CHASE VISTA 100% U.S. TREASURY SECURITIES MONEY MARKET FUND

The Fund's
objective

The Fund aims to
provide the highest
possible level of
current income while
still maintaining
liquidity and providing
maximum safety of
principal.

The Fund's
main investment strategy

The Fund invests solely in direct debt securities of the U.S. Treasury, includ-
ing Treasury bills, bonds and notes. These investments carry different inter-
est rates, maturities and issue dates.

The Fund does not buy securities issued or guaranteed by agencies of the U.S.
government and it does not enter into repurchase agreements.

The dollar weighted average maturity of the Fund will be 90 days or less and
the Fund will buy only those investments which have remaining maturities of 397
days or less.


The Fund invests only in securities issued and payable in U.S. dollars. Each
investment must have the highest possible short-term rating from at least two
national rating organizations, or one such rating if only one organization
rates that security. Alternatively, some securities may have additional third
party guarantees in order to meet the rating requirements mentioned above.

If the security is not rated, it must be considered of comparable quality by
the Fund's advisers.

The Fund seeks to develop an appropriate portfolio by considering the
differences in yields among securities of different maturities and market
sectors.

The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

                                       1


CHASE VISTA 100% U.S. TREASURY SECURITIES MONEY MARKET FUND

The Fund may change any of its investment policies (except its investment
objective) without shareholder approval.[logo]

The Fund's main investment risks

The Fund attempts to keep its net asset value constant, but there's no
guarantee it will be able to do so.

The value of money market investments tends to fall when prevailing interest
rates rise, although they're generally less sensitive to interest rate changes
than longer-term securities.

Although the Fund seeks to be fully invested, it may at times hold some of its
assets in cash. This would hurt the Fund's performance.[logo]

Investments in the Fund are not bank deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed
or endorsed by, The Chase Manhattan Bank or any of its affiliates and are not
insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Although the 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market 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.

Securities in the Fund's portfolio may not earn as high a current income as
longer term or lower-quality securities.

The Fund's past performance

This section shows the Fund's performance record. The bar chart shows how the
performance of the Fund has varied from year to year. This provides some
indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

On May 3, 1996, the Hanover 100% Treasury Securities Money Market Fund merged
into the 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund. The Fund's
performance figures for the period before that date are for the Hanover fund.

The calculations assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested in
the Fund. Some of the companies that provide services to the Fund have agreed
not to collect some expenses and to reimburse others. Without these agreements,
the performance figures would be lower than those shown.[logo]

this Fund will perform in the future.

The actual 12b-1 Fee is currently expected to be 0.07%, Other Expenses are
expected to be 0.42% and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses are expected
not to exceed 0.59%. That's because The Chase Manhattan Bank (Chase) and some
of the Fund's other service providers have volunteered not to collect a portion
of their fees and to reimburse others. Chase and these other service providers
may terminate this arrangement at any time.

they invest through a financial institution.

the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes:

CHASE VISTA TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET FUND

The Fund's
objective

The Fund aims to
provide the highest
possible level of
current income while
still maintaining
liquidity and
preserving capital.

The Fund's
main investment strategy

The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in direct debt securities of the
U.S. Treasury, including Treasury bills, bonds and notes, and repurchase agree-
ments collateralized by these invest- ments. These debt securities carry dif-
ferent interest rates, maturities and issue dates.

The Fund also seeks to enhance its performance by investing in repurchase
agreements, using debt securities guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury as
collateral.

The dollar weighted average maturity of the Fund will be 60 days or less and
the Fund will buy only those instruments which have remaining maturities of 397
days or less.

The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The Fund may invest significantly in securities with floating or variable rates
of interest. Their yields will vary as interest rates change.


The Fund invests only in securities issued and payable in U.S. dollars. Each
investment must have the highest possible short-term rating from at least two
national rating organizations, or one such rating if only one organization
rates that security. Alternatively, some securities may have additional third
party guarantees in order to meet the rating requirements mentioned above. If
the security is not rated, it must be

CHASE VISTA TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET FUND

considered of comparable quality by the Fund's advisers.

The Fund seeks to develop an appropriate portfolio by considering the
differences in yields among securities of different maturities, market sectors
and issuers.

The Fund may change any of its investment policies (except its investment
objective) without shareholder approval.[logo]

The Fund's main investment risks

The Fund attempts to keep its net asset value constant, but there's no
guarantee it will be able to do so.

The value of money market investments tends to fall when prevailing interest
rates rise, although they're generally less sensitive to interest rate changes
than longer-term securities.

Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund if the other party does not
live up to its obligations under the agreement.

Although the Fund seeks to be fully invested, it may at times hold some of its
assets in cash. This would hurt the Fund's performance.[logo]

Investments in the Fund are not bank deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed
or endorsed by, The Chase Manhattan Bank or any of its affiliates and are not
insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Although the Treasury plus Money Market 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.

Securities in the Fund's portfolio may not earn as high a current income as
longer term or lower-quality securities.

The Fund's past performance

This section shows the Fund's performance record. The bar chart shows how the
performance of the Fund has varied from year to year. This provides some
indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The performance for the period before Vista Class shares were launched in May
1996 is based upon performance for Premier Class shares of the Fund. The actual
returns of Vista shares would have been lower than shown because Vista shares
have higher expenses than Premier shares.

The calculations assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested in
the Fund. Some of the companies that provide services to the Fund have agreed
not to collect some expenses and to reimburse others. Without these agreements,
the performance figures would be lower than those shown.[logo]

o debt securities that certain U.S. government agencies or authorities have
  either issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest.

The Fund does not enter into repurchase agreements. The dollar weighted average

CHASE VISTA U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND

The Fund's
objective

The Fund aims to
provide the highest
possible level of
current income while
still maintaining
liquidity and
preserving capital.

The Fund's
main investment strategy

The Fund invests substantially all its assets in:

o debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or agencies or
  authorities of the U.S. Government, and

o repurchase agreements using these securities as collateral.

The dollar weighted average maturity of the Fund will be 60 days or less and
the Fund will buy only those instruments which have remaining maturities of 397
days or less.

The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The Fund may invest significantly in securities with floating or variable rates
of interest. Their yields will vary as interest rates change.


The Fund invests only in securities issued and payable in U.S. dollars. Each
investment must have the highest possible short-term rating from at least two
national rating organizations, or one such rating if only one organization
rates that security. Alternatively, some securities may have additional third
party guarantees in order to meet the rating requirements mentioned above. If
the security is not rated, it must be considered of comparable quality by the
Fund's advisers.


                                       13


CHASE VISTA U.S. GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND

The Fund seeks to develop an appropriate portfolio by considering the
differences in yields among securities of different maturities, market sectors
and issuers.

The Fund may change any of its investment policies (except its investment
objective) without shareholder approval.[logo]

The Fund's main investment risks

The Fund attempts to keep its net asset value constant, but there's no
guarantee it will be able to do so.

The value of money market investments tends to fall when prevailing interest
rates rise, although they're generally less sensitive to interest rate changes
than longer-term securities.

Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund if the other party does not
live up to its obligations under the agreement.

Although the Fund seeks to be fully invested, it may at times hold some of its
assets in cash. This would hurt the Fund's performance.[logo]

Investments in the Fund are not bank deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed
or endorsed by, The Chase Manhattan Bank or any of its affiliates and are not
insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Although the U.S. Government Money Market 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.

Securities in the Fund's portfolio may not earn as high a current income as
longer term or lower-quality securities.

The Fund's past performance
This section shows the Fund's performance record. The bar chart shows how the
performance of the Fund has varied from year to year. This provides some
indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The performance for the period before Vista Class shares were launched in
January 1993 is based upon performance for Premier Class shares of the Fund.
The actual returns of Vista shares would have been lower than shown because
Vista shares have higher expenses than Premier shares.

The calculations assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested in
the Fund. Some of the companies that provide services to the Fund have agreed
not to collect some expenses and to reimburse others. Without these agreements,
the performance figures would be lower than those shown.[logo]

YEAR-BY-YEAR RETURNS
Past performance does not predict how
this Fund will perform in the future.

The bars for 1989-1992 are based upon performance for Premier Class Shares of
the Fund.

CHASE VISTA CASH MANAGEMENT FUND

The Fund's
objective

The Fund aims to
provide the highest
possible level of
current income while
still maintaining
liquidity and
preserving capital.

The Fund's
main investment strategy

The Fund invests in high quality, short-term money market instruments which
are issued and payable in U.S. dollars.

The Fund principally invests in:

o high quality commercial paper and other short-term debt securities, including
  floating and variable rate demand notes of U.S. and foreign corporations

o debt securities issued or guaranteed by qualified banks. These are:

  o U.S. banks with more than $1 billion in total assets and foreign branches of
    these banks

  o foreign banks with the equivalent of more than $10 billion in total assets
    and which have branches or agencies in the U.S.

  o other U.S. or foreign commercial banks which the Fund's advisers judge to
    have comparable credit standing

o securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
  authorities

o asset-backed securities

o repurchase agreements.

The dollar weighted average maturity of the Fund will be 90 days or less and
the Fund will buy only those instruments which have remaining maturities of 397
days or less.

                                       17


CHASE VISTA CASH MANAGEMENT FUND

The Fund may invest any portion of its assets in debt securities issued or
guaranteed by U.S. banks and their foreign branches. These include certificates
of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances.

The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.


The Fund invests only in securities issued and payable in U.S. dollars. Each
investment must have the highest possible short-term rating from at least two
national rating organizations, or one such rating if only one organization

The Fund's main investment risks

The Fund attempts to keep its net asset value constant, but there's no
guarantee it will be able to do so.

The value of money market investments tends to fall when prevailing interest
rates rise, although they're generally less sensitive to interest rate changes
than longer-term securities.

Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund if the other party does not
live up to its obligations under the agreement.

The Fund's ability to concentrate its investments in the banking industry could
increase risks. The profitability of banks depends largely on the availability
and cost of funds, which can change depending upon economic conditions. Banks
are also exposed to losses if borrowers get into financial trouble and can't
repay their loans.

Investments in foreign banks and other foreign issuers may be riskier than
investments in the United States. That could be, in part, because of difficulty
converting investments into cash, political and economic instability, the
imposition of government controls, or regulations that don't match U.S.
standards.

Although the Fund seeks to be fully invested, it may at times hold some of its
assets in cash. This would hurt the Fund's performance.[logo]

Investments in the Fund are not bank deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed
or endorsed by, The Chase Manhattan Bank or any of its affiliates and are not

CHASE VISTA TAX FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

The Fund's
objective

The Fund aims to
provide the highest
possible level of
current income
which is excluded
from gross income
(for federal income
tax purposes), while
still preserving
capital and
maintaining liquidity.

The Fund's
main investment strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will try to invest 100% of its assets
in municipal obligations, the interest on which is excluded from gross income
(for federal income tax purposes) and which is not subject to the alternative
minimum tax on individuals.

As a fundamental policy, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in
municipal obligations. The remaining 20% of total assets may be invested in
securities which are subject to federal income tax or the federal alternative
minimum tax for individuals. To temporarily defend its assets, the Fund may
exceed this limit.

The Fund may also invest in municipal lease obligations. These provide
participation in municipal lease agreements and installment purchase contracts.


The Fund invests only in securities issued and payable in U.S. dollars.


Each investment must have the highest possible short-term rating from at least
two national rating organizations, or one such rating if only one organization
rates that security. Alternatively, some securities may have additional third
party guarantees in order to meet the rating requirements mentioned above. If
the security is not rated, it must be considered of comparable quality by the
Fund's advisers.


                                       28




The dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund will be 90 days or less and
the Fund will buy only those investments which have remaining maturities of 397
days or less.

The Fund seeks to develop an appropriate portfolio by considering the
differences in yields among securities of different maturities, market sectors
and issuers.

The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The Fund may change any of its non-fundamental investment policies (except its
investment objective) without shareholder approval.[logo]

The Fund's main investment risks

The Fund attempts to keep its net asset value constant, but there's no
guarantee it will be able to do so.

The value of money market investments tends to fall when prevailing interest
rates rise, although they're generally less sensitive to interest rate changes
than longer-term securities.

Changes in a municipality's financial health may make it difficult for the
municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. A number of
municipalities have had significant financial problems recently. This could
decrease the Fund's income or hurt its ability to preserve capital and
liquidity.

Investments in the Fund are not bank deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed
or endorsed by, The Chase Manhattan Bank or any of its affiliates and are not
insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other gov- ernment agency.
Although the Tax Free Money Market 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.

Securities in the Fund's portfolio may not earn as high a current income as
longer term or lower-quality securities.

                                       29


CHASE VISTA TAX FREE MONEY MARKET FUND


Under some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless
the state or municipal legislature authorizes money for that purpose. Some
securities, including municipal lease obligations, carry additional risks. For
example, they may be difficult to trade or interest payments may be tied only
to a specific stream of revenue.

Since some municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and
other institutions, the risk to the Fund could increase if the banking or
financial sector suffers an economic downturn.


Interest on certain municipal obligations is subject to the federal alternate
minimum tax. Normally, up to 20% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in
securities that are subject to this tax. Consult your tax professional for more
information.


The Fund may invest in municipal obligations backed by foreign institutions.
This could carry more risk than securities backed by U.S. institutions because
of political and economic instability, the imposition of government controls,
or regulations that don't match U.S. standards.

The Fund is not diversified. It may invest a greater percentage of its assets
in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. That
makes it more susceptible to economic problems among the institutions issuing
the securities. In addition, more than 25% of the Fund's assets may be invested
in securities which rely on similar projects for their income stream. As a
result, the Fund could be more susceptible to developments which affect those
projects.


Although the Fund seeks to be fully invested, it may at times hold some of its
assets in cash. This would hurt the Fund's performance.[logo]

The Fund's past performance

This section shows the Fund's performance record. The bar chart shows how the
performance of the Fund has varied from year to year. This provides some
indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The calculations assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested in
the Fund. Some of the companies that provide services to the Fund have agreed
not to collect some expenses and to reimburse others. Without these agreements,
the performance figures would be lower than those shown.[logo]

CHASE VISTA NEW YORK TAX FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

The Fund's
objective

The Fund aims to
provide the highest
possible level of
current income
which is excluded
from gross income
and exempt from
New York State and
New York City
personal income
taxes, while still
preserving capital
and maintaining
liquidity.

The Fund's
main investment strategy

The Fund will generally invest at least 65% of its assets in New York munici-
pal obligations, the interest of which is exempt from gross income and exempt
from New York State and New York City personal income taxes. The exact
percentage will vary from time to time. New York municipal obligations are
municipal obligations issued by New York State, its political subdivisions,
Puerto Rico, other U.S. territories and their political subdivisions.

When suitable New York municipal obligations are unavailable, the Fund may buy
municipal obligations issued by other states. These are generally subject to New
York State and New York City personal income taxes.

As a fundamental policy, under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest
at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations, the interest on which is
excluded from gross income and which is not subject to the federal alternate
minimum tax on individuals. The remaining 20% of its total assets may be
invested in securities paying interest which is subject to federal income tax
or to the alternate minimum tax on individuals. To temporarily defend its
assets, the Fund may exceed this limit.

The Fund may also invest in municipal lease obligations. These provide
participation in municipal lease agreements and installment purchase contracts.

Although the Fund seeks to be fully invested, it may at times hold some of its
assets in cash. This would hurt the Fund's performance.[logo]

Investments in the Fund are not bank deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed
or endorsed by, The Chase Manhattan Bank or any of its affiliates and are not
insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Although the California Money Market 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.

Securities in the Fund's portfolio may not earn as high a current income as
longer term or lower-quality securities.

The Fund's past performance

This section shows the Fund's performance record. The bar chart shows how the
performance of the Fund has varied from year to year. This provides some
indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The calculations assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested in
the Fund. Some of the companies that provide services to the Fund have agreed
not to collect some expenses and to reimburse others. Without these agreements,
the performance figures would be lower than those shown.[logo]

THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT ADVISER

THE YEAR 2000
The Fund, like any business,
could be affected if the
computer systems on which
it relies fail to properly pro-
cess information beginning
on January 1, 2000. The
Fund's advisers are updating
their own systems and
encouraging service providers
to do the same, but
there's no guarantee these
systems will work properly.
Year 2000 problems could
also hurt issuers whose
securities the Funds hold or
securities markets generally.

The Funds' investment adviser

The Chase Manhattan Bank (Chase) is the investment adviser to the Fund. Chase
is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Corporation (CMC), a bank
holding company. Chase provides the Funds with investment advice and
supervision. Chase and its predecessors have more than a century of money
management experience. Chase is located at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York
10017.


For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999, Chase was paid a management fee of
0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund other than the California
Tax Free Money Market Fund. Chase was not paid an advisory fee with respect to
the California Tax Free Money Market Fund.


Chase Asset Management, Inc. (CAM) is the sub-adviser to every Fund except the
Cash Management Fund and the Tax Free Money Market Fund. CAM is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Chase. It makes the day-to-day investment decisions for the
Funds. CAM provides discretionary investment advisory services to
institutional clients. CAM is located at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, New
York, New York 10036.

                                       43


HOW YOUR ACCOUNT WORKS

Buying Fund shares

You don't pay any sales charge (sometimes called a load) when you buy shares in
these funds. Unlike the other money market funds in the prospectus, the Prime
Money Market Fund also offers two additional classes of shares: Class B and
Class C. You may have to pay a deferred sales charge when you sell Class B or
Class C shares of the Prime Money Market Fund, depending on how long you've
held them.

You may buy B shares of the Prime Money Market Fund by exchanging from Class B
shares of another Chase Vista Fund. You may buy them directly if you establish
a program to systematically exchange into Class B shares of one or more Chase
Vista Funds within 24 months.

The price you pay for your shares is the net asset value per share (NAV). NAV
is the value of everything the Fund owns, minus everything it owes, divided by
the number of shares held by investors. All of these Funds seek to maintain a
stable NAV of $1.00. Each Fund uses the amortized cost to value its portfolio
of securities. This method provides more stability in valuations. However, it
may also result in periods during which the stated value of a security is
different than the price the Fund would receive if it sold the investment.

                                       44



The NAV of each class of shares is generally calculated by 6:00 pm Eastern time
each day the funds are accepting purchase orders. You'll pay the next NAV
calculated after the Chase Vista Funds Service Center receives your order in
proper form. An order is in proper form only after funds are converted into
federal funds.


The center accepts purchase orders on any business day that the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and the New York Stock Exchange are open. If you send us an
order in proper form by the Fund's cut-off time, we'll process your order at
that day's price and you'll be entitled to all dividends declared on that day.
If we receive your order after the cut-off time, we'll generally process it at
the next day's price, but for 100% U.S. Treasury Securities, Tax Free and
Federal Money Market Fund orders we may process it the same day if we receive
it after cut off but before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). If you pay by check
before the cut-off time, we'll generally process your order the next day the
Fund is open for business. Normally, the cut-off (in Eastern time) is:

- ------------------------------------



A later cut-off time may be permitted for investors buying shares (through
Chase or a bank affiliate of Chase) so long as such later cut-off time is
before the Fund's NAV is calculated.

If you buy through an agent and not directly from the Chase Vista Funds Service
Center, the agent could set earlier cut-off times. The Funds may close earlier
a few days each year if the Public Securities Association recommends that the
U.S. Government securities market close trading early.


You must provide a SSN or Taxpayer Identification Number when you open an
account.

The Funds have the right to reject any purchase order.

Make your check out to Chase Vista Funds in U.S. dollars. We won't accept
credit cards, cash, or checks from a third party. You cannot sell shares you
bought by check for 15 calendar days. If you buy through an Automated Clearing
House, you can't sell your shares until the payment clears. This could take
more than seven business days. Your purchase will be canceled if your check
doesn't clear and you'll be responsible for any expenses and losses to the
Funds. Orders by wire will be canceled if the Chase Vista Funds Service Center
doesn't receive payment by 4:00 Eastern time on the day you buy.

Selling Fund shares

You can sell your shares on any day the Chase Vista Funds Service Center is

representative. You'll receive the next NAV calculated after the Chase Vista
Funds Service Center accepts your order.

Under normal circumstances, if your request is received before the Fund's
cut-off time, the Fund will send you the proceeds the same business day. We
won't accept an order to sell shares if the Fund hasn't collected your payment
for the shares. The Fund may stop accepting orders to sell and may postpone
payments for more than seven days, as federal securities laws permit.

                                       46


You'll need to have your signature guaranteed if you want your payment sent to
an address other than the one we have in our records. We may also need
additional documents or a letter from a surviving joint owner before selling
the shares.

necessary documents to the Chase Vista Funds Service Center. Your

Distribution Arrangements

CLASS B SHARES
There is no initial sales charge to buy Class B shares, but you may have to pay
a deferred sales charge. The deferred sales charge is deducted directly from
your assets when you sell your shares. It's a percentage of the original
purchase price or the current value of the shares, whichever is lower. As the
table shows, the deferred sales charge gets lower the longer you hold the
shares and disappears altogether after six years. Class B shares automatically
convert into Vista shares at the beginning of the ninth year after you bought
them.



YEAR     DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
        
- -----------------
  1        5%
- -----------------
  2        4%
- -----------------
  3        3%
- -----------------
  4        3%
- -----------------
  5        2%
- -----------------
  6        1%
- -----------------
  7        NONE
- -----------------
  8        NONE
- -----------------


We calculate the deferred sales charge from the month you buy your shares. We
always sell the shares with the lowest deferred sales charge first. Shares
acquired by reinvestment of distribution can be sold without a deferred sales
charge.

CLASS C SHARES
There is no initial sales charge to buy Class C shares, but you will have to
pay a deferred sales charge of 1% if you sell your shares within one year of
buying them. The deferred sales charge is deducted directly from your assets
when you

                                       47


HOW YOUR ACCOUNT WORKS

sell your shares. It's a percentage of the original purchase price or the
current value of the shares, whichever is lower. Class C shares are not
converted into any other class of shares so you pay a higher distribution fee
for as long as you own your shares.

GENERAL
These shares have higher expenses each year, so you should only buy Class B and
Class C shares in conjunction with a plan to invest in Chase Vista's stock and
bond Funds.

Vista Fund Distributors Inc. (VFD) is the distributor for the Funds. It is a
subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc. and is not affiliated with Chase. With the
exception of the Cash Management Fund and the Prime Money Market Fund, all of
the Funds have adopted Rule 12b-1 distribution plans under which they pay up to
0.10% of their Vista Class assets in distributor fees. The Prime Money Market
Fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 distribution plans under which it pays annual
distributor fees of up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributed to
Class B and Class C shares.

These payments cover such things as payments for services provided by
broker-dealers and expenses connected to sale of shares. Payments are not tied
to the amount of actual expenses incurred. Because 12b-1 expenses are paid out
of a fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the
cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales
charges.[logo]

Other information concerning the funds

We may close your account if the balance falls below $500 because you've sold
shares. We may also close the account if you are in the Systematic Investment
Plan and fail to meet investment minimums over a 12-month period. We'll give
you 60 days notice before closing your account.

Unless you indicate otherwise on your account application, we are authorized to
act on redemption and transfer instructions received by phone. If someone
trades on your account by phone, we'll ask that person to confirm your account
registration and address to make sure they match those you provided us. If they
give us the correct information, we are generally authorized to follow that
person's instructions. We'll take all reasonable precautions to confirm that
the instructions are genuine. Investors agree that they will not hold the Fund
liable for any loss or expenses from any sales request, if the Fund takes
reasonable precautions. The Fund will be liable for any losses to you from an
unauthorized sale or fraud against you if we do not follow reasonable
procedures. Telephone redemption requests of more than $25,000 will only be
sent by electronic transfer or wire to the bank account you have on record with
the Fund. There is a $10 charge for each wire transaction.

                                       48


You may not always reach the Chase Vista Funds Service Center by telephone.
This may be true at times of unusual market changes and shareholder activity.
You can mail us your instructions or contact your investment representative or
agent. We may modify or cancel the sale of shares by phone without notice.

The Trust has agreements with certain shareholder servicing agents (including
Chase) under which the shareholder servicing agents have agreed to provide
certain support services to their customers. For performing these services,
each shareholder servicing agent receives an annual fee of up to 0.35% of the
average daily net assets of the Vista Shares of each Fund, and up to 0.25% of
the average daily net assets of the Class B and Class C shares of Prime Money
Market Fund, held by investors serviced by the shareholder servicing agent. The
Board of Trustees has determined that the amount payable for "service fees" (as
defined by the NASD) does not exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets
attributable to the Vista Shares of each Fund.

Chase and/or VFD may, at their own expense, make additional payments to certain
selected dealers or other shareholder servicing agents for performing
administrative services for their customers. The amount may be up to an
additional 0.10% annually of the average net assets of the fund attributable to
shares of the Fund held by customers of those shareholder servicing agents.

Each Fund may issue multiple classes of shares. This prospectus relates only to
Vista Class shares of the Funds and Class B and Class C shares of the Prime
Money Market Fund. Each class may have different requirements for who may
invest, and may have different sales charges and expense levels. A person who
gets compensated for selling Fund shares may receive a different amount for
each class.

Chase and its affiliates and the Funds and their affiliates, agents and
subagents may share information about shareholders and their accounts with each
other and with others unless this sharing is prohibited by contract. This
information can be used for a variety of purposes, including offering
investment and insurance products to shareholders.[logo]

Distributions and taxes

The Funds can earn income and they can realize capital gain. The Funds will
deduct from these earnings any expenses and then pay to shareholders the
distributions.

The Funds declare dividends daily, so your shares can start earning dividends
on the day you buy them. We distribute the dividends monthly in the form of
additional shares, unless you tell us that you want payment in cash or
deposited in a pre-assigned bank account. The taxation of dividends won't be
affected by the form in which you receive them. We distribute any short-term
capital gain at least

                                       49


HOW YOUR ACCOUNT WORKS

annually. The Funds do not expect to realize long-term capital gain.

Dividends are usually taxable as ordinary income at the federal, state and
local levels. Dividends of tax-exempt interest income by the Tax Free Funds are
not subject to federal income taxes but will generally be subject to state and
local taxes. The state or municipality where you live may not charge you state
and local taxes on tax-exempt interest earned on certain bonds. Dividends
earned on bonds issued by the U.S. government and its agencies may also be
exempt from some types of state and local taxes.

If you receive distributions of net capital gain, the tax rate will be based on
how long the Fund held a particular asset, not on how long you have owned your
shares.

Early in each calendar year, the Funds will send you a notice showing the
amount of distributions you received in the preceding year and the tax status
of those distributions.

The above is only a general summary of tax implications of investing in these
Funds. Please consult your tax advisor to see how investing in the Funds will
affect your own tax situation.[logo]

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

CHECK WRITING
Check writing privileges are available for the Vista shares. Each check you
write must be for at least $500. Checks written on joint accounts require only
one signature.

SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
This is an easy way to make regular investments. The minimum investment in any
one fund is $100. You decide which Funds you want and how much to invest and
the amount is automatically deducted from your bank account, either monthly or
quarterly.

