Letter to Shareholders

MARKET ACTIVITY
Overall, 15 of the 20 EAFE(R) markets posted gains for the annual period ended
December 31, 1999 in U.S. dollar terms, and twelve had double-digit returns.
Equities accounted for most of the advance of the MSCI EAFE(R)(1) Index(2),
gaining in eight of the twelve months; currencies lost ground in all but the
third calendar quarter, when both the yen and Euro rallied.


The major story of 1999 was the rather significant market rotations in the
EAFE(R) markets, as Asian and Pacific Rim markets outpaced European markets.
The three biggest influences on EAFE(R) Index performance were the stunning
reversal of the Japanese equity market, the introduction of the Euro, and the
global markets' focus on U.S. Federal Reserve Board interest rate policy.


EUROPE
Regionally, Europe rose 15.9% in U.S. dollar terms during the annual period.
The markets were affected by a strong U.S. dollar, slowing domestic growth
rates, increased competition resulting from the January 1, 1999 introduction of
the common Euro currency, and, during the second half of the year in
particular, concerns about interest rate hikes both from the U.S. Federal
Reserve Board and the European Central Bank. Even so, the European markets
rallied back from a negative first half of 1999 to end the year with
double-digit returns competitive with those of the U.S. equity indices.


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 14.0% during the
   year. Such Euro weakness fueled prospects of export growth on the one hand
   but worried many as it approached parity with the dollar, undermining
   confidence in the new currency. The Euro's lack of strength, of course,
   also dampened European equity returns in U.S. dollar terms.


o  EUROPEAN MARKETS ALSO WERE IMPACTED BY INVESTORS' CONCERNS ABOUT THE
   POSSIBILITY OF U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD ACTION.
   - During the first half of the year, several European governments cut
     interest rates, including Norway, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the
     European Central Bank. This had prompted several equity markets to rally in
     response. In June 1999, European markets rallied further based on 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.
   - However, following its initial June 30th tightening, investors felt further
     interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board would contribute to a
     slowdown in European economic growth amidst an already soft environment.
     After the Bank of England raised rates by 0.25% in September, the markets
     looked toward a possible interest rate rise by the European Central Bank
     during the fourth quarter. Global inflation concerns caused further
     uneasiness and market volatility, as each new piece of economic data
     changed inflation sentiment.


o  ON THE OTHER HAND, EUROPEAN MARKETS RESPONDED POSITIVELY TO RISING MERGER
   ACTIVITY, AS COMPANIES SOUGHT ECONOMIES OF SCALE IN AN ENLARGED "DOMESTIC"
   MARKET.
   - Ongoing merger and acquisition activity also helped to shore up European
     markets by limiting redundancy and raising long-term profit expectations
     within many industries, perhaps most especially the telecommunications
     industry. For example, in April, 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 June, Olivetti had won the battle for Telecom
     Italia in the largest leveraged buyout in European history, buoying
     somewhat the European markets overall. During the fourth quarter, too,
     merger and acquisition speculation in the telecommunications sector pushed
     prices higher across Europe.
   - Other activity during the year included Zeneca PLC's (UK) agreement to buy
     Astra (Sweden) and Ford Motor's bid to buy Volvo's car unit in January.
     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. 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 ALSO CONTINUED TO ANNOUNCE BETTER THAN EXPECTED
   EARNINGS. For instance, Finland was a top performing market through much of
   1999, rising on better than expected earnings from Nokia, the global
   telecommunications company whose shares account for more than 70% 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.
   Ericsson of Sweden, a cellular phone provider, fueled strong Scandinavian
   returns in December.


PACIFIC BASIN
The Pacific Basin rose 57.6% in U.S. dollar terms during the 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, WITH ITS EQUITY MARKET RISING BASED
   LARGELY ON STRONG FOREIGN BUYING AND ONGOING GAINS IN BUSINESS SENTIMENT.
   - 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(R) market weight was 24%, the highest level in
     recent years.
   - The rally continued in July, spurred on by positive earnings reports from
     Sony and the brokerage firms. Its equity index, the Nikkei, reached its
     highest level since 1997.
   - Positive economic data continued. The announcement of the mega-merger
     between Dai Ichi Kangyo, Industrial Bank of Japan, and Fuji Bank was a
     major step in the much needed restructuring of the Japanese banking system.
     Industrial production showed increases and GDP growth indicated strength.
   - In December, Japanese technology stocks rallied mid-month after fears of
     U.S. interest rate hikes were abated and continued strong demand for
     Japanese products was forecast. Kyocera,

      an electronics maker, rallied over 125% that month after announcing it is
      buying U.S. mobile phone giant Qualcomm's phone making unit, giving it a
      strong foothold in the North American cellular phone market.


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(R)
   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 ANNUAL PERIOD. --
   Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand were among the stronger performing
   markets in the region.

MANAGER OUTLOOK
Global markets appear poised for another interesting year, especially as the
recent exponential growth of the technology industry continues to impact equity
investments worldwide. Furthermore, economic growth continues to improve
globally, a positive indicator, in our view, that corporate profits will do
likewise.


In Europe, the impact of monetary union will continue to ripple through the
various nations' economies. Mergers and acquisitions are likely to continue and
perhaps even accelerate across most sectors, providing upward price momentum.
In our opinion, in the year 2000, the Euro may recover some of the ground lost
against the dollar during the first tumultuous year since its introduction.
Appreciation of the Euro is particularly likely during the months ahead if
European investors take home some of the profits made in 1999 in the U.S.
equity market and if the U.S. economy begins to lose some of its luster.


In Japan, the forces of modernization will likely continue their battle against
the inertial forces of "Japan, Inc." Following Japan's best annual stock market
performance since 1986 this past year, global investors, still underweighted in
this market, may continue to provide positive price pressure in 2000, as Japan
continues to seek to control costs, improve productivity, and increase the
viability of its banks. Outside of Australia and New Zealand, the rest of
developed Asia may, in our view, increasingly look to the U.S. in 2000, both as
a market for its exports as well as an economic bellwether, especially given
the strong links between their currencies and the dollar.


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(R)
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 DECEMBER 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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 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 $156,730 for the year ended December 31, 1999,
represent foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of
securities, holding of 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 currency gains and losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets
and liabilities at year end exchange rates 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 Sup-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute
substantially 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 the Funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that
Fund, while the expenses which are attributable to more than one Fund of the
Trust are allocated based upon the relative net assets of each Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements -- continued DECEMBER 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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:

</TABLE>

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.

Effective December 1, 1999, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("Investor
Services Group"), the Fund's Administrator and Transfer Agent, became a
majority-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank Corp. As a result of this transaction,
Investor Services Group is now known as PFPC Inc. For services rendered as the
Trust's Administrator, PFPC Inc. receives the following fees, accrued daily,
and paid monthly.

           0.0075%                 Over $5 billion
</TABLE>

PFPC Inc. also receives a $70,000 flat fee per year, per Series of the Trust,
paid monthly.


PFPC Inc. waived $27,500 of its fees for the year ended December 31, 1999.


Bankers Trust Company also serves as custodian for the Fund and receives a fee
for this service.


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.


At December 31, 1999, the Fund was a participant with other affiliated entities
in a revolving credit facility in the amount of $150,000,000, which expires
April 29, 2000. A commitment fee of .10% per annum on the average daily amount
of the available commitment is payable on a quarterly basis and apportioned
equally among all participants. No amounts were drawn down or outstanding for
this Fund under the credit facility for the year ended December 31, 1999.


NOTE 3 -- PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of investments,
other than short-term obligations, for the year ended December 31, 1999, were
$18,825,189 and $11,184,857, respectively.


The gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation and net
unrealized appreciation on the Fund's investments, as computed on a federal
income tax basis, at December 31, 1999 were $12,719,708, $1,926,000 and
$10,793,708, respectively. The aggregate cost of investments as computed on a
federal income tax basis at December 31, 1999 was $43,300,074.


NOTE 4 -- OTHER INFORMATION
Bankers Trust is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust Corporation ("BT
Corp."). On June 4, 1999, BT Corp. was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG ("Deutsche
Bank"). As a result of the transaction, Bankers Trust became an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank.

Report of Independent Auditors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
BT Insurance Funds Trust -- EAFE(R) Equity Index Fund


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of the EAFE(R) Equity Index Fund (the "Fund") as
of December 31, 1999, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in
the period then ended and for the period August 22, 1997 (commencement of
operations) to December 31, 1997. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1999, by correspondence
with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
EAFE(R) Equity Index Fund at December 31, 1999, the results of its operations
for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the
two years in the period then ended and for the period August 22, 1997
(commencement of operations) to December 31, 1997, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
