MARKET OVERVIEW
EXECUTIVE INVESTORS TRUST

Dear Investor:

We are pleased to present this Market Overview for the semi-annual report for
the Executive Investors Trust funds for the six month period ended June 30,
1999. The period under review was characterized by a strong U.S. economy, rising
interest rates and a climbing stock market.

THE ECONOMY
The U.S. economy, now in its ninth year of expansion, continued its remarkable
performance. Economic growth in the first quarter of 1999 was strong, with the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growing by 4.3% on an annualized basis. The
momentum continued into the second quarter, with growth of 2.3% on an annualized
basis. Although the economy continued to expand, inflation stayed under control.
As of June 30, the rate of inflation for the previous 12 months was 2% as
measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The unemployment rate remained near
its lowest level in 30 years at 4.3%. Rising personal income, high consumer
confidence, wealth from stock market gains and home price appreciation combined
to power economic growth.

THE EQUITY MARKET
During the reporting period, most sectors of the equity market posted strong
gains, driven largely by the vibrant domestic economy, healthy corporate
earnings and subsiding concerns about inflation. There was a dramatic rotation
among equity sectors during the period, as investors responded to perceived
economic changes.

As the first quarter of 1999 began, investors were concerned about a possible
slowing economy and a deteriorating corporate profit outlook for the year.
Investors gravitated toward "growth" stocks, placing their bets on promising
companies that they felt had the potential to grow at a rate faster than that of
the economy. Early in the year, high-flying Internet stocks led the equity
rally. Prominent technology companies continued to flourish as investors
theorized that they would be able to post strong earnings despite an economic
slowdown. The continued growth of Internet-related businesses helped boost the
performances of providers of telecommunications services by fueling the need for
greater bandwidth. In addition, leading hardware, software and networking
companies' strong gains were propelled by the Internet phenomenon. In general,
the returns of stocks of large capitalization companies outpaced those of medium
capitalization and small capitalization companies for the first quarter.

In the second quarter of 1999, a number of economic influences triggered a
pronounced shift in the equity environment. Economic data showed that earlier

                                                                               1

MARKET OVERVIEW (continued)
EXECUTIVE INVESTORS TRUST

fears of sluggish growth were unjustified and that the U.S. economy remained
surprisingly strong. In the international arena, economies throughout the world
were generally healthy thanks to the stabilization of many emerging markets and
central bank intervention aimed to keep interest rates and inflation low. Amid
this good news, concerns mounted that the strong economic climate would spur
inflation and raise interest rates. This boosted the stock performances of
old-line industries whose sales jump when the economy booms and inflation rises.

The stocks of once lagging sectors such as metals, energy, basic materials,
chemicals, paper and other classic cyclicals produced strong gains. The rising
interest rate environment caused investors to pull away from growth-oriented and
technology/Internet-related companies whose high price to earnings ratio made
them appear overvalued. In a stunning reversal, the stocks of small-cap
companies outpaced large- and mid-cap firms. Their gains were powered by strong
earnings reports and heavy mergers and acquisition activity, as promising small
companies were absorbed by larger firms.

THE BOND MARKET
During the first half of 1999, interest rates moved sharply higher, causing bond
prices to decline. The 30-year U.S. Treasury rate rose from 5.10% on December 31
to 5.96% on June 30. The bellwether rate reached a high of 6.16% in June. This
rising interest rate environment was driven by a number of factors, including
the improvement of economies around the globe. With foreign economies and
markets recovering from last year's financial markets crisis, the "flight to
safety" which had benefited U.S. Treasuries reversed, as investors returned to
riskier asset classes.

As well, the Federal Reserve became concerned that the continued strength of the
U.S. economy, particularly when combined with tight labor markets, would lead to
inflation. In an effort to preempt inflation, the Fed raised the Federal Funds
rate 25 basis points (.25%), to 5%, on June 30. This tightening of monetary
policy was a partial unwinding of last Fall's 75 basis point (.75%) decrease in
the Federal Funds rate. Although the Fed has currently adopted a neutral stance
toward interest rates, it remains alert to developments that may require further
rate increases.

Among bond sectors, the high yield bond market provided the highest total
returns over the past six months, as companies benefited from the strong economy
and healthy earnings. The mortgage-backed bond market was the second best
performing bond sector as higher rates substantially reduced prepayment risk.
Treasury securities and investment grade corporate bonds had the lowest total

2
<PAGE>
returns among bond sectors, in large part due to heavy issuance of U.S. agency
and corporate debt. Lastly, in June, long-term municipal bond yields rose to
their highest level in over 18 months.

LOOKING AHEAD
Going forward, we remain optimistic that the equity market could produce
positive gains for the remainder of the year. However, we are watchful that an
economic downturn could negatively affect investor sentiment. As the year
progresses, Year 2000 issues will increasingly hang over some stocks and
industries. Overall, we are encouraged by the healthy fundamentals of the
domestic economy and promising corporate earnings, which should create a
positive backdrop for the equity market.

We anticipate that the bond market will remain stable, at best, for the next
three to six months. The domestic economy remains strong, although inflation is
not yet apparent. The Fed should remain vigilant in its mission to keep
inflation under control. To this end, one or two additional interest rate hikes
over the next six months are possible. The bond markets can potentially perform
better in the next six to nine months if the economy slows, inflation remains
low and the Fed is satisfied with the economic outlook.

Thank you for your continued confidence in Executive Investors. As always, we
appreciate the opportunity to serve your investment needs.

Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EXECUTIVE INVESTORS TRUST

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Executive Investors Trust (the "Trust"), a
Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "1940 Act") as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
The Trust consists of unlimited shares of beneficial interest of the Blue Chip
Fund, the High Yield Fund and the Insured Tax Exempt Fund (each a "Fund") and
accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund. The
objective of each Fund is as follows:

BLUE CHIP FUND seeks high total investment return consistent with the
preservation of capital.

HIGH YIELD FUND primarily seeks high current income and secondarily seeks
capital appreciation.

INSURED TAX EXEMPT FUND seeks a high level of interest income that is exempt
from federal income tax and is not a tax preference item for purposes of the
Alternative Minimum Tax.

A. Security Valuation--Except as provided below, a security listed or traded on
an exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market is valued at its last sale price on the
exchange or market where the security is principally traded, and lacking any
sales, the security is valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked
prices. Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market (including
securities listed on exchanges whose primary market is believed to be OTC) are
valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices prior to the time when
assets are valued based upon quotes furnished by a market maker for such
securities. Securities may also be priced by a pricing service. The pricing
service uses quotations obtained from investment dealers or brokers, information
with respect to market transactions in comparable securities, and other
available information in determining value. The municipal bonds in which the
Insured Tax Exempt Fund invests are traded primarily in the over-the-counter
markets. Such securities are valued daily at their fair value on the basis of
valuations provided by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The
pricing services use quotations obtained from investment dealers or brokers for
particular securities being evaluated, information with respect to market
transactions in comparable securities and consider security type, rating, market
condition, yield data and other available information in determining value.
"When-issued securities" are reflected in the assets of the Fund as of the date
the securities are purchased. Short-term debt securities that mature in 60 days
or less are valued at amortized cost. Securities for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued on a consistent basis at fair value as
determined in good faith by or under the

20
<PAGE>
supervision of the Trust's officers in a manner specifically authorized by the
Board of Trustees of the Trust.

The municipal bonds held by the Insured Tax Exempt Fund are insured as to
payment of principal and interest by the issuer or under insurance policies
written by independent insurance companies. The Fund may retain any insured
municipal bond which is in default in the payment of principal or interest until
the default has been cured, or the principal and interest outstanding are paid
by an insurer or issuer of any letter of credit or other guarantee supporting
such municipal bond. In such case, it is the Fund's policy to value the
defaulted bond daily based upon the value of a comparable bond which is insured
and not in default. In selecting a comparable bond, the Fund will consider
security type, rating, market condition and yield. The Fund may invest up to 20%
of its assets in portfolio securities not covered by the insurance feature.

