DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
We are pleased to provide you with the 1999 GE Lifestyle Funds Annual Report.

MARKET REVIEW

For the past six months the U.S. stock market, as represented by the S&P 500
Index, has been in a narrow trading range, reaching a new high in July, and
testing the March lows in mid-September. The U.S. stock market has enjoyed a
high valuation level for the past few years, reflecting the uniquely favorable
investment climate of steady growth and low inflation. On the other hand, this
market remains vulnerable to high volatility given these valuation levels.

We entered 1999 with many investors fearing that the financial collapse of
Southeast Asia and Russia would cause a global recession. However, rather than
slowing down, the U.S. economy has remained very strong. Europe is improving,
and much of Asia is showing encouraging signs of recovery as well. Now the worry
is that strong non-inflationary growth might become unsustainable, causing
inflationary pressures that could put an end to the favorable investment
climate.

This fear is reflected by the long-term Treasury bond rate that rose to
a high of 6.25% and currently is around 6.0%, up 150 basis points (1.50%) from
the lows of last Fall. The Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has followed the bond
market, taking back two-thirds of last Fall's rate easing by raising short-term
rates 50 basis points (0.50%), and we believe that the Fed will tighten again.

All of this is happening in an environment that exhibits few signs of potential
inflationary pressures. Oil prices have doubled from February's lows and are
back to the levels experienced in 1996. The U.S. dollar has declined against the
Japanese Yen, potentially leading to a rising cost of exports, and the
unemployment rate remains stubbornly low. However, since the oil shock of the
1970s, commodities, including oil, have shrunk significantly as a percentage of
U.S. business costs, the dollar is holding up well against the currencies of our
other trading partners, and labor costs are remarkably benign due to strong
gains in productivity. At the same time, the rest of the world is following the
U.S. example of restructuring and regulatory reform, and U.S. businesses, in the
second phase of restructuring, continue to redeploy capital into more
productive, higher-return industries, all of which is disinflationary.

OUTLOOK

Company fundamentals are strong, with earnings growth accelerating after last
Fall's slowdown. Companies that benefit from globalization and disinflation are
among the earnings leaders, but many of these companies have enjoyed extremely
high valuation levels. Thus, with the stock market still at high valuation
levels, and with market leadership remaining stubbornly narrow, we believe the
stock market will remain hostage to the bond market for the foreseeable future,
and volatility should also remain high. Therefore, our bottom up stock picking
approach should continue to add value for our investors during this period of
high volatility.

YEAR 2000

We are increasingly confident that most U.S. companies have addressed their Year
2000 ("Y2K") issues and do not anticipate any significant impact on U.S. markets
because of Y2K-related disruptions. There is some uncertainty, however, about
the Y2K readiness of companies in other parts of the world and how much effect
any lack of preparation will have on the global economy.

The GE LifeStyle Funds' adviser, GE Investment Management Incorporated ("GEIM"),
has incorporated "Year 2000 Y2K" readiness capability into its analysis
processes for the investment portfolios it manages. It has been engaged in a
multi-year effort to address its own Y2K date-related issues in a broad range of
areas including applications, process-enabling systems and facilities. GEIM also
benefits from the Y2K efforts of its parent,

General Electric Company, which systematically monitors the implementation of
the Y2K programs of all GE businesses and facilitates the sharing of best
practices. With respect to third-party systems, GEIM like many similar
companies, must rely largely on the efforts and affirmations of others; however,
it will continue to work closely with our most critical vendors, State Street
Bank and Trust Company, the funds' custodian and National Financial Data
Services, Inc., the funds' transfer agent. Although the interaction of various
software and hardware elements is highly complex -- and the possibility of Y2K
related problems cannot be totally eliminated -- GEIM believes it is taking the
appropriate steps.

Thank you for your continued investment in the GE LifeStyle Funds. We look
forward to helping you serve your financial needs in the future.

Sincerely,

** THE COMPOSITE INDEX IS DERIVED BY APPLYING EACH UNDERLYING FUND'S
   TARGET ALLOCATIONS TO THE RESULTS OF THE CORRESPONDING BENCHMARKS FOR THE
   DOMESTIC EQUITY, INTERNATIONAL EQUITY, AND FIXED INCOME MARKETS.



The GE Conservative Allocation Fund currently targets 56% to fixed income
securities, 26% to domestic equities and 18% to international equities. As of
September 30, 1999, actual equity and fixed income holdings were slightly under
the targets. The fund has a high weighting in fixed income securities because
its long-term goal is preservation of capital. With a 44% target allocation in
equities, the fund also offers some opportunity for capital appreciation. We
believe that this fund should show its best relative performance in times of
economic uncertainty.

Fixed income securities posted negative returns for the first nine months of
1999. The yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds rose all year and reached 6.05%
on September 30, 1999. Strong economic growth and the lowest unemployment rate
in 35 years raised the specter of inflation for investors. While there is little
evidence that inflation is actually rising, the U.S. Federal Reserve took the
precaution of raising short-term interest rates twice. There is concern that the
Federal Reserve will tighten at least once more, restoring rates to the level
that existed before the collapse of Russian markets in 1998. In this
environment, the underlying GE Fixed Income Fund slightly underperformed its
benchmark for the nine-month period because of its slightly longer duration.

Equities had modestly positive gains during the reporting period, as the fear of
rising inflation also had a negative impact on the stock market. Combined, the
portfolio's four U.S. equity segments outperformed the S&P 500 Index over nine
months because of good stock selection. The underlying GE Premier Growth Equity
Fund gained 12.42%, significantly outpacing the S&P 500 Index because of its
overweight position in technology stocks. The underlying GE Value Equity Fund
returned 6.61%, better than its benchmark, the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index,
because of good stock selection in the energy and consumer sectors. The
underlying GE U.S. Equity Fund gained 6.84%, nicely outperforming the S&P 500
Index, because of good stock selection in consumer cyclicals. An underweight
position in technology hurt the underlying GE Mid-Cap Growth Fund, which
returned -4.04%, underperforming the S&P 400 MidCap Index. Generally, large-cap
stocks outperformed mid-caps for the period.

The portfolio's underlying GE International Equity Fund earned 7.71%, modestly
lagging its benchmark because it was underweight in Japanese stocks and
overweight in European stocks, where the economic recovery has taken longer than
anticipated. The environment in Europe is expected to improve in 2000 because of
lower interest rates, recent moves to deregulate the economy and benefits
arising from the introduction of the Euro.

** THE COMPOSITE INDEX IS DERIVED BY APPLYING EACH UNDERLYING FUND'S
   TARGET ALLOCATIONS TO THE RESULTS OF THE CORRESPONDING BENCHMARKS FOR THE
   DOMESTIC EQUITY, INTERNATIONAL EQUITY, AND FIXED INCOME MARKETS.



The GE Moderate Allocation Fund currently targets 38% to domestic equities, 25%
to international equities, and 37% to fixed income securities. As of September
30, 1999, actual equity holdings were slightly under the targets while fixed
income holdings were slightly over the target. The fund's long-term goal is to
preserve capital while participating in the potential appreciation that equity
investments offer. We believe that this fund should provide good relative
performance in both up and down markets since the fixed income component offers
protection in down markets and the international equity component provides
diversification and the potential for superior long-term growth.

Equities had modestly positive gains during the reporting period, as the fear of
rising inflation had a negative impact on the stock market. Combined, the
portfolio's four U.S. equity segments outperformed the S&P 500 Index over nine
months because of good stock selection. The underlying GE Premier Growth Equity

returned 6.61%, better than its benchmark, the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index,
because of good stock selection in the energy and consumer sectors. The
underlying GE U.S. Equity Fund gained 6.84%, nicely outperforming the S&P 500
Index, because of good stock selection in consumer cyclicals. An underweight
position in technology hurt the underlying GE Mid-Cap Growth Fund, which
returned -4.04%, underperforming the S&P 400 MidCap Index. Generally, large-cap

** THE COMPOSITE INDEX IS DERIVED BY APPLYING EACH UNDERLYING FUND'S
   TARGET ALLOCATIONS TO THE RESULTS OF THE CORRESPONDING BENCHMARKS FOR THE
   DOMESTIC EQUITY, INTERNATIONAL EQUITY, AND FIXED INCOME MARKETS.





The GE Aggressive Allocation Fund currently targets 49% to domestic equities,
32% to international equities, and 19% to fixed income securities. As of
September 30, 1999, actual equity holdings were slightly under the targets while
fixed income holdings were slightly over the target. The fund has a high
weighting in equities because its long-term goal is appreciation of capital. We
believe that this fund should provide good relative performance in up markets.
However, the fixed income holdings provide some protection in times of economic
uncertainty. When stock markets around the world are doing well, this fund
generally will outperform the GE Moderate Allocation and Conservative Allocation
Funds.

Equities had modestly positive gains during the reporting period, as the fear of
rising inflation had a negative impact on the stock market. Combined, the
portfolio's four U.S. equity segments outperformed the S&P 500 Index over nine
months because of good stock selection. The underlying GE Premier Growth Equity
Fund gained 12.42%, significantly outpacing the S&P 500 Index because of its
overweight position in technology stocks. The underlying GE Value Equity Fund
returned 6.61%, better than its benchmark, the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index,
because of good stock selection in the energy and consumer sectors. The
underlying GE U.S. Equity Fund gained 6.84%, nicely outperforming the S&P 500
Index, because of good stock selection in consumer cyclicals. An underweight
position in technology hurt the underlying GE Mid-Cap Growth Fund, which
returned -4.04%, underperforming the S&P 400 MidCap Index. Generally, large-cap
stocks outperformed mid-caps for the period.

The portfolio's underlying GE International Equity Fund earned 7.71%, modestly
lagging its benchmark because it was underweight in Japanese stocks and
overweight in European stocks, where the economic recovery has taken longer than
anticipated. The environment in Europe is expected to improve in 2000 because of
lower interest rates, recent moves to deregulate the economy and benefits
arising from the introduction of the Euro.

Fixed income securities posted negative returns for the first nine months of
1999. The yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds rose all year and reached 6.05%
on September 30, 1999. Strong economic growth and the lowest unemployment rate
in 35 years raised the specter of inflation for investors. While there is little
evidence that inflation is actually rising, the U.S. Federal Reserve took the
precaution of raising short-term interest rates twice. There is concern that the
Federal Reserve will tighten at least once more, restoring rates to the level
that existed before the collapse of Russian markets in 1998. In this
environment, the underlying GE Fixed Income Fund slightly underperformed its
benchmark for the nine-month period because of its slightly longer duration.

NOTES TO PERFORMANCE (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information on the preceding performance pages relating to the Funds' total
return and portfolio allocation are audited, all other information on the
performance pages is unaudited.

Total returns are historical and assume changes in share price, reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains, if any. Past performance is not indicative of
future results of the fund. Investment returns and net asset value on an
investment will fluctuate and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your
shares.

The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or bear certain fees and
expenses of both the funds and the underlying GE Funds. Without these
provisions, the performance returns would have been lower. These provisions may
be renewed or discontinued in the future.

The Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Composite Stock Price Index of stocks (S&P
500), Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index
(MSCI EAFE) and the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index
(LB Int. Gov't/Corp) are unmanaged indices and do not reflect the actual cost of
investing in the instruments that comprise each index. The S&P 500 Index is a
composite of the prices of 500 widely held stocks recognized by investors to be
representative of the U.S. stock market in general. The MSCI EAFE is a composite
of foreign securities traded in 20 developed markets representing Europe,
Australasia and the Far East. The LB Int. Gov't/Corp is comprised of the
Government bonds and Corporate bonds portion of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index (LB Aggregate). The LB Aggregate is a composite index of short-,
medium-, and long-term bond performance and is widely recognized as a barometer
of the bond market in general. The results shown for the foregoing indices
assume reinvestment of net dividends or interest.

