Moody's ranks five American AAdvantage Funds

AMR Investments, manager of the American AAdvantage Funds, is proud to announce that Moody's Investors Service assigned Aaa money market fund ratings to the American AAdvantage Money Market Select Fund, the American AAdvantage Money Market Fund - Cash Management Class, the American AAdvantage Money Market Fund - Institutional Class, American AAdvantage U.S. Government Money Market Select Fund and the American AAdvantage U.S. Government Money Market Fund - Cash Management Class.

Moody's stated that the Aaa ratings reflect the strong overall credit quality of each fund's investments, solid liquidity management, as well as the conservative investment guidelines and practices of the advisor, AMR Investment Services, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas. These "feeder funds" operate under a "master/feeder" structure and invest all assets in the Aaa rated AMR Investment Services Money Market and U.S. Government Money Market Portfolios, respectively.

In support of its ratings, Moody's cited AMR Investments' policies designed to control credit risk, market risk and cash flow volatility. Moody's also noted that AMR Investments is an experienced fund sponsor with well developed trading, audit, and compliance systems.

Bill Quinn, president of AMR Investments stated, "We are very pleased with the ratings assigned by Moody's to these funds as it recognizes the commitment we have made to providing a very high quality investment vehicle to our shareholders."

AMR Investments began providing short-term fixed income client service as an independent entity in November of 1986. Prior to 1986, its investment officers successfully managed the operating funds of the Treasury department of American Airlines, Inc. Their investment success led to the formal creation of AMR Investments, which provides business management, advisory, administrative, and asset management consulting services to the American AAdvantage Funds,

American Airlines and other institutional investors. AMR Investments offers a variety of investment products to meet the specific individual financial goals of each investor. Assets under management for AMR Investments have grown from $4.9 billion in December 1987 to $32 billion in January 2002.

AMR Investments is a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, parent company of American Airlines. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
