Warburg Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report--October 31, 1999
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999, the Advisor Class shares of Warburg
Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund had a loss of 0.39%, vs. a gain of
0.81% for the Lehman Intermediate Government Bond Index.
The reporting period was a lackluster one for the high-quality bonds in which
the fund invests, reflecting investors' decreased emphasis on safety and
liquidity. A rebound in emerging-market economies, combined with stabilizing
global financial conditions generally, helped reverse a "flight to quality" that
had strongly benefited U.S. government bonds in the months prior to the start of
the period. These bonds were also hampered by better-than-expected domestic
growth. The strong economy raised the specter of potential inflation, prompting
the Federal Reserve to raise rates in June and August (the Fed raised rates
again in November, in effect "taking back" the third of the three rate cuts it
made in 1998). All told, bond yields rose along the length of the yield curve,
with the yield on the U.S. Treasury's 30-year bond standing at 6.16% at the end
of October, up from 5.15% at the start of the period.
Against this backdrop, the fund had a marginal loss and modestly lagged
behind its benchmark for the 12 months. The fund's performance largely reflected
its interest-rate sensitivity. The fund's duration was somewhat longer than that
of its benchmark during much of the period, reflecting our desire to maintain
what we viewed as attractive levels of risk-adjusted yield. This stance cost the
fund in terms of total return (i.e., bond-price changes plus coupon income),
however, given the rise in bond yields during the period.
With respect to sector emphasis, we remained underweighted in Treasury bonds
in favor of government-agency bonds, which we viewed as generally more
attractive. Our agency weighting included a significant position in
mortgage-backed bonds (e.g., Fannie Mae bonds), a weighting we raised over the
course of the period. This contributed positively to the fund's return, as these
issues had relatively good performance, supported by declining worries over
prepayment risk.
Going forward, we remain devoted to providing what we deem to be attractive
levels of yield while maintaining a high-quality portfolio. As always, we will
continue to make duration and sector adjustments to the fund based on
risk-vs.-reward considerations.

Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report--October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999, the Advisor Class shares of Warburg
Pincus Fixed Income Fund had a return of 0.67%, vs. a return of 0.98% for the
Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index.
The period was a mostly difficult one for the U.S. bond market, reflecting
persistent strength in the economy. The economy's health prompted worries that
the Federal Reserve, which raised interest rates in June and August, would
continue to raise rates in order to contain potential inflation. While actual
inflation remained subdued, these worries (and the Fed's actions) weighed on
bond prices, and most major bond indexes had only slim gains in terms of total
return, i.e., bond-price changes plus coupon income. One area of relative
strength for the bond market was high-yield, or lower-quality, bonds, which were
aided by optimism over credit upgrades (these bonds, however, struggled over the
latter part of the period).
Set against this backdrop, the fund had a marginal gain, restrained by the
general weakness in the high-quality bonds emphasized by the fund. The fund
performed in line with its benchmark, largely reflecting our decision to keep
the fund's duration fairly close to that of its benchmark over much of the
period. While we remained optimistic regarding the longer-term outlook for
inflation and interest rates, we were reluctant to extend duration materially,
given near-term uncertainties regarding the Fed's monetary policy.
In terms of sector exposure, we remained well-diversified through the period,
with a continued bias in favor of corporate and mortgage-backed bonds. In
general, our preference for these issues reflected our view that they continued
to offer attractive yields compared to Treasury bonds with similar maturities,
with relatively little added credit risk (we maintained a strong bias in favor
of investment-grade corporate and mortgage-backed bonds). That said, we
continued to view Treasuries as attractive from a total-return perspective,
given the price support they stand to receive over the longer term from a
potential declining supply of these issues (i.e., due to the government's
declining borrowing needs).

Going forward, we plan to maintain a diversified mix of Treasury and
non-Treasury issues, adjusting our sector exposure as we deem appropriate on a
risk-vs.-reward basis. Overall, our focus will remain on high-quality,
intermediate-term bonds with what we deem to be attractive risk-adjusted yields
and potential for longer-term appreciation.

Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund
Annual Investment Adviser's Report--October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999, the Advisor Class shares of Warburg
Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund had a return of 1.41%, vs. returns of 1.34% for
the Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index (Currency-Hedged), 0.53% for
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and 2.00% for a Composite Benchmark.
The reporting period was, on the whole, a less-than-stellar one for global
bond markets, though performance varied significantly by region and sector. Most
emerging-market bonds had solid performance, boosted by optimism that these
markets had turned the corner economically and financially. Within developed
markets, European bonds generally had losses, beset by inflation and
interest-rate uncertainties (for dollar-based, or unhedged, investors, these
losses were exacerbated by the weakness in the euro and other European
currencies vs. the dollar during the period). The U.S. bond market also
struggled, due to worries over interest rates, though high-yield domestic bonds
fared relatively well, reflecting a more-supportive backdrop for high-yield debt
in general. Elsewhere of note, Japanese bonds had middling returns in
local-currency terms, though these bonds had significant gains in dollar terms
as the yen strengthened vs. the dollar over the 12 months.
Against this backdrop, the fund had a positive yet very modest return,
restrained by the weakness in the high-quality debt that continued to comprise
the bulk of the fund. The fund performed well compared to its benchmarks,
however, supported by its relatively large weighting in high-yield bonds,
including emerging-market bonds, through much of the period. The fund was also
helped by our currency strategies. We maintained a strong bias in favor of the
dollar through the 12 months, which proved beneficial, as most major currencies
weakened vs. the dollar during the period (we also had some timely exposure to
the yen and South Africa's rand).
In terms of sector/regional allocation, we continued to hold a diversified
mix of government, corporate and mortgage-backed issues representing a wide
range of countries. Our government holdings included U.S. Treasuries as well as
sovereign debt from Denmark, Norway and Japan. In the corporate and
mortgage-backed segments, the bulk of our emphasis remained on the U.S.,
reflecting our positive view on the U.S. economy. We also held some corporate
and mortgage-backed bonds from Europe, whose economic prospects seem to be
improving (though forecasts vary widely
6

Warburg Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by country). Our European holdings included a U.K. high-yield telecommunications
issue and a Swedish mortgage-backed bond that we believe have good total-return
prospects.
Elsewhere, we maintained a weighting in emerging-markets (approximately 9% of
the Fund as of October 31, 1999), whose fundamentals generally seem to continue
to improve. Our holdings here were primarily Latin American and South African
bonds that we believe stand to benefit from more-supportive macroeconomic
backdrops (e.g., falling interest rates and rising exports) in these areas.
Looking ahead, we believe that the global economy could continue to improve
(perhaps significantly, if Japan's recovery proves sustainable), potentially
resulting in a rise in inflation and/or interest rates in certain areas. We
therefore will likely maintain an overall focus on intermediate-term bonds,
which are less sensitive to interest-rate fluctuations compared to longer-term
securities. That said, a stronger global economy stands to benefit certain
bonds, in particular emerging-market and high-yield bonds, which are likely to
remain a meaningful part of the fund. Overall, we will continue to strive to
provide a diversified portfolio of bonds and currencies offering what we deem to
be attractive levels of risk-adjusted total return.

Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 1999
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The Warburg Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund (the "Intermediate
Government Fund") and the Warburg Pincus Fixed Income Fund (the "Fixed Income
Fund") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940
Act), as diversified, open-end management investment companies. The Warburg
Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund (the "Global Fixed Income Fund") is registered
under the 1940 Act as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company
(each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds").
Investment objectives for each Fund are as follows: the Intermediate
Government Fund seeks to achieve as high a level of current income as is
consistent with the preservation of capital; the Fixed Income Fund seeks to
generate high current income consistent with reasonable risk and, secondarily,
capital appreciation; and 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.
Each Fund offers two classes of shares, one class being referred to as the
Common Class shares and one class being referred to as the Advisor Class shares.
Common and Advisor Class 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 Class 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 Class shares. The Advisor Class shares for
the Intermediate Government Fund and the Fixed Income Fund currently bear
expenses of .25% of average daily net assets. The Advisor Class shares of the
Global Fixed Income Fund currently bear expenses of .50% of average daily net
assets.
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 generally determined using market quotations.
If no sales are reported, investments are generally valued at the mean between
the last reported bid and asked prices. If market quotations are not readily
available, securities and other assets are valued by another method that the
Fund's Board believe accurately reflects fair value. Debt that will mature in 60
days or less is valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market
value, unless the Board determines that using this method would not reflect an
investment's value.

1. Significant Accounting Policies -- (cont'd)
When a Fund writes or purchases a call or a put option, an amount equal to
the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or asset,
the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value
of the option. When the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal
to the amount of the premium received or paid. When the Fund exercises an option
or enters into a closing transaction by purchasing or selling an offsetting
option, it realizes a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss
on the underlying security. The potential loss associated with purchasing an
option is limited to the premium paid, and the premium would partially offset
any gains achieved from its use.
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 Fixed Income Fund and the Global Fixed
Income Fund isolate that portion of realized 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.
The Fixed Income and the Global Fixed Income Funds may invest in securities
of foreign countries and governments, which involve certain risks in addition to
those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among
other things, currency risk (fluctuations in currency exchange rates),
information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and
political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or
currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign
securities include liquidity and valuation risks.
The Fixed Income and the Global Fixed Income Funds' investments in securities
of issuers located in less developed countries considered to be "emerging
markets" involve risks in addition to those generally applicable to foreign
securities. Focusing on emerging (less developed) markets involves higher levels
of risk, including increased currency, information, liquidity, market, political
and valuation risks. Deficiencies in regulatory oversight, market
infrastructure, shareholder protections and company laws could expose the Funds
to operational and other risks as well. Some countries may

have restrictions that could limit the Funds access to attractive opportunities.
Additionally, emerging markets often face serious economic problems (such as
high external debt, inflation and unemployment) that could subject the portfolio
to increased volatility or substantial declines in value.
Each Fund may each invest up to 15% of its net assets in non-publicly traded
securities. Non-publicly traded securities may be less liquid than publicly-
traded securities, and they may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time
and at the price the Fund would like. In addition, the lack of an active market
may make it difficult to obtain an accurate price for a Fund security.
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 and shareholder servicing fees) and realized/unrealized
gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon
the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. 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 Intermediate Government Fund and the Fixed Income 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 at least annually for all Funds. 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 of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be
sufficient to relieve it from Federal income and excise taxes.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, each Fund, along with other Funds advised by Credit Suisse Asset
Management, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser ("CSAM LLC") (collectively the
"Warburg Funds", may transfer uninvested cash balances to a pooled cash account,
which is invested in repurchase agreements secured

by U.S. government securities. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the Funds' custodian bank until the agreements mature.
Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to
cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default or
bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may
be subject to legal proceedings. At October 31, 1999, the Funds had no
investments in repurchase agreements.
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 their
transfer agent expense. For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Funds received
credits or reimbursements under this arrangement as follows:
Fund Amount
---- -------
Intermediate Government $ 3,900
Fixed Income 30,417
Global Fixed Income 9,393
2. Investment Adviser, Co-Administrators and Distributor
On July 6, 1999, CSAM LLC became each Fund's investment adviser as a result
of the acquisition of Warburg Pincus Asset Management, Inc. ("Warburg Pincus")
by Credit Suisse Group ("Credit Suisse"). Warburg Pincus was combined with CSAM
LLC, which is an indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Credit Suisse. For its
investment advisory services, CSAM LLC receives the following fees based on each
Fund's average daily net assets:
Fund Annual Rate
---- ---------------------------------
Intermediate Government .50% of average daily net assets

3. Line of Credit
The Funds, together with other Funds advised by CSAM LLC, have established a
$250 million committed, unsecured, line of credit facility ("Credit Facility")
with Deutsche Bank AG as administrative agent, State Street Bank and Trust
Company as operations agent, Bank of Nova Scotia as syndication agent as well as
certain other lenders, for temporary or emergency purposes primarily relating to
unanticipated Fund share redemption. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the
Funds with access to the Credit Facility pay an aggregate commitment fee at a
rate of .075% per annum on the average daily balance of the Credit Facility that
is undisbursed and uncanceled during the preceding quarter allocated among the
participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of
the various Funds. In addition, the participating Funds will pay interest on
borrowing at the Federal funds rate plus .50%. At October 31, 1999, and during
the year ended October 31, 1999, the Funds had no borrowings under the credit
facility.

Global Fixed Income 4,304,271 (8,400,660) (4,096,389)
5. 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 and from movements in the value of
a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and from the potential default of
counterparties to the contract. Each Fund will enter into forward contracts
primarily for hedging purposes. However, on occasion the Funds may enter into
forward contracts for speculative purposes, which may increase the Fund's
investment risk. 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, 1999, the Global Fixed Income Fund had the following open
forward foreign currency contracts:

6. 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 for hedging purposes 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. In addition, the
purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that a Fund could lose more
than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures
transaction. For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Funds did not enter into
futures contracts.
7. Capital Share Transactions
The Intermediate Government Fund and the Global Fixed Income Fund are each
authorized to issue three billion full and fractional shares of capital stock,
$.001 par value per share, of which two billion shares are classified as the
Advisor Class shares. The Fixed Income Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per
share, of which an unlimited number of shares are classified as the Common Class
and an unlimited number of shares are classified as the Advisor Class.

9. Net Assets
At October 31, 1999, capital contributions, undistributed net investment
income, accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security transactions and
current period distributions have been adjusted for current period permanent
book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments
of foreign currency transactions. The Intermediate Government Fund and the Fixed
Income Fund reclassified $(720) and $(43,602) respectively from accumulated net
realized gain (loss) from security transactions to capital contributed. The
Fixed Income Fund reclassified $(783) and $(103,373) from undistributed net
investment income to capital contributed and accumulated net realized gain
(loss) from security transactions respectively. The Global Fixed Income Fund
reclassified $2,918,869 from accumulated net realized gain on foreign currency
related items to undistributed net investment income.

Report of Independent Accountants
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Warburg, Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund, Inc.;
Warburg, Pincus Fixed Income Fund, Inc.; and
Warburg, Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund, Inc.;
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Warburg, Pincus Intermediate Maturity Government Fund, Inc., Warburg, Pincus
Fixed Income Fund, Inc. and Warburg, Pincus Global Fixed Income Fund, Inc. (all
funds collectively referred to as the "Funds") at October 31, 1999, and the
results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each
of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the
financial highlights for each of the years (or periods) presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
