NOTES ON PERFORMANCE

Performance for each Alliance Portfolio is shown together with comparative
benchmarks, including both unmanaged market indices and universes of managed
portfolios. The Portfolios' annualized net rates of return are based on the
percentage change in the net asset value of Class 1A shares with dividends and
capital gains reinvested. Returns are net of investment management fees and
expenses of the Trust. Total returns for Class 1B shares will differ due to
different expenses. These rates are not representative of the actual return you
would receive under a policy. No policyowner can invest directly in the Trust.
Changes in policy values depend not only on the investment performance of the
Trust, but also on the insurance and administrative charges, applicable sales
charges and the mortality and expense risk charge applicable under a policy.
These policy charges effectively reduce the dollar amount of any net gains and
increase the dollar amount of any net losses. All performance shown is
annualized, unless otherwise noted.

THE BENCHMARKS

Market indices are not subject to any charges for investment advisory fees
typically associated with a managed portfolio. Comparisons with these
benchmarks, therefore, are of limited use. We include them because they are
widely known and may help you to understand the universe of securities from
which each Portfolio is likely to select its holdings.

ALLIANCE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

Events during the final quarter of 1998 made us aware of how sensitive financial
markets can be towards international developments. We also witnessed how swift
Federal Reserve initiative can reassure or even correct markets woes. In the
wake of Russian bond defaults and the restructuring of the major hedge fund,
Long Term Capital Management, on top of the already existing Asian crisis,
credit spreads continued to widen as we entered the fourth quarter. In addition,
bond issuance declined and liquidity (or lack of liquidity) greatly concerned
the Federal Reserve. A series of three interest rate easings by the Fed
commencing in September reduced the Fed funds target level from a rate of 5.50%
to a rate of 4.75% by mid-November. The decisive response by the Fed prompted a
narrowing of credit and liquidity spreads and demonstrated to financial markets
that Fed officials would intervene to avoid intervals of extreme volatility.

Domestically, our economy remained strong through the end of the year, mainly
against a backdrop of continued inflation checks. Highlighting these checks, one
would have to look at a further collapse in oil prices as a main theme. Oil
prices were 30% lower in 1998 than in 1997. The finished goods Producer Price
Index (PPI) declined in the fourth quarter and was down 0.7% from November 1997
to November 1998. The October and November data pointed to a strong pace of
consumer spending in the fourth quarter, which would support a strong quarter of
real GDP growth.

With an awareness of how September and October funding pressures were playing
havoc on money markets, the Fed was anxious to prevent any future ugliness going
into year-end. First we saw a reduction in the Fed funds target level as was
previously discussed. Additionally, the Fed pumped new money into the system
throughout December, less concerned with adding too much in the way of reserves,
rather than not enough. These actions, combined with an influx of new assets to
the money-market mutual fund industry throughout the quarter, aided to subside
year-end funding pressures. As these developments unfolded, we elected to make
use of a short-term yield curve we felt would become flat by year-end (a steeper
yield curve reflects lower prices). Therefore, a major portion of our longer
term investing (60 days or longer) took place in late November and early
December (in order to lock in rates at the higher yield level). Our typical
strategy of avoiding January maturities is designed so that the Money Market
Portfolio may enjoy higher yields without the worries of re-investment at a
significantly lower rate.

We believe the economy should retain its forward momentum in the early stages of
1999. Some of the forces suppressing inflation through last year should remain
in effect in the beginning of the year, mainly lower energy costs and falling
commodity prices. Our expectation is that the Fed will hold off on its easing
process through the first quarter of 1999. What is less clear is to speculate on
whether economic growth will slow down later in the spring. Without any
convincing indications that interest rates will move any time soon, we
anticipate investing the bulk of our cash no further than quarter to quarter.

ALLIANCE INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

The U.S. bond market posted solid returns in 1998. During the first half of the
year, interest rates remained relatively stable, and investor demand for
yield-oriented securities, corporate bonds as well as mortgage-backed
securities, was high. Despite strong U.S. economic growth, inflation remained
low, further increasing demand in the bond market. During the third quarter,
global markets suffered from heightened concerns about global recession as the
financial and economic turmoil in Asia spread to Russia and Latin America. The
resulting "flight to quality" spurred a rally in the U.S. Treasury market and
other "safe haven" government bond markets outside the U.S. while negatively
impacting returns in the corporate, mortgage and high-yield bond sectors.

The Alliance Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio posted strong positive
returns for the year ended December 31, 1998. However, the Portfolio
underperformed its unmanaged benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government Bond Index, mostly as a result of its mortgage sector allocation.
Record low interest rates kept prepayment rates high throughout the year,
hurting the performance of mortgage-related securities. The Portfolio's U.S.
Treasury holdings, however, helped its performance as the sector benefited from
the "flight to quality" in the third quarter.

Looking forward into 1999, we believe the risk of global recession has
diminished after the recent wave of official interest-rate cuts around the
world. However, global growth will continue to slow and inflation will remain
subdued as the consequences of excess productive capacity are felt around the
world. U.S. economic activity is expected to moderate from the robust rate of
the fourth quarter, with growth estimates centered around 2.5% for 1999. We
believe further interest-rate reductions by the Federal Reserve are likely, but
not imminent. U.S. interest rates, as well as inflation, should remain low and
the U.S. Treasury market should continue to provide a "safe haven" during times
of volatility. We expect the mortgage-backed sector should provide benefits due
to their attractive valuations and slower prepayment levels as mortgage rates
have risen and we enter a period of slower refinancing.

ALLIANCE QUALITY BOND PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

The Quality Bond Portfolio posted strong positive returns for the year ended
December 31, 1998, and matched the performance of its unmanaged benchmark, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Throughout much of the year, the
Portfolio's holdings were defensively focused on the U.S. government sector. The
financial turmoil in the third quarter helped the Treasury holdings outperform
the credit sensitive, corporate and mortgage-backed securities in the Portfolio.
Within the corporate sector, the Portfolio held mostly high-quality stable names
such as Chase Manhattan, Time Warner, WorldCom and Turner Broadcasting. The
Portfolio also utilized 15- and 30-year mortgage-backed securities with coupons
between 6.5% and 8.0%.

During the first half of 1998, interest rates remained relatively stable and
investor demand for yield-oriented securities, corporate bonds as well as
mortgage-backed securities, was high. Low inflation further increased demand in
the bond market despite strong U.S. economic growth. As financial and economic
turmoil in Asia spread to other emerging markets, during the third quarter
global markets suffered from heightened concerns about recession. The consequent
"flight to quality" spurred a rally in the U.S. Treasury market, and other "safe
haven" government bond markets outside the U.S., while negatively impacting
returns in the corporate and mortgage bond sectors.

After the recent wave of official interest rate cuts around the world, we
believe the risk of global recession has diminished. As the consequences of
excess productive capacity are felt around the world, however, global growth
will continue to slow and inflation will remain subdued. In our view, further
interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve are likely, but not imminent.
U.S. interest rates, as well as inflation, should remain low and the U.S.
Treasury market should continue to provide a "safe haven" during times of

================================================================================
ALLIANCE HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

During 1998, the U.S. bond market posted solid returns. Interest rates remained
relatively stable and investor demand for yield-oriented securities, corporate
bonds and mortgage-backed securities was high from January through July. Demand
in the bond market increased despite strong U.S. economic growth and low
inflation. During the third quarter, global markets suffered from heightened
concerns about recession. This occurred as the financial and economic turmoil in
Asia spread to Russia and Latin America. A rally in the U.S. Treasury market and
other "safe haven" government bond markets outside the U.S. was spurred by a
"flight to quality" which resulted from the economic turmoil. However, returns
in the corporate, high yield and mortgage bond sectors were negatively impacted.
In the fourth quarter, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates helping restore
confidence in the financial markets. The equity markets returned to record highs
reached in July, while credit markets stabilized. However, the high-yield market
recovered only about one half of the depreciation suffered in the third quarter.

The Alliance High Yield Portfolio posted negative returns for the year ended
December 31, 1998, and underperformed its unmanaged benchmark, the Merrill Lynch
Master High Yield Index. Our focus on single B's (as rated by Standard & Poor's)
and zero coupon securities hurt our performance, as these high-yield securities
dramatically underperformed other high-yield securities. After the third quarter
market turmoil, we selectively picked solid credits which we thought were
undervalued. We were particularly interested in the communications sector, which
benefited from strong earnings and merger activity in 1998. The utility sector
also provided some attractive investments, as this sector benefits from its
"safe haven" reputation during times of market volatility.

We believe the risk of global recession has diminished after the recent wave of
official interest rate cuts around the world. As we move into 1999, we believe
that global growth should continue to slow and inflation will remain subdued as
a result of excess productivity which will be felt around the world. Fourth
quarter growth in the U.S. was robust. However, we estimate 1999 U.S. economic
activity to moderate to approximately 2.5%. We continue to view the high-yield
sector favorably. Currently, the average high-yield index is yielding about 6.0%
- - 7.0% over Treasuries, which offers tremendous value. The combination of
moderate growth and low inflation will help high-yield spreads to continue
contracting throughout 1999. However, the importance of issuer selection will
increase as the domestic economy slows and turmoil in global markets causes
short term price volatility. We will be focusing more on single B rated credits
with hard assets, contributed equity from the sponsor, or a large market
capitalization. We are attempting to pare down the CCC rated securities as well
as some of the deferred interest securities in the Portfolio. Media,
telecommunications and the cable sectors will still represent the largest
sectors within the Portfolio. Credit selection will play a pivotal role in 1999
as default rates should slowly rise to about 3.0% - 3.25%. Even though 1998 was
extremely volatile and most high-yield funds generated negative returns, we
continue to find very compelling reasons to invest in the high-yield market in
1999.

ALLIANCE GROWTH & INCOME PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

Due to the financial crises in Japan and the emerging markets, the past 12
months have been characterized by extremes in the performance of various
financial instruments. Among the extremes has been the performance of value
stocks, in which price tends to be low relative to earnings or book value,
versus growth stocks, for which current business expectations foster higher
prices for a given level of earnings. Over the last year, the S&P 500 Stock
Index returned 28.58%, but if separated into growth and value components, the
growth segment's appreciation of nearly 43% dwarfed the value portion's return
of 15%.

The Growth & Income Portfolio intentionally maintains a value bias versus the
S&P 500, but nevertheless slightly outperformed its unmanaged benchmark, a
composite composed of 75% S&P 500 and 25% Value Line Convertibles. The Portfolio
returned 20.86% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 1998, while its
composite benchmark returned 20.10%. The Portfolio also outperformed its peer
group average, the Lipper Growth and Income Fund Average, during 1999.

The emerging markets crisis reached a peak in August with the Russian debt
default. The potential for financial turmoil that followed led the Federal
Reserve to lower interest rates three times since September. We hope that this
is the catalyst for value stocks to improve their performance as confidence
returns to the markets and demand for investments broadens out beyond a small
group of large capitalization stocks.

The Portfolio has been consistent in its portfolio characteristics of
maintaining a defensive dividend yield and price to earnings ratio, a fully
invested posture, and a high degree of sector and industry diversification. We
continue to seek the stocks of companies with primarily secular growth potential
combined with reasonable valuations. Finally, we rely on Alliance Capital's
internal research capabilities in selecting stocks that we expect will deliver
superior performance.

ALLIANCE EQUITY INDEX PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

The Alliance Equity Index Portfolio returned an impressive 28.07% for the year
ending December 1998, performing in-line with the S&P 500 Stock Index, which
returned 28.58%. The Portfolio experienced increased trading activity during the
year as a result of accelerated participant cash flows and ever-increasing
corporate reorganization activity. The Alliance Equity Index Portfolio is the
only passively managed portfolio within The Hudson River Trust. Using a
stratified sampling technique, the Portfolio is constructed to track the
investment results of the S&P 500 Stock Index. For the current period under
review, the Portfolio was able to accomplish this goal.

During the fourth quarter of the year, the S&P 500 underwent a number of
changes, consisting of both additions and deletions.

The companies added to the S&P 500 were: AES Corp., PeopleSoft, Staples, Coca
Cola Enterprises, CitiGroup, Wells Fargo (new), New Century Energy, Safeway,
Danaher, Sprint PCS Group, Carnival Corp., Solectron, Compuware Corp., Firstar
Corp. New Wis., and America OnLine.

The companies deleted from the S&P 500 were: U.S. Surgical, First Chicago
BanCorp., General Signal, Travelers Corp, Citicorp., Wells Fargo, Norwest,
Chrysler, Stone Container, Armco, General Re, Pennzoil, SunAmerica Inc., Amoco
Corp., and Venator Group.

The U.S. equity markets produced unprecedented positive returns in each of the
past four years with the S&P 500 Index performing at 28.6% for year ending
December 31, 1998. Over the past four years, the Index has appreciated in excess
of 180% due to continued strength of the U.S. economy without any evidence of
inflation, solid corporate profits and low unemployment. Given the strong
historical performance of the S & P 500 Index, we believe that a reasonable
projection of total return for 1999 is 5%-12%.

Judith A. DeVivo, Portfolio Manager


================================================================================

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

Total return before expenses that approximates the total return performance of
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("the Index"), including reinvestment of
dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of the Index.

INVESTMENT POLICY

Selected securities in the Index which the adviser believes will, in the
aggregate, approximate the performance results of the Index.

================================================================================
ALLIANCE COMMON STOCK PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

The U.S. markets moved steadily higher in the first half of 1998, but then
experienced a turbulent second half. The 1997 collapse of Asian markets and
economies seemed to have little effect on the U.S. economy or stock market until
late summer 1998. In the third quarter of 1998, worsening economic conditions in
Asia began to put pressure on Western markets. When Russia defaulted on its
foreign debt, sentiment turned bleakly pessimistic with talk of worldwide
recession and uncontrolled deflation. From its July peak to its October low, the
U. S. market dropped about 20%, with many stocks faring far worse.

With its concentration in financial stocks and the volatile technology sector,
the value of the Common Stock Portfolio's shares fell sharply. With the U. S.
economy performing well, and with inflation and interest rates low, we did not
believe that there would necessarily be a recession. Furthermore, we thought
that if there were a recession it would likely be a modest one. In September and
October it seemed to us that the market was experiencing some financial panic
rather than the beginning of a bear market. We used this market weakness to
expand our positions in the technology sector, with particular emphasis on
communications.

These purchases proved to be quite timely. When the Federal Reserve began to cut
interest rates, and made it clear that it would continue to do so if the economy
and markets weakened further, the stock market began a rapid recovery. As it
became apparent that the U. S. economy was continuing to grow, the recovery
gained momentum and in a remarkably short time, new all-time market highs were
attained. The Portfolio performed strongly in this recovery and by year end had
gained 29.4%, outpacing the S&P 500 return of 28.6%, for the 1998 calendar year.

Conditions appear favorable for continued gains entering 1999. However,
valuations have reached uncomfortably high levels and the market is taking on an
increasingly speculative tone, especially with respect to on-line trading of
Internet-related stocks. We remain optimistic about long-term prospects for the
U. S. economy and markets, but caution that 1999 could be another year of
considerable volatility.

ALLIANCE GLOBAL PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

The Alliance Global Portfolio's rate of return for 1998 was 21.80% compared to
its benchmark, the MSCI World Index, which returned 24.34%. The S&P 500 rose
28.58% for the year, closely matching the 28.91% rise in European markets as
measured by the MSCI Europe Index. The MSCI Japan Index, on a U.S. dollar basis,
rose 5.25% in 1998, aided by a 15% appreciation in the yen against the dollar.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index fell 25.34% in 1998, as investor sentiment
soured on all emerging markets in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Central
Europe /Russia.

With lower rates and continuing economic strength, the U.S. market barreled
ahead after a brief setback in August and September. Technology stocks led the
market out of its doldrums in the fall, and the Portfolio benefited from an
overweight position in this sector.

European equity markets were aided by coordinated global interest rate easings
by the European central banks, and financial services companies rebounded from
lows due to credit crunch concerns. Telecommunication companies hit new highs
with news of spectacular mobile phone subscriber growth and of numerous
strategic mergers. The Portfolio's holdings in European financials and
telecommunications helped boost its international returns.

However, the Japanese market experienced several rounds of altering investor
sentiment. The unexpected increase in the yen hurt export-related stocks. As a
result, the Portfolio's holdings in such blue chip stocks as Sony, Nintendo Co.
Ltd. and Honda Motor Co. Ltd. suffered in performance with the significant
appreciation in the country's currency and contributed to the Portfolio's
underperformance relative to its benchmark. Even though the Portfolio's weight
in Japan is close to that of the MSCI World Index, these specific stocks
negatively impacted the Portfolio's performance. The Portfolio's positions in
Japanese domestic-related stocks (which are not as currency sensitive) have been
increased at the expense of the export-related names.

We believe the European markets remain attractive in the current environment of
declining rates. The introduction of the Euro has thus far been smooth and this
new European cooperation should benefit all of the countries in the European
Monetary Union. We believe that as European enterprises work to become more
globally competitive, shareholders should reap the rewards. In the U.S., we
remain overweight in financials and technology stocks.

ALLIANCE INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

The Alliance International Portfolio returned 10.57%, trailing its unmanaged
benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, for the year ended December 31, 1998 due in most
part to over exposure to smaller capitalization stocks. The MSCI EAFE Index rose
20.00% as a result of strength in the European markets. Asian markets were down
for the year with the exception of Australia, Japan, Thailand and South Korea.
The MSCI Europe Index rose 28.91% for the year. The MSCI Japan Index rose 5.25%,
aided by a 15% yen appreciation. Large capitalization shares significantly
outperformed smaller cap issues.

The Portfolio's European holdings remained concentrated in growth stocks. In the
financial services sector, the Portfolio's holdings rebounded from lows due to
credit crunch concerns this summer. The Portfolio's telecommunication companies
hit new highs with news of spectacular mobile phone subscriber growth and of
numerous strategic mergers.

In Japan, the Portfolio's holdings represent primarily export-related companies.
These stocks performed well earlier in the year, but suffered with the
unexpected appreciation in the yen in October. On the margin, we have added to
domestic names (which are not as sensitive to currency fluctuations) and have
reduced export-related names.

We believe the European markets remain attractive in the current environment of
declining rates. The introduction of the Euro has thus far been smooth and this
European cooperation should benefit all of the countries in the European
Monetary Union. We believe that as European enterprises work to be more globally
competitive, shareholders should reap the rewards.

GROWTH OF $10,000 INVESTMENT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1998

================================================================================
ALLIANCE AGGRESSIVE STOCK PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

1998 was a year characterized by the continuing surge in large-cap stocks with
small- and mid-cap stocks trailing considerably. During 1998, the S&P 500 Stock
Index and the S&P Midcap 400 Index gained 28.6%, and 18.3%, respectively, but
the Russell 2000 Index declined 2.6 %.

The Aggressive Stock Portfolio strives to invest in the best quality growth
names in the small-cap and mid-cap sectors. We look for growth characteristics
in both growth and cyclical industries. We do not believe that the S&P 500 can
continue its tremendous outperformance going forward. Based on virtually any
historical measure taken, these mega-cap stocks have reached virtually all-time
high valuations relative to their growth rates and fundamental outlook. We
strongly believe that small- and mid-cap stocks will offer investors a potential
for greater return when these values are finally recognized in the marketplace.
When this event takes place, we believe the Portfolio should be positioned to
perform relatively well.

In 1998, the Portfolio had a very strong first quarter, but gave some gains back
during the second quarter. During the first half of 1998, the Portfolio gained
9.23%, while its benchmark, a 50%/50% composite of the S&P Midcap 400 and the
Russell 2000 indices, was up 6.79%. However, the Portfolio's entire
underperformance for calendar1998 occurred during the third quarter and first
eight days of the fourth quarter. From July 1 through October 8, the Portfolio
declined 38.9 %, versus the benchmark return of -27.6%. Interestingly, our
underperformance coincided with the interim bottoming of the stock market. From
October 8 through December 31, the Portfolio advanced 50.67%, versus the
benchmark's gain of 39.43%.

We believe that there were three major reasons for the Portfolio's relative
underperformance during 1998. First, growth stocks with cyclical exposure did
not perform well during the third quarter. Many investors feared that there
would be recession in 1999 and, subsequently, their earnings outlook
deteriorated. Specifically, the airline sector and the rental car sector, two
fundamentally strong industries showing tremendous profitability, lost almost
two years of stock performance during this one quarter alone. Investors had
shifted out of such stocks and into stocks that had more positive momentum
(price and volume trends).

Second, we underestimated the amount of momentum that was evident as investors
bought and sold stocks. In many cases, valuations took longer to be realized
when we decided to buy, and conversely, the stocks that we sold were carried to
higher valuations as momentum investors were willing to pay higher prices than
we thought these stocks justified.

Third, while we like to think of ourselves as leading edge investors looking for
that next great idea, we were unwilling to take a huge overweighting in the
technology sector and more specifically, we avoided investing in Internet
stocks. America Online (AOL), which used to be in the S&P Midcap 400 Index, was
by far the largest single weighting in the index. Thus, not owning AOL for the
duration of 1998 affected our relative performance. In our opinion, Internet
stocks were overpriced when 1998 began, and are even more overpriced as we enter
1999. We believe that when investors start looking at fundamentals and
valuations, and not hype and momentum, prices will be reflected accordingly.

We have addressed in the Portfolio the issues cited above, and we are extremely
positive about the Portfolio as we enter the new year. We firmly believe that
when the turn for small- and mid-cap stocks does occur, we will be extremely
well positioned to fully participate.

================================================================================
ALLIANCE SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

The Small Cap Growth Portfolio posted returns of -4.28% for the 12-month period
ended December 31, 1998, while its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index
returned 1.23% for the same time frame. While small cap stocks did not perform
well for the year overall, they did begin to rebound during the fourth quarter
of 1998. However, even a strong October rally was not enough to turn the sector
around significantly. The rally stalled beginning in November, most likely as a
result of investors selling their small cap stocks at the end of the year for
tax planning purposes.

However, there continues to be compelling reasons for owning small cap stocks.
Traditionally, small cap stocks have higher price/earnings ratios, reflecting
their higher growth potential. Yet the estimated price/earnings ratio for
companies in the Russell 2000 Index next year is 19.5 times relative to the 24.8
times for the S&P 500 Stock Index, despite the fact that these small cap company
stocks have higher expected growth rates. Also important is that, given the
volatility of the international economy, small cap stocks are expected to be
less vulnerable to international problems because they tend to have most of
their business in the U.S. Notably, performance results have improved
significantly since the October 8 low with the Russell 2000 up 36.0% as compared
to 28.1% for the S&P 500.

All economic sectors of the Russell 2000 Index were positive during the fourth
quarter, except for energy. Technology, health care and consumer services were
top performing areas of the Index. Your Portfolio was overweighted in each of
the top performing areas as compared to the Russell 2000. Looking at the top 10
holdings in your Portfolio, all had strong double-digit returns for the quarter,
except for Data Processing Resources Corp. which was flat and Metamor Worldwide
Inc., which declined. Both companies provide information technology staffing.

Within the technology area, strong fourth quarter performance came from Comverse
Technology, Inc., maker of enhanced telecommunications systems and Flextronics
International, a world leading provider of contract electronics manufacturing
for communication, computer, consumer electronics and medical device industries.
Health care related companies, Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp. and MedImmune, Inc.
both increased. Within consumer services, entertainment based companies, Premier
Parks Inc. and SFX Entertainment, both had outstanding quarters.

Since 1926, returns on small cap company stocks have averaged 12% a year,
outperforming the 10% return achieved by larger-cap companies. Since 1994,
however, the Russell 2000 has lagged behind the S&P 500. Accordingly, it would
appear that small caps are historically undervalued by a wide margin. Going
forward, we strongly believe that small-cap stocks will offer investors the
potential for greater returns when these values are finally recognized in the
marketplace.

ALLIANCE CONSERVATIVE INVESTORS PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

Developments in global fixed income markets dominated economic policy actions in
both the developed and developing world during 1998. As the year began,
expectations for economic and profit growth began to rise as it appeared that
the U.S. and Europe were not going to be significantly affected by the collapse
in the Asian economies. Both bond and equity markets were buttressed by benign
inflation, and the economy continued to surprise most investors on the upside.
In late summer, however, the Russian government was unable to bring stability to
its fixed-income and currency markets, prompting a unilateral default on some of
its sovereign debt. This disturbance spread to other developing markets that
were vulnerable to the flight of capital, such as Brazil. Credit markets almost
stopped functioning and yield spreads on high-risk fixed-income instruments
widened to new record levels. These unprecedented conditions - namely a
breakdown of historical relationships - forced one super-sized hedge fund, Long
Term Capital Management, to the brink of liquidation. Federal Reserve officials
encouraged the hedge fund's creditors to provide additional equity capital in
order to diffuse the risks of liquidation. Demonstrating the linkages among
markets of different asset classes, equities tumbled around the world. The
NASDAQ industrial fell 27% during the two months of July and August.

The Fed followed up in its intervention with three consecutive 25 basis point
cuts in short-term interest rates (from 5.50% to 4.75%). Other central banks
quickly followed. These moves seem to have restored investors' confidence and
markets rebounded sharply for the balance of the year.

Equity markets turned in another year of exceptional performance. Supporting
these historical above-average returns was the recognition that the U.S. economy
could grow at rates exceeding 3%; unemployment would drop to levels not seen in
25 years; and profitability in many of our leading industries would reach high
levels without triggering inflationary pressures.

The Conservative Investors Portfolio returned 13.9% for the 1998 calendar year.
This compared with a 28.6% return for the S&P 500 Stock Index and a 10.0% return
for the Lehman Brothers Treasury Index. A 30%/70% weighting of these indices,
respectively, produced a 15.6% return for 1998. One of the dominant
characteristics of U.S. equity markets of the last few years has been the
record-breaking performance gap favoring a handful of large-capitalization
companies that dominate the indices. For example, the largest 20 companies
outperformed the average S&P 500 stock by 27% last year. This concentration of
performance made it difficult for broadly diversified portfolios to match the
index. That said, your Portfolio underperformed the 30%/70% respective
combination of the S&P 500 and the Lehman Brothers Treasury Index, because the
Portfolio is not as relatively concentrated in the large-capitalization stocks
which dominated the indices. In our opinion, the performance gap will begin to
close in 1999, as the prospects for a resumption of global growth becomes
visible. We have maintained an above-benchmark cash position of 14.2% at
year-end to reflect our judgement that the market is at very high valuation
levels. We will use this reserve as future buying opportunities present
themselves.

ALLIANCE BALANCED PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

1998 was another exceptional year in the global capital markets. All of the
larger markets in the developed world, with the exception of Japan, produced
very rewarding results. This was the case for both the equity and fixed income
markets - the two asset classes represented in the Balanced Portfolio. Once
again, the U.S. stock market led the way, generating returns in excess of 20% as
measured by the S&P 500 Stock Index for four consecutive years in a row.

The major factors that created such a favorable investment environment included
stronger-than-expected economic growth, better productivity, and wage behavior
that kept inflationary pressures from developing. This positive mix of strong
growth and benign inflation was accompanied by a reversal from a federal fiscal
deficit to a surplus and a resumption in the rate of real wage growth.

There were, however, some disruptions in these favorable trends during the
course of the year. Developing markets in Asia continued to struggle - first to
achieve stability and then to begin economic recovery. The vulnerability of the
currency and capital markets in the developing world to swings in investor
sentiment periodically upset capital markets in the developed world. Russia was
unable to implement effective economic policies to stabilize its debt and
currency markets and unilaterally defaulted on a portion of its sovereign debt.
The so-called "contagion effect" that now characterizes developing markets meant
other vulnerable economies, such as Brazil, came under investor scrutiny. Credit
markets were paralyzed and there was a marked and unprecedented widening in
interest rate spreads on lower quality securities. Long Term Capital Management,
a super-sized hedge fund with highly leveraged positions, had to be rescued by
its creditors at the urging of the Federal Reserve. The Fed intervened because
there was concern about the possible effects on the capital markets from a
forced liquidation. The Board soon followed up on its intervention with three
consecutive 25 basis point cuts in short-term interest rates (from 5.50% to
4.75%). Consequently, other central bankers quickly followed suit. As a result
of this intervention, investor confidence was restored and the markets recovered
smartly by year-end.

The Portfolio benefited from the strong performance of both equity and
fixed-income markets, returning 18.11% for the year. The S&P 500 returned 28.58%
while the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index returned 9.47%. A 50/50 mix of
these two indices combined to produce a benchmark return of 19.02%. We have
maintained a cash reserve position of 5.6% at year-end in order to take
advantage of any buying opportunities that might present themselves in an equity
market that appears to be highly valued.

ALLIANCE GROWTH INVESTORS PORTFOLIO
================================================================================

For the fourth year in a row, capital markets performed in an extraordinary
manner. This celebration of well above historical average returns was confined
to developed markets, with the exception of Japan.

This exceptional performance reflected a mixture of events. The strong U.S.
economic recovery extended into its eighth year - a post-war record. Inflation
remained benign not withstanding historically tight labor market conditions.
U.S. budget deficits disappeared and turned into surpluses. Productivity gains
continued to surprise forecasters, interest rates hit new lows and profitability
measures in the information content and processing industries exceeded even the
most optimistic expectations.

On the other hand, developing market economies continued to struggle. The series
of currency and economic crises that began in Thailand and spread to other Asian
countries served to heighten investor awareness of the risks inherent in
developing markets. Russia's default on some of its sovereign debt in late
summer of 1998 caused global financial markets to freeze-up, driving risk premia
on all but the most liquid U.S. Treasuries to record highs. Fixed-income and
credit markets almost stopped functioning as a major-sized hedge fund was
threatened with potential liquidation. The Federal Reserve intervened with the
hedge fund's creditors in order to avoid destabilizing the market and then
followed quickly with three consecutive 25 basis point cuts in short-term
interest rates. Other central banks followed. Markets recovered smartly to close
the year higher.

The Growth Investors Portfolio returned 19.1% for the 1998 calendar year. This
compared with a 28.6% return for the S&P 500 Stock Index and a 9.5% gain for the
Lehman Brothers (LB) Government/Corporate Bond Index. A 70%/30% weighting of
these indices, respectively, combined to produce a 22.8% return. The dominant
feature of the domestic equity market during the year was the record-breaking
performance gap between a handful of many large-capitalization companies that
dominate the indexes. For example, the largest 20 outperformed the average S&P
500 stock by 27% last year - the greatest skewing of the last 30 years. That
said, your Portfolio underperformed the 70%/30% respective combination of the
S&P 500 and the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, mainly because
the Portfolio is not as relatively concentrated in the large-capitalization
stocks which dominated the indexes. In our opinion, this gap will close as the
outlook for global growth improves in the second half of 1999. Cash positions
remain above benchmark, at 11.0%, as a reserve for future buying opportunities
in the market.

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1998

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

     The Hudson River Trust (the "Trust") (successor to The Hudson River Fund,
Inc., a Maryland corporation organized in 1984) was formed as a Massachusetts
business trust on July 10, 1987 and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Trust issues shares of beneficial interest currently divided among
fourteen Portfolios (the "Portfolios"): Alliance Money Market, Alliance
Intermediate Government Securities, Alliance Quality Bond, Alliance High Yield,
Alliance Growth and Income, Alliance Equity Index, Alliance Common Stock,
Alliance Global, Alliance International, Alliance Aggressive Stock, Alliance
Small Cap Growth, Alliance Conservative Investors, Alliance Balanced and
Alliance Growth Investors. Effective October 2, 1996, the Trust made available
a second class of shares, Class IB, for each of the Trust's Portfolios. In
connection with the Class IB shares offering, the existing class of shares was
redesignated Class IA. The Class IB shares are subject to distribution fees
imposed under a distribution plan (the "Distribution Plan") adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Trust's multiple class distribution
system, both classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation,
and other rights, other than the payment of distribution fees under the
Distribution Plan.

     Class IA shares are offered to separate accounts of The Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United States ("Equitable"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of The Equitable Companies Incorporated, and to separate accounts of other
insurance companies unaffiliated with Equitable. Class IB shares are offered to
separate accounts of Equitable.

     The investment objectives of each Portfolio are as follows:

     Alliance Money Market Portfolio -- High level of current income, preserve
its assets and maintain liquidity. The Portfolio pursues this objective by
investing in primarily high quality U.S. dollar denominated money market
instruments.

     Alliance Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio -- High current
income consistent with relative stability of principal through investment
primarily in debt securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest
by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.

     Alliance Quality Bond Portfolio -- High current income consistent with
preservation of capital by investing primarily in investment grade fixed income
securities. The Portfolio reserves the right to invest in convertible debt
securities, preferred stocks and dividend-paying common stocks.

     Alliance High Yield Portfolio -- High return by maximizing current income
and, to the extent consistent with that objective, capital appreciation. The
Portfolio pursues this objective by investing primarily in a diversified mix of
high yield, fixed income securities involving greater volatility of price and
risk of principal and income than high quality fixed income securities. The
medium and lower quality debt securities in which the Portfolio may invest are
known as "junk bonds."

     Alliance Growth and Income Portfolio -- High total return through a
combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily
in income-producing common stocks and securities convertible into common
stocks.

     Alliance Equity Index Portfolio -- Total return before expenses that
approximates the total return performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index,
including reinvestment of dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of
the Index.

     Alliance Common Stock Portfolio -- Long-term growth of its capital and
increase income. The Portfolio pursues this objective by investing primarily in
common stock and other equity-type instruments.

     Alliance Global Portfolio -- Long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio
pursues this objective by investing primarily in equity securities of
non-United States companies as well as United States issuers.

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1998
 
     Alliance International Portfolio -- Long-term growth of capital by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities selected
principally to permit participation in non-United States companies with
prospects for growth.

     Alliance Aggressive Stock Portfolio -- Long-term growth of capital. The
Portfolio pursues this objective by investing primarily in common stocks and
other equity-type securities issued by quality small and intermediate sized
companies with strong growth prospects.

     Alliance Small Cap Growth Portfolio -- Long-term growth of capital. The
Portfolio pursues this objective by investing primarily in common stocks and
other equity-type securities issued by smaller-sized companies with strong
growth potential.

     Alliance Conservative Investors Portfolio -- High total return without, in
the investment adviser's opinion, undue risk to principal. The Portfolio
pursues this objective by investing in a diversified mix of publicly traded
equity and debt securities.

     Alliance Balanced Portfolio -- High return through both appreciation of
capital and current income. The Portfolio pursues this objective by investing
in a diversified portfolio of publicly traded equity and debt securities and
short-term money market instruments.

     Alliance Growth Investors Portfolio -- Highest total return consistent
with the investment adviser's determination of reasonable risk. The Portfolio
pursues this objective by investing in a diversified mix of publicly traded
equity and fixed income securities, including at times common stocks issued by
intermediate and small-sized companies and at times fixed income securities
that are medium and lower quality debt securities known as "junk bonds."

     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. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

     The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Trust:

     Stocks listed on national securities exchanges and certain
over-the-counter issues traded on the NASDAQ national market system are valued
at the last sale price or, if there is no sale, at the latest available bid
price. Other unlisted stocks are valued at their last sale price or, if no
reported sale during the day, at a bid price estimated by a broker.

     Convertible preferred stocks listed on national securities exchanges are
valued as of their last sale price or, if there is no sale, at the latest
available bid price.

     Convertible bonds and unlisted convertible preferred stocks are valued at
bid prices obtained from one or more of the major dealers in such securities.
Where there is a discrepancy between dealers, values may be adjusted based on
recent premium spreads to the underlying common stocks.

     Mortgage backed and asset backed securities are valued at prices obtained
from a bond pricing service where available, or at a bid price obtained from
one or more of the major dealers in such securities. If a quoted price is
unavailable, an equivalent yield or yield spread quotes will be obtained from a
broker and converted to a price.

     Purchased options, including options on futures, are valued at their last
bid price. Written options are valued at their last asked price.
Over-the-counter written options are valued using prices provided by brokers.

     Long-term corporate bonds may be valued on the basis of prices provided by
a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect the fair market
value of such securities. The prices provided by a pricing service take into
account many factors, including institutional size, trading in similar groups
of securities and any developments related to specific securities; however,
when such prices are not available, such bonds are valued at a bid price
estimated by a broker.

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1998
 
     U.S. Treasury securities and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities are valued at representative
quoted prices.

     Foreign securities not traded directly, or in American Depository Receipt
(ADR) or similar form in the United States, are valued at representative quoted
prices in the currency of the country of origin.

     Except for the Alliance Money Market Portfolio, short-term debt securities
which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. Short-term debt securities which mature in more than
60 days are valued at representative quoted prices. Short-term debt securities
held in the Alliance Money Market Portfolio are valued at representative quoted
prices regardless of the length of maturity.

     Futures and forward contracts are valued at their last sale price or, if
there is no sale, at the latest available bid price.

     Other securities, including restricted securities, and assets for which
market quotations are not readily available or for which valuation cannot be
provided, are valued at "fair value" as determined in good faith by the
Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees.

     Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date net of brokerage
fees, commissions, and transfer fees.

     Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of
discount on securities using the effective yield method) is accrued daily.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are computed on the
basis of the identified cost of the related investments sold.

     All income earned and expenses incurred by the Portfolios are borne on a
pro-rata basis by each outstanding class of shares, based on the proportionate
interest in each Portfolio represented by the net assets of such class.
Expenses of the Trust are charged to each Portfolio in proportion to net
assets.

     Under a deferred compensation plan, the Trust owes several Trustees the
payment of all or part of the fees payable for their services. Such amounts are
reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

     The Board of Trustees has approved the lending of portfolio securities
through its custodian bank, Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase"), acting as lending
agent, to certain broker-dealers in exchange for negotiated lenders' fees. Any
such loan of portfolio securities will be continuously secured by collateral at
least equal to the value of the securities loaned. All loans will be
collateralized in the form of cash or U.S. Government securities. Chase invests
the cash collateral in short-term investments and retains a portion of the
interest earned. Chase will indemnify the Portfolios from any loss resulting
from a borrower's failure to return a loaned security when due. The following
table shows the value of securities loaned and collateral received at December
31, 1998, and the security loan fees received, net of rebates paid, for the
year ended December 31, 1998. Such net fees are included in interest income in
the accompanying Statements of Operations.

THE HUDSON RIVER TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
December 31, 1998
 
     The books and records of the Trust are kept in U.S. dollars. Foreign
currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the bid price last quoted
by a composite list of major U.S. banks at the following dates:

     (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and
liabilities--at the valuation date.

     (ii) purchase and sales of investment securities, income and expenses--at
the date of such transactions.

     The Portfolios do 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.

     Net currency gains or losses realized and unrealized as a result of
differences between interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded
on the Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amount actually
received or paid are presented under foreign currency transactions in the
realized and unrealized gains and losses section of the Statements of
Operations.

     The Trust intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains
to shareholders of each Portfolio. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision
is required. Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed
quarterly; distributions from net realized short-term and long-term capital
gains are declared and distributed at least annually to the shareholders of the
Portfolios to which such gains are attributable. All dividends and
distributions are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the
related Portfolios. All dividends and distributions are distributed on a tax
basis and as such, the amounts may differ from financial statement investment
income and realized capital gains.

     Options Written:

     All Portfolios (except for the Alliance Money Market and Alliance Equity
Index Portfolios) may write (sell) covered options as a hedge to provide
protection against adverse movements in the price of securities in the
portfolio or to enhance investment performance. When a Portfolio writes an
option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as
a liability and is subsequently adjusted on a daily basis to the current market
price of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which
expire unexercised are realized as gains on the expiration date. In writing
options, a Portfolio must assume that the option may be exercised at any time
prior to the expiration of its obligation as a writer, and that in such
circumstances the net proceeds of the sale or cost of purchase of the
underlying securities pursuant to the call or put option may be substantially
below or above the prevailing market price. A Portfolio also has the additional
risk of not being able to enter into a closing purchase transaction if a liquid
secondary market does not exist and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in
the price of the financial instruments underlying the options.

     Futures and Forward Contracts:

     Futures and forward contracts are agreements to buy or sell a security for
a set price in the future. A Portfolio may buy or sell futures and forward
contracts for the purpose of protecting its portfolio securities against future
changes in interest rates which might adversely affect the value of the
Portfolio's securities or the price of securities that it intends to purchase
at a later date. Initial margin deposits are made upon entering into futures
contracts and can be either in cash or U.S. Treasury securities. During the
period the futures and forward contracts are open, changes in the market price
of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by
"marking-to-market" at the end of each trading day. Variation margin payments
on futures contracts are received or made, depending upon whether unrealized
gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds
from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Portfolio's basis in the
contract. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not
achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures and forward contracts and may
incur a loss. The use of futures and forward contracts transactions involves
the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures and
forward contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

     Limitations on Market and Credit Risk:

     Written options, futures and forward contracts involve elements of both
market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of
Assets and Liabilities. The risk involved in writing an option on a security is
that, if the option is exercised, the underlying security is then purchased or
sold by the Portfolio at the contract price, which could be disadvantageous
relative to the market price. The contract amounts of these futures and forward
contracts reflect the extent of the Portfolio's exposure to off-balance sheet
risk. The Portfolio bears the market risk which arises from any changes in
security values. The credit risk for futures contracts is limited to failure to
trade or exercise the futures contracts purchased through the exchange or board
of trade which acts as the counterparty to the Portfolio's futures
transactions. Forward contracts are entered into directly with the counterparty
and not through an exchange and can be terminated only by agreement of both
parties to the contract. There is no daily margin settlement and the Portfolio
is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparty.

     Statement of Position 93-2:

Position 93-2 Determination, Disclosure and Financial Statement Presentation of
Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment

*     On assets in excess of $10 billion, the management fee for the Alliance
      Common Stock Portfolio is reduced to 0.335% of average daily net assets.


3. Distribution Plan

     Each Portfolio's Distribution Plan permits the Portfolio to pay a
distribution fee of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to
its Class IB shares. The Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, has entered into
distribution agreements ("the Class IB Distribution Agreements") pursuant to
the Distribution Plans with each of Equitable Distributors, Inc. ("EDI") and EQ
Financial Consultants, Inc. ("EQ Financial") (each a "Class IB Distributor").
Both EDI and EQ Financial are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Equitable. The Class IB Distribution Agreements provide that each Class IB
Distributor receives payments from each Portfolio (except the Alliance Small
Cap Growth Portfolio) at a rate equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets
of such Portfolio attributable to Class IB shares for which such Class IB
Distributor provides services and/or assumes expenses under the Distribution
Plan. With respect to the Alliance Small Cap Growth Portfolio, this amount
shall not exceed the lesser of (a) 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the
Portfolio attributable to Class IB shares for which each Class IB Distributor
provides services and/or assumes expenses under the Distribution Plan and (b)
an amount that, when added to certain other expenses of the Class IB shares,
would result in a ratio of expenses to average daily net assets attributable to
Class IB shares for which such Class IB Distributor provides services and/or
assumes expenses under the Distribution Plan equaling 1.20%.

     The Distribution Plans provide that EDI and EQ Financial will use the
payments received under the Class IB Distribution Agreements for services
rendered (and expenses borne) in connection with activities primarily intended
to result in the sale of the Trust's Class IB shares. Since the Class IB
Distributor's compensation is not directly tied to their expenses, the amount
of compensation received under the Class IB Distribution Agreements during any
year may be more or less than actual expenses. For this reason, the
Distribution Plans are characterized by the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission as being of the "compensation" variety.

     The Portfolios (except for the Alliance Money Market, Alliance
Intermediate Government Securities and Alliance Equity Index Portfolios) may
enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge their exposure to
changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign securities
holdings. A forward contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss
arising from the difference between the original contracts and the closing of
such contracts is included in realized gains or losses from foreign currency
transactions. At December 31, 1998, the Alliance Global, Alliance
International, Alliance Conservative Investors, Alliance Balanced and Alliance
Growth Investors Portfolios had outstanding forward currency contracts to
buy/sell foreign currencies as follows:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS







To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The Hudson River Trust


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alliance Money
Market Portfolio, Alliance Intermediate Government Securities Portfolio,
Alliance Quality Bond Portfolio, Alliance High Yield Portfolio, Alliance Growth
and Income Portfolio, Alliance Equity Index Portfolio, Alliance Common Stock
Portfolio, Alliance Global Portfolio, Alliance International Portfolio,
Alliance Aggressive Stock Portfolio, Alliance Small Cap Growth Portfolio,
Alliance Conservative Investors Portfolio, Alliance Balanced Portfolio and
Alliance Growth Investors Portfolio (constituting the fourteen portfolios of
The Hudson River Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at December 31,
1998, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the
changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of
the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at December 31, 1998 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
