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 -0.14%. These reductions may be discontinued.

OBJECTIVE

  |  The Prime Investment Money Market Fund seeks current income, while preserving capital and liquidity.

PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES

  |  We actively manage a portfolio of high-quality, short-term, U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments. We will only purchase First Tier securities. These include, but are not limited to, bank obligations such as time deposits and certificates of deposit, government securities, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, corporate bonds and repurchase agreements. These investments may have fixed, floating, or variable rates of interest and may be obligations of U.S. or foreign issuers.

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.
