Continued Strength in the Domestic Economy

After stock markets around the world, including the United States, declined
dramatically last summer and into the early fall, the Federal Reserve's actions
to lower interest rates in late 1998 helped restore investor confidence. The
U.S. stock market rallied strongly during the final quarter of 1998 and into the
first half of 1999.

Throughout the period, the strong performance of large capitalization growth
stocks continued. Investors who focused on this small group of stocks,
particularly technology stocks, fared well. After long periods of lagging
performance in many areas of the market, participation broadened during the
second quarter of 1999 to include both value stocks and small company stocks.
Currently, the stock market is responding positively to the combination of low
inflation, low interest rates and low unemployment. The economy appears strong
and investor confidence seems high. We remain cautiously optimistic about the
stock market.

Year 2000 Preparation/1/

At Evergreen, we continue to prepare ourselves to provide uninterrupted service
and communication with all our shareholders throughout the end of 1999 and right
through the date change into the year 2000 and beyond. As of the end of August,
when this report was finalized, we have completed the testing of internal
systems. In March, we successfully participated in industry-wide testing with
the Securities Industry Association. We are confident that our efforts will
enable our shareholders to receive the same Evergreen products and services we
deliver today.

As always, we encourage all shareholders to diversify their mutual fund
portfolios and we suggest you consult with your financial advisor for an
allocation strategy that helps you meet your investment goals and objectives.
Evergreen Funds offers a wide range of funds that includes multiple investment
styles to help you find one that is appropriate in your portfolio.

Thank you for your continued investment in Evergreen Funds.

Sincerely,

/s/ William M. Ennis

                            Select Equity Index Fund
                      Fund at a Glance as of June 30, 1999

                               PORTFOLIO PROFILE

                                   Philosophy

The Evergreen Select Equity Index Fund seeks investment results that achieve
price and yield performance similar to the S&P 500 Index.

                                     Process

The Fund invests only in stocks represented in the Standard and Poor's 500
Index. The Fund's cash position is invested in index futures to attempt to
minimize tracking error. Portfolio turnover is minimal and is the result of
index compositional changes.

                                    Benchmark

                                  S&P 500 Index

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may
be worth more or less than original cost. Index returns do not reflect expenses,
which have been deducted from the Fund's return. It is not possible to invest
directly in an index. Historical performance shown for Classes A, B, and C prior
to their inception is based on the performance of (1) the Fund's Class I Shares
from 7/27/1998 to the inception of Classes A, B, and C (2) the Class Y Shares of
the Fund's predecessor, CoreFund Equity Index Fund from 6/1/1991 through
7/27/1998 and (3) the Class Y Shares of the Fund's predecessor, Viking Index
Fund from 2/14/1985 through 5/31/1991. These historical returns for Classes A,
B, and C have not been adjusted to reflect the effect of each Class' 12b-1 fees.
These fees for Class A are 0.25%, for Class B are 1.00%, and for Class C are
1.00%. Neither Class Y nor Class I pays a 12b-1 fee. If these fees had been
reflected, returns would have been lower.
Historical performance shown for Class IS prior to its inception is based on the
performance of (1) the Class A Shares of the Fund's predecessor CoreFund Equity
Index Fund from 10/9/1996 to 7/27/1998(2) the Class Y Shares of the Fund's
predecessor CoreFund Equity Index Fund from 6/1/1991 to 10/8/1996 and (3) the
Class Y Shares of the Fund's predecessor Viking Index Fund from 2/14/1985
through 5/31/1991. Performance of Class Y for CoreFund Equity Index and Class Y
for Viking Index Fund has not been adjusted to reflect the effect of the 0.25%
12b-1 fee applicable to Class IS. Class Y pays no 12b-1 fee. If these fees had
been reflected, returns would have been lower.
Historical performance shown for Class I prior to its inception is based on the
performance of the Class Y Shares of the Fund's predecessors, CoreFund Equity
Index Fund from 6/1/1991 through 7/27/1998 and Viking Index Fund from 2/14/1985
through 5/31/1991.

Portfolio Management

[PHOTO OF ERIC M. TEAL APPEARS HERE]

Eric M. Teal has managed Evergreen Select Equity Index Fund since December 1998.
Mr. Teal, vice president and quantitative equity analyst, joined FUNB in
September 1993 and currently heads the Quantitative Analysis/Portfolio
Management Unit within FUNB. He also manages Evergreen Select Diversified Value
Fund and is responsible for risk analysis and quantitative management for other
Evergreen Select Equity Funds.

Performance

We are pleased to present the first annual report for the Evergreen Select
Equity Index Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Fund's Class I
shares returned 22.03% versus 22.76% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P
500). During the year relative results improved significantly by applying
tighter quantitative controls and reducing overall tracking error.

Investment Process

The Evergreen Select Equity Index Fund is managed to replicate the S&P 500. The
objective of the Fund is to capture the return of the benchmark with minimal
tracking error and turnover. Currently, the portfolio holds 99% of the stocks
within the S&P 500 to minimize dispersion between the Fund and the benchmark.
Our management style utilizes quantitative tools to minimize tracking error,
while free cash is invested in index futures to further minimize potential
shortfalls.

During the first six months of the fiscal year, the Fund's relative performance
fell slightly behind the benchmark due to lack of representation in certain S&P
500 stocks; however, increasing the number of holdings by approximately 10% has
reduced tracking error. The increased quantitative focus and lower tracking
error have significantly improved performance results. Year-to-date, according
to Lipper Analytical Services, the Fund ranks in the top third of the S&P 500
index funds.

Investment Highlights

Fund composition is directly affected by changes within the S&P 500. During the
past year, we have seen a significant increase in mergers and acquisition deals
among companies within the index. Consolidation in the energy sector, e.g.,
Exxon/Mobil and BP Amoco/Atlantic Richfield; the banking industry, e.g.,
Deutsche Bank/Bankers Trust and BankAmerica/Nationsbank; the communication
sector, e.g., Vodafone/Airtouch Communications; and the automotive industry,
e.g., Daimler/Chrysler, are a few areas that have created vacancies in the
index.

Some of the additions have included the internet company, America Online;
electronic retailer, Best Buy; and the brokerage firm, Paine Webber. The trend
in consolidation among large cap stocks should continue with many mergers
pending. This will allow other exciting companies that best reflect the economy
to be added to the S&P 500 and the Fund.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION

The Evergreen Select Equity Index Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the In-
vestment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified,
open-end management investment company. The Fund is a separate series of Ever-
green Select Equity Trust, a Delaware business trust organized on September 18,
1997.

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I ("Institutional Class"), and
Class IS ("Institutional Service Class") shares. Class A shares are sold with a
maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares and Class C shares are
sold without a front end sales charge, but pay a higher ongoing distribution
fee than Class A. Class B shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge that is payable upon redemption and decreases depending on how
long the shares have been held. Class B shares will automatically convert to
Class A shares after seven years. Class C shares are sold subject to contingent
deferred sales charge payable on the shares redeemed within one year after the
month of purchase. Class I and Class IS shares are sold without a front-end
sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Class IS shares pay an ongo-
ing distribution fee.

2. ACQUISITION

Effective at the close of business July 24, 1998, the Fund acquired all of the
net assets of CoreFund Equity Index Fund ("CoreFund"), an open-end management
investment company registered under the 1940 Act in a non-taxable exchange of
shares. Shareholders of Class A and Class Y shares of the CoreFund became own-
ers of that number of full and fractional shares of Class IS and Class I, re-
spectively, of the Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggre-
gate net asset value of their shares of the CoreFund immediately prior to the
close of business July 24, 1998. Shareholders of Class B shares from the
CoreFund received Class IS shares with an aggregate net asset value equal to
the aggregate net asset value of their shares of the CoreFund immediately prior
to the close of business July 24, 1998. The Fund had no operations prior to the
merger. Since both the Fund and the CoreFund were similar funds, and the
CoreFund contributed the majority of the net assets and shareholders, its basis
of accounting for assets and liabilities and its operating results for prior
periods are carried forward as the accounting survivor. In the merger of
CoreFund Class A and Class B to the Funds Class IS Shares, CoreFund Class A is
the accounting survivor and as such its operating results as presented in the
financial highlights are carried forward. Shareholders of CoreFund Class B
Shares received 43,220 Shares of Class IS as a result of the merger.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently fol-
lowed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies
are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported here-
in. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

A. Valuation of Securities
The Fund values securities traded on an established securities exchange or in-
cluded in the Nasdaq National Market System ("NMS") at the last reported sales
price on the exchange where primarily traded. The Fund values securities traded
on an exchange or NMS for which there has been no sale and other securities
traded in the over-the-counter market at the mean between the last reported bid
and asked price. Securities for which valuations are not available from an in-
dependent pricing service, including restricted securities, are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith according to procedures established by the
Board of Trustees. Short-term investments with remaining maturities of 60 days
or less are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

<PAGE>

                    Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

B. Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral
for repurchase agreements are held in a segregated account by the custodian on
the Fund's behalf. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is
held at the counterparty's custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of
the Fund and the counterparty. The Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral
daily and will require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event
the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of
the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The Fund will only enter
into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions, which
are deemed by the investment advisor to be creditworthy pursuant to guidelines
established by the Board of Trustees.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after
the trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed on the identified cost
basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion
of discounts (and amortization of premiums). Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

D. Futures Contracts
In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in security values, the
Fund may buy and sell futures contracts.

The initial margin deposited with a broker when entering into a futures trans-
action is subsequently adjusted by daily payments or receipts ("variation mar-
gin") as the value of the contract changes. Such changes are recorded as
unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recognized on closing
the contract.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include (i) the possibility of an il-
liquid market for the contract, (ii) the possibility that a change in the value
of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
instrument or index, and (iii) the credit risk that the other party will not
fulfill their obligations under the contract. Futures contracts also involve
elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the statement of
assets and liabilities.

E. Federal Taxes
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated in-
vestment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). Thus, the Fund will not incur any federal income tax liability since
it is expected to distribute all of its net investment company taxable income
and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. The Fund also intends to
avoid any excise tax liability by making the required distributions under the
Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes is required. To the extent
that realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is
the Fund's policy not to distribute such gains.

F. Distributions
Distributions from net investment income for the Fund are declared and paid
monthly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at
least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded at the close of
business on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gains distributions to shareholders are determined in accor-
dance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted ac-
counting principles. Certain distributions paid during previous years have been
reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

G. Class Allocations
Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses) and realized and
unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the rela-
tive net assets of each class. Currently, class specific expenses are limited
to expenses incurred under the Distribution Plans for Class A, Class B, Class C
and Class IS.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund has an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a $0.001
par value authorized. Shares of beneficial interest of the Fund are currently
divided into Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, and Class IS. Transactions in
shares of the Fund were as follows:

6. DISTRIBUTION PLANS

Evergreen Distributor, Inc. ("EDI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The BISYS
Group Inc. ("BISYS"), serves as principal underwriter to the Fund.

The Fund has adopted Distribution Plans for each class of shares, except Class
I, as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Distribution plans permit a fund
to reimburse its principal underwriter for costs related to selling shares of
the fund and for various other services. These costs, which consist primarily
of commissions and

                                       20
<PAGE>

                    Notes to Financial Statements(continued)

service fees to broker-dealers who sell shares of the fund, are paid by the
fund through "Distribution Plan expenses". Each class, except Class I, cur-
rently pays a service fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the
class. Class B and Class C also pay distribution fees equal to 0.75% of the av-
erage daily net assets of the class. Distribution Plan expenses are calculated
daily and paid at least quarterly.

With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the principal underwriter may pay
12b-1 fees greater than the allowable annual amounts the Fund is permitted to
pay. During the year ended June 30, 1999, amounts paid to EDI pursuant to the
Fund's Class A, Class B, Class C and Class IS Distribution Plans were $24,578,
$256,241, $3,111 and $68,867, respectively.

Each of the Distribution Plans may be terminated at any time by vote of the In-
dependent Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of
the respective class.

7. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND OTHER AFFILIATED
 TRANSACTIONS

First Union National Bank ("FUNB"), serves as the investment advisor to the
Fund and is paid an advisory fee that is computed daily and paid monthly at an
annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

FUNB has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fee
on the Fund. For the year ended June 30, 1999, FUNB voluntarily waived their
fees by $1,159,599.

Evergreen Investment Services ("EIS"), a subsidiary of First Union Corporation
("First Union"), serves as the administrator and BISYS serves as the sub-admin-
istrator to the Fund. As administrator, EIS provides the Fund with facilities,
equipment and personnel. As sub-administrator to the Fund, BISYS provides the
officers of the Fund. Officers of the Fund and affiliated Trustees receive no
compensation directly from the Fund.

The administrator and sub-administrator for the Fund are entitled to an annual
fee based on the average daily net assets of the funds administered by EIS for
which First Union or its investment advisory subsidiaries are also the invest-
ment advisers. The administration fee is calculated by applying percentage
rates, which start at 0.05% and decline to 0.01% per annum as net assets in-
crease, to the average daily net assets of the Fund. The sub-administration fee
is calculated by applying percentage rates, which start at 0.01% and decline to
0.004% per annum as net assets increase, to the average daily net assets of the
Fund. For the year ended June 30, 1999, EIS and BISYS were paid $86,062 and
$22,255, respectively, for providing their services.

Evergreen Service Company ("ESC"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of
First Union, serves as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.
The Fund has entered into an expense offset arrangement with ESC relating to
certain cash balances held at First Union for the benefit of the Evergreen
Funds.

8. EXPENSE OFFSET ARRANGEMENTS

The Fund has entered into expense offset arrangements with ESC and their custo-
dian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used
to reduce a portion of the Fund's related expenses. The assets deposited with
ESC and the custodian under these expense offset arrangements could have been
invested in income-producing assets. The amount of fee credits received by the
Fund was $20,140 and the impact on the Fund's expense ratio represented as a
percentage of its average daily net assets was less than 0.01%.

9. DEFERRED TRUSTEES' FEES

Each Independent Trustee of the Fund may defer any or all compensation related
to performance of their duties as Trustees. The Trustees' deferred balances are
allocated to deferral accounts, which are included in the accrued expenses for
the Fund. The investment performance of the deferral accounts is based on the
investment performance of certain Evergreen Funds. Any gains earned or losses
incurred in the deferral accounts are reported in the Fund's Trustees' fees and
expenses. Trustees will be paid either in one lump sum or in quarterly install-
ments for up to ten years at their election, not earlier than either the year
in which the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees or January
1, 2000.

10. FINANCING AGREEMENTS

Certain Evergreen Funds, State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street")
and a group of banks (collectively, the "Banks") entered into a financing
agreement dated December 22, 1997, as amended on November 20, 1998. Under this
agreement, the Banks provide an unsecured credit facility in the aggregate
amount of $400 million ($275 million committed and $125 million uncommitted).
The credit facility was allocated, under the terms of the financing agreement,
among the Banks. The credit facility was accessed by the Funds for temporary or
emergency purposes only and is subject to the Fund's borrowing restrictions.
Borrowings under this facility bore interest at 0.50% per annum above the Fed-
eral Funds rate. A commitment fee of 0.065% per annum was incurred on the un-
used portion of the committed facility, which will be allocated to all funds.
For its assistance in arranging this financing agreement, the Capital Markets
Group of First Union was paid a one-time arrangement fee of $27,500. State
Street serves as administrative agent for the Banks, and as administrative
agent is entitled to a fee of $20,000 per annum which is allocated to all of
the participating Funds.

This agreement was amended and renewed on December 22, 1998. The amended fi-
nancing agreement became effective in December 22, 1998 among all of the Ever-
green Funds, State Street and the Bank of New York ("BONY"). Under this agree-
ment, State Street and BONY provide an unsecured credit facility in the aggre-
gate amount of $150 million ($125 million committed and $25 million uncommit-
ted). The remaining terms and conditions of the agreement were unaffected.

During the year ended June 30, 1999, the Fund had no borrowings under these
agreements.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Evergreen Select Equity Index Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments of the Evergreen Select Equity Index Fund as of
June 30, 1999, and the related statements of operations and changes in net as-
sets for the year then ended and the financial highlights for the year or pe-
riod ended June 30, 1999. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to ex-
press an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audit. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended June
30, 1998 and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods ended
June 30, 1998 or prior were audited by other auditors whose report, dated Au-
gust 25, 1998, expressed an unqualified opinion.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial high-
lights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June
30, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also in-
cludes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presenta-
tion. We believe that our audit provides 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 Ever-
green Select Equity Index Fund as of June 30, 1999, the results of its opera-
tions, changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year or pe-
riod ended June 30, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting prin-
ciples.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)

YEAR 2000

Like other investment companies, the Fund could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by the Fund's investment advisors and the Fund's other
service providers are not able to perform their intended functions effectively
after 1999 because of the inability of computer software to distinguish the
year 2000 from the year 1900. The Fund's investment advisor is taking steps to
address this potential year 2000 problem with respect to the computer systems
that they use and to obtain satisfactory assurances that comparable steps are
being taken by the Fund's other major service providers. At this time, however,
there can be no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to avoid any ad-
verse impact on the Fund from this problem.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

On July 1, 1999, the Fund declared distributions from net investment income of
$0.031, $0.042 and $0.031 per share for Class A, Class I and Class IS, respec-
tively. The distribution is payable on July 2, 1999 to shareholders of record
on June 30, 1999. These distributions are not reflected in the accompanying fi-
nancial statements.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS OF DISTRIBUTIONS

Pursuant to section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund has designated
$19,444,492 as long-term capital gain distributions for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999. The per share capital distribution was $3.05 each for Class I,
Class IS, Class A and Class B.

For corporate shareholders, 78.96% of ordinary income dividends paid during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 qualified for the dividends received deduction.

Shareholders are advised to use information received on Form 1099 to determine
their taxable long-term capital gain distribution rather than the per share
amounts presented above.
