Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and yields will fluctuate. The Fund's yield figures more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund than the total return figures. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Money market funds are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Other fees and expenses apply to an investment in the Fund and are described in the Fund's current prospectus.

The adviser has committed to certain fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Without these reductions, the Fund's seven-day current yield would have been -0.47%. These reductions may be discontinued.

OBJECTIVE

  |  The California Tax-Free Money Market Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax and California individual income tax, while preserving capital and liquidity.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES

  |  We actively manage a portfolio of high-quality, short-term municipal obligations that are issued by or on behalf of the state of California, its cities, municipalities, political subdivisions and other public authorities. These investments may have fixed, floating, or variable rates of interest. We may invest a portion of the Fund's total assets in the securities of territories and possessions of the U.S. or their political subdivisions and financing authorities, which provide income exempt from federal income tax and California individual income tax. We will only purchase First Tier securities.

Our security selection is based on several factors, including credit quality, yield and maturity, while taking into account the Fund's overall level of liquidity and average maturity.

A portion of the Fund's income may be subject to federal, state and/or local income taxes or the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.
