Fund Description

The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its net assets in high quality, short-term securities that are municipal obligations that pay interest exempt from federal and California income taxes. The Adviser seeks to maintain the Fund’s share price at $1.00. The share price remaining stable at $1.00 means that the Fund would preserve the principal value of your investment.
The Adviser generally invests substantially all of the Fund’s assets in California municipal obligations. The interest on these investments is exempt from California state and federal income tax. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities that pay interest income subject to the federal “alternative minimum tax,” and some taxpayers may have to pay tax on a Fund distribution of this income.
Municipal obligations are securities issued by state and local governments and their agencies. These securities typically are “general obligation” or “revenue” bonds, notes or commercial paper. Included within the revenue bonds category are participations in lease obligations, which may take the form of a lease or an installment purchase contract issued by public authorities.
The Fund’s investments may include tender option bonds and custodial receipts. Tender option bonds are municipal obligations held pursuant to a custodial arrangement and issued pursuant to an agreement with a third-party such as a bank or financial institution to provide the holder with the option of tendering the bond at periodic intervals. The holder of the tender option bond effectively holds a demand obligation that bears interest at prevailing short-term rates. Custodial receipts represent interests in future
interest and/or principal payments on U.S. government securities or municipal obligations. Additionally, the Fund may invest in investment companies, including money market funds, and may invest some or all of its short-term cash investments in any money market fund advised or managed by the Adviser or its affiliates.
The Fund may purchase debt obligations that have fixed, variable or floating rates of interest. The interest rates payable on variable rate or floating rate obligations may fluctuate based upon changes in market rates.
The Fund has a fundamental policy of normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities the interest on which is exempt from federal and California income tax. A fundamental policy may not be changed without shareholder approval.
The Fund may take temporary “defensive” positions that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market conditions, including when suitable municipal obligations are unavailable. The Fund may hold any portion of the Fund’s assets in cash or may invest any amount of its assets in taxable money market securities, non-California tax-exempt securities or in tax-exempt securities subject to the alternative minimum tax for individual shareholders when the Adviser believes it is advisable to do so. When the Fund makes such investments, a higher portion of the Fund’s distributions will likely be subject to California personal income tax, federal income tax and/or the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund will only purchase municipal obligations of other states that satisfy the same standards as set forth for the California tax-exempt securities.
The Fund operates as a “retail money market fund,” as such term is defined or interpreted under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). A “retail money market fund” is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. As a “retail money market fund,” the Fund may value its securities using the amortized cost method as permitted by Rule 2a-7 to seek to maintain a stable net asset value per share (“NAV”) of $1.00. Like other retail money market funds, the Fund is subject to the possible imposition of liquidity fees and/or redemption gates.
