Choosing a Fund
Use our Risk/Reward spectrum to navigate your way to the mutual fund that is right for you.

This Fund is an ideal choice for those investors who are looking for liquidity and convenience with the advantage of money market rates. Money market funds invest in short-term instruments with maturities of 13 months or less, in an effort to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund's policy is to target zero holdings of alternative minimum tax (AMT) securities. However, income from the Fund may be subject to federal AMT, state and local taxes. Municipal securities, including fixed and variable rate notes, tax-exempt commercial paper, municipal bonds and municipal notes can provide the potential for high current income consistent with the preservation of capital that is largely exempt from federal income tax.

Fund Objective: The Fund seeks to provide, to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and prescribed portfolio standards, a high level of income exempt from regular federal income tax by investing primarily in municipal instruments.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here.

The Advisor has agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Fund. The contractual reimbursement arrangement is expected to continue until at least July 31, 2011. After this date, the contractual arrangements may be terminated if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In the absence of fee waivers, yield, total return, growth since inception and dividends would have been reduced. Total return is based on net change in NAV assuming reinvestment of distributions. The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the Fund than the total returns. The Fund also includes voluntary fee waivers that may change or end at any time. The 7-Day current yield would have been -0.38% as of July 31, 2010.
