Changing Shares From Fund to Fund

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging your shares for shares of any other Commerce Fund. Exchanges may also be made into the Service Shares of Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid Assets Prime Obligations Portfolio (“Money Market Fund”). Goldman Sachs Asset Management, a unit of the Investment Management Division of Goldman, Sachs & Co., and a co-administrator of the Trust, serves as investment adviser for the Money Market Fund. Shares being exchanged are subject to the minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements as described above. The Commerce Funds reserves the right to reject any exchange request and the exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time. At least 60 days’ notice of any material modification or termination of the exchange privilege will be given to shareholders except where notice is not required under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Before exchanging your shares, you should consider carefully the investment objectives, policies, risks and expenses of the Fund you are acquiring. In addition, please see “General Policies” for a description of The Commerce Funds’ excessive trading policies.
