Dear Interest Holder:

Enclosed is the report for the month of June 1997 for Willowbridge Strategic
Trust (the 'Trust'). The net asset value of an interest as of June 30, 1997 was
$106.18, a decrease of 5.02% from the May 31, 1997 $111.79 value. The 1997
year-to-date return for the Trust was an increase of 2.62% as of June 30, 1997.

The Trust's decline in net asset value resulted from losses incurred in the
financial, metal, grain, energy and meat sectors. Profits were earned in the
currency, index and soft sectors.

There were a number of cross currents in the European financial and currency
markets in June. These included conflicting market expectations concerning
levels of economic activity in a number of countries, as well as the degree of
stringency that would be required for entrance into the European Monetary Union.
As a result, profits were achieved in the British pound. In the financial
sector, positions in British, German, Swiss and French bonds were unprofitable.
Additionally, Japanese interest rates declined during the month causing moderate
losses in Japanese bonds. These losses were partially offset by profits in the
yen as it strengthened due to Japan's growing trade surplus.

In the metal sector, copper, which was profitable this year for the Trust,
reversed direction mid-month, falling on market concerns which included a
possible seasonal decline in demand in the northern hemisphere. There was also
news that output at Chile's El Teniente mine would return to normal and that
production at Inco's strike-bound Sudbury facility in Canada might resume
production. In the grain sector, profits achieved earlier in the year in the
soybean complex were reduced due to a drop in prices early in June. The earlier
strength in soybean prices had resulted from very tight supplies in the United
States. However, imports of soybeans from Brazil have at least temporarily
alleviated the supply concerns.

The estimated net asset value per interest as of July 21, 1997 was $109.81. Past
performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
