WARBURG PINCUS CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 16, 1998
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Capital Appreciation Fund (the 'Fund') is
long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in a broadly
diversified portfolio of equity securities of domestic companies. The Fund
attempts to identify sectors of the market and companies within market sectors
that it believes will outperform the overall market.
   Effective March 6, 1998, George U. Wyper, who left Warburg Pincus Asset
Management to start his own investment firm, no longer serves as a Co-Portfolio
Manager of the Fund. Susan L. Black, previously Co-Portfolio Manager of the
Fund, now serves as the Fund's Portfolio Manager, also effective March 6. The
Fund's investment disciplines have not changed.
 
MANAGER COMMENTARY
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund gained 20.03%, vs. returns
of 22.47% for the S&P 500 Index* and 18.15% for the Lipper Growth Funds Index.**
The Fund's one-year return through April 30 was 41.66%. Its five-year, 10-year
and since-inception (on August 17, 1987) average annual total returns were
22.85%, 17.52% and 15.24%, respectively.
   The Fund registered a solid return for the six months, buoyed by continued
favorable sentiment toward the domestic stock market in general and by good
performances from its financial, transportation and pharmaceutical stocks in
particular. Stocks that weighed on the Fund's performance were, primarily, its
energy issues, which were hampered by declining oil prices.
   We remained overweighted in the financial area during the period, reflecting
our favorable view of the longer-term prospects for financial stocks
collectively. These issues stand to benefit from several compelling trends, not
the least of which is a torrent of merger and acquisition activity within the
industry. We believe this trend will remain strong, with financial companies
continuing to rely on such activity to reduce costs and expand product lines.
Other factors behind our optimism include demographic trends, specifically a
rapidly maturing population. As baby boomers continue to age, demand for
financial products and services, already strong, should only increase, in large

part to meet looming retirement needs. We believe the types of insurance and
asset-management companies held by the Fund stand to particularly benefit from
this trend over the longer term.
   Elsewhere, we made a few noteworthy adjustments to our sector weightings
during the period. These included raising our exposure to the health-care area,
where we were underweighted at the start of the period, since we viewed such
stocks as generally expensive. We found several buying opportunities as the
period progressed, however, and selectively added medical-devices, managed-care
and hospital issues to the Fund. We also increased our weighting in the
pharmaceutical sector. Our focus here remained on large-cap stocks of companies
with relatively strong drug pipelines.
   We also increased our weighting in the technology area during the period. We
added several computer stocks we deemed to represent growth at a reasonable
price, including both software and hardware names. We did maintain limited
exposure to electronics companies (e.g., semiconductor manufacturers), due to a
generally clouded earnings environment.
   One area we de-emphasized during the period was the energy industry. Our
decreased weighting here reflects both profit-taking in specific issues and our
general concern that a potentially slowing economy will weigh further on energy
prices going forward. That said, at the end of the period we held several energy
stocks we deemed to be attractively priced in the oil-production and
oil-services areas.
   Our sector adjustments elsewhere were relatively minor. We maintained modest
positions in a broad range of industries, including the telecommunications,
chemicals and media areas.
   Looking ahead to the next several months, we expect to maintain a bias toward
less-cyclical industries, such as the financial area, at least as long as Asia's
crisis stands to have a significantly dampening impact on the U.S. economy.

WARBURG PINCUS EMERGING GROWTH FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                   June 16, 1998
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Emerging Growth Fund (the 'Fund') is maximum
capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in
stocks of emerging-growth companies (defined as small- or medium-sized companies
that have passed their start-up phase, show positive earnings and are deemed to
have prospects of achieving significant profit and gains in share price in a
relatively short period of time) that represent attractive opportunities for
maximum capital appreciation.
 
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a total return of
15.13%, vs. returns of 10.21% for the Lipper Small Cap Funds Index,* 9.95% for
the Russell 2000 Growth Index,** and 22.47% for the S&P 500 Index.*** The Fund's
one-year return through April 30 was 46.96%. Its 10-year and since-inception (on
January 21, 1998) average annual total returns through April 30 were 18.19% and
18.60%, respectively.
 
   The reporting period saw healthy gains, in general, for the types of stocks
in which the Fund invests. Supporting the group were these companies' continued
strong earnings vs. those of larger companies, and their relatively attractive
valuations. One factor that weighed on the stocks' performance, though, at least
in relative terms, was concern sparked by the Asian financial crisis, which came
to a head last October. Asia's difficulties triggered a 'flight to quality'
mentality on the part of many U.S. investors, with 'quality' here defined as
large-cap, blue-chip stocks. That bias eased somewhat but ultimately remained in
place through the reporting period, with the net result being a solid
performance for smaller-company stocks but one that lagged that of large-cap
issues.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   Set against this backdrop, Warburg Pincus Emerging Growth Fund had a good
showing vs. its peer group and most small-cap benchmarks for the six months,
reflecting strong gains in a number of the Fund's holdings. By sector, some of
the best performers for the Fund were its financial stocks, which benefited from
a favorable interest-rate environment, strong earnings growth and merger and
acquisition activity. Financials, including both banks and savings and loans and
diversified financial-services companies (e.g., insurers and asset-management
firms), constituted a significant portion of the portfolio through the six
months (approximately 10% of net assets at April 30, 1998), reflecting our
belief that the sector holds some very attractive investment opportunities.
 
   Another area of strength, as well as concentration, for the Fund during the
period was business services. This category comprises a broad array of
companies, ranging from temporary-staffing concerns to data-processing
providers. What unites these businesses is their ability to provide Corporate
America (and, increasingly, overseas companies as well) the means to effectively
lower costs and increase productivity. Business services has been a long-running
theme in the Fund (these stocks represented 11.20% of net assets as of April 30,
1998), and one we expect to continue to emphasize.
 
   A third source of strength for the Fund was the technology area. Though the
sector struggled early in the reporting period on Asia-related concerns, it
bounced back strongly in the latter part of the period, with the Fund a direct
beneficiary. Particularly strong performers here for the Fund were its
software-related stocks, which comprised a significant portion of our overall
exposure. Like business services, technology has long figured prominently in our
strategy (the Fund's combined technology exposure represented approximately 17%
of its net assets at April 30, 1998), given what we consider to be the abundance
of long-term growth opportunities.
 
   The Fund saw gains from holdings in other sectors as well, including health
care, leisure and entertainment and retail. One area that hurt the Fund was
energy. While not a huge weighting for the Fund -- energy-related stocks
accounted for approximately 6% of net assets as of April 30, 1998 -- almost any
exposure to the sector was a liability during the period, as most of these
stocks fell on concerns over falling oil prices and additional supply/demand
worries. This weakness notwithstanding, we continue to see good opportunity in
the energy area, especially in selected oil-services companies, thus the Fund
continues to have exposure.

   Looking ahead, our outlook on the prospects for emerging-growth companies
through the remainder of 1998 and beyond remains positive. These companies
continue to generate rapid earnings growth, both in absolute terms and relative
to larger, S&P 500-type companies, and their stock valuations range from
reasonable to very attractive. Set against this backdrop, we will continue our
efforts to identify those companies with the best potential for long-term
growth.

WARBURG PINCUS POST-VENTURE CAPITAL FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 16, 1998
 
   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 considered to be in their post-
venture-capital stage of development.
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a return of 16.58%, vs.
a return of 9.95% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index.* The Fund's one-year return
through April 30 was 42.77%. Its since-inception (on September 29, 1995) average
annual total return was 32.03%.
   The period was a positive, albeit volatile, one for the types of stocks
targeted by the Fund, i.e., stocks of relatively young companies within the
rapidly growing industries favored by venture capitalists (e.g., the software,
biotechnology and communications industries). These issues struggled early in
the period, largely due to an Asia-related 'flight to safety' that placed a
premium on large-cap, highly liquid stocks. Sentiment toward small-cap and
high-growth companies dramatically improved over the second half of the period,
however, spurred by growing recognition of these companies' strong earnings
gains vs. those of large companies and their stocks' relatively attractive
valuations. The Fund benefit from this improved sentiment, and from good stock
selection generally.
   We made few noteworthy changes to the Fund's industry exposure during the
reporting period. We maintained a large presence in the technology area, where
venture capital continues to account for a critical share of research &
development spending aimed at discovering potentially lucrative breakthrough
products and services. Indeed, according to a recent study,** R&D spending by
venture-backed companies is growing at a rate about three times that of Fortune
500 companies. In terms of specific strategies, we emphasized domestically
oriented technology companies, given the relatively difficult pricing
environment faced by many export-dependent companies.
   Elsewhere, we maintained a significant weighting in the telecommunications &
equipment sector during the period. We believe this area will continue to
benefit from an ever-expanding Internet, ongoing worldwide deregulation of the
telecommunications industry and a high

degree of innovation generally. Our holdings during the period included Paging
Network. The company, a recipient of venture-capital financing in its start-up
phase, went public in 1991 and currently owns and operates the most extensive
wireless communications network in the U.S.
   The rest of the Fund remained invested across a wide range of sectors,
including the financial, business-services, health-care and communications &
media areas. We also maintained a position in consumer-type stocks, where our
largest area of concentration at the end of the period was the leisure &
entertainment sector. This area increasingly stands to benefit from a maturing
population's growing levels of discretionary income, a trend that has not gone
unnoticed by venture-capital investors.
   Going forward, our outlook on the collective prospects for stocks of post-
venture companies (which we define as those that have received venture-capital
financing either during the early stages of the company's existence or the
development of a new product or service, or as part of a restructuring or
recapitalization -- the investment of venture-capital financing, distribution of
securities to venture-capital investors or initial public offering, whichever is
later, having been made within 10 years of the Fund's investment) remains
positive, and our efforts will continue to be devoted to identifying those with
the best long-term growth potential. We would caution investors, however, that
investing in venture-backed companies entails potential risks (e.g., that of
heightened volatility) along with the potential for significant long-term
rewards. Because of the nature of the Fund's holdings and certain strategies it
may use, an investment in the Fund should only be considered 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 SMALL COMPANY VALUE FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISERS' REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 16, 1998
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Small Company Value Fund (the 'Fund') is
long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of
equity securities of small-capitalization companies that are believed to be
relatively undervalued. The Fund considers a 'small' company to be one that has
a market capitalization, measured at the time the Fund purchases a security of
that company, within the range of capitalizations of companies represented in
the Russell 2000 Index.* As of January 31, 1998, the Russell 2000 Index included
companies with market capitalizations between $23.7 million and $2.7 billion.
   Effective March 6, 1998, George U. Wyper, who left Warburg Pincus Asset
Management to start his own investment firm, no longer serves as a Co-Portfolio
Manager of the Fund. Kyle F. Frey, previously Associate Portfolio Manager and
Research Analyst of the Fund, now serves as the Fund's Portfolio Manager, also
effective March 6. The Fund's investment disciplines have not changed.
 
MANAGER COMMENTARY
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund gained 5.85%, vs. a gain of
11.88% for the Russell 2000 Index. The Fund's one-year return through April 30
was 32.98%. Its since-inception (on December 29, 1995) average annual total
return was 34.76%, vs. a return of 21.58% for its benchmark.
   Small-cap stocks collectively were good performers for the six months in
absolute terms, though they continued to lag their large-cap brethren. Their
underperformance of large caps is mostly attributable to the November-
through-January span, when investors voted overwhelmingly in favor of
larger-capitalization stocks against a backdrop of considerable Asia-related
market volatility. In this context, the Fund's bias toward the smaller end of
the small-cap area proved to be a particular liability (the Fund's average
market-cap, which we raised during the period, nonetheless remained
significantly below that of its benchmark throughout).
   The Fund was also hampered by its limited exposure to the strong-performing
technology area, where stocks generally remained expensive by our investment
criteria. Another factor behind the Fund's underperformance was its lack of
utility stocks. These issues, comprising roughly 10% of the Fund's benchmark,
were good performers for the six months, buoyed by a favorable interest-rate
environment. In our view, small-cap utilities remained

unattractive from a cash-flow perspective, thus we continued to avoid them in
favor of what we deemed to be more-attractive stocks.
   The Fund's largest area of concentration during the period remained the
financial industry. We continued to find a large number of financial stocks we
deemed to be fundamentally undervalued, primarily in the insurance area, though
we found selected value in the banking sector as well. Our financial holdings
aided the Fund's return for the period, supported in part by a benign
inflationary backdrop.
   Another significant weighting for the Fund was the transportation sector, one
we raised as the period progressed. We added several trucking companies that we
viewed as particularly attractive against a supportive backdrop of declining
fuel prices and a strong economy.
   Elsewhere, we maintained exposure to a broad range of industries, including
the building & building materials, real-estate, retail and industrial areas. One
name we added from the last group during the period was Inland Steel Industries.
We established the position in February believing that management, spurred by
shareholder activism, would act to revive the stock, which had been a laggard
among steel stocks generally, despite Inland's significant asset base. As it
happened, Ispat International, a European steel company, agreed to acquire
Inland's steel-making division in March. This had a favorable impact on the
stock's performance, and exemplifies the type of investment opportunities we
seek. In general, we look for companies that stand to benefit from improving
business fundamentals that also have solid underlying asset values and cash
flows (to potentially limit downside risk).
   Looking ahead to the balance of 1998, we believe several factors stand to
improve the relative performance of small-cap stocks. Foremost among these is
the group's valuations vs. those of large caps, which are now at historically
compelling levels, particularly in terms of price-to-book and price-to-sales
measures. This should prompt investors to diversify further into small caps to a
potentially significant degree. In this context, we will continue to seek out
underfollowed and beaten-down small-cap stocks that have what we deem to be the
best longer-term prospects.

WARBURG PINCUS HEALTH SCIENCES FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 16, 1998
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Health Sciences Fund (the 'Fund') is capital
appreciation. The Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its assets in equity
securities of health science companies, and under normal market conditions will
invest at least 65% of its assets in equity and debt securities of health
sciences companies. In our view, such companies can be separated into four major
categories: (1) buyers, most notably health-maintenance organizations (HMOs);
(2) providers, including doctors, group practices, hospitals, nursing homes and
retailers; (3) suppliers, including pharmaceutical, equipment and devices; and
(4) innovators, including biotechnology, gene therapy and drug-delivery systems.
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a total return of
24.64%, vs. returns of 13.94% for the Lipper Health/Biotechnology Funds Index*
and 22.47% for the S&P 500 Index.** The Fund's one-year return as of April 30
was 55.10%. Its since-inception (on December 31, 1996) average annual total
return was 37.16%.
   We focused primarily on health-care suppliers throughout the reporting
period. The bulk of our exposure here was in large-cap pharmaceutical companies,
whose stocks rose strongly over the six months, buoyed by continued significant
profit growth and the ongoing launch of promising new drugs. Our other holdings
in the suppliers area, which included a few medical-equipment stocks, also
contributed positively to the Fund's November-through-April return.
   Our second largest area of concentration during the period was providers,
where our exposure included a significant position in health-care retailers.
These stocks helped the Fund's performance for the six months thanks in large
measure to favorable sales reports with respect to both pharmaceutical and
'front end' products (e.g., non-prescription drugs and personal-health-care
items). Elsewhere in the providers category, our holdings in the nursing home,
hospital and rehabilitative areas also saw good performances.
   We held an underweighting in the buyers category during the period, which
helped the Fund's return, given the group's underperformance vs. health-care
stocks broadly. We did, however, modestly raise our exposure to

the category as the period progressed, adding several managed-care stocks we
deemed to be attractively priced.
   We had a limited weighting in the innovators area throughout the period,
believing most stocks to be expensive on a risk-vs.-reward basis. That said, we
found a few issues we deemed to have good longer-term prospects, mostly
biopharmaceutical stocks of small companies strategically allied with large-cap
drug companies. Our light weighting in the innovators category proved beneficial
to the Fund's performance for the six months, as such stocks collectively lagged
the broader health-care market.
   Looking ahead, we continue to see very attractive long-term investment
potential in the health-care industry. Reasons for our optimism are several.
Foremost among these is a rapidly aging population (the 40- to 60-year-old
population, for example, is projected to rise by more than 10 million by 2005),
which stands to fuel a significant increase in health-care expenditures. In
addition, we believe the continued launch of innovative products (e.g.,
treatments for currently incurable diseases) will boost health-care demand
significantly beyond the increase suggested by demographics alone. Set within
this environment, we will continue to strive to identify health-care stocks with
the best long-term prospects. We would caution investors, however, that since
the Fund focuses its investments on companies involved in the health sciences,
an investment in the Fund may involve a greater degree of risk than an
investment in other mutual funds that seek capital appreciation by investing in
a broader mix of issuers.

WARBURG PINCUS SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 16, 1998
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Small Company Growth Fund (the 'Fund') is
capital growth. The Fund pursues its objective by investing in equity securities
of small-sized domestic companies. The Fund considers a 'small' company to be
one that has a market capitalization, measured at the time the Fund purchases a
security of that company, within the range of capitalizations of companies
represented in the Russell 2000 Index. (As of January 31, 1998, the Russell 2000
Index included companies with the market capitalizations between $23.7 million
and $2.7 billion.)
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a total return of
10.17%, vs. returns of 9.96% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index* and 10.22% for
the Lipper Small Cap Funds Index.** The Fund's one-year return through April 30
was 50.96%. Its since-inception (on December 29, 1996) average annual total
return through April 30 was 25.25%.
   The reporting period saw solid gains, in general, for the type of smaller-
company, growth-oriented stocks in which the Fund invests. Supporting the group
were these companies' continued strong earnings, both in absolute terms and
relative to larger companies, and the stocks' relatively attractive valuations.
One factor that weighed on the group's performance, though, at least in relative
terms, was concern stemming from the Asian financial crisis. Asia's difficulties
triggered a general 'flight to quality' among investors, which worked to the
advantage of large-cap, blue-chip stocks at the expense of smaller issues. The
net result was solid gains for smaller-company stocks, albeit gains that lagged
those of large-cap, S&P 500-type companies.
   Set against this environment, Warburg Pincus Small Company Growth Fund
managed a healthy gain for the period. In terms of performance attribution, the
Fund benefited from strong showings from holdings in a number of areas,
particularly business services, technology and financial services. At the other
end of the spectrum, performance-wise, were the Fund's energy and oil-services
stocks, which were hurt by concerns related to falling oil prices and additional
supply/demand worries.

   There were few significant changes in the Fund during the six months in terms
of its sector concentrations. The portfolio remained broadly diversified
throughout, with slight overweightings in the consumer and business-services
areas. This reflected our ability to find attractive opportunities across a
range of industries, as well as our desire to temper the Fund's volatility by
avoiding overconcentration in any one area.
   Looking ahead, our outlook on the prospects for small-cap growth stocks
remains largely positive, although investors' general bias toward large-cap
issues may limit the group's relative showing in the immediate term. Still,
based on trailing and projected profits, small caps' valuations now look more
attractive vs. those of large-cap issues than they have in well over a decade.
This should, ultimately, draw increasing amounts of investor attention to the
small-cap arena in the coming months, which stands to be reflected in much-
improved relative performance. All told, we remain optimistic, and will continue
to strive to identify those companies with the best prospects for capital
growth.

WARBURG PINCUS STRATEGIC VALUE FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 16, 1998
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Strategic Value Fund (the 'Fund') is capital
appreciation. The Fund invests in companies and market sectors that are
considered to be relatively undervalued. The Fund may hold securities of
companies of any size, including securities of companies with market
capitalizations of less than $500 million.
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a gain of 12.95%, vs. a
return of 22.47% for the S&P 500 Index. The Fund's one-year return through April
30 was 30.95%. Its since-inception (on December 31, 1996) average annual total
return was 22.26%.
   The period was a strong one for the U.S. stock market as a whole, supported
by a continued healthy economy, benign inflation and declining interest rates.
Against this favorable backdrop, most major stock indexes posted double-digit
gains. The Fund benefited from this strength, and from good showings from its
technology and health-care stocks in particular. On the negative side,
performance-wise, the Fund was hampered by its significant exposure to mid-cap
stocks (and, to a more-limited extent, small-cap issues). These lagged the
large-cap, blue-chip-type issues that once again paced the market's advance. We
continued to largely avoid such issues in favor of stocks we deemed to have
more-attractive valuations from across the market-capitalization spectrum.
   In terms of industry/sector exposure, we maintained an overweighting in the
technology area, with a primary emphasis on computer stocks. We viewed a number
of these as attractively priced, selling at significant discounts to their
respective companies' underlying growth rates. Elsewhere in the technology area,
we increased our exposure to electronics stocks (e.g., semiconductor issues). We
took advantage of Asia-related weakness in the group to selectively add to our
position.
   Other noteworthy industry weightings included the health-care area, where our
focus remained on pharmaceutical companies with relatively strong new-drug
pipelines. We also had a significant weighting in the telecommunications &
equipment area, emphasizing companies that stand to particularly benefit from
the long-term growth of the Internet.
   The rest of the Fund was invested across a wide range of industries,
including the consumer, financial, business-services and energy areas. We were
underweighted in the last throughout the six months, due to our near-term
concerns of falling commodity prices generally. This proved beneficial to the
Fund's return, given the group's lagging performance.

SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998

Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 16, 1998
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Growth & Income Fund (the 'Fund') is
long-term growth of capital and income and a reasonable current return. The Fund
pursues its objective by investing primarily in equity securities and seeks to
achieve its income objective by investing in dividend-paying equity securities.
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a gain of 18.24%, vs.
gains of 22.47% for the S&P 500 Index* and 17.07% for the Lipper Growth & Income
Funds Index.** The Fund's one-year return through April 30 was 39.19%. Its
five-year and since inception (on October 6, 1988) average annual total returns
were 16.05% and 15.40%***, respectively.
   The U.S. stock market as a whole had strong performance over the
November-through-April period. Asia-related earnings uncertainties
nothwithstanding, investor sentiment toward equities remained favorable through
the period, supported by a continued healthy economy and subdued inflation. The
Fund benefited from this positive sentiment, and from good performances from its
financial, telecommunications and aerospace holdings in particular. Stocks that
hampered the Fund's return included its energy and tobacco-related holdings,
which lagged the broader market during the period.
   We made few noteworthy changes to the Fund in terms of sector allocation
during the period. We remained well-diversified by industry, seeing little
incentive, from a risk-vs.-reward perspective, to heavily overweight specific
areas, given continued narrow stock valuations across and within sectors. It
should be stressed, however, that sector-management strategies aside, we
continued to employ a strictly bottom-up stock-selection process, one based on a
security's risk-adjusted total-return prospects over the longer term.
   Our noteworthy areas of concentration included the financial-services
industry, a weighting we increased over the course of the period. We found
several attractive buying opportunities here during the six months, mostly in
the insurance area. Elsewhere in the financial industry, we maintained a limited
exposure to banking stocks, since we viewed most as expensive. That

said, we found several issues that we deemed to be attractively priced,
including First Chicago NBD, which we purchased in the wake of its announced
merger with Banc One Corp. In our view, the synergies created by the merger are
significant and should support the stock's long-term performance.
   We also maintained a significant weighting in the consumer area during the
six months. This included exposure to the consumer-durables sector, where our
largest position throughout the period was Chrysler. We also continued to have a
significant weighting in the retail sector. We made a few adjustments here
during the six months, most notably establishing a position in Sears Roebuck and
reducing our position in Wal-Mart, on profit-taking.
   Another noteworthy sector weighting during the period was the capital-
equipment area, where we remained focused on companies with strong cash flows
and good prospects for earnings improvements. Our largest position here at the
end of the period was ITT Industries, a designer and manufacturer of products
used in the automotive, fluid technology and defense & electronics areas.
   Elsewhere of note, we maintained a position in the telecommunications area,
primarily holding stocks of regional Bell operating companies, though we found
what we deemed to be good values in the long-distance area as well.
   The rest of the Fund remained invested across a broad range of industries,
including technology, where we found the best risk-adjusted growth prospects in
the computer sector; health care, where we focused primarily on managed-care
companies with good pricing flexibility and steady enrollment growth; and
energy, where we emphasized stocks of multinational oil producers during the
period.
   Looking ahead to the next several months and beyond, we believe Asia-related
downward earnings revisions will continue to hamper specific issues,
necessitating continued careful stock selection. Set within this environment,
our efforts will remain focused on striving to identify stocks with the most
attractive risk-adjusted total-return potential over the longer term.

WARBURG PINCUS BALANCED FUND
SEMIANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT -- APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:                                                  June 16, 1998
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Balanced Fund (the 'Fund') is maximum total
return through a combination of long-term growth of capital and current income,
consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund pursues its objective by
investing in equity and fixed-income securities.
   Effective May 14, 1998, the equity portion of the Fund focuses on equity
securities of large U.S. companies -- i.e., companies having market
capitalizations within the range of capitalizations of companies represented in
the S&P 500 Index* -- considered to be undervalued. (As of March 31, 1998, the
S&P 500 Index included companies with market capitalizations of between $483
million and $282 billion.) The Fund's original equity strategy used a
multi-manager, multi-sector approach with allocations to both U.S. large- and
small-capitalization stocks as well as international securities. The change in
strategy is intended to create a profile more characteristic of a traditional
balanced fund, which typically has a large capitalization orientation.
   For the six months ended April 30, 1998, the Fund had a total return of
9.23%, vs. gains of 12.27% for the Lipper Balanced Funds Index** and 22.47% for
the S&P 500 Index. The Fund's one-year return through April 30 was 25.26%. Its
five-year and since-inception (on October 6, 1988) average annual total returns
were 15.33% and 13.89%,*** respectively.
   A continued healthy economy, subdued inflation and declining interest rates
lent broad support to domestic financial markets during the six months. Against
this favorable backdrop, equity markets were particularly impressive, with most
indexes posting double-digit gains. The continued rally in stocks was, however,
highly volatile, in part due to an increasingly uncertain earnings environment.
   We kept the bulk of the Fund invested in equities (60.30% of net assets as of
April 30, 1998) throughout the period, where we held a mix of large- and
smaller-cap issues. Though strong performers in absolute terms, the latter
trailed large-cap stocks for the six months, which hampered the Fund's return

vs. that of its peer group, given the Fund's relatively large exposure to small
caps.
   In the fixed-income area, we continued to emphasize high-quality,
intermediate-term issues, since we view the Fund's fixed-income component
primarily as a provider of income and stability rather than as a potential
source of capital appreciation. This cost the Fund in terms of total return for
the period, since the bond market's advance was paced by longer-duration and
lower-quality bonds (due, respectively, to the decline in interest rates and the
buoyant economy). Such an approach is, however, consistent with our desire to
limit both the Fund's interest-rate and credit risk.
   Looking ahead to the rest of the year, there are certainly grounds for
continued optimism regarding financial markets, foremost among them the
potential for a further decline in interest rates. That said, the impact Asia's
still-unsettled situation will have on markets going forward is far from clear,
particularly in terms of the relative prospects for stocks vs. bonds. Set within
this environment, our efforts will continue to be devoted to seeking solid
returns at a relatively low level of volatility.

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 Post-Venture Capital Fund, the Small Company Value Fund, the Health
Sciences Fund, the Small Company Growth Fund, the Strategic Value Fund and the
Balanced 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. Advisor Shares are
currently bearing expenses of .50% of average daily net assets. At April 30,
1998 there were no outstanding Advisor Shares for the Health Sciences Fund or
the Small Company Growth Fund.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
 
   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 the last reported
sales price. If no sales are reported, investments are generally valued at the
mean between the last reported bid and asked 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 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
realized 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 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.
   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 agent 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, if any, are declared and paid annually
(except with respect to the Growth & Income Fund and the Balanced Fund which
dividends, if any, are paid quarterly). 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

distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from
federal income and excise taxes.
   Costs incurred in connection with organization and offering of shares have
been deferred and are being amortized over a period of five years and one year,
respectively, from the date each Fund commenced its operations.
   The Funds, together with other funds advised by Warburg Pincus Asset
Management, Inc., the Funds' investment adviser ('Warburg') (collectively, the
'Warburg Funds'), have established committed and uncommitted lines of credit
facilities with PNC Bank, National Association ('PNC') and an uncommitted line
of credit facility with Deutsche Bank, AG ('Deutsche Bank') for temporary or
emergency purposes primarily relating to unanticipated fund share redemptions.
Effective December 31, 1997, the terms of the committed line of credit with PNC
was amended. 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 .07% per annum on
the average daily balance of the line of credit, which is undisbursed and
uncanceled during the preceding quarter. In addition, the Warburg Funds will pay
interest on borrowings at the bank's base rate plus .45%. Under the terms of the
Uncommitted lines of credit, the Warburg funds will pay interest on borrowings
at the banks base rate plus .55%. Aggregate borrowings for each fund under the
committed and uncommitted lines of credit with PNC may not exceed the lowest of
(a) thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the assets of such fund, for
any Fund that does not invest at least sixty-five percent (65%) of its assets in
international equity or fixed income securities (an 'International Fund') and
twenty-five percent (25%) of the assets of any Fund that is an International
Fund or (b) the maximum amount permitted by such fund's investment policies and
restrictions. Aggregate borrowings for each fund under the uncommitted line of
credit facility with Deutsche Bank may not exceed thirty-three and one-third
percent (33 1/3%) of the net assets of such fund. At April 30, 1998 and during
the six months ended April 30, 1998, the following funds had borrowings under
the line of credit agreement:

   Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, each Fund, along with other Warburg Funds, transfers 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

principal; however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to
the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
   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 six months ended April 30, 1998, the Funds received
credits or reimbursements under this arrangement as follows:

5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
   Each 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. Each
Fund will enter into forward contracts primarily for hedging purposes. 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 or an offsetting position is
entered into. At April 30, 1998, there were no 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 enterings 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. At April 30, 1998,
there were no open futures contracts.

11. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
 
   Many services provided to the Funds and their shareholders by Warburg and
certain of its affiliates (the 'Warburg Service Providers') and the Funds' other
service providers rely on the functioning of their respective computer systems.
Many computer systems cannot distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900, with
resulting potential difficulty in performing various calculations (the 'Year
2000 Issue'). The Year 2000 Issue could potentially have an adverse impact on
the handling of security trades, the payment of interest and dividends, pricing,
account services and other Fund operations.
   The Warburg Service Providers recognize the importance of the Year 2000 Issue
and are taking appropriate steps necessary in preparation for the year 2000. At
this time, there can be no assurance that these steps will be sufficient to
avoid any adverse impact on the Funds nor can there be any assurance that the
Year 2000 Issue will not have an adverse effect on the Funds' investments or on
global markets or economies, generally. In addition, it has been reported that
foreign institutions have made less progress in addressing the Year 2000 Issue
than major U.S. entities, which could adversely effect the Funds' foreign
investments.
   The Warburg Service Providers anticipate that their systems and those of the
Funds' other service providers will be adapted in time for the year 2000. To
further this goal, the Warburg Service Providers have coordinated a plan to
repair, adapt or replace systems that are not year 2000 compliant, and are
seeking to obtain similar representations from the Funds' other major service
providers. The Warburg Service Providers will be monitoring the Year 2000 Issue
in an effort to ensure appropriate preparation.
