BEA INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
October 18, 1995
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to report the performance returns of the BEA International
Equity Portfolio for the year ended August 31, 1995. For the year, the
Portfolio's return was -8.06%, while the MSCI EAFE Index returned 0.80%. For the
six months ended August 31, 1995, the Portfolio increased 11.70%, while the
index increased by 9.51%. Since its inception of October 1, 1992, the Portfolio
has earned 31.11% versus an index return of 45.22%.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
During the calendar quarter ended September 30, 1995, the most dominant
factor in the performance of the international equity markets was the dramatic
volatility of exchange rates. Viewed in local currency terms, the MSCI EAFE
Index produced a return of over 11% for the quarter, currency movements --
almost entirely the 13.9% depreciation of the yen versus the dollar -- reduced
that return by more than half for the U.S. dollar investor. A brief comment
about recent events in the foreign exchange market is therefore appropriate,
before we discuss developments in the international equity markets themselves.
In the past few months, the world's major central banks have made concerted
efforts to boost the value of the U.S. dollar against the yen and key European
currencies. They have done so out of concern that the weak dollar -- which
reached historic low points earlier this year -- was choking off growth in
Europe and contributing to serious financial instability in Japan. Indeed, fears
of a run on Japanese banks began to surface in late June and early July as
persistent weakness in Japan's stock market coincided with declining confidence
in Japanese banks at home and abroad. The bottom line: reflating the
deflation-prone Japanese economy -- and pumping up its financial markets -- have
become key priorities for global policymakers.
The problem in Japan's case is that the usual remedy for deflation -- i.e.
lower interest rates -- has not worked, because Japan's banks are still
struggling to cope with the after-effects of at least $500 billion of bad loans
made during the real-estate mania of the late 1980s. Even with short-term
interest rates now below 1% in Japan, banks are still not anxious to lend, while
consumers and businesses in Japan are equally wary about borrowing. The
excessively strong yen adds insult to injury by destroying Japan's export
competitiveness at the same time that its domestic economy has stagnated. The
only way out of this quagmire appears to be a stronger dollar and weaker yen,
boosting Japan's export prospects and corporate profits. Japan's deflationary
spiral is currently the most urgent problem facing the global financial system
and demands immediate attention.
In short, it appears that the dollar may have posted a multi-year low
earlier this year when it dipped below 80 yen and 1.35 Deutschemarks. In view of
global policymakers' current concerns, we would not be surprised to see the
dollar move a bit higher over the next 6-to-12 months to levels like 110 yen and
1.60 Deutschemarks. That would still represent a weak dollar from a long-term
perspective. But a dollar recovery of that magnitude, if sustained, would have
important implications for the relative performance of international financial
markets as well as for various sectors within those markets. Our expectation of
a stronger dollar will be increasingly reflected in the portfolio's investments,
as we will discuss later in this letter.
MARKET COMMENTARY AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW
In the context of a declining yen, the Japanese equity market produced very
strong performance in local currency terms, rising by 21.5%. (This translated
into a U.S. dollar return of only 4.5%.) It was the decline in the value of the
yen, in fact, that acted as the primary trigger for Japan's equity rally. The
dollar had begun creeping upward in mid-April, but did not gain sufficient
momentum to calm Japanese equity investors until the second week of July. As the
dollar began to rally more dramatically, the market began to feel convinced that
the

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S LETTER--(CONTINUED)
AUGUST 31, 1995
yen had finally topped out. With the yen seemingly likely to fall back still
further, Japanese stocks suddenly appeared to investors to have gotten
relatively cheap. This triggered a wave of buying, both by local investors and
- -- most significantly -- by Europeans taking profits in the U.S and reallocating
those assets into the Japanese market.
Despite this market's strong local currency performance, we are not sanguine
on its medium-term prospects. The Japanese economy remains troubled: growth is
stagnant, the banking system is overloaded with bad loans, and companies are
bloated with superfluous employees. It is increasingly our view that corporate
profits in Japan will not truly recover until (or unless) Japanese society
undergoes a meaningful restructuring. We have been disappointed that significant
political reforms have still not come, despite the well-publicized travails of
the Liberal Democratic Party, and it has come to seem that there are no
institutions within the country that are likely to push those reforms. More
importantly, Japanese society since at least the Second World War has been a
sort of "corporate welfare state," where companies -- rather than the government
- -- are the source of a broad range of social welfare benefits, including an
informal "life employment" system that is still largely intact. These benefits
come, of course, at the cost of corporate profits. In our view, the real buy
signal for Japanese equities would be an announcement by Nissan (or any other
megacorporation) that it is cutting 20,000 jobs, through layoffs rather than
simple attrition. No doubt, this would be followed by a rash of similar moves by
other companies that were unwilling to be the first to break tradition. The
social impact would be dramatic and negative, but the long-term impact on
profitability would be equally dramatic, and very positive. Unfortunately, as of
now we see few signs that this is likely, and we consequently have moved during
the quarter to reduce our already significantly underweight position in Japanese
equities.
In the European markets, meanwhile, we still do not see any particularly
exciting values, and we therefore continue to be underweight in the region.
Europe, of course, does not have the same kind of acute financial problems
currently faced by Japan, but its growth prospects have been seriously crimped
by dollar weakness in recent years. That has left Europe with anemic employment
growth and mounting social and budgetary problems, which may be eased somewhat
by a stronger dollar and better export growth. During the quarter, therefore,
the Bundesbank cut key German interest rates by a half point following very
visible intervention to push the dollar higher in foreign exchange markets.
Among the region's major markets, we remain most positive on France, where
we currently maintain a position in line with the index weighting. In our view,
both France and Germany (where the portfolio is still modestly underweight) are
showing positive signs of success in fighting inflation, and economic growth
prospects are reasonably good as well -- we anticipate earnings growth in the
major European economies of between 2 and 3 percent over the next year or two.
At present, cheaper equity valuations in France are balanced by somewhat
superior growth prospects in Germany, which appears to us to be more fully
valued. In the U.K., valuations are reasonable: hence the modest increase in our
allocation during the quarter. Earnings growth, however, remains sluggish, and
in view of political uncertainty -- the Major government appears increasingly
rudderless -- we remain underweight. Overall, we maintain the view that long-
term fundamental growth will be higher in the emerging markets than in Europe,
and we therefore continue to underweight Europe in order to overweight emerging
economies.
Performance in the emerging equity markets varied widely during the past few
months, and was driven by local events as much as by broad global or regional
trends. During the calendar quarter ended September 30, 1995, Brazil, Korea, and
Mexico all produced significantly positive returns, while their neighbors Chile
and Thailand were down sharply. In a normal market environment, returns of the
emerging markets have tended to show extremely low inter-market correlations.
While correlations tend to rise significantly during major market dislocations,
the broad divergence of emerging market returns during the past few months is a
sign that the "tequila effect" is gradually becoming a less dominant factor. In
a context of broad dispersion of country returns within regions, Latin America
generally outperformed the Asian markets, which saw an overall decline of 4.5%.
We are quite positive on the outlook for the emerging markets over the next
few months. While Latin America as a whole continues to feel some negative
economic effects of Mexico's troubles, we believe that current asset prices
reflect every bit of the bad news and none of

AUGUST 31, 1995
the good. The persistent and exaggerated pessimism of investors in Argentina,
for example, is at odds with the substantial gains being made in that economy.
Similarly, in light of the tremendous progress being made in Brazil, it again
seems that the market would be significantly higher were it not for the hangover
from the "tequila effect."
In addition, Latin American policy makers -- in Mexico, of course, but also
throughout the region -- seem to have taken the recent crisis as the warning
sign which in fact it was. While great progress has been made in recent years,
several key areas of reform have still not really been addressed. In recent
months, we have begun to see governments begin to tackle the thornier and more
difficult problems that have acted as roadblocks to economic progress. Finally,
for example, policy makers have begun implementing the social security and
pension reforms necessary to boost domestic savings rates. Similarly, there has
been widespread recognition of the need to boost export performance, in order to
generate valuable foreign exchange reserves. A key element of this has been a
renewed awareness of the need to increase labor productivity, and at the same
time reduce employers' costs. We also anticipate renewed measures to reduce
bureaucracy and deregulation, primarily through the privatization process. This
will be particularly evident this year in Argentina, and next year in Mexico and
Brazil -- where a series of far-reaching privatizations are the key to the
ultimate transition of that economy.
The Asian markets, meanwhile, tend to be less dependent on foreign
investors, although domestic investors in the region remain subdued by their
experiences since early 1994 and have so far failed to rekindle much enthusiasm
for their own markets. Economic growth remains significantly above that
experienced in other parts of the world, however, and has shown few signs of any
slowdown. In South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, economic growth in
1995 will exceed 8%; all but the last will in fact show faster growth in 1995
than last year. The only major problems for the region relate to the momentum of
economic growth which has built up in recent years fostering inflationary
pressure and a rising current account deficit in certain countries.
Looking in general terms at the likely trend in Asian markets during the
next few months, it is clear that while market valuations are not stretched,
neither are they cheap by historic standards. While bullish on the emerging
markets in general, therefore, we currently maintain an overweight position in
Latin America, where equity valuations remain suppressed relative to the Asian
markets. Overall, with interest rates coming down in virtually all major
markets, liquidity appears to be returning to the capital markets. This is good
news for emerging market investors, as perhaps the most important factor in the
performance of emerging equity markets is the availability of investment capital
on the world market.
CURRENCY HEDGING
While we have never ruled out the possibility of currency hedging, until
recently we had perceived structural imbalances in place in the capital markets
that were creating a bias toward a weaker dollar. Hence, hedging did not make
sense to us.
Developments in recent weeks, however, have led us to conclude that we may
be seeing a reversal of those structural factors, as discussed in the "Economic
Overview" above. It seems clear that Japan intends to try to rescue its economy
by weakening its own currency. The rest of the world might normally not be
inclined to go along with this strategy. In this case, however, the fragility of
Japan's financial system, which is burdened by a huge mountain of bad loans, has
tipped the balance. The U.S. and the other G-7 nations appear to have concluded
that it is in their interests as well to allow the dollar to strengthen, so as
to avert a crisis in the Japanese financial system, and by extension the
world's.
In light of these developments, we have decided to implement a strategy that
will protect our portfolios from continued dollar strength, while minimizing our
losses in the event that the dollar turns around and weakens. Using a
combination of currency options and forward contracts, we have hedged the Fund's
exposure to the yen and to Continental European currencies. In total, this hedge
impacts approximately 40% of the portfolio's foreign currency exposure. As you
may know, BEA manages approximately $2.5 billion in currency hedging assets
through our derivatives group, led by Jeff Geller, Executive Director. Jeff has
been with BEA for 17 years, and was a pioneer in the development of hedging
strategies in the early 1980s.

Through the use of options, we are able to significantly reduce the
potential opportunity cost of hedging, which can be unlimited in a hedge
constructed solely through currency forwards. Due to the nature of options, our
hedge is structured so that if the dollar continues to strengthen (thus hurting
the dollar-based returns on foreign assets), our level of protection will
automatically rise. Conversely, if the dollar weakens (which would boost the
returns on foreign currencies), our level of participation in these currency
returns automatically increases. In other words, this hedge is an expression of
our view that the dollar will strengthen in the medium term, however, its
structure provides significant protection from the possibility that our view is
incorrect. The cost of the option contracts was significantly reduced through
the partial use of forward contracts, which currently benefit favorable interest
rate differentials.
In conclusion, we very much appreciate the trust that our clients have
placed in us, and we greatly value our relationship with you. Again, if you have
any questions or concerns that were not addressed in this letter, please feel
free to be in touch with us at any time.

Dear Shareholders:
This letter reports the performance returns of the BEA Emerging Markets
Equity Portfolio for the year ended August 31, 1995. For the year, the Portfolio
return was -24.42%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index return was
- -16.40%. For the six months ended August 31, 1995, the Portfolio returned
10.99%, versus the index, which returned 10.88%. Since the inception of the
Portfolio on February 1, 1993 it has returned 25.89% versus an index return of
52.64%.
MARKET/PORTFOLIO COMMENTARY
Performance in the emerging equity markets varied widely during the calendar
quarter ended September 30, 1995, and was driven by local events as much as by
broad global or regional trends. This is, in our view, an indication of reviving
health in these markets, marking the end of the Mexican peso crisis as a
significant global problem. In a normal market environment, returns of the
emerging markets have tended to show extremely low inter-market correlations. As
in the developed markets, these correlations tend to rise significantly during
major market dislocations, as markets move downward in virtual lockstep. The
obvious examples of this effect are October 1987 for the developed markets and
December 1994 in the emerging markets. The broad divergence of emerging market
returns during the past few months, then, is a positive sign that the "tequila
effect" is becoming a less important issue.
During the most recent calendar quarter, Brazil, Korea, and Mexico all
produced significantly positive returns, while their neighbors Chile and
Thailand were down sharply. Overall, Latin America was the strongest region,
with the MSCI Latin America Free index producing a positive return of 3.4%, the
counterpart index for the Asian markets, meanwhile, declined by 4.5%. At the
same time, some of the "miscellaneous" emerging markets, particularly Israel and
South Africa, produced solid positive returns. Of course, from a somewhat
long-term perspective, the emerging markets in general remain a disappointment
in 1995. The Asian markets are down by over 3.0% for the year to date, while
Latin America remains in the hole dug by the Mexican crisis of December 1994,
with an overall return of -9.6%. Among the Latin American markets, only Peru has
a positive return for the year to date.
We are, however, quite positive on the short term outlook for the emerging
markets. While Latin America as a whole continues to feel the negative economic
effects of Mexico's troubles, we believe that current asset prices reflect every
bit of the bad news and none of the good. The persistent and exaggerated
pessimism of investors in Argentina, for example, is at odds with the
substantial gains being made in that economy. Similarly, in light of the
tremendous progress being made in Brazil, it again seems that the market would
be significantly higher were it not for the hangover from the "tequila effect."
In addition, Latin American policy makers -- in Mexico, of course, but also
in nations throughout the region -- seem to have taken the recent crisis as the
warning sign which in fact it was. While great progress has been made in recent
years, several key areas of reform have still not really been addressed. In
recent months, we have begun to see governments begin to tackle the thornier and
more difficult problems that have acted as roadblocks to economic progress.
Finally, for example, policy makers have begun implementing the social security
and pension reforms necessary to boost domestic savings rates. Similarly, there
has been widespread recognition of the need to boost export performance, in
order to generate valuable foreign exchange reserves. A key element of this has
been a renewed awareness of the need to increase labor productivity, and at the
same time reduce employers' costs. We also anticipate renewed measures to reduce
bureaucracy and deregulation, primarily through the privatization process. This
will be particularly evident this year in Argentina, and next year in Mexico and
Brazil -- where a series of far-reaching privatizations are the key to the
ultimate transition of that economy.
The Asian markets, meanwhile, tend to be less dependent on foreign investors
- -- indeed, some of the biggest regional markets, including Korea and India, put
tight restrictions on foreign investment. Nevertheless, in many countries
domestic investors remain subdued by their experiences since early 1994 and have
so far failed to rekindle much enthusiasm for their own markets. The importance
of foreign

investors has thus increased during the past two years, and their attitudes
towards risk has led to a more cautious approach in the Asian region as a whole.
The Asian economic growth rate remains significantly above that experienced in
other parts of the world, however. Even in the subdued global economy of 1995,
regional economies have shown few signs of any slowdown. In South Korea,
Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, economic growth in 1995 will exceed 8.0%; all
but the last will in fact show faster growth in 1995 than last year.
The only major problems for the region relate to the momentum of economic
growth which has built up in recent years fostering inflationary pressure and a
rising current account deficit in certain countries. Looking in general terms at
the likely trend in Asian markets during the next few months, it is clear that
while market valuations are not stretched, neither are they cheap by historic
standards. While bullish on the emerging markets in general, therefore, we
currently maintain an overweight position in Latin America, where equity
valuations remain suppressed relative to the Asian markets.
The portfolio's modest outperformance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Free
Index during the second half of the year was largely the result of top-down
factors, consistent with our strategy in these markets. Most important to the
portfolio's return were our overweight positions, relative to the index
weightings, in Brazil, Mexico, and Hong Kong, all of which outperformed the
broad index by a significant margin, and our underweightings in the Philippines
and Turkey (where we maintain a zero weighting). Our continued underweighting in
South Africa, a market that now accounts for 14.80% of the benchmark, was a
negative factor for portfolio performance, as was our overweighting in Chile.
In summary, with interest rates coming down in virtually all major markets,
liquidity appears to be returning to the capital markets. This is good news for
emerging market investors, as perhaps the most important factor in the
performance of emerging equity markets is the availability of investment capital
on the world market. We are very sanguine about prospects for the remainder of
the year and for 1996.
As developments occur in the emerging markets or at BEA that we believe
would be of interest to you, we will be sure to keep you up to date. Meanwhile,
if you have questions, please feel free to call upon us at any time.

AUGUST 31, 1995
BEA U.S. CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
October 13, 1995
Dear Shareholders:
This letter reports the performance returns of the BEA U.S. Core Equity
Portfolio for the year ended August 31, 1995. The net asset value (NAV) of the
Portfolio as of August 31, 1995, was $17.86, compared to an NAV of $15.29 at
February 28, 1995. The Portfolio began operations on September 1, 1994 with an
NAV of $15.00. For the year, the Portfolio's return was 19.75%. In comparison,
the S&P 500 Index had a return of 21.50% and a broader measure of the market,
the Wilshire 5000 Index, returned 22.00% during the same period. For the six
months ended August 31, 1995, the Portfolio returned 16.80%, matching the S&P
500 return of 16.80%, while the Wilshire 5000 Index returned 18.00%.
The tone of the U.S. equity market has markedly changed during the past few
months, beginning with a brief correction that occurred in July. That brief but
sharp downturn in the market was led (as was the bull market of the entire first
half of the year) by the technology sector. Microsoft, in the midst of its
Windows 95 publicity blitz, was a market leader in both directions. As the
leading force in this sector and one of the country's great companies, Microsoft
is in fact not a particularly great value by our measures -- it is currently
valued at about 10 times revenues, a ratio seldom seen and almost never
sustained in this market. Because this pushed other technology stocks to
similarly inflated valuations, we have largely avoided this sector. In addition,
both in technology and in the market in general, the first half rally was also
dominated by the largest companies -- the dozen or so firms at the top of the
S&P 500 outperformed the index in general by a substantial margin.
During the calendar quarter ended September 30, 1995, all this appears to
have changed. First of all, market leadership has clearly moved down the
capitalization scale, as mid-size and smaller companies begin to play catch up.
For example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, dominated by the largest
companies, was outperformed by the S&P 500, a broader index with a large number
of mid-cap names, which was in turn outpaced by the leading index of
small-capitalization stocks, the Russell 2000. Clearly, the broadening of the
bull market, of which we began to see indications during the second quarter, has
become more well established.
At the same time, technology issues are no longer leading the way. As you
know, we have been largely out of this sector during 1995 (with the exception of
Intel), and have therefore suffered a degree of opportunity cost. While growth
in the technology sector has been impressive, it can also be quite volatile, and
few if any technology companies can meet the valuation tests that are an
important focus of our investment process. In any case, it is our view that the
strong run of technology is now over, for the moment at least. The death knell,
we believe, was the strong rally in the U.S. dollar that occurred during the
quarter. The long dollar decline that we witnessed over the past five years,
which culminated in a collapse from 100 to 80 yen during the first four months
of 1995, was a godsend for U.S. technology producers, making their products far
more competitive in the global marketplace and thereby boosting export earnings
substantially. Now that the value of the dollar has returned to the 100 yen
level, and is likely to move up somewhat further over the next several months,
this sector (as well as other major exporters) should feel a negative impact on
their earnings.
We believe, however, that the outlook for U.S. stocks remain attractive.
Valuation indicators are somewhat mixed -- dividend yields and price-to-book
ratios make the market appear fully priced, while earnings and cash flow
multiples still reflect fair valuations. In this context, we believe that
demographic factors continue to augur well for all financial assets in the U.S.
In short, we believe that the aging of the baby boomer generation is extremely
good news for the capital markets. Most importantly, perhaps, as the children of
the post-war generation enter their middle years, they move out of the consuming
stage of their economic life cycle (buying houses, cars, university educations,
etc.) and into the savings stage, as quality of life in retirement becomes a
priority. We are already seeing the huge asset flows into stocks, bonds and
mutual funds that are the almost inevitable result of this demographic shift. in
addition, this generation's new emphasis on savings has already begun putting
significant pressure on policy makers to cut taxes and government spending. The
lower interest rates that should result bode well for both equities and bonds.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S LETTER--(CONTINUED)
AUGUST 31, 1995
In the Fund, we continue to pursue the twin themes of corporate
restructuring and global unit growth, and a large proportion of our holdings fit
with these themes. AT&T, for example, is representative of the restructuring
theme. We do not believe that the relatively small positive move in this stock's
price since the startling announcement of a few weeks ago reflects the full
import of the changes ahead. We remain optimistic, and perceive significant
upside potential.
We have recently, with our colleague Bill Sterling's input, added a third
theme, that of the bottoming of the U.S. dollar. The impact of this reversal of
relatively long-term foreign exchange trends is likely to be positive for
financial stocks and negative, as we have said, for exporters, particularly
technology companies. It is worth noting that the Fund's performance in 1995 has
been quite respectable, particularly in light of the underrepresentation of
technology stocks in the portfolio. We believe that the turn in the dollar's
fortunes will hit technology companies particularly hard -- a good deal of their
recent superior price performance has come as a result of a weakening dollar and
the consequently strong export markets. When the correction in technology stocks
occurs -- and we believe it will, and has already begun -- the Portfolio is very
well positioned to outperform the market.
The Fund's sector weightings emphasize Consumer Cyclicals, Finance, Health
Care and Capital Goods. We are underweighted versus the S&P 500 in Food, Capital
Goods and Retail.
At August 31, 1995 the portfolio held 65 securities and tends to be equal
weighted.
As always, we would be pleased to respond to any questions you may have
about the portfolio or about the capital markets in general.
Sincerely yours,

BEA U.S. CORE FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
October 16, 1995
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to report on the results of the BEA U.S. Core Fixed Income
Portfolio (the "Portfolio") for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995.
At August 31, 1995, the Portfolio's net asset value (NAV) was $15.42,
compared to an NAV of $14.77 at August 31, 1994. As a result, the Portfolio's
total return (assuming reinvestment of dividends of $.8415 per share) was
10.60%. In comparison, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index gained 11.33% during
the same period. Since the Portfolio's inception on April 1, 1994, its total
return (assuming reinvestment of dividends) was 10.79% compared to 12.51% for
the index.
MARKET COMMENTARY AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW
In an increasingly positive interest rate environment, and in the wake of
very strong performance during the first half of the year, the bond market in
the third quarter was notable mainly for its tranquillity. Quarterly returns for
all of the domestic investment grade sectors were clustered quite close
together, ranging from 1.76% for government bonds to 2.36% for corporates, with
mortgages falling approximately in the middle. High yield bonds were the best
domestic performers during the quarter, returning just over 3.00%; municipals
also performed relatively well. In each of these sectors, the return consisted
almost entirely of coupon; there was little opportunity for significant capital
gain, as spreads were virtually unchanged over the course of the quarter (with
the exception of a modest narrowing in the high-grade corporate sector).
This reflects a degree of settling in, as fixed income investors continue to
perceive a relatively benign investing environment. Recently released economic
statistics have served to reinforce this positive impression, showing continued
slow and steady growth with subdued inflation. The yield curve flattened during
the quarter, as the yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond declined by
about 14 basis points to just under 6.50%, while the yield on the 2-year
Treasury note was unchanged at 5.80%.
Given the improving liquidity picture, we remain underweight in Treasuries
and other government securities, in favor of spread sectors where we can achieve
additional yield. While our exposure to traditional investment grade corporate
bonds remains quite light, we maintain our significant long-term position in
dollar-denominated floating rate issues of major European clearing banks. As
"perpetual" securities, these are bonds of long credit duration, which tend to
outperform during periods of expanding global liquidity. Also within this
sector, we currently hold a variety of BBB-rated issues, mostly concentrated in
cables -- a consolidating industry in which lower-rated companies are gradually
being acquired -- and airlines, where a de-leveraging trend is leading to
significant debt buybacks. At present, the portfolio has a neutral weighting in
the high-grade corporate sector, particularly when looked at in "duration
dollar" terms. Technical measures show this sector to be richly valued at
present; we anticipate that any downticks during the fourth quarter could
present buying opportunities.
At the beginning of the third quarter, we perceived good value in the
mortgage market, as the effects of a continued rally were priced into the
market. As it has turned out thus far, the portfolio benefited from the excess
yield in this sector, but the anticipated capital gains have yet to develop. We
continue to believe that this sector will outperform -- and we maintain a
significantly overweight mortgage position -- as it becomes clear that another
wave of refinancings is not lurking on the horizon. Market conditions are very
positive, because the supply of mortgage securities will decrease as winter
approaches, and demand is strong. The dominant investors in this sector are
money managers, mutual funds, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the latter two
agencies have been steadily increasing the size of their portfolios over the
past year or so). In addition, banks have begun returning to the market as
buyers of mortgage-backed securities, as the demand for business loans has
slowed along with the economy. It should be noted, as well, that we continue to
hold core positions in shorter-maturity mortgages in place of Treasuries, in
order to earn approximately 50 basis points in excess yield.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S LETTER--(CONTINUED)
AUGUST 31, 1995
Our expectation of expanding liquidity and a continuation of the positive
interest rate environment also bodes well for the higher-yielding sectors of the
market, particularly domestic high yield bonds and emerging market debt. It is
interesting that, despite the volatility we have seen in 1995, the incremental
yield over U.S. Treasuries is approximately the same as it was in the beginning
of the year. Thus, although there is the impression of a meaningful rally having
already occurred in emerging market debt, what we have seen so far has really
been the recapture of Mexico-inspired losses that occurred in January and
February. The outperformance of the domestic high yield market can also be
primarily ascribed to that sector's incremental yield. In our view, then, these
sectors that were attractive early in the year remain attractive today -- we
believe that they have a good deal further to run.
In the emerging markets particularly, global liquidity is a crucial factor.
These markets, both in Latin American and other regions, largely depend on
foreign investors for their growth. When liquidity dries up and foreign
investors flee to safer shores, as we saw throughout 1994 and early 1995, the
emerging markets can suffer extremely difficult periods of short-term
volatility. When the money supply is looser, on the other hand, capital is
available to lend to issuers in the emerging markets. More to the point, when
rates in the developed markets trend downward, investors seeking yield
inevitably move increasingly toward higher-yielding markets. We witnessed an
extreme example of this in 1993 in the emerging debt markets. While we do not
expect spreads to compress to the levels seen at year end 1993, it appears that
late 1995 and 1996 will provide a positive environment for higher yielding fixed
income assets like emerging market debt.
Guidelines permitting, we maintain a modest position in this sector,
diversified across a broad range of dollar-denominated debt markets, both in
Latin America and elsewhere. (Positions in Poland and the Philippines were
particularly helpful during the third quarter). This strategy helps us to limit
the portfolio's country-specific risk, while allowing us access to the
attractive valuations now prevalent throughout the emerging debt markets.
SUMMARY
Our overall view on the market is essentially unchanged since our last
report. We continue to expect that liquidity in the market will be sufficient to
favor our broadly diversified portfolio structure. So long as interest rate
volatility continues to moderate, our overweight position in the mortgage sector
should continue to enhance returns. By underweighting traditional corporate
bonds and being extremely selective in our use of below-investment grade issues,
we are able to acquire a degree of "insurance" against the potential for slower
economic growth and the spread widening that could occur as a consequence.
ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
We continue to enhance our fixed income management team. During the third
quarter, Robert W. Justich joined BEA as a Senior Vice President and portfolio
manager focusing on investment grade corporate bonds. Prior to joining BEA, Bob
worked in credit research and trading at Merrill Lynch, where he was responsible
for the development of Merrill's first proprietary corporate bond trading desk.
He has an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University. Bob contributes additional
depth of insight to BEA's understanding of both the domestic and global bond
markets, and we are very glad to have him aboard.
As developments occur in the fixed income markets or at BEA that we believe
would be of interest to you, we will be sure to keep you up to date. Meanwhile,
if you have questions, please feel free to call upon us at any time.

BEA GLOBAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
October 16, 1995
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to report on the results of the BEA Global Fixed Income
Portfolio (the "Portfolio") for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995.
At August 31, 1995, the Portfolio's net asset value (NAV) was $15.67,
compared to an NAV of $15.00 at August 31, 1994. As a result, the Portfolio's
total return (assuming reinvestment of dividends of $.8782 per share) was
10.72%. In comparison, the J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index (Unhedged)
gained 13.96% during the same period. Since the Portfolio's inception on June
28, 1994, its total return (assuming reinvestment of dividends) was 10.72%
compared to 14.97% for the index.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
During the third quarter, the most dominant factor in the behavior of the
global bond markets was the dramatic volatility of exchange rates. In the past
few months, the world's major central banks have made concerted efforts to boost
the value of the dollar against the yen and key European currencies. They have
done so out of concern that the weak dollar -- which reached historic low points
earlier this year -- was choking off growth in Europe and contributing to
serious financial instability in Japan. Indeed, fears of a run on Japanese banks
began to surface in late June and early July as persistent weakness in Japan's
stock market coincided with declining confidence in Japanese banks at home and
abroad. The bottom line: reflating the deflation-prone Japanese economy -- and
pumping up its financial markets -- have become key priorities for global
policymakers.
The problem in Japan's case is that the usual remedy for deflation -- i.e.
lower interest rates -- has not worked, because Japan's banks are still
struggling to cope with the after-effects of at least $500 billion of bad loans
made during the real-estate mania of the late 1980s. Even with short-term
interest rates now below 1% in Japan, banks are still not anxious to lend, while
consumers and businesses in Japan are equally wary about borrowing. The
excessively strong yen adds insult to injury by destroying Japan's export
competitiveness at the same time that its domestic economy has stagnated. The
only way out of this quagmire appears to be a stronger dollar and weaker yen,
boosting Japan's export prospects and corporate profits. Japan's deflationary
spiral is currently the most urgent problem facing the global financial system
and demands immediate attention.
In short, it appears that the dollar may have posted a multi-year low
earlier this year when it dipped below 80 yen and 1.35 Deutschemarks. In view of
global policymakers' current concerns, we would not be surprised to see the
dollar move a bit higher over the next 6-to-12 months to levels like 110 yen and
1.60 Deutschemarks. That would still represent a weak dollar from a long-term
perspective. But a dollar recovery of that magnitude, if sustained, would have
important implications for the relative performance of international financial
markets as well as for various sectors within those markets.
This outlook makes us particularly bullish on the prospects for bonds in the
"dollar-bloc" countries, such as the U.S., Canada and Australia. We believe that
U.S. interest rates are now well past the high point in their current cycle.
Unlike some observers, we anticipate that the Fed is likely to reduce rates
significantly by early in 1996, as an improving fiscal picture (which should
emerge from a contentious budget season this fall) and potential deflation
sparked by the strengthening dollar create mounting pressure to ease.
In addition, we believe that demographic trends also argue in favor of a
long-trend of declining interest rates in the U.S.: the aging of the baby boomer
generation is extremely good news for the capital markets. Most importantly,
perhaps, as the children of the post-war generation enter their middle years,
they move out of the consuming stage of their economic life cycle (buying
houses, cars, university educations, etc.) and into the savings stage, as
quality of life in retirement becomes a priority. We are already seeing the huge
asset flows

into stocks, bonds and mutual funds that are the almost inevitable result of
this demographic shift. In addition, this generation's new emphasis on savings
has already begun putting significant pressure on policy makers to cut taxes and
government spending. The lower interest rates that should result bode well for
not only bonds but equities as well.
MARKET COMMENTARY AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW
In this increasingly positive context, and in the wake of very strong
performance during the first half of the year, the domestic bond market in the
third quarter was notable mainly for its tranquillity. In virtually all market
sectors, returns consisted almost entirely of coupon -- there was little
opportunity for significant capital gain, as spreads were virtually unchanged
over the course of the quarter (with the exception of a modest narrowing in the
high grade corporate sector). This reflects a degree of settling in, as fixed
income investors continue to perceive a relatively benign investing environment.
Recently released economic statistics have served to reinforce this positive
impression, showing continued slow and steady growth with subdued inflation.
Meanwhile, the U.S. yield curve flattened slightly during the quarter, as the
yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond declined by about 14 basis points
to just under 6.5%, while the 2-year Treasury note was unchanged at 5.8%.
