The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods, that you earn a 5% return each year, and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Investor Class	$56	$177	$308	$690

Principal Investments, Principal Risks and Performance

The fund is a money market fund and invests in municipal money market securities. Under normal market conditions, the portfolio managers invest in high-quality, very short-term debt securities issued by cities, counties and other municipalities in California and U.S. territories, such as Puerto Rico, at least 80% of which have interest payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. A high-quality debt security is one that has been rated by an independent rating agency in its top two credit quality categories or determined by the advisor to be of comparable credit quality.

When determining whether to sell a security, portfolio managers consider, among other things, current and anticipated changes in interest rates, the credit quality of a particular issuer, comparable alternatives, general market conditions and any other factor deemed relevant by the portfolio managers.

The fund’s principal risks include

•	Low Interest – Because high-quality 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 the yield on funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.

•	California Economic Risk – The fund will be sensitive to events that affect California’s economy. Significant political or economic developments in California will likely impact virtually all municipal securities issued in the state. Because the fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, it may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe of securities.

•	Municipal Securities Risk – Because the fund invests primarily in municipal securities, it will be sensitive to events that affect municipal markets, including legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities. By investing primarily in municipal securities, the fund may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe of securities.

•	Interest Rate, Credit and Liquidity Risks – All investments carry risks to some degree. However, the fund's investment parameters are designed to reduce the effects of changes in interest rates, to minimize credit risks and to reduce the effect on the fund of a default of any one issuer. For more information regarding interest rate, credit and liquidity risk, see Objectives, Strategies and Risks in this prospectus.

•	Loss of Tax-Exemptions Risk – There is no guarantee that all of the fund’s income will be exempt from federal or state income taxes. Income from municipal bonds held by the 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.

•	Principal Loss – 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 it.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
