Liquid Reserves, Landmark Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves
and Landmark Institutional Tax Free Reserves, respectively. References in this
Statement of Additional Information to the Prospectuses are to the Prospectus,
dated January 1, 2001, of U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free Reserves, and
Class A shares of Liquid Reserves, and the Prospectus, dated January 1, 2001,
of the SVB Liquid Reserves Shares of Liquid Reserves by which shares of the
Funds are offered.

Each of the Funds is a type of mutual fund commonly referred to as a
"money market fund." Tax Free Reserves is a "tax-exempt money market fund."
The net asset value of each of the Funds' shares is expected to remain
constant at $1.00, although there can be no assurance that this will be so on
a continuing basis. (See "Determination of Net Asset Value.")

The Trust seeks the investment objectives of the Funds by investing all
the investable assets of Liquid Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free
Reserves in Cash Reserves Portfolio, U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax
Free Reserves Portfolio, respectively. Each of the Portfolios is an open-end
management investment company. Each Portfolio has the same investment
objectives and policies as its corresponding Fund. Cash Reserves Portfolio and
U.S. Treasury Reserve Portfolio are diversified; Tax Free Reserves Portfolio
is non-diversified.

The Trustees of the Trust believe that the aggregate per share expenses of
Liquid Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free Reserves and their
corresponding Portfolios will be less than or approximately equal to the
expenses that each Fund would incur if the assets of the Fund were invested
directly in the types of securities held by its Portfolio. Each Fund may
withdraw its investment in its Portfolio at any time, and will do so if the
Fund's Trustees believe it to be in the best interest of the Fund's
shareholders. If a Fund were to withdraw its investment in its Portfolio, the
Fund could either invest directly in securities in accordance with the
investment policies described below or invest in another mutual fund or pooled
investment vehicle having the same investment objectives and policies. If a
Fund were to withdraw, the Fund could receive securities from the Portfolio
instead of cash, causing the Fund to incur brokerage, tax and other charges or
leaving it with securities which may or may not be readily marketable or
widely diversified.

Each Portfolio may change its investment objective and certain of its
investment policies and restrictions without approval by its investors, but a
Portfolio will notify its corresponding Fund (which in turn will notify its
shareholders) and its other investors at least 30 days before implementing any
change in its investment objective. A change in investment objective, policies
or restrictions may cause a Fund to withdraw its investment in its Portfolio.

The Portfolios, as New York trusts, are not required to hold and have no
intention of holding annual meetings of investors. However, when a Portfolio
is required to do so by law, or in the judgment of Trustees it is necessary or
desirable to do so, the Portfolio will submit matters to its investors for a
vote. When a Fund is asked to vote on matters concerning its corresponding
Portfolio (other than a vote to continue the Portfolio following the
withdrawal of an investor), the Fund will hold a shareholder meeting and vote
in accordance with shareholder instructions, or otherwise act in accordance
with applicable law. Of course, the Fund could be outvoted, or otherwise
adversely affected, by other investors in the Portfolio.

The Portfolios may sell interests to investors in addition to the Funds.
These investors may be mutual funds which offer shares to their shareholders
with different costs and expenses than the Funds. Therefore, the investment
returns for all investors in funds investing in a Portfolio may not be the
same. These differences in returns are also present in other mutual fund
structures.

Information about other holders of interests in the Portfolios is
available from the Funds' distributor, Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. ("Salomon
Smith Barney" or the "Distributor"), 388 Greenwich Street, 23rd Floor, New
York, New York 10013, 1-800-451-2010.

Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank", the "Manager" or the "Adviser") is the
investment manager to each of the Portfolios. The Manager manages the
investments of each Portfolio from day to day in accordance with the
investment objectives and policies of that Portfolio. The selection of
investments for each Portfolio, and the way they are managed, depend on the
conditions and trends in the economy and the financial marketplaces. SSB Citi
Fund Management LLC ("SSB Citi"), an affiliate of Citibank, provides certain
administrative services to the Funds and Portfolios.

The Boards of Trustees of the Trust and the Portfolios provide broad
supervision over the affairs of the Trust and of the Portfolios, respectively.

Shares may be purchased from the Funds' distributor, Salomon Smith Barney,
or from financial institutions, such as federal or state-chartered banks, trust
companies, savings and loan associations or savings banks, or broker-dealers
(called "Service Agents"). Although shares of the Funds are sold without a sales
load, the Distributor may receive fees from the Funds pursuant to a Distribution
Plan or Service Plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

2. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The investment objective of INSTITUTIONAL LIQUID RESERVES is to provide
shareholders with liquidity and as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital.

The investment objective of INSTITUTIONAL U.S. TREASURY RESERVES is to
provide its shareholders with liquidity and as high a level of current income
from U.S. government obligations as is consistent with the preservation of
capital.

The investment objectives of INSTITUTIONAL TAX FREE RESERVES are to
provide its shareholders with high levels of current income exempt from
federal income taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity.

The investment objectives of each Fund may be changed without approval by
that Fund's shareholders. Of course, there can be no assurance that any Fund
will achieve its investment objectives.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

The Trust seeks the investment objectives of the Funds by investing all of
the investable assets of Liquid Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free
Reserves in Cash Reserves Portfolio, U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax
Free Reserves Portfolio, respectively, each of which has the same investment
objectives and policies as its corresponding Fund. The Prospectuses contain a
discussion of the principal investment strategies of the Funds and certain
risks of investing in a Fund. The following supplements the information
contained in the Prospectuses concerning the investment objectives, policies
and techniques of each Fund and Portfolio, and contains more information about
the various types of securities in which each Fund and each Portfolio may
invest and the risks involved in such investments. Since the investment
characteristics of Liquid Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free
Reserves will correspond directly to those of the Portfolio in which it
invests, the following is a supplementary discussion with respect to each
Portfolio.

The Trust may withdraw the investment of any Fund from its corresponding
Portfolio at any time, if the Board of Trustees of the Trust determines that
it is in the best interests of the Fund to do so. Upon any such withdrawal, a
Fund's assets would be invested in accordance with the investment policies
described below with respect to its corresponding Portfolio. Except for the
concentration policy of Liquid Reserves with respect to bank obligations
described in paragraph (1) below and for the policy of Tax Free Reserves with
respect to investing in municipal obligations described below, which may not
be changed without the approval of Liquid Reserves' or Tax Free Reserves'
shareholders, as applicable, the approval of a Fund's shareholders would not
be required to change that Fund's investment objectives or any of its
investment policies. Likewise, except for the concentration policy of Cash
Reserves Portfolio with respect to bank obligations described in paragraph (1)
below and for the policy of Tax Free Reserves Portfolio with respect to
investing in municipal obligations described below, which may not be changed
without the approval of Cash Reserves Portfolio's or Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio's investors, as applicable, the approval of the investors in a
Portfolio would not be required to change that Portfolio's investment
objectives or any of its investment policies discussed below, including those
concerning securities transactions. Each Portfolio would, however, give
written notice to its investors at least 30 days prior to implementing any
change in its investment objectives.

CASH RESERVES PORTFOLIO

Cash Reserves Portfolio seeks its investment objective through investments
limited to the following types of high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market instruments. All investments by Cash Reserves Portfolio mature or are
deemed to mature within 397 days from the date of acquisition, and the average
maturity of the investments held by the Portfolio (on a dollar-weighted basis)
is 90 days or less. All investments by the Portfolio are in "first tier"
securities (i.e., securities rated in the highest rating category for short-term
obligations by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations (each, an "NRSRO") assigning a rating to the security or issuer
or, if only one NRSRO assigns a rating, that NRSRO or, in the case of an
investment which is not rated, of comparable quality as determined by the
Adviser under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees) and are determined
by the Adviser under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees to present
minimal credit risks. Investments in high quality, short term instruments may,
in many circumstances, result in a lower yield than would be available from
investments in instruments with a lower quality or a longer term. Cash Reserves
Portfolio may hold uninvested cash reserves pending investment. Under the 1940
Act, Cash Reserves and Cash Reserves Portfolio are each classified as
"diversified," although in the case of Cash Reserves, all of its investable
assets are invested in the Portfolio. A "diversified investment company" must
invest at least 75% of its assets in cash and cash items, U.S. government
securities, investment company securities (e.g., interests in the Portfolio) and
other securities limited as to any one issuer to not more than 5% of the total
assets of the investment company and not more than 10% of the voting securities
of the issuer.

(1) Bank obligations -- Cash Reserves Portfolio invests at least 25%
of its investable assets, and may invest up to 100% of its assets, in bank
obligations. This concentration policy is fundamental and may not be
changed without the approval of the investors in Cash Reserves Portfolio.
Bank obligations include, but are not limited to, negotiable certificates
of deposit, bankers' acceptances and fixed time deposits. Cash Reserves
Portfolio limits its investments in U.S. bank obligations (including their
non-U.S. branches) to banks having total assets in excess of $1 billion
and which are subject to regulation by an agency of the U.S. government.
The Portfolio may also invest in certificates of deposit issued by banks
the deposits in which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"), having total assets of less than $1 billion,
provided that the Portfolio at no time owns more than $100,000 principal
amount of certificates of deposit (or any higher principal amount which in
the future may be fully insured by FDIC insurance) of any one of those
issuers. Fixed time deposits are obligations which are payable at a stated
maturity date and bear a fixed rate of interest. Generally, fixed time
deposits may be withdrawn on demand by the Portfolio, but they may be
subject to early withdrawal penalties which vary depending upon market
conditions and the remaining maturity of the obligation. Although fixed
time deposits do not have a market, there are no contractual restrictions
on the Portfolio's right to transfer a beneficial interest in the deposit
to a third party.

U.S. banks organized under federal law are supervised and examined by
the Comptroller of the Currency and are required to be members of the
Federal Reserve System and to be insured by the FDIC. U.S. banks organized
under state law are supervised and examined by state banking authorities
and are members of the Federal Reserve System only if they elect to join.
However, state banks which are insured by the FDIC are subject to federal
examination and to a substantial body of federal law and regulation. As a
result of federal and state laws and regulations, U.S. branches of U.S.
banks, among other things, are generally required to maintain specified
levels of reserves, and are subject to other supervision and regulation
designed to promote financial soundness.

Cash Reserves Portfolio limits its investments in non-U.S. bank
obligations (i.e., obligations of non-U.S. branches and subsidiaries of
U.S. banks, and U.S. and non-U.S. branches of non-U.S. banks) to U.S.
dollar-denominated obligations of banks which at the time of investment
are branches or subsidiaries of U.S. banks which meet the criteria in the
preceding paragraphs or are branches of non-U.S. banks which (i) have more
than $10 billion, or the equivalent in other currencies, in total assets;
(ii) in terms of assets are among the 75 largest non-U.S. banks in the
world; (iii) have branches or agencies in the United States; and (iv) in
the opinion of the Adviser, are of an investment quality comparable with
obligations of U.S. banks which may be purchased by the Portfolio. These
obligations may be general obligations of the parent bank, in addition to
the issuing branch or subsidiary, but the parent bank's obligations may be
limited by the terms of the specific obligation or by governmental
regulation. The Portfolio also limits its investments in non-U.S. bank
obligations to banks, branches and subsidiaries located in Western Europe
(United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy,
Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden), Australia, Japan, the Cayman
Islands, the Bahamas and Canada. Cash Reserves Portfolio does not purchase
any bank obligation of the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser.

Since Cash Reserves Portfolio may hold obligations of non-U.S.
branches and subsidiaries of U.S. banks, and U.S. and non-U.S. branches of
non-U.S. banks, an investment in Cash Reserves involves certain additional
risks. Such investment risks include future political and economic
developments, the possible imposition of non-U.S. withholding taxes on
interest income payable on such obligations held by the Portfolio, the
possible seizure or nationalization of non-U.S. deposits and the possible
establishment of exchange controls or other non-U.S. governmental laws or
restrictions applicable to the payment of the principal of and interest on
certificates of deposit or time deposits that might affect adversely such
payment on such obligations held by the Portfolio. In addition, there may
be less publicly-available information about a non-U.S. branch or
subsidiary of a U.S. bank or a U.S. or non-U.S. branch of a non-U.S. bank
than about a U.S. bank and such branches and subsidiaries may not be
subject to the same or similar regulatory requirements that apply to U.S.
banks, such as mandatory reserve requirements, loan limitations and
accounting, auditing and financial record-keeping standards and
requirements.

The provisions of federal law governing the establishment and
operation of U.S. branches do not apply to non-U.S. branches of U.S.
banks. However, Cash Reserves Portfolio may purchase obligations only of
those non-U.S. branches of U.S. banks which were established with the
approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Board of Governors"). As a result of such approval, these branches are
subject to examination by the Board of Governors and the Comptroller of
the Currency. In addition, such non-U.S. branches of U.S. banks are
subject to the supervision of the U.S. bank and creditors of the non-U.S.
branch are considered general creditors of the U.S. bank subject to
whatever defenses may be available under the governing non-U.S. law and to
the terms of the specific obligation. Nonetheless, Cash Reserves Portfolio
generally will be subject to whatever risk may exist that the non-U.S.
country may impose restrictions on payment of certificates of deposit or
time deposits.

U.S. branches of non-U.S. banks are subject to the laws of the state
in which the branch is located or to the laws of the United States. Such
branches are therefore subject to many of the regulations, including
reserve requirements, to which U.S. banks are subject. In addition, Cash
Reserves Portfolio may purchase obligations only of those U.S. branches of
non-U.S. banks which are located in states which impose the additional
requirement that the branch pledge to a designated bank within the state
an amount of its assets equal to 5% of its total liabilities.

Non-U.S. banks in whose obligations Cash Reserves Portfolio may invest
may not be subject to the laws and regulations referred to in the
preceding two paragraphs.

(2) Obligations of, or guaranteed by, non-U.S. governments. Cash
Reserves Portfolio limits its investments in non-U.S. government obligations
to obligations issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western Europe
(United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy,
Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden), Australia, Japan and Canada.
Generally, such obligations may be subject to the additional risks described
in paragraph (1) above in connection with the purchase of non-U.S. bank
obligations.

(3) Commercial paper rated Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("Standard &
Poor's") or, if not rated, determined to be of comparable quality by the
Adviser under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, such as
unrated commercial paper issued by corporations having an outstanding
unsecured debt issue currently rated Aaa by Moody's or AAA by Standard &
Poor's. Commercial paper is unsecured debt of corporations usually
maturing in 270 days or less from its date of issuance.

(4) Obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities. These include issues of the U.S. Treasury,
such as bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, bonds and Treasury
Receipts, which are unmatured interest coupons of U.S. Treasury bonds and
notes which have been separated and resold in a custodial receipt program
administered by the U.S. Treasury, and issues of agencies and
instrumentalities established under the authority of an Act of Congress.
Some of the latter category of obligations are supported by the full faith
and credit of the United States, others are supported by the right of the
issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, and still others are supported
only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality. Examples of each of
the three types of obligations described in the preceding sentence are (i)
obligations guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States,
(ii) obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and (iii)
obligations of the Student Loan Marketing Association, respectively.

(5) Repurchase agreements, providing for resale within 397 days or
less, covering obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities which may have maturities in excess of 397
days. (See "Repurchase Agreements" below for a description of repurchase
agreements.)

(6) Asset-backed securities, which may include securities such as
Certificates for Automobile Receivables ("CARS") and Credit Card
Receivable Securities ("CARDS"), as well as other asset-backed securities.
CARS represent fractional interests in pools of car installment loans, and
CARDS represent fractional interests in pools of revolving credit card
receivables. The rate of return on asset-backed securities may be affected
by early prepayment of principal on the underlying loans or receivables.
Prepayment rates vary widely and may be affected by changes in market
interest rates. It is not possible to accurately predict the average life
of a particular pool of loans or receivables. Reinvestment of principal
may occur at higher or lower rates than the original yield. Therefore, the
actual maturity and realized yield on asset-backed securities will vary
based upon the prepayment experience of the underlying pool of loans or
receivables. (See "Asset-Backed Securities.")

Cash Reserves Portfolio does not purchase securities which the Portfolio
believes, at the time of purchase, will be subject to exchange controls or
non-U.S. withholding taxes; however, there can be no assurance that such laws
may not become applicable to certain of the Portfolio's investments. In the
event exchange controls or non-U.S. withholding taxes are imposed with respect
to any of the Portfolio's investments, the effect may be to reduce the income
received by the Portfolio on such investments or to prevent the Portfolio from
receiving any value in U.S. dollars from its investment in non-U.S.
securities.

ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

As set forth above, Cash Reserves Portfolio may purchase asset-backed
securities that represent fractional interests in pools of retail installment
loans, both secured (such as CARS) and unsecured, or leases or revolving
credit receivables, both secured and unsecured (such as CARDS). These assets
are generally held by a trust and payments of principal and interest or
interest only are passed through monthly or quarterly to certificate holders
and may be guaranteed up to certain amounts by letters of credit issued by a
financial institution affiliated or unaffiliated with the trustee or
originator of the trust.

Underlying automobile sales contracts, leases or credit card receivables
are subject to prepayment, which may reduce the overall return to certificate
holders. Reinvestment of principal may occur at higher or lower rates than the
original yield. Certificate holders may also experience delays in payment on
the certificates if the full amounts due on underlying loans, leases or
receivables are not realized by the Portfolio because of unanticipated legal
or administrative costs of enforcing the contracts or because of depreciation
or damage to the collateral (usually automobiles) securing certain contracts,
or other factors. If consistent with its investment objectives and policies,
Cash Reserves Portfolio may invest in other asset-backed securities.

