Warburg Pincus U.S. Core Fixed Income Fund
Portfolio Managers' Letter -- February 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                  April 20, 1999

Dear Shareholders:

   We are writing to report on the results of the Warburg Pincus U.S. Core Fixed
Income Fund (the "Fund") for the fiscal half-year ended February 28, 1999.

   At February 28, 1999, the net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund's Institutional
shares was $15.43, compared to an NAV of $15.72 on August 31, 1998. As a result,
the Institutional shares' total return was 2.4% (assuming the reinvestment of
dividends and distributions totaling $0.67 per share). By comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") returned 1.6% during the same
period.

   At February 28, 1999, the NAV of the Fund's Common shares was $15.42,
compared to an NAV of $15.68 at their inception of investment operations on
October 30, 1998. The Common shares' total return between October 30, 1998 and
February 28, 1999 thus was 1.2% (assuming the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions totaling $0.45 per share). By comparison, the Index was down 0.2%
during the same period.

   The Fund outperformed the Index benchmark during the fiscal half-year due to
our overweighting in "spread product" -- debt securities whose market valuation
is driven by the difference, known as the "spread," between their yields and
those of U.S. Treasury debt. This was in marked contrast to the previous six
months, when the same commitment to spread product resulted in relative
underperformance.

   We maintained our spread product positions through the earlier period because
we believed that they represented attractive fundamental value and would
eventually recover. Our patience was rewarded in the fourth quarter of 1998, as
yield spreads contracted and spread-based sectors, therefore, generated healthy
gains.

  o  Mortgage-backed securities. Our decisions to slightly underweight
     mortgage-backed securities early in the fourth quarter and then heavily
     overweight them later, after prices fell, proved especially effective.
  o  Municipal bonds. For some time, we have maintained exposure to municipal
     bonds, whose valuations relative to comparable Treasuries have been at
     historically low levels. Valuations of our municipal holdings finally
     recovered somewhat in late 1998 and early 1999.

Portfolio Managers' Letter -- February 28, 1999 (cont'd)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  o Corporate bonds. Two aspects of our approach to corporates enhanced the
    Fund's return. We overweighted credit duration, for example, which helped as
    investment-grade issues strengthened. Security selection was also a
    positive, as our positions in Fuji Finance, Ltd., Worldcom, Inc. and Chase
    Manhattan Bank Corp. all did especially well.
  o Below investment-grade. We added to our position in domestic high yield
    early in the fourth quarter, when global fixed income markets were at their
    most volatile. The sector rebounded toward year-end along with global
    financial markets more generally. Emerging market debt rebounded in October
    and November, helped by easier U.S. monetary policy and positive news from
    Brazil.
  o Non-US$ holdings. Toward the end of 1998, we purchased a put option on
    Japanese government bonds, based on our belief that deteriorating conditions
    in Japan would cause bond prices to fall. The Fund benefited accordingly, as
    yields on 10-year JGBs dramatically rose (and nearly tripled at one point).

Asset Management that we believe would be of interest to you, we will be sure to

Warburg Pincus High Yield Fund
Portfolio Managers' Letter -- February 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                  April 20, 1999

Dear Shareholders:

   We are writing to report on the results of the Warburg Pincus High Yield Fund
(the "Fund") for the fiscal half-year ended February 28, 1999.

   At February 28, 1999, the net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund's Institutional
shares was $15.74, compared to an NAV of $16.60 on August 31, 1998. As a result,
the Institutional shares' total return was down 0.8% (assuming the reinvestment
of dividends and distributions totaling $0.72 per share). By comparison, the
Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Index (the "Index") returned 3.5% during
the same period.

   At February 28, 1999, NAV of the Fund's Common shares was $15.81, compared to
an NAV of $16.62 on August 31, 1998. As a result, the Common shares' total
return was down 0.9% (assuming the reinvestment of dividends and distributions
totaling $0.66 per share). By comparison, the Index returned 3.5% during the
same period.

   Sector allocations were most responsible for the Fund's underperformance of
the Index:

  o Our substantial overweighting in telecommunications hurt returns, as it
    left the portfolio more highly exposed than the benchmark to
    deferred-interest instruments such as zero-coupon bonds. Zeros' returns
    generally were lower than those of traditional cash-pay instruments,
    reflecting investors' ongoing preference for higher-quality issues within
    the overall high yield universe.
  o We underweighted utilities, which performed well.
  o Our holdings in the transportation sector were mostly shipping companies,
    which were hurt by a combination of falling oil prices and declining Asian
    demand for oil.

   Bright spots included our overweights in cable/media and gaming, both of
which performed much better than the overall benchmark; and underweights in
finance and energy, which were among the worst-performing sectors in the entire
high yield market.

High yield bonds are lower-quality bonds that are also known as "junk" bonds.
Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities.
International investing entails special risk considerations, including currency
fluctuations, lower liquidity, economic and political risks and differences in
accounting methods.

Warburg Pincus Municipal Bond Fund
Portfolio Managers' Letter -- February 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                  April 20, 1999

Dear Shareholders:

   We are writing to report on the results of the Warburg Pincus Municipal Bond
Fund (the "Fund") for the fiscal half-year ended February 28, 1999.

   At February 28, 1999, the net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund's Institutional
shares was $14.92, compared to an NAV of $15.12 on August 31, 1998. As a result,
the Institutional shares' total return was 2.3% (assuming the reinvestment of
dividends and distributions totaling $0.48 per share). By comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index (the "Index") returned 2.6% during the same
period.

   At February 28, 1999, NAV of the Fund's Common shares was $14.92, compared to
an NAV of $15.14 at their inception of investment operations on October 30,
1998. The Common shares' total return between October 30, 1998 and February 28,
1999 thus was 1.2% (assuming the reinvestment of dividends and distributions
totaling $0.40 per share). By comparison, the Index returned 1.4% during the
same period.

   The Fund slightly underperformed the Index in the fiscal half-year due to its
modest exposure to taxable corporate bonds. Although corporates enjoyed a
healthy rebound after the broad fixed-income sell-off in the summer of 1998,
they did not do so to the same extent as the municipal market. The Fund's return
relative to the Index was affected accordingly.

   Within the broad municipal market, performance benefited from our ongoing
emphasis on higher-quality paper, which remained especially popular among muni
buyers. This was reflected by our substantial positions in non-callable
securities.

Warburg Pincus Strategic Global Fixed Income Fund
Portfolio Managers' Letter -- February 28, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                  April 20, 1999

Dear Shareholders:

   We are writing to report on the results of the Warburg Pincus Strategic
Global Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund") for the fiscal half-year ended February
28, 1999.

   At February 28, 1999, the net asset value ("NAV") of the Fund's Institutional
shares was $15.26, compared to an NAV of $15.10 on August 31, 1998. As a result,
the Institutional shares' total return was 4.5% (assuming the reinvestment of
dividends and distributions totaling $0.53 per share). By comparison, the
unhedged J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index ("GBI") returned 3.9% during
the same period.

   At February 28, 1999, the NAV of the Fund's Common shares was $15.25,
compared to an NAV of $16.10 at their inception of investment operations on
October 30, 1998. The Common shares' total return between October 30, 1998 and
February 28, 1999 thus was down 2.2% (assuming the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions totaling $0.52 per share). By comparison, the GBI was down 3.4%
during the same period.

   We attribute the Fund's outperformance of the GBI benchmark during the fiscal
half-year to our positioning of the portfolio in two areas:

   Spread product. Our allocations to "spread product" -- debt securities whose
market valuation is greatly driven by the difference, known as the "spread,"
between their yields and those of U.S. Treasury debt -- experienced strong gains
after hurting performance in the second and third quarters of 1998. This was
particularly true in U.S. and emerging market securities.

   We maintained our U.S. spread product positions through the earlier periods
because we believed that they represented attractive fundamental value and would
eventually recover. Our patience was rewarded in the final months of 1998 and
early 1999, as yield spreads contracted and prices in spread-based sectors,
therefore, rose. Emerging market debt also revived. Although our allocation to
emerging markets remained modest, the sector's strength was sufficient for it to
meaningfully add to the Fund's return.

