MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Semi-Annual Report
as of June 30, 1996

The Navigator Prime Portfolio (the "Fund") is a special purpose money market 
fund. As such, it is structured to meet the potentially volatile balances 
attributed to the 100% securities lending composition of its participants. 
The Fund was managed consistently with its objective of providing liquidity, 
preservation of capital and high quality investments while offering 
competitive returns.

The volatility in the marketplace during the inception of the Fund has 
provided several investment opportunities. The evidence of continued growth 
in the U.S. economy and inflationary pressure during the second quarter, 
helped to move rates higher as the market anticipated a 25 basis point 
tightening by the Federal Reserve at their August meeting. The forward rate 
curve at the end of the second quarter, implied that the marketplace was 
looking for several tightening moves by the Federal Reserve during the 
following four quarters. However, with the release of the July unemployment 
figures depicting a slowdown in employment and lower wages coupled with 
weaker  housing  sales, the market sentiment has now changed. A neutral 
policy by the Federal Reserve is currently expected until further evidence of 
direction in the economy is provided.

The Fund's investments during this reporting period included floating rate 
and fixed rate securities. Investment decisions were based on relative 
values in the marketplace. Nearly one third of the Fund is invested in 
floating rate securities using standard money market indexes, such as one- 
and three-month LIBOR, three month Treasury Bills and the Federal Funds rate. 
These securities offer higher rates of return relative to LIBOR than 
comparable effective duration fixed rate securities. The average maturity of 
the Fund was targeted close to the Donoghue's first tier institutional 
category and was 45 days as of June 30, 1996.

NAVIGATOR SECURITIES LENDING TRUST
NAVIGATOR PRIME PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  ORGANIZATION AND FUND DESCRIPTION
The Navigator Securities Lending Trust (the "Trust")  was organized as a 
Massachusetts business trust on June 15, 1995 and is registered under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end 
management investment company. The Trust has established three series of 
shares of beneficial interest representing interests in three separate 
portfolios: Navigator Government Portfolio,  Navigator Prime Portfolio  and 
Navigator Short-Term Bond Portfolio.  Currently, only Navigator Prime 
Portfolio ("the Fund") has commenced operations. The Fund is a money market 
pooled fund used as a vehicle for the investment of cash collateral received 
in conjunction with securities loans under the Global Securities Lending 
Program maintained by State Street Bank and Trust Company.  The Fund's 
objective is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the 
preservation of capital and liquidity. Participation in the Trust is limited 
to participants in the Global Securities Lending Program. 

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

SECURITY VALUATION: Investments are valued at amortized cost, which 
approximates market value.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions 
are recorded on trade date.  Realized gains and losses on sales of securities 
are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded 
on the accrual basis.  Interest income is increased by accretion of discount 
and reduced by amortization of premium.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:  A repurchase agreement customarily obligates the 
seller at the time it sells securities to the Fund to repurchase the 
securities at a mutually agreed upon price and time which, in the case of the 
Fund's transactions, is within seven days.  The total amount received by the 
Fund on repurchase would be calculated to exceed the price paid by the Fund, 
reflecting an agreed upon market rate of interest for the period of time from 
the trade date to the settlement date, and would not necessarily be related 
to the interest rate on the underlying securities.  The underlying securities 
are ordinarily United States government securities, but may consist of other 
securities in which the Fund is permitted to invest.  Repurchase agreements 
will be fully collateralized at all times.  The use of repurchase agreements 
involves certain risks.  For example, if the seller of securities under a 
repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying 
securities, as a result of its bankrupcy or otherwise, the Fund will seek to 
dispose of such securities, which action could involve costs or delays.  The 
Fund may enter into repurchase agreements maturing within seven days with 
domestic dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed to be 
creditworthy by the Adviser, State Street Bank and Trust Company.

ORGANIZATION EXPENSES:  The Fund bears all costs in connection with its 
organization.  All such costs are being amortized using the straight line 
method over a period of five years from commencement of the Fund's 
operations.  

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:  It is the policy of the Fund to distribute all of its 
income within the prescribed time and otherwise comply with the provisions of 
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.  It 
is also the intention of the Fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid 
imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986.  Therefore no provision has been made for federal taxes on income, 
capital gains or unrealized appreciation of securities held and excise tax on 
income and capital gains.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:  The Fund intends to declare and 
pay dividends daily from net investment income.  Distributions from long-term 
capital gains, if any, will be made at least annually.  Income distributions 
and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax 
regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
 
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date 
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.