Total returns for the Composite Index are derived by applying the fund's target
allocations to the results of the corresponding benchmarks for the domestic
equity market, the S&P 500; for the international equity market, the MSCI EAFE;
and for the fixed income bond market, the LB Int. Gov't/Corp.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDS

GE LifeStyle Funds ("LifeStyle Funds" or the "Trust") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end,
management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on June 21, 1996, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number
of shares. It is currently comprised of six investment funds (each a "Fund" and
collectively the "Funds"), three of which are included in a separate annual
report. Each Fund operates as a "fund-of-funds" in that it makes investments in
a select group of underlying GE Funds ("Underlying Funds") suited to the Fund's
particular investment objective. The objectives of the funds are as follows:

GE Conservative Allocation Fund's investment objective is income and long-term
growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investment in
a mix of equity-oriented funds and fixed income-oriented funds, with a bias
toward equity-oriented or fixed income-oriented funds to be determined by then
current market forces.

GE Moderate Allocation Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of
capital with a moderate level of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its
objective through investment in various equity-oriented funds and fixed
income-oriented funds, with the bias toward equity-oriented funds for enhanced
growth potential.

GE Aggressive Allocation Fund's investment objective is capital appreciation.
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investment in a selection of
equity-oriented funds and fixed income-oriented funds, typically with a strong
bias under normal market conditions toward equity-oriented funds for substantial
growth potential.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Trust:

SECURITY VALUATION AND TRANSACTIONS
Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value
per share of each Underlying Fund as reported on each business day. Short-term
investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest.

Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Capital gain
distribution from investments in the Underlying Funds are included in the
Statement of Operations in realized gain/loss on investments.Realized gains and
losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost
for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each of the Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. The Funds' custodian
takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase
agreements on behalf of the Funds. The Funds value the underlying collateral
daily on a mark-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued
interest, is at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price. In the event the
seller defaults and the value of the security declines, or if the seller enters
insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed
or limited.

INCOME TAXES
The Funds intend to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all
of their taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to their
shareholders and, therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made.
Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.

Any net capital and currency
losses incurred after October 31, within each Fund's tax year, are deemed to
arise on the first day of the Fund's next tax year if the Fund so elects to
defer such losses. The Funds incurred and elected to defer losses after
October 31, 1998, as follows:

               FUND                     CURRENCY            CAPITAL
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conservative Allocation Fund            $  --               $  196


DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Funds declare and pay dividends of investment income and net realized
capital gains annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is
determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the
Funds' capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution
(or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regula-

                                       13

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


tions. These reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized
gains or losses, or net asset value of the Funds. The calculation of net
investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these
adjustments.

INVESTMENT INCOME
Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

EXPENSES
The Funds pay a fee to GE Investment Management, Incorporated ("GEIM") for the
Funds' advisory and administration services. This fee includes any normal
operating expenses payable by the Funds, except for fees paid to the Trust's
independent Trustees and transfer agent. Until further notice, GEIM has agreed
to reimburse the Funds for Trustee and transfer agency costs.

3.   FEES AND COMPENSATION
     PAID TO AFFILIATES


ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION FEES
Compensation of GEIM for investment advisory and administrative services is paid
monthly based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. The advisory and
administration fees payable to GEIM for each Fund are calculated at the annual
rate of 0.20%.


TRUSTEES COMPENSATION
The Funds pay no compensation to their Trustees who are employees of GEIM.
Trustees who are not such officers or employees receive an annual fee of $2,000
and an additional fee of $500 for each Trustees' meeting attended in person.


OTHER
For the period ended September 30, 1999, the Trust was informed that GE
Investment Distributors, Inc., acting as underwriter, did not receive
commissions from the sale of shares.


4.   AGGREGATE UNREALIZED APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments for each
Fund at September 30, 1999, were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Trustees of GE LifeStyle Funds

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the funds constituting GE LifeStyle Funds (the "Trust") at September 30,
1999, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and
the financial highlights for the periods from December 31, 1998 (inception date)
to September 30, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of investments owned at September 30, 1999 by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

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

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
We are pleased to provide you with the 1999 GE Lifestyle Funds Annual Report.

MARKET REVIEW

For the past six months the U.S. stock market, as represented by the S&P 500
Index, has been in a narrow trading range, reaching a new high in July, and
testing the March lows in mid-September. The U.S. stock market has enjoyed a
high valuation level for the past few years, reflecting the uniquely favorable
investment climate of steady growth and low inflation. On the other hand, this
market remains vulnerable to high volatility given these valuation levels.

We entered 1999 with many investors fearing that the financial collapse of
Southeast Asia and Russia would cause a global recession. However, rather than
slowing down, the U.S. economy has remained very strong. Europe is improving,
and much of Asia is showing encouraging signs of recovery as well. Now the worry
is that strong non-inflationary growth might become unsustainable, causing
inflationary pressures that could put an end to the favorable investment
climate.

This fear is reflected by the long-term Treasury bond rate that rose to
a high of 6.25% and currently is around 6.0%, up 150 basis points (1.50%) from
the lows of last Fall. The Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has followed the bond
market, taking back two-thirds of last Fall's rate easing by raising short-term
rates 50 basis points (0.50%), and we believe that the Fed will tighten again.

All of this is happening in an environment that exhibits few signs of potential
inflationary pressures. Oil prices have doubled from February's lows and are
back to the levels experienced in 1996. The U.S. dollar has declined against the
Japanese Yen, potentially leading to a rising cost of exports, and the
unemployment rate remains stubbornly low. However, since the oil shock of the
1970s, commodities, including oil, have shrunk significantly as a percentage of
U.S. business costs, the dollar is holding up well against the currencies of our
other trading partners, and labor costs are remarkably benign due to strong
gains in productivity. At the same time, the rest of the world is following the
U.S. example of restructuring and regulatory reform, and U.S. businesses, in the
second phase of restructuring, continue to redeploy capital into more
productive, higher-return industries, all of which is disinflationary.

OUTLOOK

Company fundamentals are strong, with earnings growth accelerating after last
Fall's slowdown. Companies that benefit from globalization and disinflation are
among the earnings leaders, but many of these companies have enjoyed extremely
high valuation levels. Thus, with the stock market still at high valuation
levels, and with market leadership remaining stubbornly narrow, we believe the
stock market will remain hostage to the bond market for the foreseeable future,
and volatility should also remain high. Therefore, our bottom up stock picking
approach should continue to add value for our investors during this period of
high volatility.

YEAR 2000

We are increasingly confident that most U.S. companies have addressed their Year
2000 ("Y2K") issues and do not anticipate any significant impact on U.S. markets
because of Y2K-related disruptions. There is some uncertainty, however, about
the Y2K readiness of companies in other parts of the world and how much effect
any lack of preparation will have on the global economy.

The GE LifeStyle Funds' adviser, GE Investment Management Incorporated ("GEIM"),
has incorporated "Year 2000 Y2K" readiness capability into its analysis
processes for the investment portfolios it manages. It has been engaged in a
multi-year effort to address its own Y2K date-related issues in a broad range of
areas including applications, process-enabling systems and facilities. GEIM also
benefits from the Y2K efforts of its parent,

General Electric Company, which systematically monitors the implementation of
the Y2K programs of all GE businesses and facilitates the sharing of best
practices. With respect to third-party systems, GEIM like many similar
companies, must rely largely on the efforts and affirmations of others; however,
it will continue to work closely with our most critical vendors, State Street
Bank and Trust Company, the funds' custodian and National Financial Data
Services, Inc., the funds' transfer agent. Although the interaction of various
software and hardware elements is highly complex -- and the possibility of Y2K
related problems cannot be totally eliminated -- GEIM believes it is taking the
appropriate steps.

Thank you for your continued investment in the GE LifeStyle Funds. We look
forward to helping you serve your financial needs in the future.

** THE COMPOSITE INDEX IS DERIVED BY APPLYING EACH UNDERLYING FUND'S
   TARGET ALLOCATIONS TO THE RESULTS OF THE CORRESPONDING BENCHMARKS FOR THE
   DOMESTIC EQUITY, INTERNATIONAL EQUITY, AND FIXED INCOME MARKETS.






