EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Retail Shares of the Municipal Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Retail Shares of the Municipal Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Retail Shares of the Municipal Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Expense Cap for year one). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 

       1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years

Municipal Portfolio – Retail Shares:

         $109            $368            $647            $1,443

Principal Investment Strategies

The Daily Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maintain investment portfolios with a dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less, to value its investment portfolios at amortized cost and maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Municipal Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in obligations issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and its political subdivisions, public authorities and other entities authorized to issue debt, including Participation Certificates therein the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax. The Portfolio will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change in this policy. The maturities of variable rate demand instruments held in the Portfolio will be deemed to be the longer of the period required before the Portfolio is entitled to receive payment of the principal amount of the instrument through demand, or the period remaining until the next interest rate adjustment, although the stated maturities may be in excess of 397 days.

The Portfolio’s investment manager considers the following factors when buying and selling securities for the Portfolio: (i) the availability of cash, (ii) redemption requests, (iii) yield management, and (iv) credit management. Yield management is where the investment manager considers the overall yield of the Portfolio and how an individual purchase would impact the yield of the Portfolio, against the backdrop of the Portfolio’s overall investment objective. Credit management is where the investment manager considers the overall credit quality of the Portfolio and how an individual purchase would impact the credit quality of the Portfolio, against the backdrop of the Portfolio’s overall investment objective.

Principal Risks

 

 

Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio.

 

 

The value of the Portfolio’s shares and the securities held by the Portfolio can each decline in value.

 

 

The amount of income the Portfolio generates will vary with changes in prevailing interest rates.

 

 

The payment of interest and preservation of capital are dependent upon the continuing ability of issuers to meet payment obligations.

 

 

An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) or any other governmental agency.

 

 

The Municipal Portfolio invests in municipal debt obligations. The value of these municipal obligations may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal debt market related to taxation. In addition, the payment of interest and preservation of capital are dependent upon the continuing ability of issuers and/or obligors of state, municipal and public authority debt obligations to meet these payment obligations.

 

 

Because the Municipal Portfolio may invest in Participation Certificates, investors should understand the characteristics of the banking industry and the risks that such investments entail. Adverse changes in economic and regulatory developments affecting the banking industry could affect the ability of the banks to meet their obligations. Such adverse economic changes may include substantial losses on loans, increases in non-performing assets and charge-offs and declines in total deposits. The activities of U.S. banks and most foreign banks are subject to comprehensive regulations which, in the case of U.S. regulations, have undergone substantial changes in the past decade and are currently subject to legislative and regulatory scrutiny. The enactment of new legislation or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current


 

laws, may affect the manner of operations and profitability of U.S. and foreign banks. Significant developments in the U.S. banking industry have included increased competition from other types of financial institutions, increased acquisition activity and geographic expansion. Banks may be particularly susceptible to certain economic factors, such as interest rate changes and adverse developments in the market for real estate. Fiscal and monetary policy and general economic cycles can affect the availability and cost of funds, loan demand and asset quality and thereby impact the earnings and financial conditions of banks.
