INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE<br />
BOTH FUNDS<br />
What is each Fund’s investment objective?<br />
Each Fund has a common investment objective of providing California investors<br />
with a high level of current interest income that is exempt from federal and<br />
California state income taxes. The California Money Market Fund has a further<br />
objective of preserving capital and maintaining liquidity. Each Fund has<br />
separate investment policies to achieve its objective. The Funds’ Board of<br />
Trustees (the Board) may change a Fund’s investment objective without<br />
shareholder approval.<br />
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY<br />
What is each Fund’s principal investment strategy?<br />
Each Fund primarily invests its assets in securities issued by the state of<br />
California, its political subdivisions and instrumentalities, and by other<br />
government entities if, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer, the income from<br />
such obligations is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes<br />
and is exempt from California state income taxes.<br />
These securities include municipal debt obligations that have been issued by<br />
California and its political subdivisions and duly constituted state and local<br />
authorities and corporations. We refer to these securities as California taxexempt<br />
securities. California tax-exempt securities generally are issued to fund<br />
public infrastructure projects such as streets and highways, schools, water and<br />
sewer systems, hospitals, and airports. They also may be issued to refinance outstanding<br />
obligations as well as to obtain funds for general operating expenses<br />
and for loans to other public institutions and facilities.<br />
What types of tax-exempt securities will be included in each<br />
Fund’s portfolio?<br />
Each Fund’s assets may be invested in, among other things, any of the<br />
following tax-exempt securities, except as otherwise noted:<br />