U.S. TREASURY RESERVES PORTFOLIO

U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio seeks its investment objective by
investing in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities including issues of the U.S. Treasury, such as
bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, bonds and Treasury Receipts, which
are unmatured interest coupons of U.S. Treasury bonds and notes which have
been separated and resold in a custodial receipt program administered by the
U.S. Treasury, and in issues of agencies and instrumentalities established
under the authority of an Act of Congress which are supported by the full
faith and credit of the United States. U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio will
not enter into repurchase agreements. All investments by the Portfolio are in
"first tier" securities (i.e., securities rated in the highest rating category
for short-term obligations by at least two NRSRO's assigning a rating to the
security or issuer or, if only one NRSRO assigns a rating, that NRSRO or, in
the case of an investment which is not rated, of comparable quality as
determined by the Adviser under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees)
and are determined by the Adviser under procedures approved by the Board of
Trustees to present minimal credit risks. Investments in high quality, short
term instruments may, in many circumstances, result in a lower yield than
would be available from investments in instruments with a lower quality or a
longer term. U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio may hold uninvested cash
reserves pending investment.

TAX FREE RESERVES PORTFOLIO

Tax Free Reserves Portfolio seeks its investment objectives by investing
primarily in short-term, high quality fixed rate and variable rate obligations
issued by or on behalf of states and municipal governments, and their
authorities, agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions and other
qualifying issuers, the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxes,
including participation interests in such obligations issued by banks, insurance
companies or other financial institutions. (These securities, whether or not the
interest thereon is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, are referred
to herein as "Municipal Obligations.") In determining the tax status of interest
on Municipal Obligations, the Adviser relies on opinions of bond counsel who may
be counsel to the issuer. Although the Portfolio will attempt to invest 100% of
its assets in Municipal Obligations, the Portfolio reserves the right to invest
up to 20% of its total assets in securities the interest income on which is
subject to federal, state and local income tax or the federal alternative
minimum tax. The Portfolio invests more than 25% of its assets in participation
certificates issued by banks in industrial development bonds and other Municipal
Obligations. In view of this "concentration" in bank participation certificates,
an investment in Tax Free Reserves shares should be made with an understanding
of the characteristics of the banking industry and the risks which such an
investment may entail. (See "Variable Rate Instruments and Participation
Interests" below.) Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may hold uninvested cash reserves
pending investment. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's investments may include
"when-issued" or "forward delivery" Municipal Obligations, stand-by commitments
and taxable repurchase agreements.

As a non-diversified investment company, Tax Free Reserves Portfolio is
not subject to any statutory restrictions under the 1940 Act with respect to
limiting the investment of its assets in one or relatively few issuers. This
concentration may present greater risks than in the case of a diversified
company. However, the Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment
company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). In order so to qualify under current law, at the close of each
quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's
total assets must be represented by cash, U.S. goverment securities,
investment company securities and other securities limited in respect of any
one issuer (or related issuers) to not more than 5% in value of the total
assets of the Fund and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of such issuer. In addition, and again under current law, at the close of each
quarter of its taxable year, not more than 25% in value of the Fund's total
assets may be invested in securities, other than U.S. government securities,
of one issuer (or related issuers).

Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may invest 25% or more of its assets in
securities that are related in such a way that an economic, business or
political development or change affecting one of the securities would also
affect the other securities including, for example, securities the interest
upon which is paid from revenues of similar type projects, or securities the
issuers of which are located in the same state.

All investments by Tax Free Reserves Portfolio mature or are deemed to
mature within 397 days from the date of acquisition and the average maturity
of the Portfolio's securities (on a dollar-weighted basis) is 90 days or less.
The maturities of variable rate instruments held by Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio are deemed to be the longer of the notice period, or the period
remaining until the next interest rate adjustment, although the stated
maturities may be in excess of 397 days. (See "Variable Rate Instruments and
Participation Interests" below.) All investments by Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio are "eligible securities," that is, rated in one of the two highest
rating categories for short-term obligations by at least two NRSROs assigning
a rating to the security or issuer or, if only one NRSRO assigns a rating,
that NRSRO, or, in the case of an investment which is not rated, of comparable
quality as determined by the Adviser on the basis of its credit evaluation of
the obligor or of the bank issuing a participation interest, letter of credit
or guarantee, or insurance issued in support of the Municipal Obligations or
participation interests. (See "Variable Rate Instruments and Participation
Interests" below.) Such instruments may produce a lower yield than would be
available from less highly rated instruments. (See "Ratings of Municipal
Obligations" in the Appendix to this Statement of Additional Information.)

The Portfolio's fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its assets,
under normal circumstances, in certain Municipal Obligations is described
below in "Municipal Obligations."

MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS

As a fundamental policy, Tax Free Reserves Portfolio invests at least 80%
of its assets, under normal circumstances, in:

(1) Municipal bonds with remaining maturities of one year or less that
are rated within the Aaa or Aa categories at the date of purchase by
Moody's or within the AAA or AA categories by Standard & Poor's or Fitch
IBCA, Inc. ("Fitch") or, if not rated by these rating agencies, are of
comparable quality as determined by the Adviser under procedures approved
by the Board of Trustees on the basis of the credit evaluation of the
obligor on the bonds or of the bank issuing a participation interest or
guarantee or of any insurance issued in support of the bonds or the
participation interests.

(2) Municipal notes with remaining maturities of one year or less that
at the date of purchase are rated MIG 1/VMIG 1 or MIG 2/VMIG 2 by Moody's,
SP-1+, SP-1 or SP-2 by Standard & Poor's or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch or, if not
rated by these rating agencies, are of comparable quality as determined by
the Adviser under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The
principal kinds of municipal notes are tax and revenue anticipation notes,
tax anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes and revenue anticipation
notes. Notes sold in anticipation of collection of taxes, a bond sale or
receipt of other revenues are usually general obligations of the issuing
municipality or agency.

(3) Municipal commercial paper that is rated Prime-1 or Prime-2 by
Moody's, A-1+, A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch or,
if not rated by these rating agencies, is of comparable quality as
determined by the Adviser under procedures approved by the Board of
Trustees. Issues of municipal commercial paper typically represent very
short-term, unsecured, negotiable promissory notes. These obligations are
often issued to meet seasonal working capital needs of municipalities or
to provide interim construction financing and are paid from general
revenues of municipalities or are refinanced with long-term debt. In most
cases municipal commercial paper is backed by letters of credit, lending
agreements, note repurchase agreements or other credit facility agreements
offered by banks or other institutions which may be called upon in the
event of default by the issuer of the commercial paper.

Subsequent to its purchase by Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, a rated
Municipal Obligation may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below
the minimum required for purchase by the Portfolio. Neither event requires
sale of such Municipal Obligation by the Portfolio (other than variable rate
instruments which must be sold if they are not "high quality"), but the
Adviser considers such event in determining whether the Portfolio should
continue to hold the Municipal Obligation. To the extent that the ratings
given to the Municipal Obligations or other securities held by Tax Free
Reserves Portfolio are altered due to changes in any of the Moody's, Standard
& Poor's or Fitch ratings systems (see the Appendix to this Statement of
Additional Information for an explanation of these rating systems), the
Adviser adopts such changed ratings as standards for its future investments in
accordance with the investment policies contained above and in the Prospectus
for Tax Free Reserves. Certain Municipal Obligations issued by
instrumentalities of the U.S. government are not backed by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. Treasury but only by the creditworthiness of the
instrumentality. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's Board of Trustees has
determined that any Municipal Obligation that depends directly, or indirectly
through a government insurance program or other guarantee, on the full faith
and credit of the U.S. government is considered to have a rating in the
highest category. Where necessary to ensure that the Municipal Obligations are
"eligible securities" (e.g., within the two highest ratings assigned by
Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch or, if not rated, are of comparable
quality as determined by the Adviser under procedures approved by the Board of
Trustees), or where the obligations are not freely transferable, Tax Free
Reserves Portfolio will require that the obligation to pay the principal and
accrued interest be backed by an unconditional irrevocable bank letter of
credit, a guarantee, insurance policy or other comparable undertaking of an
approved financial institution.

MUNICIPAL BONDS. Municipal bonds are debt obligations of states, cities,
municipalities and municipal agencies and authorities which generally have a
maturity at the time of issuance of one year or more and which are issued to
raise funds for various public purposes, such as construction of a wide range
of public facilities, refunding outstanding obligations or obtaining funds for
institutions and facilities. The two principal classifications of municipal
bonds are "general obligation" and "revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds
are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power
for the payment of principal and interest. The principal of and interest on
revenue bonds are payable from the income of specific projects or authorities
and generally are not supported by the issuer's general power to levy taxes.
In some cases, revenues derived from specific taxes are pledged to support
payments on a revenue bond.

In addition, certain kinds of private activity bonds ("PABs") are issued
by or on behalf of public authorities to provide funding for various privately
operated industrial facilities, such as warehouse, office, plant and store
facilities and environmental and pollution control facilities. PABs are, in
most cases, revenue bonds. The payment of the principal and interest on PABs
usually depends solely on the ability of the user of the facilities financed
by the bonds or other guarantor to meet its financial obligations and, in
certain instances, the pledge of real and personal property as security for
payment. Many PABs may not be readily marketable; however, it is expected that
the PABs or the participation certificates in PABs purchased by the Portfolio
will have liquidity because they generally will be supported by demand
features to "high quality" banks, insurance companies or other financial
institutions.

Municipal bonds may be issued as "zero coupon" obligations. Zero-coupon
bonds are issued at a significant discount from their principal amount in lieu
of paying interest periodically. Because zero-coupon bonds do not pay current
interest in cash, their value is subject to greater fluctuation in response to
changes in market interest rates than bonds that pay interest currently.
Zero-coupon bonds allow an issuer to avoid the need to generate cash to meet
current interest payments. Accordingly, such bonds may involve greater credit
risks than bonds paying interest currently in cash. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio
is required to accrue interest income on such investments and to distribute such
amounts at least annually to shareholders even though zero-coupon bonds do not
pay current interest in cash. Thus, it may be necessary at times for the
Portfolio to liquidate investments in order to satisfy its dividend
requirements.

MUNICIPAL NOTES. There are four major varieties of state and municipal
notes: Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes ("TRANs"); Tax Anticipation Notes
("TANs"); Revenue Anticipation Notes ("RANs"); and Bond Anticipation Notes
("BANs"). TRANs, TANs and RANs are issued by states, municipalities and other
tax-exempt issuers to finance short-term cash needs or, occasionally, to
finance construction. Many TRANs, TANs and RANs are general obligations of the
issuing entity payable from taxes or designated revenues, respectively,
expected to be received within the related fiscal period. BANs are issued with
the expectation that their principal and interest will be paid out of proceeds
from renewal notes or bonds to be issued prior to the maturity of the BANs.
BANs are issued most frequently by both general obligation and revenue bond
issuers usually to finance such items as land acquisition, facility
acquisition and/or construction and capital improvement projects.

For an explanation of the ratings of Municipal Obligations by Moody's,
Standard & Poor's and Fitch, see the Appendix to this Statement of Additional
Information.

MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS. Participations in municipal leases are
undivided interests in a portion of a lease or installment purchase issued by
a state or local government to acquire equipment or facilities. Municipal
leases frequently have special risks not normally associated with general
obligation bonds or revenue bonds. Many leases include "non-appropriation"
clauses that provide that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make
future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for
such purpose by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic
basis. Although the obligations will be secured by the leased equipment or
facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation
or foreclosure might, in some cases, prove difficult. Municipal lease
obligations are deemed to be illiquid unless otherwise determined by the Board
of Trustees.

VARIABLE RATE INSTRUMENTS AND PARTICIPATION INTERESTS

Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may purchase variable rate instruments and
participation interests. Variable rate instruments that the Portfolio may
purchase are tax-exempt Municipal Obligations (including municipal notes and
municipal commercial paper) that provide for a periodic adjustment in the
interest rate paid on the instrument and permit the holder to receive payment
upon a specified number of days' notice of the unpaid principal balance plus
accrued interest either from the issuer or by drawing on a bank letter of
credit, a guarantee or an insurance policy issued with respect to such
instrument or by tendering or "putting" such instrument to a third party.

The variable rate instruments in which Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's
assets may be invested are payable upon a specified period of notice which may
range from one day up to one year. The terms of the instruments provide that
interest rates are adjustable at intervals ranging from daily to up to one
year and the adjustments are based upon the prime rate of a bank or other
appropriate interest rate adjustment index as provided in the respective
instruments. An unrated variable rate instrument may be determined to meet the
Portfolio's high quality criteria if it is backed by a letter of credit or
guarantee or a right to tender or put the instrument to a third party or is
insured by an insurer that meets the high quality criteria for the Portfolio
discussed above or on the basis of a credit evaluation of the underlying
obligor. If the credit of the obligor is of "high quality," no credit support
from a bank or other financial institution will be necessary. Each unrated
variable rate instrument will be evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine
that it continues to meet Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's high quality criteria.

Variable rate instruments in which Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may invest
include participation interests in variable rate, tax-exempt Municipal
Obligations owned by a bank, insurance company or other financial institution
or affiliated organizations. Although the rate of the underlying Municipal
Obligations may be fixed, the terms of the participation interest may result
in the Portfolio receiving a variable rate on its investment. A participation
interest gives Tax Free Reserves Portfolio an undivided interest in the
Municipal Obligation in the proportion that the Portfolio's participation
bears to the total principal amount of the Municipal Obligation and provides
the liquidity feature. Each participation may be backed by an irrevocable
letter of credit or guarantee of, or a right to put to, a bank (which may be
the bank issuing the participation interest, a bank issuing a confirming
letter of credit to that of the issuing bank, or a bank serving as agent of
the issuing bank with respect to the possible repurchase of the participation
interest) or insurance policy of an insurance company that has been determined
by the Adviser to meet the prescribed quality standards of Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio has the right to sell the participation
interest back to the institution or draw on the letter of credit or insurance
after a specified period of notice, for all or any part of the full principal
amount of the Portfolio's participation in the security, plus accrued
interest. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio intends to exercise the liquidity
feature only (1) upon a default under the terms of the bond documents, (2) as
needed to provide liquidity to the Portfolio in order to facilitate
withdrawals from the Portfolio, or (3) to maintain a high quality investment
portfolio. In some cases, this liquidity feature may not be exercisable in the
event of a default on the underlying Municipal Obligations; in these cases,
the underlying Municipal Obligations must meet the Portfolio's high credit
standards at the time of purchase of the participation interest. Issuers of
participation interests will retain a service and letter of credit fee and a
fee for providing the liquidity feature, in an amount equal to the excess of
the interest paid on the instruments over the negotiated yield at which the
participations were purchased on behalf of Tax Free Reserves Portfolio. With
respect to insurance, Tax Free Reserves Portfolio will attempt to have the
issuer of the participation interest bear the cost of the insurance, although
the Portfolio may also purchase insurance, in which case the cost of insurance
will be an expense of the Portfolio. The Adviser has been instructed by the
Trust's Board of Trustees to monitor continually the pricing, quality and
liquidity of the variable rate instruments held by Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio, including the participation interests, on the basis of published
financial information and reports of the rating agencies and other bank
analytical services to which the Portfolio may subscribe. Although
participation interests may be sold, Tax Free Reserves Portfolio intends to
hold them until maturity, except under the circumstances stated above.
Participation interests may include municipal lease obligations. Purchase of a
participation interest may involve the risk that the Portfolio will not be
deemed to be the owner of the underlying Municipal Obligation for purposes of
the ability to claim tax exemption of interest paid on that Municipal
Obligation.

Periods of high inflation and periods of economic slowdown, together with
the fiscal measures adopted to attempt to deal with them, have brought wide
fluctuations in interest rates. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed
income securities generally falls; and vice versa. While this is true for
variable rate instruments generally, the variable rate nature of the
underlying instruments should minimize these changes in value. Accordingly, as
interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation
and the risk of potential capital depreciation is less than would be the case
with a portfolio of fixed interest rate securities. Because the adjustment of
interest rates on the variable rate instruments is made in relation to
movements of various interest rate adjustment indices, the variable rate
instruments are not comparable to long-term fixed rate securities.
Accordingly, interest rates on the variable rate instruments may be higher or
lower than current market rates for fixed rate obligations of comparable
quality with similar maturities.

Because of the variable rate nature of the instruments, when prevailing
interest rates decline Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's yield will decline and
its shareholders will forgo the opportunity for capital appreciation. On the
other hand, during periods when prevailing interest rates increase, Tax Free
Reserves Portfolio's yield will increase and its shareholders will have
reduced risk of capital depreciation.

For purposes of determining whether a variable rate instrument held by Tax
Free Reserves Portfolio matures within 397 days from the date of its
acquisition, the maturity of the instrument will be deemed to be the longer of
(1) the period required before the Portfolio is entitled to receive payment of
the principal amount of the instrument after notice or (2) the period
remaining until the instrument's next interest rate adjustment, except that an
instrument issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency thereof
shall be deemed to have a maturity equal to the period remaining until the
next adjustment of the interest rate. The maturity of a variable rate
instrument will be determined in the same manner for purposes of computing the
Portfolio's dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity.

In view of the "concentration" of Tax Free Reserves Portfolio in bank
participation interests in Municipal Obligations secured by bank letters of
credit or guarantees, an investment in Tax Free Reserves should be made with
an understanding of the characteristics of the banking industry and the risks
which such an investment may entail. Banks are subject to extensive
governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans
and other financial commitments which may be made and interest rates and fees
which may be charged. The profitability of this industry is largely dependent
upon the availability and cost of capital funds for the purpose of financing
lending operations under prevailing money market conditions. Also, general
economic conditions play an important part in the operation of this industry
and exposure to credit losses arising from possible financial difficulties of
borrowers might affect a bank's ability to meet its obligations under a letter
of credit.

"WHEN-ISSUED" SECURITIES

Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may purchase securities on a "when-issued" or
"forward delivery" basis. New issues of certain Municipal Obligations
frequently are offered on a "when-issued" or "forward delivery" basis. The
payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the
Municipal Obligations are each fixed at the time the buyer enters into the
commitment although settlement, i.e., delivery of and payment for the
Municipal Obligations, takes place beyond customary settlement time (but
normally within 45 days after the date of the Portfolio's commitment to
purchase). Although Tax Free Reserves Portfolio will only make commitments to
purchase "when-issued" or "forward delivery" Municipal Obligations with the
intention of actually acquiring them, the Portfolio may sell these securities
before the settlement date if deemed advisable by the Adviser.

Municipal Obligations purchased on a "when-issued" or "forward delivery"
basis and the securities held in Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's portfolio are
subject to changes in value based upon the market's perception of the
creditworthiness of the issuer and changes, real or anticipated, in the level of
interest rates. The value of these Municipal Obligations and securities
generally change in the same way, that is, both experience appreciation when
interest rates decline and depreciation when interest rates rise. Purchasing
Municipal Obligations on a "when-issued" or "forward delivery" basis can involve
a risk that the yields available in the market on the settlement date may
actually be higher or lower than those obtained in the transaction itself. A
segregated account of Tax Free Reserves Portfolio consisting of cash or liquid
debt securities equal to the amount of the "when-issued" or "forward delivery"
commitments will be established at the Portfolio's custodian bank. For the
purpose of determining the adequacy of the securities in the account, the
deposited securities will be valued at market value. If the market value of such
securities declines, additional cash or highly liquid securities will be placed
in the account daily so that the value of the account will equal the amount of
the Portfolio's commitments. On the settlement date of the "when-issued" or
"forward delivery" securities, Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's obligations will be
met from then-available cash flow, sale of securities held in the separate
account, sale of other securities or, although not normally expected, from sale
of the "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities themselves (which may have
a value greater or lesser than the Portfolio's payment obligations). Sale of
securities to meet such obligations may result in the realization of capital
gains or losses, which are not exempt from federal income tax. An increase in
the percentage of the Portfolio's assets committed to the purchase of securities
on a "when-issued" basis may increase the volatility of its net asset value.

STAND-BY COMMITMENTS

When Tax Free Reserves Portfolio purchases Municipal Obligations it may
also acquire stand-by commitments from banks with respect to such Municipal
Obligations. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio also may acquire stand-by commitments
from broker-dealers. Under the stand-by commitment, a bank or broker-dealer
agrees to purchase at the Portfolio's option a specified Municipal Obligation
at a specified price. A stand-by commitment is the equivalent of a "put"
option acquired by Tax Free Reserves Portfolio with respect to a particular
Municipal Obligation held in the Portfolio's portfolio.

The amount payable to Tax Free Reserves Portfolio upon the exercise of a
stand-by commitment normally would be (1) the acquisition cost of the
Municipal Obligation (excluding any accrued interest paid on the acquisition),
less any amortized market premium or plus any amortized market or original
issue discount during the period the Portfolio owned the security, plus (2)
all interest accrued on the security since the last interest payment date
during the period the security was owned by the Portfolio. Absent unusual
circumstances relating to a change in market value, the Portfolio would value
the underlying Municipal Obligation at amortized cost. Accordingly, the amount
payable by a bank or dealer during the time a stand-by commitment is
exercisable would be substantially the same as the market value of the
underlying Municipal Obligation. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio values stand-by
commitments at zero for purposes of computing the value of its net assets.

The stand-by commitments that Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may enter into
are subject to certain risks, which include the ability of the issuer of the
commitment to pay for the securities at the time the commitment is exercised
and the fact that the commitment is not marketable by the Portfolio and the
maturity of the underlying security will generally be different from that of
the commitment.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may invest its assets in instruments subject
to repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are described in more detail
below. (See "Repurchase Agreements.")

TAXABLE SECURITIES

Although Tax Free Reserves Portfolio attempts to invest 100% of its net
assets in tax-exempt Municipal Obligations, the Portfolio may invest up to 20%
of the value of its net assets in securities of the kind described below, the
interest income on which is subject to federal income tax. Circumstances in
which Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may invest in taxable securities include the
following: (a) pending investment in the type of securities described above;
(b) to maintain liquidity for the purpose of meeting anticipated withdrawals;
and (c) when, in the opinion of the Adviser, it is advisable to do so because
of adverse market conditions affecting the market for Municipal Obligations.
The kinds of taxable securities in which Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's assets
may be invested are limited to the following short-term, fixed-income
securities (maturing in 397 days or less from the time of purchase): (1)
obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies, instrumentalities or
authorities; (2) commercial paper rated Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's, A-1+,
A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's or F-1+, F-1 or F-2 by Fitch; (3) certificates
of deposit of U.S. banks with assets of $1 billion or more; and (4) repurchase
agreements with respect to any Municipal Obligations or obligations of the
U.S. government or its agencies, instrumentalities, or authorities. Tax Free
Reserves Portfolio's assets may also be invested in Municipal Obligations
which are subject to an alternative minimum tax.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each of the Funds and Portfolios (other than U.S. Treasury Reserves and U.S.
Treasury Reserves Portfolio, which may not invest in repurchase agreements) may
invest its assets in repurchase agreements only with member banks of the Federal
Reserve System or "primary dealers" (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York) in U.S. government securities. Under the terms of a typical
repurchase agreement, the Fund would acquire an underlying debt instrument for a
relatively short period (usually not more than one week) subject to an
obligation of the seller to repurchase and the Fund to resell the instrument at
a fixed price and time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding
period. This results in a fixed rate of return insulated from market
fluctuations during such period. A repurchase agreement is subject to the risk
that the seller may fail to repurchase the security. Repurchase agreements may
be deemed to be loans under the 1940 Act. All repurchase agreements entered into
by the Funds shall be fully collateralized at all times during the period of the
agreement in that the value of the underlying security shall be at least equal
to the amount of the loan, including the accrued interest thereon, and the Fund
or its custodian or subcustodian shall have control of the collateral, which the
Adviser believes will give it a valid, perfected security interest in the
collateral. Whether a repurchase agreement is the purchase and sale of a
security or a collateralized loan has not been definitively established. This
might become an issue in the event of the bankruptcy of the other party to the
transaction. In the event of default by the seller under a repurchase agreement
construed to be a collateralized loan, the underlying securities are not owned
by the Fund but only constitute collateral for the seller's obligation to pay
the repurchase price. Therefore, a Fund may suffer time delays and incur costs
in connection with the disposition of the collateral. The Adviser believes that
the collateral underlying repurchase agreements may be more susceptible to
claims of the seller's creditors than would be the case with securities owned by
the Funds. Repurchase agreements will give rise to income which will not qualify
as tax-exempt income when distributed by the Funds. A Fund will not invest in a
repurchase agreement maturing in more than seven days if any such investment
together with illiquid securities held by the Fund exceed 10% of the Fund's
total net assets. Repurchase agreements are also subject to the same risks
described herein with respect to stand-by commitments.

LENDING OF SECURITIES

Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements and in order to
generate income, each of the Funds and Portfolios may lend its securities to
broker-dealers and other institutional borrowers. Such loans will usually be
made only to member banks of the U.S. Federal Reserve System and to member
firms of the New York Stock Exchange (and subsidiaries thereof). Loans of
securities would be secured continuously by collateral in cash, cash
equivalents, or U.S. Treasury obligations maintained on a current basis at an
amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The cash
collateral would be invested in high quality short-term instruments. Either
party has the right to terminate a loan at any time on customary industry
settlement notice (which will not usually exceed three business days). During
the existence of a loan, a Fund or Portfolio would continue to receive the
equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities
loaned and with respect to cash collateral would also receive compensation
based on investment of the collateral (subject to a rebate payable to the
borrower). Where the borrower provides a Fund or Portfolio with collateral
consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations, the borrower is also obligated to pay
the Fund or Portfolio a fee for use of the borrowed securities. The Fund or
Portfolio would not, however, have the right to vote any securities having
voting rights during the existence of the loan, but would call the loan in
anticipation of an important vote to be taken among holders of the securities
or of the giving or withholding of their consent on a material matter
affecting the investment. As with other extensions of credit, there are risks
of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the
borrower fail financially. However, the loans would be made only to entities
deemed by the Adviser to be of good standing, and when, in the judgment of the
Adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from loans of this
type justifies the attendant risk. In addition, a Fund or Portfolio could
suffer loss if the borrower terminates the loan and the Fund or Portfolio is
forced to liquidate investments in order to return the cash collateral to the
buyer. If the Adviser determines to make loans, it is not intended that the
value of the securities loaned by a Fund or Portfolio would exceed 33 1/3% of
the value of its net assets.

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS AND ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS

Each Fund and Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets in
securities for which there is no readily available market. These illiquid
securities may include privately placed restricted securities for which no
institutional market exists. The absence of a trading market can make it
difficult to ascertain a market value for illiquid investments. Disposing of
illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal
expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund or Portfolio to
sell them promptly at an acceptable price.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Portfolios have each adopted
the following policies which may not be changed without approval by holders of
a "majority of the outstanding shares" of the applicable Fund or Portfolio,
which as used in this Statement of Additional Information means the vote of
the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund
or Portfolio present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding "voting securities" of the Fund or Portfolio are present or
represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding "voting
securities" of the Fund or the Portfolio. The term "voting securities" as used
in this paragraph has the same meaning as in the 1940 Act.

Whenever the Trust is requested to vote on a change in the investment
restrictions or fundamental policies of a Portfolio in which a Fund invests,
the Trust will hold a meeting of the corresponding Fund's shareholders and
will cast its vote as instructed by the shareholders. Each Fund will vote the
shares held by its shareholders who do not give voting instructions in the
same proportion as the shares of that Fund's shareholders who do give voting
instructions. Shareholders of the Funds who do not vote will have no effect on
the outcome of these matters.

Neither the Trust, on behalf of a Fund, nor a Portfolio may:

(1) borrow money, except that as a temporary measure for extraordinary
or emergency purposes either the Trust or the Portfolio may borrow from
banks in an amount not to exceed 1/3 of the value of the net assets
of the Fund or the Portfolio, respectively, including the amount borrowed
(moreover, neither the Trust (on behalf of the Fund) nor the Portfolio may
purchase any securities at any time at which borrowings exceed 5% of the
total assets of the Fund or the Portfolio, respectively (taken in each
case at market value)) (it is intended that the Fund and the Portfolio
would borrow money only from banks and only to accommodate requests for
the repurchase of shares of the Fund or the withdrawal of all or a portion
of a beneficial interest in the Portfolio while effecting an orderly
liquidation of securities);

(2) purchase any security or evidence of interest therein on margin,
except that either the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, or the Portfolio may
obtain such short term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of
purchases and sales of securities;

(3) underwrite securities issued by other persons, except that all the
assets of the Fund may be invested in the Portfolio and except insofar as
either the Trust or the Portfolio may technically be deemed an underwriter
under the Securities Act of 1933 in selling a security;

(4) make loans to other persons except (a) through the lending of
securities held by either the Fund or the Portfolio, but not in excess of
33(1)/3% of the Fund's or the Portfolio's net assets, as the case may
be, (b) through the use of repurchase agreements (or, in the case of
Liquid Reserves, Cash Reserves Portfolio and Tax Free Reserves Portfolio,
fixed time deposits) or the purchase of short term obligations, or (c) by
purchasing all or a portion of an issue of debt securities of types
commonly distributed privately to financial institutions; for purposes of
this paragraph 4 the purchase of a portion of an issue of debt securities
which is part of an issue to the public (and in the case of Tax Free
Reserves, Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, Liquid Reserves and Cash Reserves
Portfolio, short term commercial paper) shall not be considered the making
of a loan;

(5) purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership
interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests
therein), interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or
commodity contracts in the ordinary course of business (the Trust on
behalf of each Fund and the Portfolio reserve the freedom of action to
hold and to sell real estate acquired as a result of the ownership of
securities by the Fund or the Portfolio);

(6) in the case of Liquid Reserves, purchase securities of any one
issuer (other than obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities, which may be purchased without limitation) if
immediately after such purchase more than 5% of the value of its assets
would be invested in the securities of such issuer (provided, however,
that the Trust may invest, on behalf of Liquid Reserves, all of its assets
in a diversified, open-end management investment company with
substantially the same investment objectives, policies and restrictions as
the Fund);

(7) in the case of U.S. Treasury Reserves and U.S. Treasury Reserves
Portfolio, concentrate its investment in any particular industry; provided
that nothing in this Investment Restriction is intended to affect the
ability to invest 100% of U.S. Treasury Reserves' assets in U.S. Treasury
Reserves Portfolio;

(8) in the case of Tax Free Reserves, Tax Free Reserves Portfolio,
Liquid Reserves and Cash Reserves Portfolio, concentrate its investments
in any particular industry, but, if it is deemed appropriate for the
achievement of its investment objective, up to 25% of the assets of Tax
Free Reserves, Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, Liquid Reserves or Cash
Reserves Portfolio, respectively (taken at market value at the time of
each investment) may be invested in any one industry, except that each of
Tax Free Reserves Portfolio and Cash Reserves Portfolio will invest at
least 25% of its assets and may invest up to 100% of its assets in bank
obligations; provided that, if the Trust withdraws the investment of Tax
Free Reserves from Tax Free Reserves Portfolio or Liquid Reserves from
Cash Reserves Portfolio, the Trust will invest the assets of the
applicable Fund in bank obligations to the same extent and with the same
reservation as its corresponding Portfolio; and provided, further that
nothing in this Investment Restriction is intended to affect Tax Free
Reserves' ability to invest 100% of its assets in Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio or Liquid Reserves' ability to invest 100% of its assets in Cash
Reserves Portfolio; or

(9) issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) if such issuance is specifically prohibited by the 1940 Act or the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, except as appropriate to
evidence a debt incurred without violating Investment Restriction (1)
above.

For purposes of Investment Restriction (8) above, "bank obligations," when
used with respect to Tax Free Reserves and Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, shall
include bank participation interests in Municipal Obligations.

DESIGNATION OF ISSUER OF SECURITIES

For purposes of the investment restrictions described above for Tax Free
Reserves and Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, the issuer of a tax-exempt security is
deemed to be the entity (public or private) ultimately responsible for the
payment of principal of and interest on the security. When the assets and
revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision
are separate from those of the government creating the issuing entity and a
security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the entity, the entity
would be deemed to be the sole issuer of the security. Similarly, in the case of
an industrial development bond, if that bond is backed only by the assets and
revenues of the non-governmental user, then such non-governmental user would be
deemed to be the sole issuer. If, however, in either case, the creating
government or some other entity, such as an insurance company or other corporate
obligor, guarantees a security or a bank issues a letter of credit, such a
guarantee or letter of credit may, in accordance with applicable Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, be considered a separate security and could
be treated as an issue of such government, other entity or bank.

PERCENTAGE AND RATING RESTRICTIONS

If a percentage restriction or a rating restriction (other than a
restriction as to borrowing) on investment or utilization of assets set forth
above or referred to in the Prospectuses is adhered to at the time an
investment is made or assets are so utilized, a later change in percentage
resulting from changes in the value of the securities held by a Fund or a
Portfolio or a later change in the rating of a security held by the Fund or
the Portfolio is not considered a violation of policy.

3. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Fund performance may be quoted in advertising, shareholder reports and
other communications in terms of yield, effective yield, tax equivalent yield,
total rate of return or tax equivalent total rate of return. All performance
information is historical and is not intended to indicate future performance.
Yields and total rates of return fluctuate in response to market conditions
and other factors.

From time to time, in reports or other communications to shareholders or
in advertising or sales materials, performance of Fund shares may be compared
with current or historical performance of other mutual funds or classes of
shares of other mutual funds, as listed in the rankings prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. or similar independent services that monitor the
performance of mutual funds, financial indices such as the S&P 500 Index or
other industry or financial publications, including, but not limited to, Bank
Rate Monitor, iMoneyNet's Money Fund Report, Morningstar, Inc. and Thomson
Financial Bank Watch. A Fund may also present statistics on current and
historical rates of Money Market Deposit Accounts and Statement Savings,
Certificates of Deposit (CDs) and other bank or depository products prepared
by outside services such as Bank Rate Monitor, Inc., and compare this
performance to the current or historical performance of the Fund. Any given
"performance" or performance comparison should not be considered as
representative of any performance in the future. In addition, there may be
differences between a Fund and the various indexes and products which may be
compared to the Fund. In particular, mutual funds differ from bank deposits or
other bank products in several respects. For example, a fund may offer greater
liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, but a fund does not guarantee
your principal or your returns, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

Each Fund may provide annualized yield and effective yield quotations. The
yield of a Fund refers to the income generated by an investment in the Fund
over a seven-day period (which period is stated in any such advertisement or
communication). This income is then annualized; that is, the amount of income
generated by the investment over that period is assumed to be generated each
week over a 365-day period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. Any
current yield quotation of a Fund which is used in such a manner as to be
subject to the provisions of Rule 482(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, consists of an annualized historical yield, carried at least to the
nearest hundredth of one percent, based on a specific seven calendar day
period and is calculated by dividing the net change in the value of an account
having a balance of one share at the beginning of the period by the value of
the account at the beginning of the period and multiplying the quotient by
3657. For this purpose the net change in account value would reflect the value
of additional shares purchased with dividends declared on the original share
and dividends declared on both the original share and any such additional
shares, but would not reflect any realized gains or losses as a result of a
Fund's investment in a Portfolio or from the sale of securities or any
unrealized appreciation or depreciation on portfolio securities. The effective
yield is calculated similarly, but when annualized the income earned by the
investment during that seven-day period is assumed to be reinvested. The
effective yield is slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding
effect of this assumed reinvestment. Any effective yield quotation of a Fund
so used shall be calculated by compounding the current yield quotation for
such period by multiplying such quotation by 7/365, adding 1 to the product,
raising the sum to a power equal to 3/657, and subtracting 1 from the result.

