                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of UC Investment Trust:

In  planning  and  performing  our  audit  of  the  financial  statements  of UC
Investment  Fund for the year  ended May 31,  2000 we  considered  its  internal
control,  including controls over safeguarding securities, in order to determine
our  auditing  procedures  for the  purpose  of  expressing  our  opinion on the
financial  statements and to comply with the  requirements of Form N-SAR, not to
provide assurance on internal control.

The  management of UC  Investment  Trust is  responsible  for  establishing  and
maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this  responsibility,  estimates and
judgements  by  management  are  required to assess the  expected  benefits  and
related  costs of controls.  Generally,  controls  that are relevant to an audit
pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external
purposes  that are  fairly  presented  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.

Because of inherent  limitations in internal  control,  errors or irregularities
may  occur  and may not be  detected.  Also,  projection  of any  evaluation  of
internal  control  to future  periods  is subject to the risk that it may become
inadequate  because of changes in  conditions or that the  effectiveness  of the
design and operation may deteriorate.

Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters
in  internal   control  that  might  be  material   weaknesses  under  standards
established  by the  American  Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A
material  weakness  is a  condition  in which  the  design or  operation  of any
specific  internal  control  component does not reduce to a relatively low level
the risk that  errors or  irregularities  in amounts  that would be  material in
relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected
within a timely  period by employees in the normal  course of  performing  their
assigned  functions.  However,  we noted no matters involving  internal control,
including controls over safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of May 31, 2000.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Trustees of UC Investment  Trust and the Securities and Exchange  Commission and
is not  intended  to be and  should  not be  used by  anyone  other  than  these
specified parties.
