SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE INVESTOR SHARES SERIES
The following summary is furnished solely to provide limited introductory
information and is qualified in its entirety by the detailed information appearing
elsewhere in this Information Statement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.
Investment Shares Series ...................... The Investment Shares Series is a series of
the Illinois Public Reserves Investment
Management Trust.
Investment Objective and Policies .........
Investment Advisor .................................
VP/#20390449.11
The Investment Shares Series' investment
objective is to provide investors with the
highest possible investment yield while
maintaining liquidity and preserving capital.
See "How the Investment Shares Series
nvests.33
In pursuing this objective, the Investment
Shares Series invests in high-quality short-
term debt obligations and instruments (i.e.,
money market instruments). Debt
obligations, in general, are written promises
to repay a debt. Among the various types of
debt obligations the Investment Shares
Series may purchase are obligations
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the
United States, U.S. government agency
obligations, corporate obligations, bank
obligations and any other obligations
permitted by applicable Illinois law. The
Investment Shares Series is managed to
comply with specific requirements of Illinois
law, particularly the Public Funds
Investment Act and the Illinois Sustainable
Investing Act. See "Investment Restrictions"
below.
Prudent Man Advisors, LLC (the
"Investment Advisor"), a limited liability
company organized under the laws of the
State of Illinois and an investment advisor
registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, serves as the Investment
Advisor of the Fund and the Investment
Shares Series. The Administrator and
Distributor (each as defined below) of the
RAI
116
Fund are affiliates of the Investment
Advisor. The I nvestment Advisor,
Administrator and Distributor are sometimes
referred to herein as the "PMA Entities."
Distributor ............................................... PMA Securities, LLC (the "Distributor"), a
registered broker-dealer and municipal
advisor, is the distributor for shares of the
Investment Shares Series.
Administrator .......................................... PMA Financial Network, LLC (the
"Administrator") provides administrative
services to the Investment Shares Series.
Custodian...............................................
BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the "Custodian")
maintains custody of all securities and cash
assets of the Fund and acts as safekeeping
agent for the investment portfolio of the
Investment Shares Series; provided,
however, that uncertificated investments are
generally maintained with the banking
institution which holds the investments.
Risk Factors ........................................... As with any investment, an investment in
the Investment Shares Series involves risk
and special considerations that should be
carefully considered prior to investment.
See "Principal Risk Factors."
Fees and Expenses ................................
VP/#20390449.11
The fees and expenses of the Investment
Shares Series, including the fees of the
Investment Advisor, Distributor,
Administrator, and Custodian are set forth
below under "Fees and Expenses of the
Investment Shares Series." The Investment
Shares Series is also subject to certain
other expenses, including, but not limited to,
operating expenses; out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Trustees in the
discharge of their duties; legal fees; the fees
of the Fund's independent accountants; the
cost of insurance for the Fund and its
Trustees and officers; extraordinary or non-
recurring charges; and certain other account
maintenance charges. The Investment
Advisor and its affiliates may seek
reimbursement for all expenses properly
3
117
Stable Net Asset Value ..........................
incurred on behalf of the Fund. The fees
and expenses associated with the formation
of the Fund will be borne by the Investment
Advisor or its affiliates. See "Fees and
Expenses of the Investment Shares Series."
The Investment Shares Series seeks to
maintain a stable net asset value ("NAV") of
$1.00 per share. The Investment Shares
Series assets are valued using the
amortized cost method. This method of
valuation is designed to enable the
Investment Shares Series to price the
shares at $1.00 per share, although the
share price may deviate from $1.00 per
share. See "Principal Risk Factors."
The Offering ........................................... The Investment Shares Series is offering
shares on a continuous basis. The
Investment Shares Series may accept
investments from Participants on each
Illinois banking day.
Minimum Investment .............................. Investors in the Investment Shares Series
are not required to maintain a minimum
investment.
Redemptions ..........................................
Shares of the Investment Shares Series
may be redeemed on any day which is an
Illinois banking day. The price received will
be the NAV of the shares next determined
after receipt of the order to redeem. See
"How to Buy and Redeem Shares of the
Investment Shares Series."
Reporting .................................................. Investors will receive monthly account
statements and an annual report containing
audited financial statements of the
Investment Shares Series.
Participant Eligibility ............................... An investment in the Investment Shares
Series is limited to political corporations or
subdivisions of the State of Illinois excluding
school districts, community college districts
and educational service regions.

Rating ..................................................... The Investment Shares Series has earned a
AAAm rating from Standard & Poor's
("S&P"). There is no guarantee that the
Investment Shares Series will maintain this
or any rating.
Indemnification ....................................... The Fund has agreed to indemnify each
Trustee for any claim, liability, cost or
expense asserted against the Trustee in
connection with the conduct of the business
of the Fund, except to the extent of the
Trustee's gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud.
OVERVIEW OF THE INVESTMENT SHARES SERIES
The Investment Shares Series consists of one single class of shares. Investors in
the Investment Shares Series are not required to maintain a minimum investment. The
Investment Shares Series has earned a AAAm rating from S&P. There is no guarantee
that the Investment Shares Series will maintain this or any rating. Ratings are not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold the shares of the Investment Shares Series.
HOW THE INVESTMENT SHARES SERIES INVESTS
Investment Obiective and Investments
The Investment Shares Series' investment objective is to provide investors with
the highest possible investment yield while maintaining liquidity and preserving capital.
In pursuing this objective, the Investment Shares Series invests in high-quality
short-term debt obligations and instruments (i.e., money market instruments) as
described below. Debt obligations, in general, are written promises to repay a debt.
Among the various types of debt obligations the Investment Shares Series may
purchase are obligations guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States,
U.S. government agency obligations, corporate obligations, bank obligations and any
other obligations permitted by applicable Illinois law. The Investment Shares Series is
managed to comply with specific requirements of Illinois law, particularly the Public
Funds Investment Act, the Illinois Sustainable Investing Act and other laws applicable to
the investment of Participants' funds.
U.S. Government Obligations
The Investment Shares Series may invest in U.S. government obligations.
These obligations include debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government
or one of its agencies or instrumentalities. In some cases, the full faith and credit of the
United States backs the payment of principal and interest on U.S. government
5
VP/#20390449.11
119
obligations. In other cases, these obligations are backed solely by the issuing or
guaranteeing agency or instrumentality itself. In these cases, there can be no
assurance that the U.S. government will provide financial support to its agencies or
instrumentalities when it is not obligated to do so.
Short -Term Corporate Debt Obligations
The Investment Shares Series may invest in short-term debt obligations of
corporations, including such securities sometimes referred to as "commercial paper."
The Investment Shares Series purchases short-term debt obligations issued by U.S.
corporations if: (1)the corporation's assets exceed $500 million; (2)the obligation is
rated in one of the three highest rating categories by at least two major rating
organizations, such as Moody's Investors Service Inc. ("Moody's"), Fitch Ratings
("Fitch") or S&P; and (3)the instrument matures within 397 days of purchase.
Commercial paper must be rated in the highest categories, Prime -1 by Moody's, Fitch -1
by Fitch or A-1 (or A-1+) by S&P. The Investment Shares Series will not invest more
than 331/3% of its NAV in short-term corporate debt obligations, measured at the time of
investment.
Bank Obligations
The Investment Shares Series may invest in interest-bearing certificates of
deposit, interest-bearing time deposits or any other investments that are direct
obligations of a bank or credit union that are permitted by applicable Illinois law. These
include bankers' acceptances, which are time drafts or bills of exchange which, when
accepted by a bank, become an irrevocable primary and unconditional obligation of the
accepting bank.
The Investment Shares Series may, from time to time and depending on the
circumstances, purchase certificates of deposit and bank notes of banks and thrift
institutions ("CDs") permitted by applicable Illinois law for the Investment Shares Series
through the Fixed Income Investment Program offered by the Distributor and the
Administrator. As described below under "Additional Programs and Services Fixed
Income Investment Program," the Administrator/Distributor receives a fee on any CDs
purchased through the Program. To avoid potential conflicts of interest with respect to
any CDs purchased for the Investment Shares Series through the Program, the
Investment Advisor has instituted procedures to ensure that such CDs are the best
available investment opportunity for the Investment Shares Series at the time of
purchase. In addition, the Administrator/Distributor will waive its transaction fees
payable under the Program for any investments by the Investment Shares Series.
Repurchase Agreements
The Investment Shares Series may enter into repurchase agreements, where a
party agrees to sell a U.S. government security to the Investment Shares Series and
then repurchase it at an agreed-upon price at a stated time. A repurchase agreement is
like a loan by the Investment Shares Series to the other party that creates a fixed return
0
VP/#20390449.11
120
for the Investment Shares Series. All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized at
102% with U.S. government securities.
The Investment Shares Series may also participate in sponsored member
repurchase programs with the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation ("FICC"). FICC sells
U.S. government or agency securities to the Investment Shares Series under
agreements to repurchase these securities at a stated repurchase price including
interest for the term of the agreement. The term of the agreement will typically be
overnight or over the weekend. The Investment Shares Series, through FICC, receives
delivery of the underlying U.S. government or agency securities as collateral, whose
market value is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
Municipal Obligations
The Investment Shares Series may invest in interest-bearing obligations,
including tax anticipation warrants, of any governmental unit of the State of Illinois or
any other state eligible for investment by Participants, the interest on which is taxable or
tax-exempt under federal law. These municipal obligations may be fixed rate, floating
rate or variable rate and must be rated in one of the three highest rating categories by at
least one major rating organization.
Government Money -Market Mutual Funds
The Investment Shares Series may invest in money market funds registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, provided that the portfolio of any such
money market mutual fund is limited to U.S. government obligations described above
and to agreements to repurchase such U.S. government obligations.
Floating -Rate and Variable -Rate Obligations
The interest rates of certain debt obligations the Investment Shares Series may
purchase may be subject to reset on predetermined dates. Such securities are referred
to as "floating-rate obligations" and "variable-rate obligations." Because the interest
these securities pay is adjustable, there are market environments where they may have
a beneficial or detrimental impact to the yield of the Investment Shares Series relative to
fixed-rate securities issued by similar issuers with similar terms to maturity. For
purposes of calculating weighted average maturity to reset for the portfolio, the interest
rate reset date on these instruments is used.
Demand Instruments
Demand instruments are debt securities where the issuer is obligated to repay
principal and pay accrued interest upon demand of the holder. Other demand
instruments designate a third party to fulfill the repayment obligation. Such parties may
be a dealer or bank acting on behalf of the tender agent to repurchase the security for
its face value upon demand. The Investment Shares Series treats demand instruments
as short-term securities.
7
VP/#20390449.11
121
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Investment Shares Series' investments are subject to the restrictions listed
below. These restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund, which means that they
cannot be changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of Participants.
The Investment Shares Series may not:
(1) Make investments other than those permitted by the Illinois Public Funds
Investment Act or any other law applicable to the investment of Participants' funds, as
provided in the Fund's Declaration of Trust, including those investments described
above under "How the Investment Shares Series Invests Investment Objective and
Investments."
(2) Invest in a security that matures more than 397 calendar days after
purchase unless they are sovereign floating rate investments rated AA- or higher or
investments with unconditional demand features (i.e. put) that provide liquidity within
397 calendar days with an issuer rated `A-1' or `A' or higher.
(3) Make an investment that would cause the Fund's weighted average
maturity to reset to be greater than 60 days or a weighted average maturity to final to
be greater than 90 days.
(4) Borrow money or incur indebtedness, except as a temporary measure to
meet unexpected withdrawal requests from investors.
(5) Hold or provide for the custody of any Fund property in a manner not
permitted by law or by any institution or person not authorized by law.
Accounting Standards
The Investment Shares Series must comply with certain accounting standards to
value the Investment Shares Series investments at amortized cost. These restrictions
are in addition to those set forth above, but generally do not pose significant additional
restrictions on the portfolio as many of the requirements are similar to those applicable
in order for the Investment Shares Series to maintain its AAAm rating from S&P.
These restrictions include limits on maturity, quality, diversification and liquidity. For
example, the daily liquid assets of the portfolio should equal at least 10% of the
portfolio. The Investment Advisor is responsible for compliance with these standards.
PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS
All investments involve risk and investing in the Investment Shares Series is no
exception. Although the Investment Shares Series invests in high quality instruments
permitted under the Illinois Public Funds Investment Act, there can be no assurance
that the Investment Shares Series will not be the subject of fraud or other misconduct in
relation to its investments. Set forth below are the principal risk factors of the
Investment Shares Series.
0
VP/#20390449.11
122
Concentration Risk. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the
market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Any
market price movements, regulatory or technological changes, or economic conditions
affecting banks or financial institutions, may have a significant impact on the Investment
Shares Series' performance.
Credit Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal
when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities
or reduce the Investment Shares Series' returns.
Financial Sector Risk. The Investment Shares Series' assets will, from time to
time, be concentrated in the financial sector, which means that the Investment Shares
Series will be more affected by the performance of the financial sector, including banks,
than a fund that is more diversified. Financial services companies are subject to
extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans
and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can
charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of
capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost
of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to
increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may
cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international
credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of
financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financial sector may cause an
unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign,
and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of
financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such
companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action
to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations.
Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses
associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector.
Interest Rate Risk. The fixed-income instruments that the Investment Shares
Series may invest in are subject to the risk that market values of such securities will
decline as interest rates increase. These changes in interest rates have a more
pronounced effect on securities with longer durations. Fluctuations in the value of
portfolio securities will not affect interest income on existing portfolio securities but will
be reflected in the Investment Shares Series' NAV. While the Fund's service providers
may voluntarily agree to waive a portion of their fees to support a positive yield during
periods of low interest rates, there is no assurance they will do so.
During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Investment Shares
Series may be unable to maintain a positive yield. Certain countries have recently
experienced negative interest rates on certain fixed-income instruments. Very low or
negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. Changing interest rates, including
rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in
heightened market volatility, limited liquidity and may detract from Investment Shares
Series' performance to the extent the Investment Shares Series is exposed to such
0
VP/#20390449.11
123
interest rates. Negative yielding money market instruments may also limit the
Investment Shares Series' ability to locate fixed-income instruments containing the
desired risk/return profile.
Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or
circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it
credit or liquidity support.
Lack of Governmental Insurance or Guarantee. An investment in the Investment
Shares Series is not a bank deposit. An investment in the Investment Shares Series is
not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency.
Management Risk. The Investment Shares Series is subject to management
risk, which is the risk that poor security selection by the Investment Advisor could cause
the Investment Shares Series to underperform relevant benchmarks or other funds with
a similar investment objective. There is no guarantee of the Investment Shares Series'
performance or that the Investment Shares Series will meet its objective.
Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Investment Shares
Series may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets
generally or particular industries.
Ratings Risk. While the Investment Shares Series is currently rated AAAm by
S&P, there is no guarantee that the Investment Shares Series will maintain this or any
rating.
Redemption Risk. The Investment Shares Series may experience periods of
heavy redemptions that could cause the Investment Shares Series to liquidate its assets
at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of
declining or illiquid markets. Redemptions by a few large Participants may have a
significant adverse effect on the ability of the Investment Shares Series to maintain a
stable $1.00 share price. Further, under certain circumstances described in "How to
Buy and Redeem Shares of the Investment Shares Series," redemptions from the
Investment Shares Series may be temporarily suspended.
Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the
value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit
inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment. Actions by governmental
entities may also impact certain instruments in which the Investment Shares Series
invests. For example, certain instruments in which the Investment Shares Series may
invest rely in some fashion upon LIBOR. LIBOR is an average interest rate, determined
by the ICE Benchmark Administration, that banks charge one another for the use of
short-term money. The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates
LIBOR, has announced plans to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There
remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any
replacement rate, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on a fund
or on certain instruments in which a fund invests are not known. The transition process
10
VP/#20390449.11
124
may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for
instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition may also result in a reduction in
the value of certain instruments held by the Investment Shares Series. Any such effects
of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in
losses to the Investment Shares Series.
Repurchase Agreement Risk. The Investment Shares Series could incur a loss
on a repurchase transaction if the seller defaults and the value of the underlying
collateral declines or the Investment Shares Series' ability to sell the collateral is
restricted or delayed. In the case of sponsored member repurchase programs, if the
clearing agency were to become bankrupt, the Investment Shares Series may be
delayed or may incur costs or possible losses of principal and income in disposing of
the collateral.
Stable NAV Risk. Although the Investment Shares Series seeks to maintain the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, the share price is not guaranteed, and if it
falls below $1.00 you can lose money. The share price could fall below $1.00 as a
result of the actions of one or more large investors in the Investment Shares Series.
The credit quality of the Investment Shares Series' holdings can change rapidly in
certain markets, and the default of a single holding could cause the Investment Shares
Series' share price to fall below $1.00, as could periods of high redemption pressures
and/or illiquid markets. Please see "How to Buy and Redeem Shares of the Investment
Shares Series" for more information on the steps the Administrator may take if the share
price falls below $1.00 per share. The Trustees are authorized to take any action the
Trustees deemed necessary and appropriate to maintain a share price of $1.00 per
share, including, but not limited to, reducing outstanding Shares pro rata, creating
designated memorandum accounts or otherwise segregating assets of the Investment
Shares Series in order to maintain a stable share price.
U.S. Government Obligations Risk. For U.S. government obligations that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, there can be no assurance
that the U.S. government will provide financial support when it is not obligated to do so.
HOW THE INVESTMENT SHARES SERIES IS MANAGED
Board of Trustees
The Trustees oversee the actions of the Investment Advisor, the Administrator,
the Custodian and the Distributor and decide on general policies. There are currently
three Trustees. The Trustees meet at least semi-annually.
Investment Advisor
Prudent Man Advisors, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws
of the State of Illinois and an investment advisor registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, serves as the Investment Advisor of the Fund. The Investment
Advisor is an affiliate of PMA Financial Network, LLC, the Fund's Administrator, and
11
VP/#20390449.11
125
PMA Securities, LLC, a registered securities broker-dealer serving as the Fund's
Distributor.
The Investment Advisor's experienced team of portfolio managers manages the
assets of the Investment Shares Series in accordance with its investment objective and
policies. The Investment Advisor seeks to preserve principal and maximize interest
income through disciplined bottom-up security selection and strong risk controls.
Investment policy decisions are made by the Investment Advisor consistent with the
strategy and mandates for the Investment Shares Series.
Administmtnr
PMA Financial Network, LLC provides administrative services to the Fund. The
Administrator is a financial services provider organized under the laws of the State of
Illinois. The Administrator services all investor accounts in the Fund; determines and
allocates income of the Fund; provides administrative personnel and facilities to the
Fund; determines the net asset value on a daily basis; and performs related
administrative services for the Fund. The Administrator supervises all operational
aspects of the Investment Shares Series, other than those delegated to the Investment
Advisor, the Custodian and the Distributor. The Administrator will prepare all required
tax returns of the Investment Shares Series and will prepare reports on the Investment
Shares Series for investors.
nistrihi Anr
PMA Securities, LLC, a registered broker-dealer and municipal advisor, is the
distributor for shares of the Investment Shares Series and also makes available to Fund
investors U.S. government securities as part of the Fixed Income Investment Program.
The Distributor engages in distribution efforts; assists investors in completing and
submitting registration forms; assists in preparing and distributing information about the
Fund and its investment services; and advises the Trustees regarding methods of
seeking and obtaining additional investors for the Fund.
C.i istndinn
As the Fund's custodian, BMO Harris Bank, N.A. maintains custody of all
securities and cash assets of the Fund and acts as safekeeping agent for the
investment portfolio of the Investment Shares Series; provided, however, that
uncertificated investments are generally maintained with the banking institution which
holds the investments. It also serves as the depository in connection with direct
investments and redemptions.

The Custodian:
The Investment Shares Series pays the Custodian a fee for its services.
In addition, the Investment Shares Series pays cash management fees to the
Custodian. A summary of these charges is available upon request.
Other Expenses/Waivers:
The Investment Shares Series is also subject to certain other expenses,
including, but not limited to, operating expenses; out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Trustees in the discharge of their duties; legal fees; the fees of the Fund's
independent accountants; the cost of insurance for the Fund and its Trustees and
officers; extraordinary or non-recurring charges; and certain other account
maintenance charges. The Investment Advisor and its affiliates may seek
reimbursement for all expenses properly incurred on behalf of the Fund. The fees
and expenses associated with the formation of the Fund will be borne by the
Investment Advisor or its affiliates.
From time to time, the Administrator, the Investment Advisor, the Distributor
and/or the Custodian may voluntarily waive a portion of their fees to support a positive
yield during periods when the Investment Shares Series' yield is reduced because of
low interest rates. The Administrator, Investment Advisor, Distributor, and/or Custodian
also may voluntarily assume certain expenses of the Investment Shares Series.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX ISSUES
ni.qtrihi Jinn.q
Dividends of the Investment Shares Series are declared daily and paid monthly.
Investors are entitled to receive dividends on shares of the Fund beginning on the day
of purchase. For this reason, the Investment Shares Series must have funds available
on the day the purchase is accepted equaling the amount of the investment in the
Investment Shares Series. A purchase order for shares of the Investment Shares
Series is accepted: (1) immediately upon receipt of a federal funds wire, or (2) when
funds in the amount of the purchase are credited to the Investment Shares Series'
account with the Custodian (generally, one business day after your check is received).
Tax I.q.qi iP.q
The Fund is not subject to Federal or Illinois income tax on income it realizes, nor
are distributions of such income to any investor taxable if the investor is a political
subdivision of the State of Illinois for Federal income tax purposes.
HOW TO BUY AND REDEEM SHARES OF THE INVESTMENT SHARES SERIES
How to Buy Shares
To open an account, call PMA Securities, LLC at (844) 547-7463 or contact:
PMA Securities, LLC
Attn : New Accounts
2135 CityGate Lane, 7th Floor
Naperville, Illinois 60563
Transactions in the Investment Shares Series can be made via telephone with a
representative of the Administrator. In addition, orders for the Investment Shares Series
may be placed electronically through the PMA Government Portfolio System (PMA
GPSO). PMA GPS is the Administrator's proprietary account access and electronic
trading system. Investors will be able to access the PMA GPS System through the
Fund's website (www.iprimetrust.org).
The NAV of the shares is determined as of the close of business on each Illinois
banking day.
Portfolio securities are valued using the amortized cost method of valuation. This
method involves valuing each investment at cost on the date of purchase and assuming
a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Amortized cost
valuation provides certainty in valuation, but may result in valuations that are higher or
lower than the market price of a particular portfolio security.
If for any reason the Investment Shares Series realizes a loss on securities
transactions on any day, the accrued net income for the month will be reduced in the
14
VP/#20390449.11
128
amount that it takes to maintain a NAV of $1.00 per share. To the extent that accrued
net income for the month is insufficient, outstanding shares will be cancelled in the
amount required to maintain the $1.00 NAV per share, with each investor contributing
its pro rata portion of the total number of shares to be canceled. By investing in the
Investment Shares Series, each investor is deemed to agree to this contribution.
Automatic Reinvestment
The Fund distributes the net investment income of the Investment Shares Series
to investors. Such distributions will automatically be reinvested in the Investment
Shares Series at the then current NAV.
Reports to Participants
Every year investors will be provided with an annual report, which contains
important financial information about the Investment Shares Series. Investors also
receive a confirmation of subscriptions and redemptions as well as a monthly statement
detailing the entire month's activity.
Account information can be obtained via the Fund's website at
(www. i p ri m etru st. o rg). To acquire on-line access, simply complete an "Account
Authorization Form" and submit it to the Administrator at 2135 CityGate Lane, 7th Floor,
Naperville, Illinois 60563. These forms can be obtained by logging onto the Fund's
website at (www.iprimetrust.org) or by calling the Administrator at (844) 547-7463.
How to Redeem Shares
Contact the Administrator or Distributor to redeem shares of the Investment
Shares Series. When shares of the Investment Shares Series are redeemed, the price
received will be the NAV next determined after receipt of the order to redeem.
Shares of the Investment Shares Series may be redeemed telephonically, or may
be redeemed electronically via the PMA GPS System which is linked to the Fund's
website. The Trustees may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of
payment for redeemed shares during any period (i) when there shall have occurred any
state of war, national emergency, banking moratorium or suspension of payments by
banks in the State of Illinois or any general suspension of trading or limitation of prices
on the New York Stock Exchange or (ii) when any financial emergency exists as a result
of which disposal by the Investment Shares Series of its investments is not reasonably
practicable because of the substantial losses which might be incurred or it is not
reasonably practicable for the Investment Shares Series fairly to determine the value of
its net assets.
For additional information on redeeming shares, please call the Administrator at
(844) 547-7463.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INVESTMENT SHARES SERIES
Performance Information
The Fund may publish the "current yield" and "effective yield" of the Investment
Shares Series in advertisements, sales materials and investor reports. Current yield
refers to the net change, exclusive of capital changes and income other than investment
income, in the account value of one share over a seven-day period expressed as a
percentage of the net assets during that period; the income is then annualized. In
annualizing income, the amount of income generated by the investment during the
period is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a
percentage of the investment. The effective yield is calculated in the same manner, but
when annualized, the income earned by an investment is assumed to be reinvested.
