                                CHAIRMAN'S LETTER


                                                                   June 10, 1998

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the Chase Vista Select
Growth and Income Fund for the six-month period ended April 30, 1998.

Stocks Posted Solid Gains As the Economy Continued to Grow
The stock market recorded strong performance as the economy continued to grow at
a healthy pace and inflation remained under control. Other factors that
contributed to the market's investment results included low interest rates, good
corporate earnings and solid cash flows into equity mutual funds.

Early in the period, the potential impact of the Asian economic crisis put
pressure on U.S stocks. However, the U.S. economy continued to grow despite
Asia's economic woes. In January, the stock market stalled again, as investors
worried about the market's future prospects, however, equities bounced back
again in February, as the Dow Jones industrial average plowed through the 9,000
and finished the period hovering near an all-time record level.

Bonds Posted Modest Gains As Interest Rates Stabilized
Bonds registered modest investment results in an environment that saw the U.S.
economy strengthen but inflation continue to remain under control.

The period began with a worry about the impact of the Asian crisis on global
economic growth. But when the shock of the Asian crisis subsided toward the end
of 1997, investors re-focused their attention on the U.S. economy. Bonds
performed well in January, despite the strongest Employment Cost Index (ECI)
report in five years. In February, several reports that suggested the economy
was overheating drove bond prices down. However, the market rebounded, and
interest rates stayed in a relatively narrow range, thanks partly to two
opposing forces: deflation concerns ignited by the Asian crisis and higher
inflation concerns due to the U.S. economy's better-than-expected performance.

Overall, it was another strong period for those invested in the U.S. stock
market. As always, all of us at Chase Vista encourage you to maintain your
investing discipline in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,


/s/ Fergus Reid
    -----------

Fergus Reid
Chairman

Chase Vista Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements      (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Organization and Significant Accounting Policies - Mutual Fund Group (the
     "Trust") was organized on May 11, 1987 as a Massachusetts Business Trust
     and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
     (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. Effective
     March 16, 1998 the Vista Family of Mutual Funds changes its name to the
     Chase Vista Funds. Select Growth and Income Fund ("VSGI") or, the "Fund" is
     a separate series of the Trust.

Since inception, the Select Growth and Income Fund has utilized the Master
Feeder structure. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing all of its investable assets in the Growth and Income Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") which like the Fund, is an open-end management investment company
having the same investment objectives as the Fund. As of April 30, 1998, VSGI
owned 19.38 % of the net assets of the Growth and Income Portfolio. The
financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments,
are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements of the Fund.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds:
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally acceptable
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

A.   Valuation of investments - Investments are recorded in the Portfolio at
     value. Securities of the Portfolio are recorded at value as more fully
     discussed in the notes to those financial statements.

B.   Investment and income expenses - VSGI records daily its pro-rata share of
     the Portfolio's income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and
     losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses daily as incurred.
     Realized gains/losses and changes in unrealized appreciation/depreciation
     represent the Fund's share of such elements allocated from the Portfolio.

C.   Organization Costs - Organization and initial registration costs incurred
     in connection with establishing the Fund have been deferred and are being
     amortized on a straight line basis over a sixty month period beginning at
     the commencement of operation of the Fund.

D.   Federal Income Taxes - The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for
     Federal Income Tax purposes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the
     provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
     companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net
     investment income, and net realized gain on investments. In addition, the
     Fund intends to make distributions as required to avoid excise taxes.
     Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income tax or excise tax is
     necessary.

E.   Distributions to shareholders - Dividends and distributions paid to
     shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends
     and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains
     is determined in accordance with Federal income Tax regulations, which may
     differ from generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these
     "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature, (i.e., that they result
     from other than timing of recognition - "temporary differences") such
     amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal
     tax-basis treatment.

F.   Expenses - Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the
     Fund; other expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund within
     the Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another
     reasonable basis.

2. Fees and other transactions with affiliates.

A.   Distribution and sub-administration fees - Pursuant to a Distribution and
     Sub-Administration Agreement, Vista Fund Distributors, Inc. (the
     "Distributor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The BYSIS Group, Inc., acts as
     the Trust's exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of
     each Fund's shares. In addition, the Distributor provides certain
     sub-administration services to the Trust, including providing officers,
     clerical staff, and office space for an annual fee of 0.05% of the average
     daily net assets of each Fund.

B.   Administration fee - Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, Chase (the
     "Administrator") provides certain administration services to the Trust. For
     these services and facilities, the Administrator receives from VSGI a fee
     computed at the annual rate equal to 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net
     assets.

C.   Other - Certain officers of the Trust are officers of Vista Fund
     Distributors, Inc. or of its parent corporation, BYSIS.


3. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest

Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies -- Growth and Income
Portfolio ("GIP") and Capital Growth Portfolio ("CGP"), (the "Portfolios") are
separately registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
non-diversified, open end management investment companies organized as trusts
under the laws of the State of New York. Each declaration of trust permits the
Trustees to issue beneficial interests in the respective Portfolios. The GIP
and the CGP commenced operations on November 19, 1993.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Portfolios:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   A. Valuation of investments -- Equity securities, purchased options and
   futures are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are
   primarily traded, including the NASDAQ National Market. Securities for which
   sale prices are not available and other over-the-counter securities are
   valued at the last quoted bid price. Bonds and other fixed income securities
   (other than short-term obligations), including listed issues, are valued on
   the basis of valuations supplied by pricing services or by matrix pricing
   systems of a major dealer in bonds. Short-term debt securities with 61 days
   or more to maturity at time of purchase are valued, through the 61st day
   prior to maturity, at market value based on quotations obtained from market
   makers or other appropriate sources; thereafter, the value on the 61st day is
   amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining number of days to
   maturity. Short-term investments with 60 days or less to maturity at time of
   purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Portfolio
   securities for which there are no such quotations or valuations are valued at
   fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the
   Trustees.

   B. Repurchase agreements -- It is the Portfolios' policy that repurchase
   agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government Agency
   securities. All collateral is held by the Trusts' custodian bank,
   subcustodian, or a bank with which the custodian bank has entered into a
   subcustodian agreement, or is segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry
   System. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, if the
   seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller
   enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the
   Trusts may be delayed or limited.

   C. Futures contracts -- When a Portfolio enters into a futures contract, it
   makes an initial margin deposit in a segregated account, either in cash or
   liquid securities. Thereafter, the futures contract is marked to market and
   the portfolio makes (or receives) additional cash payments daily to the
   broker. Changes in the value of the contract are recorded as unrealized
   appreciation/depreciation until the contract is closed or settled.

   The GIP invested a portion of its liquid assets in long stock index futures
   contracts to more fully participate in the market. Use of long futures
   contracts subject the Portfolio to risk of loss up to the amount of the
   value of the contract.

   The Portfolios may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards
   of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each
   futures transaction, therefore, the Portfolio's credit risk is limited to
   failure of the exchange or board of trade.

   As of April 30, 1998, the Portfolios had no outstanding futures contracts.

   D. Written options -- When a Portfolio writes an option on a futures
   contract, an amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio is
   included in the Portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset
   and corresponding liability. The amount

   of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of
   the written options and the change is recorded in a corresponding
   unrealized gain or loss account. When a written option expires on its
   stipulated expiration date, or when a closing transaction is entered into,
   the related liability is extinguished and the Portfolio realizes a gain (or
   loss if the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received
   when the option was written).

   The GIP writes options on stock index securities futures. These options are
   settled for cash and subject the Portfolio to market risk in excess of the
   amounts that are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
   Portfolio, however, is not subject to credit risk on written options as the
   counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying a premium at
   the inception of the contract.

   As of April 30, 1998 the Portfolios had no outstanding written options.

   E. Security transactions and investment income -- Investment transactions
   are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is
   executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified
   cost basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is
   recorded on the ex-dividend date.

   F. Organization costs -- Organization and initial registration costs
   incurred in connection with establishing the Portfolios have been deferred
   and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a sixty month period
   beginning at the commencement of operations of each Portfolio.

   G. Federal income taxes -- The Portfolios intend to continue to qualify as
   partnerships and therefore net investment income and net realized gains are
   taxed to the partners. Accordingly, no tax provisions are recorded by the
   Portfolios. The investors in the Portfolios must take into account their
   proportionate share of the Portfolios' income, gains, losses, deductions,
   credits and tax preference items in computing their federal income tax
   liability, without regard to whether they have received any cash
   distributions from the Portfolio. The Portfolios do not intend to distribute
   to investors their net investment income or their net realized gains, if any.
   It is intended that the Portfolios will be managed in such a way that
   investors in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of
   subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as regulated investment
   companies.

   H. Expenses -- Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to
   that Portfolio; other expenses are allocated on another reasonable basis.

2. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

   A. Investment advisory fee -- Pursuant to separate Investment Advisory
   Agreements, The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase" or the "Advisor") acts as the
   Investment Advisor to the Portfolios. Chase is a direct wholly-owned
   subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Corporation. As Investment Advisor, Chase
   supervises the investments of the Portfolios and for such services is paid
   a fee.

   The fee is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.40%
   of the Portfolios' average daily net assets.

   Chase Asset Management, Inc. ("CAM"), a registered investment advisor, is
   the sub-investment advisor to each of the Portfolios pursuant to a
   Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between CAM and Chase. CAM is a wholly
   owned subsidiary of Chase and is entitled to receive a fee, payable by
   Chase from its advisory fee, at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of each
   Portfolio's average daily net assets.

   B. Custodial fees -- Chase, as Custodian provides safekeeping services for
   the Portfolios' securities. Compensation for such services are presented in
   the Statement of Operations as custodian fees.

   C. Administration fee -- Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, Chase
   (the "Administrator") provides certain administration services to the
   Trusts. For these

   services and facilities, the Administrator receives from each Portfolio a

   Portfolio's average daily net assets.

The portfolio turnover rates of GIP and CGP for the year ended were 44% and 33%
respectively.

4. Retirement Plan -- The Portfolios have adopted an unfunded noncontributory
defined benefit pension plan covering all independent trustees of the
Portfolios who will have served as an independent trustee for at least five
years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on
compensation and years of service. Pension expenses for the six months ended
April 30, 1998, included in Trustees Fees and Expenses in the Statement of
Operations, and accrued pension liability included in other accrued
liabilities, respectively, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities were as