   Japan. Our longstanding underweight in Japan relative to GBI paid off
especially well in December, as Japanese bond yields nearly tripled. We also
chose to remain essentially neutral in our yen currency holdings, which
prevented the Fund from losing ground relative to GBI when the yen strengthened.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   The Warburg Pincus Funds covered in this report are comprised of Warburg
Pincus U.S. Core Fixed Income Fund ("Core Fixed"), Warburg Pincus Strategic
Global Fixed Income Fund ("Global Fixed"), Warburg Pincus High Yield Fund ("High
Yield") and Warburg Pincus Municipal Bond Fund ("Municipal") (each, a "Fund" and
collectively, the "Funds"), which are registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as non-diversified, open-end
management investment companies. Each Fund is authorized to offer three classes
of shares: Common, Advisor and Institutional, although only Common shares and
Institutional shares of each Fund are currently offered. Common shares for each
Fund bear expenses paid pursuant to a shareholder servicing and distribution
plan at an annual rate of .25% of the average daily net asset value of the
Fund's outstanding Common shares.

   On October 23, 1998, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,
each Fund (other than European Equity) acquired all of the assets and
liabilities of a corresponding investment series of The RBB Fund, Inc.
(collectively, the "Acquired Funds"). The acquisitions were accomplished by a
tax-free exchange of the following shares of each Fund, in each case for the
same amount of shares of the corresponding class of the applicable Acquired
Fund. Shares were reissued to shareholders at the time of the reorganizations.

   Certain of the Funds are permitted to engage in the investment strategies
described in the Notes to Financial Statements. The Funds are not obligated to
pursue any of the following strategies and do not represent that these
techniques are available now or will be available at any time in the future.
Please refer to each Fund's prospectuses and statement of additional information
for a description of its investment strategies.

              A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of each Fund is
     determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock
     Exchange. Each Fund's securities for which market quotations are readily
     available are valued at market value, which is currently determined using
     the last reported sales price. If no sales are reported, as in the case of
     some securities traded over-the-counter, the securities are valued at the
     mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. All other securities
     and assets are valued as determined in good faith by the Fund's Board of
     Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are
     valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

              B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- Transactions denominated in
     foreign currencies are recorded in each Fund's records at the current
     prevailing exchange rates. Asset and liability accounts that are
     denominated in a foreign currency are adjusted daily to reflect current
     exchange rates. Transaction gains or losses resulting from

*The amount of each Fund's net assets includes the amount of unrealized
 appreciation/(depreciation) listed above.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- (cont'd)

     changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of
     the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current
     period. It is not practical to isolate that portion of both realized and
     unrealized gains and losses on investments in the statement of operations
     that result from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Each Fund
     reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of
     realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components
     are treated as ordinary income (loss) for Federal income tax purposes.

              C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security
     transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of investments
     sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both
     financial reporting and income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on
     the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain
     expenses are class specific expenses and vary by class. Expenses not
     directly attributable to a specific Fund or class are allocated based on
     relative net assets of each Fund and class, respectively.

              D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Each Fund
     calculates its dividends from net investment income. Net investment income
     includes interest accrued and dividends earned on the Fund's portfolio
     securites for the applicable period less applicable expenses. Each of the
     High Yield, Global Fixed and Core Fixed Funds will distribute substantially
     all of its net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders annually
     and will distribute net investment income at least quarterly. The Municipal
     Fund will distribute substantially all of its net realized capital gains,
     if any, annually and all net investment income monthly. The character of
     distributions made during the year for net investment income or net
     realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal
     income tax purposes due to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
     and tax differences in the character of income and expense recognition.
     These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for net
     operating losses, mortgage-backed securities, passive foreign investment
     companies, and forward foreign currency contracts.

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

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- (cont'd)

              E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for Federal taxes
     as it is each Fund's intention to qualify for and elect the tax treatment
     applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue
     Code of 1986, as amended and make the requisite distributions to its
     shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income and
     excise taxes.

              F) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in
     conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
     that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of
     the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

              G) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Money market instruments may be
     purchased from banks and non-bank dealers subject to the seller's agreement
     to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. Collateral for
     repurchase agreements may have longer maturities than the maximum
     permissible remaining maturity of portfolio investments. The seller will be
     required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject
     to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price. The agreements are
     conditional upon the collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve
     book-entry system or held in a separate account by each Fund's custodian or
     an authorized securities depository. None of the Funds had open repurchase
     agreements at February 28, 1999.

