                          REPORT FROM THE FUND MANAGER
 
    The  GT Global  Dollar Fund's  investment objective  is to  maximize current
income while maintaining liquidity and conserving capital.
 
    The Fund's total return for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was 2.23% for
Class A shares and 1.85% for Class B shares. As of June 30, 1996, the Fund's SEC
seven-day yield was  4.38% for  Class A  shares and  3.63% for  Class B  shares.
Because  the Fund  invests only  in short-term  debt obligations  with remaining
maturities of 13 months or less, its performance generally reflects the level of
short-term interest rates.
 
    During the first half of 1996,  the interest rate environment experienced  a
trend  reversal, turning toward higher rates. On January 31, the Federal Reserve
lowered the Federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage points, to 5.25%. Since  then,
the  official interest  rate policy  has been  on hold.  However, spring quarter
economic reports reflect  increasing growth  momentum which,  combined with  the
collapse  of  efforts to  pass a  seven-year  balanced budget  plan, has  led to
progressively higher yields for bonds and notes.
 
    On this basis, our view for the coming six months calls for slightly  higher
interest  rates, but we see significant risk  that further stock and bond market
volatility may  weaken the  economy and  cause  the Fed  to hold  rates  steady.
Accordingly,  the Fund currently intends to invest in some longer instruments to
lock in  yields.  Meanwhile, we  plan  to keep  a  large portion  of  assets  in
instruments under 30 days due to the high liquidity requirements of the Fund.
 
    The   Fund's  strategy  remains  conservative.  We  continue  to  invest  in
commercial paper of  large issuers, rated  in the highest  categories by S&P  or
Moody's  or of equivalent quality, and  U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations. We
do not use derivatives in the management of the Fund.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GT Global Dollar Fund ("Fund") is a diversified series of GT Investment

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
(A) PORTFOLIO VALUATION
Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the policy of the Fund to meet the requirements for qualification as a
"regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("Code"). It is also the intention of the Fund to make distributions
sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code.
Therefore, no provision has been made for Federal taxes on income, capital
gains, and unrealized appreciation of securities held, or for excise tax on
income and capital gains.
 
(C) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
With respect to repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund, it is the Fund's
policy to always receive, as collateral, U.S. government securities or other
high quality debt securities of which the value, including accrued interest, is
at least equal to the amount to be repaid to the Fund under each agreement at
its maturity. LGT Asset Management, Inc. ("LGT") is responsible for determining
that the value of these underlying securities remains at least equal to the
resale price.
 
(D) OTHER
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date (date the order to buy or
sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends to
shareholders from net investment income are declared daily and paid or
reinvested monthly.
 
2. RELATED PARTIES
LGT serves as the investment manager and administrator of the Fund. The Fund
pays LGT investment management and administration fees at the annualized rate of
0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. These fees are computed daily and
paid monthly, and are subject to reduction in any year to the extent that the
Fund's expenses (exclusive of brokerage commissions, taxes, interest,
distribution-related expenses and extraordinary expenses) exceed the most
stringent limits prescribed by the laws or regulations of any state in which the
Fund's shares are sold.
 
GT Global, Inc., an affiliate of LGT, serves as the Fund's distributor. The Fund
offers Class A shares for purchase. Certain redemptions of Class A shares made
within one year of purchase are subject to contingent deferred sales charges
("CDSCs"), in accordance with the Fund's current prospectus. Class B shares of
the Fund are available only through an exchange of Class B shares of other GT
Global Mutual Funds. Certain redemptions of Class B shares made within six years
of purchase are also subject to CDSCs, in accordance with the Fund's current
prospectus. For the period ended June 30, 1996, GT Global collected CDSCs in the
amount of $503,713. In addition, GT Global may, from time to time, make ongoing
payments to brokerage firms, financial institutions (including banks) and others
that facilitate the administration and servicing of shareholder accounts.
 
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Company's Board of Directors has
adopted separate distribution plans with respect to the Fund's Class A shares
("Class A Plan") and Class B shares ("Class B Plan"), pursuant to which the Fund
pays GT Global for a portion of its shareholder servicing and distribution
expenses. Under the Class A Plan, the Fund may pay GT Global a service fee at
the annualized rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's
Class A shares for GT Global's expenditures incurred in servicing and
maintaining shareholder accounts, and may pay GT Global a distribution fee at
the annualized rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's
Class A shares less any amounts paid by the Fund as the aforementioned service
fee for GT Global's expenditures incurred in providing services as distributor.
GT Global does not currently intend to seek payment of any amounts under the
Class A Plan. All expenses for which GT Global is paid under the Class A Plan
will have been incurred within one year of such payment.
 
Pursuant to the Fund's Class B Plan, the Fund may pay GT Global a service fee at
the annualized rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's
Class B shares for GT Global's expenditures incurred in servicing and
maintaining shareholder accounts, and may pay GT Global a distribution fee at
the annualized rate of up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's
Class B shares for GT Global's expenditures incurred in providing services as
distributor. GT Global does not currently intend to seek payment of any amounts
in excess of 0.75% of average daily net assets under the Class B Plan. Expenses
incurred under the Class B Plan in excess of 1.00% annually may be carried
forward for payment in subsequent years as long as that Plan continues in
effect.

                             GT GLOBAL DOLLAR FUND
 
LGT and GT Global have voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's expenses
(exclusive of brokerage commissions, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses)
to the annual rate of 1.00%, 1.75%, and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of
the Fund's Class A, Class B, and Advisor Class shares, respectively. If
necessary, this limitation will be effected by waivers by LGT of its investment
management and administration fees, waivers by GT Global of payments under the
Class A Plan and/or Class B Plan and/or reimbursements by LGT or GT Global of
portions of the Fund's other operating expenses.
 
GT Global Investor Services, Inc. ("GT Services"), an affiliate of LGT and GT
Global, is the transfer agent for the Fund. For performing shareholder
servicing, reporting, and general transfer agent services, GT Services receives
an annual maintenance fee of $17.50 per account, a new account fee of $4.00 per
account, a per transaction fee of $1.75 for all transactions other than
exchanges and a per exchange fee of $2.25. The Transfer Agent also is reimbursed
by the Fund for its out-of-pocket expenses for such items as postage, forms,
telephone charges, stationery and office supplies.
 
The Company pays each of its Directors who is not an employee, officer or
director of LGT, GT Global or GT Services $1,000 per year plus $300 for each
meeting of the board or any committee thereof attended by the Director.
 
LGT is the pricing and accounting agent for the Fund. The monthly fee for these
services to LGT is a percentage, not to exceed 0.03% annually, of the Fund's
average daily net assets. The annual fee rate is derived by applying 0.03% to
the first $5 billion of assets of all registered mutual funds advised by LGT and
0.02% to the assets in excess of $5 billion and allocating the result according
to the Fund's average daily net assets.
