Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to report on the activities of the Institutional Government Fund
(the "Fund") for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. The net asset value
(NAV) of the Fund as of June 30, 1995 was $9.45, compared to an NAV of $9.00 at
December 31, 1994. As a result, the Fund's total return (assuming the
reinvestment of dividends) was 8.94%. In comparison, the Lehman Brothers
Government/ Mortgage Index generated a 11.04% return during the same period.
  During the first half of 1995, interest rates fell over 150 basis points. Two
and three year securities fell the most, 190 basis points and 10-year
securities fell 162 basis points. Because the Federal Reserve did not ease
policy until July 6th, short term rates remained roughly unchanged through
June. As a result, the yield curve from cash to 10-year notes flattened 150
basis points. The 2-year note was trading about even yield with Fed Funds on
June 30th. This relationship would indicate that the market anticipates further
easing of monetary policy. As a result of this market activity during the first
half, performance has reserved the trend of 1994 and turned in a strong
performance.
  The rally during the first half of 1995 was caused by several forces and
largely unexpected by many fixed income investors. The initial fuel for the
rally was two fold; first it became apparent that the tighter monetary policy
of 1994 was working to slow down the economy and that easing may be necessary.
The second factor was substantial investing by foreign central banks, namely
Japan. In the past, central banks have typically invested in U.S. Treasury
Bills with their dollar purchases. Therefore, currency intervention had a
limited effect on bond markets. During 1995, however, this activity drove rates
lower because dollars were used to purchase two to five year Treasuries instead
(which unintentionally hurt the dollar). Because rates fell and many investors
were underweighted in bonds, they had to buy more bonds to return to a neutral
posture. This additional buying helped to cause the rally to be so dramatic.
  Falling interest rates have had a significant effect on the mortgage market.
Because of lower interest rates, many investors became fearful of increased
prepayments and supply. This caused mortgage securities to underperform
comparable Treasury securities. By mid-June, mortgage securities had cheapened
and provided the best relative value seen since 1992.
  One reason mortgage securities have become attractive is a result of the
market's volatility. Our expectation is the volatility will decline and
mortgages will perform well. Other factors that should benefit mortgages are
reduced supply in the fall and increased demand as prepayment fears decrease.
The Fund has been positioned in higher coupon securities to improve the yield.
This has caused performance to lag the index.
  Looking forward, our investment strategy is to have the interest rate
exposure targeted to the benchmark. Mortgage positions will be adjusted to
improve diversification between most types of agency mortgage products, such as
balloons, 15-years and 30-years. As opportunities arise, positions will be
adjusted to benefit from pricing swings in the mortgage market.
  We thank you for your interest in the Fund and would be pleased to respond to
your questions or comments.
 
Respectfully,
 
 
Mark Silverstein
Vice President

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
A.ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--BEA Investment Funds, Inc.
(the "Company") formerly CS First Boston Investment Funds, Inc. was
incorporated in Maryland on July 2, 1987 and its operations through July 27,
1988 were limited to its organization and registration as a diversified, open-
end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Institutional Government Fund (the "Fund") commenced operations on January 8,
1991.
 
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. Such policies are
consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of financial statements.
 
1. SECURITY VALUATION: Investments for which the primary market is a national
   securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on
   the day of valuation or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the mean of the
   bid and asked prices on such day. Investments for which the primary market
   is believed to be over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the most recent
   quoted bid and asked prices provided by one or more principal market makers.
   Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily
   available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in
   accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. U.S.
   government obligations and other short-term obligations maturing in sixty
   days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Fund's intention to comply with the
   requirements of the Internal Revenue Code to qualify as a regulated
   investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and realized
   gains to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is
   required.
 
  The cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes amounted to
  $22,204,504. The net unrealized depreciation on a Federal income tax basis
  amounts to $495,747 and is comprised of appreciation of $629,446 and
  depreciation of $133,699 at June 30, 1995.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Fund had capital loss
  carryforwards totaling $1,300,447 which can be used to offset capital gains
  until December 31, 2002. The Fund incurred $146,001 of post-October losses
  during 1994. A tax election was made to defer such losses until January 1,
  1995.
 
  Undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized loss have
  been adjusted for prior period permanent book-tax differences.
 
3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Fund enters into agreements to purchase
   securities and to resell them (repurchase agreements) at a future date. It
   is the Fund's policy to take custody of securities purchased and to ensure
   that the market value of the collateral including accrued interest is
   sufficient to protect the Fund from losses incurred in the event the
   counterparty does not repurchase the securities. If the seller defaults and
   the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are
   commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the
   collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
 
4. DOLLAR ROLLS: The Fund may enter into dollar rolls in which the Fund sells
   securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to
   repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities
   on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund forgoes
   principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund is compensated by
   the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and a fee
   earned for entering into the roll transaction. The fee is amortized into
   income over the duration of the roll transaction.
 
5. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Distributions from net investment income are
   declared on a monthly basis payable on the last calendar day (or next
   business day if the last calendar day falls on a holiday or weekend) of the
   month. Distributions of net realized gains will be paid at least annually.
   However, to the extent that net realized gains of the Fund can be reduced by
   any capital loss carryforwards of the Fund, such gains will not be
   distributed.
 
  Income distributions and capital gains distributions are determined in
  accordance with U.S. Federal Income Tax regulations which may differ from
  generally accepted accounting principles.
 
6. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Security transactions are
   accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Costs used
   in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
   securities are those of specific securities sold. Interest income is
   recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities
   purchased are accreted/amortized over their respective estimated lives on a
   yield to maturity basis for long term securities, with the exception of
   mortgage backed securities, and on a straight line basis for short term
   securities. Discount or premium on mortgage backed securities is recognized
   upon receipt of principal payments on the underlying mortgage pools.
 
7. DELAYED DELIVERY COMMITMENTS: The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a
   when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
  may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price
  of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be
  delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.
 
8. OTHER: Organization expenses are being amortized on a straight line basis
   over a period not to exceed sixty months.
 
  Most expenses of the Company can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses
  which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the
  Company.
 
B.INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT--Effective June 13, 1995, BEA Associates (the
"Adviser") provides investment advisory services to the Fund under the terms of
an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"). Under the Advisory
Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee, calculated daily and payable
monthly, at a base annual rate of .50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Prior to June 13, 1995, CS First Boston Investment Management Corporation
provided investment advisory services to the Fund under substantially the same
terms, conditions and fees as stated above.
 
The Adviser has agreed to reimburse to the Fund a portion of its advisory fees
to the extent that the expenses of the Fund exceed 1.00% of average daily net
assets.
 
C.ADMINISTRATIVE AND CUSTODY AGREEMENTS--United States Trust Company of New
York ("U.S. Trust"), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mutual Funds Service
Company provides administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and
transfer agent services under an Administrative Agreement. U.S. Trust also
provides custodial services for the Fund's assets under a Custody Agreement.
Under the Agreements, U.S. Trust (the "Administrator") is paid a combined fee,
computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of .05% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.
 
D.DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT--Effective April 19, 1995, Funds Distributor, Inc.
(the "Distributor") serves as distributor of shares of the Fund. Under its
Distribution Agreement with the Company, the Distributor sells shares of the
Fund upon the terms of the prospectus and at the current offering price. The
Distributor is not obligated to sell any certain number of shares of the Fund.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Distributor received no commissions
from sales of the Fund's shares. Prior to April 19, 1995, CS First Boston
Corporation served as distributor of shares of the Fund.
 
E.PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY--Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than
short term investments for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $1,864,851
and $4,285,806, respectively.
 
F.CAPITAL--The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, $.001 par value, of which the Fund is authorized to issue 500,000,000
shares. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:
