 Economic Overview: Mid-Year Review 1999
 John Hancock Economic Research

1999 has been characterized so far by strong growth accompanied by rising
apprehension concerning inflation. Continued strong domestic growth, an
unexpected surge in oil prices, improving conditions in Asia, and perceptions
of an over-accommodating Fed have raised the specter of an imminent jump in
inflation. The problem, if it is one, is that it's only a fear that has not
shown up in the data.

What has accounted for this strange course of events? At the core is the
uneasiness that the economy cannot continue to grow at around 4% without
kindling inflation. However, the economy has been doing this for three years
running, and during that time inflation has declined.

This extraordinary record of low inflation and high growth has been achieved
principally because of strong gains in productivity and an intensified
competitive business environment. At the root of these trends is the
accelerating expansion of the information technology revolution throughout the
US economy.

Firms have been able to realize productivity gains unseen in several decades,
just when they were faced with intensified competition and labor scarcity.
Computer and communications technologies have lowered the barriers to entry
into many businesses as well as created many new businesses, all of which has
intensified the competitive environment.

The $64,000 question is whether the economy can keep up this pace of
productivity growth. The answer boils down to a matter of faith, but if the
stock market is any indication, many bets have been placed on a bright future
of the "new" economy.

As in the past few years, consumption and investment have been driving the
economy in 1999. Consumers are spending more than they earn, causing the
savings rate to turn negative, but that should not come as a surprise:

  .  Equity and real estate valuations have risen steadily and substantially
     over the past several years, leaving little apparent need to save.

  .  The economy continues to create new jobs at a healthy pace and the labor
     market remains tight with unemployment at 4.3% of the labor force.

  .  With wage gains outstripping inflation, consumers' purchasing power
     continues to grow.

The other pillar of economic strength, investment spending, remains healthy as
well, with firms speeding productivity enhancements as quickly as possible.
Capacity growth continues to keep pace with utilization rates, leaving few if
any capacity bottlenecks.

On the other hand, residential investment has started to falter as declining
affordability and demographics have taken their toll on the real estate market.
The best could be behind us in this sector.

The trade deficit has soared again this year as the strong domestic economy's
appetite for imports seems insatiable while weak growth overseas has stalled
exports. International trade is expected to lop as much as 2% off growth in the
first half of the year, with the drag diminishing over the rest of the year.

The surge in inflation expectations this year pushed interest rates higher. The
yield curve steepened as longer term interest rates rose steadily, with the 30
year Treasury bond briefly touching 6.25%. The rate fell below 6% toward the
end of June, but remains significantly above the rates prevailing at the
beginning of the year.

In June, the Fed responded to these fears by bumping up its target interest
rate by 25 basis points for the first time in two years, partly as an insurance
policy against the possibility of future inflation and partly in response to
the improving financial market conditions following last fall's financial
market seizure.

Looking forward, the economy faces the same challenges that it has faced all
year:

  .  Inflation could pick up through a surge in wages, declining
     productivity, a falling US dollar overseas, or an even larger oil price
     hike, or

  .  Collapsing equity prices, financial turmoil, or extensive Y2K
     disruptions could push the economy into recession, or

  .  The economy could enjoy continued heady growth with low inflation.

The one certainty is that the Fed is alert to these risks and is prepared to
act. With the economy chugging along at a healthy clip, government finances in
great shape and Chairman Greenspan at the helm of monetary policy, the chance
of something going wrong seems remote. But, something eventually will, and one
can only hope that the economy will be resilient enough and policy astute
enough to deflect the blow.

 Money Market Fund
 John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co.                     Peter Mitsopoulos
 The markets at the beginning of the year were ready to exploit the benefits
of the Fed's three rapid-fire rate reductions last year. The Fed's actions
averted what appeared to be a looming credit disaster, but also gave the
markets that rate reduction felt long overdue. Economic data, though sometimes
conflicting, gave investors the feeling that it could not get any better than
this. Then, the change of 0.7% in the April CPI took the wind out of
everyone's sails. The Fed changed its bias to monetary constraint, rates rose
in anticipation and it wasn't just a question of when the Fed would raise
rates, but how many times they would this year. The Fed delivered it widely-
expected 25 basis point increase at its June 29-30 meeting, but also changed
its bias back to neutral.
 We began the year needing to extend the maturity on the Fund after year-end
and proceeded to take on a strategy of very short maturities and longer
maturities (maximum 13 months). This, we felt, would enabled us to capitalize
on short-term interest rate swings or even a minor interest rate increase,
while still obtaining attractive longer-term investments for the portfolio.
While the rate decreases during last year were significant, we felt the risk
of an increase this year was not significant enough to keep the fund short. As
a result, the Fund's maturity increased from 48 days at year-end to 73 days by
June 30. With only one increase in rates coming on the last day of this
period, we feel our strategy has been appropriate. Post June 30 economic
conditions point to a continued low risk of inflation for the balance of the
year.
 The Fund continues to be invested predominantly in traditional commercial
paper representing about two-thirds of the fund, with bank certificates of
deposit about 19% and adjustable rate securities about 11%. We continue to
look for additional positions in both of those sectors. The Fund is
diversified among many industry sectors and companies.

                                                       Inception: May 1, 1994
 Short-Term Bond FundIndependence Investment Associates, Inc.       Jeff Saef

 During the second quarter, movements in the fixed income markets were
dominated by the increasing probability of a Federal Reserve Board tightening,
accompanied by a shift in focus at the Federal Reserve Board from inflation
vigilance to emphasis on economic growth. This shift, motivated by concerns
over sustainable growth in the context of tightening labor markets and
improving financial markets, fostered an expectation of rising interest rates.
The bond market responded with a 35 to 55 basis point increase in interest
rates across the U.S. Treasury yield curve. In the face of this meaningful
change in market conditions, liquidity languished and spread sectors widened.
Record levels of new corporate bond issuance further pressured the market,
resulting in wider spreads in the corporate bond market.
 For the quarter, short maturity corporate bonds performed in line with
similar maturity U.S. Treasury securities. After tightening the spread in
April and early May, corporate bond spreads widened in response to both higher
interest rates, wider swap spreads, and large amounts of new corporate bond
issuance. Your Fund is overweight in corporate bonds and we estimate that the
additional yield advantage from this overweight during the quarter was 40
basis points of annualized yield which translated into 10 (40 bp divided by 4)
basis points of actual excess return during the quarter. However, the small
amounts of spread widening experienced in the later portion of the quarter
helped offset the yield advantage in the Fund, resulting in a return
approximately equal to the benchmark for the quarter.

 The Fund continues to meet its investment objective: to match the performance
of the Lehman Brothers Government Corporate Index, which includes only U.S.
dollar-based, fixed-coupon debt from the U.S. Government and investment-grade
corporations. Performance net of fees for the Fund was 0.33% for June, -1.27%
for the past quarter and 3.85% from inception. Corresponding returns for the
index were 0.31%, -1.10% and 4.14%. The Fund uses a representative sample of
issues selected through proprietary quantitative techniques. Selected issues
have the best risk-adjusted expected return and, as a group, match the
characteristics of the 4,500 issues in the Index including price sensitivity,
industry, and quality exposures. An indexed Fund typically eliminates many
risks associated with active management and has lower fees and expenses.
 During the second quarter, the influence of international factors on the bond
market subsided. Investors generally perceived international financial crises
to be defused. Consequently, domestic forces drove the market. Treasury
performance was hurt by a number of factors best described as a battle between
market bears and bulls. The bears site significant new issuance in the
corporate and U.S. Agency markets, strength in the stock market and strong
economic growth. The bulls site a flight to quality stemming from continued
economic unrest in Latin and South America and low inflation. Mostly, the
bears have had the edge leaving a negative tone to the market. Even so,
investors have been quick to buy Treasury issues as yields return to
attractive levels. Each major economic release was viewed for its affect on
Federal Reserve policy. Market participant expectations were realized when the
Fed raised the Federal Funds rate by 0.25% to 5%. Expectations were exceeded
when the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee changed its interest rate bias
to neutral from one of tightening. Market opinion is split regarding the
prospects of more rate hikes by the Fed.

 Global Bond Fund (Formerly Strategic Bond Fund)
 J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.                         David Gibbon
 During the first half of the year, acceleration of global economic growth
continued. As such, global bond returns were disappointing as market
participants continued to question the sustainability of ultra-low inflation
in this environment. The Global economy, led by Asia, is gaining strength
after suffering from the crisis in 1998. In the last week of June, the Federal
Reserve responded to rising global inflationary expectations by raising the
federal funds rate 0.25%, hinting that they would not aggressively tighten
monetary policy further.
 For the six-month period ending June 30, 1999, the Fund returned 2.02% (net
of fees). In addition, the Fund's one-year return was 2.85% (net of fees). In
April, the Fund was re-balanced to reflect the change in its benchmark. This
included selling a majority of the mortgage backed-securities, U.S. corporate
bonds, all high-yield and emerging markets debt and the purchase of high-grade
government and corporate bonds denominated in foreign currencies. More
recently, our decision to shorten the Fund's duration position positively
impacted the Fund's performance as interest rates rose globally.
 We continue to believe that the recovery in the global goods sector will be
negative for bond markets. It is our view that the U.S. policy response is
unlikely to be either swift enough or firm enough to curb rising global
inflation expectations. With policy likely to remain on hold in Europe and
Japan, the outlook for global inflation rests firmly in the Fed's hands.
Within the non-government market, our focus over the next few months will be
on the reaction of companies and markets to changes in monetary policy. We
will continue to seek attractive opportunities in the non-government market to
enhance the yield of the Fund.

 Sovereign Bond FundJohn Hancock Advisers, Inc.                      James Ho
 Continued economic growth drove US bond prices lower through much of the
quarter, as the US economy remained strong and the revised estimate of first-
quarter growth failed to ease investor concerns that the economy would slow
enough to restrain inflation. In response, at quarter-end, the Fed raised the
Federal Funds rate 25 basis points to 5%. At the Federal Reserve Open Market
Committee meeting, the Fed also announced that it changed its tightening bias,
to a neutral bias.
 During the second quarter, investment grade corporate bonds underperformed
Treasuries due to slower trading volumes and a healthy new issue calendar
supply ($84.3 billion). However, during the first half of 1999, most spread
products outperformed Treasuries, with Emerging Market and high yield bonds
performing best (10.22% and 2.31%, respectively).
 During the quarter, the Fund lost (1.02%), as performance was ahead of the
Lehman Government/Corporate Index at (1.10%). Year-to-date the Fund's return
of (1.46%) outperformed the Index return of (2.27%) by 81 basis points. Given
that Treasuries outperformed most spread products during the quarter, our
underweight position in this sector relative to the benchmark (24.5% versus
57.1%) detracted from performance results. Correspondingly, as US investment
grade corporate bonds underperformed Treasuries, our heavier exposure to
corporate bonds (49.3% versus 27.5%) also detracted from performance.
 If the US economy does not start to exhibit signs of a slowdown, we may see
the Fed tighten again at the August 24 Federal Reserve Open Market Committee
meeting. However, we remain optimistic regarding the near-term outlook for the
bond market, and spread sectors in particular, as investors' fears have been
temporarily alleviated by the Fed's recent actions. We will continue to
purchase the upper tier quality of the high yield sector. While the emerging
markets reported exceptional performance year-to-date, limited liquidity and
continued volatility keep us from committing additional funds to this market
sector.

                                                       Inception: May 1, 1998
 High Yield Bond Fund
 Wellington Management Company, LLP                     Crawford/Smith/McEvoy

 For the second quarter, the Fund had a return of (-0.72%) compared to a 0.3%
return of the Lehman High Yield Bond Index. Since inception, the return on the
Fund has been (-0.09%) compared to the 0.28% return of the Lehman HY Index.
 In the second quarter of 1999, the return of the high yield market
outstripped those of the investment-grade market, as represented by the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Index. This time, however, the outperformance was due not
to a rally in high yield, but because of a lack of downward movement along
with Treasuries. High yield spreads tightened, but Treasury yields rose each
of the last three months.
 The Fund's average quality rating remained at B2 compared to B1 for the
Lehman HY Index. For the third consecutive quarter, the higher quality "BB"
sector underperformed the "B" sector because of the tightening of the whole
high yield market and a higher correlation to increasing US Treasury rates.
Emerging market bonds continued to bounce back in the second quarter as
default and devaluation fears eased and worldwide economies showed signs of
improvement. At June 30th, the Fund's emerging market exposure was just over
5% of total assets, consisting solely of Mexican and Argentine Corporate
bonds.
 We continue to favor companies which derive most of their revenues from
within the United States and sell a consumable product versus a capital good.
Also, given the longevity of the current U.S. economic cycle, we continue to
favor companies with an underlying secular growth trend as opposed to mature,
cyclical companies. Based on these beliefs, telecommunications continues to be
our largest industry exposure in the Fund.

                                                    Inception: March 29, 1986
 Managed Fund Independence Investment Associates, Inc.    John Forelli & Jeff
 Saef
 The overall Fund returned 4.85% in the second quarter of 1999, beating the
3.86% return of the benchmark (60% S&P 500, 40% Lehman Bros. Aggregate) by
about 1%. Most of the outperformance was attributable to strong equity returns
relative to the S&P 500 benchmark. Asset allocation remained at an approximate
60% Equity/40% Fixed Income mix throughout the quarter.
 The equity portion of the Fund returned 8.65% during the quarter, outpacing
the 7.05% return of the S&P 500 by 1.6%. Capital goods companies led your
performance with Honeywell (being bought by Allied Signal) and Tyco
International performing very well. Technology stocks also performed well with
Computer Associates, Texas Instruments and Teradyne leading the charge. In
all, our value models performed very well while growth models did not. Our
balanced approach to equity investing paid off this quarter as cheap stocks
with improving fundamentals outperformed the market. Fixed Income returned -
0.83% for the quarter, ahead of the -0.88% return of the Lehman Bros.
Aggregate Index.
 At the end of the quarter, the Federal Reserve raised rates by 25 basis
points and adopted a "neutral bias". The stock market took this as a positive,
confident that Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan will continue to control monetary
policy and guide the economy to continued growth. We continue to expect a
strong US economy with 1999 GDP growth of about 3.5% and moderate inflation
below 2%. Corporate earnings growth should accelerate in the second half of
1999 with corporate profits likely to be up in excess of 10% for the year. The
combination of strong economic growth, benign inflation, accelerating
corporate profit growth and a potential bond market rally provides a solid
foundation for continues strong performance in the US equity markets despite
lofty current valuations.

                                                    Inception: March 29, 1986
 Growth & Income Fund
 Independence Investment Associates, Inc.                     Paul F. McManus
 During the second quarter of 1999, the stock market advanced further,
bringing the year-to-date returns of the S&P 500 to over 12.38%. The market
advance broadened as smaller, medium capitalization and "value" oriented
issues were strong. Such a broad market advance benefited the Fund as it
posted a return of 8.1% vs. 7.1% for the S&P500 in the second quarter. Areas
that helped performance in the quarter were specialty retailing (Home Depot
and Lowes), Aerospace (Goodrich, Honeywell) and Household Products (Avon
Products, Colgate). Areas that did not do well were transportation (U.S.
Airways, UAL, Corp.), waste management companies (Waste Management) and
software services (JD Edwards). During the quarter we continued to execute our
long term discipline of selecting individual stocks that had attractive value
and improving fundamental trends based upon our valuation model process.
 The economy continues to grow at a healthy rate--in the 2.5-3.0% range and we
expect this to continue for the balance of 1999.
 Inflation remains low in spite of some pressures with wage inflation and
energy prices. These appear to be offset by productivity improvements do to
technology. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates 0.25% in the quarter as
a preemptive strike on any possible inflation uptick. Also, economies that
were in crisis such as Asia/Japan are slowly recovering and should resume
growth in the year 2000.
 As we look out to the balance of 1999, we expect the stock market to be in
good shape with the proviso that interest rates do not move substantially
higher and that corporate earnings grow at a healthy rate. Based upon current
data, this appears to be the likely path.
 The most attractive areas of the market appear to be Financials as the
consolidation theme still is valid, media-particularly those companies such as
CBS, Viacom and Time Warner who posses content and Technology/Telecomm which
is evolving at a very rapid pace with data communications.
 Within this environment, we believe the Fund is well structured and
appropriate risk management is in place.

 Equity Index Fund
 State Street Global Advisors                                 Management Team

 The Equity Index Fund continued its recent streak of gains in the second
quarter of 1999, gaining 7.04%. By comparison, the S&P 500 Index gained 7.05%.
The Fund has managed a double digit gain already this year, rising 12.42%. The
S&P 500 Index has gained 12.38% in the same time period. The Fund has risen
over 76% in the last 26 months.
 Smaller stocks outperformed the large capitalization names in the second
quarter, ending a long run of outperformance by the large caps. The Russell
2000 Index (a small cap index) gained 15.55% during the second quarter, while
the S&P MidCap Index gained 14.16%. For all of 1999, the S&P 500 is still the
leader, posting a gain of 12.38%, compared to the Russell 2000 gain of 9.28%
and the MidCap gain of 6.87%.
 Assets in the Equity Index Fund grew by over 18% in the second quarter. The
Fund was valued at nearly $340 million at the end of June.
 The top ten names in the S&P 500 at the end of March were, in order:
Microsoft, General Electric, IBM, Walmart, Cisco, Lucent, Intel, Exxon, AT&T,
and Merck. IBM was a big mover, going from number ten to number three. These
10 names represented 21.60% of the S&P 500 as of June 30. The top twenty-five
names accounted for nearly 39% of the S&P 500 at the end of June.
 The Equity Index Fund attempts to track the performance of The S&P 500 Index
by fully replicating the Index. The Fund attempts to match the Index holdings
and weights for each name in order to provide returns close to the Index
return.

<PAGE>

                                                       Inception: May 1, 1996
 Large-Cap Value Fund T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.          Brian C. Rogers

 For the six months ended June 30, the Fund posted a strong 12.08% return, in
line with the unmanaged S&P 500 Stock Index. The last three months were
particularly beneficial as value stocks, which make up the majority of fund
holdings, rebounded nicely.
 Companies with exposure to the cyclical nature of the economy or to
commodities suddenly sprang to life during the past six months. Stocks that
recently did well, such as Tyco International and AT&T, had been successful
for us over the last several years, and we sold either all or part of these
positions when their prices rose to less appealing levels. Among these new
investments are Lockheed Martin, Campbell, Hershey Foods, Honeywell, Fort
James, and Merck, all of which are successful enterprises that have hit what
we believe to be temporary stumbling blocks. Their share prices have plummeted
to attractive levels in our view, and their managements are working vigorously
to improve earnings performance.
 So far this year, we are pleasantly surprised by the durability of the stock
markets' strength and resilience, particularly in the face of rising interest
rates. We believe it will be difficult, but not impossible, for stocks to post
such robust returns in the second half of 1999. Given historically high stock
valuations and unrealistic investor expectations, we would not be surprised to
see a bit of turbulence ahead. Nevertheless, whatever happens over the short
term, our investment approach will remain constant. We will continue to
emphasize investments in sound companies that may be out of favor in the short
run but offer an attractive combination of good upside potential and
relatively limited downside risk.

* Total returns are for the period ended June 30, 1999. Returns represent past
performance, assume reinvestment of all distributions and are not indicative of
future performance. Investment returns and principal value of fund shares will
fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. The performance of the fund on this page is reported net of Trust
level charges (i.e. investment management fees and operating expenses). It does
not reflect expense and charges of the applicable separate accounts and variable
products, all of which vary to a considerable extent and are described in your
product prospectus.

                                                    Inception: March 29, 1986
 Large-Cap Growth Fund
 Independence Investment Associates, Inc.                         Mark Lapman
 The Large-Cap Growth Fund returned 5.89% in the second quarter, more than 2%
above the Russell 1000 Growth Index return of 3.85%. Competitive results are
very favorable as your fund comfortably exceeded the median manager for the
second quarter of 1999. The year-to-date return is a very strong 10.87%. The
market showed signs of broadening in the second quarter as value outperformed
growth as a style and small-cap outperformed large-cap. The small group of
large-cap growth companies is no longer leading the market and valuation as a
discipline has returned to favor. Our "value-oriented" models worked well this
quarter as low P/E stocks outperformed high P/E stocks. Our balanced approach
to growth investing worked well this quarter as cheaper growth stocks
outperformed by a nice margin. In particular, Tyco International and Honeywell
led strong performance in the capital goods sector while Tellabs, Computer
Associates, Lucent and Nortel led strong performance in the technology and
communications sectors. We will continue to look for strong growth companies
with reasonable valuations as we position the fund for the second half of
1999.
 At the end of the quarter, the Federal Reserve raised rates by 25 basis
points. The stock market took this interest rate increase and its accompanied
"neutral basis" as a positive, confident that the Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan
will continue to control monetary policy and guide the economy to continued
growth. We expect strong economic growth (about 3.5% GDP growth) in 1999 with
the inflation rate holding under 2%. With corporate earnings growth
accelerating (we may see a 10%+ increase in corporate profits in 1999) and a
steady economic outlook, we should continue to expect consistent returns from
the US equity market.

performance, assume reinvestment of all distributions and are not indicative of
future performance. Investment returns and principal value of fund shares will
fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. The performance of the fund on this page is reported net of Trust
level charges (i.e. investment management fees and operating expenses). It does
not reflect expense and charges of the applicable separate accounts and variable
products, all of which vary to a considerable extent and are described in your

                                                       Inception: May 1, 1996
 Mid-Cap Value Fund
 Neuberger Berman, LLC                               Kassen/Gendelman/Mullick
 We are encouraged with preliminary signs that the market has broadened and
that value investing has rebounded. The first signs of the change became
apparent in April when economies in the United States, Japan, Asia and Latin
America performed stronger than many analysts expected causing domestic
interest rates to rise. When interest rates increase, price to earnings ratios
for many highly valued growth companies contract. Traditionally, this backdrop
causes investors to reexamine more attractively valued companies: including
many of the value-oriented and economically sensitive companies in your Fund.
 For the quarter, your Fund returned 15.8% outperforming both the Russell
Midcap Value Index (11.8%) and the S&P 500 (7.05%). Year-to-date, your Fund
outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index 11.01% to 7.72%.
 Our value style of investing and your Fund's current sector allocations
benefited from a value-stock recovery. The Fund's emphasis on individual
stocks in the materials and processing (10% of the assets of June 30, 1999),
financial (27% of assets) and consumer discretionary (13% of assets) sectors
added value.
 Merger activity produced several of the best performing stocks in the
quarter. We believe merger activity serves to reinforce the attractive
valuations of many of our investments. After all, what better indication of
value is there than a corporate buyer in the same industry buying another
company! In addition to Alza, which was purchased by Abbott, Gulfstream
Aerospace announced that it would be merged into General Dynamics.
 Looking forward, we are encouraged by the apparent broadening of the market
during the second quarter, which stands in stark contrast to the remarkably
narrow markets of previous quarters. We are continuing to find fundamentally
strong companies that have good earnings and are selling at attractive
valuations. We remain optimistic that the Fund is well positioned to take
advantage of changing investor sentiment.

 Mid-Cap Growth Fund
 Janus Capital Corporation                                         James Goff

 The U.S. economy continued to show strong signs of economic growth during the
first half of the year, which prompted an uptick in interest rates and higher
volatility among equities. However, by the end of the period, the stock market
posted sizable gains, with small and mid-sized stocks leading the way.
 The Fund registered solid gains during the first half and outperformed its
benchmark, the Russell MidCap Growth Index. While our media and
telecommunications positions bolstered the Fund's returns, several
pharmaceutical holdings were a drag on returns. Among our media-related
companies, Hispanic Broadcasting and Univision posted exceptional results.
Their respective radio and television programming targets the Hispanic
audience, which is the fastest growing demographic segment in the United
States. Both companies possess a wide geographic footprint, and, thanks to
their broad geographic and demographic reach, advertisers are beginning to
realize the value of their franchises. Revenues have grown as a result.
 We added positions in Metromedia Fiber and Nextlink during the period, and
both stocks appreciated substantially. Bandwidth demand has increased
dramatically due to the Internet and the growing need for data services. To
meet these demands, Metromedia and Nextlink are building state-of-the-art
fiber-optic networks using the latest technological advancements in and around
major U.S. cities, which offer these companies significant advantages and cost
savings over the incumbent telecommunications operators.
 On the downside, Sepracor, which reformulates existing drugs to produce more
effective compounds with fewer side effects, came under pressure late in the
second quarter following Johnson & Johnson's decision to curtail research on
an improved allergy compound. While the move may produce a short-term hit to
earnings, the company has a solid pipeline of drugs in development, and we
remain optimistic about the company's prospects.
 Looking ahead, despite continued economic growth and increased volatility, we
remain optimistic because the Fund consists of what we believe are "all-
weather" companies with dominant business models and dynamic earnings growth
potential.

 Real Estate Equity Fund
 Independence Investment Associates, Inc.                 D. Avery/D. Canavan

 The Real Estate Equity Fund performed well in the second-quarter with a total
return of 12.3%. This compared favorably to the fund's benchmark return of
10.6%. Cyclical stocks and yield stocks also performed well. For example, the
Russell 2000 representing a broad market advanced 15% while the Utility Index,
representing a yield component added 10.6%. The S&P 500, that has been
dominated by a narrow group of stocks, was up only 6.7%. Market volatility in
the quarter steered investors to value stocks and yield stocks. REITs satisfy
both criteria and therefore participated in the market broadening. The best
performing property sector in the quarter was the Apartment Sector while
Regional Malls had the lowest returns during the period. The Fund is
overweight in apartments and underweight in regional malls so sector selection
contributed to relative performance. While the major positions in Apartment
REITs aided performance in the quarter the four best performers were Office
REITs including Prentiss Properties, Brandywine Realty, Liberty Property, and
Kilroy Realty. On the bottom of the performance ranking were the two regional
mall REITs, Simon Property Group and JP Realty and the fund's hotel holding,
Felcor Realty.
 The fine performance of REITs in the quarter brought valuation levels back to
a reasonable range. The supply demand equation for real estate is close to
equilibrium. The near term earnings outlook on average for the REIT Group is
in the high single digit range. Adding that to the current 6.7% yield
indicates total return potential in the 12-14% range. This could be attractive
in a volatile market where investors seek safety. REITs have a low correlation
with large capitalization growth and technology stocks. The Real Estate Equity
Fund continues to have a place in a portfolio seeking diversification and risk

* Total returns are for the period ended June 30, 1999. Returns represent past
performance, assume reinvestment of all distributions and are not indicative of
future performance. Investment returns and principal value of fund shares will
fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original costs. Sector investing entails special risks as discussed in the
prospectus. The performance of the fund on this page is reported net of Trust
level charges (i.e. investment management fees and operating expenses). It does
not reflect expense and charges of the applicable separate accounts and variable

                                                       Inception: May 1, 1998
 Small/Mid-Cap CORE Fund
 Goldman Sachs Asset Management                            Jones/Clark/Pinter

 For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Small/Mid Cap CORE Fund returned
16.23%, slightly underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index (the
"Index"), which returned 16.40%. Since inception (May 1, 1998), the Fund
returned -1.63%, underperforming the Index, which returned 0.49%. The primary
reasons for the Fund's performance stem from its smaller market capitalization
bias, its value-oriented methodology and stock selection.
 In the second quarter, value-oriented and small capitalization stocks staged
a comeback, and claimed market leadership, a marked change compared to first
quarter 1999 and from 1998. The Index rose 16.2% during the second quarter,
whereas the Russell 1000 Index rose only 7.1%. In another turnaround, the
large growth versus value disparity also reversed course. However, by the end
of the quarter, the market reasserted its preference for large-cap growth
stocks. The shifting back and forth between size and style categories meant
that volatility in the market remained quite high during the quarter.
 We prefer stocks with attractive valuations, lower-than-average risk, good
momentum and favorable analyst opinions. Over the long-term, these factors
have historically led to excess returns, although they often do not produce
positive results simultaneously. During the second quarter, our concentration
on stocks with attractive valuations and favorable research analyst opinions
contributed positively to returns. However, with the rapid turnabout in market
leadership, stock with good momentum and lower than average risk fared poorly,
penalizing overall return.
 We intend to maintain our disciplined, long-term approach to equity
investing, and, through our combined qualitative and quantitative stock
selection strategy, will seek to generate solid long-term returns for our
clients.

                                                     Inception: May 1, 1994
 Small/Mid-Cap Growth Fund (Formerly Diversified Mid-Cap Growth)
 Wellington Management Company, LLP                       Frank V. Wisneski

 We are very optimistic about the small- and mid-cap sectors of the market. The
US economy continues to grow at a healthy clip while inflation remains benign,
suggesting interest rates are unlikely to increase significantly. With
investors feeling more confident, a broadening of investments into under-valued
sectors appears to be occurring. During the second quarter, the mega-cap stocks
which had fueled the strong market advance since last year, began to lag. The
market broadened and investors began to purchase smaller and mid-cap companies.
We expect this renewed interest in smaller stocks to continue. For the 6-month
period ended June 30, 1999, the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund has returned 10.33%
trailing the 16.99% return of the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index.
 Since we assumed management of the Fund on May 1, 1999, we have markedly
repositioned the Fund. The average market capitalization of the Fund, at $1.733
billion is less than half what it was in May. Further, we have slashed the
number of holdings from over 125 to 59 to focus on industry niches and
companies where we have identified potential for growth such as the Computer
Software and Services business. While elements of our strategy--owning only
those companies which have been profitable for at least 3 years and our
generally smaller average capitalization bias--have not played to the market's
strength short-term, we are confident that our approach will produce solid
long-term returns.
 Some of the Fund's recent stock successes include Whole Foods Market which has
gotten its store costs in line and reported better-than-expected earnings. The
recall problems at Henry Schein were resolved and quarterly earnings were above
consensus; the stock, which had hit a panic low of $20 in mid-April, closed out
the quarter near $32. New additions to the portfolio include Waters
Corporation, a leader in the analytical instrumentation techniques for life
science research; Hanover Compressor, a play on natural gas compression
services; and National Commerce Bancorporation, a high quality bank in the
Southern US whose supermarket branch niche business model has consistently
produced 20% earnings growth.

future performance. Investment returns and principal value of fund shares will
fluctuate that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. Sector investing entail special risks as discussed in the

 Small-Cap Value Fund
 INVESCO Management & Research                                   Bob Slotpole

 The stock market's eight-year advance continued in the 2nd quarter, but the
tone was different. The advance included a much broader group of stocks than
the narrow list of technology and huge market cap stocks that powered the
market since early 1998. Small caps outperformed large for the first time in
the last seven quarters, with the Russell 2000 Index achieving a 15.6% return
versus 6.9% for the S&P 500.
 Value indices outperformed growth in the 2nd quarter, although the difference
among small caps was not as pronounced as among larger stocks. This
outperformance was primarily the result of strong sector performance by
cyclicals and energy. Exposure to traditional valuation measures such as low
price/earnings and price/book were only of minor benefit.
 The Small-Cap Value Fund returned 15.3% in the 2nd quarter versus 15.6% for
the Russell 2000 benchmark. The Fund's strong performance in June was offset by
a weak return in April, which was largely attributable to low Internet
exposure. Until recently, these stocks have dominated the Russell 2000 Index,
with Internet-related companies making up 7 of the top 10 performers in the
period from January to April. Since May, however, the top performers have been
much more evenly distributed across a variety of sectors. We expect our stock
selection model to perform better as the small cap market continues to broaden
out.
 INVESCO's strategy in managing the Small-Cap Value Fund is to add value
through stock selection, while limiting exposure to other types of risk, such
as market risk (beta) and sector and industry exposures. Due to the market's
recent unusually high volatility, we have increased the Fund's holdings to the
upper end of our normal range. As the market broadens further and volatility
declines, we will consider moving to a somewhat more concentrated fund.

