MARKET FUND
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS EVERY INVESTOR SHOULD ASK 
1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S GOAL? 
Spartan U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund is a money market fund whose goal
is to seek high current income while maintaining a stable share price.
2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY? 
The fund invests in U.S. Treasury securities backed by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. government. The fund follows industry-standard
guidelines on the quality and maturity of its investments, which are
designed to help maintain a stable $1.00 share price. The fund will
purchase only high-quality securities that its investment manager believes
present minimal credit risks and will observe maturity restrictions on
securities it buys. When you sell your shares, they should be worth the
same amount as when you bought them.
3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS? 
In general, securities with longer maturities are more vulnerable to price
changes, although they may provide higher yields. It is possible that a
major change in interest rates or a default on the fund's investments could
cause its share price (and the value of your investment) to change.
Investments in the fund are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
government. The fund by itself is not a balanced investment plan.
4. IS THE FUND APPROPRIATE FOR ME? 
The fund may be appropriate for investors who would like to earn current
income while preserving the value of their investment. The fund offers an
added measure of safety with its focus on U.S. Treasury securities, which
are fully backed by the U.S. government and are typically free from state
and local taxes. The rate of income will vary from day to day, generally
reflecting changes in short-term interest rates. 
5. WHAT ARE THE FUND'S EXPENSES? 
    SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES    are charges you pay when you buy,
sell or hold shares of a fund. These fees are waived if your account
balance at the time of the transaction is $50,000 or more.     ANNUAL FUND
OPERATING EXPENSES    are paid out of the fund's assets. Expenses are
factored into the fund's share price or dividends and are not charged
directly to shareholder accounts. Operating expense projections are based
on historical expenses, adjusted to reflect current fees, and are
calculated as a percentage of average net assets.

       EXAMPLES:    Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual
return is 5% and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described.
For every $1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total
expenses (including the $5 account closeout fee) if you close your account
after the number of years indicated:     
After 1 year   After 3 years   After 5 years   After 10    
                                               years       
 
$10            $19             $30             $62         
 
   These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
