You should know: An investment in a portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not
insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. There is no
assurance that each portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value
of $1.00 per share.

 Investment, risks and performance

Investment objectives
Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio each seek maximum current income to the
extent consistent with preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidi-
ty. Municipal Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from fed-
eral income taxes to the extent consistent with preservation of capital and the
maintenance of liquidity.

Principal investment strategies

Key investments
Government Portfolio This portfolio invests exclusively in short-term U.S. gov-
ernment obligations, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Gov-
ernment, its agencies and instrumentalities and U.S. Treasury securities and
related repurchase agreements.

Cash Portfolio This portfolio invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated
short-term debt securities, primarily commercial paper and obligations of
financial institutions such as certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances,
time deposits of U.S. banks with total assets greater than $1 billion (or the
equivalent in other currencies in the case of foreign banks). Either the prin-
cipal amount of each obligation is fully insured by the FDIC or the issuing
bank has more than $100 million of working capital or more than $1 billion of
total assets. These also may include obligations issued by the U.S. government,
its agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. states and municipalities and U.S. and
foreign corporate issuers. The portfolio will invest at least 25% of its assets
in obligations of domestic and foreign banks.

Cash Portfolio also may invest in money market securities including asset-
backed securities, repurchase agreements and other short term debt securities.
These securities may pay interest at fixed, floating or adjustable rates. The
portfolio limits foreign investments to U.S. dollar denominated securities of
issuers located in major industrialized countries.

Municipal Portfolio This portfolio invests primarily in high quality, short-
term investment grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from Fed-
eral income tax. These include securities issued by any of the 50 states and
their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities (together with
certain other governmental issuers such as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and
Guam). As a result, the interest rate on these securities normally is lower
than it would be if the securities were subject to taxation. The municipal
securities in which the fund invests include general obligation

bonds, revenue bonds and notes, and municipal leases. These securities may pay
interest at fixed, variable or floating rates. The Municipal Portfolio can
invest up to 20% of its assets in securities whose interest is federally tax-
able.

Minimum credit quality The portfolios invest only in high quality securities,
which are those rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organiza-
tion in one of its two highest short-term rating categories or, if unrated, of
equivalent quality.

Maximum maturity Each portfolio invests exclusively in securities having
remaining maturities of 397 days or less. Each portfolio maintains a dollar-
weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

Structured securities Structured securities are a type of derivative instru-
ment. Municipal Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in three types of
structured securities: tender option bonds, partnership interests and swap-
based securities. These securities represent participation interests in a spe-
cial purpose trust or partnership holding one or more municipal bonds and/or
municipal bond interest rate swaps. A typical swap enables the trust or part-
nership to exchange a municipal bond fixed interest rate for a floating or
variable, short-term municipal interest rate.

Selection process
In selecting investments for the portfolios, the manager looks for:

 . The best relative values based on an analysis of yield, price, interest rate
  sensitivity and credit quality
 . Issuers offering minimal credit risk
 . Maturities consistent with the manager's outlook for interest rates

Principal risks of investing in the portfolios

All investments involve some degree of risk. However, each portfolio is a
"money market fund" and, as such, seeks income by investing in short-term debt
securities that meet strict standards established by the portfolios' Board of
Directors based on special rules for money market funds adopted under federal
law.

Although each portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1
per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a portfolio, or the
portfolios could underperform other short-term debt instruments or money market
funds if:

 . Interest rates rise sharply.

                                                                               3
<PAGE>

 . An issuer or guarantor of a portfolio's securities defaults, or the
  security's credit rating is downgraded.
 . The manager's judgment about the value or credit quality of a particular
  security proves to be incorrect.

Cash Portfolio invests at least 25% of its assets in obligations of domestic
and foreign banks and, as a result, is more susceptible to events affecting the
banking industry. The value of Cash Portfolio's foreign securities may decline
because of unfavorable government actions or political instability.

Some of Municipal Portfolio's income distributions may be, and distributions of
the portfolio's gains will be, subject to federal taxation. The portfolio may
realize taxable gains on the sale of its securities. Some of the portfolio's
income distributions may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In
addition, distributions of Municipal Portfolio's income and gains generally
will be subject to state income taxation.

Structured securities, unlike some derivatives, are not designed to leverage
the portfolio or increase its exposure to interest rate risk. Investments in
structured securities raise certain tax, legal, regulatory and accounting
issues which may not be presented by investments in other municipal bonds.
These issues could be resolved in a manner that could hurt the performance of
the portfolios.

Who may want to invest
Cash Portfolio and Government and Municipal Portfolio may be an appropriate
investment if you:

 . Are seeking current income
 . Are looking for an investment with lower risk than most other types of port-
  folios

In addition to the above, Municipal Portfolio may be an appropriate investment
if you:

 . Are a taxpayer in a high federal tax bracket seeking current income exempt
  from federal taxation
 . Are willing to accept the risks of municipal securities

 Management

Manager The portfolios' investment manager is SSB Citi Fund Management LLC, an
affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. The manager's address is 388 Greenwich
Street, New York, New York 10013. The manager selects the portfolios' invest-
ments and oversees their operations. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are
subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup businesses produce a broad range of
financial services--asset management, banking and consumer finance, credit and
charge cards, insurance, investments, investment banking and trading--and use
diverse channels to make them available to consumer and corporate customers
around the world.

Management fee For its services, the manager received a fee during each portfo-
lio's last fiscal year equal to the amount shown below:

Distributor The portfolios have entered into an agreement with CFBDS, Inc. to
distribute the portfolios' shares. A selling group consisting of Salomon Smith
Barney and other broker-dealers sells portfolio shares to the public.

Year 2000 issue Information technology experts are concerned about computer
systems' ability to process date-related information on and after January 1,
2000. This situation, commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue, could have an
adverse impact on the portfolios. The cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue,
if substantial, could adversely affect companies and governments that issue
securities held by the portfolios. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are
addressing the Year 2000 issue for their systems. The portfolios have been
informed by other service providers that they are taking similar measures.
Although the portfolios do not expect the Year 2000 issue to adversely affect
them, the portfolios cannot guarantee that the efforts of each portfolio, which
are limited to requesting and receiving reports from its service providers, or
the efforts of its service providers to correct the problem will be successful.

 Redeeming shares

     Generally
                 Redemption requests received in proper form prior to 2 p.m.
                 Eastern time (12 noon for Municipal Portfolio) are priced at
                 the net asset value next determined. Redemption requests
                 received after 2 p.m. Eastern time (12 noon for Municipal
                 Portfolio) will not be accepted and a new redemption request
                 should be submitted on the next day that the portfolio calcu-
                 lates its net asset value. If you hold share certificates,
                 the transfer agent must receive the certificates endorsed for
                 transfer or with signed stock powers before the redemption is
                 effective.

          In a   You may redeem shares by contacting your Salomon Smith Barney
     Brokerage   Financial Consultant or dealer representative. If you have a
  Account        Salomon Smith Barney brokerage account, your redemption pro-
                 ceeds will be placed in your account in the form of federal
                 funds on the same day that the redemption order was accepted
                 and not reinvested without your specific instruction. You may
                 have the proceeds sent in the form of federal funds wired on
                 the same day to a bank account previously designated on your
                 application form. If you change the bank account designated
                 to receive the proceeds you must submit in proper form a new
                 account application with a signature guarantee. Alternative-
                 ly, your redemption proceeds can be sent by check to your
                 address of record normally within one, but in no event more
                 than three, business days after your request is received in
                 proper form.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  By telephone
                 If you have an account application on file with the transfer
                 agent with the telephone privilege section properly completed
                 you may request redemptions by telephone on any day the New
                 York Stock Exchange is open. Call the transfer agent at 1-
                 800-282-3505 between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Eastern time
                 (between 9 a.m. and 12 noon for Municipal Portfolio). If,
                 however, you are unable to contact the transfer agent by tel-
                 ephone you may contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial
                 Consultant to effect such redemption.

 Other things to know about share transactions

When you buy, exchange or redeem shares, your request must be in good order.
This means you have provided the following information, without which your
request will not be processed:

 . Name of the portfolio
 . Account number
 . The class of shares and dollar amount or number of shares being bought,
  exchanged or redeemed
 . Signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered

A request to purchase shares becomes effective only when Salomon Smith Barney,
a selling group member or the transfer agent receives, or converts the purchase
amount into, federal funds.

