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

CGM Fixed Income Fund returned 3.6% during the second quarter of 1999 compared
to the Merrill Lynch Master Bond Index which declined -0.9%. For the first six
months of the year, CGM Fixed Income Fund returned 5.9% and the Merrill Lynch
Master Bond Index declined -1.5%.

The economy is strong--perhaps, too strong. During the first quarter of 1999,
the Gross Domestic Product grew at a rate of 4.3%, exceeding the 3% rate deemed
by the Federal Reserve Board to be sustainable without risking the build-up of
inflationary forces. Consequently, policymakers increased the Federal Funds rate
by one quarter of one percent on June 30th. We believe much of the economy's
current strength is attributable to technology investments by businesses seeking
to increase productivity, reduce costs or prepare for the millennium. Consumer
spending, which is also brisk, has outpaced increases in personal income and is
thought to be largely fueled by the rising stock market. This phenomenon is
risky as it cannot persist for any length of time. Two years ago, the picture
was remarkably similar. However, then the Japanese and Asian economies were on
the threshold of a slowdown which subsequently relieved export and interest rate
pressures on the US economy. The outlook now is changed with Japan and much of
Asia rebounding and possibly even contributing to our economic growth.

In 1998, the stock market grew despite a small decline in overall corporate
profits. The General Motors strike, tobacco settlement and general cost
pressures took their toll on profits for many companies. So far this year,
profitability has been on the rise without last year's inhibiting factors.
Market performance may well become a contest between higher profits on one hand
and price-to- earnings ratios lowered by the threat of higher interest rates on
the other. Long term government bond rates have risen to 6.0% from 5.6% three
months ago. We believe today's level reflects the current strength of the
economy. We also acknowledge that future rate hikes could negatively affect the
market, complicating the job of finding attractive securities. For the moment,
however, the market has broadened to include a host of previously ignored
companies which are well run and prospering, and provide more opportunities in
individual stock picking and bond selection.

During the second quarter, bond market activity was dominated by fears of Fed
tightening to rein in a perceived rise in inflation later this year and heavy
corporate bond issuance, which combined to produce one of the worst performance
records in history.

CGM Fixed Income Fund, however, outperformed the bond market during the quarter.
Fund performance was boosted by sharp recoveries in the two real estate
investment trust (REIT) convertible debt holdings, strong performance from
high-yield issues and the solid anchor provided by preferred stock holdings. CGM
Fixed Income Fund holds important positions in REITs, and in the finance and
media industries. The Fund's three largest holdings are APP International
Finance Co. (Asia Pulp & Paper), Pacific Gulf Properties, Inc. and Innova Sa De
Real.

The Fund's average annual total return from inception (March 17, 1992) through
June 30, 1999 is +9.2%. The adviser has agreed to limit the Fund's total
operating expenses to 0.85% of its average net assets annually through December
31, 1999. Otherwise the total return since inception, and for the five-year,
one- year and three-month periods ended June 30, 1999, would have been lower.

The performance data contained in the report represent past performance, which
is no guarantee of future results. The investment return 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.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 1999
(unaudited)

1.  The Fund is a diversified series of CGM Trust which is organized as a
Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts pursuant to an
Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company.
The Trust has four other funds whose financial statements are not presented
herein. The Fund commenced operations on March 17, 1992. The investment
objective of the Fund is to maximize total return by investing in debt
securities and preferred stock that provide current income, capital
appreciation or a combination of both income and appreciation.

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 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 -- Corporate debt securities are generally valued on the
    basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service authorized by the Board
    of Trustees, which determines valuations for normal, institutional-size
    trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for
    comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are
    generally recognized by institutional traders. United States government debt
    securities are valued at the current closing bid, as last reported by a
    pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. 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. Other assets and securities which
    are not readily marketable will be valued in good faith at fair value using
    methods determined by the Board of Trustees.

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. Interest
    income is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the
    accretion of discount. Premium is amortized against interest income with a
    corresponding decrease in the cost 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 consist of ordinary income,
    capital gains and return of capital. The portion derived from capital gains
    and return of capital will result in a reduction of the Fund's dividend
    income and an increase in realized and unrealized gain on investments.

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. At December
    31, 1998 there were capital loss carryovers available to offset future
    realized gains of $1,677,676 expiring in the year 2005.

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.

2.  PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES -- For the period ended June 30, 1999,
purchases and sales of securities other than United States government
obligations and short-term investments aggregated $6,845,793 and $10,959,091,
respectively. Purchases and sales of United States government obligations
aggregated $1,942,898 and $3,001,641, respectively.

3.  A.  MANAGEMENT FEES -- During the period ended June 30, 1999, the Fund
        incurred management fees of $106,980 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 0.65% on the first $200 million of the Fund's
        average daily net assets, 0.55% of the next $300 million and 0.40% of
        such assets in excess of $500 million. For the period ended June 30,
        1999, CGM waived a portion of its fee. See Note 4.

    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. For the period ended June
        30, 1999 these expenses amounted to $4,000 and are shown separately in
        the financial statements as Accounting and Administration.

    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 CGM Funds
        with an annual fee of $37,000 plus travel expenses for each meeting
        attended. Of this amount, the Fund is responsible for $3,000 plus an
        annual variable fee calculated based on the proportion of the Fund's
        average net assets to the aggregate average net assets of the CGM Funds,
        which for the year of 1999 is $297.

4.  EXPENSE LIMITATION -- Until December 31, 1999, and, thereafter, until
further notice to the Fund, CGM has voluntarily agreed to reduce its
management fee and, if necessary, to assume expenses of the Fund in order to
limit the Fund's expenses to an annual rate of 0.85% of average daily net
assets. As a result of the Fund's expenses exceeding the voluntary expense
limitation, for the period ended June 30, 1999, CGM waived $93,613 of its
management fee. The Fund incurred operating expenses of $139,897, representing
0.85% of the average daily net assets.

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

CGM Mutual Fund returned 6.6% during the second quarter of 1999 compared to the
unmanaged Standard and Poor's 500 Index which increased 7.1% and the Merrill
Lynch Master Bond Index which declined -0.9%. For the first six months of the
year, CGM Mutual Fund returned 11.7%, the unmanaged S&P 500 Index increased
12.4% and the Merrill Lynch Master Bond Index declined -1.5%.

The economy is strong--perhaps, too strong. During the first quarter of 1999,
the Gross Domestic Product grew at a rate of 4.3%, exceeding the 3% rate deemed
by the Federal Reserve Board to be sustainable without risking the build-up of
inflationary forces. Consequently, policymakers increased the Federal Funds rate
by one quarter of one percent on June 30th. We believe much of the economy's
current strength is attributable to technology investments by businesses seeking
to increase productivity, reduce costs or prepare for the millennium. Consumer
spending, which is also brisk, has outpaced increases in personal income and is
thought to be largely fueled by the rising stock market. This phenomenon is
risky as it cannot persist for any length of time. Two years ago, the picture
was remarkably similar. However, then the Japanese and Asian economies were on
the threshold of a slowdown which subsequently relieved export and interest rate
pressures on the US economy. The outlook now is changed with Japan and much of
Asia rebounding and possibly even contributing to our economic growth.

In 1998, the stock market grew despite a small decline in overall corporate
profits. The General Motors strike, tobacco settlement and general cost
pressures took their toll on profits for many companies. So far this year,
profitability has been on the rise without last year's inhibiting factors.
Market performance may well become a contest between higher profits on one hand
and price-to-earnings ratios lowered by the threat of higher interest rates on
the other. Long term government bond rates have risen to 6.0% from 5.6% three
months ago. We believe today's level reflects the current strength of the
economy. We also acknowledge that future rate hikes could negatively affect the
market, complicating the job of finding attractive securities. For the moment,
however, the market has broadened to include a host of previously ignored
companies which are well run and prospering, and provide more opportunities in
individual stock picking and bond selection.

Nearly one quarter of CGM Mutual Fund's assets is invested in US treasury bills
and corporate bonds. The equity section of the portfolio holds important
positions in real estate investment trusts, electronic components and the retail
industry. The three largest equity holdings are Boston Properties, Inc., Pohang
Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and Apartment Investment and Management Company.

The percentage figures for the Fund are based upon the beginning net asset
values of $22.05, $26.60, $26.66 and $27.64, respectively, and the June 30,
1999 asset value of $29.25 per share assuming the reinvestment of income
dividends, capital gains and paid-in capital distributions during such
respective periods.

The performance data contained in this report represent 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.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 1999
(unaudited)

1.  The Fund is a diversified series of CGM Trust which is organized as a
Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts pursuant to an
Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company.
The Trust has four other Funds whose financial statements are not presented
herein. The Fund's objective is reasonable long-term capital appreciation with
a prudent approach to protection of capital from undue risks.
Current income is a consideration in the selection of the Fund's portfolio
securities, but it is not a controlling factor.

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 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. Corporate debt securities are
    valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized
    by the Board of Trustees, which determines valuations for normal,
    institutional-size trading units of such securities using market
    information, transactions for comparable securities and various
    relationships between securities which are generally recognized by
    institutional traders. United States government debt securities are valued
    at the current closing bid, as last reported by a pricing service approved
    by the Board of Trustees. 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.
    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. The portion
    derived from capital gains and return of capital will result in a
    reduction of the Fund's dividend income and an increase in realized and
    unrealized gain on investments.

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, 1999,
purchases and sales of securities other than United States government
obligations and short-term investments aggregated $1,074,006,988 and
$1,198,770,350, respectively. Purchases and sales of United States government
obligations aggregated $28,719,864 and $9,927,661, respectively.

3.  A.  MANAGEMENT FEES -- During the period ended June 30, 1999, the Fund

        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

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

CGM American Tax Free Fund declined -2.8% during the second quarter of 1999
compared to the Lehman Municipal Bond Index which declined -1.8%. For the first
six months of the year, CGM American Tax Free Fund returned -2.1%, and the
Lehman Municipal Bond Index, -0.9%.

The economy is strong--perhaps, too strong. During the first quarter of 1999,
the Gross Domestic Product grew at a rate of 4.3%, exceeding the 3% rate deemed
by the Federal Reserve Board to be sustainable without risking the build-up of
inflationary forces. Consequently, policymakers increased the Federal Funds rate
by one quarter of one percent on June 30th. We believe much of the economy's
current strength is attributable to technology investments by businesses seeking
to increase productivity, reduce costs or prepare for the millennium. Consumer
spending, which is also brisk, has outpaced increases in personal income and is
thought to be largely fueled by the rising stock market. This phenomenon is
risky as it cannot persist for any length of time. Two years ago, the picture
was remarkably similar. However, then the Japanese and Asian economies were on
the threshold of a slowdown which subsequently relieved export and interest rate
pressures on the US economy. The outlook now is changed with Japan and much of
Asia rebounding and possibly even contributing to our economic growth.

During the second quarter, bond market activity was dominated by fears of Fed
tightening to rein in a perceived rise in inflation later this year and heavy
corporate bond issuance, which combined to produce one of the worst performance
records in history. Investor apathy in a deteriorating interest rate environment
left the municipal bond market weak.

The CGM American Tax Free Fund portfolio is structured with a longer maturity
bias on account of the current under-valuation of the tax-exempt market. While
this bias caused the Fund to underperform slightly during the second quarter, we
believe the present yield levels will re-attract investor interest in municipal
securities. In general, tax exempt securities now offer better relative rates of
return than were available at any time in the past two years.

CGM American Tax Free Fund's largest sector concentrations are in industrial
development/ pollution control, general obligation bonds and transportation. The
Fund's three largest holdings are Hodge Louisiana (Stone Container), Washington
State General Obligation Bonds and Howard County Maryland Multi-family housing
(Chase Glen Apartments).

The Fund's average annual total return since inception (November 10, 1993)
through June 30, 1999 is +4.8%. The adviser has agreed to absorb the Fund's
total operating expenses through December 31, 1999. Otherwise, the Fund's
total return since inception, and for the five-year, one-year, and three-month
periods ended June 30, 1999 would have been lower.

The performance data contained in the report represent past performance. The
investment return 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.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 1999
(unaudited)

1.  The Fund is a diversified series of CGM Trust which is organized as a
Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts pursuant to an
Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company.
The Trust has four other funds whose financial statements are not presented
herein. The Fund commenced operations on November 10, 1993. The primary
investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current income exempt from
federal income tax. The Fund's secondary investment objective is capital
appreciation.

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 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 -- Debt securities are valued on the basis of
    valuations furnished by a pricing service, authorized by the Board of
    Trustees, which determines valuations for normal, institutional-size
    trading units of such securities using market information, transactions
    for comparable securities and various relationships between securities
    which are generally recognized by institutional traders. 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.
    The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms. This
    may increase the risk if the other party to the transaction fails to
    deliver and causes the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous
    prices. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income
    is increased by the accretion of discount. Premium is amortized against
    interest income with a corresponding decrease in the cost basis. Net gain
    or loss on securities sold is determined on the identified cost basis.

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 and tax exempt income and net realized capital gains, within the
    prescribed time period. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax
    has been made. At December 31, 1998, there were capital loss carryovers
    available to offset future realized gains of $659,836 expiring in the year
    2002 and $224,953 expiring in 2004.

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.  OTHER -- The Fund has greater than 10% of its net assets at June 30, 1999
    invested in Massachusetts and New York. There are certain risks arising
    from geographical concentration in any state. Certain revenue or tax
    related events in a state may impair the ability of certain issuers of
    municipal securities to pay principal and interest on their obligations.

2.  PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES -- For the period ended June 30, 1999,
purchases and sales of securities other than United States government
obligations and short-term investments aggregated $2,932,430 and $2,520,705,
respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States government
obligations.

3.  A.  MANAGEMENT FEES -- During the period ended June 30, 1999, the Fund
        incurred management fees of $52,265 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 0.60% on the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net
        assets, 0.55% of the next $500 million and 0.45% of such assets in
        excess of $1 billion. CGM waived its entire fee. See Note 4.

    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. For the period
        ended June 30, 1999 these expenses amounted to $1,500 and are shown
        separately in the financial statements as Accounting and
        Administration. The entire expense was waived by CGM. See Note 4.

    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 CGM Funds with an annual fee of $37,000 plus travel expenses for
        each meeting attended. Of this amount, the Fund is responsible for
        $3,000 plus an annual variable fee calculated based on the proportion
        of the Fund's average net assets to the aggregate average net assets
        of the CGM Funds, which for the year of 1999 is $125.

4.  EXPENSE LIMITATION -- Until December 31, 1999, and, thereafter, until
further notice to the Fund, CGM has voluntarily agreed to waive its management
fee and to assume all expenses of the Fund. For the period ended June 30,
1999, CGM waived its entire management fee of $52,265, the entire Accounting
and Administration expense of $1,500 and assumed Fund expenses of $97,150.

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

CGM Realty Fund returned 18.4% during the second quarter of 1999 compared to the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's (NAREIT) Equity REIT
Index which increased 10.1% over the same period. For the first quarter of 1999
and the year-to-date, CGM Realty Fund results were -5.5% and 11.9%,
respectively, and the NAREIT Equity REIT Index, -4.8%* and 4.8%, respectively.

The economy is strong--perhaps, too strong. During the first quarter of 1999,
the Gross Domestic Product grew at a rate of 4.3%, exceeding the 3% rate
deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be sustainable without risking the
build-up of inflationary forces. Consequently, policymakers increased the
Federal Funds rate by one quarter of one percent on June 30th. We believe much
of the economy's current strength is attributable to technology investments by
businesses seeking to increase productivity, reduce costs or prepare for the
millennium. Consumer spending, which is also brisk, has outpaced increases in
personal income and is thought to be largely fueled by the rising stock
market. This phenomenon is risky as it cannot persist for any length of time.
Two years ago, the picture was remarkably similar. However, then the Japanese
and Asian economies were on the threshold of a slowdown which subsequently
relieved export and interest rate pressures on the US economy. The outlook now
is changed with Japan and much of Asia rebounding and possibly even
contributing to our economic growth.

In 1998, the stock market grew despite a small decline in overall corporate
profits. The General Motors strike, tobacco settlement and general
cost pressures took their toll on profits for many companies. So far this
year, profitability has been on the rise without last year's inhibiting
factors. Market performance may well become a contest between higher profits
on one hand and price-to-earnings ratios lowered by the threat of higher
interest rates on the other. Long term government bond rates have risen to
6.0% from 5.6% three months ago. We believe today's level reflects the current
strength of the economy. We also acknowledge that future rate hikes could
negatively affect the market, complicating the job of finding attractive
securities. For the moment, however, the market has broadened to include a
host of previously ignored companies which are well run and prospering,
including real estate investment trusts.

Despite months of disappointing market performance, we have remained steadfast
in our belief in the strong fundamentals of REITs, particularly in the office
and industrial sector where demand still exceeds supply and rising rents
contribute to an increase in Funds from Operations. Our commitment bore fruit
in the second quarter when high-valuation jitters sent many investors away
from large capitalization stocks into REITs and other value stocks.

CGM Realty Fund's largest sector positions are in office/industrial REITs,
hotel REITs and apartment REITs. The Fund's three largest holdings are Prime
Group Realty Trust, Apartment Investment and Management Company and SL Green
Realty Corporation.

1 Year .................................    - 2.6           - 2.6
3 Months ...............................    +18.4             --

The Fund's average annual total return since inception (May 13, 1994) through
June 30, 1999 is +13.7%. The adviser had limited the Fund's total operating
expenses to 1.00% of its average net assets from inception through December
31, 1997. Otherwise, the Fund's total return since inception and for the five-
year period ended June 30, 1999 would have been lower.

The performance data contained in the report represent past performance, which
is no guarantee of future results. The investment return 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.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 1999
(unaudited)

1.  The Fund is a diversified series of CGM Trust which is organized as a
Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts pursuant to an
Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company.
The Trust has four other funds whose financial statements are not presented
herein. The Fund commenced operations on May 13, 1994. The Fund's investment
objective is to earn above-average income and long-term growth of capital. The
Fund intends to pursue its objective by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies in the real estate industry.

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 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. 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 consist of ordinary income, capital
    gains and return of capital. The portion derived from capital gains and
    return of capital will result in a reduction of the Fund's dividend income
    and an increase in realized and unrealized gain on investments.

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. At December
    31, 1998 there were capital loss carry-overs available to offset future
    realized gains of $53,821,768 expiring in the year 2006.

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.  ORGANIZATION EXPENSE -- Costs incurred in 1994 in connection with the
    Fund's organization and registration amounting to $70,186 have been paid
    by the Fund. These costs were amortized over 60 months beginning May 13,
    1994 and ending May 12, 1999.

F.  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- All assets and liabilities initially
    expressed in terms of foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars.
    Transactions affecting statement of operations accounts and net realized
    gain/(loss) on investments are translated at the rates prevailing at the
    dates of the transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the
    results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on
    investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of
    securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and
    unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign
    exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency
    gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
    securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of
    dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's
    books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
    paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes
    in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in
    securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange
    rate.

2.  PURCHASES AND SALE OF SECURITIES -- For the period ended June 30, 1999,
purchases and sales of securities other than United States government
obligations and short-term investments aggregated $127,540,719 and
$134,722,436, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States
government obligations.

3.  A.  MANAGEMENT FEES -- During the period ended June 30, 1999, the Fund
        incurred management fees of $1,673,329, 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 0.85% on the first $500 million of the Fund's
        average daily net assets and 0.75% on amounts in excess of $500
        million.

    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. For the period
        ended June 30, 1999 these expenses amounted to $19,002 and are shown
        separately in the financial statements as Accounting and
        Administration.

    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 CGM Funds with an annual fee of $37,000 plus travel expenses for
        each meeting attended. Of this amount, the Fund is responsible for
        $3,000 plus an annual variable fee calculated based on the proportion
        of the Fund's average net assets to the aggregate average net assets
        of the CGM Funds, which for the year of 1999 is $3,927.

4.  LINE OF CREDIT -- The Fund has a $20,000,000 committed unsecured line of
credit with its custodian bank. Borrowings under the line will be charged
interest at 0.75% over the current Overnight Federal Funds Rate. The Fund will
incur a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on the unused portion of the line of
credit, payable quarterly. There were no borrowings under the line of credit
during the period ended June 30, 1999.

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

CGM Focus Fund returned 20.3% during the second quarter of 1999 compared to
the unmanaged Standard and Poor's 500 Index which increased 7.1% over the same
period. For the first six months of 1999, CGM Focus Fund returned 8.7% and the
unmanaged S&P 500 Index, 12.4%.

The economy is strong--perhaps, too strong. During the first quarter of 1999,
the Gross Domestic Product grew at a rate of 4.3%, exceeding the 3% rate
deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be sustainable without risking the
build-up of inflationary forces. Consequently, policymakers increased the
Federal Funds rate by one quarter of one percent on June 30th. We believe much
of the economy's current strength is attributable to technology investments by
businesses seeking to increase productivity, reduce costs or prepare for the
millennium. Consumer spending, which is also brisk, has outpaced increases in
personal income and is thought to be largely fueled by the rising stock
market. This phenomenon is risky as it cannot persist for any length of time.
Two years ago, the picture was remarkably similar. However, then the Japanese
and Asian economies were on the threshold of a slowdown which subsequently
relieved export and interest rate pressures on the US economy. The outlook now
is changed with Japan and much of Asia rebounding and possibly even
contributing to our economic growth.

In 1998, the stock market grew despite a small decline in overall corporate
profits. The General Motors strike, tobacco settlement and general cost
pressures took their toll on profits for many companies. So far this year,
profitability has been on the rise without last year's inhibiting factors.
Market performance may well become a contest between higher profits on one
hand and price-to-earnings ratios lowered by the threat of higher interest
rates on the other. Long term government bond rates have risen to 6.0% from
5.6% three months ago. We believe today's level reflects the
current strength of the economy. We also acknowledge that future rate hikes
could negatively affect the market, complicating the job of finding attractive
securities.

For the moment, however, the market has broadened to include a host of
previously ignored companies which are well run and prospering, and provide
more opportunities in individual stock picking and bond selection.

CGM Focus Fund holds important positions in the
manufacturing, retail, and mobile homes and RVs industries. The Fund's three
largest holdings are K-Swiss, Inc., Monaco Coach Corporation and Ames
Department Stores, Inc.

1 Year ......................................................          - 2.1%
6 Months ....................................................          + 8.7%
3 Months ....................................................          +20.3%

The Fund's total return since inception (September 3, 1997) through June 30,
1999 is +5.5%. The adviser has agreed to limit the Fund's total operating
expenses to 1.20% of its average net assets through December 31, 1999.
Otherwise, the Fund's total return since inception, and for the one-year, six-
month, and three-month periods ended June 30, 1999, would have been lower.

The performance data contained in the report represent past performance, which
is no guarantee of future results. The investment return 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 1999
(unaudited)

1.  The Fund is a non-diversified series of CGM Trust which is organized as a
Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts pursuant to an
Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company.
The Trust has four other funds whose financial statements are not presented
herein. The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The
Fund intends to pursue its objective by investing in a core position of equity
securities. In addition, should the investment outlook of the Fund's
investment manager so warrant, the Fund may engage in a variety of investment
techniques designed to capitalize on declines in the price of specific equity
securities of one or more companies.

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 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. Interest
    income is recorded on the accrual basis. Net gain or loss on securities sold
    is determined on the identified cost basis.

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. At December
    31, 1998 there were capital loss carryovers available to offset future
    realized gains of $13,022,258 expiring in the year 2005 and $8,539,209
    expiring in the year 2006.

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. 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.  ORGANIZATION EXPENSE -- Costs incurred in 1997 in connection with the Fund's
    organization and registration amounting to $90,771 have been paid by the
    Fund. These costs are being amortized over 60 months beginning September 3,
    1997.

F.  SHORT SALES -- The Fund may sell securities short. A short sale is a
    transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in
    anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. When the
    Fund makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short to make
    delivery to the buyer. The Fund then is obligated to replace the security
    borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of
    replacement. While the short sale is outstanding, the Fund is required to
    collateralize its obligations, which has the practical effect of limiting
    the extent to which the Fund may engage in short sales. At June 30, 1999,
    there were no outstanding short sales.

2.  PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES -- For the period ended June 30, 1999,
purchases and sales of securities other than United States government
obligations and short-term investments aggregated $140,701,167 and
$176,185,652, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of United States
government obligations.

3.  A.  MANAGEMENT FEES -- During the period ended June 30, 1999, the Fund
        incurred management fees of $461,254, 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 0.90% on
        amounts in excess of $1 billion. CGM waived a portion of its fee. See
        Note 4.

    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
        questionnaires for SEC compliance; and (iii) registration, filing and
        other fees in connection with requirements of regulatory authorities.
        For the period ended June 30, 1999 these expenses amounted to $6,500 and
        are shown separately in the financial statements as Accounting and
        Administration.

    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 CGM Funds with an annual fee of $37,000 plus travel expenses for
        each meeting attended. Of this amount, the Fund was responsible for
        $3,000 plus an annual variable fee calculated based on the proportion
        of the Fund's average net assets to the aggregate average net assets
        on the CGM Funds, which for the year of 1999 is $993.

4.  EXPENSE LIMITATION -- Until December 31, 1999 and, thereafter until
further notice to the Fund, CGM has voluntarily agreed to reduce its
management fee and, if necessary, to assume expenses of the Fund in order to
limit the Fund's expenses to an annual rate of 1.20% of average daily net
assets exclusive of any dividend expense occurred on short sales. As a result
of the Fund's expenses exceeding the voluntary expense limitation, for the
period ended June 30, 1999, CGM waived $140,302 of its management fee. The
Fund incurred operating expenses of $553,505, representing 1.20% of the
average daily net assets.

5.  LINE OF CREDIT -- The Fund has a $20,000,000 committed, secured line of
credit with its custodian bank. Borrowings under the line will be charged
interest at 0.75% over the current Overnight Federal Funds Rate. The Fund will
incur a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum on the unused portion of the line
of credit, payable quarterly. There were no borrowings under the line of
credit during the period ended June 30, 1999.