The GE Conservative Strategy Fund currently targets 56% to fixed income
securities, 26% to domestic equities and 18% to international equities. As of
September 30, 1999, actual equity holdings were slightly under the targets.
Fixed income holdings were slightly over the target. The fund has a high
weighting in fixed-income securities because its long-term goal is preservation
of capital. With a 44% target equity allocation, the fund also offers some
opportunity for capital appreciation. We believe that this fund should show its
best relative performance in times of economic uncertainty.

The double-digit returns that fixed income securities enjoyed amidst 1998's
global economic turmoil turned into negative returns in 1999. The yield on
30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds, which fell from 6.04% to 4.79% between September
1997 and September 1998, returned to 6.05% by September 30, 1999. Strong
economic growth and the lowest unemployment rate in 35 years raised the specter
of inflation for investors. While there is little evidence that inflation is
actually rising, the U.S. Federal Reserve took the precaution of raising
short-term interest rates twice. There is concern the Federal Reserve will
tighten at least once more, restoring rates to the level that existed before the
collapse of the Russian markets in 1998. In this environment the underlying GE
Fixed Income Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark during the 12-month
period. Offsetting a longer average duration, which hurt performance, was a
favorable sector allocation and good security selection in corporate bonds.

Equities had strong gains during the reporting period. Combined, the portfolio's
four U.S. equity segments outperformed the S&P 500 Index over 12 months. The
underlying GE Premier Growth Equity Fund gained 38.54%, significantly outpacing
the S&P 500 Index because of its overweight position in technology stocks. The
underlying GE Value Equity Fund returned 27.34%, better than its benchmark, the
S&P 500/BARRA Value Index, because of good stock selection in the energy and
consumer sectors. The underlying GE U.S. Equity Fund gained 27.79%, closely
tracking the S&P 500 Index, because of good stock selection in the consumer
cyclical sector, outperforming both the sector and the market. An underweight
position in technology hurt the underlying GE Mid-Cap Growth Fund, which
returned 13.91%, underperforming the S&P 400 MidCap Index.

The portfolio's underlying GE International Equity Fund earned 25.48%, slightly
lagging its benchmark because of underweighting in stocks from Japan and an
overweighting in European stocks. The European economy has taken longer than
anticipated to recover but is expected to improve in 2000 because of benefits
arising from the introduction of the Euro, lower interest rates and recent moves
to deregulate the economy.

               PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

   TARGET ALLOCATIONS TO THE RESULTS OF THE CORRESPONDING BENCHMARKS FOR THE
   DOMESTIC EQUITY, INTERNATIONAL EQUITY, AND FIXED INCOME MARKETS.





The GE Moderate Strategy Fund currently targets 38% to domestic equities, 25% to
international equities and 37% to fixed income securities. As of September 30,
1999, actual equity holdings were slightly under the targets. Fixed income
holdings were on target. The fund's long-term goal is to preserve capital while
participating in the potential appreciation that equity investments offer. We
believe that this fund should provide good relative performance in both up and
down markets since the fixed income components offer protection in down markets
and the international equity component provides diversification and the
potential for superior long-term growth.

Equities had strong gains during the reporting period. Combined, the portfolio's
four U.S. equity segments outperformed the S&P 500 Index over 12 months. The
underlying GE Premier Growth Equity Fund gained 38.54%, significantly outpacing

cyclical sector, outperforming both the sector and the market. An underweight

returned 13.91%, underperforming the S&P 400 MidCap Index.

The portfolio's underlying GE International Equity Fund earned 25.48%, slightly

** THE COMPOSITE INDEX IS DERIVED BY APPLYING EACH UNDERLYING FUND'S
TARGET ALLOCATIONS TO THE RESULTS OF THE CORRESPONDING BENCHMARKS FOR THE
DOMESTIC EQUITY, INTERNATIONAL EQUITY, AND FIXED INCOME MARKETS.



