as supplemented May 29, 1998
Effective October 1, 1998, the MSTC Cash Reserves Class changed its
name to the Resource Class (the "Class").
Also effective October 1, 1998, the paragraph under the heading
"Investors in the Class" on page 2 of the prospectus should be deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:
"The Class has been notified that Chase Manhattan Bank's acquisition of
the Morgan Stanley global custody businesses, Morgan Stanley Trust
Company ("MSTC") and Morgan Stanley Bank Luxembourg, S.A., has been
approved by all necessary regulatory agencies and will be completed on
Thursday, October, 1, 1998 (the "Chase Transaction"). The Class was
originally designed to be a convenient and economical vehicle in which
MSTC, acting for itself or in a custodial or other similar capacity,
could invest short-term cash reserves. As a result of the Chase
Transaction, the Class is now being revised to include a broader range
of investors. Effective October 1, 1998, the Class is designed to be a
convenient vehicle in which institutional customers of banks, certain
broker-dealers and other financial institutions can invest in a
diversified open-end money market fund."
Also effective October 1, 1998, the paragraph under the heading
"Suitability for Investors" on page 5 of the prospectus should be deleted in
its entirety and replaced with the following:
"The shares of the Class are intended for use primarily by
institutional customers of banks, certain broker-dealers and other
financial institutions who seek a convenient vehicle in which to invest
in an open-end diversified money market fund. It is expected that the
shares of the Class may be particularly suitable for corporate cash
managers, municipalities or other public entities. Prospective
investors should determine if an investment in the Class is consistent
with the objectives of an account and with applicable state and federal
laws and regulations."
