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's assets are invested in high-quality, very short-term debt securities
of which at least 80% must have interest payments exempt from federal and
California income taxes. Cities, counties and other municipalities in California
and U.S. territories, such as Puerto Rico, usually issue these securities for
public projects, such as schools and roads. Income from these securities is
exempt from regular federal income tax, state tax and alternative minimum tax.

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 in California municipal securities, it will be
   sensitive to events that affect California's economy. The fund may have a
   higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe of
   securities.

*  There is no guarantee that all of the fund's income will remain exempt
   from federal or state income taxes. Income from municipal bonds held by a
   fund could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws,
   adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax
   authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer.
