BMO Asset Management Corp. (Adviser) has agreed to waive or reduce its investment advisory fee and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to prevent class total annual
operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds business, and Acquired
Fund Fees and Expenses) from exceeding 0.45% for Class Y and 0.20% for Class I through December 31, 2013. The Adviser may not terminate this arrangement prior to December 31, 2013 unless the investment advisory agreement is terminated.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with
the cost of investing in other 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 Funds operating expenses are as shown in the table and remain the same. The costs in the one-year example and for the first year of the three-, five-, and ten-year
examples reflect the Advisers agreement to waive fees and reimburse expenses through December 31, 2013. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests primarily in fixed and floating rate municipal bonds and notes, variable rate demand instruments, and other
high-quality, short-term tax-exempt obligations maturing in 397 days or less. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests its assets so that at least 80% of the annual interest income that the Fund distributes will be exempt from federal income
tax, including federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).
To maintain
principal preservation, the Adviser places a strict emphasis on credit research. Using fundamental analysis, the Adviser develops an approved list of issuers and securities that meet the Advisers standards for minimal credit risk. The Adviser
continually monitors the credit risks of all of the Funds portfolio securities on an ongoing basis by reviewing financial data and ratings of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). The securities in which the Fund
invests must be rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories by one or more NRSROs or be determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality to securities having such ratings (except that U.S. Government securities and shares of
other registered money market funds are not subject to this requirement). The Fund invests in compliance with industry-standard regulatory requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity, diversification, and liquidity of investments.
The Fund seeks to enhance yield by taking advantage of favorable changes
in interest rates and reducing the effect of unfavorable changes in interest rates. In seeking to achieve this objective, the Adviser targets a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less based on its interest rate outlook. The
interest rate outlook is developed by analyzing a variety of factors, such as current and expected U.S. economic growth, current and expected interest rates and inflation, and the Federal Reserve Boards monetary policy. By developing an
interest rate outlook and adjusting the portfolios maturity accordingly, the Adviser seeks to position the Fund to take advantage of yield enhancing opportunities.

Principal
Risks
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of BMO Harris Bank N.A.,
or any of its affiliates, and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. In
addition, the Fund is subject to the following risks.
Interest Rate
Risks.
Prices of fixed income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rate paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed income securities fall. Interest rate changes have a greater
effect on the price of fixed income securities with longer maturities.
Credit Risks.
Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will default on a security by failing to pay interest or principal when due. If an issuer
defaults, the Fund may lose money. Lower credit ratings correspond to higher credit risk.
Call Risks.
If the securities in which the Fund invests are redeemed by the issuer before maturity (or called), the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities that pay a lower interest
rate, which may decrease the Funds yield. This will most likely happen when interest rates are declining.
Liquidity Risks.
Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell or buy a security or close out an investment contract at a favorable price or time. Consequently, the Fund may
have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Funds performance. Infrequent trading of securities also may lead to
an increase in their price volatility. Additionally, significant redemptions by large investors in the Fund could have a material adverse effect on the Funds other shareholders and the net asset value could be affected by forced selling during
periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets.
Municipal
Securities Risks.
Municipal bonds are subject to risks based on many factors, including economic and regulatory developments, changes or proposed changes in the federal and state tax structure, deregulation, court rulings, and other factors. The
value of municipal securities may be affected more by supply and demand factors or the creditworthiness of the issuer than by market interest rates. Repayment of municipal securities depends on the ability of the issuer or project backing such
securities to generate taxes or revenues. There is a risk that the interest on an otherwise tax-exempt municipal security may be subject to federal income tax.
Management Risks.
The Advisers judgments about the attractiveness, value, and potential appreciation of the Funds investments may prove to be
incorrect. Accordingly, no guarantee exists that the investment techniques used by the Funds manager will produce the desired results.
Sector Risks.
The Fund may invest its assets in municipal securities that finance similar projects, such as
those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in a particular sector, the Funds performance may be more susceptible to any economic, business, or other developments that
generally affect that sector.
Investments in Other Investment Companies
Risks.
The Fund may invest in securities issued by other investment companies. By investing in another investment company, there is a risk that the value of the underlying securities of the investment company may decrease. The Fund will also
bear its proportionate share of the other investment companys fees and expenses.
Fund Performance
The bar chart and table show the historical performance of the Funds shares and provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the Funds total returns have varied
from year to year, while the table compares the Funds average annual total returns to the returns of an average of money funds with similar objectives and an index of funds with similar investment objectives. Please keep in mind that past
performance does not represent how the Fund will perform in the future. Investors may obtain the Funds current 7-Day Net Yield or updated performance information at www.bmofundsus.com.
