To Our Shareholders:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CGM Capital Development Fund declined -4.6% during the second quarter of 2000
compared to the Standard and Poor's 500 Index which lost -2.7%. For the first
six months of the year, CGM Capital Development Fund declined -0.8% and the S&P
500 lost -0.4%.

Are the six interest rate hikes voted by the Federal Reserve Board since June
1999 sufficient to cool off a red-hot economy? At its meeting on June 28, 2000,
the Fed decided no further rate increases were necessary in light of some
slowing in consumer spending, a decrease in housing starts and a decline in
consumer confidence. However, the economic data is anything but clear cut: new
orders for durable goods dropped sharply in April but rebounded in a big way in
May. The Fed has seven weeks to monitor economic data and then decide if
additional rate increases are needed to achieve the desired slowing without
toppling the economy into recession. In the meantime, the effort to cool the
economy is getting some help from rising energy costs, in particular gasoline
prices which can act somewhat like a rate hike or tax increase siphoning off
funds that could be spent elsewhere.

Aside from looming questions about the economy, the equity market seems to be
operating on a healthier footing now than in early March when speculative
excesses were so prevalent in technology issues. The NASDAQ Composite Index fell
-37% from March 10th to May 23rd of this year and despite some recovery, is
still down -23% from its high. The excitement over "new economy" companies has
dissipated in the shadow of a growing number of dot-com bankruptcies. Instead,
investor attention is reverting to "old economy" companies and also to real
estate investment trusts, which may indicate a broadening market.

Interest rates are not much changed since March 31st of this year with U.S.
Treasury Bills yielding about 5.65% and the Ten-year Treasury bond selling to
yield about 6.10% at June 30. The Ten-year Treasury bond will be closely watched
by investors to gauge the bond market's perception of economic strength as a
clue to future Fed policy. Though equity investors would presumably welcome a
modest economic slowdown, we believe most attention will be focused on
individual issues rather than on any large market moves.

CGM Capital Development Fund holds important positions in independent oil
producers and the steel and electronic component industries. The Fund's three
largest holdings are Micron Technology, Inc., Companhia Siderurgica National
Sponsored ADRs and EOG Resources, Inc.

I would also like to report on June 16, 2000 a French financial-services
company, Caisse des Depots Group, agreed to purchase Nvest Companies L.P. who
holds a passive limited partnership interest in Capital Growth Management. This
transaction will not affect the management of Capital Growth Management or the
CGM Funds.

The percentage figures for the Fund are based upon the beginning net asset
values of $21.43, $24.25, $24.93 and $27.23, respectively, and the June 30,
2000 net asset value of $25.99 per share assuming the reinvestment of income
dividends, capital gains and paid-in capital distributions during such
respective periods.

The S&P 500 Stock Index has also been adjusted for the reinvestment of income
dividends during these periods. Although the S&P 500 Index and the Fund are
not directly comparable, the Index is shown because it is widely used by
investors to measure unmanaged stock market performance. When viewing the
Fund's performance, one should keep in mind the Fund's investment objective
and policies, the characteristics and quality of its portfolio securities, and
the periods selected.

The performance data contained in this report represents past performance,
which is no guarantee of future results. The investment return on, and the
principal value of, an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that
investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost.

                          CGM CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2000
(unaudited)

1.  The Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of
Massachusetts pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The Fund is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. Along with five other funds in a separate
Trust, there are six CGM funds (CGM Funds). The Fund's objective is long-term
capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to attain its objective by investing in
the equity securities of a relatively small but diverse group of companies and
industries.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A.  SECURITY VALUATION -- Equity securities are valued on the basis of
    valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Board of
    Trustees, which provides the last reported sale price for securities
    listed on a national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ national market
    system or, if no sale was reported and in the case of over-the-counter
    securities not so listed, the last reported bid price.
    Short-term investments having a maturity of sixty days or less are stated
    at amortized cost, which
    approximates value.

B.  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security
    transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or
    sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date
    net of applicable taxes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
    Net gain or loss on securities sold is determined on the identified cost
    basis. Dividend income received by the Fund from its investment in REITs
    may be comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital.

C.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the
    requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
    investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders all of its
    taxable income and net realized capital gains, within the prescribed time
    period. Accordingly, no
    provision for federal income tax has been made.

D.  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends and distributions
    are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. The classification of
    income and capital gains distributions is determined in accordance with
    income tax regulations. Permanent book and tax differences relating to
    shareholder distributions may result in reclassifications to paid-in
    capital. Undistributed net investment income, accumulated net investment
    loss, or distributions in excess of net investment income may include
    temporary book and tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent
    period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is
    distributed in the following year.

E.  INVESTMENT RISK -- There are certain additional risks involved in
    investing in foreign securities that are not inherent in investments in
    domestic securities. These risks may involve adverse political and
    economic developments and the possible imposition of currency exchange
    blockages or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions. In addition,
    the securities of some foreign companies and securities markets are less
    liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S.
    companies and U.S. securities markets.

2.  PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES -- For the period ended June 30, 2000,
purchases and sales of securities other than United States government
obligations and short-term investments aggregated $1,073,626,463 and
$1,126,430,145, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United
States government obligations.

3.  A.  MANAGEMENT FEES -- During the period ended June 30, 2000, the Fund
        incurred management fees of $2,959,369 paid or payable to the Fund's
        investment adviser, Capital Growth Management Limited Partnership
        (CGM), certain officers and directors of which are also officers and
        trustees of the Fund. The management agreement provides for a fee at
        the annual rate of 1.00% on the first $500 million of the Fund's
        average daily net assets, 0.95% of the next $500 million and 0.80% of
        such assets in excess of $1 billion.

    B.  OTHER EXPENSES -- CGM performs certain administrative, accounting and
        other services for the Fund. The expenses of those services, which are
        paid to CGM by the Fund, include the following:
        (i) expenses for personnel performing bookkeeping, accounting, and
        financial reporting functions and clerical functions relating to the
        Fund; (ii) expenses for services required in connection with the
        preparation of registration statements and prospectuses, shareholder
        reports and notices, proxy solicitation material furnished to
        shareholders of the Fund or regulatory authorities and reports and
        questionnaires for SEC compliance; and (iii) registration, filing and
        other fees in connection with requirements of regulatory authorities.
        The Accounting and Administration expense of $30,000, for the period
        ended June 30, 2000, is shown separately in the financial statements.

    C.  TRUSTEES FEES AND EXPENSES -- The Fund does not pay any compensation
        directly to its officers or to any trustees who are directors,
        officers or employees of CGM, or any affiliate of CGM, (other than
        registered investment companies). Each other trustee is compensated by
        the six CGM Funds with an annual fee of $37,000 plus travel expenses
        for each meeting attended. Of this amount, each fund was responsible
        for $3,000 per trustee plus an annual variable fee calculated based on
        the proportion of each fund's average net assets relative to the
        aggregate average net assets of the CGM Funds, which for the six month
        period ended June 30, 2000 was $2,887 for the Fund.