 Small-Cap Growth Fund
 John Hancock Advisers, Inc.                                       Bernice Behar
 For the six month period ending June 30, 1999, the Fund gained 14.49% and the
Russell 2000 Growth returned 12.82%. The first half of the year was marked by
two distinct periods. Growth stocks, fueled by modest economic growth, low
interest rates, and steady earnings, led the first three months. During the
second quarter, the economy accelerated causing inflationary concerns and a
rate hike by the Fed. This lent support to more economically-sensitive stocks.
 Our holdings in the Communication Services industry produced consistently
high returns during both periods. Recent changes to this sector resulting from
the Telecommunications Act of 1996 have created many opportunities. This
sector, formerly dominated by large, slower growing companies, now contains
many smaller innovative companies. We have successfully focused our attention
on these securities.
 Our performance in the Technology sector mirrored that of the overall market.
As growth stocks dominated the first quarter, our Technology holdings produced
impressive results. In April, growth stocks declined significantly when
interest rates increased and the economy surged. Although we began reducing
our exposure to the Internet in early April, the group's sharp declines
negatively impacted performance. Fortunately, our semiconductor holdings held
their own during the sell-off and rallied at the end of the second quarter.
Overall the sector made a modest contribution to performance for the first
half of the year.
 We maintained our overweight to the consumer segment of the market with mixed
results. Favorable economic factors continue to create a positive environment
for the consumer. However, segments of this market underperformed the broad
small cap market. Our more defensive retail holdings Wild Oats and Applebee's
have performed well. Retail apparel companies Bebe, Wet Seal, the Buckle
produced negative results. Although the latter group underperformed, its
longer-term outlook remains positive. We expect to maintain our exposure.

 During the first half of 1999, the Fund returned 8.82%, outperforming its
benchmark, the MSCI World Index, which returned 8.69%. For the twelve months
ended June 30, 1999, the Fund returned 8.28%, underperforming the MSCI World
Index, which returned 16.08%
 Developing themes that helped performance include the Theme, The Ultimate
Subcontractor and Inevitability Arrives. Themes that hurt performance included
a Mature theme or First World Savings, while being underweighted in Emerging
Markets also detracted from performance.
 From June through December of 1998, the global stock market experienced a
large collapse in confidence which had its roots in emerging markets,
particularly in Asia, to an astonishing recovery in the fourth quarter. In
many cases surpassing their previous highs for the year as fears of the end of
the bull market appeared to have been forgotten.
 In January, the bond markets took Brazil's currency devaluation in stride as
fixed income security credit spreads declined slowly during the first quarter.
During the first five weeks of the second quarter, cyclical stocks appreciated
dramatically based on the perception of renewed global growth and fatigue with
the highly-valued large-cap growth stocks. For the second quarter, the DJIA
gained over 12%, and the MSCI Emerging Markets (US$) over 26%. After the
announcement of April U.S. price data, there was more restrained consideration
of the implications for U.S. interest rates as investors oscillated between
growth and cyclical stocks.
 Going forward, the evidence of global growth is helping us get a better
sighting, but we are still face volatile financial markets. However, our
investment thinking is little changed--to achieve balanced exposure to the
processes of change by focussing both on those companies that can enable,
adopt and adapt to the internet world, and those companies in traditional
industries that can adapt successfully to the difficult business environment.

*    Total returns are for the period ended June 30, 1999. Returns represent
     past performance, assume reinvestment of all distributions and are not
     indicative of future performance. Investment returns and principal value of
     fund shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
     or less than their original cost. International investing entails special
     risks as outlined in the prospectus. The performance of the fund on this
     page is reported net of Trust level charges (i.e. investment management
     fees and operating expenses). It does not reflect expense and charges of
     the applicable separate accounts and variable products, all of which vary
     to a considerable extent and are described in your product prospectus.

 International Balanced Fund
 Brinson Partners, Inc.                                       Management Team

 The International Balanced Fund returned (3.97%) year-to-date, which lagged
the Fund's benchmark return of (0.48%). Over a one-year period ended June 30th
the Fund has returned 4.18%, versus the benchmark return of 7.00%.
 The market allocation decision to underweight non-U.S. equities and bond
market allocation decisions, such as the underweight to Japan, hindered results
for the first six months of the year. Security selection also hurt performance
over this period, in large part due to stock selection in Japan which
significantly underweights the financial sector. However, for the one-year
period ending June 30th, market allocation decisions have had a neutral impact,
while security selection within European equity markets detracted from
performance. Currency strategies added to the Fund's year-to-date return
primarily due to the overweight of the New Zealand dollar. For the one-year
period, currency strategies have slightly detracted from performance.
 For the six months ending June 30th, non-U.S. equity markets provided a 14.26%
dollar hedged return, with considerably mixed results across markets. Non-U.S.
bond markets provided a 1.20% dollar hedged return over this same period, as
bond yields rose sharply in most of the major developed markets. The
performance differential between non-U.S. equity and non-U.S. bond results is
substantially less over the past one-year period; non-U.S. equity markets have
provided a 9.72% return versus the 7.05% from non-U.S. bond markets, in dollar
hedged terms. This contrast in performance period results reflects the
significant increase in market volatility.
 Within the International Balanced Fund, we continue to emphasize non-U.S. bond
markets. Widespread concerns about the sustainability of current low inflation
rates have placed upward pressure on global bond yields. However, fixed income
investments should profit from weaker equity markets and ensuing expectations
of weakening economic activity.

                                                     Inception: May 2, 1988

 The International Equity Index Fund returned 3.89% for the second quarter of
1999 versus the MSCI EAFE--GDP Index return of 3.52%. Year-to-date, the Fund's
return of 5.87% has tracked the GDP Index return of 5.81% quite closely.
 Positive tracking this quarter and year-to-date has come largely from the
Malaysian securities the Fund holds. At the end of September 1998 the Malaysian
government imposed currency controls and Morgan Stanley subsequently removed
Malaysia from the Index. The Fund continued to hold its Malaysian equities, as
selling was not a viable option. During the recent quarter, these Malaysian
holdings increased 74%, outpacing the Index by approximately 71%. Though the
Fund's weight in Malaysia totaled less than 1%, the dramatic increase in these
non-index holdings added about 40 basis points of return.
 European equity markets delivered flat returns, on average, this quarter.
Measured in U.S. dollars, eight of fifteen markets had positive returns; seven
produced negative numbers. Sweden's 13.4% return led all European markets and
was the only double-digit performer. On the negative side, Ireland fell 11.1%.
In general slow economic growth across Europe dampened investor enthusiasm for
equities.
 Pacific region equity markets, on the other hand, performed reasonably well as
a group this quarter as the recovery from the financial crisis in Southeast
Asia continued. Singapore rose 34.0%, Hong Kong increased 23.3 and Japan rose
7.6%. The other five Pacific region equity markets also performed well,
particularly Australia and New Zealand, both up over 7%. Singapore and Hong
Kong each rose about 6%.
 A strong U.S. dollar detracted from international stock market returns across
the globe. The Euro, now the currency of ten of the European countries owned by
the Fund and representing over 40% of Fund assets, continued to fall versus the
U.S. dollar. It declined 4.5% this part quarter. Currency weakness in the
Pacific region also reduced returns to a U.S. based investor. In total,
currency returns cost the Fund in excess of 3% this quarter.

 Inc.                                                             Martin Wade
 International stock markets strengthened against a weak currency backdrop in
the second quarter, pushing the MSCI EAFE benchmark up 3% in US$ terms. The
Fund outperformed the benchmark during the quarter with country allocation and
stock selection both small positives.
 Country allocation relative to the benchmark was positive largely because
value added in Latin America offset the negative performance in Japan. Latin
American markets, where we are overweight, performed well. The Mexican economy
remained robust relative to its region and Brazil benefited from a stable
currency and falling interest rates. Underweighting Japan, which showed some
signs of economic recovery during the quarter, hurt performance. Within Europe
and Southeast Asia, smaller negatives and positives balanced each other. Stock
selection was a small positive as strong stock selection in Japan, Switzerland
and France, offset weaker performance in the UK and Sweden.
 At the end of June, Europe accounted for just under 70% of the fund,
including almost 20% in the UK. We were slightly overweight the index on the
Continent, and underweight the UK. Japan was about 18% of the fund, below the
benchmark. Approximately 7% was invested elsewhere in the Pacific, mostly in
Hong Kong and Australia, above the index's Pacific ex-Japan position. Latin
America represented about 4% of the Fund.
 At the end of the second quarter we see international economies and markets
poised for further improvement. Although we anticipate stronger international
growth, abundant capacity outside the US should keep inflation muted. In
contrast, we believe that US growth will moderate under the influence of
higher interest rates. The recovering international regions should be able to
withstand a decline in US demand, and we believe international markets can
continue to rise at a reasonable pace in the coming quarters.

                                                       Inception: May 1, 1998
 Emerging Markets Equity Fund
 Montgomery Asset Management, LLC                    J. Jimenez & B. Sudweeks

 With the exception of a handful of small cap markets, all emerging markets
appreciated during the quarter, helped by a rebound in commodity prices and a
generally improving economic outlook. In contrast to the first quarter, when
Latin America outperformed all other regions, Pacific Rim markets enjoyed the
greatest appreciation, as investors became convinced that the region was
recovering. Double and even triple digit gains in Asian Indices ensured a
strong second quarter performance for the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index,
which returned 24.4% versus 12.4% for the previous quarter.
 The Fund enjoyed terrific absolute results for the quarter of 21.7%, versus a
24.4% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index. These returns mask an
encouraging improvement in the Fund's relative returns as the quarter
progressed. We attribute this trend to good country allocation decisions and
stock selection, as well as benefits accruing from recent enhancements in the
management of the Fund, namely, a move toward centralized portfolio
construction and trade implementation, and improved risk management measures.
 In terms of the Fund positioning, two factors helped performance during the
quarter: the Fund's country allocations and its overweight position in the
outperforming commodities sector. During the quarter the Fund was overweight
in Asia, specifically the strong South Korean and Thai markets. Stock
selections that made a particularly strong contribution to performance
included Hyundai Motors in Korea. Hyundai was added to the Fund mid-quarter
and gained 50% over a six-week period. In Thailand, our positions in Banking
and Finance helped to boost returns. The Fund was underweight in Taiwan, but
overweight in the country's robust technology sector.
 In total, 57% of the fund was invested in countries likely to benefit from
the improvement in commodity prices by the end of the quarter. Strong
performers included South Africa's Anglo American Platinum, Posco Steel in
Korea, and Mexican low cost copper producer Groupo Mexico.

*    Total returns are for the period ended June 30, 1999. Returns represent
     past performance, assume reinvestment of all distributions and are not
     indicative of future performance. Investment returns and principal value of
     fund shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
     or less than their original cost. International investing entails special
     risks as outlined in the prospectus. The performance of the fund on this
     page is reported net of Trust level charges (i.e. investment management
     fees and operating expenses). It does not reflect expense and charges of
     the applicable separate accounts and variable products, all of which vary
     to a considerable extent and are described in your product prospectus.

     reliable sources, data completeness and accuracy cannot be guaranteed.


**   Year-to-date total returns are not annualized.

(1)  Returns reflect extra-ordinary capital contribution of $445,000 in June
     1999.

NOTE A--ORGANIZATION

  The John Hancock Variable Series Trust I (the "Fund") is a diversified
open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business
trust.  The Fund consists of twenty-three portfolios: Large Cap Growth,
Sovereign Bond, Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity Index, Global
Equity, Small Cap Growth, International Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap
Value, Money Market, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth (formerly, Diversified
Mid Cap Growth), Bond Index, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Real Estate Equity, Growth &
Income, Managed, Short-Term Bond, Small Cap Value, International Opportunities,
Equity Index, High Yield Bond and Global Bond (formerly, Strategic Bond).  The
Fund may add or delete portfolios in the future to accommodate various
investment objectives.  The Fund has issued shares of beneficial interest
exclusively to John Hancock Variable Life Account U ("JHVLAU"), John Hancock
Variable Life Account V ("JHVLAV"), John Hancock Variable Life Account S
("JHVLAS"), and John Hancock Variable Annuity Account I ("JHVAAI") to fund
policies and contracts issued by the John Hancock Variable Life Insurance
Company ("JHVLICO"), and to John Hancock Variable Annuity Account U ("JHVAAU"),
John Hancock Variable Annuity Account V ("JHVAAV"), John Hancock Mutual Variable
Life Insurance Account UV ("JHMVLAUV"), John Hancock Variable Annuity Account H
("JHVAAH"), and John Hancock Variable Annuity Account JF ("JHVAAJF") to fund
contracts and policies issued by John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company
("John Hancock").

NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Valuation of Investments: For the Large Cap Growth, Emerging Markets Equity,
Small Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap
Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Real Estate Equity, Growth & Income, Managed, Small
Cap Value, and Equity Index Portfolios: Common stocks and other such securities
traded on national exchanges are normally valued on the basis of closing prices.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and securities with no sales on
the day of valuation are normally valued at their last available bid price.

  For the Sovereign Bond, Bond Index, Managed, Short-Term Bond, High Yield Bond
and Global Bond Portfolios: Debt investment securities having a primary market
over-the-counter are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing
service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading units
of debt securities, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices.

  For the Money Market Portfolio: The Board of Trustees has determined that the
appropriate method for valuing Portfolio securities is amortized cost, so long
as the average weighted maturity of money market instruments comprising the
Portfolio does not exceed 90 days.  Accordingly, Portfolio securities are valued
at amortized cost which approximates market value.  The amortized cost method
involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the
principal amount due at maturity and the cost of the security to the Portfolio.

  For each of the Portfolios, short-term investments, with a maturity not to
exceed 60 days, are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

  For the International Portfolios: Investments in securities traded on national
securities exchanges in the United States or on equivalent foreign exchanges are
normally valued at the last quoted sales price on such exchanges as of the close
of business on the date of which assets are valued.  Securities traded in the
over-the-counter market and securities traded with no sales on the day of
valuation are normally valued at their last available bid price.  All Portfolio
securities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies have been
translated into U.S. Dollars as described in "Currency Translation."

  Investment securities for which no current market quotations are readily
available, including certain foreign securities, when held by the Portfolios,
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.

NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

  Investment security transactions are recorded on the date of purchase or sale.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividend income for the Large Cap Growth,
Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity Index, Global Equity,
International Balanced, Large Cap Value, Growth & Income, Managed, Small Cap
Value, International Opportunities and Equity Index Portfolios are shown net of
foreign taxes withheld of $2, $10, $276, $10, $25, $13, $262, $228, $1, $102,
and $30 respectively. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are
determined on the basis of identified cost.

  Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolios of the Fund may enter into repurchase
agreements which are contracts under which a Portfolio would acquire a security
for a relatively short period (usually not more than 7 days) subject to the
obligation of the seller to repurchase and the Portfolio to resell such security
at a fixed time and price (representing the Portfolio's cost plus interest).  A
Portfolio will enter into repurchase agreements only with member banks of the
Federal Reserve System and with "primary dealers" in United States government
securities.  The underlying securities, which represent the collateral of the
agreement, must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase
agreement is fully collateralized at all times.  A Portfolio will not invest
more than 10% of its net assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7
days.

  Joint Repurchase Agreements: The Sovereign Bond, Small Cap Growth and
Small/Mid Cap Growth Portfolios of the Fund, along with other registered
investment companies having a management contract with John Hancock Advisers,
Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock,
may participate in a joint repurchase agreement pursuant to an exemptive order
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Aggregate cash balances are
invested in one or more repurchase agreements, whose underlying securities are
obligations of the U.S. Government and/or its agencies. The Fund's custodian
bank receives delivery of the underlying securities for the joint repurchase
agreement on the Fund's behalf.  The Sub-Adviser is responsible for ensuring
that the agreement is fully collateralized at all times.

  Joint Trading Account: Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities
and Exchange Commission, the order permits the existing Portfolios of the Fund
to pool daily uninvested cash balances, together with the balances of any future
Portfolios of the Fund, into a joint account for the purpose of investing the
cash balances in short-term repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other
short-term investments which in no event will have a maturity in excess of seven
days.  Joint Account holdings as of June 30, 1999:

  Financial Futures Contracts: The Sovereign Bond, Emerging Markets Equity,
International Equity Index, Global Equity, Small Cap Growth, International
Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Managed,
Short-Term Bond, Equity Index, High Yield Bond and Global Bond Portfolios may
buy and sell financial futures contracts to hedge against the effects of
fluctuations in interest rates and other market conditions.  At the time the
Portfolio enters into a financial futures contract, it will be required to
deposit with its custodian a specified amount of cash or U.S. government
securities, known as "initial margin." Each day, the futures contract is valued
at the official settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodities
exchange.  Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to
market," are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses.

  When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio recognizes a gain or a loss.
Risk of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may
be an illiquid market and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not
correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.  In addition,
the Portfolio could be prevented from opening or realizing the benefits of
closing out futures positions because of position limits or limits on daily
price fluctuations imposed by an exchange.  At June 30, 1999, open positions in
financial futures contracts were as follows:

  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage the
Portfolio's currency exposure.  Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire
exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the
Portfolio's investments against currency fluctuations.  Neither type of foreign
currency transaction will eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the
Portfolio's securities or prevent loss if the price of such securities should
decline.  The U.S. dollar value of a forward foreign currency contract is
determined using forward exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
 Realized gain (loss) on the purchases and sales of forward foreign currency
contracts is recognized on settlement date.

    Currency Translation: For Portfolios that trade in international securities:
all assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies
are translated into U.S. dollars based on London currency exchange quotations as
of 5:00 p.m., London time, on the date of any determination of the net asset
value of the Fund.  Unrealized exchange adjustments are included in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) of investments.  Transactions affecting statement of
operations accounts and net realized gain (loss) on investments are translated
at the rates prevailing at the dates of transactions.

  Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between trade and settlement dates of security transactions, and the
difference between the amounts of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received.

  Dividends: A dividend of its net investment income will be declared and
distributed daily by the Money Market Portfolio.  Dividends of net investment
income will be declared and distributed monthly by all other Portfolios.  Each
Portfolio will distribute all of its net realized capital gains annually, at the
end of its fiscal year.

  Federal Income Taxes: Each of the Portfolios of the Fund intends to comply
with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to shareholders.  Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
required.

  As of December 31, 1998, the Fund had approximate net tax basis capital loss
carryforwards, which may be applied against any net taxable gains, as follows:
Emerging Markets Equity had $1,051 which expires in 2006; Global Equity had $356
which expires in 2006; Small Cap Growth had $923 which expires in 2004; $964
