Continued Strength in the Domestic Economy

Although the U.S. economy is in the ninth year of economic expansion, many
believe that valuation levels in some sectors of the stock market are just not
sustainable. The second half of 1999 was marked by the S&P 500 falling in the
first three months before rebounding nearly 15% in the last three months. While
equity investors have experienced a turbulent investment environment over the
last six months, concerns about rising interest rates, inflation and Y2K fears
in the opening months were stifled resulting in eventually every major market
index being driven higher during the fourth quarter of 1999.

The Federal Reserve Bank's "tightening bias" leads many to anticipate further
interest rate increases in order to stem even the slightest inflationary
pressure. Additional interest hikes would likely have a negative effect on stock
prices, which could restrain consumer spending; however, many investors are
waiting for just such a scenario to take place, so they can take advantage of
lower stock prices as a buying opportunity.

We believe that the economy is still fundamentally strong, and that inflation
will stay contained, producing only moderate upward pressure on interest rates.
We remain cautiously optimistic about the prospects for continued growth in the
markets.

1 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. The performance of each class may vary
based on differences in loads, fees and expenses paid by the shareholders
investing in each class. Index returns do not reflect expenses, which have been
deducted from the Fund's return.  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.  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 7/27/1997 (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. The advisor is waiving a portion of its
advisory fee. Had the fee not been waived, returns would have been lower.


Comparison of change in value of a $10,000 investment in Evergreen Select Equity
Index Fund Class I1, S&P 500 and the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index which does not include transaction costs
associated with buying and selling securities nor any mutual fund expenses. The
CPI is a commonly used measure of inflation and does not represent an investment
return. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Environment

U.S. equity investors experienced a roller-coaster ride over the past six
months, as the S&P 500 fell in the first three months before rebounding nearly
15% in the latter half of the period.  Equity investors were concerned by rising
interest rates, inflationary and Y2K fears in the opening months, but then
simply shrugged off these negative events and drove every major U.S. equity
index higher during the fourth quarter of 1999.

Underlying the entire six-month period was the market's insatiable appetite for
technology stocks.  This ultra-growth segment of the market proved to be the
best performer in 1999, and its dramatic rise is the primary reason growth
stocks have again outperformed their value-oriented (and technology-deficient)
counterparts.

Strategy

The Fund seeks investment results that achieve price and yield performance
similar to the S&P 500.  The Fund invests primarily in stocks represented in the
S&P 500. In addition, the portfolio manager utilizes quantitative techniques
that balance the risk/reward relationship in portfolio construction.

The Fund has significantly improved performance relative to other index funds
during the past few quarters, and was one of the top funds in its peer group
during 1999. We continue to use sampling techniques to replicate the return of
the S&P 500.  Cash flows are invested immediately and index additions and
deletions are completed in the most timely and cost effective way.  Improved
trading strategies and close risk-monitoring have contributed to the Fund's
Class I shares rank of 16 out of 107 funds in the competitive Lipper S&P 500
Index fund peer group classification*. Lipper Inc., is an independent monitor of
mutual fund performance.

Outlook

Looking ahead, we expect the stock market to continue to be shaped by
expectations surrounding the direction of interest rates, corporate earnings, as
well as trends in domestic and international economies.

Range-bound interest rates will likely affect corporate earnings which are the
main driver of stock prices in the coming quarters.  At present, low inflation
and economic growth worldwide continue to provide a positive backdrop for
stocks.  However, an upward move in interest rates, which has not been met by a
slowing of index gains, may warrant some caution in the near term.

Comparison of change in value of a $10,000 investment in Evergreen Select
Special Equity Fund Class I1, Russell 2000 and the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The Russell 2000 is an unmanaged index which does not include transaction costs
associated with buying and selling securities nor any mutual fund expenses. The
CPI is a commonly used measure of inflation and does not represent an investment
return. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Small capitalization stock investing may offer the potential for greater long
term results; however, it is also generally associated with greater price
volatility due to the higher risk of failure.


1 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. The performance of each class may vary
based on differences in loads, fees and expenses paid by the shareholders
investing in each class. Index returns do not reflect expenses, which have been
deducted from the Fund's return.

Historical performance shown for Classes A, B and C prior to their inception is
based on 1) Class IS from 7/27/1998 to their inception, 2) the performance of
the Class A Shares of the Fund's predecessor fund, CoreFund Special Equity Fund
from 2/21/1995 through 7/26/1998 and 3) the original class of shares of the
Fund's predecessor fund from 3/15/1994 to 2/20/1995. The performance has not
been adjusted to reflect the differences in the 12b-1 fees applicable to each
class. These fees are for Class A 0.25%, for Class B 1.00%, and for Class C
1.00%. If these fees had been reflected, returns for Classes B and C 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 predecessor,
CoreFund Special Equity Fund. Historical performance shown for Class IS prior to
its inception is based on the performance of the Class A Shares of the Fund's
predecessor, CoreFund Special Equity Fund, and reflects the same 0.25% 12b-1 fee
applicable to Class IS.

The Fund may purchase stocks in initial public offerings.  Stocks purchased in
IPOs have a tendency to fluctuate in value significantly shortly after the IPO
relative to the price at which they were purchased.  These fluctuations could
impact the net asset value and return earned on the Fund's shares.

The advisor is waiving a portion of its advisory fee. Had the fee not been
waived, returns would have been lower.

Performance

Evergreen Select Special Equity Fund Class I produced a total return of 22.75%
for the six-month period ended December 31, 1999, easily exceeding the 10.95%
return of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.  The Fund's Class I posted a
one-year return of 74.31% compared to a return of 21.26% for the Russell 2000
Index for the same period. The fourth quarter of 1999 was a particularly strong
performance period for the Fund, with its 23.12% total return providing a strong
finish to an excellent year.  Exposure to the technology sector and strong IPO
market contributed greatly to the Fund's performance. Class I shares do not
reflect any sales charges.

Environment

Small-cap investors were richly rewarded in the last six months of 1999 if they
were invested in the technology sector.  Returns realized in the small-cap
universe were particularly dependent upon an investor's exposure to the fast
growing internet and related technology industries, as traditional value-
oriented stocks lagged significantly.  Some of this disparity in performance is
reflected in the returns of the small-cap benchmarks during the last quarter of
1999.

Strategy

Our exposure to internet-related companies such as F5 Networks and wireless
communications companies such as Clearnet Communications helped propel the
Fund's return during the last six months of 1999.  Another spectacular position
for the Fund has been Metromedia Fiber Network, a provider of bandwidth fiber
optic communications equipment, which rose 96% in the fourth quarter alone.
While the Fund maintained positions in industries outside the technology sector,
the amazing returns generated by our technology positions drove our returns in
the second half of 1999.

As we entered the month of December, we began to see the emergence of profit-
taking by investors in some of our more successful areas of portfolio emphasis
such as the technology sector.  As the strong momentum began to wane, we
initiated steps to reduce those positions and neutralize some of our more
aggressive investment bets.  Our bottom-up security analysis led us to the
conclusion that our heavy weighting in extremely extended technology companies
should be reduced until a better risk-reward relationship presented itself.
While we remained very optimistic about the prospect of technology companies in
the months ahead, we observed greater relative attractiveness in other areas as
we ended the period.

We increased our weighting in financial companies and banks in response to the
new trends we observed at the end of 1999.  Although our previous underweighting
in this sector greatly benefited our results during the year, we felt that the
sector presented an excellent investment opportunity in the near-term.  Examples
of new names we added in this sector included Dain Rauscher Corp. (a West-coast
provider of individual and institutional investment services) and Southwest-
based Imperial Bancorp.

Outlook

We believe the prospect for small-cap growth stocks remains bright.  New
technologies and the availability of venture capital provide an exciting mix for
entrepreneurial activity.  New investment opportunities may abound in this
environment and the rewards for agile investors may be significant.  Our very
disciplined approach to stock selection and systematic approach to portfolio
construction should continue to help us participate in these investment
opportunities in the year ahead.

1. ORGANIZATION

The Evergreen Select Equity Funds consist of Evergreen Select Equity Index Fund
("Equity Index Fund") and Evergreen Select Special Equity Fund ("Special Equity
Fund"), each of which is a diversified series of Evergreen Select Equity Trust
(the "Trust"), a Delaware business trust organized on September 18, 1997. The
Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Invest-
ment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

The Funds offer Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional shares ("Class I"),
and Institutional Service shares ("Class IS"). 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 B shares purchased prior to January 1,
1997, follow the conversion rights at the time the shares were purchased. 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 ongoing service fee. Class I and Class IS
shares are sold only to certain institutional shareholders.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A. Valuation of Securities
Securities traded on a national securities exchange or included on the NASDAQ
National Market System ("NMS") are valued at the last reported sales price on
the exchange where primarily traded. Securities traded on an exchange or NMS
and other securities traded in the over-the-counter market for which there has
been no sale are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked
price. Securities for which valuations are not readily available from an inde-
pendent 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 at the time of purchase are carried at amortized cost, which approxi-
mates market value.

B. Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral
for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian on the Fund's behalf. Col-
lateral 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. Each 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. Each Fund will only enter
into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions, which
are deemed by the investment adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to guidelines
established by the Board of Trustees.

C. Futures Contracts
In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in security values, the
Funds 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.

                                       29
<PAGE>

        Combined Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)


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.

D. 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 or in the case of some foreign securities, on the date there-
after when the Fund is made aware of the dividend. Income and capital gains re-
alized on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are
accrued as applicable.

E. Federal Taxes
The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"). Thus, the Funds will
not incur any federal income tax liability since they are expected to distrib-
ute all of their net investment company taxable income and net capital gains,
if any, to their shareholders. The Funds also intend 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 each Fund's policy not
to distribute such gains.

F. Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, for the Funds 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.

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 each class.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND OTHER AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

First Capital Group, a division of First Union National Bank ("FUNB"), serves
as the investment advisor to the Equity Index 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.

Meridian Investment Company ("Meridian"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary
of First Union Corporation ("First Union"), serves as the investment advisor to
Special Equity Fund. In return for its services, Meridian is paid an annual fee
equal to 1.00% of average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to November 1,
1999 the Fund paid Meridian a fee at the annual rate of 1.50% of the Fund's av-
erage daily net assets.

Each investment adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the in-
vestment advisory fee on their respective Fund. For the six months ended Decem-
ber 31, 1999, the investment advisers voluntarily reduced their fees as fol-
lows:

Evergreen Investment Services ("EIS"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of
FUNB, is the administrator and The BISYS Group, Inc. ("BISYS") serves as sub-
administrator to the Funds. As administrator, EIS provides the

        Combined Notes to Financial Statements  (Unaudited) (continued)

Funds with facilities, equipment and personnel. As sub-administrator to the
Funds, BISYS provides the officers of the Funds. Officers of the Funds and af-
filiated Trustees receive no compensation directly from the Funds.

The administrator and sub-administrator for each Fund are entitled to an annual
fee based on the average daily net assets of the Funds for which First Union or
its investment advisory subsidiaries are also the investment advisors. The ad-
ministration fee for Equity Index Fund 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 asset value of the Fund. The sub-administra-
tion fee for the Equity Index Fund 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 asset value of the Fund. Effective November 1, 1999 the
Special Equity Fund pays the administrator and sub-administrator a combined fee
at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the six
months ended December 31, 1999, the Funds paid or accrued the following amounts
for administrative and sub-administrative services:

Evergreen Service Company ("ESC"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of
FUNB, serves as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds.

4. DISTRIBUTION PLANS

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

Each Fund has adopted Distribution Plans, as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, for each class of shares, except Class I. Distribution plans permit each
Fund to reimburse its principal underwriter for costs related to selling shares
of the Fund and for various other services. These costs, which consist primar-
ily of commissions and service fees to broker-dealers who sell shares of the
Fund, are paid by the Fund as Distribution Plan expenses. Under the Distribu-
tion Plans, Class A and Class IS incur distributions fees equal to 0.25% of the
average daily net asset of the class, all of which is used to pay for share-
holder service fees. Class B and Class C incur distribution fees equal to 1.00%
of the average daily net assets of each class. Of this amount, 0.25% of the
distribution fees incurred is used to pay for shareholder service fee, and
0.75% is used to pay for distribution-related costs. Distribution Plan expenses
are calculated daily and paid at least quarterly.

During the six months ended December 31, 1999, amounts paid or accrued to EDI
pursuant to each Fund's Class A, Class B, Class C and Class IS Distribution
Plans were as follows:

         Special Equity Fund.........   4,790   19,254  11,184   6,728
</TABLE>

With respect to Class B and Class C shares, the principal underwriter may pay
distribution fees greater than the allowable annual amounts each Fund is per-
mitted to pay under the Distribution Plans.

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.

5. ACQUISITIONS

Effective on the close of business July 24, 1998, Equity Index Fund and Special
Equity Fund (collectively, "Evergreen Funds") acquired all of the net assets
and certain liabilities of the CoreFund Equity Index Fund ("Core Index Fund")
and CoreFund Special Equity Fund ("Core Special Fund") (collectively,
"CoreFunds"), respectively, each an open-end, management investment company,
registered under 1940 Act, through tax-free exchanges of shares. Shareholders
of Class A, Class B and Class Y shares of the CoreFunds became owners of that
number of full and fractional shares of Class IS, Class IS and Class I shares,
respectively, of Equity Index Fund and Special Equity Fund, having an aggregate
net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset

value of their CoreFund shares immediately prior to the close of business on
July 24, 1998. As a result of these transactions, shareholders of Core Index
Fund, Class B received 43,220 shares of Equity Index Fund, Class IS and share-
holders of Core Special Fund, Class B received 22,353 shares of Special Equity
Fund, Class IS.

The Evergreen Funds had no operations prior to the acquisition. Since Evergreen
Funds and the CoreFunds were similar funds, and the CoreFunds contributed the
majority of the net assets and shareholders, their basis of accounting for as-
sets and liabilities and their operating results for prior periods are carried
forward as the accounting survivors. CoreFunds Class A and Class Y shares were
the predecessor share classes to the Evergreen Fund Class IS and Class I. The
amounts relating to these transactions are reflected in proceeds from shares
sold in both the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and footnote 6--Capital
Shares Transactions.

6. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

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

10. FINANCING AGREEMENT

Certain Evergreen Funds, State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street")
and Bank of New York ("BONY") entered into a renewed financing agreement dated
December 22, 1998. Under this agreement, the State Street and BONY provided an
unsecured credit facility in the aggregate amount of $150 million ($125 million
committed and $25 million uncommitted). The credit facility was allocated, un-
der the terms of the financing agreement, between the Banks. The credit facil-
ity was accessed by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only and was
subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. Borrowings under this facility
bore interest at 0.50% per annum above the Federal Funds rate. A commitment fee
of 0.065% per annum was incurred on the unused portion of the committed facili-
ty, which will be allocated to all funds. This agreement was terminated on July
27, 1999.

On July 27, 1999, all of the Evergreen Funds and a group of banks (the "Lend-
ers") entered into a credit agreement. Under this agreement, the Lenders pro-
vide an unsecured revolving credit commitment in the aggregate amount of $1.050
billion. The credit facility is allocated, under the terms of the financing
agreement, among the Lenders. The credit facility is accessed by the Funds for
temporary or emergency purposes to fund the redemption of their shares or a
general working capital as permitted by each Fund's borrowing restrictions.
Borrowings under this facility bear interest at 0.75% per annum above the Fed-
eral Funds rate (1.50% per annum above the Federal Funds rate during the period
from and including December 1, 1999 through and including January 31, 2000). A
commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is incurred on the average daily unused por-
tion of the revolving credit commitment. The commitment fee is allocated to all
Funds. For its assistance in arranging this financing agreement, First Union
Capital Markets Corp. was paid a one-time arrangement fee of $250,000. State
Street serves as paying agent for the Funds and as paying agent is entitled to
a fee of $20,000 per annum, which was allocated to all the Funds.

During the six months ended December 31, 1999, the Funds had no borrowings un-
der these agreements.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective February 1, 2000, the maximum deferred sales charge for Class C
shares is changed to 2.00%. Class C shares purchased on or after February 1,
2000 are subject to a 2.00% contingent deferred sales charge if such shares are
redeemed within one year after the month of purchase, and a 1.00% contingent
deferred sales charge if such shares are redeemed within two years after the
month of purchase. Class C shares purchased prior to February 1, 2000 follow
the contingent deferred sales charge schedule at the time the shares were ini-
tially purchased.