U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free Reserves may provide tax equivalent
yield quotations. The tax equivalent yield refers to the yield that a fully
taxable money market fund would have to generate in order to produce an
after-tax yield equivalent to that of a Fund. The use of a tax equivalent yield
allows investors to compare the yield of the Fund, the dividends from which may
be exempt from federal or state personal income tax, with yields of funds the
dividends from which are not tax exempt. Any tax equivalent yield quotation of a
Fund is calculated as follows: If the entire current yield quotation for such
period is tax-exempt, the tax equivalent yield will be the current yield
quotation divided by 1 minus a stated income tax rate or rates. If a portion of
the current yield quotation is not tax-exempt, the tax equivalent yield will be
the sum of (a) that portion of the yield which is tax-exempt divided by 1 minus
a stated income tax rate or rates and (b) the portion of the yield which is not
tax-exempt. A Fund also may provide yield, effective yield and tax equivalent
yield quotations for longer periods.

Each Fund may provide its period and average annualized total rates of
return. The total rate of return refers to the change in the value of an
investment in a Fund over a stated period and is compounded to include the
value of any shares purchased with any dividends or capital gains declared
during such period. A total rate of return quotation for a Fund is calculated
for any period by (a) dividing (i) the sum of the net asset value per share on
the last day of the period and the net asset value per share on the last day
of the period of shares purchasable with dividends and capital gains
distributions declared during such period with respect to a share held at the
beginning of such period and with respect to shares purchased with such
dividends and capital gains distributions, by (ii) the public offering price
on the first day of such period, and (b) subtracting 1 from the result. Period
total rate of return may be annualized. An annualized total rate of return
assumes that the period total rate of return is generated over a one-year
period. Any annualized total rate of return quotation is calculated by (x)
adding 1 to the period total rate of return quotation calculated above, (y)
raising such sum to a power which is equal to 365 divided by the number of
days in such period, and (z) subtracting 1 from the result.

U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free Reserves may provide tax equivalent
total rates of return. The tax equivalent total rate of return refers to the
total rate of return that a fully taxable money market fund would have to
generate in order to produce an after-tax total rate of return equivalent to
that of a Fund. The use of a tax equivalent total rate of return allows
investors to compare the total rates of return of a Fund, the dividends from
which may be exempt from federal or state personal income taxes, with the total
rates of return of funds the dividends from which are not tax exempt. Any tax
equivalent total rate of return quotation of a Fund is calculated as follows: If
the entire current total rate of return quotation for such period is tax-exempt,
the tax equivalent total rate of return will be the current total rate of return
quotation divided by 1 minus a stated income tax rate or rates. If a portion of
the current total rate of return quotation is not tax-exempt, the tax equivalent
total rate of return will be the sum of (a) that portion of the total rate of
return which is tax-exempt divided by 1 minus a stated income tax rate or rates
and (b) the portion of the total rate of return which is not tax-exempt.

Set forth below is total rate of return information, assuming that
dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, were reinvested, for each
Fund for the periods indicated. Performance results include any applicable fee
waivers or expense subsidies in place during the time period, which may cause
the results to be more favorable than they would otherwise have been.

</TABLE>

The annualized yields of Class A shares and SVB Liquid Reserves shares of
Liquid Reserves for the seven-day period ended August 31, 2000 were 6.54% and
6.15%, respectively. The effective compound annualized yields of Class A
shares and SVB Liquid Reserves shares of Liquid Reserves for such period were
6.76% and 6.33%, respectively. The annualized yield of U.S. Treasury Reserves
for the seven-day period ended August 31, 2000 was 5.83%. The effective
compound annualized yield of U.S. Treasury Reserves for such period was 6.00%,
and the annualized tax equivalent yield of U.S. Treasury Reserves for such
period was 6.57% (assuming a combined state and local tax rate of 11.307% for
New York City residents). The annualized yield of Tax Free Reserves for the
seven-day period ended August 31, 2000 was 4.05%. The effective compounded
annualized yield of Tax Free Reserves for such period was 4.13%, and the
annualized tax equivalent yield of Tax Free Reserves for such period was 6.71%
(assuming a federal tax bracket of 39.60%).

For advertising and sales purposes, Liquid Reserves will generally use the
performance of Class A shares. All outstanding Liquid Reserves shares were
designated Class A shares on March 31, 2000. If the performance of SVB Liquid
Reserves Shares is used for advertising and sales purposes, performance after
class inception on March 31, 2000 will be actual performance, while
performance prior to that date will be Liquid Reserves Class A performance.
SVB Liquid Reserves Shares' performance generally would have been lower than
Class A performance, had the SVB Liquid Reserves Shares been offered for the
entire period, because the expenses attributable to SVB Liquid Reserves Shares
are higher than the expenses attributable to the Class A shares of Liquid
Reserves.

4. DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value of each share of the Funds is determined for U.S.
Treasury Reserves and Tax Free Reserves and for each class of shares of Liquid
Reserves on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
This determination is normally made once during each such day as of 3:00 p.m.,
Eastern time, for Liquid Reserves and 12:00 noon, Eastern time, for the other
Funds, by dividing the value of each Fund's net assets (i.e., the value of its
assets, including its investment in a Portfolio, less its liabilities,
including expenses payable or accrued) by the number of the Fund's shares
outstanding at the time the determination is made. For Liquid Reserves this
determination will be made with respect to each class of shares of that Fund.
On days when the financial markets in which the Funds invest close early, each
Fund's net asset value is determined as of the close of these markets if such
time is earlier than the time at which the net asset value is normally
calculated. As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, the
Exchange is open for trading every weekday except for the following holidays
(or the days on which they are observed): New Year's Day, Martin Luther King
Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It is anticipated that the net asset
value of each share of each Fund will remain constant at $1.00 and, although
no assurance can be given that they will be able to do so on a continuing
basis, as described below, the Funds and Portfolios employ specific investment
policies and procedures to accomplish this result.

The value of a Portfolio's net assets (i.e., the value of its securities
and other assets less its liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued)
is determined at the same time and on the same days as the net asset value per
share of the corresponding Fund is determined. The net asset value of a Fund's
investment in the corresponding Portfolio is equal to the Fund's pro rata
share of the total investment of the Fund and of other investors in the
Portfolio less the Fund's pro rata share of the Portfolio's liabilities.

The securities held by a Fund or Portfolio are valued at their amortized
cost. Amortized cost valuation involves valuing an instrument at its cost and
thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium. If fluctuating interest rates cause the market value of the
securities held by the Fund or Portfolio to deviate more than 12 of 1% from
their value determined on the basis of amortized cost, the Trust's or
applicable Portfolio's Board of Trustees will consider whether any action
should be initiated, as described in the following paragraph. Although the
amortized cost method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in
periods during which the stated value of an instrument is higher or lower than
the price the Fund or Portfolio would receive if the instrument were sold.

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Trust's and the Portfolios' Boards
of Trustees have established procedures to stabilize the value of the Funds'
and Portfolios' net assets within 12 of 1% of the value determined on the
basis of amortized cost. These procedures include a review of the extent of
any such deviation of net asset value, based on available market rates. Should
that deviation exceed 12 of 1% for a Fund or Portfolio, the Trust's or
applicable Portfolio's Board of Trustees will consider whether any action
should be initiated to eliminate or reduce material dilution or other unfair
results to investors in the Fund or Portfolio. Such action may include
withdrawal in kind, selling securities prior to maturity and utilizing a net
asset value as determined by using available market quotations. The Funds and
Portfolios maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less, do
not purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 397 days or
(in the case of all Funds and Portfolios other than U.S. Treasury Reserves and
U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio which may not invest in repurchase
agreements) subject to a repurchase agreement having a duration of greater
than 397 days, limit their investments, including repurchase agreements, to
those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments that are determined by the Adviser
to present minimal credit risks and comply with certain reporting and
recordkeeping procedures. The Trust and Portfolios also have established
procedures to ensure that securities purchased by the Funds and Portfolios
meet high quality criteria. (See "Investment Objectives, Policies and
Restrictions -- Investment Policies.")

Because of the short-term maturities of the portfolio investments of each
Fund, the Funds do not expect to realize any material long-term capital gains
or losses. Any net realized short-term capital gains will be declared and
distributed to the Funds' shareholders annually after the close of each Fund's
fiscal year. Distributions of short-term capital gains are taxable to
shareholders as described in "Certain Additional Tax Matters." Any realized
short-term capital losses will be offset against short-term capital gains or,
to the extent possible, utilized as capital loss carryover. Each Fund may
distribute short-term capital gains more frequently than annually, reduce
shares to reflect capital losses or make distributions of capital if necessary
in order to maintain the Fund's net asset value of $1.00 per share.

It is expected that each Fund will have a positive net income at the time
of each determination thereof. If for any reason a Fund's net income is a
negative amount, which could occur, for instance, upon default by an issuer of
a portfolio security, the Fund would first offset the negative amount with
respect to each shareholder account from the dividends declared during the
month with respect to those accounts. If and to the extent that negative net
income exceeds declared dividends at the end of the month, the Fund would
reduce the number of outstanding Fund shares by treating each shareholder as
having contributed to the capital of the Fund that number of full and
fractional shares in the shareholder's account which represents the
shareholder's share of the amount of such excess. Each shareholder would be
deemed to have agreed to such contribution in these circumstances by
investment in the Fund.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulations, the Trust and the
Portfolios have each reserved the right to pay the redemption price of shares
of the Funds or beneficial interests in the Portfolios, either totally or
partially, by a distribution in kind of securities (instead of cash). The
securities so distributed would be valued at the same amount as that assigned
to them in calculating the net asset value for the shares or beneficial
interests being sold. If a holder of shares or beneficial interests received a
distribution in kind, such holder could incur brokerage or other charges in
converting the securities to cash.

Shareholders may redeem Fund shares by sending written instructions in
proper form to the Funds' sub-transfer agent or, if they held their shares
through a Service Agent, to the Service Agent. Shareholders are responsible
for ensuring that a request for redemption is in proper form.

Shareholders may redeem or exchange Fund shares by telephone, if their
account applications so permit, by calling the sub-transfer agent, or, if they
are customers of a Service Agent, that Agent. During periods of drastic economic
or market changes or severe weather or other emergencies, shareholders may
experience difficulties implementing a telephone exchange or redemption. In such
an event, another method of instruction, such as a written request sent via an
overnight delivery service, should be considered. The Funds, the sub-transfer
agent and each Service Agent will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that
instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. These procedures may include
recording of the telephone instructions and verification of a caller's identity
by asking for the shareholder's name, address, telephone number, Social Security
number, and account number. If these or other reasonable procedures are not
followed, the Fund, the sub-transfer agent or the Service Agent may be liable
for any losses to a shareholder due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.
Otherwise, the shareholders will bear all risk of loss relating to a redemption
or exchange by telephone.

The Trust and the Portfolios may suspend the right of redemption or
postpone the date of payment for shares of a Fund or beneficial interests in a
Portfolio more than seven days during any period when (a) trading in the
markets the Fund or Portfolio normally utilizes is restricted, or an
emergency, as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC, exists making
disposal of the Fund's or Portfolio's investments or determination of its net
asset value not reasonably practicable; (b) the New York Stock Exchange is
closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); or (c) the SEC has
by order permitted such suspension.

5. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES

As described in the Prospectuses for the Fund, Liquid Reserves offers two
classes of shares - Class A shares and SVB Liquid Reserves Shares.

Each class of shares of Liquid Reserves represents an interest in the same
portfolio of investments. Each class is identical in all respects except that
each class bears its own class expenses, including distribution and service
fees, and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to any
distribution or service plan applicable to its shares. As a result of the
differences in the expenses borne by each class of shares, net income per
share, dividends per share and net asset value per share will vary for each
class of shares. There are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription
rights.

Shareholders of each class will share expenses proportionately for
services that are received equally by all shareholders. A particular class of
shares will bear only those expenses that are directly attributable to that
class, where the type or amount of services received by a class varies from
one class to another. The expenses that may be borne by specific classes of
shares may include (i) transfer agency fees attributable to a specific class
of shares, (ii) printing and postage expenses related to preparing and
distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxy
statements to current shareholders of a specific class of shares, (iii) SEC
and state securities registration fees incurred by a specific class, (iv) the
expense of administrative personnel and services required to support the
shareholders of a specific class of shares, (v) litigation or other legal
expenses relating to a specific class of shares, (vi) accounting expenses
relating to a specific class of shares and (vii) any additional incremental
expenses subsequently identified and determined to be properly allocated to
one or more classes of shares.

CLASS A SHARES OF LIQUID RESERVES

You may purchase Class A shares of Liquid Reserves at a public offering
price equal to the applicable net asset value per share. Class A shares are
also subject to an annual distribution fee of up to 0.10%. See "Distributor."

SVB LIQUID RESERVES SHARES

SVB Liquid Reserves Shares may be purchased by customers of Silicon Valley
Bank at a public offering price equal to the applicable net asset value per
share. SVB Liquid Reserves Shares are also subject to an annual distribution/
service fee of up to 0.60%. See "Distributor."

Each Service Agent has agreed to transmit to its customers who hold SVB
Liquid Reserves Shares appropriate prior written disclosure of any fees that
it may charge them directly. Each Service Agent is responsible for
transmitting promptly orders of its customers. If you hold your shares through
a Service Agent, your Service Agent is the shareholder of record for the SVB
Liquid Reserves Shares you own.

6. MANAGEMENT

As of December 15, 2000, all Trustees and officers as a group owned less
than 1% of each Fund's outstanding shares. As of the same date, more than 95%

Free Reserves were held of record by Citibank or an affiliate, as a Service
Agent of the Funds, for the accounts of their respective clients.

As of December 15, 2000, the following shareholders were known by the
Adviser to own 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of Citi

beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of a Fund's voting
securities may be deemed a "control person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the
Fund.

The Declaration of Trust of each of the Trust and the Portfolios provides
that the Trust or such Portfolio, as the case may be, will indemnify its
Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection
with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with
the Trust or such Portfolio, as the case may be, unless, as to liability to
the Trust or such Portfolio or its respective investors, it is finally
adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their offices, or
unless with respect to any other matter it is finally adjudicated that they
did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that their actions were in
the best interests of the Trust or such Portfolio, as the case may be. In the
case of settlement, such indemnification will not be provided unless it has
been determined by a court or other body approving the settlement or other
disposition, or by a reasonable determination, based upon a review of readily
available facts, by vote of a majority of disinterested Trustees of the Trust
or such Portfolio, or in a written opinion of independent counsel, that such
officers or Trustees have not engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of their duties.

MANAGER

Citibank manages the assets of each Portfolio pursuant to separate
investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements"). Subject to such
policies as the Board of Trustees of a Portfolio may determine, the Adviser
manages the securities of the Portfolio and makes investment decisions for the
Portfolio. The Adviser furnishes at its own expense all services, facilities
and personnel necessary in connection with managing the Portfolios'
investments and effecting securities transactions for each Portfolio. Each of
the Advisory Agreements will continue in effect as long as such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees of the
applicable Portfolio or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the applicable Portfolio, and, in either case, by a majority of
the Trustees of the applicable Portfolio who are not parties to such Advisory
Agreement or interested persons of any party to the Advisory Agreements, at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreement.

Each of the Advisory Agreements provides that the Adviser may render
services to others. Each Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty on
not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice by the applicable
Portfolio when authorized either by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the applicable Portfolio or by a vote of a majority of
the Board of Trustees of the applicable Portfolio, or by the Adviser on not
more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice, and will
automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. Each Advisory
Agreement provides that neither the Adviser nor its personnel shall be liable
for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any
investment or for any act or omission in the execution of security
transactions for the applicable Portfolio, except for willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence or reckless disregard of its or their obligations
and duties under the Advisory Agreement.

For its services under the Advisory Agreements, Citibank receives
investment advisory fees, which are accrued daily and paid monthly, of 0.15%
of Cash Reserves Portfolio's and U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio's average
daily net assets and 0.20% of Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's average daily net
assets, in each case on an annualized basis for the Portfolio's then-current
fiscal year. Citibank has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its
investment advisory fee.

CASH RESERVES PORTFOLIO: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, 1999
and 2000, the fees paid from Cash Reserves Portfolio to Citibank under the
Advisory Agreement, after waivers, were $6,739,206, $9,422,276 and
$11,359,641, respectively.

U.S. TREASURY RESERVES PORTFOLIO: For the fiscal years ended August 31,
1998, 1999 and 2000, the fees paid from U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio to
Citibank under the Advisory Agreement, after waivers, were $578,350, $614,718
and $858,454, respectively.

TAX FREE RESERVES PORTFOLIO: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998,
1999 and 2000, the fees paid to Citibank under the Advisory Agreement, after
waivers, were $659,288, $824,462 and $746,484, respectively.

Citibank and its affiliates may have deposit, loan and other relationships
with the issuers of securities purchased on behalf of the Funds, including
outstanding loans to such issuers which may be repaid in whole or in part with
the proceeds of securities so purchased. The Adviser has informed the Funds
that, in making its investment decisions, it does not obtain or use material
inside information in the possession of any division or department of Citibank
or in the possession of any affiliate of Citibank.

ADMINISTRATORS

Pursuant to Administrative Services Agreements (the "Administrative
Services Agreements"), SSB Citi provides the Trust and the Portfolios, with
general office facilities and supervises the overall administration of the
Trust and the Portfolios, including, among other responsibilities, the
negotiation of contracts and fees with, and the monitoring of performance and
billings of, the independent contractors and agents of the Trust and the
Portfolios; the preparation and filing of all documents required for
compliance by the Trust and the Portfolios with applicable laws and
regulations; and arranging for the maintenance of books and records of the
Trust and the Portfolios. SSB Citi provides persons satisfactory to the Board
of Trustees of the Trust and the Portfolios to serve as Trustees and officers
of the Trust and the Portfolios. Such Trustees and officers may be directors,
officers or employees of SSB Citi or its affiliates.

For these services, SSB Citi receives fees accrued daily and paid monthly
of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of each Fund and 0.05% of the assets
of each Portfolio, in each case on an annualized basis for the Fund's or the
Portfolio's then-current fiscal year. For the period September 1, 2000 through
December 31, 2001, each Fund's Administrator, has agreed to partially waive
its fees payable under the Trust's Administrative Services Agreement with
respect to the Funds such that, after such waiver, its fee will be, on an
annualized basis, equal to 0.10% of the average daily assets of each Fund. In
addition, SSB Citi may voluntarily agree to waive a portion of the fees
payable to it.

LIQUID RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000, the fees paid to CFBDS, Inc., the former administrator, from Liquid
Reserves under a prior Administrative Services Agreement, after waivers, were
$2,731,366, $3,286,986 and $3,379,323, respectively. For the fiscal years
ended August 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the fees payable to Signature Financial
Group (Cayman) Ltd., the former administrator of Cash Reserves Portfolio under
a prior Administrative Services Agreement were voluntarily waived.

U.S. TREASURY RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, 1999
and 2000, the fees paid from U.S. Treasury Reserves to CFBDS, Inc., the former
administrator, under a prior Administrative Services Agreement, after waivers,
were $299,208, $269,434 and $789,249, respectively. For the fiscal years ended
August 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the fees payable to CFBDS, Inc., the former
administrator, under a prior Administrative Services Agreement with U.S.
Treasury Reserves Portfolio were voluntarily waived.

TAX FREE RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000, all fees payable from Tax Free Reserves to CFBDS, Inc., the former
administrator, under a prior Administrative Services Agreement were
voluntarily waived. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1999 and 2000, the
fees paid to CFBDS, Inc., the former administrator, under a prior
Administrative Services Agreement with Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, after
waivers, were $128,688 and $30,594, respectively. For the fiscal year ended
August 31, 1998, all fees payable to CFBDS, Inc., the former administrator,
under a prior Administrative Services Agreement with Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio were voluntarily waived.

The Funds use the name "Citi" by agreement with a Citigroup Inc.
affiliate. If a Citigroup affiliate ceases to serve as Adviser of the Funds,
the Funds will change their respective names so as to delete the word "Citi".

The Administrative Service Agreements with the Trust and the Portfolios
provide that SSB Citi may render administrative services to others. The
Administrative Services Agreements with the Trust and the Portfolios continue
in effect as to a Fund or Portfolio, as applicable, if such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by the Trust's or the applicable
Portfolio's Board of Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the applicable Fund or Portfolio and, in either case, by
a majority of the Trustees of the Trust or Portfolio who are not interested
parties of the Trust, Portfolio or SSB Citi. The Administrative Services
Agreements with the Trust and the Portfolios terminate automatically if they
are assigned and may be terminated as to a Fund or Portfolio by the Trust or
the applicable Portfolio without penalty by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund or Portfolio, as applicable, or by
either party thereto on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written
notice. The Administrative Services Agreements with the Trust and the
Portfolios also provide that neither SSB Citi nor its personnel shall be
liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission
in the administration or management of the Trust or the Portfolios, except for
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
or their duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its or their obligations
and duties under the Administrative Service Agreements.

DISTRIBUTOR

The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Distribution Plan") with
respect to U.S. Treasury Reserves, Tax Free Reserves and the Class A shares of
Liquid Reserves, and a Service Plan ("Service Plan") with respect to the SVB
Liquid Reserves Shares of Liquid Reserves in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act after having concluded that there is a reasonable likelihood that
the Distribution Plan or Service Plan, as applicable, will benefit the Funds
and their shareholders. The Distribution Plan provides that the Distributor
receives a fee from each of U.S. Treasury Reserves, Tax Free Reserves and the
Class A shares of Liquid Reserves at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of the
average daily net assets of the respective Fund or class, as applicable. The
Service Plan provides that the Distributor receives a fee from the SVB Liquid
Reserves Shares at an annual rate not to exceed 0.60% of the average daily net
assets applicable to that class.

The Distribution Plan and Service Plan continue in effect if such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a
majority of the Trust's Trustees and a majority of the Trust's Trustees who
are not "interested persons" of the Trust (as defined in the 1940 Act) and who
have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or
in any agreement related to such Plan ("Qualified Trustees"). The Distribution
Plan and Service Plan require that at least quarterly the Trust and the
Distributor provide to the Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees review
a written report of the amounts expended (and the purposes therefor) under the
Plan. The Distribution and Service Plans further provide that the selection
and nomination of the Trust's Qualified Trustees is committed to the
discretion of the Qualified Trustees then in office who are not interested
Trustees of the Trust. The Distribution Plan and Service Plan may be
terminated with respect to the applicable Fund at any time by a vote of a
majority of the Trust's Qualified Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of that Fund (or applicable class with respect
to Liquid Reserves). The Distribution and Service Plans may not be amended to
increase materially the amount of the Funds' permitted expenses thereunder
without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
applicable Fund (or applicable class with respect to Liquid Reserves) and may
not be materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both
the Trust's Trustees and the Trust's Qualified Trustees. The Distributor will
preserve copies of any plan, agreement or report made pursuant to the
Distribution Plan and Service Plan for a period of not less than six years
from the date of the Plan, and for the first two years the Distributor will
preserve such copies in an easily accessible place.

Salomon Smith Barney, 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013,
serves as the Distributor of each Fund's shares pursuant to separate
Distribution Agreements with the Trust with respect to shares of each Fund
(and of each class with respect to Liquid Reserves) (the "Distribution
Agreements").

Each Distribution Agreement is terminable with or without cause, without
penalty, on 60 days' notice by the Board of Trustees of the Trust or by vote
of holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities (or the
outstanding voting securities of the applicable class with respect to Liquid
Reserves), or on 90 days' notice by Salomon Smith Barney. Unless otherwise
terminated, each Distribution Agreement shall continue for successive annual
periods so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually
by (a) the Trust's Board of Trustees, or (b) by vote of a majority (as defined
in the 1940 Act) of the Fund's outstanding voting securities (or the
outstanding voting securities of the applicable class with respect to Liquid
Reserves), provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a
majority of the Board members of the Trust who are not interested persons (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Distribution Agreement, by vote
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
Each Distribution Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.

During the period they are in effect, the Distribution Plan, Service Plan
and Distribution Agreements obligate the applicable Funds to pay distribution
fees to the Distributor as compensation for its distribution activities, not
as reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if the
Distributor's expenses exceed its distribution fees for any Fund, the Fund
will not be obligated to pay more than those fees and, if the Distributor's
expenses are less than such fees, it will retain its full fees and realize a
profit. Each Fund will pay the distribution fees to the Distributor until the
applicable Plan or Distribution Agreement is terminated or not renewed. In
that event, the Distributor's expenses in excess of distribution fees received
or accrued through the termination date will be the Distributor's sole
responsibility and not obligations of the Fund. For the period September 1,
2000 through December 31, 2001, Salomon Smith Barney has agreed to waive all
fees payable to it under the Distribution Agreement with respect to U.S.
Treasury Reserves, Tax Free Reserves and the Class A shares of Liquid
Reserves.

Fees paid under the Service Plan with respect to SVB Liquid Reserves
Shares may be used to make payments to the Distributor for distribution
services, to securities dealers and other industry professionals (called
Service Agents) that have entered into service agreements with the Distributor
and others in respect of the sale of SVB Liquid Reserves Shares, and to other
parties in respect of the sale of SVB Liquid Reserves Shares, and to make
payments for advertising, marketing or other promotional activity, and
payments for preparation, printing, and distribution of prospectuses,
statements of additional information and reports for recipients other than
regulators and existing shareholders. The SVB Liquid Reserves Shares also may
make payments to the Distributor, Service Agents and others for providing
personal service or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The amounts paid
by the Distributor to each recipient may vary based upon certain factors,
including, among other things, the levels of sales of SVB Liquid Reserves
Shares and/or shareholder services provided.

LIQUID RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000, all fees payable from the Class A shares of Liquid Reserves to CFBDS,
Inc., the former distributor, under a prior Distribution Agreement were
voluntarily waived. For the period from April 21, 2000 (commencement of
operations) to August 31, 2000, the SVB Liquid Reserves shares paid $43,569 to
CFBDS, Inc., the former distributor, under a prior Distribution Agreement
after waivers.

U.S. TREASURY RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, 1999
and 2000, all fees payable from U.S. Treasury Reserves to CFBDS, Inc., the
former distributor, under a prior Distribution Agreement were voluntarily
waived.

TAX FREE RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000 the fees payable from Tax Free Reserves to CFBDS, Inc., the former
distributor, under a prior Distribution Agreement were voluntarily waived.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Trust, the Portfolios, the Adviser and the Distributor each have
adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. Each code of ethics permits personnel subject to such
code to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or
held by a Fund. However, the codes of ethics contain provisions and
requirements designed to identify and address certain conflicts of interest
between personal investment activities and the interests of the Funds. Of
course, there can be no assurance that the codes of ethics will be effective
in identifying and addressing all conflicts of interest relating to personal
securities transactions.

SERVICE AGENTS, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN

The Trust has adopted an Administrative Services Plan (the "Administrative
Plan") relating to U.S. Treasury Reserves, Tax Free Reserves and the Class A
shares of Liquid Reserves, which provides that the Trust may obtain the
services of an administrator, a transfer agent, a custodian and one or more
shareholder servicing agents ("Service Agents"), and may enter into agreements
providing for the payment of fees for such services. Under the Administrative
Plan, the aggregate of the fee paid to the Administrator from each Fund and
the fees paid to the Service Agents from each Fund may not exceed 0.45% of the
applicable Fund's average daily net assets on an annualized basis for the
Fund's then-current fiscal year. The Administrative Plan continues in effect
if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote of
both a majority of the Trust's Trustees and a majority of the Trust's Trustees
who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and who have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the operation of the Administrative Plan or in
any agreement related to such Plan ("Qualified Trustees"). The Administrative
Plan requires that the Trust provide to the Trust's Board of Trustees and the
Trust's Board of Trustees review, at least quarterly, a written report of the
amounts expended (and the purposes therefor) under the Administrative Plan.
The Administrative Plan may be terminated at any time with respect to a Fund
by a vote of a majority of the Trust's Qualified Trustees or by a vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund (or Class A shares,
in the case of Liquid Reserves). The Administrative Plan may not be amended to
increase materially the amount of permitted expenses thereunder without the
approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund (or
Class A shares, in the case of Liquid Reserves) and may not be materially
amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both the Trust's
Trustees and the Trust's Qualified Trustees.

The Trust has entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (a "Servicing
Agreement") with each Service Agent pursuant to which that Service Agent
provides shareholder services, including answering customer inquiries,
assisting in processing purchase, exchange and redemption transactions and
furnishing Fund communications to shareholders. For services provided under
each Servicing Agreement, each Service Agent receives fees from each of U.S.
Treasury Reserves, Tax Free Reserves and the Class A shares of Liquid Reserves
at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (or
attributable to Class A shares, in the case of Liquid Reserves) represented by
shares owned by investors for whom such Service Agent maintains a servicing
relationship. Some Service Agents may impose certain conditions on their
customers in addition to or different from those imposed by the Funds, such as
requiring a minimum initial investment or charging their customers a direct
fee for their services. Each Service Agent has agreed to transmit to its
customers who are shareholders of a Fund appropriate prior written disclosure
of any fees that it may charge them directly and to provide written notice at
least 30 days prior to imposition of any transaction fees. For the fiscal
years ended August 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the aggregate fees payable from
Liquid Reserves to Service Agents under the Servicing Agreement were
voluntarily waived. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000,
the aggregate fees payable from U.S. Treasury Reserves to Service Agents under
the Servicing Agreements were voluntarily waived. For the fiscal years ended
August 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, all aggregate fees payable from Tax Free
Reserves to Service Agents under the Servicing Agreement were voluntarily
waived. For the period September 1, 2000 through December 31, 2001, each of
the Fund's shareholder service agents have agreed to waive all fees payable
under the Servicing Agreements with respect to the Funds.

The Trust and each Portfolio has entered into a Transfer Agency and
Service Agreement with Citi Fiduciary Trust Company ("Citi Fiduciary")
pursuant to which Citi Fiduciary acts as transfer agent for each Fund and
Portfolio. Under the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement, Citi Fiduciary
maintains the shareholder account records for the Funds and Portfolios,
handles certain communications between shareholders and the Funds and
Portfolios and distributes dividends and distributions payable by the Funds
and Portfolios. For these services, Citi Fiduciary receives a monthly fee
computed on the basis of the number of shareholder accounts it maintains for a
Fund or Portfolio during the month and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket
expenses. The principal business address of Citi Fiduciary is 125 Broad
Street, New York, New York 10004.

The Trust and each Portfolio has entered into a Transfer Agency and Service
Agreement and a Custodian Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company
("State Street") pursuant to which State Street (or its affiliate State Street
Canada, Inc.) acts as sub-transfer agent and custodian and performs fund
accounting services. State Street (or its affiliate State Street Canada, Inc.)
calculates the daily net asset value for the Funds and the Portfolios.
Securities held for a Fund or Portfolio may be held by a sub-custodian bank
approved by the Trust's or Portfolio's Trustees.

The Portfolios have also adopted Administrative Services Plans (the
"Portfolio Administrative Plans") which provide that the Portfolios may obtain
the services of an administrator, a transfer agent and a custodian, and may
enter into agreements providing for the payment of fees for such services.
Under the Portfolio Administrative Plans, the administrative services fee
payable to SSB Citi, may not exceed 0.05% of a Portfolio's average daily net
assets on an annualized basis for its then-current fiscal year. Each Portfolio
Administrative Plan continues in effect if such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the applicable
Portfolio's Trustees and a majority of the Portfolio's Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Portfolio and who have no direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of the Portfolio Administrative Plan or in
any agreement related to such Plan ("Qualified Trustees"). Each Portfolio
Administrative Plan requires that the applicable Portfolio provide to its
Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees review, at least quarterly, a
written report of the amounts expended (and the purposes therefor) under the
Portfolio Administrative Plan. Each Portfolio Administrative Plan may be
terminated at any time by a vote of a majority of the Portfolio's Qualified
Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the applicable Portfolio. Neither Portfolio Administrative Plan may be amended
to increase materially the amount of permitted expenses thereunder without the
approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable
Portfolio and may not be materially amended in any case without a vote of the
majority of both the Portfolio's Trustees and the Portfolio's Qualified
Trustees.

7. DEALER COMMISSIONS AND CONCESSIONS

From time to time, the Funds' Distributor or the Adviser, at its expense,
may provide additional commissions, compensation or promotional incentives
("concessions") to dealers that sell or arrange for the sale of shares of the
Funds. Such concessions provided by the Funds' Distributor or the Adviser may
include financial assistance to dealers in connection with preapproved
conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered
representatives and other employees, payment for travel expenses, including
lodging, incurred by registered representatives and other employees for such
seminars or training programs, seminars for the public, advertising and sales
campaigns regarding one or more Funds, and/or other dealer-sponsored events.
From time to time, the Funds' Distributor or Adviser may make expense
reimbursements for special training of a dealer's registered representatives
and other employees in group meetings or to help pay the expenses of sales
contests. Other concessions may be offered to the extent not prohibited by
state laws or any self-regulatory agency, such as the NASD.

8. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Portfolios' purchases and sales of portfolio securities usually are
principal transactions. Portfolio securities are normally purchased directly
from the issuer or from an underwriter or market maker for the securities.
There usually are no brokerage commissions paid for such purchases. The
Portfolios do not anticipate paying brokerage commissions. Any transaction for
which a Portfolio pays a brokerage commission will be effected at the best
price and execution available. Purchases from underwriters of portfolio
securities include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the
underwriter, and purchases from dealers serving as market makers include the
spread between the bid and asked price.

Allocation of transactions, including their frequency, to various dealers
is determined by the Adviser in its best judgment and in a manner deemed to be
in the best interest of investors in the applicable Portfolio rather than by
any formula. The primary consideration is prompt execution of orders in an
effective manner at the most favorable price.

Investment decisions for each Portfolio will be made independently from
those for any other account, series or investment company that is or may in
the future become managed by the Adviser or its affiliates. If, however, a
Portfolio and other investment companies, series or accounts managed by the
Adviser are contemporaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same
security, the transactions may be averaged as to price and allocated equitably
to each account. In some cases, this policy might adversely affect the price
paid or received by the Portfolio or the size of the position obtainable for
the Portfolio. In addition, when purchases or sales of the same security for a
Fund, Portfolio and for other investment companies or series managed by the
Adviser occur contemporaneously, the purchase or sale orders may be aggregated
in order to obtain any price advantages available to large denomination
purchases or sales.

Portfolio transactions may be executed with the Adviser, or with any
affiliate of the Adviser, acting either as principal or as broker, subject to
applicable law. No commissions on portfolio transactions were paid by any
Portfolio during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000 to the Adviser or any
affiliate of the Adviser.

