BARR ROSENBERG VARIABLE INSURANCE Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Organization. Barr Rosenberg Variable Insurance Trust (the "Trust") was
established as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on
March 1, 1998. The Trust is an open-end diversified management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
There are an unlimited number of authorized units of beneficial interest
("shares") of the Trust which may be divided into an unlimited number of series
of shares. Currently, there is one series; the Barr Rosenberg VIT Market
Neutral Fund (the "Fund").
2. Significant Accounting Policies. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities listed on a national exchange or exchanges for which market
quotations are available are valued at their last quoted sale price on each
business day. If there is no such reported sale, the most recently quoted bid
price is used for long securities, and the ask price is used for securities sold
short. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity are
valued at their amortized cost. Unlisted securities for which market quotations
are readily available are valued at the most recent quoted bid price for long
securities, and the ask price is used for securities sold short. Other assets
and securities for which no quotation is readily available are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting at their
discretion.
Security Transactions and Related Investment Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date, with realized gain or
loss on the sale of investments determined by using the identified cost method.
Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-date or
after the ex-date as the Fund becomes aware of such action, net of any non-
refundable tax withholdings. Interest income (including amortization of premium
and accretion of discount) is recorded as earned.
Short Sales
The Fund is authorized to engage in short-selling which obligates the Fund to
replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at current market value
sometime in the future. The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security
increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund
replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the price of
the security declines between those dates. Until the Fund replaces the borrowed
security, the Fund will maintain a segregated account with cash and/or U.S.
government securities sufficient to cover its short position on a daily basis.
At June 30, 2000, the values of securities sold short in the Fund amounted to
$3,221,313, against which collateral of $6,442,069 was held. The collateral
includes the Bear Stearns Deposit Account and the securities held long, as shown
in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Distributions are made on a tax basis which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing
treatments for redemptions-in-kind and wash sales for book and tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences will result in reclassifications to
capital accounts.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
distributions in excess of net realized gains. To the extent they exceed net
investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as
distributions of capital.

3. Management, Administration, Fund Accounting Agreements. AXA Rosenberg
Investment Management LLC (the "Manager") provides advisory and management
services to the Fund under a management contract. The Manager is entitled to a
fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.90% of the Fund's
average net assets. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and
reimburse the Fund to limit annual expenses to 2.00% of the average net assets,
exclusive of the dividend expense on short sales. For the period ended June 30,
2000, the amount of such waivers totaled $33,918. For the period ended June 30,
2000, the amount of such reimbursements totaled $50,398.
BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("BISYS" or the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., serves as the Trust's administrator and
assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The
Administrator is entitled to a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at an
annual rate of 0.15% of the average net assets of the Fund. For the period
ended June 30, 2000, the amount of the waiver totaled $2,678.
BISYS serves the Trust as fund accountant. Under the terms of the fund
accounting agreement, BISYS is entitled to receive an annual fee and is
reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing fund
accounting services.
The Trust has adopted a distribution and shareholder service plan in conformance
with Rule 12b-1. Pursuant to this plan, the Fund is authorized to pay certain
fees for the sale and distribution of its shares and services provided to its
shareholders at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily
net assets. No payments were made under the plan for the period January 1, 2000,
to June 30, 2000.
4. Federal Income Taxes. It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated
investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any
net realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision
is made for federal income taxes.
5. Security Purchases and Sales. For the period ended June 30, 2000, purchases
and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) were $3,611,257 and
$4,331,366, respectively.
6. Trustee Fees. The unaffiliated Trustees each receive an annual fee of $7,590
plus a $825 meeting fee for each meeting attended.
7. Sales and Redemptions of Shares. Transactions in shares of beneficial
interest were as follows:
