| This actively managed fund employs
an enhanced index strategy. The fund seeks to outperform
the S&P 500 Index (a market-weighted group of 500
large cap US stocks) by limiting deviations from index
returns. The fund invests in a combination of US equity
derivatives and short-term bonds. Bond investments are
made in government, corporate, mortgage-, and asset-backed
securities. |

|
| Enhanced equity index-Appropriate
for investors who seek exposure to the broad large-cap US
equity market. |

| The success of this enhanced equity
index strategy depends on the active management of the
bonds in the fund. Payden & Rygel pioneered the management
of short-term bonds to beat money-market returns. This
expertise is applied in this strategy and seeks to provide
added value over the stock index. |

| The US equity markets returned -9.4%
and started the year with one of the worst quarters since
June 2002. The credit market and banking liquidity crisis
stoked the equity sell-off, threatening prospects for
economic growth. The Federal Reserve initiated several
plans to provide liquidity in attempts to calm the markets,
including a 2% reduction in short-term interest rates
and new facilities to enable banking institutions to
borrow directly from the government. Markets have since
stabilized from earlier volatility in the quarter as
investors have once again begun to focus on corporate
earnings and economic data. Bond markets have been slower
to recover, however, since the debt markets have been
the source of the crisis. The fund maintains its focus
on quality yield instruments and continues to look for
opportunities in market dislocations. |

investing, investors should consider investment objectives,
risks, charges, expenses and other important information,
which are contained in this document; read the prospectus
carefully before investing. Investment in foreign securities
offers different rewards and challenges from investing
in domestic securities, including changes in exchange rates,
political changes, and differences in reporting standards,
and for emerging-market securities, higher volatility.
Investing in high-yield securities offers different rewards
and challenges from investing in investment-grade securities,
including higher volatility, greater credit risk, and the
issuers’ more speculative nature. The Paydenfunds