You can set up a plan when you open an account by completing Section 8 of the
application. Current shareholders can join by sending a signed letter and a
deposit slip or void check from their bank account to the Chase Vista Funds
Service Center. Call 1-800-34-VISTA for complete instructions.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN
This plan lets you make regular withdrawals from your Chase Vista Funds
account. For Class A, you must sell at least $50 worth of shares at a time. For
Class B or C shares, you must sell a minimum of $100. You can have automatic
withdrawals made monthly, quarterly or semiannually. Your account must contain
at least $5,000 of Class A shares or $20,000 of Class B or C shares to start
the plan. Call 1-800-34-VISTA for complete instructions.

                                       51


SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

You can sell up to 12% of the value of Class B shares each year through the
Systematic Withdrawal Plan without paying a deferred sales charge. Your Class B
account must have a minimum balance of $20,000 when the plan is set up to enjoy
this privilege.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
You can exchange your Vista shares for shares in certain other Chase Vista
funds. You can exchange Class B and C shares of the Prime Money Market Fund for
shares of the same class of another Chase Vista Fund. For tax purposes, an
exchange is treated as a sale of Fund shares. Carefully read the prospectus of
the fund you want to buy before making an exchange. You'll need to meet any
minimum investment requirements and may have to pay a sales charge. Call
1-800-34-VISTA for details.

You can also set up a systematic exchange program to automatically exchange
shares on a regular basis. It's a free service.

You should not exchange shares as means of short-term trading as this could
increase management cost and affect all shareholders. We reserve the right to
limit the number of exchanges or to refuse an exchange. We may also terminate
this privilege. We charge an administration fee of $5 for each exchange if you
make more than 10 exchanges in a year or three in a quarter. See the Statement
of Additional Information to find out more about the exchange privilege.

You cannot have simultaneous plans for the systematic investment or exchange
and the systematic withdrawal or exchange for the same fund.

EXCHANGE BY PHONE
You may also use our Telephone Exchange Privilege. You can get information by
contacting the Chase Vista Funds Service Center or your investment
representative.[logo]

What the terms mean

COMMERCIAL PAPER: Short-term securities with maturities of 1 to 270 days which
are issued by banks, corporations and others.

DEMAND NOTES: A debt security with no set maturity date. The investor can
generally demand payment of the principal at any time.

DISTRIBUTION FEE: Covers the cost of the distribution system used to sell
shares to the public.

DOLLAR WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY: The average maturity of the Fund is the
average amount of time until the organizations that issued the debt securities
in the Fund's portfolio must pay off the principal amount of the debt. "Dollar
weighted" means the larger the dollar value of debt security in the Fund, the
more weight it gets in calculating this average.

FLOATING RATE SECURITIES: Securities whose interest rates adjust automatically
whenever a particular interest rate changes.

LIQUIDITY: Liquidity is the ability to easily convert investments into cash
without losing a significant amount of money in the process.

MANAGEMENT FEE: A fee paid to the investment adviser to manage the Fund and
make decisions about buying and selling the Fund's investments.

MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS: These provide participation in municipal lease
agreements and installment purchase contracts, but are not part of the general
obligations of the municipality.

MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS: Debt securities issued by or on behalf of states,
territories and possessions or by their agencies or other groups with authority
to act for them. For securities to qualify as municipal obligations, the
municipality's lawyers must give an opinion that the interest on them is not
considered gross income for federal income tax purposes.

OTHER EXPENSES: Miscellaneous items, including transfer agency, administration,
shareholder servicing, custody and registration fees.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: A special type of a short-term investment. A dealer
sells securities to a Fund and agrees to buy them back later for a set price.
This set price includes interest. In effect, the dealer is borrowing the Fund's
money for a short time, using the securities as collateral.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICE FEE: A fee to cover the cost of paying shareholder
servicing agents to provide certain support services for your account.

VARIABLE RATE SECURITIES: Securities whose interest rates are periodically
adjusted.[logo]
