President’s Message

 
Dear Investor:
 
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report of the VISION Group of Funds for the first half of the funds’ current fiscal year, which is the six-month period from May 1, 2000 through October 31, 2000. This report begins with a discussion by each fund’s management about the economy, the market, and fund strategies over the reporting period. Next, you’ll find a complete list of portfolio holdings and financial statements for each fund.
 
On November 8, 2000, all of the portfolios of VISION Group of Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation, were reorganized as and became portfolios of VISION Group of Funds, a Delaware business trust organized on August 11, 2000.
 
The following highlights summarize the performance of each VISION fund over the six-month reporting period.
 
VISION MONEY MARKET FUNDS
 
VISION Treasury Money Market Fund, which invests exclusively in U.S. Treasury securities, paid dividends totaling $0.03 per share to Class A Shares investors and $0.03 per share to Class S Shares investors. Net assets totaled $677.5 million at the end of the reporting period.*
 
VISION Money Market Fund, a diversified portfolio of corporate and U.S. government money market securities, paid dividends totaling $0.03 per share to Class A Shares investors and $0.03 per share to Class S Shares investors. Net assets passed the $1.5 billion level at the end of the reporting period.*
 
VISION New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund, a portfolio of New York municipal money market securities, paid double-tax-free dividends (triple-tax-free dividends to New York City residents) totaling $0.02 per share.** Net assets totaled $158.3 million at the end of the reporting period.*
 
VISION EQUITY AND INCOME FUNDS
 
VISION U.S. Government Securities Fund
The fund’s portfolio of U.S. government securities paid dividends totaling $0.30 per share, while the fund’s net asset value rose from $9.02 at the beginning of the period to $9.19 at the period’s end. The income dividends and change in net asset value resulted in a total return of 5.31%, or 0.52% adjusted for the fund’s sales charge.† At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s net assets totaled $76.0 million.
 
VISION New York Municipal Income Fund
The fund’s portfolio of high-quality, New York municipal bonds paid tax-free dividends totaling $0.23 per share, while the net asset value rose from $9.72 at the beginning of the period to $10.02 at the period’s end.** Through dividends and net asset value increase, the fund’s total return was 5.49%, or 0.73% adjusted for the fund’s sales charge.† By the end of the reporting period, tax-sensitive New York residents had invested a total of $67.8 million in the fund.
 
VISION Large Cap Value Fund
This fund offers a relatively conservative way to navigate toward income and capital appreciation from undervalued stocks. Class A Shares produced a total return of 5.37%, or (0.44%) adjusted for the sales charge, through a $0.56 increase in net asset value and dividends totaling $0.04 per share. Class B Shares produced a total return of 4.76%, or (0.24%) adjusted for the contingent deferred sales charge, through a $0.53 increase in net asset value.† The fund’s net assets totaled $33.2 million at the end of the reporting period.

   Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
VISION Mid Cap Stock Fund
The fund’s portfolio pursues its objective of total return by investing in high-quality mid-cap stocks selected through a systematic process that focuses on value, or “cheapness,” and improving fundamental strength. The fund’s Class A Shares produced a total return of 8.51%, or 2.56% adjusted for the fund’s sales charge, through a $1.32 increase in net asset value. Class B Shares produced a total return of 8.13%, or 3.13% adjusted for the fund’s contingent deferred sales charge, through a $1.26 increase in net asset value.† At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s net assets totaled $120.8 million.
 
VISION Large Cap Growth Fund
This fund, which began operation in March of 2000, pursues capital appreciation by investing in large, established blue-chip growth companies. In a difficult six-month period for large cap growth stocks, the fund’s Class A Shares produced a total return of (6.57%), or (11.68%) adjusted for the fund’s sales charge, through a $0.66 decrease in net asset value. Class B Shares produced a total return of (6.97%), or (11.62%) adjusted for the fund’s contingent deferred sales charge, through a $0.70 decrease in net asset value.† At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s net assets totaled $8.8 million.
 
Thank you for pursuing the opportunities of one or more key financial markets through the professional management and diversification of the VISION Group of Funds. We look forward to keeping you up-to-date on your progress.

Investment Review

 
VISION U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND
 
The last six months have been a favorable period for the taxable bond market. Since our last report, yields on the 10 year Treasury note have declined from 6.23% on April 30, 2000 to 5.77% on October 31, 2000.
 
U.S. economic growth in the 2000 calendar year has been robust. The year over year percentage change for the chain weighted real Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) for the quarter ending September 30, 2000 was a healthy 5.3%. GDP advanced at a 6.1% clip for the quarter ending June 30, 2000. The year over year percentage change in the consumer price index (“CPI”) for the year ending October 31, 2000 was 3.40%. This represents an increase of 30 basis points from the 3.10% level of April 30, 2000.
 
The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) responded to these economic conditions by raising the federal funds target rate by a total of 100 basis points in 2000. The first two moves were 25 basis point increments and occurred on February 2nd and March 21st of 2000. The last increase of 50 basis points came on May 16th, 2000, which raised the target rate to 6.50%.
 
What do we see in the immediate future? A strong dollar, weakness in equity markets, fiscal surpluses, and subdued U.S. inflation have powered the recent bond market rally. There is considerable evidence that the series of six Fed rate increases over the past two calendar years is slowing the economy. At issue is the old Phillips curve debate—does a slowing economy necessarily hold inflation in check? We remain skeptical of a direct link between economic growth and inflation but realize that the bond market will at times react to information that reflects changes in economic growth. The bond market is currently very susceptible to any negative news because real yields are very low. Subtracting a 3.40% CPI from a nominal 10 year Treasury yield of 5.77% results in a real yield of 2.37%, which is at the low end of the range for the past five years.
 
The VISION U.S. Government Securities Fund posted a total return of 5.31% for the 6 month period ending 10/31/00 (0.52% adjusted for the fund’s sales charge).* This compares with the Lipper U.S. General Government Fund Index** return of 5.33% for the same period.
 
The VISION U.S. Government Securities Fund continues to emphasize government-guaranteed securities with yield advantages to U.S. Treasury securities.*** Within the mortgage-backed securities sector, we continue to favor very seasoned, low loan balance mortgages. These mortgages possess lower refinancing risks relative to newer production mortgages. The duration† of the Fund has been shortened to about a half a year shorter than the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index†† for the period ending October 31, 2000.

may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index and the Asset-Backed Securities Index. Total return comprises price appreciation/depreciation and income
as a percentage of the original investment. Indices are rebalanced monthly by market capitalization. Investments cannot be made in an index.
 
VISION NEW YORK MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
 
The last six months have treated the municipal market very well. Yields on ten-year municipal bonds have declined markedly from 5.16% (% of the Ten-Year U.S. Treasury Note) on April 28 to 4.71% (% of the Ten-Year U.S. Treasury Note) on October 31. Over the last six months municipals have performed in line with the treasury and other taxable fixed income markets. However, over the last 12 months, municipals have generally outperformed the treasury and other taxable markets.
 
The VISION New York Municipal Income Fund posted a positive total return of 5.49% over the last six months ending October 31, 2000 (0.73% adjusted for the fund’s sales charge).* The Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Index return for the same period was 5.40%.** For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2000, the VISION New York Municipal Income Fund returned 8.93% (4.00% adjusted for the fund’s sales charge) versus the Lipper return of 7.90%.
 
The fund continues to emphasize high quality New York municipals while keeping the average maturity of the portfolio relatively neutral. Unlike the taxable bond market, the municipal bond market yield curve had maintained a positive slope with short maturities yielding less than longer maturities. Over the last six months the municipal yield curve has steepened, with short-term rates falling more than long-term rates over this time period. We expect the municipal bond market to outperform the taxable bond markets over the coming months, as supply remains low and demand continues to be strong.

may be worth more or less than their original cost.
**    Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling

VISION LARGE CAP VALUE FUND
 
The VISION Large Cap Value Fund’s Class A shares returned 5.37% based on net asset value, or (0.44%) adjusted for the fund’s sales charge and the Fund’s Class B shares returned 4.76% based on net asset value, or (0.24%) adjusted for the contingent deferred sales charge for the six months ending October 31, 2000.* This compares with a 6.80% total return for the S&P 500/Barra Value Index,** a commonly referenced unmanaged index of large capitalization “value” oriented stocks. During this same period the Lipper Large Cap Value Fund Average*** returned 3.41%.
 
Our investment philosophy features three key strategic dimensions: risk control, structuring our portfolio around themes, and GARP, or “growth-at-a-reasonable-price”.
 
Risk Control
 
Stringent risk control measures are utilized to minimize expected “tracking error” or expected variance from our chosen benchmark—the “value” side of the S&P 500. As a result of our risk control process, our portfolio invests in many industry leaders such as Exxon-Mobil, AIG, Citigroup, SBC Communications, Verizon Communications, Tyco, Disney, Fannie Mae, Boeing, DuPont, Hewlett- Packard, Wells Fargo and American Express.
 
Thematic
 
Our thematic dimension incorporates our “top-down” assessment of how we should be positioned to take advantage of secular trends or patterns developing in the U.S. economy. We favor those sectors and industries that benefit the most from these themes. We identified five major themes that should prove important for the 2000-2001 time frame:
 
1. 
Demographics—The graying of America affects consumption patterns. Specific stocks that are part of this theme include American Home Products, Boston Scientific, Cardinal Health, Carnival Corp, and CVS Corp.
 
2. 
Technology—The new economy rules include the forced rapid implementation of new technologies. Some of our specific stocks that are enabling the new economy include Compaq, EDS, and Texas Instruments.
 
3. 
Supply/Demand Imbalances—Cyclical industry conditions that create significant supply/demand imbalances. The U.S. natural gas industry currently represents an excellent example of a situation where demand is outstripping supply. We own Apache Corp, Burlington Resources, Coastal Corp., and Duke Energy as our natural gas plays.
 
4. 
Industry Consolidation—Profit pressures and competitive forces will drive consolidation in the financial services and the utility sectors. We had three announced takeovers in 2000 as part of this theme—Reliastar Financial, LG&E Energy, and Associates Corp. Jefferson-Pilot, Countrywide Credit, and CMS Energy represent current holdings for this theme. We also had two takeovers outside the financial and utility sectors. Honeywell, a capital goods sector stock, is an announced acquisition target of GE. Sterling Software, a technology sector stock, was acquired by Computer Associates earlier this year.
 
5. 
World Wide Economy—New opportunities in the global marketplace. Pitney Bowes, Deere, and McDonald’s are a few of our holdings that are beneficiaries of new international markets.
 
GARP
 
We have emphasized stocks with growth prospects that on average are greater than the earnings growth rate of our value benchmark. This follows from our conviction that future stock prices will largely be determined by future
earnings growth. However, we want to pay a low multiple for that growth. Our average forward P/E’s or price earnings ratios, are lower than the average P/E multiple of the S&P Barra Value index. Our emphasis on a favorable PEG ratio or P/E to growth ratio is our primary metric for measuring GARP.
 
*    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.
**    The S&P 500/Barra Value Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index having the lowest
price to book ratios. The index consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 on a market capitalization basis. This index is unmanaged and
investments cannot be made in an index.
***    Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling
into the respective categories indicated. Lipper figures do not reflect sales charges.
 
VISION MID CAP STOCK FUND
 
After years of being overshadowed by their large cap brethren, mid cap stocks moved back into the limelight during the past six months. Investors have been selling overvalued technology stocks that had been leading the market’s charge. Higher interest rates weighed on the market, increasing risks associated with very high priced large cap growth investments. Technology and telecommunications stock prices fell sharply. Investors became more cautious and began moving into traditional, old economy mid cap names that represented good value and earnings growth potential. Led by health care, utilities, consumer and financial stocks, the S&P MidCap 400 Index* climbed 8.56% for the six months ended October 31, 2000. That was well ahead of the large cap S&P 500 Index** that returned (1.03%) for the same period.
 
The VISION Mid Cap Stock Fund was well positioned to capitalize on the mid cap rally, thanks to our focus on cheap stocks with improving prospects. For the six months ended October 31, 2000, the fund’s Class A shares and Class B shares returned 8.51% and 8.13% at net asset value, respectively (2.56% and 3.13%, respectively, adjusted for the Fund’s sales charge and contingent deferred sales charge, respectively).*** By comparison, the average mid cap blend fund returned 3.00% according to Morningstar, Inc. Keep in mind that your net asset value return will differ from these results if you were not invested for the exact same periods and did not reinvest all distributions.
 
On October 31, 2000 about 10% of the Fund’s net assets were invested in financial stocks, which rebounded on the prospect that interest rate hikes by the Fed were over for the time being. Among our top performing bank names were Washington Mutual and Comerica, both of which enjoyed improving earnings outlooks from the changing interest rate environment. Insurance stocks like AXA Financial, XL Capital and Partnerre also had an excellent run, as signs of improved pricing and further industry consolidation attracted investor interest. Another 8% of the Fund’s net assets were in the information services industry. New internet-based information software is needed for financial institutions, and companies like DST Systems and Sunguard Data Systems were thought to be well positioned to provide these products and services. Retailing stocks have also rebounded from their lows earlier in the year as their stock prices were determined to have more than adequately discounted a slowdown in consumer spending. Cl othing retailers such as TJX and Intimate Brands rose as investors recognized the value of the brand and distribution franchises of these companies.
 
Technology stocks were hurt during the period as a perceived slow down in personal computers and handsets weighed on the earnings prospects for these companies. Semiconductor stocks like Altera, Teradyne and RF Microdevices declined as the outlook for semiconductor demand into next year became more clouded. However, software companies like Intuit and Adobe performed well as investors flocked toward companies with less cyclical outlooks within the technology sector. Other stocks that turned in disappointing results for the period included health care companies Bausch & Lomb, which is experiencing increased competition for eye care products due to the advent of eye laser surgery and Sepracor, which had a major drug research program discontinued due to potential health risks. Finally, media companies such as Hispanic Broadcasting, Westwood One and Univision under performed due to a perceived slow down in advertising spending over the next year.
 
We continue to be optimistic about the prospects for the stock market and mid cap stocks in particular. Interest rates appear to be near their peak and the Fed should consider lowering rates if the economy weakens more than expected. Consumer confidence continues to be high and inflation remains under control as productivity gains have a positive effect on the economy. In this environment, we expect corporate earnings to grow 5% to 10% over the next twelve months. The only question is whether slower economic growth will produce more earnings shortfalls. Given this concern, we expect stock selection to become more critical, and stocks in the mid cap sector with more moderate valuations to look particularly attractive.

VISION LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND
 
Performance for the VISION Large Cap Growth Fund declined on a relative basis during the six months ended October 31. The heightened selective volatility of individual companies in many sectors due to macro economic issues led to our underperformance. Stock price reaction has grown more violent when negative news is released by a company due to the high level of investors’ expectations resulting from many years of strong market gains. The level of patience and confidence investors have in companies where news is not considered “perfect” has significantly deteriorated, pushing valuations to incredible lows and delaying any rebound as attention is diverted to companies who appear more resilient to the economic environment.
 
Technology and consumer cyclical stocks were the two sectors where we experienced difficulty. Although we were under-weighted in the negative-performing technology sector, our stock selection was poor. Specifically, Lucent Technologies and Worldcom were disappointments and were sold in September. Lucent’s problems appear to have been centered on poor execution with regard to an optical equipment cycle. Worldcom’s issue was one of declining profit margins due to business mix and pricing. In the consumer cyclical area, investors sold stocks of retailers upon early signs of slowing consumer traffic. The Gap and Circuit City compounded the problem of slower traffic with execution errors—we have eliminated both of these stocks from the portfolio. Costco disclosed an earnings miss in the third quarter (and Home Depot in October), however, we continue to feel confident about the fundamentals for each of these big box retailers. Our over-weighting in consumer staple stocks added to performance, althou gh the depressed value of the Euro continued to affect the earnings outlook for many of these companies. Interestingly, the best performing sector of the S&P 500 Index for the six-month period was utilities (+26.9%). The lack of superior historical earnings momentum prevents our investment process from holding most stocks in the sector.
 
Evidence of slowing in the U. S. economy is being seen as profit growth decelerates. While there are still signs foretelling a soft landing for the economy, profits and earnings may be bumpier than previously expected. Rising energy prices, combined with a slowing in the core economy, equate to lower than expected earnings growth. Corporate America lacks the pricing power necessary to keep up with the increase in costs. In addition, with the Euro continuing to trade near all-time lows, American business abroad feels yet another squeeze on profits. There is no clear indication as to how investors will respond to a reduction in earnings growth. Telecommunication and related equipment stocks are the most recent sectors where expectations and equity prices have been ratcheted downward. Above average returns are now perceived as the norm by many investors. Factoring in political uncertainty and Regulation FD, additional stock market volatility seems likely for the immediate future.
 
Your portfolio is structured in a manner that should perform well in an environment of slowing corporate profit growth. We are of the opinion that as capital spending slows, technology stocks will have a difficult time meeting high investor expectations. We are much more comfortable with the earnings growth and valuations found in the consumer staple and healthcare sectors of the marketplace. Accordingly, we are overweighted relative to the S&P 500 in those two sectors and underweighted in technology. This strategy has begun to work to our advantage as your portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 during the months of October and November.

(2)    Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Investment Valuations —The money market funds use of the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. For fluctuating funds, listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. U.S. Government securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed corporate bonds, and other fixed income and asset-backed securities, unlisted securities and short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value.
 
Repurchase Agreements —It is each Fund’s policy to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement transaction.
 
The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds’ adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund along with other affiliated investment companies may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.
 
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions —Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Treasury Money Market, Money Market, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Stock Fund and Large Cap Growth Fund offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of each Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to difference in separate class expenses.
 
Distributions in excess of net investment income were a result of certain book and tax timing differences. These distributions do not represent a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
 
Federal Taxes —It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary.
 
At April 30, 2000 the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes, which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve each Fund of any liability for federal tax. The recognition of capital losses carried forward for VISION Capital Appreciation Fund, which merged into Mid Cap Stock Fund, are limited for 8 years under section 382(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as listed below:
 
Fund
   Capital Loss
Carryforward
to Expire in
2007

   Capital Loss

            U.S. Government Securities Fund       $585,791
            New York Municipal Income Fund       $232,213
            Mid Cap Stock Fund    $5,050,545   
VISION Group of Funds

 
Additionally, net realized capital losses attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1999, are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year (May 1, 2000). The post-October losses for the Funds were as follows:
 
            U.S. Government Securities Fund           $177,257
            New York Municipal Income Fund           139,980
            Large Cap Value Fund           738,774
            Large Cap Growth Fund           975
 
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions —The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
 
Restricted Securities —Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined by the Funds’ pricing committee.
 
Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
 
Other —Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

The fee paid to M&T is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. M&T may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee with respect to the Funds. M&T can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
 
Organizational Expenses —Organizational expenses were borne initially by FAS. The Fund has reimbursed FAS for these expenses. These expenses have been deferred and are being amortized over the five years period following the Fund’s effective date. For the six months ended October 31, 2000, the following amount was expensed by the Fund:

Large Cap Growth Fund      $ 4,553,296      $ 2,575,945
 
(6)    Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Since New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund and New York Municipal Income Fund invest a substantial portion of their assets in issuers located in one state, they will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at October 31, 2000, 63.2% for New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund and 44.3% for New York Municipal Income Fund of the total market value of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The value of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 8.9% for New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund and 12.8% for New York Municipal Income Fund of total market value of investments.
