Payden & Rygel ("Payden" or the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee or reimburse Fund expenses to the extent that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver or Expense Reimbursement (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.25%. This agreement has a one-year term ending February 28, 2027; it may be renewed and may be amended by approval of a majority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. |
Example of Fund Expenses: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. 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. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for the first year). Although your actual expenses may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your expenses would be:

| PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES: |
| ª |
The Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, Government Securities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by cash or Government Securities. "Government Securities" generally means any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government or certain of its agencies or instrumentalities; or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing. |
| 1 | Payden Funds |
PAYDEN CASH RESERVES MONEY MARKET FUND
| ª |
The Fund intends to be a "government money market fund," as defined by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. The Fund does not currently intend to impose liquidity fees or redemption gates on Fund redemptions; however, the Fund's Board of Trustees may reserve the ability to subject the Fund to a liquidity fee and/or redemption gate in the future, after providing prior notice to Fund shareholders. |
| ª |
The Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less, and a dollar-weighted average portfolio life (portfolio maturity measured without reference to any maturity shortening provisions of adjustable rate securities by reference to their interest rate reset date) of 120 days or less. In addition, the Fund only purchases securities that mature within 397 days of the date of purchase (with certain exemptions permitted by applicable regulations). |
| PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS: |
| ª |
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor is not required to reimburse the Fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time, including during periods of market stress. |
| ª |
The primary risks of the debt securities in which the Fund invests are interest rate risk and credit risk. |
| ª |
Interest Rates. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Fund's debt securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. For example, a decline in short-term interest rates would lower the Fund's yield and the return on your investment. Factors such as government policy, inflation, the economy, and market for bonds can impact interest rates and yields. |
| ª |
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt security will be unable to make interest or principal payments on time and the related risk that the value of a debt security may decline because of concerns about the issuer's ability or willingness to make such payments. Generally, credit risk is often higher for bank, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and foreign government debt securities than for government securities. |
| ª |
Repurchase Agreement Risk. If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults or otherwise does not fulfill its obligations, the Fund may incur delays and losses arising from selling the underlying securities, enforcing its rights, or declining collateral value. |
| ª |
Government Securities Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund's ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. |
| ª |
Management Risk. The investment techniques and analysis used by the Fund's portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. |
| ª |
No Government Guarantee. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. |
Please note that there are other factors that could adversely affect your investment and that could prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. More information about risks appears in the Statement of Additional Information. Before investing, you should carefully consider the risks that you will assume.

| 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), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.

Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's internet site for more information.
