FUND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     THE TIP TARGET SELECT EQUITY FUND seeks long-term growth of capital. It
invests primarily in U.S. stocks. Each investment firm chosen to manage assets
in the fund invests in a maximum of 20 stocks and and as few as 10 stocks that
it believes have the greatest return potential. Such a focused stock-selection
process permits the firms to act on only the investment ideas that they think
are the strongest. In the process, the fund provides two levels of
diversification: diversification in total holdings and diversification in
investment styles.

TIP TARGET SELECT EQUITY FUND

For the six-month period ended March 31, 2000, the TIP Target Select Equity Fund
delivered a total return of 77.72%, compared with a total return of 17.51% for
its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.
     The fund continued to pursue a multi-manager approach through its
sub-advisers, Turner Investment Partners and Penn Capital Management Company.
Under this arrangement, the firms are asked to select the most promising
securities on their respective radar screens, in an effort to represent the
"best of the best" in each sub-adviser's style.
     Both of the sectors represented within the fund performed well during the
period. Growth stocks continued to deliver solid gains despite weaknesses in the
Internet sector. Value stocks posted some of their best gains in years thanks to
a flight to quality during the market's more volatile periods.
     Turner Investment Partners represents the growth portion of the fund, with
particular concentration on technology-oriented issues. Top performers among its
holdings during the period included Qualcomm, a leading cell phone manufacturer;
Cisco Systems, the top producer of data communications equipment, and JDS
Uniphase, a leader in fiber optic networking products.
     Penn Capital Management Company represents the value portion of the fund,
seeking companies that are not only undervalued, but also fast-growing. Among
the leading performers among Penn Capital's holdings for the period were Tyco
International, an industrial conglomerate; Kimberly-Clark Corporation, the
world's largest paper products manufacturer; and Omnicom Group, an advertising
agency holding company.
     Looking ahead, we believe that the fund's combination of growth and value
will continue to provide capital appreciation potential, as well as an element
of cushioning through the relatively moderate price-earnings ratios of value
stocks.

March 31, 2000                                                       (Unaudited)


1.  ORGANIZATION:
TIP FUNDS (the "Trust") a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management
investment company with 19 portfolios. The financial statements included herein
is for the TIP Target Select Equity Fund (the "Target Select Equity Fund") (the
"Fund"). The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately. The assets of each fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest
is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund's prospectus
provides a description of the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and
strategies. The Fund is non-diversified, and may therefore be invested in equity
securities of a limited number of issues.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund.

     SECURITY VALUATION -- Investments in equity securities which are traded on
     a national exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market system) are
     stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such equity
     securities on each business day; other equity securities traded in the
     over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was
     reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is the Fund's intention to qualify as a
     regulated investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions
     of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision
     for Federal income taxes is required.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME -- Security transactions are
     accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
     Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income
     is recognized on the accrual basis. Costs used in determining realized
     gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the
     specific securities sold during the respective holding period.

     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of the Fund is
     calculated on each business day, by dividing the total value of the Fund's
     assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
     agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements
     mature. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market
     value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient
     in the event of default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults
     and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an
     insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be
     delayed or limited.

     EXPENSES -- Expenses that are directly related to the Fund are charged to
     the Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the funds
     on the basis of relative daily net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)                              TIP FUNDS
March 31, 2000                                                       (Unaudited)

     DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income
     are declared and paid to Shareholders on a quarterly basis. Any net
     realized capital gains on sales of securities are distributed to
     Shareholders at least annually.

     Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized
     capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax
     regulations. Certain book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent
     in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged
     or credited to paid-in-capital or accumulated net realized gain, as
     appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

     USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and
     expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

3.   ORGANIZATION COSTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
Organization costs have been capitalized by the Fund and are being amortized
over a period of sixty months. In the event any of the initial shares of a Fund
are redeemed by any holder thereof during the period that such Fund is
amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption proceeds payable to the
holder thereof by the Fund will be reduced by the unamortized organizational
costs in the same ratio as the number of initial shares outstanding at the time
of redemption.

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of SEI Investments Mutual Funds
Services (the "Administrator") and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the
"Distributor"). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as
officers and trustees of the Trust.

4.  ADMINISTRATION, SHAREHOLDER SERVICING, AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS:

5.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT:
The Trust and Turner Investment Partners, Inc. (the "Adviser") are parties to an
Investment Advisory Agreement dated April 30, 1996, under which the Adviser
receives an annual fee equal to 1.05% of the average daily net assets of the
Target Select Equity Fund. The Fund currently has two Sub-Advisers -- Clover
Capital Management, Inc., and Penn Capital Management, Inc. (each a
"Sub-Adviser" and collectively, the "Sub-Advisers"). Each Sub-Adviser manages a
portion of the Fund's assets, which allocation is determined by the Trustees
upon the recommendation of the Adviser. As of March 31, 2000, Clover Capital
Management did not manage any assets of the Fund. On February 22, 2000,

services, each of the Sub-Advisers is entitled to receive a fee from Turner
Investment Partners, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual
rate of .80% of the average daily net assets of the Fund allocated to them. The
Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its fees and to
reimburse expenses of the Target Select Equity Fund in order to limit its total
operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets on an annualized
basis) to not more than 1.30%. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are
voluntary and may be terminated at any time.