              H) FUTURES TRANSACTIONS -- A Fund invests in futures contracts for
     the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities
     that the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by
     changes in prevailing market interest rates or securities prices, or for
     other purposes. Certain Funds' may enter into futures contracts subject to
     certain limitations. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund is
     required to deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities of an initial
     margin. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations
     in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by the Fund
     each day (daily variations margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or
     losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the
     Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
     proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in
     the contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the
     possibility that there will be

     an imperfect price correlation between the futures contracts and the
     underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for
     futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an
     inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third,
     the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that a Fund could lose
     more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures
     transaction.

   As of February 28, 1999, Core Fixed held the following futures contracts:

              I) TBA PURCHASE COMMITMENTS -- The Funds may enter into "TBA" (to
     be announced) purchases commitments to purchase securities for a fixed
     price at a future date, typically not exceeding 45 days. TBA purchase
     commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk
     of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to
     settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in each
     Fund's other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at the
     current market value of the underlying securities, according to the
     procedures described under "Security Valuation" above.

              J) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of the securities are required at
     all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market
     value of domestic securities on loan including any accrued interest thereon
     and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on

     loan including any accrued interest thereon. However, in the event of
     default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
     and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
     None of the Funds had any securities on loan to brokers at February 28,
     1999.

              K) SHORT SALES -- When a Fund's investment adviser believes that a
     security is overvalued, it may sell the security short by borrowing the
     same security from a broker or other institution and selling the security.
     A Fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the
     borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date
     on which the Fund replaces such security. A Fund will realize a gain if
     there is a decline in price of the security between those dates, which
     decline exceeds the cost of borrowing the security and other transaction
     costs. There can be no assurance that a Fund will be able to close out a
     short position at any particular time or at an acceptable price. Although a
     Fund's gain is limited to the amount at which it sold a security short, its
     potential loss is limited only by the maximum attainable price of the
     security (which at least theoretically is unlimited) less the price at
     which the security was sold. Until a Fund replaces a borrowed security, it
     will maintain at all times cash, or liquid securities in an amount which,
     when added to any amount deposited with a broker as collateral will at
     least equal the current market value of the security sold short. Depending
     on arrangements made with brokers, a Fund may not receive any payments
     (including interest) on collateral deposited with them.

              L) OTHER -- Securities denominated in currencies other than the
     U.S. dollar are subject to changes in value due to fluctuations in exchange
     rates.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies -- (cont'd)

              Some countries in which the Funds invest require governmental
     approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds
     of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a
     deterioration in a country's balance of payments or for other reasons, a
     country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances
     abroad.

              The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are
     substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major
     securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and
     disposition of securities by each Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a
     significant proportion of the aggregate market value of equity securities
     listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets are held by a
     smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available
     for acquisition or disposition by a Fund.

              Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds")
     possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market
     fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt
     securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or
     substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may
     experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to
     service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected
     business goals and to obtain additional financing.

              In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be
     expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated
     debt securities and (to the extent a Fund invests in junk bonds) the Fund's
     net asset value.

Note 2. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

   Pursuant to Investment Advisory Agreements, Credit Suisse Asset Management
("CSAM") an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, serves as
investment adviser for each of the four Funds described herein.

Note 5. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

   The Funds will generally enter into forward foreign currency exchange
contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk and to enhance total
return. Each Fund may enter into these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of
a security that it has agreed to buy or sell for the period between the date the
trade was entered into and the date the security is delivered and paid for. Each
Fund may also use these contracts to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities
denominated in foreign currencies that it already owns. The Fund may enter into
these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a
fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross-hedge against either
transactions or portfolio positions.

   Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate, and are
marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is recorded by each Fund as
an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, each Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Note 6. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts -- (cont'd)

Each Fund's policy is to include this portion of realized and unrealized gains
and losses on investments that result from foreign currency changes with other
foreign currency gains and losses on the Statement of Operations.

   The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations
in the underlying prices of each Fund's portfolio securities, but it does
establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although
forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might
result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, a Fund could be
exposed to risks if the counterparty to the contract is unable to meet the terms
of the contract. During the six months ended February 28, 1999, the Global Fixed
and the Core Fixed entered into forward foreign currency contracts. Core Fixed
had no open forward foreign contracts at February 28, 1999.

   The Global Fixed had the following open Forward Foreign Currency Contracts at
February 28, 1999:
