Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of this Fund carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in the Fund´s prospectus and summary prospectus, if available, which may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor, or by calling 888-877-4626.

* "Gov't and Gov't Related" may include nominal and inflation-protected Treasuries, Agencies, interest rate swaps, Treasury futures and options, and FDIC-guaranteed corporate securities.** "Net Cash & Equivalents" is defined as any investment grade security with duration less than one year. Periodically these sectors may not be represented in the fund. Sectors are subject to change.

 

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed.

 

The Fund will invest in debt securities exempt from federal and California income tax (California Municipal Bonds). Shareholders of a municipal bond fund will, at times, incur a tax liability, as income from these funds may be subject to state and local taxes and, where applicable, the alternative minimum tax. The Fund may invest in other types of Fixed Income Instruments. The Fund will invest primarily in investment grade debt securities, but may invest in high yield securities. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds.

 

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may concentrate its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may invest in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements, or in mortgage- or asset-backed securities. Use of derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments. The Fund may also invest in securities issued by entities, such as trusts, whose underlying assets are California Municipal Bonds, including, without limitation, residual interest bonds.

 

This is not intended as a recommendation, offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. References to specific sectors, securities or issuers are for illustrative purposes only. All holdings are subject to change daily. All share classes have the same portfolio but different expenses.

 

Risk Section Source: Lipper, Inc. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The different elements comprising this section are explained below. The overall market is represented by the S&P 500 for equity portfolios and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index for fixed-income portfolios. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio. The beta of the market is 1 by definition. A beta greater than 1 indicates that a portfolio's market risk is greater than the overall market's, while a beta less than 1 indicates a lower market risk. It is important to note that having a low market risk does not necessarily imply low volatility. A portfolio may have a low beta while experiencing volatility due to factors independent of the market. R-squared measures the percentage of a portfolio's movements that are explained by movements in the overall market. Standard deviation is an absolute measure of volatility measuring dispersion about an average which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time.

 

The credit quality of the securities in the portfolio is generally calculated by Moody's or S&P; if unrated, the investment manager may determine a comparable rating, which is included in the portfolio breakdown. The credit quality of the investment in the portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the fund.
