BOSTON 1784 PRIME MONEY MARKET FUND--
FOR HIGHER YIELD POTENTIAL.
[SQUARE BULLET] Higher yield potential is important to you.
[SQUARE BULLET] You don't mind taking more risk than a fund that invests
primarily in government securities.
Because this Fund invests in short-term bank and corporate obligations, it may
earn a higher yield than a fund that invests solely in lower-risk government
securities. The graph below shows how yields of Boston 1784 Prime Money Market
Fund have compared with the yields of Boston 1784 U.S. Treasury Money Market
Fund.

WHAT ARE THE FUNDS' GOALS?
TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND
The Tax-Free Money Market Fund's goals are to preserve the principal value of a
shareholder's investment and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing
current income that is exempt from federal income tax.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IS A MONEY MARKET FUND?
A MONEY MARKET FUND is a type of mutual fund that tries to maintain a share
price of $1.00 while paying income to its shareholders. A stable share price
protects your investment from loss ("PRESERVATION OF PRINCIPAL"). If you need to
sell your shares at any time, you should receive your initial investment plus
any income that you have earned (thereby providing "LIQUIDITY"). However, a
money market fund does not guarantee that you will receive your money back.
A money market fund must follow strict rules as to the investment quality,
maturity, diversification and other features of the securities it purchases, and
the average remaining maturity of the securities cannot be greater than 90 days.
The remaining maturity of a security is the period of time until the principal
amount must be repaid.

[GRAPHIC OF CHESS PIECE OMITTED]
WHAT ARE THE FUNDS' MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES?
TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND
The Tax-Free Money Market Fund invests primarily in short-term municipal
securities, which are debt securities issued by states, cities and towns and
other political or public entities or agencies. The interest paid on these debt
securities is free from federal income tax.
The Fund may also enter into repurchase agreements and invest in limited amounts
in securities paying interest that is not free from federal taxes.
U.S. TREASURY MONEY
MARKET FUND
The U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund invests primarily in short-term U.S.
government obligations including Treasury securities, U.S. government agency
securities and repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government securities.
INSTITUTIONAL U.S. TREASURY
MONEY MARKET FUND
The Institutional U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund invests primarily in
short-term U.S. government obligations, including Treasury securities, U.S.
government agency securities and repurchase agreements secured by U.S.
government securities.
PRIME MONEY MARKET FUND
The Prime Money Market Fund invests primarily in high quality short-term debt
obligations, including commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper,
corporate bonds, U.S. government agency obligations, taxable municipal
securities and repurchase agreements.
INSTITUTIONAL PRIME
MONEY MARKET FUND
The Institutional Prime Money Market Fund invests primarily in high quality
short-term debt obligations, including commercial paper, asset-backed commercial
paper, corporate bonds, U.S. government agency obligations, taxable municipal
securities and repurchase agreements.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT ARE U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS?
U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS or securities are bonds or other debt obligations
issued by, or whose principal and interest are guaranteed by, the U.S.
government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities. U.S. Treasury securities
and some obligations of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities are
supported by the "full faith and credit" of the United States. Some U.S.
government obligations are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
U.S. Treasury and others only by the credit of the issuing agency or
instrumentality. U.S. government obligations generally have less credit risk
than other debt obligations.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN RISKS
OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS?
The principal risks of investing in the Money Market Funds and the circumstances
reasonably likely, in the opinion of the Adviser, to adversely affect your
investment are described below. Please note that there are many other factors
which could adversely affect your investment, and which could prevent a Fund
from achieving its objectives, which are not described here. The principal risks
are:
[bullet] The rate of income will vary from day to day depending on short-term
interest rates.
[bullet] It is possible that a major change in interest rates or a default on
a security or a repurchase agreement held by a Fund could cause the
value of your investment to decline.
[bullet] Each Money Market Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets in
zero coupon securities called STRIPS, which are the separately
traded interest and principal component parts of U.S. Treasury
securities. The interest-only component is extremely sensitive to
the rate of principal payments on the underlying obligation. The
market value of the principal-only component generally is unusually
volatile in response to changes in interest rates.
[bullet] An investment in a Fund is not a deposit of BankBoston and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
or any other governmental agency.
[bullet] Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at
$1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the
Funds.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND
TAX INFORMATION
Your dividend distributions are declared each day, starting on the day you
purchase your shares. They are paid to your account on the first business day
of each month that you are a shareholder. You will not receive a dividend for
the day on which you sell shares.
You will receive distributions from a Fund in additional shares of that Fund
unless you choose to receive your distributions in cash.
Distributions from the Tax-Free Money Market Fund will generally be exempt from
federal income tax, although some distributions may be taxable. Distributions
from the other Money Market Funds will generally be subject to federal income
tax as ordinary income. Your distributions will be taxed in the same manner
whether you receive them in cash or in additional shares of a Fund.