9. DESCRIPTION OF SHARES, VOTING RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

The Trust's Declaration of Trust permits the Trust's Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
($0.00001 par value) of each series and to divide or combine the shares of any
series into a greater or lesser number of shares of that series without
thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests in that series and to
divide such series into classes. In addition to the Funds, there is currently
one other series of the Trust, Citi Institutional Cash Reserves. Each share of
each class represents an equal proportionate interest in a Fund with each
other share of that class. Upon liquidation or dissolution of a Fund, the
Fund's shareholders are entitled to share pro rata in the Fund's net assets
available for distribution to its shareholders. The Trust reserves the right
to create and issue additional series or classes of shares. Shares of each
series participate equally in the earnings, dividends and distribution of net
assets of the particular series upon the liquidation or dissolution of the
series (except for any differences between classes of shares of a series).
Shares of each series are entitled to vote separately to approve advisory
agreements or changes in investment policy, but shares of all series may vote
together in the election or selection of Trustees and accountants for the
Trust. In matters affecting only a particular series or class, only shares of
that series or class are entitled to vote.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held on matters on
which they are entitled to vote. Shareholders in the Trust do not have
cumulative voting rights, and shareholders owning more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of the Trust may elect all of the Trustees of the Trust if
they choose to do so and in such event the other shareholders in the Trust
would not be able to elect any Trustee. The Trust is not required and has no
present intention of holding annual meetings of shareholders but the Trust
will hold special meetings of a Fund's shareholders when in the judgment of
the Trust's Trustees it is necessary or desirable to submit matters for a
shareholder vote. Shareholders have under certain circumstances (e.g., upon
application and submission of certain specified documents to the Trustees by a
specified number of shareholders) the right to communicate with other
shareholders in connection with requesting a meeting of shareholders for the
purpose of removing one or more Trustees. Shareholders also have the right to
remove one or more Trustees without a meeting by a declaration in writing by a
specified number of shareholders. No material amendment may be made to the
Trust's Declaration of Trust without the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of its outstanding shares.

The Trust's Declaration of Trust provides that, at any meeting of
shareholders of the Trust or of any series of the Trust, a Service Agent, may
vote any shares of which it is the holder of record and for which it does not
receive voting instructions proportionately in accordance with the
instructions it receives for all other shares of which it is the holder of
record. Shares have no preference, pre-emptive, conversion or similar rights.
Shares, when issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, except as set forth
below.

The Trust may enter into a merger or consolidation, or sell all or
substantially all of its assets (or all or substantially all of the assets
belonging to any series of the Trust), if approved by the vote of the holders
of two-thirds of the Trust's outstanding shares voting as a single class, or
of the affected series of the Trust, as the case may be, except that if the
Trustees of the Trust recommend such sale of assets, merger or consolidation,
the approval by vote of the holders of a majority of the Trust's or the
affected series' outstanding shares would be sufficient. The Trust or any
series of the Trust, as the case may be, may be terminated (i) by a vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust or the affected
series or (ii) by the Trustees by written notice to the shareholders of the
Trust or the affected series. If not so terminated, the Trust will continue
indefinitely.

Share certificates will not be issued.

The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a business
trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners
for its obligations and liabilities. However, the Declaration of Trust
contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or
obligations of the Trust and provides for indemnification and reimbursement of
expenses out of Trust property for any shareholder held personally liable for
the obligations of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust also provides that the
Trust may maintain appropriate insurance (e.g., fidelity bonding and errors
and omissions insurance) for the protection of the Trust, its shareholders,
Trustees, officers, employees and agents covering possible tort and other
liabilities. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on
account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which both
inadequate insurance existed and the Trust itself was unable to meet its
obligations.

The Trust's Declaration of Trust further provides that obligations of the
Trust are not binding upon the Trustees individually but only upon the
property of the Trust and that the Trustees will not be liable for any action
or failure to act, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee
against any liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Each Portfolio is organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New
York. Each Portfolio's Declaration of Trust provides that investors in the
Portfolio (e.g., other investment companies (including the corresponding
Fund), insurance company separate accounts and common and commingled trust
funds) are each liable for all obligations of the Portfolio. However, the risk
of a Fund incurring financial loss on account of such liability is limited to
circumstances in which both inadequate insurance existed and the applicable
Portfolio itself was unable to meet its obligations. It is not expected that
the liabilities of any Portfolio would ever exceed its assets.

Each investor in a Portfolio, including the corresponding Fund, may add to
or reduce its investment in the Portfolio on each business day. At 12:00 noon,
Eastern time, in the case of Tax Free Reserves Portfolio and U.S. Treasury
Reserves Portfolio, and 3:00 p.m., Eastern time, in the case of Cash Reserves
Portfolio, on each such business day, the value of each investor's interest in
the Portfolio is determined by multiplying the net asset value of the
Portfolio by the percentage representing that investor's share of the
aggregate beneficial interests in the Portfolio effective for that day. Any
additions or withdrawals, which are to be effected on that day, are then
effected. The investor's percentage of the aggregate beneficial interests in
the Portfolio is then re-computed as the percentage equal to the fraction (i)
the numerator of which is the value of such investor's investment in the
Portfolio as of 12:00 noon, Eastern time, for Tax Free Reserves Portfolio and
U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio, and 3:00 p.m., Eastern time, for Cash
Reserves Portfolio, on such day plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount
of any additions to or withdrawals from the investor's investment in the
Portfolio effected on such day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the
aggregate net asset value of the Portfolio as of 12:00 noon, Eastern time, for
Tax Free Reserves Portfolio and U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio, and 3:00
p.m., Eastern time, for Cash Reserves Portfolio, on such day plus or minus, as
the case may be, the amount of the net additions to or withdrawals from the
aggregate investments in the Portfolio by all investors in the Portfolio. The
percentage so determined is then applied to determine the value of the
investor's interest in the Portfolio as of 12:00 noon, Eastern time, for Tax
Free Reserves Portfolio and U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio, and 3:00 p.m.,
Eastern time, for Cash Reserves Portfolio, on the following business day of
the Portfolio.

10. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TAX MATTERS

Each of the Funds has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each
year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), by meeting all applicable
requirements of Subchapter M, including requirements as to the nature of the
Fund's gross income, the amount of Fund distributions, and the composition of
the Fund's portfolio assets. Provided all such requirements are met and all of
a Fund's net investment income and realized capital gains are distributed to
shareholders in accordance with the timing requirements imposed by the Code,
no federal income or excise taxes will be required to be paid by the Fund. If
a Fund should fail to qualify as a regulated investment company for any year,
the Fund would incur a regular corporate federal and state income tax upon its
taxable income and Fund distributions would generally be taxable as ordinary
dividend income to shareholders. Each of the Portfolios believes that it will
not be required to pay any federal and state income or excise taxes.

The portion of Tax Free Reserves' distributions of net investment income
that is attributable to interest from tax-exempt securities will be designated
by the Fund as an "exempt-interest dividend" under the Code and will generally
be exempt from federal income tax in the hands of shareholders so long as at
least 50% of the total value of the Fund's assets consists of tax-exempt
securities at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year.
Distributions of tax-exempt interest earned from certain securities may,
however, be treated as an item of tax preference for shareholders under the
federal alternative minimum tax, and all exempt-interest dividends may
increase a corporate shareholder's alternative minimum tax. Unless the Fund
provides shareholders with actual monthly percentage breakdowns, the
percentage of income designated as tax-exempt will be applied uniformly to all
distributions by the Fund of net investment income made during each fiscal
year of the Fund and may differ from the percentage of distributions
consisting of tax-exempt interest in any particular month. Shareholders are
required to report exempt-interest dividends received from the Fund on their
federal income tax returns.

Investment income received by Liquid Reserves from non-U.S. investments
may be subject to foreign income taxes withheld at the source; Liquid Reserves
does not expect to be able to pass through to shareholders any foreign tax
credits or deductions with respect to those foreign taxes. The United States
has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries that may entitle
Liquid Reserves to a reduced rate of tax or an exemption from tax on these
investments. It is not possible to determine Liquid Reserves' effective rate
of foreign tax in advance since that rate depends upon the proportion of the
Cash Reserves Portfolio's assets ultimately invested within various countries.

Because each Fund expects to earn primarily interest income, it is
expected that no Fund distributions will qualify for the dividends received
deduction for corporations.

APPENDIX

RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS*

The ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings
Group and Fitch IBCA, Inc. represent their opinions as to the quality of
various debt obligations. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are
not absolute standards of quality. Consequently, Municipal Obligations with
the same maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields while Municipal
Obligations of the same maturity and coupon with different ratings may have
the same yield.

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC'S TWO HIGHEST LONG-TERM DEBT
RATINGS:

Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and generally are 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
the Aaa securities.

Note: Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in the generic
rating classification Aa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks
in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a
mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of
that generic rating category.

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S TWO HIGHEST RATINGS OF STATE
AND MUNICIPAL NOTES:

Moody's ratings for state and municipal short-term obligations are
designated Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG"). Issues or the features associated
with MIG or VMIG ratings are identified by date of issue, date of maturity or
maturities or rating expiration date and description to distinguish each
rating from other ratings. Each rating designation is unique with no
implication as to any other similar issue of the same obligor. MIG ratings
terminate at the retirement of the obligation while VMIG rating expiration
will be a function of each issue's specific structural or credit features.

MIG 1/VMIG 1 -- This designation denotes best quality. There is present
strong protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or
demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2/VMIG 2 -- This designation denotes high quality. Margins of
protection are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S TWO HIGHEST SHORT-TERM DEBT
RATINGS:

Moody's short-term debt ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to
repay punctually senior debt obligations. These obligations have an original
maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability
for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability
will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics: (1) leading
market positions in well established industries; (2) high rates of return on
funds employed; (3) conservative capitalization structure with moderate
reliance on debt and ample asset protection; (4) broad margins in earnings
coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation; and (5)
well established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of
alternate liquidity.

------------
*As described by the rating agencies. Ratings are generally given to
securities at the time of issuance. While the rating agencies may from time
to time revise such ratings, they undertake no obligation to do so.

Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability
for repayment of senior short-term debt 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, may be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be
more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S TWO HIGHEST LONG-TERM DEBT
RATINGS:

AAA -- An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard
& Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the
obligation is extremely strong.

AA -- An obligation rated AA differs from the highest-rated obligations
only in small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial obligations
is very strong.

Plus (+) or Minus (-): The AA rating may be modified by the addition of a
plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the AA rating category.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S TWO HIGHEST RATINGS OF STATE
AND MUNICIPAL NOTES:

A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market
access risks unique to notes. Notes maturing in three years or less will
likely receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most
likely receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in
making that assessment:

-- Amortization schedule -- the larger the final maturity relative to
other maturities, the more likely the issue is to be treated as a note.

-- Source of payment -- the more dependent the issue is on the market for
its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.

Note rating symbols and definitions are as follows:

SP-1 -- Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Issues determined
to possess very strong characteristics are given a plus (+) designation.

SP-2 -- Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some
vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the
notes.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S TWO HIGHEST COMMERCIAL PAPER
RATINGS:

A Standard & Poor's commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the
likelihood of timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more
than 365 days.

A-1 -- A short-term obligation rated A-1 is rated in the highest category
by Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment
on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2 -- A short-term obligation rated A-2 is somewhat more susceptible to
the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S RATINGS OF TAX-EXEMPT DEMAND
BONDS:

Standard & Poor's assigns "dual" ratings to all debt issues that have a
put option or demand feature as part of their structure.

The first rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and
interest as due, and the second rating addresses only the demand feature. The
long-term debt rating symbols are used for bonds to denote the long-term
maturity and the commercial paper rating symbols for the put option (for
example, "AAA/A-1+"). With short-term demand debt, Standard & Poor's rating
symbols are used with the commercial paper rating symbols (for example,
"SP-1+/A-1+").

DESCRIPTION OF FITCH IBCA, INC.'S TWO HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT
RATINGS:

When assigning ratings, Fitch IBCA considers the historical and
prospective financial condition, quality of management, and the operating
performance of the issuer and of any guarantor, any special features of a
specific issue or guarantee, the issue's relationship to other obligations of
the issuer, as well as developments in the economic and political environment
that might affect the issuer's financial strength and credit quality.

Variable rate demand obligations and other securities which contain a
demand feature will have a dual rating, such as "AAA/F1+". The first rating
denotes long-term ability to make principal and interest payments. The second
rating denotes ability to meet a demand feature in full and on time.

AAA -- Highest credit quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation
of credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA -- Very high credit quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation
of credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable events.

Plus (+) or Minus (-): "+" or "-" may be appended to a rating of "AA" to
denote relative status within the rating category.

DESCRIPTION OF FITCH IBCA, INC.'S TWO HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT
RATINGS:

A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for most
obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities, and thus
places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial
commitments in a timely manner.

F1 -- Highest credit quality. Indicates the strongest capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments; may have an added "+" to denote any
exceptionally strong credit feature.

F2 -- Good Credit Quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case
of the higher ratings.

1. THE FUND

The Fund is a type of mutual fund commonly referred to as a "money market
fund." The net asset value of the Fund's shares is expected to remain constant
at $1.00, although there can be no assurance that this will be so on a
continuing basis. (See "Determination of Net Asset Value.")

Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") is the investment manager and also provides
certain administrative services to the Fund. The investment manager (the
"Manager") manages the investments of the Fund from day to day in accordance
with the Fund's investment objective and policies. The selection of
investments for the Fund, and the way they are managed, depend on the
conditions and trends in the economy and the financial marketplaces.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust provides broad supervision over the
affairs of the Trust. Shares may be purchased from the Fund's distributor,
Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. ("Salomon Smith Barney" or the "Distributor"), or
from financial institutions, such as federal or state-chartered banks, trust
companies, savings and loan associations or savings banks, or broker-dealers
(called "Service Agents"). Shares are sold at net asset value. Although shares
of the Fund are sold without a sales load, Salomon Smith Barney may receive
fees from the Fund pursuant to a Service Plan adopted in accordance with Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

2. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide shareholders with
liquidity and as high a level of current income as is consistent with the
preservation of capital.

The investment objective of the Fund may be changed without approval by
shareholders. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve
its investment objective.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

The Prospectus contains a discussion of the principal investment
strategies of the Fund and certain risks of investing in the Fund. The
following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus concerning
the investment objective, policies and techniques of the Fund, and contains
more information about the various types of securities in which the Fund may
invest and the risks involved in such investments.

Except for the concentration policy with respect to bank obligations
described in paragraph (1) below, which is fundamental and may not be changed
without the approval of the Fund's shareholders, the approval of the Fund's
shareholders would not be required to change any of its investment policies.

The Fund seeks its investment objective through investments limited to the
following types of high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money market
instruments. All investments by the Fund mature or are deemed to mature within
397 days from the date of acquisition, and the average maturity of the
investments held by the Fund (on a dollar-weighted basis) is 90 days or less.
All investments by the Fund are in "first tier" securities (i.e., securities
rated in the highest rating category for short-term obligations by at least
two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (each, an "NRSRO")
assigning a rating to the security or issuer or, if only one NRSRO assigns a
rating, that NRSRO or, in the case of an investment which is not rated, of
comparable quality as determined by the Manager under procedures approved by
the Board of Trustees) and are determined by the Manager under procedures
approved by the Board of Trustees to present minimal credit risks. Investments
in high quality, short term instruments may, in many circumstances, result in
a lower yield than would be available from investments in instruments with a
lower quality or a longer term. The Fund may hold uninvested cash reserves
pending investment. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund is classified as
"diversified." A "diversified investment company" must invest at least 75% of
its assets in cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, investment
company securities and other securities limited as to any one issuer to not
more than 5% of the total assets of the investment company and not more than
10% of the voting securities of the issuer.

(1) Bank obligations -- The Fund invests at least 25% of its
investable assets, and may invest up to 100% of its assets, in bank
obligations. This concentration policy is fundamental and may not be
changed without the approval of the investors in the Fund. Bank
obligations include, but are not limited to, negotiable certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances and fixed time deposits. The Fund limits its
investments in U.S. bank obligations (including their non-U.S. branches)
to banks having total assets in excess of $1 billion and which are subject
to regulation by an agency of the U.S. government. The Fund may also
invest in certificates of deposit issued by banks the deposits in which
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), having
total assets of less than $1 billion, provided that the Fund at no time
owns more than $100,000 principal amount of certificates of deposit (or
any higher principal amount which in the future may be fully insured by
FDIC insurance) of any one of those issuers. Fixed time deposits are
obligations which are payable at a stated maturity date and bear a fixed
rate of interest. Generally, fixed time deposits may be withdrawn on
demand by the Fund, but they may be subject to early withdrawal penalties
which vary depending upon market conditions and the remaining maturity of
the obligation. Although fixed time deposits do not have a market, there
are no contractual restrictions on the Fund's right to transfer a
beneficial interest in the deposit to a third party.

The Fund limits its investments in non-U.S. bank obligations (i.e.,
obligations of non-U.S. branches and subsidiaries of U.S. banks, and U.S.
and non-U.S. branches of non-U.S. banks) to U.S. dollar-denominated
obligations of banks which at the time of investment are branches or
subsidiaries of U.S. banks which meet the criteria in the preceding
paragraphs or are branches of non-U.S. banks which (i) have more than $10
billion, or the equivalent in other currencies, in total assets; (ii) in
terms of assets are among the 75 largest non-U.S. banks in the world;
(iii) have branches or agencies in the United States; and (iv) in the
opinion of the Manager, are of an investment quality comparable with
obligations of U.S. banks which may be purchased by the Fund. These
obligations may be general obligations of the parent bank, in addition to
the issuing branch or subsidiary, but the parent bank's obligations may be
limited by the terms of the specific obligation or by governmental
regulation. The Fund also limits its investments in non-U.S. bank
obligations to banks, branches and subsidiaries located in Western Europe
(United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy,
Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden), Australia, Japan, the Cayman
Islands, the Bahamas and Canada. The Fund does not purchase any bank
obligation of the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager.

Since the Fund may hold obligations of non-U.S. branches and
subsidiaries of U.S. banks, and U.S. and non-U.S. branches of non-U.S.
banks, an investment in the Fund involves certain additional risks. Such
investment risks include future political and economic developments, the
possible imposition of non-U.S. withholding taxes on interest income
payable on such obligations held by the Fund, the possible seizure or
nationalization of non-U.S. deposits and the possible establishment of
exchange controls or other non-U.S. governmental laws or restrictions
applicable to the payment of the principal of and interest on certificates
of deposit or time deposits that might affect adversely such payment on
such obligations held by the Fund. In addition, there may be less
publicly-available information about a non-U.S. branch or subsidiary of a
U.S. bank or a U.S. or non-U.S. branch of a non-U.S. bank than about a
U.S. bank and such branches and subsidiaries may not be subject to the
same or similar regulatory requirements that apply to U.S. banks, such as
mandatory reserve requirements, loan limitations and accounting, auditing
and financial record-keeping standards and requirements.

The provisions of federal law governing the establishment and
operation of U.S. branches do not apply to non-U.S. branches of U.S.
banks. However, the Fund may purchase obligations only of those non-U.S.
branches of U.S. banks which were established with the approval of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board of
Governors"). As a result of such approval, these branches are subject to
examination by the Board of Governors and the Comptroller of the Currency.
In addition, such non-U.S. branches of U.S. banks are subject to the
supervision of the U.S. bank and creditors of the non-U.S. branch are
considered general creditors of the U.S. bank subject to whatever defenses
may be available under the governing non-U.S. law and to the terms of the
specific obligation. Nonetheless, the Fund generally will be subject to
whatever risk may exist that the non-U.S. country may impose restrictions
on payment of certificates of deposit or time deposits.

U.S. branches of non-U.S. banks are subject to the laws of the state
in which the branch is located or to the laws of the United States. Such
branches are therefore subject to many of the regulations, including
reserve requirements, to which U.S. banks are subject. In addition, the
Fund may purchase obligations only of those U.S. branches of non-U.S.
banks which are located in states which impose the additional requirement
that the branch pledge to a designated bank within the state an amount of
its assets equal to 5% of its total liabilities.

Non-U.S. banks in whose obligations the Fund may invest may not be
subject to the laws and regulations referred to in the preceding two
paragraphs.

(2) Obligations of, or guaranteed by, non-U.S. governments. The Fund
limits its investments in non-U.S. government obligations to obligations
issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western Europe (United Kingdom,
France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden), Australia, Japan and Canada. Generally, such obligations
may be subject to the additional risks described in paragraph (1) above in
connection with the purchase of non-U.S. bank obligations.

(3) Commercial paper rated Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("Standard &
Poor's") or, if not rated, determined to be of comparable quality by the
Manager under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, such as
unrated commercial paper issued by corporations having an outstanding
unsecured debt issue currently rated Aaa by Moody's or AAA by Standard &
Poor's. Commercial paper is unsecured debt of corporations usually
maturing in 270 days or less from its date of issuance.

(5) Repurchase agreements, providing for resale within 397 days or
less, covering obligations of, or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities which may have maturities in excess of 397
days. The Fund may invest its assets in repurchase agreements only with
member banks of the Federal Reserve System or "primary dealers" (as
designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. government
securities. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund
would acquire an underlying debt instrument (an obligation of, or
guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities) for
a relatively short period (usually not more than one week) subject to an
obligation of the seller to repurchase and the Fund to resell the
instrument at a fixed price and time, thereby determining the yield during
the Fund's holding period. This results in a fixed rate of return
insulated from market fluctuations during such period. A repurchase
agreement is subject to the risk that the seller may fail to repurchase
the security. Repurchase agreements may be deemed to be loans under the
1940 Act. All repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund shall be
fully collateralized at all times during the period of the agreement in
that the value of the underlying security shall be at least equal to the
amount of the loan, including the accrued interest thereon, and the Fund
or its custodian or subcustodian shall have control of the collateral,
which the Manager believes will give it a valid, perfected security
interest in the collateral. Whether a repurchase agreement is the purchase
and sale of a security or a collateralized loan has not been definitively
established. This might become an issue in the event of the bankruptcy of
the other party to the transaction. In the event of default by the seller
under a repurchase agreement construed to be a collateralized loan, the
underlying securities are not owned by the Fund but only constitute
collateral for the seller's obligation to pay the repurchase price.
Therefore, the Fund may suffer time delays and incur costs in connection
with the disposition of the collateral. The Manager believes that the
collateral underlying repurchase agreements may be more susceptible to
claims of the seller's creditors than would be the case with securities
owned by the Fund. The Fund will not invest in a repurchase agreement
maturing in more than seven days if any such investment together with
illiquid securities held by the Fund exceed 10% of the Fund's total net
assets.

The Fund does not purchase securities which the Fund believes, at the time
of purchase, will be subject to exchange controls or non-U.S. withholding
taxes; however, there can be no assurance that such laws may not become
applicable to certain of the Fund's investments. In the event exchange
controls or non-U.S. withholding taxes are imposed with respect to any of the
Fund's investments, the effect may be to reduce the income received by the
Fund on such investments or to prevent the Fund from receiving any value in
U.S. dollars from its investment in non-U.S. securities.

ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

As set forth above, the Fund may purchase asset-backed securities that
represent fractional interests in pools of retail installment loans, both
secured (such as CARS) and unsecured, or leases or revolving credit
receivables, both secured and unsecured (such as CARDS). These assets are
generally held by a trust and payments of principal and interest or interest
only are passed through monthly or quarterly to certificate holders and may be
guaranteed up to certain amounts by letters of credit issued by a financial
institution affiliated or unaffiliated with the trustee or originator of the
trust.

Underlying automobile sales contracts, leases or credit card receivables
are subject to prepayment, which may reduce the overall return to certificate
holders. Reinvestment of principal may occur at higher or lower rates than the
original yield. Certificate holders may also experience delays in payment on
the certificates if the full amounts due on underlying loans, leases or
receivables are not realized by the Fund because of unanticipated legal or
administrative costs of enforcing the contracts or because of depreciation or
damage to the collateral (usually automobiles) securing certain contracts, or
other factors. If consistent with its investment objectives and policies, the
Fund may invest in other asset-backed securities.

LENDING OF SECURITIES

Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements and in order to
generate income, the Fund may lend its securities to broker-dealers and other
institutional borrowers. Such loans will usually be made only to member banks
of the U.S. Federal Reserve System and to member firms of the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") (and subsidiaries thereof). Loans of securities would be
secured continuously by collateral in cash, cash equivalents, or U.S. Treasury
obligations maintained on a current basis at an amount at least equal to the
market value of the securities loaned. The cash collateral would be invested
in high quality short-term instruments. Either party has the right to
terminate a loan at any time on customary industry settlement notice (which
will not usually exceed three business days). During the existence of a loan,
the Fund would continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends
paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and with respect to cash
collateral would also receive compensation based on investment of the
collateral (subject to a rebate payable to the borrower). Where the borrower
provides the Fund with collateral consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations, the
borrower is also obligated to pay the Fund a fee for use of the borrowed
securities. The Fund would not, however, have the right to vote any securities
having voting rights during the existence of the loan, but would call the loan
in anticipation of an important vote to be taken among holders of the
securities or of the giving or withholding of their consent on a material
matter affecting the investment. As with other extensions of credit, there are
risks of delay in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the
borrower fail financially. However, the loans would be made only to entities
deemed by the Manager to be of good standing, and when, in the judgment of the
Manager, the consideration which can be earned currently from loans of this
type justifies the attendant risk. In addition, the Fund could suffer loss if
the borrower terminates the loan and the Fund is forced to liquidate
investments in order to return the cash collateral to the buyer. If the
Manager determines to make loans, it is not intended that the value of the
securities loaned by the Fund would exceed 30% of the value of its net assets.

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS AND ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities for which
there is no readily available market. These illiquid securities may include
privately placed restricted securities for which no institutional market
exists. The absence of a trading market can make it difficult to ascertain a
market value for illiquid investments. Disposing of illiquid investments may
involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult
or impossible for the Fund to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.

"WHEN-ISSUED" SECURITIES

In order to ensure the availability of suitable securities, the Fund may
purchase securities on a "when-issued" or on a "forward delivery" basis, which
means that the securities would be delivered to the Fund at a future date
beyond customary settlement time. Under normal circumstances, the Fund takes
delivery of the securities. In general, the purchaser does not pay for the
securities until received and does not start earning interest until the
contractual settlement date. While awaiting delivery of the securities, the
Fund establishes a segregated account consisting of cash, cash equivalents or
high quality debt securities equal to the amount of the Fund's commitments to
purchase "when-issued" securities. An increase in the percentage of the Fund's
assets committed to the purchase of securities on a "when-issued" basis may
increase the volatility of its net asset value.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted the following policies which
may not be changed without approval by holders of a "majority of the
outstanding voting securities" of the Fund, which as used in this Statement of
Additional Information means the vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund present at a meeting, if the holders
of more than 50% of the outstanding "voting securities" of the Fund are
present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding
"voting securities" of the Fund. The term "voting securities" as used in this
paragraph has the same meaning as in the 1940 Act. The Fund will vote the
shares held by its shareholders who do not give voting instructions in the
same proportion as the shares of the Fund's shareholders who do give voting
instructions. Shareholders of the Fund who do not vote will have no effect on
the outcome of these matters.

THE FUND MAY NOT:

(1) Borrow money, except that as a temporary measure for extraordinary
or emergency purposes it may borrow in an amount not to exceed 13 of the
current value of its net assets, including the amount borrowed; or
purchase any securities at any time at which borrowings exceed 5% of the
total assets of the Fund, taken at market value. It is intended that the
Fund would borrow money only from banks and only to accommodate requests
for the repurchase of shares of the Fund while effecting an orderly
liquidation of securities.

(2) Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except that all or
any portion of the assets of the Fund may be invested in one or more
investment companies, to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the
rules and regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such
Act and except insofar as the Fund may technically be deemed an
underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in selling a security for the
Fund.

(3) Make loans to other persons except (a) through the lending of the
Fund's portfolio securities and provided that any such loans not exceed
30% of the Fund's total assets (taken at market value), (b) through the
use of repurchase agreements, fixed time deposits or the purchase of short
term obligations, or (c) by purchasing all or a portion of an issue of
debt securities of types commonly distributed privately to financial
institutions. The purchase of short-term commercial paper or a portion of
an issue of debt securities which is part of an issue to the public shall
not be considered the making of a loan.

(4) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership
interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests
therein), interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or
commodity contracts in the ordinary course of business (the foregoing
shall not be deemed to preclude the Fund from purchasing or selling
futures contracts or options thereon, and the Fund reserves the freedom of
action to hold and to sell real estate acquired as a result of the
ownership of securities by the Fund).

(5) Purchase securities of any one issuer if such purchase at the time
thereof would cause as to 75% of the Fund's total assets more than 5% of
the Fund's assets (taken at market value) to be invested in the securities
of such issuer (other than securities or obligations issued or guaranteed
by the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or any
political subdivision of any such state, or any agency or instrumentality
of the United States or of any state or of any political subdivision of
any state), provided that, for purposes of this restriction, the issuer of
an option or futures contract shall not be deemed to be the issuer of the
security or securities underlying such contract; and provided further that
the Fund may invest all or any portion of its assets in one or more
investment companies, to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the
rules and regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such
Act.

(6) Concentrate the Fund's investments in any particular industry,
but, if it is deemed appropriate for the achievement of the Fund's
investment objective, up to 25% of the Fund's assets, at market value at
the time of each investment, may be invested in any one industry, except
that positions in futures contracts shall not be subject to this
restriction, and except that the Fund will invest at least 25% of its
assets and may invest up to 100% of its assets in bank obligations.

(7) Issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) if such issuance is specifically prohibited by the 1940 Act or the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

PERCENTAGE AND RATING RESTRICTIONS

If a percentage restriction or a rating restriction (other than a
restriction as to borrowing) on investment or utilization of assets set forth
above or referred to in the Prospectus is adhered to at the time an investment
is made or assets are so utilized, a later change in percentage resulting from
changes in the value of the securities held by the Fund or a later change in
the rating of a security held by the Fund is not considered a violation of
policy.

3. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Fund performance may be quoted in advertising, shareholder reports and
other communications in terms of yield, effective yield or total rate of
return. All performance information is historical and is not intended to
indicate future performance. Yields and total rates of return fluctuate in
response to market conditions and other factors.

From time to time, in reports or other communications to shareholders or
in advertising or sales materials, performance of Fund shares may be compared
with current or historical performance of other mutual funds or classes of
shares of other mutual funds, as listed in the rankings prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. or similar independent services that monitor the
performance of mutual funds, financial indices such as the S&P 500 Index or
other industry or financial publications, including, but not limited to, Bank
Rate Monitor, iMoneyNet's Money Fund Report, Morningstar, Inc. and Thomson
Financial Bank Watch. The Fund may also present statistics on current and
historical rates of Money Market Deposit Accounts and Statement Savings,
Certificates of Deposit (CDs) and other bank or depository products prepared
by outside services such as Bank Rate Monitor, Inc., and compare this
performance to the current or historical performance of the Fund. Any given
"performance" or performance comparison should not be considered as
representative of any performance in the future. In addition, there may be
differences between a Fund and the various indexes and products which may be
compared to the Fund. In particular, mutual funds differ from bank deposits or
other bank products in several respects. For example, a fund may offer greater
liquidity or higher potential returns than CDs, but a fund does not guarantee
your principal or your returns, and fund shares are not FDIC insured.

The Fund may provide annualized yield and effective yield quotations. The
yield of the Fund refers to the income generated by an investment in the Fund
over a seven-day period (which period is stated in any such advertisement or
communication). This income is then annualized; that is, the amount of income
generated by the investment over that period is assumed to be generated each
week over a 365-day period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. Any
current yield quotation of the Fund which is used in such a manner as to be
subject to the provisions of Rule 482(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, consists of an annualized historical yield, carried at least to the
nearest hundredth of one percent, based on a specific seven calendar day
period and is calculated by dividing the net change in the value of an account
having a balance of one share at the beginning of the period by the value of
the account at the beginning of the period and multiplying the quotient by
3657. For this purpose the net change in account value would reflect the value
of additional shares purchased with dividends declared on the original share
and dividends declared on both the original share and any such additional
shares, but would not reflect any realized gains or losses from the sale of
securities or any unrealized appreciation or depreciation on portfolio
securities. The effective yield is calculated similarly, but when annualized
the income earned by the investment during that seven-day period is assumed to
be reinvested. The effective yield is slightly higher than the yield because
of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment. Any effective yield
quotation of the Fund so used shall be calculated by compounding the current
yield quotation for such period by multiplying such quotation by 7365, adding
1 to the product, raising the sum to a power equal to 3657, and subtracting 1
from the result.

The Fund may provide its period and average annualized total rates of
return. The total rate of return refers to the change in the value of an
investment in the Fund over a stated period and is compounded to include the
value of any shares purchased with any dividends or capital gains declared
during such period. A total rate of return quotation for the Fund is
calculated for any period by (a) dividing (i) the sum of the net asset value
per share on the last day of the period and the net asset value per share on
the last day of the period of shares purchasable with dividends and capital
gains distributions declared during such period with respect to a share held
at the beginning of such period and with respect to shares purchased with such
dividends and capital gains distributions, by (ii) the public offering price
on the first day of such period, and (b) subtracting 1 from the result. Period
total rate of return may be annualized. An annualized total rate of return
assumes that the period total rate of return is generated over a one-year
period. Any annualized total rate of return quotation is calculated by (x)
adding 1 to the period total rate of return quotation calculated above, (y)
raising such sum to a power which is equal to 365 divided by the number of
days in such period, and (z) subtracting 1 from the result.

Set forth below is total rate of return information for the Class L and
Class S shares of the Fund, assuming that dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, were reinvested, for the Fund for the period indicated.
The Class I and O shares of the Fund have no investment history. Performance
results include any applicable fee waivers or expense subsidies in place
during the time period, which may cause the results to be more favorable than
they would otherwise have been.

August 31, 2000 5.33% $1,053.26
</TABLE>

The annualized yields for the Class L and Class S shares of the Fund for
the seven-day period ended August 31, 2000 were 6.46% and 6.31%, respectively.
The effective compound annualized yields for the Class L and Class S shares of
the Fund for such period were 6.67% and 6.51%, respectively.

For advertising and sales purposes, the Fund will generally use the
performance of Class L shares. All outstanding Fund shares were designated
Class L shares on January 4, 1999. If the performance of Class I, Class O or
Class S shares is used for advertising and sales purposes, performance after
class inception will be actual performance, while performance prior to that
date will be Class L performance.

4. DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value of each class of the shares of the Fund is determined
on each day on which the NYSE is open for trading. This determination is made
once during each such day as of 5:00 p.m. by dividing the value of the Fund's
net assets (i.e., the value of its assets attributable to a class less its
liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued) by the number of the
shares of the class outstanding at the time the determination is made. As of
the date of this Statement of Additional Information, the NYSE is open for
trading every weekday except for the following holidays (or the days on which
they are observed): New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents'
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day
and Christmas Day. It is anticipated that the net asset value of each share of
the Fund will remain constant at $1.00 and, although no assurance can be given
that it will be able to do so on a continuing basis, as described below, the
Fund employs specific investment policies and procedures to accomplish this
result.

The securities held by the Fund are valued at their amortized cost.
Amortized cost valuation involves valuing an instrument at its cost and
thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium. If fluctuating interest rates cause the market value of the
securities held by the Fund to deviate more than 12 of 1% from their value
determined on the basis of amortized cost, the Fund's Board of Trustees will
consider whether any action should be initiated, as described in the following
paragraph. Although the amortized cost method provides certainty in valuation,
it may result in periods during which the stated value of an instrument is
higher or lower than the price the Fund would receive if the instrument were
sold.

Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"),
the Trust's Board of Trustees has established procedures to stabilize the
value of the Fund's net assets within 12 of 1% of the value determined on the
basis of amortized cost. These procedures include a review of the extent of
any such deviation of net asset value, based on available market rates. Should
that deviation exceed 12 of 1% for the Fund, the Trust's Board of Trustees
will consider whether any action should be initiated to eliminate or reduce
material dilution or other unfair results to the investors in the Fund. Such
action may include withdrawal in kind, selling securities prior to maturity
and utilizing a net asset value as determined by using available market
quotations. The Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days
or less, does not purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater
than 397 days or subject to a repurchase agreement having a duration of
greater than 397 days, limits its investments, including repurchase
agreements, to those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments that are determined
by the Manager to present minimal credit risks and complies with certain
reporting and recordkeeping procedures. The Trust also has established
procedures to ensure that securities purchased by the Fund meet high quality
criteria. (See "Investment Objective, Policies and Restrictions -- Investment
Policies.")

Subject to compliance with applicable regulations, the Trust has reserved
the right to pay the redemption price of shares of the Fund, either totally or
partially, by a distribution in kind of securities (instead of cash). The
securities so distributed would be valued at the same amount as that assigned
to them in calculating the net asset value for the shares being sold. If a
holder of shares received a distribution in kind, such holder could incur
brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash.

Shareholders may redeem Fund shares by sending written instructions in
proper form to the Fund's sub-transfer agent, or if they hold their shares
through a Service Agent, to the Service Agent. Shareholders are responsible
for ensuring that a request for redemption is in proper form.

Shareholders may redeem or exchange Fund shares by telephone, if their
account applications so permit, by calling the sub-transfer agent or, if they
are customers of a Service Agent, their Service Agent. During periods of
drastic economic or market changes or severe weather or other emergencies,
shareholders may experience difficulties implementing a telephone exchange or
redemption. In such an event, another method of instruction, such as a written
request sent via an overnight delivery service, should be considered. The
Fund, the sub-transfer agent and each Service Agent will employ reasonable
procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine.
These procedures may include recording of the telephone instructions and
verification of a caller's identity by asking for the shareholder's name,
address, telephone number, Social Security number or taxpayer identification
number, and account number. If these or other reasonable procedures are not
followed, the Fund, the sub-transfer agent or the Service Agent may be liable
for any losses to a shareholder due to unauthorized or fraudulent
instructions. Otherwise, the shareholders will bear all risk of loss relating
to a redemption or exchange by telephone.

The Trust may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of
payment for shares of the Fund more than seven days during any period when (a)
trading in the markets the Fund normally utilizes is restricted, or an
emergency, as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC, exists making
disposal of the Fund's investments or determination of its net asset value not
reasonably practicable; (b) the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend
and holiday closings); or (c) the SEC has by order permitted such suspension.

5. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASE
AND SALE OF FUND SHARES

As described in the Prospectus, the Fund provides you with alternative
ways of purchasing shares based upon your individual investment needs. All
Fund shares held prior to January 4, 1999 have been redesignated Class L
shares.

Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in the same
portfolio of investments. Each class is identical in all respects except that
each class bears its own class expenses, including distribution and service
fees, and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to any
distribution or service plan applicable to its shares. As a result of the
differences in the expenses borne by each class of shares, net income per
share, dividends per share and net asset value per share will vary for each
class of shares. There are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription
rights.

The Declaration of Trust of the Trust provides that the Trust will
indemnify its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred
in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their
offices with the Trust unless, as to liability to the Trust or its investors,
it is finally adjudicated that they engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in their
offices, or unless with respect to any other matter it is finally adjudicated
that they did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that their
actions were in the best interests of the Trust. In the case of settlement,
such indemnification will not be provided unless it has been determined by a
court or other body approving the settlement or other disposition, or by a
reasonable determination, based upon a review of readily available facts, by
vote of a majority of disinterested Trustees of the Trust, or in a written
opinion of independent counsel, that such officers or Trustees have not
engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of their duties.

MANAGER

Citibank manages the assets of the Fund and provides certain
administrative services to the Trust pursuant to a management agreement (the
"Management Agreement"). The Manager furnishes at its own expense all
services, facilities and personnel necessary in connection with managing the
Fund's investments and effecting securities transactions for the Fund. The
Management Agreement will continue from year to year as long as such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of
Trustees of the Trust or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund, and, in either case, by a majority of the Trustees of
the Trust who are not parties to the Management Agreement or interested
persons of any such party, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
the Management Agreement.

The Manager provides the Trust with general office facilities and
supervises the overall administration of the Trust, including, among other
responsibilities, the negotiation of contracts and fees with, and the
monitoring of performance and billings of, the Trust's independent contractors
and agents; the preparation and filing of all documents required for
compliance by the Trust with applicable laws and regulations; and arranging
for the maintenance of books and records of the Trust. Trustees, officers, and
investors in the Trust are or may be or may become interested in the Manager,
as directors, officers, employees, or otherwise and directors, officers and
employees of the Manager are or may become similarly interested in the Trust.

The Management Agreement provides that the Manager may render services to
others. The Management Agreement is terminable without penalty on not more
than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice by the Trust when
authorized either by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of the Fund or by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust,
or by the Manager on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written
notice, and will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. The
Management Agreement provides that neither the Manager nor its personnel shall
be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising
out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of security
transactions for the Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence or reckless disregard of its or their obligations and duties under
the Management Agreement.

For its services under the Management Agreement, Citibank receives a fee
equal to, on an annual basis, up to 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net
assets for the Fund's then-current fiscal year. Citibank has voluntarily
agreed to waive a portion of its management fee.

For the period October 17, 1997 (commencement of operations) to August 31,
1998 and for the fiscal years ended August 31, 1999 and 2000, the fees paid
from the Fund to Citibank under the Management Agreement, after waivers, were
$131,117, $283,023, and $420,204, respectively.

Citibank and its affiliates may have deposit, loan and other relationships
with the issuers of securities purchased on behalf of the Fund, including
outstanding loans to such issuers which may be repaid in whole or in part with
the proceeds of securities so purchased. The Manager has informed the Fund
that, in making its investment decisions, it does not obtain or use material
inside information in the possession of any division or department of Citibank
or in the possession of any affiliate of Citibank.

Pursuant to a sub-administrative services agreement with Citibank, SSB
Citi, an affiliate of Citibank, performs such sub-administrative duties for
the Trust as from time to time are agreed upon by Citibank and SSB Citi. For
performing such sub-administrative services, SSB Citi receives compensation as
from time to time is agreed upon by Citibank, not in excess of the amount paid
to Citibank for its services under the Management Agreement with the Trust.
All such compensation is paid by Citibank.

DISTRIBUTOR

Salomon Smith Barney, 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013,
serves as the Distributor of the Fund's shares pursuant to a Distribution
Agreement with the Trust with respect to each class of shares of the Fund (the
"Distribution Agreements"). Each Distribution Agreement is terminable with or
without cause, without penalty, on 60 days' notice by the Board of Trustees of
the Trust or by vote of holders of a majority of the relevant class of the
Fund's outstanding voting securities, or on 90 days' notice by Salomon Smith
Barney. Unless otherwise terminated, each Distribution Agreement shall
continue for successive annual periods so long as such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by (a) the Trust's Board of Trustees,
or (b) by a vote of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the relevant
class of the Fund's outstanding voting securities, provided that in either
event that continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board members of
the Trust who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any
party to the Distribution Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Each Distribution Agreement
will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, as defined in the
1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Under separate Service Plans for each class of shares of the Fund (the
"Service Plans") which have been adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under
the 1940 Act, the Fund may pay monthly fees as a percentage of the average
daily net assets represented by each class of shares, at an annual rate not to
exceed the following:

Class I 0.05%
Class L 0.10%
Class O 0.05%
Class S 0.25%

Each Service Plan obligates the Fund to pay fees to the Distributor,
Service Agents and others as compensation for their services, not as
reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if their expenses
exceed the fees provided for by the Service Plans for the Fund, the Fund will
not be obligated to pay more than those fees and, if their expenses are less
than the fees paid to them, they will realize a profit. The Fund will pay the
fees to the Distributor, Service Agents and others until the applicable
Service Plan or Distribution Agreement is terminated or not renewed. In that
event, the Distributor's or Service Agent's expenses in excess of fees
received or accrued through the termination date will be the Distributor's or
Service Agent's sole responsibility and not obligations of the Fund.

Each Service Plan continues in effect if such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the Trust's
Trustees and a majority of the Trust's Trustees who are not "interested
persons" of the Trust (as defined in the 1940 Act) and who have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the operation of the Service Plan or in any
agreement related to such Plan (for purposes of this paragraph "Qualified
Trustees"). Each Service Plan requires that the Trust and the Distributor
provide to the Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees review, at least
quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended (and the purposes
therefor) under the Service Plan. Each Service Plan further provides that the
selection and nomination of the Qualified Trustees is committed to the
discretion of the Qualified Trustees then in office who are not interested
Trustees of the Trust. A Service Plan may be terminated with respect to any
class of the Fund at any time by a vote of a majority of the Trust's Qualified
Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
that class. A Service Plan may not be amended to increase materially the
amount of a class' permitted expenses thereunder without the approval of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of that class and may not be
materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both the
Trustees and Qualified Trustees. The Distributor will preserve copies of any
plan, agreement or report made pursuant to the Service Plans for a period of
not less than six years, and for the first two years the Distributor will
preserve such copies in an easily accessible place.

As contemplated by the Service Plans, Salomon Smith Barney acts as the
agent of the Trust in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund
pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. For the period October 17, 1997
(commencement of operations) to August 31, 1998 and for the fiscal years ended
August 31, 1999 and 2000, the fees paid to CFBDS Inc., the former distributor,
after waivers, under a prior Distribution Agreement for Class L shares were
$103,998, $159,418 and $183,400, respectively. For the period October 6, 1999
(commencement of operations) to August 31, 2000, the fees paid to CFBDS Inc.,
the former distributor, after waivers under a prior Distribution Agreement for
Class S shares were $91,249.

The Distributor may enter into agreements with Service Agents and may pay
compensation to such Service Agents for accounts for which the Service Agents
are holders of record. Payments may be made to the Service Agents out of the
distribution fees received by the Distributor and out of the Distributor's
past profits or any other source available to it.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Trust, the Manager and the Distributor each have adopted a code of
ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. Each code of ethics permits personnel subject to such code to invest
in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund.
However, the codes of ethics contain provisions and requirements designed to
identify and address certain conflicts of interest between personal investment
activities and the interests of the Fund. Of course, there can be no assurance
that the codes of ethics will be effective in identifying and addressing all
conflicts of interest relating to personal securities transactions.

TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN

The Trust has entered into a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with
Citi Fiduciary Trust Company ("Citi Fiduciary") pursuant to which Citi
Fiduciary acts as transfer agent for the Fund. Under the Transfer Agency and
Service Agreement, Citi Fiduciary maintains the shareholder account records
for the Fund, handles certain communications between shareholders and the Fund
and distributes dividends and distributions payable by the Fund. For these
services, Citi Fiduciary receives a monthly fee computed on the basis of the
number of shareholder accounts it maintains for the Fund during the month and
is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. The principal business address of
Citi Fiduciary is 125 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004.

The Trust has entered into a Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with
State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), pursuant to which State
Street acts as sub-transfer agent for the Fund. The Trust also has entered
into a Custodian Agreement with State Street, pursuant to which custodial and
fund accounting services are provided for the Fund. Securities may be held by
a sub-custodian bank approved by the Trustees. The address of State Street is
225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110.

7. DEALER COMMISSIONS AND CONCESSIONS

From time to time, the Fund's Distributor or Manager, at its expense, may
provide additional commissions, compensation or promotional incentives
("concessions") to dealers that sell or arrange for the sale of shares of the
Funds. Such concessions provided by the Fund's Distributor or Manager may
include financial assistance to dealers in connection with preapproved
conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered
representatives and other employees, payment for travel expenses, including
lodging, incurred by registered representatives and other employees for such
seminars or training programs, seminars for the public, advertising and sales
campaigns regarding the Fund, and/or other dealer-sponsored events. From time
to time, the Fund's Distributor or Manager may make expense reimbursements for
special training of a dealer's registered representatives and other employees
in group meetings or to help pay the expenses of sales contests. Other
concessions may be offered to the extent not prohibited by state laws or any
self-regulatory agency, such as the NASD.

8. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Fund's purchases and sales of portfolio securities usually are
principal transactions. Portfolio securities are normally purchased directly
from the issuer or from an underwriter or market maker for the securities.
There usually are no brokerage commissions paid for such purchases. The Fund
does not anticipate paying brokerage commissions. Any transaction for which
the Fund pays a brokerage commission will be effected at the best price and
execution available. Purchases from underwriters of portfolio securities
include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and
purchases from dealers serving as market makers include the spread between the
bid and asked price.

Allocation of transactions, including their frequency, to various dealers
is determined by the Manager in its best judgment and in a manner deemed to be
in the best interest of investors in the Fund rather than by any formula. The
primary consideration is prompt execution of orders in an effective manner at
the most favorable price.

Investment decisions for the Fund will be made independently from those
for any other account, series or investment company that is or may in the
future become managed by the Manager or its affiliates. If, however, the Fund
and other investment companies, series or accounts managed by the Manager are
contemporaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, the
transactions may be averaged as to price and allocated equitably to each
account. In some cases, this policy might adversely affect the price paid or
received by the Fund or the size of the position obtainable for the Fund. In
addition, when purchases or sales of the same security for the Fund and for
other investment companies or series managed by the Manager occur
contemporaneously, the purchase or sale orders may be aggregated in order to
obtain any price advantages available to large denomination purchases or
sales.

Portfolio transactions may be executed with the Manager, or with any
affiliate of the Manager, acting either as principal or as broker, subject to
applicable law. No commissions on portfolio transactions were paid by the Fund
during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000 to the Manager or any affiliate
of the Manager.

9. DESCRIPTION OF SHARES, VOTING RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

The Trust's Declaration of Trust permits the Trust's Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional Shares of Beneficial Interest
($0.00001 par value) of each of its series and to divide or combine the shares
of any series into a greater or lesser number of shares of that series without
thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests in that series and to
divide such shares into classes. In addition to the Fund, there are currently
three other series of the Trust: Citi Institutional Liquid Reserves, Citi
Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves and Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves.
Each share of each class of the Fund represents an equal proportionate
interest in the Fund with each other share of that class. Upon liquidation or
dissolution of the Fund, the Fund's shareholders are entitled to share pro
rata in the Fund's net assets available for distribution to its shareholders.
The Trust reserves the right to create and issue additional series and classes
of shares. Shares of each series of the Trust participate equally in the
earnings, dividends and distribution of net assets of the particular series
upon the liquidation or dissolution of the series (except for any differences
between classes of shares of a series). Shares of each series are entitled to
vote separately to approve management agreements or changes in investment
policy, and shares of a class are entitled to vote separately to approve any
distribution or service arrangements relating to that class, but shares of all
series may vote together in the election or selection of Trustees and
accountants for the Trust. In matters affecting only a particular series or
class, only shares of that series or class are entitled to vote.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held on matters on
which they are entitled to vote. Shareholders in the Trust do not have
cumulative voting rights, and shareholders owning more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of the Trust may elect all of the Trustees of the Trust if
they choose to do so and in such event the other shareholders in the Trust
would not be able to elect any Trustee. The Trust is not required and has no
present intention of holding annual meetings of shareholders but the Trust
will hold special meetings of the Fund's shareholders when in the judgment of
the Trust's Trustees it is necessary or desirable to submit matters for a
shareholder vote. Shareholders have under certain circumstances (e.g., upon
application and submission of certain specified documents to the Trustees by a
specified number of shareholders) the right to communicate with other
shareholders in connection with requesting a meeting of shareholders for the
purpose of removing one or more Trustees. Shareholders also have the right to
remove one or more Trustees without a meeting by a declaration in writing by a
specified number of shareholders. No material amendment may be made to the
Trust's Declaration of Trust without the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of each series affected by the amendment.

Share certificates will not be issued.

10. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TAX MATTERS

The Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each year as a
"regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), by meeting all applicable requirements of
Subchapter M, including requirements as to the nature of the Fund's gross
income, the amount of Fund distributions, and the composition of the Fund's
portfolio assets. Provided all such requirements are met and all of the Fund's
net investment income and realized capital gains are distributed to
shareholders in accordance with the timing requirements imposed by the Code,
no federal or Massachusetts income or excise taxes will be required to be paid
by the Fund. If the Fund should fail to qualify as a regulated investment
company for any year, the Fund would incur federal and Massachusetts taxes
upon its taxable income and Fund distributions would generally be taxable as
ordinary dividend income to shareholders.

Because the Fund expects to earn primarily interest income, it is expected
that no Fund distributions will qualify for the dividends-received deduction
for corporations.

Investment income received by the Fund from non-U.S. investments may be
subject to foreign income taxes withheld at the source; the Fund does not
expect to be able to pass through to shareholders any foreign tax credits with
respect to those foreign taxes. The United States has entered into tax
treaties with many foreign countries that may entitle the Fund to a reduced
rate of tax or an exemption from tax on these investments. It is not possible
to determine the Fund's effective rate of foreign tax in advance since that
rate depends upon the proportion of the Fund's assets ultimately invested
within various countries.
