Semi-Annual Report
June 30, 1995
<PAGE>
State Bond Diversified Fund
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS:
As of June 30, 1995, the State Bond Diversified Fund (the "Fund") had total net
assets of $41.5 million and a net asset value per share of $9.54, which compares
to $8.44 at the beginning of the period. During this semi-annual period, the
Fund paid a quarterly dividend of 5 cents per share in both March and June.
Investment decisions to sell selected securities from the Fund's portfolio
resulted in a net realized gain of approximately 38 cents per share for the
first half of the year.
The portfolio of investments, as shown in the "Schedule of Investments" of this
report, shows that the Fund has investments in 52 companies representing 23
different industries. Equities represented 89.4% and short-term securities
accounted for 10.6% of the Fund's portfolio. The emphasis of these equity
investments is in the telecommunication, energy, and chemical industries.
In February of this semi-annual reporting period, the Federal Reserve raised the
Fed Funds rate for the seventh time within a twelve-month period, to the 6%
level. Even as this restrictive monetary action was happening, the economy was
giving indications of slowing, as home sales, retail sales, and other economic
data suggested weakness. Long-term interest rates, as measured by the benchmark
30 year Treasury Bond yield, which had already begun to decline, were down over
1% from year-end levels. Declining interest rates proved beneficial to both
stocks and bonds as both markets rallied strongly. The Fund, on a total return
basis which includes the reinvestment of dividends and net realized gain
distributions, showed a strong return of 14.3% for this six-month period.
We appreciate your investment in the Fund and look forward to continuing to help
you meet your investment goals. Should you desire additional information, we
would welcome your inquiries.
Sincerely,
/s/ Keith O. Martens

INVESTMENT RECORD
The chart below illustrates the annual changes in the value of an assumed
investment of $10,000 for the period from June 25, 1964, to June 30, 1995. This
period was one of fluctuating common stock prices. The results shown should not
be considered as a representation of the distributions from net investment
income or net realized gain which may be realized from an investment made in the
Fund today.

</TABLE>
The chart above and the table on the next page assume the applicability of the
current maximum sales charge of 4.75% throughout the life of the Fund, although
the maximum sales charge was higher prior to March 1, 1990. Future performance
of the Fund will be affected by the establishment of a Rule 12b-1 plan,
effective May 1, 1990, under which Fund assets may be used to pay distribution
costs. Initial net asset value is the amount received by the Fund after
deducting from the cost of investment the 4.75% sales charge described in the
prospectus. There is no sales charge on distributions taken in shares. No
adjustment has been made for any income taxes payable by shareholders on
distributions received in shares.
THE AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR THE ONE, FIVE, AND TEN YEAR PERIODS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1995, WAS 11.45%, 9.20%, AND 12.25%, RESPECTIVELY. The performance data
quoted represents only past performances. The investment return and principal
value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
Securities listed on national securities exchanges are valued at closing market
quotations at the end of each day. Unlisted securities are valued at the mean
between bid and asked prices as quoted in the over-the-counter market. Short-
term securities are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates
market value. Security transactions are accounted for on the date the order to
buy or sell is executed, and dividends declared but not received are accrued on
the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from security transactions are
determined on the basis of specific identification.

The Fund complied with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
