The investment adviser and its affiliates have agreed to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and certain non-routine
expenses) of the Select Shares and Institutional Shares to 0.35% and 0.24%, respectively, through 4/29/14 (the contractual expense limitation agreement). This contractual expense limitation agreement may only be amended or terminated
with the approval of the funds Board of Trustees. Non-routine expenses that are not subject to the foregoing contractual expense limitation agreement include, but are not limited to, any reimbursement payments made by a share class
to the investment adviser and/or its affiliates of fund fees and expenses that were previously waived or reimbursed by the investment adviser and/or its affiliates in order to maintain a positive net yield for the share class (the voluntary
yield waiver). As of the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, the investment adviser and/or its affiliates waived fees in the amount of $1,261,119 for the Select Shares and $201,204 for the Institutional Shares under the voluntary yield
waiver. Any future reimbursement of these previously waived fees made by the Select Shares and/or Institutional Shares to the investment adviser and/or its affiliates may cause the total annual fund operating expenses of the Select Shares and/or
Institutional Shares to exceed the expense limitation under the contractual expense limitation agreement. If any actual or scheduled reimbursement payments to the investment adviser
|
|
and/or its affiliates under the voluntary fee waiver materially impact the total annual fund operating expenses of the Select Shares and/or Institutional Shares, this fee table will be amended to
reflect that impact.
|
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in each share class with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a share class for
the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those time periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that each share class operating expenses through 4/29/14 are the same
as those shown above as total annual fund operating expenses after expense reduction and for all subsequent periods are the same as those shown above as total annual fund operating expenses. The expenses would be the same whether you stayed in the
fund or sold your shares at the end of each period. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Principal investment strategies
To pursue its goal, the fund invests in high-quality short-term money market investments issued by U.S. and foreign issuers, such as:
|
|
|
commercial paper, including asset-backed commercial paper
|
|
|
|
certificates of deposit and time deposits
|
|
|
|
variable- and floating-rate debt securities
|
|
|
|
bank notes and bankers acceptances
|
|
|
|
obligations that are issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, including obligations that are not guaranteed by the
U.S. Treasury, such as those issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (U.S. government securities)
|
All of these investments will be denominated in U.S. dollars, including those that are issued by
foreign issuers. Obligations that are issued by private issuers that are guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities are considered U.S. government securities under the rules that govern
money market funds.
In choosing securities, the funds manager seeks to maximize current income within the limits of the funds
investment objective and credit, maturity and diversification policies. Some of these policies may be stricter than the federal regulations that apply to all money funds. Certain of the funds securities are subject to credit or liquidity
enhancements, which are designed to provide incremental levels of creditworthiness or liquidity.
The investment advisers credit research
department analyzes and monitors the securities that the fund owns or is considering buying. The manager may adjust the funds holdings or its average maturity based on actual or anticipated changes in interest rates or credit quality. To
preserve its investors capital, the fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
Principal risks
The fund is subject to risks, any of which could cause an investor to lose money. The funds principal risks include:
Investment Risk.
Your investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the
fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
Interest
Rate Risk.
Interest rates rise and fall over time. As with any investment whose yield reflects current interest rates, the funds yield will change over time. During periods when interest rates are low, the funds yield (and total
return) also will be low. In addition, to the extent a share class makes any reimbursement payments to the investment adviser and/or its affiliates, the share classs yield would be lower.
Counter-Party Risk.
When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, the fund is exposed to the risk that the other party (i.e., the
counter-party) will not fulfill its contractual obligation. In a repurchase agreement, there exists the risk that, when the fund buys a security from a counter-party that agrees to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price (usually higher) and
time, the counter-party will not repurchase the security.
Credit Risk.
The fund is subject to the risk that a decline in the
credit quality of a portfolio investment could cause the fund to lose money or underperform. The fund could lose money if the issuer of a portfolio investment fails to make timely principal or interest payments or if a guarantor, liquidity provider
or counterparty of a portfolio investment fails to honor its obligations. Even though the funds investments in repurchase agreements are collateralized at all times, there is some risk to the fund if the other party should default on its
obligations and the fund is delayed or prevented from recovering or disposing of the collateral. Negative perceptions of the ability of an issuer, guarantor, liquidity provider or counterparty to make payments or otherwise honor its obligations, as
applicable, could also cause the price of that investment to decline. The credit quality of the funds portfolio holdings can change
rapidly in certain market environments and any downgrade or default on the part of a single portfolio investment could cause the funds share price or yield to fall.
Many of the U.S. government securities that the fund invests in are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, which
means they are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Although maintained in conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency since September 2008, Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) maintain only limited lines of
credit with the U.S. Treasury. The Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB) also only maintain limited access to credit lines from the U.S. Treasury. Other securities, such as obligations issued by the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation
(FFCB), are supported solely by the credit of the issuer. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to securities of its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so under law. Also, any
government guarantees on securities the fund owns do not extend to shares of the fund itself.
Foreign Investment Risk.
The
funds investments in securities of foreign issuers or securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by foreign entities may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of
U.S. issuers or securities with credit or liquidity enhancements provided by U.S. entities. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; differing accounting, auditing, financial
reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. In addition, sovereign risk, or the risk that a government may become unwilling or unable to meet its loan obligations or guarantees,
could increase the credit risk of financial institutions connected to that particular country.
Management Risk.
Any actively
managed mutual fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will make poor security selections. The funds investment adviser applies its own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the fund, but
there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results. The investment advisers maturity decisions will also affect the funds yield, and in unusual circumstances potentially could affect its share price. To the extent that
the investment adviser anticipates interest rate trends imprecisely, the funds yield at times could lag those of other money market funds.
Liquidity Risk.
Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. The market for certain investments may
become illiquid due to specific adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or under adverse market or economic conditions independent of the issuer. The funds investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the fund
because it may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Further, transactions in illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Redemption Risk.
The fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune
times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large investors in the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the funds ability to maintain a stable
$1.00 share price. In the

event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value, other money market funds, including the fund, could face a market-wide risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially
jeopardizing the stability of their $1.00 share prices.
Regulatory Risk.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other
regulators may adopt additional money market fund regulations in the future, which may impact the operation and performance of the fund.
Money Market Risk.
The fund is not designed to offer capital appreciation. In exchange for their emphasis on stability and liquidity, money
market investments may offer lower long-term performance than stock or bond investments.
