WARBURG PINCUS CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 1996
 
   The  objective of  Warburg Pincus Capital  Appreciation Fund  (the 'Fund') is
long-term capital  appreciation. The  Fund invests  primarily in  a  diversified
selection  of medium-sized domestic  companies and seeks  to identify sectors of
the market and companies within market  sectors that may out perform the  market
and themes or patterns that may be associated with high growth potential firms.
   For  the six months ended April 30, 1996,  the Fund rose 16.61%, vs. gains of
13.70% in the  Standard & Poor's  500 Index,  11.22% in the  Lipper Growth  Fund
Index and 13.85% in the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index.
   We  made few major changes  to the Fund during the  period in terms of sector
weightings or  specific  holdings,  maintaining  its  general  concentration  in
several  broad areas:  financial services, health  care, media/entertainment and
technology. The rationale for emphasizing companies within these sectors is that
they stand  to benefit  directly  from several  powerful secular  trends.  These
include the aging of the baby boomers; the continued outsourcing of services and
downsizing of corporate America; and consolidation within industries. We believe
that  the companies held  in the portfolio are  among the best-positioned within
their respective industries, and that  their prospects are very favorable.  Many
of  these  companies are  also actively  engaged in  aggressive share-repurchase
programs, which we believe should have a beneficial impact on their stock prices
over time.
   In general, our holdings in these areas contributed positively to the  Fund's
performance   over  the   November-through-April  span.   One  group   that  saw
considerable volatility  through the  period,  however, were  financial  stocks,
which  represent the Fund's heaviest single concentration. These securities were
impacted negatively by two factors: rising interest rates from February  through
April  in response to signs of  stronger economic growth, and concerns regarding
credit quality in their  credit-card portfolios. We  believe that the  financial
companies  held  in the  portfolio  are strong,  well-managed  businesses, their
recent weakness  notwithstanding,  and  that their  near-  to  intermediate-term
performance  stands  to benefit  from moderating  interest  rates in  the months
ahead.
   One change we  made during the  latter half  of the reporting  period was  to
selectively increase the Fund's positions in more cyclically oriented industries
(e.g.,  chemicals, industrial manufacturing &  processing, and specific areas of
technology). Increasingly, evidence suggests that the U.S. economy is relatively
strong and  gaining  strength,  and  the  Fund's  increased  emphasis  on  these
companies should work to its advantage in the coming months.

WARBURG PINCUS EMERGING GROWTH FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 1996
 
   The  objective of Warburg Pincus Emerging Growth Fund (the 'Fund') is maximum
capital appreciation. The  Fund targets  small and  medium-sized U.S.  companies
that  have  successfully completed  the start-up  phase, show  positive earnings
momentum and are  deemed to have  the potential to  achieve significant  capital
gains within a relatively short period of time.
   For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 21.06%, vs. gains of
19.33% in the Lipper Small Company Growth Fund Index, 18.42% in the Russell 2000
Index, and 13.70% in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
   The  Fund benefited from strength across a broad range of its holdings during
the period. Its technology-related  stocks made a  positive contribution to  its
performance,  which is noteworthy,  given the volatility  that characterized the
sector through  much of  the six  months. We  believe that  selectivity  remains
crucial  in the technology area. Hence we  continue to focus on what we consider
to be well-managed,  specialized companies with  proprietary technologies,  high
margins  and visible streams  of earnings. This discipline  served the Fund well
during  the  reporting  period,   allowing  it  to   avoid  the  weakness   that
characterized   stocks   of   other,   more   commodity-type   companies  (e.g.,
semiconductor manufacturers).
   The Fund's health-care stocks also saw positive results. We continue to  find
very  attractive opportunities in this sector, particularly among companies able
to bring technological applications to what remains a very inefficient industry.
This inefficiency, coupled with an  aging U.S. population, suggests that  health
care will remain fertile ground for nimble, innovative smaller companies for the
foreseeable  future, hence we continue to emphasize the sector in the portfolio.
Two specific, related areas  that we believe hold  particular promise are  among
makers  of pharmaceuticals  and medical  devices, and  the Fund's  holdings here
showed solid gains over the November-through-April span.
   Another theme that we have emphasized  with success in recent months is  that
of  corporate America's continuing penchant  for outsourcing and downsizing. Our
holdings include many companies that are direct beneficiaries of this trend, and
their performance has been  of benefit to the  portfolio. Other industries  that
have  contributed  to  the Fund's  recent  performance,  and areas  in  which we
continue to  find  attractive  companies,  include oil  services  (5.1%  of  the
portfolio as of April 30), retail (5.1% and communications & media (4.3%).

WARBURG PINCUS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 1996
 
   The  objective of  Warburg Pincus International  Equity Fund  (the 'Fund') is
long-term capital appreciation.  The Fund  aims to  tap into  the strong  growth
potential  of today's foreign stock markets  by investing primarily in companies
whose principal business activities and interests are outside the U.S.
 
   For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 15.58%, vs. gains of
12.09% in the Lipper International Fund  Index and 13.21% in the Morgan  Stanley
Europe, Australasia and Far East ('EAFE') Index.
 
   The  Fund's  performance  for  the  six months  was  driven  by  timely stock
selection and, broadly, by the  Fund's emphasis on Asian-Pacific markets,  which
saw  strong returns over  the period. The  portfolio's largest country weighting
throughout remained Japan (29.2% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30), which
rose on signs of continued economic  recovery, an improved earnings outlook  for
many  companies, and an expansionary monetary policy  from the Bank of Japan. We
believe that  the  prospects for  the  Japanese economy  and  Japanese  equities
remain,  in general, favorable, and that the Fund is well-positioned in terms of
its specific  holdings. By  sector, the  Fund's largest  weightings are  in  two
areas,  machinery & industrial  components and retail,  reflecting our view that
Japan's economic recovery will be led by capital spending and consumption.
 
   As a defensive  measure, we continue  to hedge a  substantial portion of  the
Fund's  yen exposure, reflecting our view that the Japanese currency will weaken
vs. the  U.S. dollar.  This strategy  worked to  the Fund's  advantage over  the
reporting period.
 
   Other   Asian-Pacific  stocks  that  contributed  positively  to  the  Fund's
performance include  its  holdings in  Hong  Kong, Indonesia,  South  Korea  and
Taiwan.  The latter two markets, which combined  represented 9.8% of the Fund as
of April 30, rebounded  strongly in April --  rising 11% and 25%,  respectively,
for  the  month  per  Morgan  Stanley  Capital  International  --  after  under-
performing in 1995  and through the  first three months  of 1996. Our  long-term
outlook  on both markets,  and on Asian-Pacific  markets generally, remains very
positive, given what  we consider  to be  their excellent  growth prospects  and
reasonable valuations.
 
   The  Fund remained underweighted in Europe through the period, reflecting our
general view that  better growth  prospects exist  elsewhere. But  the Fund  saw
positive  results from many of its  European holdings, notably its German stocks
(Adidas and SGL Carbon, which both rose strongly despite general weakness in the
German equity market)  and its  French stocks.  The French  stock market,  after
lagging  in  1995,  was  Europe's strongest  performer  in  local-currency terms
through the  first  four months  of  1996, driven  by  signs that  its  economic
troubles have begun to ease. The Fund benefited from this strength, with several
of its
 
                                       3

<PAGE>
holdings  (e.g., Lagardere  Groupe, Fives-Lille and  Scor) enjoying particularly
impressive gains. The Fund also benefited  from our decision to hedge its  franc
exposure,  since the French currency weakened against the U.S. dollar during the
period. We remain positive on the outlook for our French stocks, believing  that
they are strong, well-managed businesses.

WARBURG PINCUS JAPAN OTC FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 1996
 
   The  objective of  Warburg Pincus  Japan OTC  Fund (the  'Fund') is long-term
capital appreciation. The  Fund invests  primarily in securities  traded on  the
Japanese  over-the-counter (OTC) market.  At all times,  except during temporary
defensive periods, the Fund maintains  at least 65% of  its assets in these  OTC
securities.
 
   For  the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 8.23%, vs. gains of
17.37%  and  14.55%   in  the  yen-   and  dollar-denominated  JASDAQ   indexes,
respectively. For the 1-year period ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 25.33%
vs.  31.65%  and  5.58%  in  the  yen-  and  dollar-denominated  JASDAQ indexes,
respectively.*
 
   The Fund trailed its benchmark for the period due largely to its weighting in
stocks of integrated-circuit (e.g., semiconductor) manufacturers. These had been
strong performers in 1995, and  the Fund's emphasis on  these issues was one  of
the  main contributors  to its  performance for  the year.  But the  stocks have
suffered vs.  other sectors  of the  market thus  far in  1996, and  the  Fund's
exposure  through April proved a liability. We believe that many of these stocks
have the potential to show improved  performance in the coming months,  however,
supported  by the continued  weakness in the  yen, and hence  we have maintained
some exposure to the sector in the portfolio.
 
   Areas that  contributed  positively  to the  Fund's  performance  during  the
November-through-April  period  include its  consumer-related  holdings. Japan's
consumer-oriented companies have benefited from  the broad recovery in  domestic
consumption,  which has  led to improved  earnings and higher  share prices. Our
outlook on the  consumer sector remains  positive, and companies  that stand  to
benefit  from this growth represent a  significant portion of the Fund's assets.
We believe that there are particularly attractive values to be found in  retail,
restaurant  and  other  service-related  companies  currently,  and  the  Fund's
holdings include what we consider to be among the most promising.
 
   We remain upbeat on the general prospects of Japan's over-the-counter  stocks
as  well. The Bank of Japan continues  to pursue a benign monetary policy, which

* The Fund's respective 1-year  and since-inception (on 9/30/94) average  annual
total  returns through 3/31/96 were 18.91% and -4.31%, respectively. Returns are
historical and include change in share  price and reinvestment of dividends  and
capital  gains. Past  performance cannot  guarantee future  results. Returns and
share price  will fluctuate,  and redemption  value  may be  more or  less  than
original  cost.  International  investing entails  special  risk considerations,
including currency fluctuations, lower liquidity, economic and political  risks,
and  differences in  accounting methods.  There are  also risks  associated with
investing in Japan, including the risk  of investing in a single- country  fund.
The  Fund has a 1% redemption fee, payable to the Fund, on shares held less that

is favorable for sustained  economic growth and for  share prices. In  addition,
earnings for OTC companies remain strong vs. those of larger Japanese companies,
which  may lead  to increasing  investor attention  for these  securities in the
months ahead.

WARBURG PINCUS EMERGING MARKETS FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 1996
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Emerging Markets Fund (the 'Fund') is  growth
of  capital. The  Fund is a  non-diversified investment  management company that
invests primarily  in  equity securities  of  companies in  emerging  securities
markets around the world.
 
   For  the six months ended April 30, 1996,  the Fund gained 23.29%, vs. a gain
of 13.42% in the Lipper Emerging Markets Fund Index.
 
   Emerging markets enjoyed a  broad recovery in the  first four months of  1996
after  a generally lackluster performance in  1995. The Fund benefited from this
resurgence and  from the  particular strength  shown by  Asian-Pacific  emerging
markets, which comprise the largest portion of the Fund's assets. As detailed in
previous  communications, the Fund's emphasis on these markets reflects our view
that their long-term  growth prospects  are superior,  in general,  to those  of
other  emerging markets  (e.g., those of  Latin America or  Eastern Europe), due
largely to Asian-Pacific  economies' high savings  and investment rates.  Asian-
Pacific  countries  also  typically  have  better  government  policies,  from a
business and  investment  perspective, and  more  stable currencies  than  other
developing countries, which further increases their attractiveness.
 
   The Fund's Asian-Pacific emphasis remained most heavily concentrated in South
Korea  and Taiwan  through the six  months (the countries  represented 17.4% and
11.1%, respectively, of the Fund's net  assets through April). Both markets  saw
strong  gains  in  the  month  of  April  after  posting  disappointing  results
year-to-date through March. In South Korea's case this rebound was  attributable
largely  to  a favorable  response  from foreign  investors  to its  decision to
further open its stock market (effective April 1, foreign investors can own  18%
of  a listed South Korean company, up  from 15% previously); in Taiwan's case it
was  due  to  the  successful  completion  of  the  country's  first  democratic
presidential  election in March.  We continue to find  good companies selling at
attractive valuations  in  both  countries,  hence  we  continue  to  give  each
significant weighting in the portfolio.
 
   Elsewhere,  the Fund saw strong performance  from its weightings in Indonesia
and India, which represented 6.4% and 9.0%, respectively, of the portfolio as of
April 30. The Fund's Indonesian stocks showed particularly strong performance in
the first quarter, and we took significant profits following those strong gains.
We remain committed to India, a market  that we believe holds much promise:  the
country's  path toward economic  reform appears likely  to continue, despite the
failure of the recent general election to provide a clear mandate for either  of
the
 
                                       7
 
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
country's  two  major  political  parties;  and  equity  valuations  remain very
attractive relative to those of other emerging markets.
 
   In Latin America, the  Fund's primary focus  is on the  markets of Chile  and
Argentina, which each represented 6.60% of the Fund on April 30. We believe that
both markets remain attractive, and that the Fund's specific holdings are strong
companies with attractive valuations and favorable prospects.
 
   In  other regions, we are finding attractive opportunities in both Africa and
the Middle  East. Elsewhere,  the Fund  has benefited  from recent  strength  in
Eastern Europe, specifically in Hungary, though we believe that opportunities in
the region may be more limited over the remainder of the year.

WARBURG PINCUS POST-VENTURE CAPITAL FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 1996
 
   The  objective of  Warburg Pincus Post-Venture  Capital Fund  (the 'Fund') is
long-term growth  of  capital.  The  Fund pursues  its  objective  by  investing
primarily  in equity securities of companies deemed to be in their post-venture-
capital stage of development.
 
   For the six months ended April 30,  1996, the Fund gained 63.42%, vs. a  gain
of 11.22% in the Lipper Growth Fund Index.
 
   The  Fund's  significant  outperformance  of  its  benchmark  for  the period
reflects generally strong  performance among  the Fund's  more heavily  weighted
sectors,  and timely stock  selection within those  sectors. The Fund's heaviest
emphasis through the period was concentrated  in three broad areas: health  care
(23.5% of the portfolio as of April 30), computers (20.4%) and business services
(12.9%),  and  a  large number  of  the  Fund's holdings  within  these segments
generated superior, in  some cases  exceptional, gains relative  to the  broader
market.  The Fund also saw  strong performance from a  number of its holdings in
other market  sectors,  most  notably  in  the  electronics  and  pharmaceutical
segments,  which combined  accounted for  12.8% of the  portfolio at  the end of
April. We  believe  that the  prospects  of  the Fund's  securities  remain,  in
general,  very  favorable, and  that the  portfolio  is well-positioned  for the
coming months.
 
   We remain  similarly  positive on  the  long-term prospects  of  post-venture
companies  collectively. (We define these companies  as those that have received
venture-capital financing either during the  early stages of their existence  or
in the early stages of the development of a new product or service, or that have
received  such financing  as part  of a  restructuring or  recapitalization.) We
believe that venture-capital participation can lead to growth rates in  earnings
and  revenues  above those  of  companies that  lacked  such financing,  and are
encouraged by a recent major study* that reached similar conclusions.
 
   We would  caution  investors, however,  that  investing in  these  securities
entails  potential risks as well as rewards. Because of the nature of the Fund's
investments and certain strategies it may use, an investment in the Fund  should
be considered only for the aggressive portion of an investor's portfolio and may
not  be appropriate  for all investors.  Investors should  review the prospectus
carefully before purchase.

WARBURG PINCUS JAPAN GROWTH FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 1996
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Japan  Growth Fund (the 'Fund') is  long-term
growth  of capital. The Fund is  a non-diversified management investment company
that pursues  its  objective by  investing  primarily in  equity  securities  of
Japanese issuers that present attractive opportunities for growth. Under current
market  conditions  the  Fund  intends  to invest  at  least  80%  of  its total
assets -- but will  invest no less  than 65% of its  assets under normal  market
conditions  --  in  common  and preferred  stocks,  warrants  and  other rights,
securities convertible  into  or exchangeable  for  common stocks  and  American
Depository Receipts (ADRs) of Japanese issuers.
 
   For  the four  months ended  April 30,  1996 (the  Fund's inception  date was
December 29, 1995), the Fund gained 7.80%  vs. a 7.59% gain in the Lipper  Japan
Funds Average.
 
   The  Fund benefited from its real-estate  holdings and the performance of its
over-the-counter (OTC)  issues  during  the period;  the  OTC  market  generally
escaped  much of the carnage  wrought among many larger  stocks in January. Also
fortuitous was the  Fund's heavy weighting  in capital spending  as well as  its
light  stake in bank issues. And the Fund's holdings in Honda and several of its
component suppliers  were especially  beneficial,  as the  company is  having  a
banner year.
 
   The   Fund   was  somewhat   disadvantaged  by   its  concentration   in  the
semiconductor-related sector.  Companies in  this sector  performed strongly  in
1995,  when the weighting  was a benefit. Semiconductor  stocks fared poorly vs.
other sectors through April 1996, however, and the high exposure was a handicap.
We  subsequently  cut  back  our  semiconductor-related  holdings  in  May.   An
additional  brake  on the  Fund's  performance was  its  holdings in  the retail
sector  --  the  segment  slumped  in  April  when  inclement  weather  led   to
disappointing  clothing  sales.  Retail recovered  from  this dip  in  late May,
however, and we are maintaining our retail-related investments.
 
   One factor  that  potentially  weakened the  Fund's  semiannual  results  was
unrelated  to how its components fared. Rather,  the issue was the Fund's launch
date. Its inception on the  last business day of last  year meant that the  Fund
was  not fully invested when the Japanese market surged on the very first day of
trading in 1996. Had its investments  been more fully developed, the Fund  would
likely have outperformed the Lipper Japan Funds Average by more than it did.
 
   According  to recently released figures, the  Japanese economy grew 3% in the
March quarter  from  the  previous three-month  period,  surpassing  economists'
expectations  of 1.2% growth.  These data notwithstanding,  some analysts remain
pessimistic about Japan's  long-term economic recovery,  which they perceive  as
faltering.  We  disagree  with  this perception,  however,  and  continue  to be
 
                                       10

extremely optimistic  about the  country's  economic health.  The  macroeconomic
figures  in general remain  sturdy, in our  opinion. April industrial production
was in line with forecasts, up 3.9% month-over-month, while inventories declined
more than expected, down 0.8% in the same period.
 
   We believe that some  analysts are gloomy  about Japan's near-term  prospects
because  the country's economy is in the  midst of formal deregulation, and this
process remains  slow. What  these analysts  are perhaps  missing is  that  many
companies  are  finding  ways  to  side-step  obstacles  and  take  advantage of
opportunities within the economy. In particular, myriad smaller companies in the
rapidly expanding OTC market are benefiting from the country's ongoing  changes.
Moreover,   with  the  Bank  of  Japan  still  anticipating  a  weaker  economy,
interest-rate hikes, if there  are any, should be  modest, and this will  likely
benefit the stock market.

WARBURG PINCUS SMALL COMPANY VALUE FUND
SEMIANNUAL REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 21, 1996
 
   Warburg  Pincus Small Company Value Fund (the 'Fund') seeks long-term capital
appreciation by  investing primarily  in  a portfolio  of equity  securities  of
small-capitalization companies that are considered to be relatively undervalued.
 
   For  the four  months ended  April 30,  1996 (the  Fund's inception  date was
December 29, 1995), the Fund gained 26.20%  vs. a gain of 10.72% in the  Russell
2000  Index. It is often the case that a fund outperforms to this extent because
a single sector within it flourishes in a given period. Through April 30 of this
year, however,  no one  industry sector  stood  out as  a leader.  Rather,  many
individual stocks within the various sectors did well.
 
   The  Fund  focuses  on  buying  the  stocks  of  companies  that  have market
capitalizations (the value of all  outstanding stock) below $1 billion.  Because
the  companies are small,  their stocks are  not widely followed  by Wall Street
analysts.  Investors,  for  the  most  part,  are  therefore  unaware  of  these
small-capitalization  companies. This kind of  company thus remains undervalued,
its share price ill-matched to its actual worth. We consider adding a stock  the
the  Fund  when our  research  reveals that  it has  met  our criteria  of being
undervalued  and  having  promising   prospects.  Any  subsequent  increase   in
analytical  coverage of that stock is usually beneficial to the Fund, as it will
likely pique investor interest.
 
   Through April of this year the average capitalization of the stocks we bought
for the Fund was  about $180 million, well  below our established ceiling.  This
meant  that many of these securities,  orbiting even farther off analysts' radar
screens than somewhat higher-cap  stocks might, captured  the attention of  even
fewer  investors -- and  were especially undervalued.  The Fund benefited during
the period as the  potential of these stocks  became increasingly recognized  in
the marketplace.
 
   The  Fund has performed well to date.  This brief period of performance is no
guarantee of how the Fund may perform in the future. Despite a thorough analysis
of a company and its addition to our portfolio, ultimately, other investors must
also recognize  the  stock's intrinsic  value  and then  invest  in it.  We  are
inclined  to invest  early, recognizing  that we  must be  prepared to  give our
investments time to perform. By the same token, should a stock attain our target
price, even if it does  so more swiftly than expected,  we likely will sell  it.
Such is the value discipline.

WARBURG PINCUS EQUITY FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 1996 (Unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   The  Warburg  Pincus Equity  Funds are  comprised  of Warburg  Pincus Capital
Appreciation  Fund   (the   'Capital   Appreciation   Fund'),   Warburg   Pincus
International  Equity  Fund (the  'International  Equity Fund'),  Warburg Pincus
Post-Venture Capital Fund (the 'Post-Venture  Capital Fund') and Warburg  Pincus
Small  Company Value Fund (the 'Small  Company Value Fund') which are registered
under the  Investment Company  Act of  1940,  as amended  (the '1940  Act'),  as
diversified,  open-end  management  investment  companies,  and  Warburg  Pincus
Emerging Growth Fund (the 'Emerging Growth Fund'), Warburg Pincus Japan OTC Fund
(the 'Japan  OTC Fund'),  Warburg Pincus  Emerging Markets  Fund (the  'Emerging
Markets  Fund') and Warburg Pincus Japan  Growth Fund (the 'Japan Growth Fund'),
together with the Capital Appreciation Fund, the International Equity Fund,  the
Post-Venture  Capital Fund,  the Emerging Growth  Fund, the Japan  OTC Fund, the
Emerging Markets Fund and the Small  Company Value Fund, the 'Funds') which  are
registered under the 1940 Act as non-diversified, open-end management investment
companies.
 
   Investment  objectives for each Fund are as follows: the Capital Appreciation
Fund, the International Equity  Fund, the Japan OTC  Fund and the Small  Company
Value  Fund seek long-term capital appreciation;  the Emerging Growth Fund seeks
maximum capital appreciation; the  Emerging Markets Fund  and Japan Growth  Fund
seek  growth of capital; the Post-Venture Capital Fund seeks long-term growth 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 such Fund, except
that they bear different expenses which  reflect the difference in the range  of
services  provided to them. Common  Shares for the Japan  OTC Fund, the Emerging
Markets Fund, the Post-Venture Capital Fund, the Japan Growth Fund and the Small
Company Value Fund bear  expenses paid pursuant to  a shareholder servicing  and
distribution  plan adopted by each Fund at an  annual rate not to exceed .25% of
the average daily  net asset  value of  each Fund's  outstanding Common  Shares.
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 Common and the
Advisor Shares are currently bearing expenses of .25% and .50% of average  daily
net assets, respectively.
 
   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 Funds do  not isolate  that portion of
gains and losses on investments in equity securities which are due to changes in
the foreign exchange rate from that which are due to changes in market prices of
equity securities.  The  Funds isolate  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 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 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 and  distributions  of  net realized
capital gains, if any, are declared and paid 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  and make  the requisite
distributions to its shareholders  which will be sufficient  to relieve it  from
Federal income and excise taxes.
 
   Costs  incurred  by  the  Japan  OTC Fund,  the  Emerging  Markets  Fund, the
Post-Venture Capital Fund,  the Japan Growth  Fund and the  Small Company  Value
Fund   in  connection  with  their  organization  have  been  deferred  and  are

being amortized over a period  of five years from  the date each Fund  commenced
its operations.
 
   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 International Equity Fund, the Japan OTC Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund,
the Post-Venture Capital Fund, the Japan Growth Fund and the Small Company Value
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 International Equity Fund, the Japan OTC Fund and the
Japan Growth Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:

5. EQUITY SWAP TRANSACTIONS
   The International Equity Fund  (the 'Fund') entered  into a Taiwanese  equity
swap  agreement (which represents approximately .41% of the Fund's net assets at
April 30,  1996) dated  August 11,  1995, where  the Fund  receives a  quarterly
payment,  representing  the total  return  (defined as  market  appreciation and
dividend income) on a basket of three Taiwanese common stocks ('Common Stocks').
In return, the  Fund pays  quarterly the  Libor rate  (London Interbank  Offered
Rate),  plus 1.25% per annum  (6.508% on April 30, 1996)  on the market value of
the Common  Stocks  ('Notional  amount') which  is  currently  $10,512,575.  The
Notional  amount is marked to market on  each quarterly reset date. In the event
that the  Common Stocks  decline in  value, the  Fund will  be required  to  pay
quarterly, the amount of any depreciation in value from the notional amount. The
equity swap agreement will terminate on August 11, 1996.
 
   During  the term of the equity swap  transaction, changes in the value of the
Common Stocks as  compared to the  Notional amount is  recognized as  unrealized
gain  or  loss.  Dividend income  for  the  Common Stocks  are  recorded  on the
ex-dividend date. Interest expense is accrued daily. At April 30, 1996, the Fund
has recorded an unrealized gain of  $3,166,123 and interest payable of  $148,230
on the equity swap transaction.
