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,
including Treasury bills, bonds and notes. These investments carry different
interest 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.
The Fund may change any of its investment policies (except its investment
objective) without shareholder approval.[logo]

CHASE VISTA 100% U.S. TREASURY SECURITIES MONEY MARKET FUND
The 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.
The performance for the period before Institutional Class Shares were launched
in June of 1996 is based upon the performance for the Vista Class Shares of 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]
YEAR-BY-YEAR RETURNS
Past performance does not predict how this Fund will perform in the future. The
bars for 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996 are based upon the performance for the
Vista Class Shares of the Fund.

CHASE VISTA TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET FUND
The Fund's
objective

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
agreements collateralized by their investments. These debt securities carry

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
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, market sectors
and issuers.
The Fund may change any of its investment policies (except its investment
objective) without shareholder approval.[logo]
18
The 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
insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Although the Cash Management 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.

CHASE VISTA PRIME 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 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 60 days or less and
the Fund will buy only those instruments which have remaining maturities of 397
days or less.
22
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 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, 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 investment policies (except its investment
objective) without shareholder approval.[logo]
23
CHASE VISTA PRIME MONEY MARKET FUND
The 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
insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
Although the Prime 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 Institutional Class Shares were launched
in April of 1994 is based upon the performance for the Premier Class Shares of
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 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,
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
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.
27
CHASE VISTA TAX FREE MONEY MARKET FUND
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 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.
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.
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 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.
28
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]

FUND'S INVESTMENT ADVISER
Fund's 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, NY 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.
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, NY 10036.
THE YEAR 2000
The Fund, like any business, could be affected if the computer systems on which
it relies fail to properly process 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.
32
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. 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.
The NAV of each class of shares is generally calculated by 6:00 p.m. 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.
Only qualified investors can buy these shares. The list of qualified investors
includes institutions, trusts, partnerships, corporations, retirement plans and
fiduciary accounts opened by banks, trust companies or thrift institutions
which exercise investment authority over such accounts, as well as individuals
who meet a Fund's minimum investment requirements for these shares. Your
financial service firm may not offer these
33
HOW YOUR ACCOUNT WORKS
shares to all types of qualified investors and may set additional investor
qualification requirements for these shares.
You can buy shares only through financial service firms, such as broker-dealers
and banks that have an agreement with the Funds. Shares are available on any
business day the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the New York Stock
Exchange are open. If we receive your order 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 that day. If we receive your order after the cut-off time, we'll
generally process it at the next day's price, but we may process it that day if
we receive it before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time). Normally, the cut-off (in
Eastern time) is:
- ----------------------------------------
100% U.S. TREASURY

A later cut-off time may be permitted for investors buying their 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.
All purchases of Institutional shares must be paid for by federal funds wire.
If the Chase Vista Funds Service Center does not receive federal funds by 4:00
p.m. Eastern time on the day of the order, the order will be canceled. Any
funds received in connection with late orders will be invested on the following
business day.
You must provide a Taxpayer Identification Number when you open an account.
The Funds have the right to reject any purchase order.

MINIMUM INVESTMENTS
Investors must buy a minimum $1,000,000 worth of Institutional Shares in a Fund
to open an account. There are no minimum levels for subsequent purchases, but
you must always have an average of $1,000,000 in your account.
Your financial service firm may charge you a fee and may offer additional
services, such as special purchase redemption programs, "sweep" programs, cash
advances and redemption checks. Your firm may set different minimum investments
and earlier cut-off times.[logo]
34
Selling Fund shares
When you sell your shares you'll receive the next NAV calculated after the
Chase Funds Service Center accepts your order in proper form. We ask that you
tell us early in the day if you plan to sell your shares so we can effectively
manage the Funds.
We will need the names of the registered shareholders and the your account
number before we can sell your shares. We will wire the proceeds from the sale
to your bank account on the same day if we receive your request before the
later of the Fund's cut-off time or 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. The money will be
wired the next day for requests we receive after this deadline. Federal law
allows the Funds to suspend a sale or postpone payment for more than seven
business days under unusual circumstances.[logo]
SELLING SHARES
Through your financial service firms
Tell your firm which Funds you want to sell. They'll send all necessary
documents to the Chase Vista Funds Service Center.
Through the Vista Service Center
Call 1-800-62-CHASE. We'll send the proceeds by wire only to the bank account
on our records. We charge $10 for each transaction by wire.[logo]
Other information concerning the funds
We may close your account if the balance falls below $1,000,000. 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.
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.
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.
35
HOW YOUR ACCOUNT WORKS
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 0.10% of the
average daily net assets of the Institutional Shares of each Fund held by
investors serviced by the shareholder servicing agent.
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
Institutional shares of the Funds. 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 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 deduct
any expenses then pay out these earnings to shareholders as 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 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
36
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]
37
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
You can exchange your Institutional shares for shares in certain other Vista
funds. 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 commission. Call 1-800-62-CHASE for details.
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.
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.
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.
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]
