LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

MARKET ACTIVITY
Overall, 15 of the 20 EAFE(R) markets posted gains for the semi-annual period
ended June 30, 1999, and nine had double-digit returns. Equities accounted for
most of the advance of the MSCI EAFE(R) 1 Index2, gaining in each month of the
period except May; currencies lost ground throughout.

The major story of the first half of 1999 was the rather significant market
rotations in the EAFE markets, as European markets pulled back, and Asian and
Pacific Rim markets recovered strongly. The two biggest influences on EAFE Index
performance were the stunning reversal of the Japanese equity market and the
introduction of the Euro.

EUROPE
Regionally, Europe declined 3.2% in U.S. dollar terms during the semi-annual
period. The previously outperforming European markets were hurt by a strong U.S.
dollar, slowing domestic growth rates, and increased competition resulting from
the January 1, 1999 introduction of the common Euro currency.

o  GREAT EXPECTATIONS FOR THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED INTRODUCTION OF THE EURO IN
   JANUARY HAD FUELED A STRONG EUROPEAN MARKET IN 1998 AND INTO JANUARY 1999,
   ONLY TO DISAPPOINT LATER. Strategists expected impressive capital flows into
   Europe as the unified market promoted a more stable economic environment and
   greater transparency in financial reporting. However, the Euro's value versus
   the U.S. dollar declined by about 13% since its inception, dampening European
   equity returns in U.S. dollar terms.

o ON THE OTHER HAND, EUROPEAN MARKETS RESPONDED TO SEVERAL POSITIVE FACTORS AS
  WELL.

  o MERGER ACTIVITY ROSE AS COMPANIES SOUGHT ECONOMIES OF SCALE IN AN ENLARGED
    "DOMESTIC" MARKET. -- For example, in January, Zeneca PLC (UK) agreed to buy
    Astra (Sweden), and Ford Motor bid to buy Volvo's car unit. France's Societe
    Generale bought competitor Paribas in February, and other bank stocks rose
    as investors felt there would be more mergers in the fragmented European
    banking sector. Takeover activity remained strong in April, as Deutsche
    Telecom and Telecom Italia announced a merger in an attempt to fend off
    Olivetti's bid for the Italian phone company. By the end of the semi-annual
    period, Olivetti had won the battle for Telecom Italia in the largest
    leveraged buyout in European history, buoying somewhat the European markets
    overall. Also in June, Repsol, the Spanish energy firm, received shareholder
    approval for its bid to buy YPF, the Argentinian oil company.

  o MANY EUROPEAN COMPANIES CONTINUED TO ANNOUNCE BETTER THAN EXPECTED EARNINGS.
    -- For instance, Finland was a top performing market during the first
    quarter of 1999, rising on better than expected earnings from Nokia, the
    global telecommunications company whose shares account for more than 50% of
    the Finnish market. Austria was the top performing market in February,
    rising on better than expected earnings from Bank Austria, the country's
    largest bank.

  o EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS CONTINUED TO CUT INTEREST RATES. -- Norway, the United
    Kingdom, Switzerland, and the European Central Bank each cut rates,
    prompting several equity markets to rally in response.


  o POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC EVENTS PROMPTED STRONG REACTION. -- In March 1999,
    German Finance Minister LaFontaine resigned amid disagreements over policy
    matters. European equity markets rallied on the news, as investors felt that
    the new Minister, Eichel, would be more pro-business. In June 1999, European
    markets rallied in response to lower than expected U.S. inflation figures
    and the perception that the Federal Reserve Board would not necessarily be
    inclined to raise U.S. interest rates further.

