of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Total annual fund operating expenses (excluding

reimbursements) will not exceed 0.20% (the “Fee Limit”) up to but not including the later of (the
“Termination Date”): (a) October 1, 2024; or (b) the date of the Funds next effective Prospectus.

Limit increased prior to the Termination Date with the agreement of the Trustees.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated
and then redeem or hold all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that
operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not reflect sales
charges (loads) on reinvested dividends. If these sales charges (loads) were
included, your costs would be higher. Although your actual costs and returns
may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year $ 25
3 Years $ 77
5 Years $135
10 Years $306
RISK/RETURN SUMMARY: INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE
What are the Fund’s Main Investment Strategies?
The Fund invests in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury and government securities
maturing in 397 days or less that pay interest exempt from state personal
income tax. The Fund may also hold cash, including cash earning interest at the
Fund’s custodian.
Certain of the government securities in which the Fund invests are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued
by the Federal Home Loan Bank System and Tennessee Valley Authority.
These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other
benefits. The Fund may also invest in government securities that are supported
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Finally, the Fund may invest
in government securities that are issued by entities whose activities are
sponsored by the federal government, but that have no explicit financial
support, including the Farm Credit System.
In pursuing its investment objective and implementing its investment
strategies, the Fund will comply with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (“Rule 2a-7”).
3
The Fund will operate as a “government money market fund,” as such term is
defined in or interpreted under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). “Government money market funds” are
required to invest at least 99.5% of their total assets in: (i) cash; (ii) securities
issued or guaranteed by the United States or certain U.S. government agencies
or instrumentalities; and/or (iii) repurchase agreements that are collateralized
fully. Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) in July 2023, government money market funds are not required to adopt
a liquidity fee framework.
Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest its assets so that at least 80%
of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in
government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by
government securities. The Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days in
advance of any change in this investment policy.
What are the Main Risks of Investing in the Fund?
All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, even though the Fund is a
money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable NAV, it is possible to lose
money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may negatively
impact the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable NAV, delay the payment of
redemptions by the Fund, or reduce the Fund’s daily dividends include:
Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when
interest rates rise. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy
made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level
of interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates magnify interest rate risk.
During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates,
the Fund’s yield (and total return) also is likely to be lower or the Fund may
be unable to maintain a positive return, or yield, or a stable NAV.
Issuer Credit Risk. It is possible that interest or principal on securities will
not be paid when due. Money market funds try to minimize this risk by
purchasing higher-quality securities.
Call Risk. The Fund’s performance may be adversely affected by the
possibility that an issuer of a security held by the Fund may redeem the
security prior to maturity at a price below its current market value.
Risk Associated with Investing Share Purchase Proceeds. On days during
which there are net purchases of Fund Shares, the Fund must invest the
proceeds at prevailing market yields or hold cash. If the Fund holds cash, or
if the yield of the securities purchased is less than that of the securities
already in the portfolio, the Fund’s yield will likely decrease. Conversely, net
purchases on days on which short-term yields rise will likely cause the
Fund’s yield to increase. In the event of significant changes in short-term
yields or significant net purchases, the Fund retains the discretion to close to
new investments. However, the Fund is not required to close, and no
assurance can be given that this will be done in any given circumstance.
4
Risk Associated with use of Amortized Cost. In the unlikely event that the
Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) were to determine, pursuant to
Rule 2a-7, that the extent of the deviation between the Fund’s amortized cost
per Share and its market-based NAV per Share may result in material
dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Board will cause the Fund
to take such action as it deems appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the
extent practicable such dilution or unfair results.
Additional Factors Affecting Yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund
will provide a certain level of income or that any such income will exceed
the rate of inflation. Further, the Fund’s yield will vary. Periods of very low
or negative interest rates impact, in a negative way, the Fund’s ability to
maintain a positive return, or yield, or pay dividends to Fund shareholders.
Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may
decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets in which the
Fund invests and/or other markets. Economic, political and financial
conditions, industry or economic trends and developments or public health
risks, such as epidemics or pandemics, may, from time to time, and for
varying periods of time, cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity,
shareholder redemptions or other potentially adverse effects.
Technology Risk. The Adviser uses various technologies in managing the
Fund, consistent with its investment objective(s) and strategy described in
this Prospectus. For example, proprietary and third-party data and systems
are utilized to support decision making for the Fund. Data imprecision,
software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies and
similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems, which
may negatively affect Fund performance.
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to
preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it
will do so. An investment in the Fund is not a bank account and is not insured
or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. The Fund’s sponsor is not required to reimburse the Fund
for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial
support to the Fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.