The GE Aggressive Strategy Fund currently targets 49% to domestic equities, 32%
to international equities and 19% to fixed income securities. As of September
30, 1999, actual equity holdings were slightly under the targets while fixed
income holdings were on target. The fund has a high weighting in equities
because its long-term goal is appreciation of capital. We believe that this fund
should provide good relative performance in up markets. However, the fixed
income holdings provide some protection in times of economic uncertainty. When
stock markets around the world are doing well, this fund generally will
outperform the GE Moderate Strategy and Conservative Strategy Funds.

Equities had strong gains during the reporting period. Combined, the portfolio's
four U.S. equity segments outperformed the S&P 500 Index over twelve months. The
underlying GE Premier Growth Equity Fund gained 38.54%, significantly outpacing
the S&P 500 because of its overweight position in technology stocks. The
underlying GE Value Equity Fund returned 27.34%, better than its benchmark, the
S&P 500/BARRA Value Index, because of good stock selection in the energy and
consumer sectors. The underlying GE U.S. Equity Fund gained 27.79%, closely
tracking the S&P 500 Index, because of good stock selection in the consumer
cyclical sector, outperforming both the sector and the market. An underweight
position in technology hurt the underlying GE Mid-Cap Growth Fund, which
returned 13.91%, underperforming the S&P 400 MidCap Index.

The portfolio's underlying GE International Equity Fund earned 25.48%, slightly
lagging its benchmark because of underweighting in stocks from Japan and an
overweighting in European stocks. The European economy has taken longer than
anticipated to recover but is expected to improve in 2000 because of benefits
arising from the introduction of the Euro, lower interest rates and recent moves
to deregulate the economy.

The double-digit returns that fixed income securities enjoyed amidst 1998's
global economic turmoil turned into negative returns in 1999. The yield on
30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds, which fell from 6.04% to 4.79% between September
1997 and September 1998, returned to 6.05% by September 30, 1999. Strong

of inflation for investors. While there is little evidence that inflation is
actually rising, the U.S. Federal Reserve took the precaution of raising
short-term interest rates twice. There is concern the Federal Reserve will
tighten at least once more, restoring rates to the level that existed before the
collapse of the Russian markets in 1998. In this environment the underlying GE
Fixed Income Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark during the 12 month
period. Offsetting a longer average duration, which hurt performance, was a
favorable sector allocation and good security selection in corporate bonds.

               PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

NOTES TO PERFORMANCE (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information on the preceding performance pages relating to the funds' one year
total return and portfolio allocation are audited, all other information on the
performance pages is unaudited.

Total returns are historical and assume changes in share price, reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains, if any. Past performance is not indicative of
future results of the fund. Investment returns and net asset value on an
investment will fluctuate and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your
shares.

A number of the broad market index returns are not available for the funds'
commencement of investment operations through September 30, 1999. In instances
where the inception date was not at the beginning of the month, broad market
index returns are calculated from the month-end nearest to the funds' inception
dates.

The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or bear certain fees and expense
of both the funds and the underlying GE Funds. Without these provisions, the
performance returns would have been lower. These provisions may be renewed or
discontinued in the future.

The Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Composite Stock Price Index of stocks (S&P
500), Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index
(MSCI EAFE) and the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index
(LB Int. Gov't/Corp) are unmanaged indices and do not reflect the actual cost of
investing in the instruments that comprise each index. The S&P 500 Index is a
composite of the prices of 500 widely held stocks recognized by investors to be
representative of the U.S. stock market in general. The MSCI EAFE is a composite
of foreign securities traded in 20 developed markets representing Europe,
Australasia and the Far East. The LB Int. Gov't/Corp is comprised of the
Government bonds and Corporate bonds portion of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index (LB Aggregate). The LB Aggregate is a composite index of short-,
medium-, and long-term bond performance and is widely recognized as a barometer
of the bond market in general. The results shown for the foregoing indices
assume reinvestment of net dividends or interest.