During the quarter, we began to make a strategic shift in the Fund's market
allocations. We have for a period of many months maintained an overweight
position in European bond markets, with a particular emphasis on the high-yield
countries. When the dollar rally was at its height, early in September, bonds in
the higher-yielding European markets rallied in tandem, subsiding somewhat in
the second half of the month. The consolidation of a dollar recovery, however,
makes the outlook for European markets significantly less positive. We have
therefore begun scaling back the Fund's European holdings, and building an
overweight position in the U.S. market. The rallying dollar increases the
likelihood of further easing by the Federal Reserve in the remainder of the year
and drastically reduces the threat of inflation: together, these factors bode
well for dollar bonds. Conversely, the decline of the Deutschemark and other
European currencies from their highs earlier this year suggests that inflation
could become an increasing worry in the European economies. The Deutschebank is
quite unlikely to reduce interest rates in the near future, and other European
central banks seldom ease without a lead from Germany.
The Fund remains strongly committed to dollar-bloc currencies, completely
hedging (as we have for some time) our exposure to Japan and partially hedging
our European exposure.
We continue to maintain a significant position in the emerging debt markets,
as an environment of declining U.S. rates and increasing global liquidity is the
most favorable environment for emerging market investments. We are already
seeing liquidity flowing into these markets, with consequently positive effects
on bond prices, and we believe there remains significant upside. It is
interesting that, despite the volatility we have seen in 1995, these sectors
have not yet experienced any significant narrowing of yield spreads. Thus,
although there is perhaps the impression of a meaningful rally having already
occurred in emerging market debt, what we have seen so far has really been the
recapture of Mexico-inspired losses that occurred in January and February.
In the emerging markets, global liquidity is a crucial factor. These
markets, both in Latin American and other regions, largely depend on foreign
investors for their growth. When liquidity dries up and foreign investors flee
to safer shores, as we saw throughout 1994 and early 1995, the emerging markets
can suffer extremely difficult periods of short-term volatility. When the money
supply is looser, on the other hand, capital is available to be lent to issuers
in the emerging markets. More to the point, when rates in the developed markets
trend downward, investors seeking yield inevitably move increasingly toward
higher-yielding markets. We witnessed an extreme example of this in 1993 in the
emerging debt markets. While we do not expect spreads to compress to the levels
seen at year end 1993, it appears that late 1995 and 1996 will provide a
positive environment for higher yielding fixed income assets like emerging
market debt.
The Fund's emerging markets position remains diversified across a broad
range of dollar-denominated debt markets, both in Latin America and elsewhere.
(Positions in Poland and the Philippines were particularly helpful to
performance during the third quarter). This strategy helps us to limit the
portfolio's country-specific risk, while allowing us access to the attractive
valuations now prevalent throughout the emerging debt markets.

October 16, 1995
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to report on the results of the BEA Strategic Fixed Income
Portfolio (the "Portfolio") for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995.
At August 31, 1995, the Portfolio's net asset value (NAV) was $15.72,
compared to an NAV of $15.94 at August 31, 1994. As a result, the Portfolio's
total return (assuming reinvestment of dividends of $1.34 per share) was 7.79%.
In comparison, the First Boston High Yield Index gained 13.21% during the same
period. Since the Portfolio's inception on March 31, 1993, its total return
(assuming reinvestment of dividends) was 24.46% compared to 26.80% for the
index.
During the third quarter, the most dominant factor in the behavior of the
global bond markets was the dramatic volatility of exchange rates. In the past

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S LETTER
AUGUST 31, 1995
BEA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND PORTFOLIO
October 16, 1995
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to report on the results of the BEA Municipal Bond Fund
Portfolio (the "Portfolio") for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995.
At August 31, 1995, the Portfolio's net asset value (NAV) was $15.46,
compared to an NAV of $15.06 at August 31, 1994. As a result, the Portfolio's
total return (assuming reinvestment of dividends and distributions totalling of
$.8123 per share) was 8.42%. In comparison, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index gained 8.87% during the same period. Since the Portfolio's inception on
June 20, 1994, its total return (assuming reinvestment of dividends and
distributions) was 8.86% compared to 9.66% for the index.
In an increasingly positive interest rate environment, and in the wake of
very strong performance during the first half of the year, the bond market in
the third quarter was notable mainly for its tranquillity. Quarterly returns
(based on Lehman Brothers bond indices) for all of the taxable sectors were
clustered quite close together, ranging from 1.76% for government bonds to 2.36%
for corporates, with mortgages falling approximately in the middle. High yield
bonds were the best domestic performers during the quarter, returning just over
3.00%. In virtually all sectors, the return consisted almost entirely of coupon
- -- there was little opportunity for significant capital gain, as spreads were
virtually unchanged over the course of the quarter (with the exception of a
modest narrowing in the high grade corporate sector).
This reflects a degree of settling in, as fixed income investors continue to
perceive a relatively benign investing environment. Recently released economic
statistics have served to reinforce this positive impression, showing continued
slow and steady growth with subdued inflation. The yield curve flattened during
the quarter, as the yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond declined by
about 14 basis points to just under 6.50%, while the yield on the 2-year
Treasury note was unchanged at 5.80%.
Municipal bonds, in this context, modestly outperformed the investment grade
taxable sectors, exceeding the return of corporates by approximately 50 basis
points. This outperformance was a result of the longer duration of the municipal
bond market relative to that of the taxable sectors: in this rallying market,
longer duration securities tended to outperform.
In our view, the municipal market is still attractively valued relative to
taxable bonds of similar maturity, offering yields of about 90% of the yields on
similar taxable bonds. These cheap valuations reflect concerns in the market
about the potential for federal tax reform which could negatively impact the tax
benefits of municipal bond investments. We believe, however, that these concerns
have been more than appropriately priced in to the market: it is inconceivable
to us that any imminent tax reform could produce federal tax rates of under 10%.
As a tax reform package takes shape (or as the tax reform fever begins to
abate), therefore, we anticipate a rally in the muni market to more accurately
reflect the sector's tax-advantaged status. In the current environment, we have
continued to focus our security selection upon issues in high tax states like
New York.
As developments occur in the fixed income markets or at BEA that we believe
would be of interest to you, we will be sure to keep you up to date. Meanwhile,
if you have questions, please feel free to call upon us at any time.
Sincerely yours,
BEA Fixed Income Management Team

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of The RBB Fund, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the BEA
International Equity, BEA Emerging Markets Equity, BEA U.S. Core Equity, BEA
U.S. Core Fixed Income, BEA Global Fixed Income, BEA Strategic Fixed Income and
BEA Municipal Bond Portfolios of The RBB Fund, Inc., as of August 31, 1995 and
the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years (or periods) in the two year
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments held as of
August 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
BEA International Equity, BEA Emerging Markets Equity, BEA U.S. Core Equity, BEA
U.S. Core Fixed Income, BEA Global Fixed Income, BEA Strategic Fixed Income and
BEA Municipal Bond Portfolios of The RBB Fund, Inc., as of August 31, 1995, and
the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their
net assets for each of the years (or periods) in the two year period then ended,
and their financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1995
NOTE 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund
was incorporated in Maryland on February 29, 1988, and currently has seventeen
investment Portfolios, seven of which are included in these financial
statements.
The Fund has authorized capital of thirty billion shares of common stock of
which 12.2 billion are currently classified into sixty-one classes. Each class
represents an interest in one of seventeen investment portfolios of the Fund
fifteen of which are currently in operation. The classes have been grouped into
fifteen separate "families", eight of which have begun investment operations:
the BEA Family, the RBB Family, the Sansom Street Family, the Bedford Family,
the Cash Preservation Family, the Jamey Montgomery Scott Money Funds, the
Warburg Pincus Family and the Bradford Family. The BEA Family represents
interests in nine portfolios, seven of which are currently in operation and
covered by this report.
A) SECURITY VALUATION -- Portfolio securities for which market
quotations are readily available are valued at market value, which is
currently determined using the last reported sales price. If no sales are
reported, as in the case of some securities traded over-the-counter,
portfolio securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid
and asked prices. All other securities and assets are valued as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with
maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which
approximates market value.
B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- Transactions denominated in
foreign currencies are recorded in the Portfolio's records at the current
prevailing exchange rates. Asset and liability accounts that are denominated
in a foreign currency are adjusted daily to reflect current exchange rates.
Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during
the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction
are reported in operations for the current period. It is not practical to
isolate that portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments in the statement of operations that result from fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund reports certain foreign currency
related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting
purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for
Federal income tax purposes.
C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of investments
sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both
financial reporting and income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on
the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain
expenses, principally transfer agent and printing, are class specific
expenses and vary by class. Expenses not directly attributable to a specific
portfolio or class are allocated based on relative net assets of each
portfolio and class, respectively.
D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net
investment income and net realized capital gains will be declared and paid
at least annually. The character of distributions made during the year for
net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate
characterization for federal income tax purposes due to GAAP/tax differences
in the character of income and expense recognition. These differences are
primarily due to differing treatments for net operating losses,
mortgage-backed securities, passive foreign investment companies, and
forward foreign currency contracts.
E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for Federal taxes as
it is the Fund's intention to have each portfolio to continue to qualify for
and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies
under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite distributions to its
shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income and
excise taxes.
F) OTHER -- Securities denominated in currencies other than U.S.
dollars are subject to changes in value due to fluctuations in exchange
rates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
AUGUST 31, 1995
NOTE 1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Some countries in which the portfolios invest require governmental approval
for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of
securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is a deterioration in a
country's balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose
temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.
The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially
smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the
United States. Consequently, acquisition and deposition of securities by the
portfolios may be inhibited. In addition, a significant proportion of the
aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities
exchanges in emerging markets are held by a smaller number of investors. This
may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the
Fund.
NOTE 2.TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES
Pursuant to Investment Advisory Agreements, BEA Associates ("BEA"), a U.S.
investment advisory firm, serves as investment advisor for each of the seven
portfolios described herein.
For its advisory services, BEA is entitled to receive the following fees,
computed daily and payable monthly on a portfolio's average daily net assets:

NOTE 8.FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
The Funds will generally enter into forward foreign currency exchange
contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. A Fund may enter into
these contracts to fix the U.S. dollar value of a security that it has agreed to
buy or sell for the period between the date the trade was entered into and the
date the security is delivered and paid for. A Fund may also use these contracts
to hedge the U.S. dollar value of securities it already owns denominated in
foreign currencies.
Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate, and are
marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an
unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate
fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund's Portfolio Securities, but it
does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although
forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might
result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Funds could
be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet
the terms of their contracts. During the year ended August 31, 1995, the BEA
U.S. Core Fixed Income Portfolio and the BEA Global Fixed Income Portfolio
entered into forward foreign currency contracts.
The BEA U.S. Core Fixed Income Portfolio's open Forward Foreign Currency
Contract at August 31, 1995 was as follows:
