WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                              December 11, 1996
 
   The  objective  of Warburg  Pincus  Fixed Income  Fund  (the 'Fund')  is high
current income  consistent  with  reasonable risk.  Capital  appreciation  is  a
secondary  objective. The  Fund invests  in a  broadly diversified  portfolio of
securities, including both corporate and U.S. government issues.
 
   For the 12 months ended October 31, 1996, the Fund gained 6.80%, vs. a  5.81%
gain  in  the Lehman  Intermediate Government/Corporate  Bond Index.  The Fund's
30-day annualized current yield was 6.09% as of October 31. Its total net assets
were $152,095,378.
 
   The reporting  period ultimately  proved a  positive one  for the  U.S.  bond
market,  with virtually all major  indexes showing gains for  the 12 months. But
trading was volatile and  marked by several major  shifts in investor  sentiment
regarding   inflation  and   the  economy.  The   first  three   months  of  the
period -- November 1995 through January 1996  -- saw bonds rally in response  to
evidence  of  moderate  economic  growth and  controlled  inflation.  The market
struggled through much of  the next eight months,  however, on signs of  renewed
economic  vigor, reacting  particularly sharply to  a series of  strong gains in
monthly employment. By late September, the market had reversed course once more,
with bond prices  rising strongly on  indications of a  slowing economy and  the
continued absence of inflationary pressures. At the end of October, the yield on
the  U.S. Treasury's  30-year bond had  fallen below 6.7%,  after climbing above
7.2% in July.
 
   We attempted to  maintain an  optimal positioning of  the Fund  on the  yield
curve  throughout the period. In general,  we positioned the Fund conservatively
relative to our benchmark index when rates were rising, and extended its average
maturity and  duration when  fundamentals suggested  a more  aggressive  stance.
Timely management of the Fund's interest-rate exposure contributed significantly
to its performance through the period.
 
   We   also  strove  to  enhance  the  Fund's  returns  through  proper  sector
allocation. Our  heaviest  concentration  throughout  the  period  was  in  U.S.
Treasuries,  which  we deemed  most attractive  on  a risk-adjusted  basis. This
reflected, in large  measure, the  general tightening  of yield  spreads in  the
market   through  the  12  months.  With   yield  spreads  between  higher-  and
lower-quality bonds  relatively  narrow,  we concluded  that  there  was  little
incentive for assuming greater credit risk in pursuit of higher yield.
 
   That  said, we were  able to identify some  attractive opportunities in other
areas of  the  market,  including  the mortgage-backed  arena,  where  we  found
particularly  good values among commercial  mortgage-backed bonds. We also found
selective values among corporate bonds, though  in general we found much of  the
sector  to  be  fully priced.  We  held  smaller weightings  in  convertible and
preferred securities  and in  real-estate investment  trusts, equity  securities
with  bond-like  yields.  All  of these  contributed  positively  to  the Fund's
returns.

WARBURG PINCUS GLOBAL FIXED INCOME FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                              December 11, 1996
 
   The  objective of  Warburg Pincus  Global Fixed  Income Fund  (the 'Fund') is
maximum total  return  --  consistent  with  prudent  management  --  through  a
combination  of interest  income, currency  gains and  capital appreciation. The
Fund's   holdings   mainly   include   a   wide   range   of   investment-grade,
income-producing securities of governmental and corporate issuers.
 
   For  the 12 months ended October 31,  1996, the Fund gained 11.35%, vs. gains
of 10.16% for the Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index (Currency-Hedged)
and 13.58%  for  the  Lipper  World Income  Funds  Average.  The  Fund's  30-day
annualized  current yield was 5.75% as of  October 31. Its total net assets were
$131,110,893.
 
   The reporting period  saw gains  for the  majority of  foreign bond  markets,
supported  by  a  general backdrop  of  stable inflation  and  moderate economic
growth. The Fund's largest geographical  concentration throughout the 12  months
was  in Europe, where markets  benefited from an easing  of monetary policy from
many of the  region's central  banks (reflecting  the subdued  rate of  economic
expansion  across  the Continent  and the  near absence  of inflation)  and from
favorable investor  reaction  to progress  toward  European monetary  union.  We
placed  particular  emphasis  on the  markets  of Germany,  the  United Kingdom,
Ireland and Denmark, whose bonds we favored for their attractive yields and  for
their  price-appreciation potential. These holdings contributed significantly to
the Fund's performance for the period.
 
   The Fund's exposure to  less-developed markets, which collectively  generated
exceptionally  strong gains over  the 12 months,  also enhanced its performance.
Our holdings  here included  dollar-denominated  securities from  Latin  America
(consisting  primarily of corporate issues of Argentine and Brazilian banks) and
Asia. The Fund's Asian weighting included conventional bonds from Indonesia  and
convertible  bonds from Hong  Kong, the Philippines and  Thailand. We deemed the
latter  to  represent  particularly  good  values,  and  they  proved  rewarding
investments.
 
   We  hedged the majority  of the Fund's  foreign-currency exposure through the
period. This had a favorable impact on its returns, given the U.S. dollar's rise
against most  currencies.  The unhedged  portion  of the  portfolio  represented
primarily  bonds from  the United Kingdom.  Our decision to  leave this exposure
unhedged proved timely, as the pound appreciated vs. the dollar.

WARBURG PINCUS INTERMEDIATE MATURITY GOVERNMENT FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                              December 11, 1996
 
   The  objective of Warburg  Pincus Intermediate Maturity  Government Fund (the
'Fund') is a high level of current income consistent with capital  preservation.
The  Fund  invests primarily  in obligations  issued or  guaranteed by  the U.S.
Government, its agencies or  instrumentalities. Under normal market  conditions,
the Fund will maintain a weighted average portfolio maturity of between three to
10 years.
 
   For  the 12 months ended October 31, 1996, the Fund gained 5.16%, vs. a 5.67%
gain in  the  Lehman  Intermediate  Government Bond  Index.  The  Fund's  30-day
annualized  current yield as of October 31  was 5.96%. Its total net assets were
$47,689,692.
 
   Mixed readings on the U.S. economy's health led to considerable volatility in
the market  during the  reporting period.  Through much  of the  12 months,  the
greater part of the data pointed toward a strengthening economy, which triggered
fears  of inflation and a tightening of  monetary policy by the Federal Reserve.
This took a proportional toll on the bond market. In mid-September, however, the
market witnessed a  major turn  in sentiment, as  evidence pointed  increasingly
toward more-moderate growth and a benign inflationary environment. The resulting
rally  drove bond yields  lower across the  length of the  yield curve, allowing
bond funds to regain much if not all of the ground lost earlier in the year.
 
   Through the  period, we  adjusted  the Fund's  interest-rate exposure  in  an
effort  to enhance its  performance while simultaneously keeping  a firm hand on
risk. In general, this meant shortening the Fund's average maturity and duration
when interest rates were rising, and extending such when rates were falling.  We
erred  on the  side of  caution when  interest rates  were falling,  holding the
Fund's average maturity  and duration below  that of its  benchmark index.  This
cost  the Fund in terms  of relative performance, but  it is consistent with our
conservative approach to managing the portfolio.
 
   We made few significant changes to the Fund's sector weightings during the 12
months. Its greatest emphasis was in  U.S. Treasuries, which we considered  most
attractive on a relative basis. We also found selected values in mortgage-backed
securities and government-agency obligations.

WARBURG PINCUS NEW YORK INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                              December 11, 1996
 
   The  objective of  Warburg Pincus New  York Intermediate  Municipal Fund (the
'Fund') is maximum current income -- free  from federal, New York state and  New
York  City taxes -- consistent with capital preservation and prudent management.
The Fund's  assets consist  primarily of  investment-grade municipal  securities
with an average maturity of between three and 10 years.
   For the 12 months ended October 31, 1996, the Fund gained 4.87%, vs. gains of
4.58%  for  the Lehman  5-year Municipal  Bond  Index and  4.34% for  the Lipper
Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average. The Fund's 30-day annualized  current
yield as of October 31 was 4.23%. Its total net assets were $77,560,451.
   The  management of interest-rate  volatility had a  significant impact on the
performance of New York municipal bonds during the 12 months. Rates fell  during
the  first three months  of the period  (November 1995 through  January 1996) on
data signaling moderate economic  growth and low  inflation, resulting in  price
gains  for municipal  securities. But  rates rose  for much  of the  rest of the
period, as mounting evidence  of accelerating economic  growth kindled fears  of
inflation  and a tightening of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. This took
a proportional  toll on  bond prices.  Finally, the  last several  weeks of  the
period  (from mid-September through the end of October) saw a fairly sharp rally
for bonds on signs that the economy was slowing and that inflationary  pressures
remained modest.
   We  actively managed the Fund's interest-rate exposure through the period, in
order to preserve capital when interest  rates were rising and to realize  price
gains when rates declined. One defensive hedging technique we employed with good
results was the sale of futures contracts. Specifically, we took short positions
in U.S. Treasury futures contracts when interest rates were rising from February
through  mid-September, which allowed us to  shorten the Fund's duration without
having to sell securities.
   We maintained the Fund's  emphasis on high-quality  New York municipal  bonds
throughout  the  period,  as  yield  spreads  between  these  and  lower-quality
securities were relatively narrow and there was thus little incentive for taking
on greater credit risk in pursuit of higher yield. As of October 31, the  Fund's
average  credit quality was AA. We found attractively valued securities across a
range of sectors, though in general  we continued to underweight hospital  bonds
due to ongoing credit concerns regarding consolidation within the industry.
   Our  outlook on the  relative prospects for New  York's municipal market over
the coming months  remains, in  general, positive, given  the attractive  yields
currently  offered by New York municipal bonds  vs. those of taxable issues. One
area of concern, however, is the recent overhaul of the nation's welfare system.
The new legislation effectively passes the financing burden of welfare from  the
federal  government to  the states  themselves. This  stands to  be particularly
burdensome for New York, given its  large number of welfare recipients. We  will
continue  to  keep a  close watch  on  developments, and  to structure  the Fund
accordingly.

WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   The  Warburg Pincus  Fixed Income  Funds (the  'Funds') are  comprised of the
Warburg Pincus  Fixed Income  Fund (the  'Fixed Income  Fund') and  the  Warburg
Pincus  Intermediate  Maturity  Government  Fund  (the  'Intermediate Government
Fund') which are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the '1940 Act'), as diversified,  open-end management investment companies  and
the Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund (the 'Global Fixed Income Fund') and
the Warburg Pincus New York Intermediate Municipal Fund (the 'New York Municipal
Fund')  which are  registered under  the 1940  Act as  non-diversified, open-end
management investment companies.
 
   Investment objectives for  each Fund are  as follows: the  Fixed Income  Fund
seeks  to  generate high  current income  consistent  with reasonable  risk with
capital appreciation a secondary objective;  the Global Fixed Income Fund  seeks
to   maximize  total  investment  return   consistent  with  prudent  investment
management, consisting of a combination  of interest income, currency gains  and
capital  appreciation; the Intermediate Government Fund seeks to achieve as high
a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital; and the
New York Municipal Fund  seeks to maximize current  interest income exempt  from
Federal  income tax and New York State and  New York City personal income tax to
the extent consistent with prudent investment and preservation of capital.
 
   Each Fund offers two classes of shares, one class being referred to as Common
Shares and one  class being referred  to as Advisor  Shares. Common and  Advisor
Shares  in each Fund represent  an equal pro rata  interest in each Fund, except
that they bear different expenses which  reflect the difference in the range  of
services  provided  to them.  Advisor Shares  for each  fund bear  expenses paid
pursuant to a distribution plan  adopted by each Fund at  an annual rate not  to
exceed  .75% of  the average  daily net asset  value of  each Fund's outstanding
Advisor Shares. The Advisor Shares  for the Fixed Income  Fund and the New  York
Municipal  Fund currently bear expenses of .25% of average daily net assets. The
Advisor Shares of the Global Fixed  Income Fund currently bear expenses of  .50%
of  average daily net  assets. At October 31,  1996, the Intermediate Government
Fund has not issued any Advisor Shares.
 
   The net asset  value of  each Fund  is determined daily  as of  the close  of
regular  trading on  the New  York Stock  Exchange. Each  Fund's investments are
valued at market value,  which is currently determined  using the last  reported
sales  price. If no sales are reported,  investments are generally valued at the
last reported mean price. In the  absence of market quotations, investments  are
generally  valued at fair value  as determined by or  under the direction of the
Fund's governing Board. Short-term  investments that mature in  60 days or  less
are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
   The  books  and  records  of  the  Funds  are  maintained  in  U.S.  dollars.
Transactions denominated  in  foreign currencies  are  recorded at  the  current
prevailing exchange

rates.  All  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are
translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the  current exchange rate at the end  of
the  period. Translation gains or losses  resulting from changes in the exchange
rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement
of foreign currency transactions are reported  in the results of operations  for
the  current period. The Global Fixed Income Fund isolates that portion of gains
and losses on investments  in debt securities  which are due  to changes in  the
foreign  exchange rate from  that which are  due to changes  in market prices of
debt securities.
 
   Security transactions  are accounted  for  on a  trade date  basis.  Interest
income  is  recorded  on  the  accrual  basis.  Dividends  are  recorded  on the
ex-dividend  date.   Income,   expenses  (excluding   class-specific   expenses,
principally  distribution, shareholder  servicing fees and  transfer agency) and
realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class  of
shares  based upon the relative  net asset value of  the outstanding shares. The
cost of investments  sold is determined  by use of  the specific  identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
 
   Dividends  from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for
the Fixed  Income  Fund, the  Intermediate  Government  Fund and  the  New  York
Municipal  Fund.  Dividends from  net investment  income  are declared  and paid
quarterly for the Global Fixed Income  Fund. Distributions for all Funds of  net
realized  capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. However, to the
extent that  a net  realized  capital gain  can be  reduced  by a  capital  loss
carryover,   such  gain  will  not  be  distributed.  Income  and  capital  gain
distributions are determined in accordance  with Federal income tax  regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
 
   No  provision is  made for Federal  taxes as  it is each  Fund's intention to
continue to qualify  for and  elect the  tax treatment  applicable to  regulated
investment  companies under  the Internal  Revenue Code  and make  the requisite
distributions to its shareholders  which will be sufficient  to relieve it  from
Federal income and excise taxes.
 
   Each  Fund may enter into repurchase  agreement transactions. Under the terms
of a  typical  repurchase agreement,  a  Fund acquires  an  underlying  security
subject  to  an  obligation  of  the seller  to  repurchase.  The  value  of the
underlying security collateral will be maintained at an amount at least equal to
the total amount of the purchase obligation, including interest. The  collateral
is in the Fund's possession.
 
   The  Funds,  together  with other  Warburg-advised  funds,  (collectively the
'Warburg Funds'),  have established  committed and  uncommitted line  of  credit
facilities  with  certain banks  for temporary  or emergency  purposes primarily
relating to fund share redemptions and  funding payments of dividend or  capital
gain distributions. Under the terms of the committed line of credit, the Warburg
Funds  with access to  the facility pay a  commitment fee at a  rate of .10% per
annum on the

amount of the line of credit. In addition, under the terms of both the committed
and uncommitted facilities, the Warburg Funds will pay interest on borrowings at
the banks base rate  plus .55%. Aggregate borrowings  for each fund under  these
credit  facilities may not exceed the lower  of (a) the maximum amount permitted
by such fund's  investment policies  and restrictions  or (b)  thirty three  and
one-third  percent (33 1/3%)  of such fund's  total assets. At  October 31, 1996
there were no outstanding balances under these line of credit facilities for any
of the funds.
 
   The preparation of 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  revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
   The Funds  have an  arrangement with  their transfer  agent whereby  interest
earned  on uninvested cash balances was used to offset a portion of the transfer
agent expense. For the year ended  October 31, 1996, the Funds received  credits
or reimbursements under this arrangement as follows:

from the  potential inability  of  counterparties to  meet  the terms  of  their
contracts  and from unanticipated  movements in the value  of a foreign currency
relative to  the  U.S. dollar.  The  Funds  will enter  into  forward  contracts
primarily  for hedging purposes. The forward  currency contracts are adjusted by
the daily exchange rate of the underlying  currency and any gains or losses  are
recorded  for  financial statement  purposes  as unrealized  until  the contract
settlement date.
 
   At October 31,  1996, the  Global Fixed Income  Fund had  the following  open
forward foreign currency contracts:

5. FUTURES CONTRACTS
 
   Each  Fund may enter  into futures contracts  to the extent  permitted by its
investment policies and  objectives. Upon  entering into a  futures contract,  a
Fund  is required to make a deposit of an initial margin with its custodian in a
segregated account.  Subsequent  payments,  which are  dependent  on  the  daily
fluctuations in the

value  of the  underlying instrument, are  made or  received by a  Fund each day
(daily variation margin) and  are recorded as unrealized  gains or losses  until
the contracts are closed. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized
gain  or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the
closing transactions and a Fund's basis in the contract. Risks of entering  into
futures  contracts include  the possibility  that a change  in the  value of the
contract may  not correlate  with the  changes in  the value  of the  underlying
instruments.  Second,  it  is possible  that  a  lack of  liquidity  for futures
contracts could exist  in the  secondary market,  resulting in  an inability  to
close  a futures position prior  to its maturity date.  Third, the purchase of a
futures contract involves the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original
margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. During the year ended
October 31, 1996,  the New York  Municipal Fund entered  into futures  contracts
which  resulted in net realized gains of  $519,896. At October 31, 1996, the New
York Municipal Bond Fund had the following open futures contracts:

WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Boards of Directors, Trustees and Shareholders of
WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS:
 
We  have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities including
the schedules of  investments of Warburg  Pincus Fixed Income  Fund and  Warburg
Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund and the statements of net assets of
Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund and Warburg Pincus New York Intermediate
Municipal  Fund (all Funds collectively referred to as the 'Warburg Pincus Fixed
Income Funds') as of October 31, 1996, and the related statements of  operations
for  the year then  ended, the related  statements of changes  in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights  for
each  of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights  are  the  responsibility of  the  Funds'  management.  Our
responsibility  is  to  express an  opinion  on these  financial  statements and
financial highlights based on  our audits. The financial  highlights of each  of
the  Warburg Pincus Fixed  Income Funds for  the period ended  October 31, 1992,
were audited by other auditors, whose report dated December 15, 1992,  expressed
an unqualified opinion.
 
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
October  31, 1996, by  correspondence with the custodians  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
above  present fairly, in all material  respects, the financial position of each
of the Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Funds as of October 31, 1996, and the results
of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights  for
each  of the four years  in the period then  ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
