CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    California Tax-Free Money Market seeks safety of principal and high current
    income that is exempt from California and federal income taxes.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy high-quality, very short-term debt securities with
    interest payments exempt from California and federal income taxes. Cities,
    counties and other municipalities in California usually issue these
    securities for public projects.

    Additional information about California Tax-Free Money Market's investments
    is available in its annual and semi-annual reports. In these reports you
    will find a discussion  of the market conditions and investment strategies
    that  significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent
    fiscal period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    *  An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and
    it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
    (FDIC) or any other government agency. Although the 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.

    *  Because high-quality, very short-term debt securities are among the
    safest securities available, the interest they  pay is among the lowest for
    income-paying securities. Accordingly, the yield on this fund will likely be
    lower than funds that invest in longer-term or  lower-quality securities.

    *  Because the fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, it
    will be sensitive to events that affect California's economy. California
    Tax-Free Money Market may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest
    in a larger universe of securities.

        management fee rate generally decreases as fund assets increase.

        independent trustees  and their legal counsel, as well as interest, were

             * redeem all of your shares at the end of the periods shown below

             * earn a 5% return each year

             * incur the same operating expenses as shown above

             . . . your cost of investing in the fund would be:
