TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
[PHOTO]
During the past six months, investors in Stein Roe Advisor Young Investor Fund
enjoyed a continuation of the long-running period of good returns and stock
market strength. Technology and telecommunications companies benefited from the
continued growth of the Internet and provided much of the support for the
market's strength during the period. As you will see on the pages that follow,
the Fund continued to invest in both sectors.
Stein Roe Advisor Young Investor Fund earned a 40.13% return without a sales
charge during the six months ended March 31, 2000. This compared favorably to
the broad-based, unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which posted a return of
17.50% for the same period. Higher interest rates later in the period created a
challenging market environment, but your Fund's managers continued to do their
homework and invest in those companies that they felt had the best quality and
growth potential.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, new births are on the
rise after years of decline.* More young people could mean a greater youth
influence on the economic marketplace and thus, the stock market. It also means
more young investors. Getting young people involved in investing is a growing
trend of which we are proud to have been a part. While Young Investor offers you
long-term growth potential to help you reach your financial goals, it is also
designed to help you learn about investing along the way. Many of you have been
with the Fund for years and we look forward to serving your investment needs in
the future. We hope you are proud to be among a class that will set examples for
future generations of young investors.
On the pages that follow, Dave Brady and Erik Gustafson, the Fund's portfolio
managers, discuss their investment strategy for the past six months and their
economic outlook for the near future. We encourage you to carefully review this
report and visit us on the Internet at www.libertyfunds.com and
www.younginvestor.com for more information about the Fund. We thank you for your
continued confidence and we look forward to sharing many years of future
investment success with you and your family.
Sincerely,

Because market and economic conditions change frequently, there can be no
assurance that the trends described above or on the following pages will
continue or come to pass.
There are many companies working behind the scenes to make the Internet operate.
Besides investing in companies you see on the Internet, such as America Online
(1.4% of net assets), we invest in companies that may provide the transmission
services, make the networks that operate the services, and manufacture the
semiconductors and other hardware needed for operation.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' REPORT
[PHOTO] [PHOTO]
Mr. Gustafson and Mr. Brady, senior vice presidents of the Advisor, have been
portfolio managers of the Portfolio since 1997 and managed its predecessor since
February 1995 and March 1995, respectively.
Q: How did the Fund perform during the six-month period from September 30,
1999 to March 31, 2000?
A: Stein Roe Advisor Young Investor Fund posted strong performance, returning
40.13%, without a sales charge, for the six-month period. Economic
expansion continued to support the market for growth stocks of all size. As
always, we focused our attention on owning the companies we believed had
strong enough growth characteristics to help us attain strong performance.
Q: Did a particular market sector drive the Portfolio's performance?
A: Technology holdings posted the strongest returns during the period. Growth
of the Internet and other technology products and services continued to
make technology the fastest growing sector of the economy. The Portfolio
owned companies in many areas of the technology market and enjoyed
performance from companies that support the Internet such as Cisco Systems
and Network Appliance (4.8% and 3.2% of net assets, respectively),
semiconductor companies such as Atmel and KLA (2.9% and 1.8% of net assets,
respectively), and hardware manufacturer Apple Computer (2.8% of net
assets).
Q: So recent weakness in technology stocks did not prompt you to reduce your
overall position?
A: No, we used the recent weakness to add to our technology position. At the
end of the period, 53% of the Fund's assets were in the technology sector,
up from 35% at the start of the period. We seek

Due to market volatility after the close of the quarterly period, current
performance is significantly lower than shown.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investment returns and
principal value will fluctuate, resulting in a gain or loss on sale. Stein Roe
Advisor Young Investor Fund invests all of its investable assets in SR&F Growth
Investor Portfolio, which has the same investment objective and substantially
the same investment policies as the Fund. The Fund commenced operations on
2/14/97, but until 1/26/98, only offered the shares that are now designated as
Class K shares. Performance results reflect any voluntary waivers or
reimbursements of Fund expenses by the Advisor or its affiliates. Absent these
waivers or reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been
lower. The historical performance of both share classes, prior to inception, is
based on the performance of SR&F Growth Investor Portfolio, restated to reflect
sales charges, 12b-1 fees and other expenses applicable to that class as set
forth in the prospectus "Fee Table," without giving effect to any fee waivers
described therein and assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Past
performance is not indicative of future results.

those technology companies with growth potential and continue to find
exciting opportunities in this area. We bought Rational Software (1.1% of
net assets), a company that should benefit from increased business
transaction traffic on the Internet, and purchased Motorola (2.0% of net
assets) based on the success of their semiconductor and cellular products.
Q: What other sectors did you favor?
A: The telecommunications market is another area that has shown a lot of
growth and has been driving the stock market. We own several companies that
have benefited from this growth, including Nextlink Communications, a local
exchange carrier, and Level 3 Communications, a provider of high-speed
Internet and telephone transmission services (1.7% and 2.2% of net assets,
respectively).
Q: Tell us about some of the Portfolio's other new holdings.
A: We added several new names to the portfolio. We look not only to own
companies that are directly benefiting from the growth in a particular
industry, but those that support the industry's infrastructure as well. For
example, we bought companies such as Vodafone (1.9% of net assets), that
have benefited directly from the demand for more cellular phones and
services. We also bought Crown Castle International (1.8% of net assets), a
company which should benefit indirectly from the same trend. Crown Castle
owns and operates wireless communications and broadcast transmission
infrastructure such as towers and monopoles. An increase in cellular
service can mean an increase in antennas, and we believe this tower company
would benefit from that demand.

