WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 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 six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 1.38%, vs. a 1.16%
gain  in the Lehman  Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate  Bond Index. The
Fund's 30-day annualized current yield was 6.85%  as of April 30. Its total  net
assets were $126,478,000.
 
     The  first half  of the reporting  period -- November  1995 through January
1996 -- was a positive environment for bonds, as interest rates fell in response
to signs of continued moderate economic growth and controlled inflation. Through
this period,  we kept  the Fund's  average  maturity and  duration equal  to  or
extended slightly beyond those of its benchmark index, which allowed the Fund to
take  advantage of the general increase in  bond prices. By sector, the Fund was
concentrated most heavily in U.S. Treasuries, which we deemed most attractive on
a relative basis.
 
     The second half of the reporting  period proved far less hospitable to  the
bond  market. Mounting evidence  of a rejuvenated  U.S. economy and accompanying
fears of inflation led to a significant backup in interest rates -- the yield on
the Treasury's  benchmark 30-year  bond  rose from  6.04%  at the  beginning  of
February  to nearly 7%  at the end of  April. The magnitude  of the rise negated
most, if not  all, of  the price  gains seen  over the  November-through-January
span,  and left most bond funds with nominal  gains, or even losses, for the six
months ended April 30.
 
     Our strategy  as interest  rates rose  was to  shorten the  Fund's  average
maturity  and duration in an effort to  minimize price losses. We also increased
the Fund's diversification among market sectors, reducing its Treasury  exposure
and  adding  selectively to  other  areas (e.g.,  mortgage-backed  and corporate
securities). The combination of a more-defensive positioning on the yield  curve
and  broadened sector diversification resulted in performance that was favorable
in relative terms, if not absolute terms.
 
     Our outlook  on the  near-term  prospects for  bonds remains,  in  general,
guarded,  given our expectations for stronger economic growth and the likelihood
of a  further  rise  in interest  rates.  But  we continue  to  find  attractive
opportunities,  and will maintain our efforts toward providing shareholders with
an attractive  level of  current income  as well  as the  potential for  capital
appreciation.

WARBURG PINCUS GLOBAL FIXED INCOME FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 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 six months ended April 30,  1996, the Fund gained 4.66%, vs. gains
of 3.19% in the Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index (Hedged) and  3.99%
in  the Lipper General World Income  Funds Average. The Fund's 30-day annualized
current yield was 7.39% as of April 30. Its total net assets were $101,812,000.
 
     Most foreign bond markets saw modest  gains for the six months. By  region,
the Fund's largest weighting through the period was in Europe, with a particular
focus  on  securities  of the  markets  of  Denmark and  Germany.  We  also held
significant positions in government securities of the markets of Ireland and the
United Kingdom. We considered these bonds to be attractive based on their yields
and on their prospects  for price appreciation,  which appeared favorable  given
the  absence of inflation and the generally  slow rate of economic growth across
most of  Europe. The  Fund's  European holdings  contributed positively  to  its
performance through the period.
 
     The  Fund also benefited from its exposure to Asian and Latin American debt
markets. In the former, the  portfolio's holdings included Indonesian bonds,  as
well  as convertible  issues from Hong  Kong, the Philippines  and Thailand. The
Fund's Latin  American  holdings  consisted  primarily  of  corporate  bonds  of
Argentine  and Brazilian  banks. We  favored these  securities because  of their
attractive yields and because they are denominated in U.S. dollars.
 
     Our decision to hedge the majority of the Fund's foreign-currency  exposure
during  the period  proved beneficial, as  the U.S.  dollar strengthened against
most overseas  currencies.  We  remain,  in general,  bullish  on  the  dollar's
relative  prospects vs. most foreign currencies, and  as of April 30, 87% of the
Fund's assets were either dollar-denominated or hedged into dollars.

WARBURG PINCUS INTERMEDIATE MATURITY GOVERNMENT FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 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 high-quality  U.S. government bonds with very low
credit risk and an average maturity of between three and 10 years.
 
     For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 0.81%, vs. a  gain
of  1.23% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government Bond Index. The Fund's
30-day annualized current yield as of April  30 was 6.06%. Its total net  assets
were $49,729,000.
 
     The  reporting period was a volatile  one for the bond market, particularly
for U.S. government securities.  The first three  months (November 1995  through
January  1996) saw a general rise  in bond prices, reflecting investors' bullish
expectations for continued slow  economic growth and  low inflation. The  second
half  of  the  period  (February  through  April)  saw  a  reversal  in investor
sentiment, prompted by increasing signs of stronger economic growth and hints of
inflationary pressures. The resultant  heavy selling pressure pushed  government
bond yields sharply higher across the full spectrum of maturities.
 
     We  attempted to position the Fund  optimally on the yield curve throughout
the period, in general extending its average maturity and duration as rates fell
and assuming a more-defensive stance as rates  climbed. We erred on the side  of
caution  as rates  were falling, keeping  the Fund's  duration and interest-rate
sensitivity below that of its benchmark  index. This strategy may have cost  the
Fund  somewhat in terms of  its relative performance, but  it is consistent with
our focus on maintaining low volatility in  the Fund's net asset value and  with
our view that the economy's strength was greater than widely expected.
 
     We  made relatively few  changes in terms of  sector weightings through the
November-through-April period. The  Fund's heaviest emphasis  throughout was  on
government  and  agency  securities,  primarily  Treasuries,  which  we believed
represented better values,  in general,  than either  mortgage- or  asset-backed
issues. As of April 30, U.S. government and agency securities accounted for over
90% of the portfolio.

WARBURG PINCUS NEW YORK INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 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  obligations
with an average maturity of between three and 10 years.
 
     For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 1.46%, vs. a 0.80%
gain  in  the Lipper  New York  Intermediate Municipal  Debt Funds  Average. The
Fund's 30-day annualized current yield as of  April 30 was 4.67%. Its total  net
assets were $75,232,000.
 
     The   performance  of   New  York  municipal   obligations,  and  municipal
obligations in general,  over the  six months  tracked closely  that of  taxable
issues.  Bond prices rose during  the November-through-January period, supported
by data suggesting continued moderate economic growth and low inflation.  Prices
fell,  in general,  over much of  the next three  months, as growing  signs of a
strengthening  economy  stirred  fears  of  inflation,  reducing  the   relative
attractiveness of fixed-income securities.
 
     Throughout,  we actively  managed the Fund's  interest-rate exposure, which
allowed the Fund to capture much  of the price appreciation afforded by  falling
interest  rates and  to avoid  the worst of  the damage  when rates subsequently
moved higher. One defensive hedging technique we employed with positive  results
was the sale of futures contracts. Specifically, we took short positions in U.S.
Treasury  futures  contracts  during the  February-through-April  span  as rates
climbed, which allowed us to shorten the Fund's duration without having to  sell
securities.
 
     In  terms of credit  quality, we maintained the  Fund's focus on high-grade
New York  municipal bonds  throughout the  period, since  yield spreads  between
these  and  lower-quality  securities  were  relatively  narrow  and  there  was
therefore little incentive for  taking on greater credit  risk. As of April  30,
the  Fund's average credit quality  was AA. We found  attractive values across a
range of sectors, though in general  we continued to underweight hospital  bonds
due to credit concerns.
 
     Our  outlook on the relative prospects  of New York's municipal market over
the next several months is, in general,  positive. This optimism is based on  an
improved  tax environment for municipals (the likelihood of tax reform, at least
prior to  the  November  elections, appears  to  have  diminished);  projections
calling for a relatively light supply of new issues (which should support prices
of  outstanding bonds); and the attractive  yields currently offered by New York
municipal bonds vs. those of taxable issues. Set against this backdrop, we  will
continue  our efforts toward providing shareholders  with an attractive level of
income free from federal, New York state and New York City taxes.

WARBURG PINCUS FIXED INCOME FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 1996 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The  Warburg Pincus Fixed Income 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.
 
     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. 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 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 period ended April  30, 1996, the Funds received credits
or reimbursements under this arrangement as follows:

4. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
     The  Fixed Income  Fund and  the Global  Fixed Income  Fund may  enter into
forward currency  contracts for  the  purchase or  sale  of a  specific  foreign
currency  at a fixed price on a future  date. Risks may arise upon entering into
these contracts 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  April 30,  1996, the  Global Fixed Income  Fund had  the following open
forward foreign currency contracts:

5. FUTURES CONTRACTS
 
     Each Fund may  enter into  futures contracts  for hedging  purposes to  the
extent  permitted by  its investment  policies and  objectives. To  enter into a
futures contract, a  Fund must  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.  During  the period,  the  New  York
Municipal  Fund entered  into futures contracts  which resulted  in net realized
gains of $265,141 for the  six months ended April 30,  1996. At April 30,  1996,
the  New York Municipal Bond  Fund had open futures  contracts with recorded net
unrealized gains of $39,843.
