To Our Shareholders:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CGM Fixed Income Fund increased 4.4% during the second quarter of 2000 compared
to the Merrill Lynch Master Bond Index which returned 1.6%. For the first six
months of the year, CGM Fixed Income Fund returned 7.8% and the Merrill Lynch
Master Bond Index grew 4.0%.
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 July 5, 2000 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.
In general, bonds bounced within a narrow yield range as uncertainty continued
to plague the market. CGM Fixed Income Fund dramatically outperformed the bond
market during the second quarter, thanks largely to the Fund's significant
position in real estate investment trusts (REITs). After a period of neglect,
REITs' solid income and credit fundamentals are finally being recognized by the
market.
CGM Fixed Income Fund holds large sector positions in REITs, media and finance.
The Fund's three largest holdings are Innova Sa De Real, Pacific Gulf
Properties, Inc. and APP International Finance Co. (Asia Pulp & Paper).
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.

5 Years ............................... +42.4% +7.3%
1 Year ................................ + 4.8 +4.8

The Fund's average annual total return from inception (March 17, 1992) through
June 30, 2000 is +8.7%. The adviser has agreed to limit the Fund's total
operating expenses to 0.85% of its average net assets annually through December
31, 2000. Otherwise the total return since inception, and for the five-year,
one-year and three-month periods ended June 30, 2000, would have been lower.
The performance data contained in this report represents 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.

CGM FIXED INCOME FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2000
(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. Along with one other fund in a separate Trust, there are six CGM funds
(CGM Funds). 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 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 -- 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 accrued daily
and includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium. 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.
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, 1999 there were capital loss carryovers available to offset future
realized gains of $1,677,676 expiring in the year 2005 and $1,113,890
expiring in the year 2007.
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, 2000,
purchases and sales of securities other than United States government
obligations and short-term investments aggregated $1,315,052 and $3,428,150,
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 $87,393 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,
2000, 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, 2000 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 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 $149 for the Fund.
4. EXPENSE LIMITATION -- Until December 31, 2000, 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, 2000, CGM waived $72,910 of its
management fee. The Fund incurred operating expenses of $114,283, representing
0.85% of the average daily net assets.

To Our Shareholders:

CGM Mutual Fund declined -4.9% during the second quarter of 2000 compared to
the Standard and Poor's 500 Index which lost -2.7% and the Merrill Lynch
Master Bond Index which returned 1.6% over the same period. For the first six
months of the year, CGM Mutual Fund declined -6.7%, the S&P 500 lost -0.4% and
the Merrill Lynch Master Bond Index increased 4.0%.
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 Mutual Fund is approximately 28% invested in U.S. Treasury Bills and
corporate bonds. The portfolio's equity section has important positions in the
steel industry, real estate investment trusts and electronic component
companies. The three largest holdings are Companhia Siderurgica National
Sponsored ADRs, Micron Technology, Inc. and Boston Properties, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2000
(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. Along with one other fund in a separate Trust, there are six CGM funds
(CGM Funds). 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 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. 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 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
$654,545,992 and $689,234,811, respectively. Purchases and sales of United
States government
obligations aggregated $406,969,136 and $425,720,385, respectively.
3. A. MANAGEMENT FEES -- During the period ended June 30, 2000, the Fund
incurred management fees of $3,497,692, 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 0.90% on the first $500 million of the Fund's
average daily net assets, 0.80% of the next $500 million and 0.75% 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 were
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 $44,500, 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 $4,170 for the Fund.

To Our Shareholders:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CGM American Tax Free Fund returned 1.4% during the second quarter of 2000
compared to the Lehman Municipal Bond Index which rose 1.5% over the same
period. For the first half of the year, CGM American Tax Free Fund increased
4.5% as did the Lehman Municipal Bond Index.
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.
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.
The tax exempt bond market essentially tracked the taxable bond market during
the second quarter, albeit in a somewhat muted fashion. The municipal market
continued to lack institutional buying interest and remained dominated by
retail investors. However, we are beginning to see signs of buying interest on
the part of insurance companies which may boost the performance of the sector
longer term.
CGM American Tax Free Fund is structured somewhat defensively in anticipation
of rising inflation. Given the lack of institutional buying interest in long-
term tax exempt paper, CGM American Tax Free Fund's intermediate average
maturity buoyed performance during periods of market uncertainty and weakness.
CGM American Tax Free Fund holds large positions in the industrial revenue/
pollution control, transportation and housing sectors. The Fund's three
largest positions are Hopewell Industrial Development Authority (Stone
Container), Howard County Maryland Multi-family Housing Chase Glen Apartments
(AvalonBay Properties) and E470 Colorado Public Highway Authority.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2000
(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. Along with one other fund in a separate Trust, there are six CGM funds
(CGM Funds). 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 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 -- 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 accrued daily
and includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium. 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, 1999, there were capital loss carryovers available to offset
future realized gains of $659,836 expiring in the year 2002, $224,953
expiring in 2004, and $818,812 expiring in 2007.
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 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, 2000
invested in New York and Virginia. 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, 2000,
purchases and sales of securities other than United States government
obligations and short-term investments aggregated $2,315,163 and $2,670,505,
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 $44,138 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 for the period ended
June 30, 2000. 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, 2000 these expenses amounted to $1,750 and are shown separately in
the financial statements as Accounting and Administration. The entire
expense was waived by CGM for the period ended June 30, 2000.
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 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 $80 for the Fund.
4. EXPENSE LIMITATION -- Until December 31, 2000, 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,
2000, CGM waived its entire management fee of $44,138, the entire Accounting
and Administration expense of $1,750 and assumed other Fund expenses of
$73,492.

To our Shareholders:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CGM Realty Fund increased 13.5% during the second quarter of 2000 compared to a
return of 10.5% for the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts'
Equity REIT Index over the same period. For the first six months of the year,
CGM Realty Fund returned 15.6% compared to a return of 13.2% for the NAREIT
Equity REIT Index.
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.
The REIT industry enjoyed significant appreciation during the second quarter of
2000, finally reflecting the continued strong growth in cash flows generated by
rising occupancy rates and rents in many property types and geographic markets.
Rising off a depressed base, REITs outperformed the S&P 500 for the first half
of the year providing an attractive alternative for investors disillusioned by
the technology shakeout earlier in the spring. Looking forward, we believe many
REITs are still undervalued at current levels providing the potential for future
appreciation.
CGM Realty Fund's largest sector concentrations are in office and industrial
REITs and apartment REITs. The Fund's three largest holdings are SL Green Realty
Corporation, Apartment Investment and Management Company and Home Properties New
York, 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 Fund's average annual total return since inception (May 13, 1994) through
June 30, 2000 is +12.4%. 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, 2000 would have been lower.
The performance data contained in this report represents 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.

CGM REALTY FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2000
(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. Along with one other fund in a separate Trust, there are six CGM funds
(CGM Funds). 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 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
consist 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. At December
31, 1999 there were capital loss carry- overs available to offset future
realized gains of $53,821,768 expiring in the year 2006 and $44,792,972
expiring in the year 2007.
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. 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.
F. 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 SALE 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 $179,190,037 and
$123,259,043, 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 $1,724,572, 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, 2000 these expenses amounted to $21,250 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 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 $1,833 for the Fund.
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, 2000.

To Our Shareholders:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CGM Focus Fund increased 8.4% 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 Focus Fund rose 6.8% 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.
The CGM Focus Fund portfolio is 42% invested in securities sold short. The three
largest short positions are Amazon.com, Inc., Global Crossing Ltd., and Level 3
Communications, Inc. The Fund's three largest holdings (excluding short
positions) are Micron Technology, Inc., Tubos de Acero de Mexico, S.A. ADRs and
Dataram Corporation.
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.

FUND
----------
1 Year .................................. +6.6%
6 Months ................................ +6.8
3 Months ................................ +8.4
The Fund's average annual total return since inception (September 3, 1997)
through June 30, 2000 is +4.2%. The adviser has agreed to limit the Fund's
total operating expenses to 1.20% of its average net assets through December
31, 2000. Otherwise, the Fund's total return since inception, and for the one-
year, six-month, and three-month periods ended June 30, 2000, would have been
lower.
The performance data contained in this report represents 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.

CGM FOCUS FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2000
(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. Along with one other fund in a separate Trust, there are six CGM funds
(CGM Funds). 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 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.
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, 1999 there were capital loss carryovers available to offset future
realized gains of $13,022,258 expiring in the year 2005, $8,539,209 expiring
in the year 2006, and $1,052,753 expiring in the year 2007.
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, 2000 the
market value of securities and cash segregated to cover short positions was
$8,611,174 and $29,605,854, respectively. Securities sold short at June 30,
2000 and their related market values are set forth in the schedule of
investments.
G. 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 $215,752,890 and
$255,684,600, 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 $279,035, 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, 2000 these expenses amounted to $6,000 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 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 on the CGM Funds, which for the six month period
ended June 30, 2000 was $383 for the Fund.
4. EXPENSE LIMITATION -- Until December 31, 2000 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 incurred on short sales. For the
period ended June 30, 2000, CGM waived $147,170 of its management fee. The
Fund incurred operating expenses of $334,842, 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, 2000.