The transfer agent will try to confirm that any telephone exchange or redemp-
tion request is genuine by recording calls, asking the caller to provide a per-
sonal identification number for the account, sending you a written confirmation
or requiring other confirmation procedures from time to time.

Signature guarantees To be in good order, your redemption request must include
a signature guarantee if you:

 . Are sending signed share certificates or stock powers to the transfer agent
 . Instruct the transfer agent to mail the check to an address different from
  the one on your account
 . Changed your account registration
 . Want the check paid to someone other than the account owner(s)
 . Are transferring the redemption proceeds to an account with a different reg-
  istration

You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks, dealers, brokers, credit
unions and federal savings and loan institutions, but not from a notary public.

Each portfolio has the right to:

 . Suspend the offering of shares
 . Waive or change minimum and additional investment amounts

Institutional Cash Management Fund

14
<PAGE>

 . Reject any purchase or exchange order
 . Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege
 . Suspend telephone transactions
 . Suspend or postpone redemptions of shares on any day when trading on the New
  York Stock Exchange is restricted, or as otherwise permitted by the Securi-
  ties and Exchange Commission
 . Pay redemption proceeds by giving you securities. You may pay transaction
  costs to dispose of the securities

Small account balances If your account falls below $100,000 because of a
redemption of portfolio shares, a portfolio may ask you to bring your account
up to $100,000. If your account is still below $100,000 after 60 days, the
portfolio may close your account and send you the redemption proceeds.

Share certificates The portfolios do not issue share certificates unless a
written request signed by all registered owners is made to the transfer agent.
If you hold share certificates, it will take longer to exchange or redeem
shares.

 Distributions, dividends and taxes

Dividends Each portfolio intends to declare a dividend of substantially all of
its net investment income on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
Income dividends are paid monthly. Each portfolio generally makes capital gain
distributions, if any, once a year, typically in December. Each portfolio may
pay additional distributions and dividends at other times if necessary for the
portfolio to avoid a federal tax. Each portfolio expects distributions to be
primarily from income. Dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested
in additional portfolio shares of the same class you hold. Alternatively, you
can instruct your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant, dealer representa-
tive or the transfer agent to have your distributions and/or dividends paid in
cash. You can change your choice at any time to be effective as of the next
distribution or dividend, except that any change given to the transfer agent
less than five days before the payment date will not be effective until the
next distribution or dividend is paid.

Taxes In general, receiving distributions (whether in cash or additional
shares) is a taxable event.

                                       of tax-exempt interest,
                                       which are excludable from
                                       gross income
                                       for Federal income tax
                                       purposes)
</TABLE>

Each portfolio anticipates that it will normally not earn or distribute any
long-term capital gains.

After the end of each year, each portfolio will provide you with information
about the distributions and dividends you received during the previous year. If
you do not provide the portfolios with your correct taxpayer identification
number and any required certifications, you may be subject to back-up withhold-
ing of 31% of your distributions and dividends (other than tax-exempt divi-
dends). Because each shareholder's circumstances are different and special tax
rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about your investment in
the portfolios.

 Share price

You may buy, exchange or redeem shares at their net asset value next determined
after receipt of your request in good order. Each portfolio's net asset value
is the value of its assets minus its liabilities. Municipal Portfolio calcu-
lates its net asset value at noon, Eastern time, every day the New York Stock
Exchange is open. Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio each calculate their
respective net asset values at 2 p.m., Eastern time, every day the New York
Stock Exchange is open. The Exchange is closed on certain holidays listed in
the Statement of Additional Information.

Each portfolio uses the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities.
Using this method, a portfolio constantly amortizes over the remaining life of
a security the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the
cost of the security to the portfolio.

 Financial highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the perfor-
mance of Class A shares of each portfolio for the past 5 years (or since incep-
tion if less than 5 years). Certain information reflects financial results for
a single share. Total return represents the rate that a shareholder would have
earned (or lost) on a portfolio share assuming reinvestment of all dividends
and distributions. The information in the following tables was audited by KPMG
LLP, independent accountants, whose report, along with the portfolios' finan-
cial statements, is included in the annual report (available upon request).

You should know: An investment in a portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not
insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. There is no
assurance that each portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value
of $1.00 per share.

 Investment, risks and performance

Investment objectives
Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio each seek maximum current income to the
extent consistent with preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidi-
ty. Municipal Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from fed-
eral income taxes to the extent consistent with preservation of capital and the
maintenance of liquidity.

Principal investment strategies

Key investments
Government Portfolio This portfolio invests exclusively in short-term U.S. gov-
ernment obligations, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Gov-
ernment, its agencies and instrumentalities and U.S. Treasury securities and
related repurchase agreements.

Cash Portfolio This portfolio invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated
short-term debt securities, primarily commercial paper and obligations of
financial institutions such as certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances,
time deposits of U.S. banks with total assets greater than $1 billion (or the
equivalent in other currencies in the case of foreign banks). Either the prin-
cipal amount of each obligation is fully insured by the FDIC or the issuing
bank has more than $100 million of working capital or more than $1 billion of
total assets. These also may include obligations issued by the U.S. government,
its agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. states and municipalities and U.S. and
foreign corporate issuers. The portfolio will invest at least 25% of its assets
in obligations of domestic and foreign banks.

Cash Portfolio also may invest in money market securities including asset-
backed securities, repurchase agreements and other short term debt securities.
These securities may pay interest at fixed, floating or adjustable rates. The
portfolio limits foreign investments to U.S. dollar denominated securities of
issuers located in major industrialized countries.

Municipal Portfolio This portfolio invests primarily in high quality, short-
term investment grade municipal securities whose interest is exempt from Fed-
eral income tax. These include securities issued by any of the 50 states and
their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities (together with
certain other governmental issuers such as Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and
Guam). As a result, the interest rate on these securities normally is lower
than it would be if the securities were subject to taxation. The municipal
securities in which the fund invests include general obligation bonds, revenue
bonds and notes, and municipal leases. These securities

Institutional Cash Management Fund

<PAGE>

may pay interest at fixed, variable or floating rates. The Municipal Portfolio
can invest up to 20% of its assets in securities whose interest is federally
taxable.

Minimum credit quality The portfolios invest only in high quality securities,
which are those rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organiza-
tion in one of its two highest short-term rating categories or, if unrated, of
equivalent quality.

Maximum maturity Each portfolio invests exclusively in securities having
remaining maturities of 397 days or less. Each portfolio maintains a dollar-
weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

Structured securities Structured securities are a type of derivative instru-
ment. Municipal Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in three types of
structured securities: tender option bonds, partnership interests and swap-
based securities. These securities represent participation interests in a spe-
cial purpose trust or partnership holding one or more municipal bonds and/or
municipal bond interest rate swaps. A typical swap enables the trust or part-
nership to exchange a municipal bond fixed interest rate for a floating or
variable, short-term municipal interest rate.

Selection process
In selecting investments for the portfolios, the manager looks for:

 . The best relative values based on an analysis of yield, price, interest rate
  sensitivity and credit quality
 . Issuers offering minimal credit risk
 . Maturities consistent with the manager's outlook for interest rates

Principal risks of investing in the portfolios

All investments involve some degree of risk. However, each portfolio is a
"money market fund" and, as such, seeks income by investing in short-term debt
securities that meet strict standards established by the portfolios' Board of
Directors based on special rules for money market funds adopted under federal
law.

Although each portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1
per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a portfolio, or the
portfolios could underperform other short-term debt instruments or money market
funds if:

 . Interest rates rise sharply.

                                                       Smith Barney Mutual Funds

                                                                               3
<PAGE>

 . An issuer or guarantor of the portfolios' securities defaults, or the
  security's credit rating is downgraded.
 . The manager's judgment about the value or credit quality of a particular
  security proves to be incorrect.

Cash Portfolio invests at least 25% of its assets in obligations of domestic
and foreign banks and, as a result, is more susceptible to events affecting the
banking industry. The value of Cash Portfolio's foreign securities may decline
because of unfavorable government actions or political instability.

Some of Municipal Portfolio's income distributions may be, and distributions of
the portfolio's gains will be, subject to federal taxation. The portfolio may
realize taxable gains on the sale of its securities. Some of the portfolio's
income distributions may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. In
addition, distributions of Municipal Portfolio's income and gains generally
will be subject to state income taxation.

Structured securities, unlike some derivatives, are not designed to leverage
the portfolio or increase its exposure to interest rate risk. Investments in
structured securities raise certain tax, legal, regulatory and accounting
issues which may not be presented by investments in other municipal bonds.
These issues could be resolved in a manner that could hurt the performance of
the portfolios.

Who may want to invest
Cash Portfolio and Government and Municipal Portfolio may be an appropriate
investment if you:

 . Are seeking current income
 . Are looking for an investment with lower risk than most other types of port-
  folios

In addition to the above, Municipal Portfolio may be an appropriate investment
if you:

 . Are a taxpayer in a high federal tax bracket seeking current income exempt
  from federal taxation
 . Are willing to accept the risks of municipal securities

No performance information is presented for Class B shares of Government Port-
folio and Municipal Portfolio since there were no Class B shares outstanding
for the years ended May 31, 1998 and 1999. No performance is presented for
Class B shares of Cash Portfolio since there were no Class B shares for a full
calendar year since inception.

 Management

Manager The portfolios' investment manager is SSB Citi Fund Management LLC, an
affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. The manager's address is 388 Greenwich
Street, New York, New York 10013. The manager selects the portfolios' invest-
ments and oversees their operations. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are
subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup businesses produce a broad range of
financial services--asset management, banking and consumer finance, credit and
charge cards, insurance, investments, investment banking and trading--and use
diverse channels to make them available to consumer and corporate customers
around the world.

Distributor The portfolios have entered into an agreement with CFBDS, Inc. to
distribute the portfolios' shares. A selling group consisting of Salomon Smith
Barney and other broker-dealers sells portfolio shares to the public.

Distribution plans Each portfolio has adopted a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan
for its Class B shares. Under each plan, the portfolio pays distribution and
service fees. These fees are an ongoing expense and, over time, may cost you
more than other types of sales charges.

Year 2000 issue Information technology experts are concerned about computer
systems' ability to process date-related information on and after January 1,
2000. This situation, commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue, could have an
adverse impact on the portfolios. The cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue,
if substantial, could adversely affect companies and governments that issue
securities held by the portfolios. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are
addressing the Year 2000 issue for their systems. The portfolios have been
informed by other service providers that they are taking similar measures.
Although the portfolios do not expect the Year 2000 issue to adversely affect
them, the portfolios cannot guarantee that the efforts of each portfolio, which
are limited to requesting and receiving reports from its service providers, or
the efforts of its service providers to correct the problem will be successful.

                 to receive the proceeds you must submit in proper form a new
                 account application with a signature guarantee. Alternative-
                 ly, your redemption proceeds can be sent by check to your

                 than three, business days after your request is received in
                 proper form.

   By telephone   If you have an account application on file with the
                  transfer agent with the telephone privilege section
                  properly completed you may request redemptions by
                  telephone on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
                  Call the transfer agent at 1-800-282-3505 between 9:00
                  a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Eastern time (between 9 a.m. and 12
                  noon for Municipal Portfolio). If, however, you are unable
                  to contact the transfer agent by telephone you may contact
                  your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant to effect
                  such redemption.

                      Smith Barney Institutional Cash Management Fund, Inc.
                      (Specify portfolio)

 Other things to know about share transactions

When you buy, exchange or redeem shares, your request must be in good order.
This means you have provided the following information, without which your
request will not be processed:

 . Name of the portfolio
 . Account number
 . The class of shares and dollar amount or number of shares being bought,
  exchanged or redeemed
 . Signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered

A request to purchase shares becomes effective only when Salomon Smith Barney,
a selling group member or the transfer agent receives, or converts the purchase
amount into, federal funds.

The transfer agent will try to confirm that any telephone exchange or redemp-
tion request is genuine by recording calls, asking the caller to provide a per-
sonal identification number for the account, sending you a written confirmation
or requiring other confirmation procedures from time to time.

Signature guarantees To be in good order, your redemption request must include
a signature guarantee if you:

 . Are sending signed share certificates or stock powers to the transfer agent
 . Instruct the transfer agent to mail the check to an address different from
  the one on your account
 . Changed your account registration
 . Want the check paid to someone other than the account owner(s)
 . Are transferring the redemption proceeds to an account with a different reg-
  istration

You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks, dealers, brokers, credit
unions and federal savings and loan institutions, but not from a notary public.

Each portfolio has the right to:

 . Suspend the offering of shares
 . Waive or change minimum and additional investment amounts

Institutional Cash Management Fund

<PAGE>

 . Reject any purchase or exchange order
 . Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege
 . Suspend telephone transactions
 . Suspend or postpone redemptions of shares on any day when trading on the New
  York Stock Exchange is restricted, or as otherwise permitted by the Securi-
  ties and Exchange Commission
 . Pay redemption proceeds by giving you securities. You may pay transaction
  costs to dispose of the securities

Small account balances If your account falls below $100,000 because of a
redemption of portfolio shares, a portfolio may ask you to bring your account
up to $100,000. If your account is still below $100,000 after 60 days, the
portfolio may close your account and send you the redemption proceeds.

Share certificates The portfolios do not issue share certificates unless a
written request signed by all registered owners is made to the transfer agent.
If you hold share certificates, it will take longer to exchange or redeem
shares.

 Distributions, dividends and taxes

Dividends Each portfolio intends to declare a dividend of substantially all of
its net investment income on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
Income dividends are paid monthly. Each portfolio generally makes capital gain
distributions, if any, once a year, typically in December. Each portfolio may
pay additional distributions and dividends at other times if necessary for the
portfolio to avoid a federal tax. Each portfolio expects distributions to be
primarily from income. Dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested
in additional portfolio shares. Alternatively, you can instruct your Salomon
Smith Barney Financial Consultant, dealer representative or the transfer agent
to have your distributions and/or dividends paid in cash. You can change your
choice at any time to be effective as of the next distribution or dividend,
except that any change given to the transfer agent less than five days before
the payment date will not be effective until the next distribution or dividend
is paid.

Taxes In general, receiving distributions (whether in cash or additional
shares) is a taxable event.

Redemption or exchange of shares       Usually no gain or loss

Short-term capital gain distributions  Ordinary income
Dividends                              Ordinary income (except for
                                       Municipal Portfolio's distributions
                                       of tax-exempt interest,
                                       which are excludable
                                       from gross income
                                       for Federal income tax purposes)
</TABLE>

Each portfolio anticipates that it will normally not earn or distribute any
long-term capital gains.

After the end of each year, each portfolio will provide you with information
about the distributions and dividends you received during the previous year. If
you do not provide the portfolios with your correct taxpayer identification
number and any required certifications, you may be subject to back-up withhold-
ing of 31% of your distributions and dividends (other than tax-exempt divi-
dends). Because each shareholder's circumstances are different and special tax
rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about your investment in
the portfolios.

 Share price

You may buy, exchange or redeem shares at their net asset value next determined
after receipt of your request in good order. Each portfolio's net asset value
is the value of its assets minus its liabilities. Municipal Portfolio calcu-
lates its net asset value at noon, Eastern time, every day the New York Stock
Exchange is open. Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio each calculate their
respective net asset values at 2 p.m., Eastern time, every day the New York
Stock Exchange is open. The Exchange is closed on certain holidays listed in
the Statement of Additional Information.

Each portfolio uses the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities.
Using this method, a portfolio constantly amortizes over the remaining life of
a security the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the
cost of the security to the portfolio.

 Financial highlights

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the perfor-
mance of Class B shares of Cash portfolio for the past 5 years (or since incep-
tion if less than 5 years). Certain information reflects financial results for
a single share. Total return represents the rate that a shareholder would have
earned (or lost) on a portfolio share assuming reinvestment of all dividends
and distributions. The information in the following table was audited by KPMG
LLP, independent accountants, whose report, along with the Cash Portfolio's
financial statement, is included in the 1998 annual report.

No financial information is presented for Class B shares of Government Portfo-
lio and Municipal Portfolio since there were no Class B shares outstanding.