B. Federal Income Taxes--No provision has been made for federal income taxes on
net income or capital gains since it is the policy of the Trust to continue to
comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to make sufficient distributions of income
and capital gains (in excess of any available capital loss carryovers), to
relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. At December 31,
1998, the High Yield Fund had capital loss carryovers of $1,667,243 of which
$1,286,892 expires in 1999, $211,168 expires in 2003, $109,463 expires in 2004
and $59,720 expires in 2005.

C. Expense Allocation--Expenses directly charged or attributable to a Fund are
paid from the assets of that Fund. General expenses of the Trust are allocated
among and charged to the assets of each Fund on a fair and equitable basis,
which may be based on the relative assets of each Fund or the nature of the
services performed and relative applicability to each Fund.

D. Distributions to Shareholders--Dividends from net investment income to the
shareholders of the High Yield Fund and the Insured Tax Exempt Fund are normally
declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends from net investment income of the
Blue Chip Fund are normally declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net
realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually. Income
dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
capital loss carryforwards and post-October capital losses.

                                                                              21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
EXECUTIVE INVESTORS TRUST

E. Use of 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

F. Other--Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold. Cost is determined, and gains and losses are based, on the
identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax
purposes. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. For the six months ended June 30,
1999, The Bank of New York, custodian for the Funds, has provided total credits
in the amount of $4,851 against custodian charges based on the uninvested cash
balances of the Funds.

2. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--For the six months ended June 30, 1999, purchases and
sales of securities other than short-term tax exempt investments and short-term
securities, were as follows:

3. ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES--Certain officers and
trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of its investment adviser,
Executive Investors Management Company, Inc. ("EIMCO"), its underwriter,
Executive Investors Corporation ("EIC"), its transfer agent, Administrative Data

<PAGE>
Management Corp. ("ADM") and/or First Financial Savings Bank, S.L.A. ("FFS"),
custodian of the Trust's Individual Retirement Accounts. Trustees of the Trust
who are not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act are
remunerated by the Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, total trustee
fees accrued by the Funds amounted to $450.

The Investment Advisory Agreement provides as compensation to EIMCO an annual
fee, payable monthly, at the rate of 1% on the first $200 million of each Fund's
average daily net assets, .75% on the next $300 million, declining by .03% on
each $250 million thereafter, down to .66% on average daily net assets over $1
billion. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the total advisory fees earned
by EIMCO from all Funds was $205,750 of which $120,206 was waived. In addition,
expenses of $10,165 were assumed by EIMCO.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, EIC, as underwriter of the Trust,
received $10,076 in commissions from the sale of Trust shares, after allowing
$70,808 to other dealers. Shareholder servicing costs included $13,998 in
transfer agent fees accrued to ADM and $1,460 in IRA custodian fees accrued to
FFS.

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, each
Fund is authorized to pay a fee equal to .50% of its average daily net assets on
an annualized basis each fiscal year, payable quarterly. The fee consists of a
distribution fee and a service fee. The service fee is paid for the ongoing
servicing of clients who are shareholders of that Fund. For the six months ended
June 30, 1999, total distribution plan fees accrued to EIC amounted to $96,375
(of which $14,076 was waived).

4. RULE 144A SECURITIES--Under Rule 144A, certain restricted securities are
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and may
only be resold to qualified institutional investors. At June 30, 1999, the High
Yield Fund held thirteen 144A securities with an aggregate value of $2,981,876.
These securities represent 16.5% of the Fund's net assets and are valued as set
forth in Note 1A.

5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK--The High Yield Fund's investment in high yield
securities, whether rated or unrated, may be considered speculative and subject
to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal than
lower yielding, higher rated, fixed income securities. The risk of loss due to
default by the issuer may be significantly greater for the holders of high
yielding securities, because such securities are generally unsecured and are
often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

                                                                              23

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders and Trustees of
Executive Investors Trust

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of the Blue Chip, High Yield and Insured Tax
Exempt Funds (comprising Executive Investors Trust), as of June 30, 1999, the
related statement of operations for the six months then ended, the statement of
changes in net assets for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended
December 31, 1998 and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated
thereon. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June
30, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to

accounting principles.