Growth Investor Portfolio. Because the Portfolio is actively managed, there can
be no guarantee that the Portfolio will continue to maintain this breakdown of
these holdings in the future.
An infrastructure refers to the underlying base or foundation for an
organization or system. For example, Crown Castle operates the towers that hold
the antennas that transmit cellular service.

Q: Did you sell any notable positions?
A: We constantly assess the Portfolio's holdings and if a company does not
meet our goals for growth potential, we sell it. We had been positive on
Mattel for a long time, but when its acquisition of the Learning Company, a
software company, did not turn out as planned and the market for toy
companies weakened, we sold the stock. We also sold Royal Caribbean Cruise
as near-term growth prospects slowed.
Q: What is your outlook for the market in coming months?
A: We look forward to more good times ahead in the form of a strong market for
growth stocks. The economy appears to be on track to maintain its record 4%
plus growth rate streak. Inflation seems under control and high oil prices
seem to have peaked. Positive movement on interest rates by the Federal
Reserve should be the ultimate catalyst for the market in the second half
of the year.
Technology should continue to be an area to watch as companies spend more
to lower costs and improve services. We believe the Internet and wireless
communications services and equipment will continue to expand their
markets. The financial services sector would be in a position to rebound if
interest rates remain firm or move lower. Companies that can grow their
sales and increase their earnings will continue to be the companies that we
want the Fund to own. We plan to continue to invest in a mix of
conservative, stable companies balanced by a mix of smaller-capitalization,
aggressive-growth names.
The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States. Created by
Congress in 1913, it is responsible for maintaining a sound banking system and a
healthy economy. The Federal Reserve acts as a bank for other banks and the U.S.
government. It also serves as a regulator of financial institutions. One of its
most important functions is maintaining short-term interest rates.

An investment in the Fund and smaller companies offers significant long-term
growth potential, but also involves certain risks, including possible
illiquidity and greater volatility than most larger, more established companies.
The Fund may be affected by stock market fluctuations that occur in response to
economic and business developments.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment
return will vary, so you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Total
return includes changes in share price and reinvestment of income and capital
gains distributions. Portfolio holdings are as of 3/31/00 and are subject to
change.
THE COMPANIES WE INVEST IN
At the turn of the last century, most people did not have telephones in their
homes. By the turn of this century, we use telephone and cellular phone services
to communicate in ways our ancestors never dreamed possible. From the time the
telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, the telecommunications
industry has experienced phenomenal growth through new product developments and
expanded service capabilities. Today, this industry continues to forge new
ground with the development of cellular phones and new ways of communicating
with cellular service. For example, there are now cellular phones that can
connect to anyplace in the world. Some people have cellular phones in their
watches, and access the Internet from their cellular handsets.
Companies in this industry are dedicated to perfecting new and better products
and expanding their marketplace. Companies that operate in industries with such
strong growth potential are companies we like to own in Young Investor Fund.
Level 3 Communications (2.2% of net assets), one of the portfolio's holdings, is
a company that has been experiencing rapid growth by providing products and
services in the telecommunications industry. This company hopes to help create a
new Internet generation that our young investors will grow up with. Its intent
is to use the Internet to provide businesses with a full range of communication
services, including local and long distance and data transmission. As of March
31, 2000, 20.2% of the portfolio's total net assets were invested in companies
that either make the products or provide the service that support the
telecommunications industry. For a complete list of the Fund's holdings, see
pages six and seven.

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Stein Roe Advisor Young Investor Fund (the "Fund") is a multi-class series of
Liberty-Stein Roe Advisor Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests
substantially all of its assets in SR&F Growth Investor Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), which seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing
primarily in common stocks and other equity-type securities that are believed to
have long-term appreciation potential. The Fund also has an educational
objective to teach investors, especially young people, about basic economic
principles and personal finance through a variety of educational materials
prepared and paid for by the Fund. The Fund currently offers two classes of
shares at net asset value: Class A and Class K. Class A shares are subject to a
maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 2.00% on redemptions made within
three years of purchase. The Fund commenced offering Class A shares on January
26, 1998.
The Portfolio is a series of SR&F Base Trust, a Massachusetts common law trust
organized under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated August 23, 1993. The
Portfolio commenced operations on February 3, 1997. On February 14, 1997, Stein
Roe Advisor Young Investor Fund contributed cash of $100. The Portfolio
allocates income, expenses, realized and unrealized gains and losses to each
investor on a daily basis, based on methods approved by the Internal Revenue
Service. At March 31, 2000, Stein Roe Advisor Young Investor Fund owned 11.2% of
the Portfolio.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund and the
Portfolio. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SECURITY VALUATIONS
Securities traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the last
reported sales price or, if there are no sales, at the latest bid quotation.
Each over-the-counter security for which the last sale price is available from
NASDAQ is valued at that price. All other over-the-counter securities for which
reliable quotations are available are valued at the latest bid quotation.
Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the
direction of the Board of Trustees.

<PAGE> 15
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND
INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. Interest income includes discount accretion on fixed income securities.
Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an
identified cost basis.
DETERMINATION OF CLASS NET ASSET
VALUES AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
All income, expenses (excluding Class A and Class K service fees, distribution
fees and transfer agent fees), realized and unrealized gains (losses) are
allocated to each class proportionately on a daily basis for purposes of
determining the net asset value of each class.
The per share data was calculated using average shares outstanding during the
period. In addition, Class A and Class K's net investment income per share data
reflects the service fee, distribution fee and transfer agent fee applicable to
each class. Class A and Class K ratios are calculated by adjusting the expense
and net investment income ratios by the service fee, distribution fee and
transfer agent fee applicable to Class A and Class K shares.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
No provision is made for federal income taxes since (a) the Fund elects to be
taxed as a "regulated investment company" and makes distributions to its
shareholders to be relieved of all federal income taxes under provisions of
current federal tax law; and (b) the Portfolio is treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes and all of its income is allocated to its owners
based on methods approved by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax law, which
allow the Fund to carry a realized capital loss forward up to eight years
following the year of the loss, and offset such losses against any future
realized gains. At September 30, 1999, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards
of $9, $5,529 and $383, which expire in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Fund declares and pays dividends of any net investment income and net
realized capital gains annually, which are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends are determined in accordance with income tax principles, which may
treat certain transactions differently from generally accepted accounting
principles. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings are reported in the
financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences in the
recognition or classification of income between the financial statements and tax
earnings are reclassified to paid-in capital.
NOTE 3. TRUSTEES' FEES AND
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
MANAGEMENT & ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
The Portfolio pays a monthly management fee and the Fund pays a monthly
administrative fee to Stein Roe & Farnham Incorporated (the "Advisor"), an
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Financial Companies, Inc.
("Liberty"), for its services as investment Advisor and Administrator.
The management fee for the Portfolio is computed at an annual rate of 0.60% of
the Portfolio's average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.55% of the next
$500 million, and 0.50% thereafter. The administrative fee for the Fund is
computed at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to
$500 million, 0.15% of the next $500 million, and 0.125% thereafter.
BOOKKEEPING FEE
The Advisor provides bookkeeping and pricing services for a monthly fee equal to
$25 annually plus 0.0025% annually of the Fund's average daily net assets over
$50 million.
EXPENSE LIMITS
The Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that its annual
expenses exceed 1.49% of average daily net assets for Class A shares and 1.50%
of average daily net assets for Class K shares through January 31, 2001, subject
to earlier termination by the Advisor on 30 days notice.
12b-1 SERVICE & DISTRIBUTION FEES
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Liberty Funds Distributor, Inc. (the
"Distributor"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty. The trustees of
the Trust have adopted a plan of distribution and service pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that,
as compensation for the personal service and/or maintenance of shareholder
accounts, the Distributor receives from the Fund a service fee at an annual rate
not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.
The Plan also provides that, as compensation for expenses related to the
promotion and distribution of Fund shares, the Distributor receives a
distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of average daily net
assets for Class A shares. The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a
portion of the Class A distribution fee so that it does not exceed 0.05%
annually. The Plan further provides that, as compensation for services and/or
distribution, the Distributor receives a fee at an annual rate not to exceed
0.25% of average daily net assets for Class K shares.
13
<PAGE> 16
TRANSFER AGENT FEE
Liberty Funds Services, Inc. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of Liberty,
provides shareholder services to the Fund. Transfer agent fees for Class A
shares are computed at an annual rate of 0.236% of average daily net assets.
Transfer agent fees for Class K shares are computed at an annual rate of 0.30%
of average daily net assets.
OTHER
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor. No
remuneration was paid to any other trustee or officer of the Trust who is
affiliated with the Advisor.
NOTE 4. SHORT-TERM DEBT
To facilitate portfolio liquidity, the Fund and the Portfolio maintain borrowing
arrangements under which they can borrow against portfolio securities. Neither
the Fund nor the Portfolio had borrowings during the six months ended March 31,
2000.
NOTE 5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
The Portfolio's aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds
from sales other than short-term obligations for the six months ended March 31,
2000, were $574,713 and $522,671, respectively.
NOTE 6. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At March 31, 2000, the Fund had one shareholder, Liberty Financial Companies,
Inc., which owned 33.8% of the Fund's shares outstanding.
