Warburg Pincus Balanced Fund
Semiannual Investment Adviser's Report -- April 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 15, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the six months ended April 30, 1999, Warburg Pincus Balanced Fund had a
return of 11.11%, vs. returns of 12.78% for the Lipper Balanced Funds Index,*
22.32% for the S&P 500 Index** and 0.52% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index.*** The fund's one-year return through April 30,
1999 was 7.00%. Its five-year, 10-year and since-inception (on October 6,
1988)**** average annual total returns through April 30, 1999 were 15.47%,
13.39% and 13.26%,***** respectively. Note: Effective December 24, 1998, Dale C.
Christensen no longer serves as Co-Portfolio Manager of the fund. As of that
date, M. Anthony E. van Daalen and Charles C. Van Vleet joined Brian S. Posner
and Scott T. Lewis as the fund's Co-Portfolio Managers.
Manager Commentary
Domestic financial markets had decidedly mixed results during the period.
Most major stock indexes had impressive gains, buoyed by a surprisingly healthy
U.S. economy and investors' increased optimism regarding corporate profits.
Notably, the rally in stocks extended to recently struggling areas, namely
smaller-cap and cyclical stocks (though large-cap growth stocks continued to
pace the market's advance). Most bond indexes, on the other hand, had modest
gains, at best, in terms of total return. Hindering bonds were fears that the
Federal Reserve--which cut interest rates three times between September and
November--would, given the economy's strength, reverse course in order to
contain potential inflation. This sentiment particularly weighed on Treasuries,
with the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond rising 50 basis points to end the
period at 5.65%.
Against this backdrop, the fund had a good return in absolute terms,
performing roughly in line with its Lipper benchmark. The fund's performance in
part reflected its relatively conservative asset allocation. We maintained a
roughly 60/40 balance between stocks and bonds throughout, seeing little
incentive to take a more-aggressive stance, given overall market conditions.
With respect to the fund's stock holdings, we maintained a value-based
approach, emphasizing out-of-favor stocks of companies that stand to
significantly improve their earnings (due, e.g., to a restructuring). This
hampered the fund somewhat, since growth stocks outpaced value stocks for the
six months (though the latter finished the period quite strongly). In terms of
sector allocation, we made few noteworthy changes to the fund, though we added
1

to our weighting in the banks and savings & loan area. These stocks came under
pressure during the latter part of 1998, on concerns regarding credit quality,
creating several compelling buying opportunities in our view.
With regard to bond strategies, we maintained a bias toward high-quality,
intermediate-term issues, which we viewed as attractive from a risk-adjusted
perspective, and remained well-diversified by sector. One notable move we made
here was to significantly increase our exposure to mortgage-backed bonds. Yield
spreads between these securities and Treasuries widened significantly in the
latter part of 1998, prompting us to add a number of mortgage-backed bonds we
judged to be good values. All told, our bond strategies contributed positively
to the fund's return.
Going forward, we will continue to strive to provide competitive levels of
longer-term total return, while attempting to limit overall volatility. In
practice, this means focusing on mid- and large-capitalization stocks we believe
have the best risk-adjusted expected returns, based on their earnings prospects
and current valuations. Within the fund's bond component, our emphasis will
remain on high-quality, intermediate-term issues that have what we deem to be
attractive risk-adjusted yields as well as potential for longer-term
appreciation.

June 15, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the six months ended April 30, 1999, Warburg Pincus Growth & Income
Fund had a gain of 19.74%, vs. a gain of 22.32% for the S&P 500 Index.* The
fund's one-year return through April 30, 1999 was 10.27%. Its five-year, 10-year
and since-inception (on October 6, 1988)** average annual total returns through
April 30, 1999 were 14.38%, 14.96 and 14.95%,*** respectively.
The period was a positive one for the U.S. stock market as a whole. Buoyed
by better-than-expected economic data and continued subdued inflation, most
major domestic stock indexes rallied to finish the six months standing at or
near all-time highs. Notably, while a relatively small group of large-cap growth
stocks paced the market's advance through most of the period, investors
"rotated" heavily toward value-type stocks (including recently out-of-favor
cyclical stocks) in April. This may or may not imply a longer-term trend, but we
view the recent broadening of the market's rally as a welcome development, and a
sign that investors are focusing more intensely on valuations, both on an
absolute and relative basis.
Against this backdrop, the fund had a positive return, performing roughly
in line with its benchmark. The fund trailed its benchmark by a fairly
significant margin through much of the six months, but ended the period on a
strong note, reflecting its continued focus on value stocks.
We made no noteworthy changes to the fund during the period in terms of
broad strategies. We continued to emphasize companies with good cash flows and
improving longer-term earnings potential, due, for example, to a restructuring
or to the launch of new products or services. In terms of sector strategies, we
remained well-diversified, seeing little incentive to aggressively overweight
any particular areas. That said, we significantly increased our weighting in the
financial area, with a particular focus on bank stocks. We took advantage of
weakness in the area (largely caused by concerns, late last year, that slowing
economic growth would have a negative impact on credit quality) to add a number
of bank stocks we deemed to be attractively priced.
We also raised our exposure to cyclical stocks, primarily by adding to our
weighting in the capital-equipment sector. Stocks we purchased included
agricultural-equipment manufacturers that we judged to have improving earnings
prospects.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sector weightings we lowered during the period included food, beverages &
tobacco, reflecting our valuation-based decision to eliminate certain positions
here as well as our desire to further increase our weighting in cyclical-type
stocks. Another area we de-emphasized was the telecommunications & equipment
sector, also due to generally high valuations in the sector.
Looking ahead, we believe that, the market's generally high valuations
notwithstanding, many attractive investment opportunities exist. In this
context, we will continue to strive to identify stocks that we deem to be
fundamentally undervalued, based on factors such as price-to-book and
debt-to-equity ratios.

Warburg Pincus Capital Appreciation Fund
Semiannual Investment Adviser's Report -- April 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 15, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
For the six months ended April 30, 1999, Warburg Pincus Capital
Appreciation Fund had a gain of 27.12%, vs. a gain of 22.32% for the S&P 500
Index.* The fund's one-year return through April 30, 1999 was 19.12%. Its
five-year, 10-year and since-inception (on August 17, 1987)** average annual
total returns through April 30, 1999 were 25.15%, 17.23% and 15.61%,
respectively.
The period was a robust one for the U.S. stock market as a whole, with
large-cap stocks performing especially well. Buoyed by a continued healthy mix
of economic growth and low inflation, along with some encouraging news from
emerging markets, most major domestic stock indexes rallied to end the period
standing at or near record levels.
Against this backdrop, the fund had a solid return, both in absolute terms
and relative to its benchmark. Helping the fund were good performances from a
number of its holdings, in particular its technology, financial, media and
telecommunications stocks.
We made few noteworthy changes to the fund during the six months in terms
of overall strategies, remaining biased toward market sectors offering growth
rates significantly greater than that of the overall economy. This proved
beneficial to the fund's return, as stocks of growth-oriented companies outpaced
those of cyclical (i.e., economically sensitive) companies during the period.
With respect to sector exposure, notable areas of concentration for the
fund continued to include the media & communications sector, a weighting we
raised as the period progressed. Our primary focus here was on the cable area,
reflecting our view that cable stocks stand to benefit over the longer term from
the introduction of new cable models and digital television. Our cable holdings
included service providers as well as content providers. We also maintained
exposure to the radio area, which we believe will continue to grow in popularity
as an advertising medium.
Another area of emphasis for the fund was technology, including
telecommunications-equipment companies. Our emphasis here remained on companies
that we believe are well-positioned to benefit from the longer-term expansion of
the Internet. In this context, our holdings included Internet equipment/software
providers and companies offering information-management products and services.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other notable sector weightings for the fund continued to include retail,
where we remained focused on niche-type retailers; and financial services, where
we maintained a bias toward asset-management companies.
Looking ahead, we continue to see ample grounds for optimism regarding U.S.
large-cap stocks, encouraged by the absence of serious inflationary pressures
and by the resilient nature of the U.S. economy. That said, we believe that
careful stock selection will remain paramount, given the market's generally
lofty valuations and investors' propensity to abandon stocks that disappoint,
even marginally, on the earnings front. In this context, we will continue to
attempt to identify stocks that have what we deem to be good longer-term
prospects, both in absolute terms and compared to the broader market.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 1999 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The Warburg Pincus Balanced Fund, Warburg Pincus Growth & Income Fund, and
the Warburg Pincus Capital Appreciation Fund are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), as diversified, open-end management
investment companies.
Investment objectives for each fund are as follows: the Balanced Fund seeks
maximum total return (through a combination of long-term growth of capital, and
current income) consistent with preservation of capital; the Growth & Income
Fund seeks long-term growth of capital, income and a reasonable current return;
and the Capital Appreciation Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Each fund offers two classes of shares, one class being referred to as the
Common Class and one class being referred to as the Advisor Class. Common Class
and Advisor Class 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 Class shares for the Balanced
Fund bear expenses paid pursuant to a shareholder servicing and distribution
plan at an annual rate of .25% of the average daily net asset value of the
fund's Common Class. Advisor Class shares bear expenses paid pursuant to a
distribution plan at an annual rate not to exceed .75% of the average daily net
asset value of each fund's Advisor Class. Advisor Class shares are currently
bearing 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
Board of Directors/Trustees believes 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.
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 and 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 of that
class. Effective November 1, 1998, class-specific expenses no longer include
transfer agent fees; accordingly these fees will be allocated proportionately
based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares of the fund. 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
investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 Warburg Pincus Funds, transfers
uninvested cash balances to a pooled cash account, which is invested in

1. Significant Accounting Policies -- (cont'd)
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 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 their
transfer agent expense. For the six months ended April 30, 1999, the funds
received credits or reimbursements under this arrangement as follows:
Fund Amount
---- -------
Balanced $ 651
Growth & Income 15,646
Capital Appreciation 16,292
2. Investment Adviser, Co-Administrators and Distributor
Warburg Pincus Asset Management, Inc. (Warburg) which is indirectly
controlled by Warburg, Pincus & Co., serves as each fund's investment adviser.
On February 15, 1999, Warburg, Pincus & Co. and Credit Suisse Group announced
that they reached an agreement for Credit Suisse to acquire Warburg. Under the
terms of the arrangement, no immediate changes are planned to Warburg investment
portfolio managers and investment professionals. The Warburg Pincus Funds, Board
of Directors/Trustees and shareholders have approved the "assignment" of each
fund's current investment advisory agreement with Warburg. The transaction is
expected to be completed in mid-1999. For its investment advisory services,
Warburg receives the following fees based on each fund's average daily net
assets:
Fund Annual Rate
------ --------------------------------
Balanced .90% of average daily net assets
Growth & Income .75% of average daily net assets