Total returns for the Composite Index are derived by applying the fund's target
allocations to the results of the corresponding benchmarks for the domestic
equity market, the S&P 500; for the international equity market, the MSCI EAFE;
and for the fixed income bond market, the LB Int. Gov't/Corp.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

1.   ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDS

GE LifeStyle Funds ("LifeStyle Funds" or the "Trust") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end,
management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on June 21, 1996, and is authorized to issue an unlimited number
of shares. It is currently comprised of six investment funds (each a "Fund" and
collectively the "Funds"), three of which are included in a separate annual
report. Each Fund operates as a "fund-of-funds" in that it makes investments in
a select group of underlying GE Funds ("Underlying Funds") suited to the Fund's
particular investment objective. The objectives of the funds are as follows:

GE Conservative Strategy Fund's investment objective is income and long-term
growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investment in
a mix of equity-oriented funds and fixed income-oriented funds, with a bias
toward equity-oriented or fixed income-oriented funds to be determined by then
current market forces.

GE Moderate Strategy Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital
with a moderate level of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective
through investment in various equity-oriented funds and fixed income-oriented
funds, with the bias toward equity-oriented funds for enhanced growth potential.

GE Aggressive Strategy Fund's investment objective is capital appreciation. The
Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investment in a selection of
equity-oriented funds and fixed income-oriented funds, typically with a strong
bias under normal market conditions toward equity-oriented funds for substantial
growth potential.

The maximum sales load imposed on purchases of shares (as a percentage of
offering price) for the Funds is 5.75%. The maximum contingent deferred sales
load (as a percentage of redemption proceeds) is 1.00% and is imposed for shares
redeemed within one year of purchase that were subject to no front-end sales
load upon purchase by virtue of being part of a purchase of $1 million or more.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions at
the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Trust:

SECURITY VALUATION AND TRANSACTIONS
Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value
per share of each Underlying Fund as reported on each business day. Short-term
investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Capital gain
distribution from investments in the Underlying Funds are included in the
Statement of Operations in realized gain/loss on investments. Realized gains and
losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of specific identified cost
for both financial statement and federal tax purposes.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each of the Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. The Funds' custodian
takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase
agreements on behalf of the Funds. The Funds value the underlying collateral
daily on a mark-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued
interest, is at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price. In the event the
seller defaults and the value of the security declines, or if the seller enters
an insolvency proceedings, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be
delayed or limited.

INCOME TAXES
The Funds intend to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all
of their taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains to their
shareholders and, therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made.
Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Any
net capital and currency losses incurred after October 31, within each Fund's
tax

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


year, are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next tax year if the
Fund so elects to defer such losses. No such net capital and currency losses
incurred during the Funds' tax year.


DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Funds declare and pay dividends of investment income and net realized
capital gains annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the
Funds' capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution
(or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. These
reclassifications have no impact on net investment income, realized gains or
losses, or net asset value of the Funds. The calculation of net investment
income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.

INVESTMENT INCOME
Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

EXPENSES
The Funds pay a fee to GE Investment Management, Incorporated ("GEIM") for the
Funds' advisory and administration services. This fee includes any normal
operating expenses payable by the Funds, except for fees paid to the Trust's
independent Trustees and transfer agent. Until further notice, GEIM has agreed
to reimburse the Funds for Trustee and transfer agency costs.


3.   FEES AND COMPENSATION
     PAID TO AFFILIATES


ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION FEES
Compensation of GEIM for investment advisory and administrative services, is
paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. The advisory
and administration fees payable to GEIM for each Fund are calculated at the
annual rate of 0.20%.

TRUSTEES COMPENSATION
The Funds pay no compensation to their Trustees who are employees of GEIM.
Trustees who are not such officers or employees receive an annual fee of $2,000
and an additional fee of $500 for each Trustees' meeting attended in person.

OTHER
For the period ended September 30, 1999, the Trust was informed that GE
Investment Distributors, Inc., acting as underwriter, did not receive
commissions from the sale of shares.


4.   AGGREGATE UNREALIZED APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION

Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments for each
Fund at September 30, 1999, were as follows:


                                                     NET

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Shareholders and Trustees of GE LifeStyle Funds

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the funds constituting GE LifeStyle Funds (the "Trust") at September 30,
1999, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and
the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of investments owned at September 30, 1999
by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