The effective yield may be slightly higher than the current yield because of the
compounding effect of the assumed reinvestment. In addition, any waivers of
expenses, as set forth herein, may positively impact the performance of the Investment
Shares Series. Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no
guarantee of future results. Yields will fluctuate as market conditions change. Any
current performance information will be posted on the Fund's website
(www.iprimetrust.org).
In addition, comparative performance information about the Investment Shares
Series may be used from time to time in advertisements, sales literature and investor
reports. This information may include data, ratings and rankings from industry
publications and services. Comparisons to recognized market indices and to the
returns on specific money market securities or types of securities or investments also
may be used. "Total return" refers to the average annual compounded rate of return
over a specified period (as stated in the advertisement) that would equate an initial
amount invested at the beginning of the period to the end of the period redeemable
value of the investment, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE TERM SERIES
The following summary is furnished solely to provide limited introductory
information and is qualified in its entirety by the detailed information appearing
elsewhere in this Information Statement. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.
Term Series ............................................ The Term Series is a series of the Illinois
Public Reserves Investment Management
Trust. Each Term Series is a separate
series of shares of beneficial interest of the
Fund with a fixed term and a maturity of no
less than 30 days and no more than three
years. Although investors have redemption
rights, Term Series are intended to be held
by investors until maturity. A Term Series'
portfolio may consist of one or more CDs,
obligations of the U.S. government or its
agencies or instrumentalities, municipal
obligations and other investments described
under "How the Term Series Invest."
Investment Objective and Policies ......... Each Term Series' investment objective is to
provide investors with (i) safety of principal,
(ii) competitive returns, and (iii) limited
liquidity. See "How the Term Series Invest."
In pursuing this objective, the Term Series
invest in high-quality debt instruments,
which are generally money market
instruments but may include instruments
with a maturity over one year. Debt
obligations, in general, are written promises
to repay a debt. Among the various types of
debt obligations the Term Series may
purchase are obligations guaranteed by the
full faith and credit of the United States, U.S.
government agency obligations, bank
obligations, municipal securities, repurchase
agreements and other obligations permitted
by applicable Illinois law except for
unsecured obligations of corporations.
Each Term Series is managed to comply
with specific requirements of Illinois law,
particularly the Public Funds Investment Act
17

Investment Advisor ................................
Distributor ...............................................

and the Illinois Sustainable Investing Act.
See "Investment Restrictions."
Prudent Man Advisors, LLC serves as the
Investment Advisor of the Term Series.
PMA Securities, LLC is the distributor for
shares of the Term Series.
PMA Financial Network, LLC provides
administrative services to the Term Series.
BMO Harris Bank N.A. maintains custody of
all securities and cash assets of the Fund
and acts as safekeeping agent for the
investment portfolios of the Term Series;
provided, however, that uncertificated
investments are generally maintained with
the banking institution which holds the
investments.
Risk Factors ........................................... As with any investment, an investment in a
Term Series involves risk and special
considerations that should be carefully
considered prior to investment. See
"Principal Risk Factors."
Fees and Expenses ................................
VP/#20390449.11
The fees and expenses applicable to the
Term Series are set forth below under "How
the Term Series are Managed." In general,
each Term Series pays the I nvestment
Advisor a fee, a portion of which the
Investment Advisor pays to the
Administrator and Distributor. Each Term
Series is also subject to certain other
expenses, including, but not limited to,
operating expenses; out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Trustees in the
discharge of their duties; legal fees; the fees
of the Fund's independent accountants; the
cost of insurance for the Fund and its
Trustees and officers; extraordinary or non-
recurring charges; and certain other account
maintenance charges. The Investment
Advisor and its affiliates may seek
reimbursement for all expenses properly
incurred on behalf of the Fund. The fees
im
132
Net Asset Value .....................................
The Offering ...........................................
Redemptions ..........................................
and expenses associated with the formation
of the Fund will be borne by the Investment
Advisor or its affiliates.
Each Term Series seeks to maintain a net
asset value ("NAV") of $1.00 per share. The
Term Series assets are generally valued
using the amortized cost method, except at
maturity, upon a redemption and at the
Fund's fiscal year-end. The amortized cost
method of valuation is designed to enable
each Term Series to price its shares at
$1.00 per share, although the Term Series
share price may deviate from $1.00 per
share. At maturity, in the event of a
redemption and at fiscal year-end, each
outstanding Term Series will be marked to
market and such value will be used for
determining distributions to investors and
valuation for financial statement
presentation. It is expected that the market
value of a Term Series at maturity will
approximate the amortized cost of the
portfolio.
A Term Series may be established on any
Illinois banking day.
Although an investment in each Term Series
is intended to be held until maturity, shares
of a Term Series may be redeemed upon
seven days' advance notice to the
Administrator subject to the Redemption
Costs described below. The price received
will be the NAV of the Term Series at the
close of business on the redemption date
less any redemption costs.
At maturity or upon redemption, any
proceeds from a Term Series investment
will be used to purchase shares of the
Investment Shares Series.
Redemption Costs .................................. An investor who redeems prior to maturity
may realize a loss on their investment,
including being subject to a penalty in an
amount necessary to recoup the penalty
19
VP/#20390449.11

charges, losses and other costs attributable
to the early redemption ("Redemption
Costs").
Reports to investors vary depending on the
duration of the Term Series. At a minimum,
investors will receive a monthly account
statement. The Fund's annual report will
include audited financial statements for
Term Series outstanding during the fiscal
year.
Only political corporations or subdivisions of
the State of Illinois excluding school
districts, community college districts and
educational service regions. In addition, a
Participant in a Term Series must already
be a Participant in the Investment Shares
Series.
The Term Series are not rated.
The Fund has agreed to indemnify each
Trustee for any claim, liability, cost or
expense asserted against the Trustee in
connection with the conduct of the business
of the Fund, except to the extent of the
Trustee's gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraud.
TERM SERIES INFORMATION
Each Term Series is a separate series of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund
within a fixed investment term and a maturity of no less than 30 days and no more than
three years. A Term Series' portfolio may consist of one or more CDs, obligations of the
U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, municipal obligations and other
investments described under "How the Term Series Invest."
Each Term Series will have a weighted average maturity as determined by the
Trustees. Term Series may have only one holding, and therefore may be highly
concentrated. A Term Series may have one or more investors. Information regarding
any investments or collateral for a Term Series' portfolio will be provided to the investors
in that Series by the Administrator or Distributor prior to settlement.
Generally, investments purchased by a Term Series will be held to maturity.
However, the Investment Advisor maintains discretion to dispose of, or substitute, a
security held by a Term Series if doing so is in the best interests of the Term Series. A
20
VP/#20390449.11
134
disposition or substitution of portfolio securities may affect a Term Series' net rate of
return. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid at maturity.
Each Term Series is independent from all other Term Series. This means that if
one Term Series loses money, no other Term Series will suffer that loss.
Term Series are designed to be held for the full term of that Series. If an
investment made in a Term Series is redeemed prior to the maturity date of that Series,
seven days' advance notice is required and a penalty will likely be assessed. The
penalty, which may be substantial, could include the amount necessary to recoup for
the Series any penalty charges, losses and other costs attributable to the early
redemption. The redeeming investor may also experience investment losses.
The Term Series are not rated by a rating agency.
HOW THE TERM SERIES INVEST
Investment Obiective and Policies
The Term Series' investment objective is to provide investors with (i) safety of
principal, (ii) competitive returns, and (iii) limited liquidity.
In pursuing this objective, the Term Series invest in high-quality debt obligations
and instruments as described below. Debt obligations, in general, are written promises
to repay a debt. Among the various types of debt obligations the Term Series may
purchase are obligations guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States,
U.S. government agency obligations, bank obligations, municipal securities, repurchase
agreements and other obligations permitted by applicable Illinois statutes, except for
unsecured obligations of corporations and commercial paper. Each Term Series is
managed to comply with specific requirements of Illinois law, particularly the Public
Funds Investment Act, the Illinois Sustainable Investing Act and other laws applicable to
the investment of Participants' funds.
U.S. Government Obligations
Term Series may invest in U.S. government obligations. These obligations
include debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its
agencies or instrumentalities. In some cases, the full faith and credit of the United
States backs the payment of principal and interest on U.S. government obligations. In
other cases, these obligations are backed solely by the issuing or guaranteeing agency
or instrumentality itself. In these cases, there can be no assurance that the U.S.
government will provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities when it is
not obligated to do so.
Bank Obligations
Term Series may invest in interest-bearing certificates of deposit, interest-bearing
time deposits or any other investments that are direct obligations of a bank or credit
21
VP/#20390449.11
135
union that are permitted by applicable Illinois law. These include bankers' acceptances,
which are time drafts or bills of exchange which, when accepted by a bank, become an
irrevocable primary and unconditional obligation of the accepting bank. The CDs held
by any Term Series will either be insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount of
such insurance or fully collateralized by pledged securities or letters of credit provided
by Federal Home Loan Banks for amounts in excess of FDIC insurance.
Repurchase Agreements
Term Series may enter into repurchase agreements, where a party agrees to sell
a U.S. government obligation to the Term Series and then repurchase it at an agreed-
upon price at a stated time. A repurchase agreement is like a loan by the Term Series
to the other party that creates a fixed return for the Term Series. All repurchase
agreements are fully collateralized with U.S. government obligations.
Municipal Obligations
The Term Series may invest in interest-bearing obligations, including tax
anticipation warrants, of any governmental unit of the State of Illinois or any other state
eligible for investment by Participants, the interest on which is taxable or tax-exempt
under federal law. These municipal obligations must be rated in one of the three
highest rating categories by at least one major rating organization.
Floating -Rate and Variable -Rate Obligations
The interest rates of certain debt obligations the Term Series may purchase may
be subject to reset on predetermined dates. Such securities are referred to as "floating-
rate obligations" and "variable-rate obligations." Because the interest these securities
pay is adjustable, there are market environments where they may have a beneficial or
detrimental impact to the yield of the Term Series relative to fixed-rate securities issued
by similar issuers and with similar terms to maturity. For purposes of calculating
weighted average maturity for the Series, the interest reset date on these instruments is
used.
Demand Instruments
Demand instruments are debt securities where the issuer is obligated to repay
principal and pay accrued interest upon demand of the holder. Other demand
instruments designate a third party to fulfill the repayment obligation. Such parties may
be a dealer or bank acting on behalf of the tender agent to repurchase the security for
its face value upon demand. The Term Series treat demand instruments as short-term
securities.
22
VP/#20390449.11
136
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The Term Series' investments are subject to the restrictions listed below. These
restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund, which means that they cannot be
changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of Participants.
The Term Series may not:
(1) Make investments other than those permitted by the Illinois Public Funds
Investment Act or any other law applicable to the investment of Participants' funds, as
provided in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.
(2) Invest in a security that matures more than 397 calendar days after
purchase unless (i) they are sovereign floating rate investments rated AA- or higher or
investments with unconditional demand features (i.e. put) that provide liquidity within
397 calendar days with an issuer rated `A-1' or `A' or higher, or (ii) permitted by a
Certificate of Designation for a Term Series with a maturity in excess of one year.
(3) Make an investment that would cause the weighted average maturity of
the Term Series to be greater than that designated by the Fund's Trustees, as set forth
in the applicable Certificate of Designation or authorizing resolution.
(4) Borrow money or incur indebtedness, except as a temporary measure to
meet unexpected withdrawal requests from investors.
(5) Hold or provide for the custody of any Fund property in a manner not
permitted by law or by any institution or person not authorized by law.
PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS
All investments involve risk and investing in the Term Series is no exception.
Although each Term Series invests in high quality instruments permitted under the
Illinois Public Funds Investment Act, there can be no assurance that any Term Series
investment will not be the subject of fraud or other misconduct. Set forth below are the
principal risk factors of the Term Series.
Concentration Risk. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the
market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Any
market price movements, regulatory or technological changes, or economic conditions
affecting banks or financial institutions, may have a significant impact on the Term
Series' performance.
Credit Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal
when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities
or reduce the Term Series' returns.
Financial Sector Risk. The Term Series' assets will, from time to time, be
concentrated in the financial sector, which means that the Term Series will be more
23
VP/#20390449.11
137
affected by the performance of the financial sector, including banks, than a fund that is
more diversified. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental
regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial
commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of
their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain.
Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can
fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In
addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a
broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money
markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets.
Certain events in the financial sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in
the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services
companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may
experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial
declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the
issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from
financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment
activities can negatively impact the sector.
Interest Rate Risk. The fixed-income instruments that the Term Series may
invest in are subject to the risk that market values of such securities will decline as
interest rates increase. These changes in interest rates have a more pronounced effect
on securities with longer durations. Fluctuations in the value of portfolio securities will
not affect interest income on existing portfolio securities but will be reflected in the Term
Series' NAV. While the Fund's service providers may voluntarily agree to waive a
portion of their fees to support a positive yield during periods of low interest rates, there
is no assurance they will do so.
During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Term Series may be
unable to maintain a positive yield. Certain countries have recently experienced
negative interest rates on certain fixed-income instruments. Very low or negative
interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. Changing interest rates, including rates that
fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened
market volatility, limited liquidity and may detract from Term Series' performance to the
extent the Term Series is exposed to such interest rates. Negative yielding money
market instruments may also limit the Term Series' ability to locate fixed-income
instruments containing the desired risk/return profile.
Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or
circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it
credit or liquidity support.
Lack of Governmental Insurance or Guarantee. An investment in the Term
Series is not a bank deposit. An investment in the Term Series is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.
24
VP/#20390449.11
138
Management Risk. The Term Series is subject to management risk, which is the
risk that poor security selection by the Investment Advisor could cause the Term Series
to underperform relevant benchmarks or other funds with a similar investment objective.
There is no guarantee of the Term Series' performance or that the Term Series will
meet its objective.
Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Term Series may
rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or
particular industries.
Redemption Risk. Redemptions by a holder of a Term Series may have a
significant adverse effect on the Term Series' ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share
price. Further, under certain circumstances described in "How to Buy and Redeem
Shares of the Term Series," redemptions from the Term Series may be temporarily
suspended. An investor who redeems prior to maturity of a Term Series may realize a
loss on their investment, including being subject to a penalty in an amount necessary to
recoup the penalty charges, losses and other costs attributable to the early redemption.
Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the
value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit
inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment. Actions by governmental
entities may also impact certain instruments in which the Term Series invests. For
example, certain instruments in which the Term Series may invest rely in some fashion
upon LIBOR. LIBOR is an average interest rate, determined by the ICE Benchmark
Administration, that banks charge one another for the use of short-term money. The
United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced
plans to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty
regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate, and
any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on a fund or on certain
instruments in which a fund invests are not known. The transition process may involve,
among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that
currently rely on LIBOR. The transition may also result in a reduction in the value of
certain instruments held by the Term Series. Any such effects of the transition away
from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to the Term
Series.
Repurchase Agreement Risk. The Term Series could incur a loss on a
repurchase transaction if the seller defaults and the value of the underlying collateral
declines or the Term Series' ability to sell the collateral is restricted or delayed. In the
case of sponsored member repurchase programs, if the clearing agency were to
become bankrupt, the Term Series may be delayed or may incur costs or possible
losses of principal and income in disposing of the collateral.
Stable NAV Risk. Although each Term Series seeks to maintain the value of
your investment at $1.00 per share, the share price is not guaranteed, and if it falls
below $1.00 you can lose money. The share price could fall below $1.00 as a result of
the actions of one or more large investors in the Term Series. The credit quality of the
25
VP/#20390449.11
139
Term Series' holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single
holding could cause the Term Series' share price to fall below $1.00, as could periods of
high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. Please see "How to Buy and
Redeem Shares of the Term Series" for more information on the steps the Administrator
may take if the share price falls below $1.00 per share. The Trustees are authorized to
take any action the Trustees deemed necessary and appropriate to maintain a share
price of $1.00 per share, including, but not limited to, reducing outstanding Shares pro
rata, creating designated memorandum accounts or otherwise segregating assets of the
Term Series in order to maintain a stable share price.
U.S. Government Obligations Risk. For U.S. government obligations that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, there can be no assurance
that the U.S. government will provide financial support when it is not obligated to do so.
HOW THE TERM SERIES ARE MANAGED
Board of Trustees
The Trustees oversee the actions of the Investment Advisor, the Administrator,
the Custodian and the Distributor and decide on general policies.
PMA Fntities
Prudent Man Advisors, LLC serves as the Investment Advisor of the Term
Series. PMA Securities, LLC serves as the Distributor for the Term Series and PMA
Financial Network, LLC serves as the Term Series Administrator.
The Investment Advisor's primary responsibility is to formulate a continuing
investment program and to oversee all decisions regarding the purchase and sale of
securities for the Term Series in accordance with the Term Series' investment objective
and policies. With approval of the Trustees, the Investment Advisor is also responsible
for determining the maturity of a Term Series.
The Distributor and Administrator generally provide the same services to the
Term Series as are provided to the Investment Shares Series. The Administrator is
responsible for calculating each Term Series' NAV as described below under "How to
Buy and Redeem Shares of the Term Series."
Fees and Expenses of the Term Series
Each Term Series pays an advisory fee to the Investment Advisor, a portion of
which the Investment Advisor pays to the Administrator and Distributor. Each Term
Series may also have other operating expenses.
The fees paid by the Term Series are calculated as follows:
26
VP/#20390449.11
140
The Investment Advisor:
In connection with investments in a Term Series, Participants pay to the
Investment Advisor an annualized advisory fee of up to 0.25%. An additional
fee, not to exceed 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Term Series on
an annualized basis, is charged with respect to assets that require management
and administration of collateral, letters of credit reciprocal programs or other
third -party guarantees. The fees are computed and accrued daily.
Other Fees and Ex
penses Paid by the Term Series:
Except as provided herein, all expenses of the Term Series not allocated
to the Investment Advisor and its affiliated entities, including the Administrator
and Distributor, shall be paid by the applicable Term Series, including, but not
limited to, operating expenses; out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustees
in the discharge of their duties; legal fees; the fees of the Fund's independent
accountants; the cost of insurance for the Fund and its Trustees and officers;
extraordinary or non-recurring charges; and certain other account maintenance
charges. As noted below, the PMA Entities may choose to pay such expenses
on behalf of a Term Series. The fees and expenses associated with the
formation of the Fund will be borne by the Investment Advisor or its affiliates.
Fees and Ex
j2enses Paid by the PMA Entities:
The PMA Entities shall pay the Custodian charges, audit fees and
incremental PMA authorized legal fees associated with the Term Series.
HOW TO BUY AND REDEEM SHARES OF THE TERM SERIES
Participants who have invested in the Investment Shares Series and who wish to
invest in a Term Series may do so by transferring funds from their Investment Shares
Series account to the Term Series of their choice. When that particular Term Series
matures or in the event of a redemption, the Participant's funds in that Series will then
be transferred back to the Participant's Investment Shares Series account.
To invest or redeem from a Term Series, contact the Administrator or Distributor
at (844) 547-7463. To redeem prior to maturity, the investor must provide seven days'
advance notice to the Administrator and may be subject to a penalty and other losses
as described herein.
The NAV of each outstanding Term Series is determined daily by the
Administrator.
Other than at maturity, upon a redemption or at the fiscal year-end, portfolio
securities are generally valued using the amortized cost method. This method involves
valuing each investment at cost on the date of purchase and assuming a constant
amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Amortized cost valuation provides
27
VP/#20390449.11
141
certainty in valuation, but may result in valuations that are higher or lower than the
market price of a particular portfolio security. At maturity, upon redemption and at fiscal
year-end, each Term Series' portfolio will be marked to market and such valuation will
be used for determining distributions to investors and valuation for financial statement
presentation. It is expected that the market value of a Term Series at maturity will
approximate the amortized cost of the portfolio. A Term Series may experience a loss
or gain if the mark to market value deviates from the Term Series' amortized cost. For
Term Series with longer maturities, there exists a greater likelihood that the amortized
cost of a portfolio may deviate from the market value within the duration of the Term
Series.
Reports to Participants
Investors receive a confirmation of subscriptions and redemptions as well as a
monthly statement detailing the entire month's activity. Investors will also receive an
annual report which contains important financial information about the Term Series.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX ISSUES
Ili.qtrihi Ainn.q

Series must have funds available on the day of settlement equaling the amount of the
investment in the Term Series.
Tax I.q.q11P_S
The Fund is not subject to Federal or Illinois income tax on income it realizes, nor
are distributions of such income to any investor taxable if the investor is a political
subdivision of the State of Illinois for Federal income tax purposes.

Service Providers
The service providers to the Fund may from time to time act as manager,
investment manager, broker, custodian, registrar, administrator or dealer in relation to,
or otherwise be involved in, other investment funds that have similar objectives or
investments as those held by the Fund. It is therefore possible that such service
providers or their affiliated persons may, in the course of business, have potential
conflicts of interest with the Fund.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
Fixed Income Investment Program
The Distributor and the Administrator offer investors a Fixed Income Investment
Program. Investors may contact the Administrator directly to purchase investment
instruments including CDs, commercial paper and bankers' acceptances. The
Distributor also makes available securities of the United States government and its
agencies and instrumentalities. The issuers of the instruments offered by this Program
are selected by the Administrator. Certificated investments will be held in an account
established for the benefit of the investor by the Custodian and uncertified investments
will generally be held by the banking institution which holds the investment.
Through this Program, investors can purchase fixed income instruments using
monies from their Fund accounts to pay for the investment. Investors may purchase
instruments of varying maturities (including maturities of more than one year) issued by
a variety of issuers. In order to simplify recordkeeping requirements for investors
purchasing CDs, all CD principal and interest is credited to an investor's account in the
Investment Shares Series as follows:
• Principal is credited at maturity.
• Interest on CDs having a term of 89 days or less is credited at maturity.
• Interest on CDs having a term of 90 days or more and which by their
terms pay all interest at maturity, is credited at maturity.
• Interest on CDs having a term of 90 days or more and which by their
terms pay interest monthly, is credited for each month on the 5th day of
the following month except that:
• If a CD is purchased on or after the 5th day of the month, interest is
initially credited on the 5th day of the second month following the
month of purchase.
• Upon the maturity date of the CD, all outstanding interest will be
credited to the investor's account.
29
VP/#20390449.11
143
• In all cases, principal and interest is credited on the next business day if a
crediting date falls on a non -business day.
Because interest is credited in the manner described above, an investor who
purchases a CD will have use of the interest earned on the CD, including the
opportunity for reinvestment of interest earned, on the date interest is credited to the
investor's account. This date may be before or after the date interest is actually
received from the issuing bank.
Interest payments on CDs purchased through the Fund's Fixed Income
Investment Program will be deposited into an account established with the Custodian.
Banks that issue CDs in the Program have varying methods and procedures with
respect to interest distribution. For the administrative ease of investors, the Fund has
elected to credit CD interest to all investors on the same day of the month. The Fund
has established the interest distribution method described above with the intention of
maintaining a positive cash flow in the Custodian account.
In the likely event that the aggregate interest collected in the account exceeds
the amount distributed, the Investment Shares Series will receive a calculated credit
from the Custodian which will serve to reduce the expenses of the Series in a manner
that will benefit all investors. In the unlikely event that any anticipated interest
distribution exceeds the amount collected in the account, the Fund reserves the right to
delay the interest payment to all CD investors until the necessary amount has been
collected.
Interest on U.S. government obligations will be posted to the investor's account
on the day it is received. Interest payment dates that fall on a day other than a business
day for the Fund will be credited on the next business day.
Investors purchasing CDs through the Fixed Income Investment Program pay an
annualized mark-up to the Administrator/Distributor of up to 0.25% on CDs carrying only
FDIC insurance and up to 0.35% on CDs as part of a reciprocal program or for which
insurance or eligible collateral is procured for deposits in excess of FDIC limits,
exclusive of insurance costs and any third party placement fees. Investors purchasing
commercial paper and bankers' acceptances through the Fixed Income Investment
Program pay the Administrator/Distributor an annualized mark-up of up to 0.15% of the
principal amount of each such investment. Where required by municipal advisor
regulations, the Distributor and not the Administrator will receive the fee for products
purchased through the Fixed Income Investment Program. Investors purchasing
securities of the U.S. government and its agencies through this Program pay an
annualized mark-up to the Distributor of up to 0.15% of the principal amount of each
such investment.
For purchases through the Fixed Income Investment Program, investors should
contact the Administrator or the Distributor at (844) 547-7463. With respect to
investments in the Fixed Income Investment Program, representatives of the
Administrator will generally contact investors by telephone regarding maturities of their
investments on the day of maturity.

Additional Services
The Administrator and/or the Distributor also offer other programs and services
for cash flow management, financial planning and bond proceeds management.
Investors are advised that any additional services and programs that are made
available directly by the Administrator, the Distributor or other applicable party, including
the Fixed Income Investment Program, are separate from the investment programs of
the Fund. The Board of Trustees of the Fund does not oversee such services or
programs. Accordingly, the parties offering such programs are solely responsible for
them, and questions regarding any such program should be directed to the party
offering it.

as part of their due diligence.

criteria. These securities include government securities, bank deposits, and
corporate bonds. Corporate bonds are limited to 33% of the portfolio, as
required by the Public Funds Investment Act. All investments must have S&P's
highest short-term ratings of A-1 or A-1+ or equivalent. Some deposits are
collateralized as may be required by S&P and aligned with Illinois statute and
the Fund's Information Statement. Investments are generally limited to no