PACIFIC BASIN
The Pacific Basin rose 21% in U.S. dollar terms during the semi-annual period.
The previously struggling Asian and Pacific Rim markets rallied back from 1998's
global economic woes primarily due to falling domestic interest rates, stable
currencies, strong domestic consumption, and improving exports.

o  JAPAN HAD A PARTICULARLY STRONG SHOWING IN THE LAST MONTH OF ITS FISCAL YEAR,
   MARCH 1999, WITH ITS EQUITY MARKET RISING BASED LARGELY ON STRONG FOREIGN
   BUYING. -- Foreigners bought 1.7 trillion yen in March, the largest monthly
   amount on record. The bullishness arose after several companies announced
   restructuring plans, with the goal of increasing profitability. Some of the
   companies included Sony, Oji Paper, and Japan Airlines. By May, the Japanese
   market reversed some of its earlier gains, as foreign demand for stock turned
   negative after four consecutive months of aggressive buying by foreign hedge
   funds, asset allocators and active managers. In June, Japan's equity market
   rallied back, spurred on by signs of economic recovery and continued foreign
   buying of Japanese shares. At June 30, 1999, Japan's EAFE market weight was
   24%, the highest level in recent years.

o  HONG KONG'S EQUITY MARKET ROSE, AS INVESTORS BECAME MORE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT
   CORPORATE EARNINGS. -- In addition, the Hong Kong government announced in
   March that it would be selling its $23 billion stock portfolio over the next
   three years. In April, Hong Kong was the best performing EAFE market, as
   foreigners increased their equity allocation to the market when the Hong Kong
   central bank cut its interest rates by 0.25% to 8.5% and the property market
   strengthened.

o  ENCOURAGED BY INVESTOR CONFIDENCE OF ECONOMIC RECOVERY IN THE REGION, OTHER
   ASIAN EQUITY MARKETS ALSO PERFORMED WELL FOR THE SEMI-ANNUAL PERIOD.
   -- Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand were among the stronger performing
   markets in the region.

MANAGER OUTLOOK
A fundamental reassessment of the global economic outlook was the big story for
the financial markets during the first half of 1999. The nightmare scenarios of
Armageddon, deflation and financial meltdown that prevailed late last year were
replaced by signs of improving growth, particularly in Asia. These emerging
market economies

saw their currencies as well as their fixed income and equity markets bounce
back sharply. Nascent signs of a recovery in the long-suffering Japanese economy
were key to this recovery. In Europe, signs of vitality were a little harder to
come by, but things do seem to be pointing up as we look ahead, giving some
support to equities.

Provided the monetary tightening in the U.S. remains fairly modest, it is
unlikely to cause serious repercussions in the rest of the world. In Europe, we
expect growth to improve gradually over the balance of the year, bringing to an
end the period of monetary easing. Given the slack in these economies, however,
there is no serious threat, we believe, of overheating or monetary tightening in
the foreseeable future. Equity markets in Europe should perform well against the
backdrop of improving growth and still-benign inflation. We remain somewhat
skeptical that a full-fledged recovery is underway in Japan, though the worst is
probably past.

Of course, as an index fund, designed to replicate as closely as possible,
before expenses, the broad diversification and total return of the MSCI EAFE
Index with net dividends, we neither evaluate short-term fluctuations in the
Fund's performance nor manage according to a given outlook for the equity
markets or the economies in general. Still, we will continue monitoring economic
conditions and how they affect the financial markets.

BT INSURANCE FUNDS TRUST EAFE(R) EQUITY INDEX FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. ORGANIZATION
The BT Insurance Funds Trust (the "Trust"), is currently comprised of seven
series: Equity 500 Index Fund, Small Cap Index Fund, EAFE(R) Equity Index Fund,
International Equity Fund, Small Cap Fund, U.S. Bond Index Fund, and the Managed
Assets Fund. The Trust is an open-end management investment company which is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "Act"). The
Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 19, 1996.

The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the
EAFE(R) Equity Index Fund (the "Fund") which commenced operations on August 22,
1997.

B. SECURITY VALUATION
The portfolio's investments, which are traded on a recognized stock exchange or
for which price quotations are available, are valued each business day on the
basis of market valuations furnished by an independent pricing service approved
by the Board of Trustees. Securities traded on national stock exchanges or other
domestic exchanges are valued based on the closing price of the security traded
on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. Short-term
obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost. Other short-term debt securities are valued on a mark-to-market basis
until such time as they reach a remaining maturity of 60 days, whereupon they
will be valued at amortized cost using their value on the 61st day. All other
securities and other assets are valued at their fair value as determined in good
faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.

C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income,
less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon
receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of
premium and discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

D. FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Fund may enter into financial futures contracts which are contracts to buy a
standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future date. The Fund
is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain
percentage of the contract amount. Variation margin payments are made or
received by the Fund each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value
of the underlying security, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as
unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. The Fund's investments in financial
futures contracts are designed to enable the Fund to closely replicate the
benchmark index used by the Fund. Risks arise from possible illiquidity of the
futures market and from movements in security values.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the
board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

E. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. A forward
foreign currency exchange contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a
specific currency at a specified price at a future date. These contracts are
used in an attempt to protect against fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates that would adversely affect the portfolio position or an anticipated
investment position. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at
the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency. Gains or losses on
the purchase or sale of forward foreign currency exchange contracts having the
same settlement date and broker are recognized on the date of offset, otherwise
gains or losses are recognized on the settlement date. The use of forward
foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the
underlying prices of the Fund's securities. but it does establish a rate of
exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency
exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the
hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the
value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks
if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their
contracts.

F. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under
forward foreign exchange currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at
the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S.
dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated into U.S.
dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired
or sold. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of
exchange prevailing when earned or accrued.

Net foreign exchange losses of $44,639 represent foreign exchange gains and
losses from holding foreign currencies, exchange gains or losses realized
between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the
difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the Fund's
books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.

Net unrealized currency gains and losses from valuing foreign currency
denominated assets and liabilities are reflected as a component of net
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, assets and liabilities in
foreign currency and futures contracts.

G. FOREIGN SECURITIES
The Fund invests in foreign securities. Investing in securities of foreign
companies involves special risks and considerations not typically associated
with investing in the securities of U.S. companies. These risks include
re-evaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and their markets
may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of
comparable U.S. companies.

H. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Fund intends to continue to elect to be treated as a "regulated investment
company" under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all
of its net taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes
has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

I. EXPENSES
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of
each of its Series. Expenses directly attributable to a Series

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
are charged to that Series, while the expenses which are attributable to more
than one Series of the Trust are allocated based upon the relative net assets of
each Series.

J. ORGANIZATION COSTS
Costs incurred in connection with the Fund's organization are being amortized on
a straight-line basis over five years commencing on August 22, 1997. In the
event that any of the initial shares are redeemed during such amortization
period, the redemption proceeds will be reduced for any unamortized organization
costs in the same proportion as the number of shares redeemed bears to the
number of initial shares outstanding at the time of the redemption.

K. DIVIDENDS FROM NET INVESTMENT INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS
Dividends from net investment income and net realized gains from investment
transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders annually.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with
federal tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these differences are
permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require such
reclassification.

Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may involve short-term
capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.

L. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest with a par value of $0.001 per share. Transactions in shares of
beneficial interest were as follows:

M. OTHER
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 -- FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the Advisory Agreement with Bankers Trust Company (the "Advisor"), the
Fund will pay an advisory fee at an annual percentage rate of 0.45% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund. These fees are accrued daily and paid
monthly. The Advisor has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fee and to
reimburse the Fund for certain expenses so that the Fund's total operating
expenses will not exceed 0.65% of average daily net assets. For the six months
ended June 30, 1999, the gross Advisory fee and waiver were as follows:

the Trust, paid monthly.

30, 1999.

The Trust does not compensate its officers or affiliated trustees. Each
independent trustee is paid $1,250 per Board of Trustees meeting attended and a
quarterly retainer of $2,500.
