PRESIDENT'S LETTER
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,

We are pleased to present the Fund's semi-annual report for the six months ended
June 30, 1995. Our Fund now offers 24 separate portfolios -- 10 global and
international equity portfolios, six U.S. equity portfolios, a balanced
portfolio, five fixed income portfolios, and two money market portfolios.

The first half of 1995 saw strong U.S. equity and fixed income markets, a weak
Japanese equity market, reasonable European markets, mediocre Asian equity
markets and difficult markets in Latin America. Against this mixed backdrop,
many of our portfolios had strong absolute and relative performance. Our U.S.
Equity Growth Portfolio, managed by Kurt Feuerman and his team, had extremely
strong performance and was up 23.05% for the first half of the year, well ahead
of the S&P 500 which was up 20.19% for the comparable period. Our U.S. Value
Equity Portfolio, managed by our Chicago team of Mike Crowe, Steve Sexauer and
Al Zick also posted strong performance and was up 19.41% for the first half of
the year. Although the Value Equity Portfolio's performance slightly lags the
increase in the S&P 500, given that many of the strongest performers in the U.S.
equity market were technology and other "growth" companies that do not fit in a
"value" portfolio, the Value Equity Portfolio's performance was also very
strong.

On the fixed income side, our High Yield Portfolio, managed by Bob Angevine and
his team, and the Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio, managed by Paul Ghaffari and
his team, each posted strong absolute and relative returns. Our U.S. Fixed
Income Portfolio also performed well in the strong bond market, posting a return
in line with its applicable benchmark index.

Although the international equity markets were generally not as strong as the
U.S. equity market during the first half of 1995, several of our non-U.S. equity
portfolios posted strong relative performance. The International Equity
Portfolio and Global Equity Portfolio each continue to well outperform their
respective benchmarks, while our Emerging Markets Portfolio and Asian Equity
Portfolio performed in line with their respective indexes.

One of our newest portfolios, the U.S. Real Estate Portfolio, which was launched
on February 24, 1995 got off to a good start, posting a total return of 8.30%
from inception to June 30, compared to a 5.34% return for its applicable
benchmark index.

Our report contains a summary of all the Portfolios' performance on page 2, as
well as detailed investment manager's reports for each of the Portfolios on the
following pages. We hope you find this information useful and informative.

Sincerely,

        [SIGNATURE]
Warren J. Olsen
PRESIDENT

August 22, 1995

RISK CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTING.

The Active Country Allocation Portfolio invests in international equity markets,
with emphasis placed upon country, rather that stock selection. This approach
reflects our belief that a diversified selection of securities representing
exposure to countries that we find attractive provides an effective way to
maximize the return and minimize the risk associated with global investing.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was -1.81% as compared to 2.60% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International
(MSCI) EAFE Index for the same period. The total return for the twelve months
ended June 30, 1995, and the average annual return for the period from inception
in January 1992 through June 30, 1995 for the Portfolio were -2.48% and 6.04%,
respectively, as compared to 1.65% and 9.02% for the Index for the same periods.

During the second quarter, global equity markets rose on the back of currency
stability, interest rate relief and upside earnings surprises. The exception was
Japan, which faced the massive challenges of a still overvalued currency,
deflation, government paralysis and banking sector uncertainty.

For the first half, regional returns in U.S. dollars (as measured by the Morgan
Stanley Capital International indices, with net dividends reinvested) were:
Europe 6.3%, Japan -6.5%, the Pacific ex-Japan 6.1%, and the Emerging Markets
9.7%.

For the first half, the Portfolio's underweight in Japan was the most
significant contributor to the Portfolio's return, followed by our allocations
to Australia, Asia and some of the emerging markets. The single biggest
detractor from Portfolio returns was the yen hedge in the first quarter, despite
the dollar comeback in the latter part of the second quarter.

Within Europe, our overweights in Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands,
Portugal and Spain paid off nicely, although our underweights in Germany,
Switzerland, the Nordic countries, and the U.K. detracted from performance.

Within the Pacific ex-Japan, our overweights in Australia, Hong Kong and
Singapore added to returns, although performance was negatively impacted by our
zero weighting in Malaysia. In the emerging markets, our allocation to
Indonesia, which surged 28.2% for the quarter, added nicely to performance, as
did our Latin American allocations to Argentina, Mexico and Brazil.

In June and early July, we brought the Portfolio's Japan weighting up to neutral
versus the benchmark. Valuations look reasonable and we view the Japanese

OVERVIEW

THE ACTIVE COUNTRY ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
government's admission of serious bank and economic growth problems as an
indication that Japanese political paralysis is nearing an end. This, along with
the weakening yen, puts the potential for an earnings recovery in a more
positive light and leads us to believe that the Japanese market could rally off
its bottom. Though the lack of a concrete Japanese policy response is frankly
disappointing, we believe that in the great scheme of history, the yen and the
Japanese bond market have made secular bull market highs, and the stock market
is tracing out a huge bottom formation. We will watch the government's reaction
to any stock market rally carefully however, as a sharp rise in equity values
could mistakenly lull the Japanese authorities into a false sense of security.

We are slightly underweight Europe relative to the benchmark, using European
sales to fund our increased weighting to Japan. We have reduced our exposure in
France, and have taken profits in Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. In France,
the hopes that Jacques Chirac's new government brought to the equity markets
faded very quickly as the continuation of the FRANC FORT policy reduces the
potential for sharp, immediate cuts in short term interest rates.

We remain overweight in Asian equities, with overweight positions in Hong Kong
and Singapore. Within emerging Asia, we have small positions in Indonesia and
Thailand. Though an increase in U.S. rates may spook these markets in the short
run, the U.S. Fed has been vigilant against inflation. A strong U.S. tends to be
good for Asian economies and a recovering Japan should improve Asian imports.

In Latin America, we sold the Portfolio's position in Argentina, but have
maintained our 1% position in Brazil. Brazil was one of the top five emerging
markets during the second quarter, but it faces risks associated with the
political change needed to keep the Plano Real intact and viable. Brazil is the
cheapest country on price-to-book and dividend yield in our universe however,
and it has some fine companies with tremendous earnings potential.

The U.K. equity market, the third largest bourse in the world, returned 3.9% in
the second quarter, and is up 10.7% year-to-date in U.S. dollars, 8.8% in
sterling. Market sentiment seems to have recovered from the political
uncertainty brought on by the surprise Conservative party leadership election
and the slight strengthening of John Major's hand in his cabinet. We believe the
equity markets will benefit from attractive equity valuations relative to bonds,
increased consumer spending and mergers and acquisitions activity, solid, albeit
subdued, growth in Europe and the Far East (excluding Japan) and the probability
of a slightly more populist approach to both monetary and fiscal policy prior to
the 1996 elections. In light of this more positive outlook, we increased our
allocations from underweight to market neutral.

GERMAN equities were up 12.4% in the first half of the year in U.S. dollars, but
only 0.3% in local currency. This market benefited in the latter half of the
second quarter from investor monies switching out of France, from the surprise
rate cut, from constructive near-term inflation prospects and from a dollar
rally. We have initiated a position in Germany (about half the benchmark weight)
because of the resilience the German export sector has shown in the face of
still uncompetitive exchange rates and because we think the deutsche mark has
peaked and the Bundesbank may ease in the autumn. Valuations, however, remain
just outside of the second quartile, domestic consumption remains depressed, and
we expect continued pressure on corporate earnings.

FRANCE, as mentioned above, has disappointed investors since Chirac's election.
In the first half of the year, French equities, in U.S. dollars, returned 12.8%,
but only 2.5% in local currency. July's mini-budget is unlikely to address the
deficit issue, and spending and taxes will probably rise in order to finance the
employment package. The VAT increase, combined with higher wages, could push the
French inflation rate up, making the hoped for sharp short-term interest rate
reductions less likely. Without the latter, we do not believe the French equity
markets will outperform, despite the fact that valuations are attractive and
there are plenty of good-value stocks. Hence, our reduction in the Portfolio's
French holdings, from overweight to underweight.

The PORTUGUESE market faced a tough first half of the year, up only 2.7% in U.S.
dollars, but declining about 5% in local currency. We expect to be pulling back
on our weighting in Portugal. The market has lagged the rest of the emerging
markets in rebounding from the Mexican peso crisis fall out. Interest rates are
high, political uncertainty before the October elections remains, and valuation
levels relative to growth potential and risk premiums are not compelling.

HONG KONG equities returned 8.2% in the second quarter and 13% year-to-date. We
believe the fears that the market rally will run out of steam are premature,
valuations are very reasonable, and we are maintaining our overweight position.
The second quarter global slowdown lowered the risks in the

OVERVIEW

Asian markets and the slow growth, low inflation economic environment we
forecast will be very beneficial for Hong Kong equities.

Looking forward, we expect to see global economic growth pick up in the second
half of the year, though inflation pressures should be subdued as global
competition and wage pressures remain fierce. We do not expect to see any
meaningful easing by the Fed in the second half, although rates could continue
to fall in the core European countries. We expect international equity market
returns, including Japan, to be positive, though not stellar. We are partially
hedging the Portfolio's yen and deutsche mark exposure, as we expect the dollar
to strengthen.

PLEASE SEE THE PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTING.

The investment objective of the Asian Equity Portfolio is to seek long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks which are traded on
recognized exchanges of HongKong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and
the Philippines. The Portfolio may also invest in common stocks traded on
markets in Taiwan, South Korea, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and other Asian
developing markets which are open for foreign investment. The Portfolio does not
intend to invest in securities which are principally traded in Japan or in
companies organized under the laws of Japan.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 7.04% as compared to 7.00% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International
(MSCI) Combined Far East Free ex-Japan Index for the same period. Total returns
for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and the average annual return for the
period from inception in July 1991 through June 30, 1995 for the Portfolio were
9.64% and 24.98%, respectively, compared to 7.19% and 21.38% for the MSCI
Combined Far East Free ex-Japan Index for the same periods.

HongKong garnered top honors as Asia's top performing market, yielding 10.9%
despite uncertainty surrounding interest rates and the worsening of relations
between the U.S. and China over arms sales and the recent visit to the U.S. of
Taiwan's President. Tied to U.S. interest rates via the exchange rate peg,
HongKong benefited from the dramatic drop in U.S. bond yields. Utility stocks
led the rally. By contrast, property stocks performed poorly as property sales
continued to be weak. At 11X '95 estimated earnings Hongkong is still Asia's
cheapest market.

Malaysia rivaled HongKong as one of Asia's best performing markets, gaining
10.2% over the first six months of 1995. In January and February the market
reeled as investors feared that the ringgit would be devalued given the
country's large current account deficit. Eventually market sentiment improved as
investors recognized that because of Malaysia's strong external reserves
position, low debt service ratio and basic account surplus, the Central Bank was
well armed to defend the ringgit. The market snapped back to life in the second
quarter as foreign investors returned in droves with the fall in U.S. bond
yields and as fears that tough anti-inflation measures would be enacted abated.
Concerns over Malaysia's trade deficit also seemed to have subsided, thereby
bolstering confidence further. At 21X 1995 estimated earnings, the market is
fully valued.

OVERVIEW
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ASIAN EQUITY PORTFOLIO (CONT.)

The Thai market posted modest gains of 3.3% over the first two quarters. The
first quarter was particularly trying for the Thai market as it was viewed by
foreign institutional investors as a submerging market whose currency (the
baht), like the Mexican peso several months before, was overvalued and due for
an adjustment. Fearing the worst, foreign institutions reacted impulsively,
selling indiscriminately. The market's liquid, blue-chips were the hardest hit.
After the initial wave of panic selling, however, the market traded sideways on
thin volume for several months. Cautious foreign and local investors preferred
to remain on the sidelines as they found little to cheer about. Finance stocks
fared the worst as market sentiment soured, as the technical picture worsened
and as evidence that service sector inflation was squeezing margins surfaced.
With the dramatic drop in U.S. bond yields in May and the extended rally in U.S.
markets, however, foreign investors returned to the market in force, buying
aggressively in Thailand's most interest rate sensitive sectors -- banks,
finance companies, and property developers -- which would benefit from wider
margins. Uncertainty about the direction of U.S. interest rates and the outcome
of Thai Parliamentary elections brought May's rally to an abrupt halt in June,
with the market once again trading sideways. At 20X '95 estimated earnings, the
market is fairly valued. The Thai economy will continue to grow robustly because
of substantial direct investments in infrastructure and manufacturing projects.

Singapore lagged the Index and other regional markets during the first six
months of the year. In U.S. dollar terms, Singapore rose by 4%, attributable
entirely to the 4.1% appreciation of the Singapore dollar (versus the U.S.
dollar) this year. Although capital inflows pushed the Singapore dollar higher
against the U.S. dollar, the market did not benefit from improved liquidity for
several reasons. First, the system was already flush with liquidity as
inter-bank rates hovered below 2%. Second, the Singapore dollar weakened
slightly against regional currencies, suggesting that investors believed that
other markets afforded better opportunities. Also contributing to the market's
sluggishness was the economy's slowdown; the GDP growth rate downshifted to a
sustainable 7.2% per annum level. At 21X '95 estimated earnings, the market's
valuation is attractive both relative to historical ranges and to local interest
rates.

Notwithstanding lingering concerns over the strength of the rupiah, liquidity
draining IPOs and rising debt servicing costs due to the appreciation of the
yen, Indonesia still managed to gain 8.0% over the first two quarters. Lower
U.S. bond yields and the passage of further trade liberalization measures
resulted in a positive credit re-rating of the archipelago, bolstering the
confidence of overseas investors.

The Philippines market showed great resiliency during the first half of the
year. In the wake of the Mexican peso crisis, foreign investors sold massively
during the first quarter, driving the index down by 16%. To defend the
Philippines peso, the Central Bank raised interest rates significantly. During
the second quarter, however, the market rebounded 17%, principally because
concerns over the peso subsided, bank reserve requirements were lowered and
strong corporate results were reported. With inflation below 7%, we believe the
market to be slightly below fair market value at 20X '95 estimated earnings and
feel further that the market is broadly representative of the underlying growth
story of the country.

Korea and Taiwan were Asia's worst performing markets over the first six months
of 1995, losing 3.3% and a staggering 23.3%, respectively. Despite strong GDP
growth (9.9% in 1Q95) and persistent efforts by the Korean authorities to
support the market -- the foreign shareholding limit was increased from 12% to
15%, the Stockmarket Stabilization Fund was reactivated and investment trusts
were directed to become net buyers of stocks -- the market still drifted into
negative territory as the stubbornly high 3-year corporate bond benchmark yield
(15%) dampened investor enthusiasm for equities. Taiwan plunged as the weakening
real estate market posed a growing non-performing loan problem, thereby
threatening the well-being of the financial and banking systems. Only the
electronics sector remained impervious to selling pressures as sales and
earnings continued to exceed expectations.

Looking ahead, we are relatively neutral about Asian markets. We expect to
slightly underweight HongKong given our belief that the Hang Seng will remain
trading range bound for the rest of the year. In particular, the Portfolio will
steer clear of the property counter, which shows no signs of staging a marked
recovery from the bottom of its cycle. HongKong's performance will be determined
by the outlook for China, whose macro picture is expected to improve by year
end. We expect that the Portfolio will market weight Malaysia, looking to
capitalize on a possible further re-rating of the market. Given the strong
performance already recorded by the big cap stocks, the Portfolio will
increasingly shift its orientation towards medium cap stocks which have strong
earnings growth potential. In Singapore, the Portfolio will maintain a benchmark
weighting and will focus on

OVERVIEW

THE ASIAN EQUITY PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
stocks with a strong regional presence, such as banks, as well as large,
diversified blue-chip property companies. The Portfolio will assume a benchmark
weighting towards Thailand, with stock selection focusing on the banking and
communications sectors. Banks and communication companies are expected to
benefit from the lower interest rate environment as well as the formation of a
new coalition government. We expect that the Portfolio will market weight
Indonesia, looking to participate actively in the market's major IPOs. The
Portfolio will overweight the Philippines, investing primarily in the blue-chip
conglomerates with particular emphasis on those with exposure to
telecommunications and property. The Portfolio will invest selectively in
Taiwan, focusing exclusively on the electronics sector. The Portfolio will
underweight Korea and will concentrate its holdings in Samsung Electronics and
Korea Mobile Telecom, both of which are expected to exhibit robust growth. We
will also seek to identify Korean banks, such as Shinhan Bank, which are trading
below their book values despite strong balance sheets and negligible
non-performing loans.

MEASURED BY THE IFC GLOBAL TOTAL RETURN REGIONAL OR COUNTRY INDICES AND ARE FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A GUARANTEE OF THE
PORTFOLIO'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE. PAST PERFORMANCE SHOWN IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF
FUTURE PERFORMANCE. 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. PLEASE SEE THE PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISK
CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTING.

The investment objective of the Emerging Markets Portfolio is to provide
long-term capital appreciation by investing in common stocks and preferred
stocks of emerging country issuers.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was -7.46% compared to -8.47% for the IFC Global Total Return Composite Index
for the same period. Total returns for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and
the average annual total return for the period from inception in September 1992
through June 30, 1995 were -7.35% and 18.25%, respectively, compared to -1.32%
and 18.86% for the IFC Global Total Return Composite Index for the same periods.

The second quarter of 1995 saw a rebound in confidence in the emerging markets
as Latin America significantly outperformed Asia. In the Portfolio, overweight
positions in Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Israel, Greece, Indonesia and Hong Kong and
an underweight position in Taiwan all added to relative performance. India and
Pakistan, however, exerted some drag on the overall return.

Asia rose 1.3% over the three month period ended June 30, 1995 led by the
Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Sentiment in Asia is sensitive to
the direction of U.S. interest rates and the recent Federal Reserve easing
created a rally in most of the Asian markets. The outlook for Asian growth,
while slightly slower in 1995 than in 1994, is still very positive. A slowing
U.S. economy is now not such a negative for Asian growth. While OECD economic
growth has historically been the dominant factor impacting Asia's export led
economies, more recently however intra-Asian trade has become more important. In
the 1980's one-third of Asian exports went to the U.S. and one quarter went to
Asia. By 1994 these weightings had reversed and intra-Asian trade now accounts
for 32% of total Asian exports. The weak U.S. dollar also boosts Asian and other
emerging market trade with the non-U.S. OECD economies. The anticipated pick-up
in economic growth in Japan should draw in imports from Thailand, Indonesia, the
Philippines, Korea and Taiwan.

By heavily underweighting Taiwan, the Portfolio avoided some of the 16% fall in
the Taipei stock market. Several factors led to the decline including a weak
real estate market and fears of China's retaliation against the visit of the
Taiwan president to the U.S. Taiwan is no longer the most expensive market in
Asia and we are looking closely at the opportunities available there.

OVERVIEW
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO (CONT.)

Latin America bounced 19.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. This time the
"Tequila effect" was positive. With the exception of Argentina, all markets in
the region performed strongly with Brazil up 15.9% and Mexico rising 27.1% from
its oversold position.

Tangible economic progress is being seen in Brazil. The likely reduction in
inflation to 40% year-on-year by December 1995 compared to a monthly rate of 40%
a year ago testify to the success of the Real Plan. Although constitutional
reform is likely to be protracted, President Cardoso continues to move toward
some privatization of the telecommunications, oil, mining and electricity
sectors. Brazil has one of the strongest economies in the region and remains the
largest single country exposure of the Portfolio.

Mexico has swiftly moved out of the intensive care department. A sharp austerity
program has been implemented and inflation is dropping significantly, paving the
way for interest rate declines and positive economic growth in 1996. A strong
export sector has limited the depth of the recession to a decline of 4.0% at
worst, for 1995. Mexico's currency weakness has put the country in a win-win
situation in merchandise trade. Exports to dollar based countries are boosted
while weakness of the U.S. dollar itself gives Mexico the ability to broaden its
export base. Mexican steel producers are now among the cheapest in the world.

The financial credibility of Mexico improves daily. Tesobono holders and foreign
lenders to Mexican banks are likely to be paid in full. Banks and infrastructure
stocks in Mexico have been the star performers in the quarter.

European markets had a buoyant quarter. Poland recovered 35.8%, Hungary 13.8%
and Greece and Turkey both around 10%. As a region, Europe has outpaced Latin
America and Asia in performance terms year-to-date, the stock markets are still
cheap and foreign investment in the region continues to build up steam. The
Portfolio is overweight in Europe.

The biggest potential opportunity we see lies in Russia. In April, the IMF made
the second largest loan in it's history ($6.46 billion) to Russia based on the
political and Central Bank resolve to reduce inflation and the budget deficit.
The rouble has been strengthening recently after losing almost one-third of its
value against the U.S. dollar between January and April. By late 1995, we expect
the economy to show positive growth after years of decline. On an international
comparison, Russian companies are cheap. The bond and equity markets have
shrugged off President Yeltsin's recent heart attack suggesting that the
political situation is also more stable. The Prime Minister Victor
Chernomyrdin's standing has increased on two counts. First he is being given
credit for the reforms that have stabilized the economy and second he
successfully handled the Chechen hostage crisis.

We continue to be positively disposed to India although the stock market has
suffered from political uncertainty and settlement problems. The corporate
sector is healthy and producing earnings growth in excess of 30%.

In conclusion, while confidence is returning to the emerging markets, there is
little sign of investor complacency or over-valuation. There remains scope for
the emerging markets to move upwards from here.

1. The MSCI Europe Index is an unmanaged market value weighted index of common
   stocks listed on the stock exchanges of countries in Europe (assumes
   dividends reinvested).

2. Total returns for the Portfolio reflect expenses waived or reimbursed, if

The investment objective of the European Equity Portfolio is to seek long-term
capital growth through investment in common stocks of European issuers. Common
stocks for this purpose include stocks and equivalents such as securities
convertible into common stocks and securities having equity characteristics,
such as rights and warrants to purchase common stock.

The approach taken in selecting investments for the Portfolio is oriented to
individual stock selection and is value driven. The initial step in identifying
attractive undervalued securities is the screening of European databases. Stocks
are screened for undervaluation on two primary criteria, cash flow and book
value, and three secondary criteria, earnings, sales and yield. Once stocks have
been selected from this screening process, they are put through detailed
fundamental analysis. Important areas covered during this in-depth study include
the companies balance sheet and cash flow, franchise, products, management and
the strategic value of the assets.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 11.10% as compared to 12.87% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International
(MSCI) Europe Index for the same period. Total returns for the twelve months
ended June 30, 1995 and the average annual total return for the period from
inception in April 1993 through June 30, 1995 were 12.15% and 22.94%,
respectively, compared to 18.78% and 16.20% for the MSCI Europe Index for the
same periods.

Following a difficult first quarter the Portfolio recovered well to outperform
the Index in the second quarter. There was a combination of reasons for the
underperformance of the Portfolio earlier in the year. Overall, this was not a
good period for value investors following two good years in 1993 and 1994. In
particular, companies with cyclical characteristics which are cheap on price to
book value, performed worse while growth companies generally performed better.
More recently we have seen a partial reversal in this situation with value
stocks and especially cyclicals showing signs of recovery. During the first six
months, we have benefited from our overweight positions in Switzerland and the
Netherlands while the overweight in Italy has hurt the performance as this is
the only European market showing a negative return, in U.S. dollars for the
period.

In the first half of 1995 we have seen steady growth in most European economies
following the faster than anticipated economic recovery in 1994. Last year
growth was largely driven by a pick-up in exports and significant restocking
from low levels. It is clear that stocks are now at more normal levels while
most

OVERVIEW
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE EUROPEAN EQUITY PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
economies are benefiting from a pick-up in domestic demand and exports.
Throughout the majority of 1994 there was an environment of falling interest
rates across the continent, however, this pattern has now changed. In Spain and
Italy inflation has become a key concern and led to higher interest rates. Two
of the primary reasons for increased inflation has been currency weakness and
higher commodity prices. Although currency weakness has been detrimental to
inflation it has clearly benefited export volumes. The situation is quite
different in the 'hard' currency markets including Germany, Switzerland and the
Netherlands. The threat of higher inflation is not a problem in these markets
and interest rates have come down and could fall further this year. With the
pick- up in the European economies we have seen small improvement in
unemployment rates across Europe. Levels of unemployment remain higher, however,
as in Spain, for example where the unemployment rate remains above 23%.

In this environment we continue to find cheap good quality companies in
continental markets rather than in the U.K. The lack of equity culture in many
of the markets allows us to find cheap investment opportunities especially among
the small and medium sized companies. We are currently concentrating on
companies that are cheap relative to their cash flow and are putting particular
emphasis on free cash flow. Looking forward, we remain optimistic that we will
continue to find good quality companies that fit our valuation criteria.

During the first six months we added the following new ideas to the program.

Following its acquisition of Banesto, Santander has repositioned itself as the
main domestic bank in Spain. Recovery of non-performing loans, lower cost of
funding and aggressive cost cutting should drive Banesto earnings recovery above
Pts. 40bn, the dilutive threshold for Santander. The bank's tier ratios are
above 10% and it consolidated coverage of doubtful loans above 100%,
substantially stronger than its European competitors. The valuation should
benefit from the trend of lower provisioning and higher productivity, both
leading to a normalized ROE above 15%.

BSM is the only nationwide driving tuition chain with a 15% market share and
strong brand recognition in a fragmented market. In total, it has 139 offices
through which the franchised driving instructors operate. The group generates
substantial amounts of free cash flow and is placed for strong growth in the
future.

Tate and Lyle is one of the world's best known sugar and sweetener brands,
operating across the globe in both regulated and unregulated markets. Unlike
some sugar companies it has expanded into related business and is particularly
strong in the U.K. and U.S. Establishing its global network has led to increased
debt levels but the company is now producing strong cash flow to service this
debt and continue to grow the business.

WPP is a leading advertising company with a strong global presence. It is placed
to benefit from the pick-up in world economies and is currently cheap following
shareholder uncertainty after financial restructuring.

Christian Salvesen is a leading support services company with principal
operations in contract distribution, hire of power and temperature control
equipment and food processing. Each of their business areas have a strong market
position and they benefit from good levels of repeat business. It is highly cash
generative covering capital expenditure as well as reduction in debt levels.

1. The MSCI World Index is an unmanaged index of common stocks and includes
   securities listed on the stock exchanges of the U.S., Europe, Canada,
   Australia, New Zealand and the Far East (assumes dividends reinvested).

2. Total returns for the Portfolio reflect expenses waived and reimbursed, if
   applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waiver and reimbursement, total
   returns would be lower.

THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS PROVIDED IN THIS OVERVIEW ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES
ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A GUARANTEE OF THE PORTFOLIO'S FUTURE
PERFORMANCE. PAST PERFORMANCE SHOWN IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
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.
PLEASE SEE THE PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTING.

The Global Equity Portfolio is managed with the objective of obtaining a high
total return by investing in markets worldwide, including the United States.
Investments may also be made with discretion in smaller companies or emerging
markets.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 12.11% as compared to 9.14% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International
(MSCI) World Index for the same period. The total returns for the twelve months
ended June 30, 1995 and the average annual total return for the period from
inception in July 1992 through June 30, 1995 were 12.95% and 19.31%,
respectively, compared to 10.67% and 11.69% for the MSCI World Index for the
same periods.

The Portfolio benefited during the period under review from a significantly
underweight Japanese position and significant overweight positions in both
Switzerland and the Netherlands, which were among Europe's strongest
performances in local currency terms during the first six months of 1995.

The predominant message from the economic releases during the first half is
weakness. In the U.S., first quarter GDP grew at a 2.7% annual pace,
considerably slower than the 5.1% shown in the fourth quarter of 1994. The Fed
had become increasingly fearful of a premature recession and cut interest rates
to keep the level of economic activity stable. We have also seen other rate cuts
in Japan and Germany both of which will enhance the sustainability of a global
recovery. In the case of Japan, it was perhaps an eleventh hour move to overcome
the deflationary effects of a strong Yen.

In general, we remain positive on the investment outlook for the balance of
1995. The slow growth, lackluster inflation environment that we envisage should
provide a positive environment for stocks through the end of 1995 and beyond.
The interest rate cuts that have occurred should bode well for corporate
earning's growth over the next twelve months. This outlook, however, does not
incorporate the economic and stock market consequences of a Japanese bank
declaring bankruptcy.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL
INVESTING.

The Gold Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing
primarily in the equity securities of foreign and domestic issuers engaged in
gold-related activities.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 7.47% as compared to 10.95% for the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index for
the same period. The total return for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and
the average annual total return for the period from inception in February 1994
through June 30, 1995 were 10.62% and -1.18%, respectively, for the Portfolio,
compared to 5.62% and -8.52% for the Philadelphia Gold and Silver (XAU) Index
for the same periods.

A few large capitalization North American shares dominated performance which
made it extremely difficult to match the returns of the narrow based XAU Index.
Australian and South African shares did considerably poorer, as did many mid-and
smaller capitalization issues. The market demonstrated a preference for
liquidity rather than value, something we expect will begin to equalize.

Most precious metals markets made their recent lows within the first few weeks
of the new year and rallied into a mid-April high. During this period, gold
traded nearly tick-for-tick with the Japanese yen, making new highs as the U.S.
dollar weakened to post-W.W.II lows against major currencies. Gold's early
second quarter rise was primarily a U.S. dollar phenomenon, as the Japanese yen
gold price continued to decline to levels not seen since the mid 1970s. The
subsequent U.S. dollar recovery saw gold erase most of the gains achieved on the
year, though gold shares have held up better.

Toward the end of the quarter, gold price movements began to de-couple from
currency fluctuations. A late quarter rally, lasting from roughly mid-May to
mid-June was precipitated, in part, by the potential easing of U.S. short-term
interest rates as a response to a slowing U.S. economy. Lower rates decrease the
opportunity cost of holding gold, increasing its relative attractiveness as a
store of value.

Strong physical demand, a decrease in worldwide mine production, and slowing
central bank sales have all helped maintain a floor under the gold price.
Combined with consistent producer selling towards the $400 price level, gold has
maintained its tight trading range experienced in 1994.

The World Gold Council, which first monitored a pick-up in worldwide demand
during mid-1994, continues to see high demand from both developing and developed
countries. During the first quarter of 1995

OVERVIEW

THE GOLD PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
(the most recent data available), Asian demand strengthened with Southeast Asia
and South Korea reporting record quarterly demand. Apart from a decline in
Mexico, nearly all developing country gold markets showed gains. Among developed
countries, both jewelry and investment demand picked up in Japan as well as
investment demand in Germany. This increased demand reflects both (1) lower gold
prices measured in local currencies and (2) a new demand for gold among the
Japanese consumer following the Kobe earthquake.

On the supply side, Gold Field Mineral Services reported that 1994 marked the
first drop in mine output in 20 years. Lower South African mine production,
induced by labor disruptions and an increased number of worker holidays
following the April 1994 general election, was the primary driving force. As
Anglo-American Corporation recently reported, this trend is expected to continue
for 1995, with South African production expected to fall another 12 percent.
Although this forecast appears bleak for the South African gold mining industry,
we believe that it is in all parties' best interest (mine workers and
management) for labor negotiations to lead towards a 24-hour continuous shift
schedule. Such an agreement would allow for increased productivity, production,
and employment.

Among central banks, European central bank sales have slowed considerably from
the pace of recent years, with Belgium sales earlier this year an exception.
Current European activity appears to reflect a shuffling of reserves between
individual countries and the European Monetary Institute prior to the potential
establishment of a single European currency. Countries with troubled government
financial situations, such as Italy, remain potential sources of supply as
serious monetary and fiscal situations may induce forced selling of gold
reserves. As an example, the World Gold Council reported that Canada's selling
program resumed in April, although only 3+ million ounces remain in Canadian
central bank reserves.

During the second quarter, potential sales of the International Monetary Fund's
("IMF") gold reserves were reported. At present, the issue appears dead, as both
Germany and Japan have opposed any sale. Since IMF gold sales require a minimum
of 85% of the voting membership, Germany and Japan can effectively veto any
proposed sale.

Viewed from an international perspective, the international gold price has held
above major lows established in 1991-1992 for most major currencies -- except
for Japanese yen terms. Although a rise in the U.S. dollar price of gold does
not require gold to rise in Japanese yen terms, a rising gold price in a basket
of currencies (yen included) provides fuel for potentially greater price moves,
as global investors drive investment flows the same way. The current
deflationary conditions experienced by Japan may have contributed to new lows in
the yen price of gold this year. We are tempted to say that until Japan's
deflation ends, the world price of gold will continue to be range-bound. We
recognize that a Japan reflation may not be a necessary condition for the yen
gold price to rise, but it would certainly help. Already, investment demand has
shown signs of increasing with the yen gold price down to levels not seen since
the mid 1970s. Additionally, investors may seek gold as an alternate portfolio
vehicle in the event of weaker domestic market performance.

Gold continues to exhibit the attributes of a fundamentally strong investment
class. We are focusing our efforts on owning the best in-the-ground gold and
precious metals resources, with a preference for quality management, strong
balance sheets, good cash flow, and the ability to expand reserves. Our
positions are growing in the Australian sector where we see the greatest amount
of reserve growth through exploration success using a variety of modern
exploration technology. We are also encouraged by the direction of mining labor
policy in South Africa and are surveying the significantly lower valuation
levels for opportunities there.

PLEASE SEE THE PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTING.

The investment objective of the International Equity Portfolio is long-term
capital appreciation through investment primarily in common stocks of non-U.S.
issuers. Common stocks for this purpose include common stocks and equivalents,
such as securities convertible into common stocks, and securities having common
stock characteristics, such as rights and warrants to purchase common stocks.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1995 the Portfolio had a total return of
4.88% as compared to 2.60% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI)
EAFE Index for the same period. The total return for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1995 and the average annual total return for the five-year period ended
June 30, 1995 and for the period from inception in August 1989 through June 30,
1995 were 7.76%, 9.08% and 10.59%, respectively, as compared to 1.65%, 4.69% and
2.45% for the Index for the same periods.

The marked outperformance of the benchmark was attributable to the Portfolio's
radical underweight in the weak Japanese stockmarket and strong relative returns
achieved in markets such as Switzerland, The Netherlands, Italy and Japan.
Portfolio activity during the quarter was very light, some profits being taken
in the U.K. and some mild averaging down being carried out in Japan. This
process is likely to continue into the third quarter, and an imminent visit to
Japan may provide some new investment opportunities in this depressed market.

However, it is our belief that the Japanese authorities are still
underestimating the threat to their banking system posed by the deflationary
effects of the recent Yen excessive strength. We are extremely concerned at the
prospect of bankruptcies in the manufacturing sector as a significant portion of
Japan's (unlisted) manufacturing sector faces extinction. The sheer scale of the
reliquification required to get the Japanese economy out of this deflationary
malaise is likely to be unprecedented. Outside of Japan, the world offers
moderate non-inflationary growth, and we are reasonably confident that the U.S.
can resume economic growth after the autumn. Pricing power, however, remains
very weak, so corporate profits outside the technology and weak currency stock
markets will be hard to come by compared to past cycles.

GERMANY

The Morgan Stanley Capital International Germany Index increased by 8.1% in U.S.
dollar terms and by 9.3% in local currency terms during the second quarter of
1995. Following stronger than anticipated economic growth in 1994, the most
recent numbers in 1995 have been disappointing. Restocking was one of

the main driving forces behind economic recovery last year, representing 1% of
the total 2.4% increase in West German GDP. Recent surveys indicate, however,
that stocks are now at normal levels. Pan-German industrial production in March
fell by 3.2% month-on-month. In the manufacturing sectors consumer durables and
consumer goods have performed badly, while capital goods continue to grow helped
by demand from around Europe. Though consumer spending was hit in the first
quarter by the solidarity surcharge, data from the second quarter is more
positive particularly for car registrations and retail sales. The continued
strength of the Deutsche mark has not yet been reflected in export orders as
many companies' order books were filled last year. Inflation remains low helped
by the strength of the Deutsche mark, this, together with continuing high
unemployment, increases the likelihood of further interest rate cuts later in
the year. In this environment we continue to find high quality, good value
investments both in the domestic and export sectors.

FRANCE

During the second quarter of 1995 the Morgan Stanley Capital International
France Index increased by 0.4% in U.S. dollar terms and by 1.5% in French Franc
terms making it the weakest European market during the period, following a
strong first quarter. In the first six months of the year France has suffered
more than most from the falling U.S. dollar. It is experiencing an unusual
simultaneous increase in interest rates and the exchange rate. This has made the
trading environment more difficult for many companies particularly those in the
export sector. Following the election victory by Jacques Chirac there has been
uncertainty in the financial markets driven by speculation concerning the new
administration's economic policies. In June a mini-budget was announced which
included a 2% increase in VAT. There are also plans to increase the minimum wage
by 4%, putting further pressure on other wage agreements. Both of these factors
should result in higher headline inflation. Unemployment, however, is slowly
falling and a May survey showed consumer confidence at its highest level since
1990. Despite the continued weakness of the French equity market over recent
years it is not a market in which we have been easily able to find cheap good
quality companies, particularly among the larger businesses.

SWITZERLAND

The Morgan Stanley Capital International Switzerland Index rose by 9.8% in U.S.
dollar terms and by 12.3% in Swiss Franc terms in the second quarter of 1995.
This performance makes it one of the strongest European performers over the
quarter, though the larger companies continued to outperform small
capitalization stocks. The most notable feature of the Swiss market in recent
months has been the continued strength of the Swiss Franc. This remains a
drawback for export growth and tourism but has a positive effect on inflation
and interest rates. The strong Franc also helps companies costs by lowering
import prices for raw materials. The most recent statistics show that there
continues to be very little inflationary pressure and the average rate should
stay around 2%. There had been concern that the introduction of VAT at the
beginning of the year would lead to an increase in inflation, but this has not
occurred. There is a possibility that interest rates could actually fall further
later in the year. We continue to find cheap, well managed companies in
Switzerland, particularly in the small and medium size ranges.

NETHERLANDS

In the second quarter of 1995 the Morgan Stanley Capital International
Netherlands Index increased by 5.8% in U.S. dollar terms and by 7.2% in local
currency terms. The gradual improvement of the Dutch economy has continued
through the first half of 1995. Recent indicators show that this growth is being
driven by domestic demand while fears remain that the continued strength of the
Guilder may dampen the rate of export growth. The growth rate in the first
quarter was 3.4%, the largest increase since 1990. The strong Guilder is helping
to maintain low inflation. While consumer price inflation (CPI) was 2.8% in
1994, an average rate nearer to 2% is expected in 1995. Unlike some European
countries there is little inflationary pressure from wage growth, up only
modestly in the first quarter. This environment allowed the Dutch authorities to
cut interest rates in early June by 0.25% and the three month rates are now
below those in Germany. The Dutch market continues to be a good source of cheap,
high quality companies for the value investor.

SPAIN

During the second quarter of 1995 the Morgan Stanley Capital International Spain
Index rose by 15.1% in U.S. dollar terms and by 10.6% in local currency terms.
This performance makes it one of the top performing European markets over this
period. As stated in our last investment report this is a market which looks
unattractive from a top-down view but it continues to offer good opportunities
for the bottom-up investor. There continues to be inflationary pressure due to
the VAT rate hike, higher import prices,

and increased food prices, due to the severe drought in many regions of the
country. Political uncertainty continues following a poor showing by the
government in local elections and this is putting further pressure on the
peseta. The Bank of Spain has already raised interest rates twice this year and
it may have to act again. There has been positive news with an increase in
industrial capacity utilization this year and investment spending was up by 8.3%
in the first quarter. Although there has been a small fall in unemployment, the
rate is still 23% of the population. There continues to be good investment
opportunities in both the electrical and telephone utilities.

ITALY

The Morgan Stanley Capital International Italy Index increased by 7.4% in U.S.
dollar terms and by 3.6% in Italian Lira terms in the second quarter. Like
Spain, Italy continues to suffer from political uncertainty and economic
worries, although there has been some positive news recently. Inflation remains
the key concern due to higher commodity prices coupled with the devaluation of
the Lira. The increase in VAT in the March mini-budget has also created
inflationary pressure. Though the weak Lira has been detrimental to inflation,
it has clearly benefited export volumes, which rose more than 10% in the second
half of 1994, a trend that has continued into this year. In general, the
economic recovery is still on track despite monetary and fiscal tightening.
Investment in machinery and equipment remains high and the rate of capacity
utilization continues to rise steadily. The economic recovery has also been
reflected in the job market with the number of unemployed falling slowly to the
current 12% level. For the equity investor, company valuation levels show that
Italy is one of the cheapest markets in Europe.

UNITED KINGDOM

In the second quarter of 1995 the Morgan Stanley Capital International U.K.
Index increased by 3.9% in U.S. dollar terms and by 6.4% in local currency.
Economic data was generally in line with expectations, broadly supporting a
slowing down economy. Manufacturing output fell to 2.3% year-on-year in April
1995 compared to 3.8% year-on-year in March 1995, but this was still slightly at
variance with the CBI's industrial trends survey showing a strong backdrop,
particularly in exports. Inflation gradually deteriorated, as expected, rising
to 2.7% year-on-year in May 1995 compared to 2.6% year-on-year in April 1995.
Further deterioration appears to be in the pipeline. Retail sales strengthened
slightly to 1.1% year-on-year in May 1995 following an unexpectedly weak April
(0.9% year-on-year), fueling hopes that the dull outlook may be lifting.

Interest rate-sensitive cyclicals continued to perform badly, with
building/construction and building materials still sliding. In addition, extreme
cyclicals such as British Steel suffered further de-rating in spite of excellent
results as investors attempt to kibbitz peak earnings. Food retailing was a top
performer in the quarter, partly due to evidence (rare across the U.K. market)
of pricing inflation. General retailing, however, performed badly reflecting the
current sluggish environment.

Interest rates remained unchanged during the quarter at 6.75%, reflecting the
Chancellor's upper hand in a public disagreement with the Governor of the Bank
of England on 5th May. Although the former was borne out by economic data
showing a slowing economy, further tightening of 50 to 100 basis points is
expected if the government wishes to meet treasury year-end inflation forecasts.

The latter part of the quarter was dominated by growing concern over the
political fragility of Prime Minister John Major, with rising gilt yields
dragging down the market. Market unease has focused on the policies that any
successful contender would subsequently have to adopt to stand a chance of
uniting the Conservative party and of winning the next election. Major's recent
victory may not entirely dissipate such fears. In particular, there are
suspicions that the government may go soft on inflation, despite rhetoric to the
contrary. Value still remains scarce in current market conditions.

JAPAN

The Japanese stockmarket continued to weaken in the second quarter, with the
Morgan Stanley Capital International Japan Index declining by 8.3% in Japanese
yen and 6.3% in U.S. dollar terms. Though the end of this quarter did see an
eleventh hour resolution to the auto components dispute with the U.S., this has
not dispersed the deflationary pall enveloping the Japanese economy attributable
to the overvaluation of the yen skillfully engineered by the U.S. administration
in March. It has taken less than three months for the deflationary effects of
yen strength to begin to be reflected in economic activity with involuntary
inventory build ups becoming evident in June. Whatever government action is
taken to reflate the economy, it is unlikely to prevent a meaningful increase in
bankruptcies in the manufacturing sector as autumn approaches. The banking
system is in no condition to withstand this further assault on its

weakened capital structure and the likelihood of a major bankruptcy is perhaps
greater than generally perceived. With this is mind, huge tracts of the Japanese
stockmarket appear overvalued and none more so than the banking sector which on
the simple yardstick of price to net interest income is selling at close to four
times the rating of its western counterparts when the latent argument has been
whittled away by a combination of a weak stockmarket and stock sales to offset
loan write offs. Having said that, Japan boasts a number of high quality,
soundly financed global and domestic franchises which will adapt to the strong
yen environment through the efficient application of strong cash flow. It is
encouraging to find companies such as Kao Corporation and Fuji Photo selling at
a discount to their international peer group when the bond rate hurdle for
equities is more than fifty per cent lower than elsewhere. Therefore the current
weakness of the Japanese stockmarket should be used to increase weightings in
these areas, while it should be noted that there is a marked absence of the all
important consensus required in Japan for its economic problems to be addressed.
If no plan is devised to reliquify the economy a shock from within the banking
system will force the hand of Japan's muddled authorities.

HONG KONG

During the second quarter the Morgan Stanley Capital International Hong Kong
Index appreciated 8.2% in U.S. dollar terms and 8.3% in Hong Kong Dollar terms.
The market benefited from clear evidence of a slowing U.S. economy as any
subsequent fall in U.S. interest rates is deemed to be positive for Hong Kong's
rate sensitive property sector. Hence it has been the property development and
banking sectors that have led the market with investment property stocks
remaining subdued by the negative development in retail and commercial rentals.

While the Hong Kong economy is continuing to thrive as an entrepot between China
and the Western World, consumption is being retarded by a combination of a
depressed residential property market and the erosion of real earnings by
continued high levels of inflation. We do not believe that Hong Kong is in a
position to lower interest rates significantly unless and until inflation falls
to more moderate levels. Therefore we do not share the markets optimistic view
of Hong Kong's residential property market. Current share price levels, in our
view, discount a moderate recovery in volume and values of residential sales
later this year which is unlikely to eventuate. Given the high gearing of
developers' earnings statements to two factors, profits are likely to disappoint
next calendar year. If this is correct, the value in the market resides in the
depressed property investment sector where a very substantial slowdown is
already discounted.

AUSTRALIA

During the second quarter the Morgan Stanley Capital International Australia
Index advanced 6.7% in Australian dollars and 3.1% in U.S. dollar terms, driven
by strong performance from News Corporation and the banking sector.

Currency weakness was a notable feature of the period under review as investors
took fright at a severe deterioration in Australia's structurally weak current
account. This in turn leaves the Central Bank little choice but to continue its
tight monetary policy, which has already slowed domestic economic activity. In
this environment it is not surprising that the industrial sector put in a
lackluster performance, while stagnation at high levels in the world's metal
markets has been reflected in a lackluster performance from the resource sector.
There is clear value in this market which is unlikely to be realized as long as
the macroeconomics environment remains so discouraging. However, any further
weakness should be used as a buying opportunity since Australia boasts business
franchises and operational management of the highest caliber at discount prices
on a global basis.

The International Small Cap Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in the common stocks of non-U.S. issuers. The Portfolio
applies a disciplined bottom-up value approach to identify and invest in small
capitalization companies which are both attractive businesses and available at
cheap prices. A market capitalization cut-off of US$500 million is used as our
definition of "small."

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 2.03% as compared to 2.60% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International
(MSCI) EAFE Index for the same period. Total return for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1995 and the average annual total return for the period from inception
in December 1992 through June 30, 1995 were -5.23% and 19.58%, respectively,
compared to 1.65% and 16.16% for the MSCI EAFE Index for the same periods.

The relative performance of the Portfolio has been extremely volatile during the
last six months reflecting the large cap bias of the MSCI EAFE Index and the
broad divergence between small and large cap returns. During the first few
months of the year the Portfolio enjoyed strong outperformance reflecting the
general resilience of small cap prices in weak markets. The extreme turbulence
in the currency markets in March, however, dictated the direction of the markets
and small caps underperformed. Weak currency markets rallied but investors
favored more liquid issues/blue chips over small caps and together with the
negative impact of the Portfolio's Yen, Deutsche mark and Swiss Franc hedges led
to significant underperformance.

The rally in most markets in the early months of the second quarter was slow to
feed through to small caps but was clearly evident in the latter weeks. Japan
has remained the exception, however, with the market falling a further 8% in Yen
terms and Japanese smaller companies have continued to underperform. The
Portfolio's extreme underweighting in this market, together with its
overweighting in the strong Australian and Swiss markets, contributed to the
marked outperformance of the Portfolio in the second quarter. Good relative
stock selection in the Netherlands, New Zealand and Australia were also
features.

Looking forward we do not anticipate any major shift in the Portfolio's
geographic mix. This is purely a product of bottom-up stock selection and the
majority of new research ideas coming through in our value screens are still in
Continental Europe and Australia. Given the exceptionally weak relative
performance of Japanese small caps, however, some new, albeit

OVERVIEW

THE INTERNATIONAL SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
patchy, value is emerging and may drive up the Portfolio's extremely low
weighting in that market. Our concerns over the general lack of quality among
smaller companies in Japan remains. Japanese small caps are typically more
domestically oriented than their larger cap counterparts, and have had the most
to gain both from Japan's historic protectionism and the patronage of the
Keiretsu system. Unfortunately, this leaves them most vulnerable to the gradual
liberalization of trade, i.e. increasing international competition, and the more
active restructuring by larger companies, their long-term customers. This is a
recipe for large scale bankruptcies among Japan's small manufacturing companies
with Yen strength the debilitating deflationary catalyst.

Since quarter end the Bank of Japan has cut short term rates and substantially
eased money supply; the subsequent weakness of the Yen clearly easing pressure
on corporate Japan. The long-term problems facing many smaller companies in
Japan, however, remain and we will continue to focus our research effort on
those Japanese small caps that are not only cheaply valued but have strong
business franchises and internationally competitive products.

Despite some renewed strength in international small caps in recent weeks, the
valuation gap between large and small cap companies remains compelling. A spate
of corporate activity in smaller companies is testament to the fact that many
high quality smaller companies are being too cheaply rated by the market. This
can only bode well for their long-term re-rating.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTING.

The investment objective of the Japanese Equity Portfolio is to seek long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of Japanese
issuers. Equity securities are defined as common and preferred stocks, debt
securities convertible into common stock and common stock purchase warrants.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was -16.68% as compared to -8.32% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International
(MSCI) Japan Index for the same period. The total return for the twelve months
ended June 30, 1995 and the average annual total return for the period from
inception in April 1994 through June 30, 1995 was -21.33% and -15.56%,
respectively, as compared to -14.35% and -5.21% for the MSCI Japan Index for the
same periods.

On May 14th the official discount rate in Japan was cut by 75 basis points (to
1%) and the Japanese government suggested issuing deficit bonds and proposed to
resolve Japanese banks' non-performing loans within 5 years. The equity market
responded well in June to these economic stimulus packages after the severe
sell-off following the Hanshin Earthquake, rise in yen and Barings scandal of
the first quarter as well as public confirmation of change in Japan with the
election of Mr. Aoshima (Tokyo) and Mr. Yokoyama (Osaka) as governors. However,
equities continued their decline thereafter.

A major culprit to this decline in the market was the relentless strength of the
yen, reaching an all-time high of 79.75 on April 19, undermining Japan's
economic recovery. Moreover, the stalled U.S./Japan auto talks which began on
May 4 coupled with the gas on Japan's subway system caused significant
deterioration of consumer confidence, and resulted in market sentiment becoming
more negative. In addition, Japanese life companies massive selling of equities
coupled with business corporations' cancellation of cross-holdings led to
sharply lower levels in the market not seen since August 1992.

However, despite these circumstances, a stability in the yen/dollar exchange
began to emerge starting with the coordinated intervention by the U.S. and Japan
as well as 12 other countries on May 31. Of significance, in our opinion, is the
fact that this intervention occurred in the last day of trading for the month,
typically when traders are not permitted to take large positions. This is
evidence of the government's true intentions. The G-7 apparently wishes Japan to
accelerate economic recovery, currently the weakest among these nations, as well
as, for political reasons, a stronger dollar into the presidential elections
next

OVERVIEW
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE JAPANESE EQUITY PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
year in the U.S. During the mid-June Halifax G-7 Summit meeting we believe there
was an even stronger suggestion by G-7 for Japan to address it's weak economy
and therefore a weaker yen policy, much like a reversal of the Plaza accord of
1985, may have taken effect.

Thus, as a result of the weaker yen both blue chips and dollar sensitive
equities conformed to this trend by staging a dramatic rally during the last
several weeks of June. The Portfolio has been significantly overweight in these
areas and has benefited from this weighting. However, the domestic sensitive
stocks such as the machinery stocks and the chemical stocks didn't contribute to
the performance in this period. And the currency hedge adversely affected
performance due to the strength of yen.

The currency levels, Upper House elections on July 23 and the special Diet
session thereafter will likely have the most impact on the equity market during
the 3rd quarter. As for the currency, we believe we will see continued
confirmation that a secular peak may have been reached for the yen. In fact, the
25 basis point Fed funds rate cut by the Fed on July 7, and the subsequent
intervention by the Bank of Japan and Fed seem to already confirm our
assumptions. As Japan continues to address domestic structural reforms (as
evidenced by the outcome of the bi-lateral auto talks) the yen should continue
its decline and the economy should show signs of improvement.

For the above mentioned reasons, international blue chips and high tech Japanese
equities should continue to outperform the indices. It is very apparent that,
both in absolute terms and relative to international standards, these issues
offer compelling value. As the economy begins to show signs of improvement the
Portfolio's holdings representing these sectors will benefit. It should be noted
that structural selling of equities will also likely continue, while some
improvement from additional economic stimulus packages may modestly impact most
of the equity markets. However, it is also true that Japan holds several
promising technologies such as PHS, multimedia and PC's, all entering a period
of "blossom", in our opinion. In conclusion we expect a two-tier market where
quality and value will be rewarded and less promising and overvalued issues will
suffer.

PLEASE SEE THE PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL INVESTING.

The investment objective of the Latin American Portfolio is long-term capital
appreciation through investment, primarily in equity securities of Latin
American issuers. The Portfolio may also invest in debt securities issued or
guaranteed by a Latin American government or governmental entity.

For the period from inception on January 18, 1995 through June 30, 1995 the
total return of the Portfolio was -12.00% compared with -8.00% for the Morgan
Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Latin America Global Index for the same
period.

Latin American markets rallied strongly off their lows of the first quarter of
calendar 1995 as the Mexican currency and economy stabilized in response to
international support efforts and domestic austerity measures. As economic
uncertainty was reduced, investors began to focus on low valuations that had
taken many stocks in the region back to pre-1993 levels.

Although the Portfolio was market-weighted in Mexico during the period, it
underperformed due to its underweight position in Chile, which rallied more
strongly than the MSCI Index, and its overweighting of Brazil, which also rose,
but less than the MSCI Index.

Over the second quarter, the MSCI Index for Brazil increased 16.5% bringing its
performance for the first half of 1995 to a net decrease of -21.0%. In addition
to the reversal of negative sentiment toward Latin America, the Brazilian market
was bolstered by investors' positive response to continuing economic reform
including the announcement of the intention to privatize Eletrobras, the state
electric utility.

Progress was made on various economic reforms sent to congress by the Cardoso
administration. Five "economic order" constitutional reform measures --
centering on liberalizing the telecommunications, petroleum, mining, electric
utility, and shipping sectors -- were approved in the lower body of congress and
are presently being debated in the upper house of congress.

An area of concern for the market remains the trade balance and the exchange
rate. Since implementation of the reforms, Brazil has experienced significant
appreciation of the real and deterioration of the trade accounts; in the
aftermath of the Mexican crisis, this is seen by both the government and market
participants as creating a significant risk to the economic program. Despite a
nominal devaluation of approximately 8% since the beginning of the year, the
real remains overvalued; consequently, there is pressure on the government to
allow further devaluation.

OVERVIEW

THE LATIN AMERICAN PORTFOLIO (CONT.)

However, the risk in devaluing the currency is that it may lead to upward
pressure on inflation. As inflation control forms the foundation of economic
reform, a shock devaluation could hamper the administration's capacity to
implement additional fiscal reforms necessary for long-term growth.

While inflation has remained in check throughout the recent quarter, averaging
roughly 2.5% per month, the government is currently managing a balancing act
between containing inflation and improving its trade accounts. Monetary policy
has been the primary instrument through which this balance has been achieved
and, to a secondary extent, trade policy through the imposition of temporary
import tariffs on selected products. As a result, domestic real interest rates
have averaged over 20% annually thus far for 1995, and we began to see this
finally dampen domestic consumption in May, especially in the consumer durables
sector.

While this slowdown from the unsustainably brisk pace is a positive, the playing
out of this balancing act -- between the trade account, the foreign exchange
rate, domestic interest rates, and inflation -- will determine both the success
of the economic program and the performance of the market for the rest of this
calendar year.

We expect to see positive news coming out on selected privatizations (e.g. two
state electricity distribution companies and various government-held
petrochemical companies), as well as on de-indexation efforts by the government
as a means to eradicate the vestiges of "structural inflation" from the economy.
In view of the above outlook, we are positioned with large weightings in the
electric utility, banking, and beverage sectors.

We remain very upbeat about the potential for the market over the rest of the
calendar year, and feel that the sectors we are heavily weighted in represent
extraordinary value relative to their growth potential.

As usual with Brazil, however, the timetable for said privatization and
regulatory framework remains the primary risk in the market.

The Mexican stock market rebounded strongly in the second quarter of calendar
1995 with an increase of 28.5% bringing the net decline for the first six months
of calendar 1995 to -24.6%, as measured by the MSCI Index. The Bolsa's rally was
driven by a reversal of investor sentiment as the economy stabilized and the
peso strengthened in response to the U.S. support package and the Mexican
government's economic austerity program. The market was further helped by first
quarter earnings reports that showed stronger than expected operating results
for most companies.

The Zedillo administration's orthodox program of tight fiscal and monetary
policy proved effective at reversing the trade accounts from deficit to surplus
and at keeping the inflationary bubble, sparked by the devaluation, from
spiraling out of control. Mexico's first quarter turnaround in the trade balance
accelerated as the trade surplus reached US$866 million in May, bringing the
cumulative five-month surplus for 1995 to US$2.2 billion versus a deficit of
US$7.2 billion over the same period in 1994. The monthly rate of inflation
peaked at 8% for April and declined to 3% in June and is expected to decrease
gradually to 2% by December.

The peso rose 8% from its first quarter level as foreign capital inflows
resumed; however, the peso is down 31% on a year-to-date basis. The peso
stabilized as the U.S. funding allowed it to manage through the potential
liquidity crisis from maturing short-term dollar denominated debt. Through the
end of June, due to the success of the stabilization effort, Mexico had drawn
down substantially less funding than originally committed from the U.S. Treasury
Emergency Stabilization Fund (approximately $12.5 billion out of $20 billion)
and had rebuilt international reserves to $10.8 billion. While measures by
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Alfonse D'Amato to suspend further
disbursements to Mexico are likely to receive publicity over the near term, we
expect such efforts are unlikely to succeed and could lead to sentiment-driven
selling.

On the political front, President Zedillo enhanced his ability to govern by
replacing an idealistic minister of the interior with an experienced trouble
shooter. This new minister's responsibilities include negotiating with the
Chiapas rebels with whom his predecessor made little progress. The risk of
social unrest in response to economic austerity remains high; however, recent
cooperation between President Zedillo and his political adversaries limit the
potential for wide-scale escalation of political shocks.

Over the first half of calendar 1995, the Portfolio increased its weighting in
Mexico given valuations in light of our positive outlook on the prospects for a
quick recovery of the economy. We overweighted the early cyclical sectors --
banks, cements and construction -- on the basis of extremely depressed asset
valuations for selected stocks. While GDP growth has not yet hit bottom, we
expect that as inflation remains

under control, interest rates continue their downward path, and foreign capital
inflows gradually resume, the economy will recover.

At current levels the Mexican market has retraced much of the oversold
condition, but remains undervalued relative to the prospective growth rate of
earnings over the next five years. We expect sentiment-driven volatility to
present opportunities for the Portfolio to selectively increase its Mexican
holdings over the next six months in anticipation of renewed GDP growth by the
fourth quarter of calendar 1995 or the first quarter of calendar 1996.

Argentina lagged the region in the second quarter, as the MSCI Index for
Argentina gained 4.2%. President Menem was re-elected by a wide margin in May,
setting the stage for four additional years of a stable political arena and
economic reform. The province of Cordoba was temporarily unable to pay its
government employees due to fiscal imbalances, placing additional pressure on
the federal government's finances. We expect the economy to slow down in the
second and third quarters of calendar 1995, particularly the consumer durables
and even semi-durables sector. As a result, although we maintain our positive
medium and long-term outlook on the country's economic prospects, we have a
defensive posture in the market.

Chile posted a strong second quarter, advancing 23.2% according to the MSCI
Index for Chile and 14.6% for the six months ended June 30. The economy
continues to enjoy a boom in global demand for its three principal exports --
copper, wood pulp and fishmeal -- as well as from a decline in inflation and
domestic interest rates. We expect continued strong economic growth for the rest
of the year. However, we continue to view the market's lofty valuation as a
measure that these positives are fully discounted and, thus, remain highly
selective with our stock positions in the market.

Colombia rose 3.0% for the quarter ended June 30, and -7.4% for the six months
then ended. In spite of Colombia's solid fundamentals, the market is fully
valued; thus, the Portfolio is unlikely to increase exposure.

Peru paced the region for the second quarter, as the MSCI Index for Peru posted
a 42.1% increase. The market was buoyed by an overwhelming re-election victory
by President Fujimori in April, as well as by continued strong economic growth
which is bolstering corporate earnings. We have a favorable view on the market
but, owing to a relative lack of liquidity, are selectively positioned in core
blue-chip companies which possess superior earnings growth prospects.

Venezuela continued to scrape bottom with a decline of -1.5% in the second
quarter leaving it at a -13.0% for the six month period. While valuations based
on stated financial information appear low, our negative outlook for political
and macroeconomics fundamentals will keep us out of Venezuela.

Although Latin America has had a strong rebound from its first quarter of 1995
sell-off, given Brazil's and Mexico's compelling valuations together with the
expected resolution of political and economic uncertainties, we believe the
Portfolio is well-positioned for good performance in the next six months.

The Aggressive Equity Portfolio commenced operations on March 8, 1995. The
Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation through a concentrated, non-
diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks. Short sales and options can be used to
enhance performance. It is anticipated that the Portfolio will hold thirty names
or less, although it may hold more from time to time.

From inception on March 8, 1995 through June 30, 1995, the total return for the
Portfolio was 18.33%, as compared to 12.57% for the Lipper Capital Appreciation
Index and 13.75% for the S&P 500 Index for the same period.

Although the Portfolio will generally hold 30 securities or less, at June 30
there were 35 stock positions. Still, concentration was quite high, with 20
positions representing 82% of the invested Portfolio and one position (Philip
Morris) representing 21%. At June 30, there were no shorts and three option
positions -- covered calls sold against a portion of our Coca Cola and McDonnell
Douglas holdings, and puts bought on approximately half of our Philip Morris
position.

The Portfolio is constructed using a bottom-up, growth-oriented investment
approach. We seek stocks that fall into one of three categories: high quality,
sustainable growth; higher beta growth where the potential exists for positive
surprise vis-a-vis consensus expectations; and stocks of companies showing solid
earnings growth fundamentals but where investor concerns are currently high.

Philip Morris is one of seven consumer staple stocks held at June 30, with the
other major holdings including Coca Cola, Kellogg and American Home Products.
Consumer staples as a group represented 33% of the net assets. Other important
sector weightings include financials (24%), defense and defense-based
conglomerates (14%), technology (9%) and retail growth (5%).

The strong relative performance of the Portfolio was achieved despite an
underweighting in technology, by far the strongest market segment this year. At
March 31, the Portfolio's technology exposure was only 11%. We tend to approach
technology stocks cautiously due to the much higher than average event risk.
However, there are obviously very powerful secular trends driving growth of the
better positioned technology companies. And this comes at a time when some
traditional high-growth sectors -- including retailing and health care services
- - -- are experiencing downward pressure on margins and growth rates. With this in
mind, we increased our technology weighting

OVERVIEW
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE AGGRESSIVE EQUITY PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
during the past few months, although the Portfolio is still modestly underweight
the S&P 500 at 9% versus 11% for the Index.

Despite the fact that Philip Morris stock is up this year, we believe the stock
is significantly undervalued. Growth fundamentals are very strong and consensus
estimates have been rising for six quarters. At the same time, new management is
returning more cash to the shareholder than ever before. In the 1980s, Philip
Morris stock rose six-fold despite the fact that the company spent $19 billion
on food companies at very dilutive prices. This diversification strategy failed
- - -- it diluted earnings while failing to raise either the growth rate or the P/E
multiple. New management has increased the dividend payout, initiated an
aggressive share repurchase program, and is divesting low-return food assets.

Yet our sense is that institutional investors have been slow to recognize the
comeback this global consumer packaged goods powerhouse has made. Many have
sworn off tobacco investing due to the "Marlboro Friday" pricing problem of 1993
and the continued negative media attention. But the combination of growth and
value will eventually win them back, in our view. Looking at 1995 projections,
Philip Morris' P/E is 11.5, compared to 27 at Coca Cola. The projected 5-year
growth rates are 15%+ and 18-20%, respectively. Philip Morris' dividend is
currently $3.30, implying a yield of 4.4%. We expect the dividend to rise to
$4.00 this August, $4.60 in August 1996 and $5.30 in August 1997. Even at a 5%
yield, the stock would be $106 in just over two years, for a return of 43%, plus
dividends. But if the stock trades to yield 4% (or roughly a 15 P/E), it would
rise to $133 over the same period.

Exel and Ace Ltd. are excess liability insurers that together represented 6.9%
of the Portfolio net assets at June 30. Both stocks trade below 10 times
earnings yet are showing very significant EPS growth. Investor concerns include
large liability claims and poor pricing. Exel is massively overcapitalized and
new management is buying back stock aggressively. Ace is also repurchasing
shares, though not as aggressively, and is seeing solid business growth.
American Express, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ahmanson and Citicorp are the other
important financial holdings in the Portfolio. All five have low P/Es and are
seeing double-digit EPS growth. Three are buying back stock and one (Ahmanson)
is likely to announce a 10% buyback within a few months.

McDonnell Douglas, Lockheed Martin and United Technologies together represent
approximately 13% of the Portfolio. Although it has an aerospace segment (Pratt
engines), United Technologies is really a multinational growth cyclical, with a
handful of strong franchises. EPS should grow over 20% this year, about 18% next
year and 15%+ in 1997, yet the stock trades at only about 14x this year's
earnings. McDonnell and Lockheed Martin are both major beneficiaries of the
consolidation of the U.S. defense industry. Margin improvement, surplus cash
flow generation and restructuring are driving double-digit EPS growth and
generating positive surprise.

IBM is the Portfolio's largest technology holding and is the fifth largest
holding overall. While the stock has more than doubled from its 1993 low, it
remains very inexpensive and we see multiple triggers for further stock price
appreciation. EPS estimates have moved up for 4-5 quarters in a row, and are now
about $11 and $12.75 for 1995 and 1996. At $103, it obviously reflects little
enthusiasm on the part of investors. Worries persist over top-line growth, yet
profit margins are soaring, surplus cash flow generation is huge and the balance
sheet is massively underleveraged. IBM is still buying back stock aggressively
at current prices. When the stock peaked at $175 in 1987, the
P/E was over 16 times. The recent acquisition of Lotus will work to strengthen
IBM's strategic position, and if investors ever start to believe in the
company's ability to grow its top line, the P/E will rise. In the meantime,
estimates could still rise.

We are agnostic on the market at this juncture. Valuations in general are no
longer as compelling but midway through the second quarter reporting cycle
earnings look pretty good, and low inflation, moderate growth and low rates
provide a favorable backdrop for the market.

The Emerging Growth Portfolio invests primarily in growth-oriented common stocks
of small-to-medium sized domestic corporations and, to a limited extent, foreign
corporations. Such companies generally have gross revenues ranging from $10
million to $750 million.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 13.15%, as compared to 24.14% for the NASDAQ Composite Index for the same
period. Total returns for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and the average
annual total return for the five-year period ended June 30, 1995 and for the
period from inception in November 1989 through June 30, 1995 were 28.18%, 9.24%
and 11.36%, respectively, compared to 32.22%, 15.26% and 13.50% for the NASDAQ
Composite Index for the same periods.

The 13.15% gain in the Emerging Growth Portfolio in the first half of 1995
extended the uptrend that began a year earlier. For the twelve months ended June
30, 1995 the Portfolio's total return was 28.18%. For the same one year period,
the S&P 500 increased 26.0%, the NASDAQ Composite gained 32.2%, and the Russell
2000 Small Capitalization Index rose 18.0%.

All U.S. market indexes have increased sharply so far in 1995, but the NASDAQ
Composite has led the pack with a +24.1% gain in the first half of this year.
The NASDAQ market has been quite successful in retaining companies that have
grown large, such as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, Cisco Systems and Apple Computer.
These successful multi-billion dollar companies have not migrated to the New
York Stock Exchange and their huge stock price gains this year have helped
propel the gains in the capitalization - weighted NASDAQ Index. At the end of
1994, there were 4,902 companies traded in the NASDAQ system with a market value
of $786 billion. However, Microsoft and Intel together accounted for 8% of the
NASDAQ market value at the end of 1994 and 10% by June 30, 1995. The ten biggest
companies on NASDAQ were 17% of the Index at the end of 1994 and 21% by June 30,
1995. With a heavy concentration of large technology companies, the NASDAQ has
been the best performing major stock market in the world in the first half of
1995.

In the Emerging Growth Portfolio, typically 80% - 90% of the stocks held are
traded in the NASDAQ market. However, the focus of the Emerging Growth Portfolio
is on small-to-medium-size companies so none of the 30 largest companies in
NASDAQ are held by the Portfolio. While the Portfolio did not benefit from the
appreciation of the large NASDAQ

OVERVIEW
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE EMERGING GROWTH PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
technology stocks, technology was nonetheless the heaviest weighted industry
sector in the Portfolio at 32% of net assets on June 30, 1995. The technology
stocks in the Portfolio gained 34% in the first half of 1995 and fully
participated in this high performing area. The best performing technology stocks
in the Portfolio in the first six months of the year were Electroglas +70.8%,
Xilinx +59.5%, and Informix +58.0%.

The leadership groups in any stock market cycle usually have strong support from
the underlying business fundamentals and the current technology leadership is no
exception. Capital spending on technology is increasing rapidly because
productivity gains are finally being realized from the investments. Personal
computers are invading homes in record numbers and electronic functions are
penetrating numerous areas of consumer goods and telecommunications, as well as
industrial applications. Demand trends remain very strong with record orders
flowing into the leading companies in the semiconductor, semiconductor capital
equipment, networking/communications, client/server computing and software
industries. With economies worldwide on a moderate expansion course, demand
patterns are expected to stay favorable well into 1996.

The technology sector, however, has been so strong that some stock market
excesses are beginning to appear. Initial public offerings of embryonic
technology companies are wildly oversubscribed and jumping sharply in price on
the first day of trading. Some speculative small technology companies such as
Cascade Communications, Premisys and UUNET are trading at 30 times reported
revenues -- not earnings. Specialized technology mutual funds are seeing
enormous net inflows of money. As a long-term strategy, we believe a 30%
weighting in technology is appropriate for the Emerging Growth Portfolio. The
enormous growth opportunities in technology warrant a meaningful exposure, but
the developing short-term excesses also argue for increased stock selectivity
and the avoidance of any higher technology weighting in the Portfolio at the
present time.

The market's focus on technology in the first half of the year was so intense
that other sectors got left behind on a relative basis, particularly in the June
quarter. The specialty retailing and health care sectors showed disappointing
single digit returns in the first half of 1995. These two sectors were
particularly weak in the month of April but have since been recovering. The
business and financial services area recorded double digit returns approximately
keeping up with the small cap market averages.

While the story of the first half of the year was how much exposure to
technology did an investor have, we believe the second half of the year will be
somewhat different. First, we continue to believe that the overall environment
for emerging growth stocks is favorable and that 1995/1996 will be a period of
strong absolute gains and relative outperformance. The relative earning gains of
small growth companies are very positive and valuations are still a long way
from the peak levels reached at market tops in the past. For example, the
relative P/E of the Portfolio is only 1.35 times that of the S&P 500, still
below the 2.0X level that has usually signaled a major top. We also believe
small capitalization stocks will do better relative to large capitalization
issues during the next 18 months. Second, the technology sector should continue
to offer some opportunities, but we anticipate a broadening of performance to
other sectors that have been lagging such as consumer stocks, health care, and
service based companies. We expect the two-thirds of the Portfolio that is not
in technology to make more of a contribution to overall performance in the
second half of the year than it did in the first six months of 1995.

At the end of June, the Portfolio was diversified in 65 stocks with a cash
reserve of 7.3% of net assets. The market value of the net assets of the
Portfolio was $143.6 million. The ten largest holdings in the Portfolio
comprised 25.5% of the net assets.

The Equity Growth Portfolio employs a growth-oriented investment strategy
seeking long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio seeks to accomplish its
objective by investing primarily in equities of medium and large capitalization
companies exhibiting sustainable earnings growth.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 23.05% compared to 20.19% for the S&P 500 Index, 18.70% for the Lipper
Growth Fund Index and 20.06% for the Russell Growth Index for the same period.
The total return of the Portfolio for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and
the average annual total return for the period since inception in April 1991
through June 30, 1995 were 30.74% and 11.76%, respectively, compared to 26.03%
and 12.39% for the S&P 500 Index for the same period.

The market rally this year has been one of the strongest in recent memory, led
to a great extent by growth stocks. The catalyst for this powerful move was, in
our view, a confluence of several factors. First, valuation support had improved
throughout 1994 as stocks moved sideways and earnings grew strongly. Second, and
most importantly, interest rates fell very significantly. And third, earnings
fundamentals for companies across many economic sectors were favorable. Although
the investment themes running through the Portfolio were unchanged during the
first half of 1995, we did shift our emphasis within industry sectors. The
Portfolio reflects five major themes:

        1.  Consumer Staples: Selected consumer
    nondurable companies are showing renewed, strong, growth momentum, after
    several years of decelerating trends. Restructuring, cost-cutting,
    impressive international growth and better pricing are combining to put
    upward pressure on growth rates. At June 30, the Portfolio had 21% of net
    assets in consumer staples. The largest holding in this sector (and in the
    Portfolio, by a wide margin), is Philip Morris, representing 7.8% of net
    assets. Although the stock is up about 50% from where we first bought it in
    late 1993, it still looks compelling to us. At $75, it trades at less than
    10 times projected 1996 earnings and free cash flow (defined as net income
    plus non-cash charges less capital spending and working capital uses but
    before dividends). With earnings and cash flow expected to grow 15% annually
    over the next five years, we believe this valuation is very attractive.
    Obviously, negative publicity continues to exert pressure on the stock, but
    it is our view that earnings fundamentals will remain strong. And even
    though many of Philip Morris'

OVERVIEW

THE EQUITY GROWTH PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
    peers (e.g. Coca Cola, Pfizer, Gillette) are trading toward the very high
    end of historical P/E ranges, Philip Morris trades at 11.5 times current
    year's earnings, versus a peak within the last 5 years of 16 times. In fact,
    Philip Morris is still 10 points below its high of three years ago. If the
    stock were to trade at 15 times 1997 estimated earnings, it would rise to
    over $130 in two years. But we think the stock should do well over the near
    term too, as the dividend should rise to about $4 in August, providing a
    yield of 5.3% if the stock remained flat. Other important holdings in the
    Consumer Staples sector are American Home Products, Coca Cola, Pepsico,
    Pfizer, Schering Plough and Merck.

        2.  High Beta/High Growth: We began to
    increase our exposure to high beta/high growth names earlier in the year in
    the expectation that the strong performance of large capitalization, stable
    growth names might be followed by the improved performance of higher growth
    names. Consequently, we increased technology from 9% at year-end to 12% at
    June 30, 1995 versus 11% for the S&P 500. Our biggest mistake in the last
    six months was that we were not overweight this group for the entire period
    as the technology sector exploded in the first half of the year, returning
    38%. Our stock selection redeemed us somewhat, however, with names such as
    Applied Materials returning 85% year-to-date and Intel, up 96%. We remain
    positive on technology, even after its powerful move, in the belief that the
    secular trends driving the group, in particular, the efforts across
    corporate America to enhance productivity through technology, are powerful.
    We also had an opportunity in the first half to purchase or add to stocks
    whose popularity had waned, usually due to temporarily decelerating trends.
    In this category were restaurant chain Boston Chicken (up 44% year-to-date),
    specialty retailer General Nutrition (up 47%) as well as Autozone and Home
    Depot, which continue to tread water.

        3.  Financials: After paring back on
financial exposure in late 1994 and early 1995, we have slightly increased our
    position to 19% at June 30 versus 11% for the market. The companies we own
    in this sector are strategically well positioned, exhibit good earnings
    growth and boast moderate P/Es. Within the group we have shifted our
    emphasis somewhat from banks to insurance companies. We have positions in
    two excess liability insurers, Ace Ltd. and Exel. Both stocks trade below
    ten times earnings yet are showing significant EPS growth. Investor concerns
    include large liability claims and poor pricing. Exel is massively
    overcapitalized and new management is buying back stock aggressively. Ace is
    repurchasing shares, though not as aggressively, and is seeing solid
    business growth. American Express, Citicorp, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, JP
    Morgan and Ahmanson are other significant financial holdings.

        4.  Defense and Defense Conglomerates:
    We continue to find this sector compelling as we believe the downsizing of
    the defense industry will provide restructuring opportunities and rapid EPS
    growth for the better positioned companies. Important positions include
    McDonnell Douglas (up 39% year-to-date), Allied Signal (up 30%) and Loral
    (up 36%).

        5.  Cyclical Growth: Our emphasis is on
    high quality growth cyclicals which have restructured their businesses and
    are experiencing improved earnings growth. These issues also provide a hedge
    in the Portfolio should the economy pick up dramatically. Our growth
    cyclicals include Caterpillar, Champion, Goodyear, Hercules, Gannett and
    United Technologies. Looking ahead, we are neutral to positive on the equity
    market and growth stocks, in particular. Mitigating our enthusiasm is the
    fact that valuations in general are not as compelling as they were six to
    twelve months ago. An economic acceleration in the second half, driving
    rates back up, would also be negative, should it occur. On the positive
    side, however, low inflation, moderate growth and low rates create a
    favorable environment for growth stocks. At June 30, 1995 the Portfolio held
    88 securities with 8% in cash.

THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS PROVIDED ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD
NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A GUARANTEE OF THE PORTFOLIO'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE. PAST
PERFORMANCE SHOWN IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. 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 Small Cap Value Equity Portfolio invests in small companies that our
research indicates are undervalued, of high quality, and will reward the
shareholder through high current dividend income. The Portfolio's disciplined
value approach seeks to outperform the Russell 2500 Small Company Index in the
longer term. We believe our emphasis on high quality companies will help the
Portfolio perform particularly well in difficult markets.
The Small Cap Value Equity Portfolio selects companies that can be purchased at
bargain prices. Bargains mostly arise as a result of public overreactions to
temporary problems associated with an otherwise healthy company, or because a
company is neglected and currently out-of-the limelight of investors' interest.
Often, these companies operate as major players in very focused markets and are
not widely followed by the investment community.
The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 11.44% as compared to 16.96% and 20.19% for the Russell 2500 Index and the
S&P 500 Index, respectively, for the same period. Total returns for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1995 and the average annual total return of the Portfolio
for the period from inception in December 1992 through June 30, 1995 were 15.59%
and 10.56%, respectively, compared to 22.73% and 13.91% for the Russell 2500
Index, respectively, and 26.03% and 12.37% for the S&P 500 Index, respectively,
for the same periods.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Two investment themes dominated U.S. equity market returns during the first six
months of 1995. The first was the decline of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese
yen and most European currencies. The weakening U.S. dollar is credited for the
strong performance of large companies versus small companies at the beginning of
the period, as large companies are thought to be more 'global' players earning
more appreciating foreign currencies. As a result of an increasingly global
economy as well as our strategy to select strong players in niche markets the
Portfolio's industrial companies derive some 24% of sales from outside the
United States. So far however, currency effects on earnings for these companies
have been minor relative to the impact of positive sales growth and productivity
gains as seen in first quarter earnings reports. The second dominant investment
theme was the transition from strong economic growth to the anticipation of an
economic 'soft landing' and subsequently the realization of faster than expected
weakening of the U.S. economy. All this led to a sharp drop in long term
interest rates. Equity markets responded with enthusiasm -- bidding up most
sharply interest rate sensitive "growth" companies. Most pronounced was the
rally

OVERVIEW

THE SMALL CAP VALUE EQUITY PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
in technology stocks as reflected in the 24.1% return of these companies in our
small company universe during the second quarter of '95. We expect periods of
such market ebullience to produce high absolute portfolio returns, however they
form the most difficult for Portfolio's out-of-the limelight companies to better
the small cap market.

Our outlook on the fundamental strength of the Portfolio's companies remains
very positive as reflected by recent earnings reports. In addition, during 1994,
the Portfolio's industrial companies saw productivity increases twice as high as
the average domestic small company. This should bode particularly well for the
anticipated scenario of slower economic growth.

During the first six months of 1995, the Portfolio witnessed a wide dispersion
of performance by industry. The Portfolio's most successful industry was
aerospace (+30.0%) which followed the rebound of the domestic commercial airline
industry and its spill-over effect for smaller airline service companies. The
weakest industry constituted consumer retail (-3.5%) as sales growth for men and
women's apparel companies remains anemic. The Portfolio's banking stocks
averaged a 29% price increase during the first half of the year. We attribute
this good performance to the strong demand for loans prompted by a growing U.S.
economy, falling interest rates helping to maintain a beneficial difference for
banks' lending and borrowing rates, as well as a continuing increase in the
quality of assets held. Union Bank of San Francisco increased 57.8% in price
following an earnings rebound as a result of a substantial improvement in the
quality of the loan portfolio. The Portfolio's technology companies (10.2% of
net assets) averaged a respectable 21.7% price increase during the past six
months. However, the industry's total portfolio return contribution was limited
by the availability of a larger number of good quality technology stocks that
fit our main investment criteria of being a "bargain." (As of June 30, 1995 the
average small cap technology company was trading at a price-to-earnings multiple
of 30.2 times, more than twice as expensive as the average stock in the
Portfolio.)

Additions to the Portfolio during the first quarter included Jackpot
Enterprises, Inc. (gaming route operator; 4% dividend yield, 1.4x
price-to-book), Gerber Scientific, Inc. (maker of computer-aided design systems
for the garment industry; 1.3x book value, 2.5% yield), Augat, Inc. (leading
manufacturer of connector products; 1.3x book value, 2% yield), Core Industries,
Inc. (specialized products for electronics, fluid control and farm equipment
industries; 1.4x book value, 2.2% yield), Manufactured Home Communities, Inc.
(owner of manufactured housing communities, 7% yield), and SkyWest, Inc.
(regional commuter airline, 1.3x book value).

Portfolio transactions during the second quarter of 1995 included the sale of
Southern National Corp., Mercantile Bancorp, Deposit Guaranty Corp. (Banking),
and Yellow Corp. Exceptionally strong performance of banking stocks led us to
turnover the Portfolio at a higher rate in this area. We purchased Greenpoint
Financial Corp. (0.7x book value, 3.5% dividend yield), the dominant savings
institution in the New York metropolitan area specializing in low documentation
mortgage loans. We also added Union Planters Corp. (1.4x book value, 4% yield),
a bank holding company in Tennessee, to the Portfolio. The company shows strong
profitable growth in assets and maintains a highly conservative balance sheet.
Washington Mutual Inc. (1.2x book value, 3.5% yield) -- another new purchase --
is the largest independently owned bank headquartered in Washington State. We
expect its expansion into neighboring states to provide for solid loan growth.
The most recent purchase, Peoples Heritage Financial Group Inc. (1.0x book
value, 3.6% yield), is one of the least expensive banking companies east of the
Mississippi. It is located in attractive banking states of Maine and New
Hampshire, shows a diversified loan portfolio and has high loan demand.

We also took advantage of the currently weak investment climate for retail
companies. We purchased Ross Stores Inc. (1.0x book value, 2.5% yield). It
operates as a discount retail store mostly in California where the company shows
a dominant market presence. We also added to the Portfolio Scitex Corp. -- the
world leading company in electronic prepress systems -- at 1.2x book value and a
3% dividend yield. The company operates as leader in the mature electronic
prepress systems markets that provides ample cash flow to develop new products
such as digital video editing systems.

The Small Cap Value Equity Portfolio offers the consistent application of a
disciplined value driven investment process to its shareholders. As such, we
will pursue our search for smaller companies that our research shows are
undervalued, are of high quality and pay above average dividend yield. We
believe these companies will be well positioned to achieve superior total return
for the longer term.

U.S. real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts.

The total return of the Portfolio for the period from inception on February 24,
1995 through June 30, 1995 was 8.30% compared to 5.34% for the NAREIT Index.

The overall U.S. real estate environment demonstrated modest improvement during
the second quarter. The office and industrial sectors registered increases in
occupancy rates in most cities and some sub-markets witnessed a re-emergence of
selected build to suit development. The apartment sector markets showed strength
in most cities after two years of substantial recovery despite renewed fears of
over-development. In addition, the recovery of the hotel sector continues,
particularly in the full-service segment, which is exhibiting strong growth in
both room revenues and occupancies. By contrast, the retail sector represented a
source of relative weakness, as continued slow tenant sales combined with steady
new development to limit rental growth nationwide. While most observers
anticipate further improvements in occupancy levels and rental rates for most
property types, concerns have begun to arise about the durability of the recent
resurgence in tenant demand should the overall economy weaken significantly.

In the second quarter, the real estate market continued its slow wave of
consolidation. This was evidenced by the sale of large portfolios of properties
as well as the merger of REITs with private companies. The retail sector was the
most active arena for these activities. Sears announced its intention to sell
Homart, an owner of regional malls and power centers, to a REIT, General Growth,
for an estimated total price of $1.8 billion. Factory Stores of America, an
outlet center REIT, merged with a private company, Charter Oak, on the heels of
the completion of the merger of two public factory outlet center REITs, Horizon
Group and McArthur Glen.

In the real estate capital markets, attention was focused on the tentative
re-emergence of pension fund interest in real estate (including REITs) and the
selected interest of life companies and banks in new real estate loans. In the
second quarter, the REIT market witnessed approximately $2.1 billion in new
equity issuance by 27 companies. In contrast to 1994 where twenty IPOs had been
completed by mid-year

OVERVIEW

THE U.S. REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
(raising approximately $3.6 billion), only three companies have completed
initial public offerings (we include Starwood Lodging as an IPO although
technically it was a follow-on offering of primary shares); all three were
completed in the second quarter accounting for 24% of the equity capital raised.

The IPOs were completed in the office, hotel and self-storage sectors. We
anticipate the IPO supply to remain limited and focused on the hotel and office
sectors. The tone of the current REIT IPO market is also quite different from
last year as issuers have priced the offerings at discounts to their respective
peer groups. We participated in two of the IPO offerings, Starwood, the hotel
offering and Reckson Associates, the office offering.

The second quarter returns for the REIT market were buoyed by May, which was the
best month of the year to date providing a return of 4.23% according to NAREIT.
June also demonstrated positive performance, helping the NAREIT total return for
the first half of the year to reach 5.11%. Clearly, the REIT market returns
trail the broad equity and bond markets on a year-to-date basis.

At June 30, the Portfolio maintained the same general weighting as it exhibited
at the end of the last quarter. Specifically, the Portfolio continued to be
overweighted in the office and industrial sector and manufactured home
communities, was underweighted in retail and generally market-weighted in
multifamily. In addition, we increased our exposure to both the hotel and
self-storage sectors. The Portfolio contains approximately the same number of
investments as last quarter (35 versus 36 stocks) with some additions and
deletions. A new theme was the introduction, on a moderate scale, of a select
few speculative out-of-favor companies as well as lesser known names.

In the office and industrial sector, we increased our overweighting and added
several names in order to continue to provide a broader exposure to the stronger
property markets. We have previously discussed the favorable demand and supply
characteristics of this sector which has fueled improvements in net effective
rents and occupancies. In the majority of markets, rents have not achieved
levels which justify new construction, which provides opportunities for
acquisitions at discounts to replacement cost for well capitalized REITs.
However, in several stronger sub-markets, rent levels and a lack of quality
space has created the opportunity for build to suit construction at attractive
returns.

We remain approximately market-weighted in the multifamily sector. One
investment theme in this sector was adding to our position in companies that are
focused in the middle tier of the multifamily market. These properties do not
face competition from new construction and have continued to demonstrate the
strongest ability to raise rental rates. Examples of companies whose assets can
be characterized in this tier include Equity Residential Properties and a new
position for the Portfolio, Walden Residential, a multifamily company focused in
the southwestern part of the country. We have discussed a somewhat defensive
posture for this market due to the potential for oversupply, particularly at the
upper end of the sector, but have been encouraged at the current constraints on
new supply, particularly in our target markets.

Overall, the Portfolio continues to be underweighted in the retail sector as a
result of continued difficulties from an oversupply of retail square footage per
capita as well as continued weakness in retail sales. We continue to watch for
improvements in retail sales trends, particularly from the retailers focused on
the apparel market. The sub-sectors that would benefit the most from these
improvements would be the regional malls and factory outlet centers.

The hotel sector provides an attractive market which is continuing its recovery.
The Portfolio focus is on the full service segment of this market. We increased
our exposure to this segment with our investment in Starwood Lodging. Although
the recovery in the hotel sector has been widespread from the limited-service to
full-service hotels, the barriers to new construction are greatest for the
full-service segment due to high construction cost levels as well as the
difficulty in accessing capital for new development. The combination of an
increase in demand with a lack of new supply has resulted in favorable increases
in room rates as well as occupancies. In addition, acquisitions are generally
achievable at 65% to 70% of replacement cost and there are limited investors
with access to capital.

The outlook for the REIT market remains generally favorable. Property markets
continue to show evidence of improvement in rents and occupancy levels. From a
technical perspective there continue to be new entrants investing in the sector.
In addition, the spread of REIT dividend yields to the yield of the 10-year U.S.
Treasury is at the historically high level of approximately 100 basis points,
which is a bullish signal, particularly for those investors that look at REITs
as substitutes for the fixed income markets.

OVERVIEW

THE U.S. REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
The potential caveats for our otherwise favorable scenario is that we continue
to measure growth against a possible economic slowdown and also against possible
competitive supply. Although the real estate market has historically been prone
to such periods of oversupply, the favorable news is that we appear to be in the
first half of this most current real estate cycle and the new supplier of
capital, the public capital markets, may prove to do a better job of allocating
capital to its highest and best use.

1. The Indata Equity-Median Index and the S&P 500 Stock Index are unmanaged
   indices of common stocks. The Indata Equity-Median Index includes an average
   asset allocation of 5% cash and 95% equity based on $3364.7 billion in assets
   among 1,163 portfolios for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

2. Total returns for the Portfolio reflect expenses waived and reimbursed, if
   applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waiver and reimbursement, total
   returns would be lower.

THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS PROVIDED ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD
NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A GUARANTEE OF THE PORTFOLIO'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE. PAST
PERFORMANCE SHOWN IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. 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.

Our value investment philosophy is based on the premise that a diversified
portfolio of undervalued securities will outperform the market over the long-
term, and can be expected to preserve principal in a difficult market
environment.

Key aspects of our philosophy are as follows:

    Reversion to mean valuation levels (return to the long term average) is the
    most consistent and powerful force in investing.

    We buy companies selling at less than our research measures to be their true
    worth.

    Our Portfolio is characterized by a distinctly below average
    price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and a high dividend yield.

    We limit our universe of investments to larger, liquid stocks. This is a
    list similar to the S&P 500.

    Investment decisions are based on research undertaken by the Morgan Stanley
    Asset Management/Chicago investment team.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 19.41% as compared to 20.19% for the S&P 500 Index and 17.90% for the Indata
Equity-Median Index for the same period. The total return of the Portfolio for
the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and the average annual total return for
the five years ended June 30, 1995 and for the period from inception in January
1990 through June 30, 1995 were 18.77%, 11.32% and 10.69%, respectively,
compared to 26.03%, 12.07% and 13.15% for the S&P 500 Index, and 22.70%, 11.62%
and 12.62% for the Indata Equity-Median Index for the same periods.

The Value Equity Portfolio outperformed the broad market index in April and May,
but underperformed during June. U.S. equity style was a factor with growth
outperforming value. Before fees and expenses, the S&P/Barra Growth Index
returned 21.2% for the six month period ended June 30, 1995, while the S&P/
Barra Value Index returned 19.2% for the same period.

The Value Equity Portfolio outperformed the Indata Equity-Median universe for
the six month period ended June 30, 1995. The Indata Equity-Median Index
returned 17.9% for the six month period ended June 30, 1995. The Portfolio
return of 19.4% places it near the top quartile of U.S. equity funds which
returned at least 19.6%.

OVERVIEW

THE VALUE EQUITY PORTFOLIO (CONT.)

The Portfolio holds undervalued companies with a wide valuation gap as compared
to the characteristics of the S&P 500:

S&P 500......................................      16.7x       3.3x
</TABLE>

The Value Equity Portfolio performance during the first half of 1995 was driven
by its value style of investing, by an average company capitalization that is
smaller than the S&P 500, and certain industry overweightings / underweightings
relative to the S&P 500. In terms of size, the large capitalization stocks have
substantially outperformed small stocks by 6%, with large stocks up 20% and
small stocks up 14%. Significant industry weightings that affected performance
included an overweighting in financial services, which positively affected
performance and an underweighting in technology, which hurt performance.

Year-to-date, the best performing sectors in the Portfolio were transportation,
capital goods, technology, financial services and health care. The sectors which
underperformed the most were retail and consumer durables.

During April, the Portfolio increased the weighting in the transportation sector
with the addition of Ryder Systems Inc. In May, the Portfolio decreased the
weighting in the health care sector by selling Becton Dickinson, while
increasing the weightings in technology and utilities by purchasing Apple
Computers Inc. and Pinnacle West Capital Corp. (utility holding company). In
addition, the weighting in financial services was reduced by selling JP Morgan
and Boatmen's Bancshares, and purchasing First of America. During June, the
Portfolio pared back on holdings of CPC International and Heinz, and sold its
position in Merck, while adding to the First of America and Phelps Dodge
positions.

Individual issues which exhibited positive excess total returns relative to the
S&P 500 in the first half of 1995 included Sallie Mae (Student Loan Marketing
Association) with a 44% return; Mellon with a 36% return; BankAmerica with a 33%
return; Chemical Banking Corp. with a 32% return; Burlington Northern with a 32%
return; Deere with a 29% return; and, Baxter with a 29% return. Holdings
exhibiting negative relative returns included Phelps Dodge, down 5% and Hanson
plc, down 3%.

We think the two dominant factors for the second half of 1995 will be (1) the
performance of small stocks versus large stocks and (2) the strength of
corporate earnings. We also think that Value-Growth will be a modest factor
(with a moderate bias toward value).

1. The Indata Balanced-Median Index is an unmanaged index and includes an asset
   allocation of 5% cash, 42% bonds and 53% equity based on $52.7 billion in
   assets among 547 Portfolios for the six months ended June 30, 1995 (assumes
   dividends reinvested). The index returns are gross of management fees; the
   Portfolio returns are net of management fees and expenses.

2. Total returns for the Portfolio reflect expenses waived and reimbursed, if
   applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waiver and reimbursement, total
   returns would be lower.

  PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
</TABLE>

THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS PROVIDED ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD
NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A GUARANTEE OF THE PORTFOLIO'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE. PAST
PERFORMANCE SHOWN IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. 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 Balanced Portfolio's value investment philosophy is based on the premise
that a diversified portfolio of undervalued stocks and bonds will outperform the
market over the long-term and can be expected to preserve principal in a
difficult market environment.

The Balanced Portfolio's asset allocation strategy between equities, fixed
income and cash is based upon our estimate of the portfolio's risk. Since
equities are the highest risk asset class, we have maintained a below average
equity exposure during past periods of high market valuation. Typically, our
equity exposure will range between 35% and 65% with an expected long term
average of 55%.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was
14.25% as compared to 14.40% for the Indata Balanced-Median Index for the same
period. The total return for the Portfolio for the twelve months ended June 30,
1995 and the average annual total return for the five years ended June 30, 1995
and for the period from inception in February 1990 through June 30, 1995 were
13.86%, 9.98% and 9.75% respectively, as compared to 17.70%, 10.24% and 10.39%
for the Index for the same periods.

Our asset allocation, based on market value at June 30, 1995 is as follows:

<TABLE>

                                              -----
</TABLE>

With the strong growth in corporate earnings, the market, as measured by the S&P
500 Stock Index (S&P 500), is within its historical range for fair valuation
(14-16x P/E). The current level of equity exposure is 48%, down slightly from
the December 31, 1994 level of 50%. The first half 1995 decrease in equity
exposure reflects the recent strong performance of the U.S. equity market and
our expectations that the equity exposure can be increased later in the year if
there is any weakness in the market. At current valuation levels, we expect to
be 50% to 55% in equities by year-end.

To put the current asset allocation in perspective, the equity exposure had been
increased in 1994 from 45% to 50%. The 1994 increase was based on increasing
earnings, and the price decline in the S&P 500. Since the 1994Q2 increase in
equity exposure, the market is up 25%.

THE BALANCED PORTFOLIO (CONT.)

EQUITIES

For the six month period ended June 30, 1995, the gross returns for the equity
component of the Balanced Portfolio returned 20.4% versus the S&P 500 return of
20.2%. U.S. equity style was a factor as the S&P/Barra Growth Index returned
21.2% while the S&P/Barra Value Index returned 19.2% for the six month period
ended June 30, 1995.

The median equity return in balanced portfolios for the six month period ended
June 30, 1995, as measured by Indata, was 19.0% and the top quartile was 20.4%,
placing the Balanced Portfolio's equity return in the top quartile.

The equity component of the Portfolio holds the same undervalued companies that
are held in the Value Equity Portfolio. The equity portion of the Portfolio has
a wide valuation gap as compared to the characteristics of the S&P 500:

S&P 500......................................      16.7x       3.3x
</TABLE>

Year-to-date, the best performing sectors in the portfolio were transportation,
capital goods, technology, financial services and health care. The sectors which
underperformed the most were retail and consumer durables.

During April, we increased the weighting in the transportation sector with the
addition of Ryder Systems Inc. In May, we decreased the weighting in the health
care sector by selling Becton Dickinson, while increasing the weightings in
technology and utilities by purchasing Apple Computers Inc. and Pinnacle West
Capital Corp.(utility holding company). In addition, the weighting in financial
services was reduced by selling JP Morgan and Boatmen's Banc-
shares, and purchasing First of America. During June, we pared back on holdings
of CPC International and Heinz, sold the position in Merck, while adding to the
First of America position.

Individual issues which exhibited positive excess total returns relative to the
S&P 500 in the first half of 1995 included Sallie Mae (Student Loan Marketing
Association) with a 44% return; Mellon with a 36% return; BankAmerica with a 33%
return; Chemical Banking Corp. with a 32% return; Burlington Northern with a 32%
return; Deere with a 29% return; and, Baxter with a 29% return. Holdings
exhibiting negative relative returns included Phelps Dodge, down 5% and Hanson
PLC, down 3%.

FIXED INCOME

The fixed income component of the Balanced Portfolio continues to maintain 100%
exposure to intermediate-term U.S. Government securities. For the six month
period ended June 30, 1995, the fixed income portion of the Portfolio had a
total return of 10.6% against a return of 9.6% for the Lehman
Intermediate-Government/Corporate Index (MSAM/Chicago's fixed-income benchmark).

The fixed income portion of the Portfolio began the year at approximately an
index neutral weighted average maturity. In the first half of 1995, interest
rates fell across the maturity spectrum, with the biggest decreases at 2-3 years
and five years. The portfolio benefited from the reshaping of the yield curve as
it holds U.S. Treasuries in maturities of 3 and 5 years. There was a slight
change in the maturity of the Portfolio in the second half of 1995 as it rolled
down the yield curve. With inflation at approximately the 3% level, and
intermediate yields (5 year maturity) at the 6% level, we are comfortable with
our current position.

INVESTING.

The investment objective of the Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio is high total
return through investment primarily in debt securities of government,
government-related and corporate issuers located in emerging countries.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 11.32% as compared to 9.23% for the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index
for the same period. The total return for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995
and the average annual total return for the period from inception in February
1994 through June 30, 1995 were 17.19% and -3.13%, respectively, as compared to
10.94% and -8.08% for the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index for the same
periods. As of June 30, 1995 the Portfolio had an SEC 30-day yield of 12.06%.

Emerging market debt rallied strongly during the second quarter. Economic
adjustment programs undertaken by Mexico and Argentina and the assistance that
these countries received from multilateral institutions and the U.S. Treasury
reduced risk premiums ascribed to this asset class. Lower perceived
probabilities of default and attractive yields attracted buyers.

The Portfolio's strong performance in the second quarter was a function of (a)
being fully invested at the market's bottom, thus benefitting from the strong
rally in the Brady bond market and (b) the Portfolio's concentration in
non-collateralized bonds which are better performers in a rising market. The
Portfolio's exposure to short-term Mexican treasury bills paid off as the
Mexican Peso strengthened. Total return on Cetes held through the quarter was
about 28%.

Credit spreads on MEXICAN sovereign and corporate debt narrowed from grossly
oversold levels as the macroeconomic stabilization in Mexico began to take hold.
The dramatic slowdown in economic activity resulting from tight fiscal and
monetary policies squeezed consumption and imports and brought about a sharp
turnaround in the balance of payments. The repayment of maturing Tesobonos by
drawing down on IMF and U.S. Treasury credits allayed market fears of a
potential default and helped in the restoration of confidence in Mexican
economic policy. The rally in the Mexican Peso enabled us to realize high total
returns on local currency denominated instruments, which accounted for about 5%
of the Portfolio at their peak. We replaced our maturing local money market
instruments in Mexico with Mexican Brady bonds and other quasi-sovereign credits
in order to capture the potential tightening in credit spreads, as the market
revalued Mexican risk. The Peso rally in the second quarter exemplified the
change in market sentiment towards Mexican risk. The credibility of the
austerity program and the government's moves to

THE EMERGING MARKETS DEBT PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
further deregulate the economy obviously took some time to develop, but Mexican
risk premiums fell as the probability of default by either the sovereign or the
private sector was reduced.

ARGENTINE assets rallied strongly in anticipation of a first round re-election
in May for President Menem, who had campaigned on a platform which stressed
continuity of sound economic policy. Asset prices encountered profit taking in
the post election euphoria as signs of a dramatic slowdown in the economy
emerged. The strait jacket of the Argentine Convertibility Plan presents a
policy dilemma as it leaves deflation as the only way out of a slowdown in
economic activity. We reduced our exposure to Argentina in June to 6% of the
Portfolio net assets from the 20% level we had maintained for some time.

BRAZIL remains our largest position at around 23% of the Portfolio. Brazil has
the strongest economy in the region and has embarked on a long and difficult
task of amending the constitution in order to de-regulate and stabilize the
economy in the long run. The reform agenda is ambitious and the legislative
sessions are likely to be noisy, with vested interest groups vying to make the
outcome more acceptable to their constituencies. We are confident that when all
is said and done Brazil will emerge as the strongest credit in the region.

ECUADOR, another high-yielding country, benefitted from the better outlook for
commodities and its handling of its foreign exchange and monetary policy in the
aftermath of the Mexico crisis.

We reduced our allocation to VENEZUELA because of continued inaction of the
government to tackle the economy's problems of high fiscal deficits and the
liquidity overhang in the banking system. A continued reliance on price and
exchange controls has not resulted in bringing down inflation and continues to
negatively impact growth prospects.

East European bonds rallied on the back of POLAND'S first Eurobond issue since
the Brady Plan. The investment grade rating by Moody's lifted sentiment for the
region. BULGARIA benefited from the rally in Poland and we have maintained our
exposure to Bulgaria to capture high yields.

Over the last quarter we also increased our exposure to RUSSIAN non-performing
sovereign loans. Political stability and signs that the economy had troughed
would lead to improved perceptions of Russia's creditworthiness. Their need to
fund fiscal deficits in a non-inflationary way and to attract foreign capital to
boost economic activity should result in a normalization of relations with their
external creditors. We currently have about 12% of the Portfolio net assets in
Russian loans and anticipate holding this position for another quarter.

NIGERIAN Brady bonds offer the highest yields in the Brady bond market. With no
deterioration in the economic and political situation the risk-return trade off
in Nigeria is favorable. The Portfolio currently has 7% of its net assets in
Nigeria.

MARKET OUTLOOK:

Declining risk premiums, improving credit fundamentals and the decline in U.S.
interest rates sparked the sharp rally in the Brady market from mid-March
onward, surprising many market participants in the process. The market is stable
at current prices and still offers very attractive valuations. The market's
focus is shifting from panicked reaction to the Mexican crisis, to understanding
the differences in sovereign credits and changes in the path of U.S. interest
rates. Perceptions of Mexico have changed dramatically and Mexican sovereign
spreads currently reflect the enthusiasm of the market towards Mexican assets.
Argentina and Brazil have widened relative to Mexico, albeit for different
reasons already alluded to above. High yielding assets of Venezuela, Nigeria,
Bulgaria and Ecuador become attractive when market conditions are stable. At the
higher end of the risk spectrum, the pre-restructuring plays of Russia, Ivory
Coast and Algeria offer attractive potential returns based on the likelihood of
a restructuring taking place in the near future.

The Brady bond market should remain stable in the absence of any dramatic
back-up in U.S. interest rates. Potential entry of long-term institutional money
into the Brady markets following a period of relative stability should confirm
the cyclical recovery in prices as the market tests the highs last seen during
the third quarter of 1994.

Over time, the Portfolio will be diversifying away from its concentrated
holdings and will be looking at attractive yields available in the short end of
the curve in both U.S. and non-U.S. dollar segments of the market.

The Fixed Income Portfolio invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of U.S.
Government securities, corporate bonds (including competitively priced
Eurodollar bonds), mortgage-backed securities and other fixed income securities.
Targeted rates of return for the Portfolio are based on current and projected
market and economic conditions and on a conservative investment management
approach.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1995 the Portfolio had a total return of
11.14% as compared with 11.45% for the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. The total
return for the twelve months ended June 30, 1995 and the average annual total
return for the period from inception in May 1991 through June 30, 1995 were
12.50% and 8.60%, respectively, as compared to 12.55% and 8.93% for the Lehman
Aggregate Bond Index for the same periods. As of June 30, 1995, the Portfolio
had an SEC 30-day yield of 6.92%.

After turning in a strong performance in the first quarter of 1995, the bond
market produced even better total returns in the second quarter. In fact,
returns on the broader bond market indices of more than 6% over the quarter were
the highest in seven years, while returns for the first half of the year of
nearly 11.5% were the highest in more than a decade. Both economic fundamentals
and technical market conditions contributed to the ongoing rally. As evidence of
a slowdown in economic activity mounted, investor expectations of an easing of
monetary policy by the Federal Reserve increased, causing interest rates to
fall. As rates fell, many investors were forced to extend their portfolio
durations, causing rates to fall further still. One notable feature of the rally
was that it was accompanied by a dramatic increase in market volatility.

While many investors had concluded by the start of the second quarter that the
Federal Reserve was not likely to tighten further, few suspected that it would
soon ease monetary policy. Over the quarter though, evidence of weakness in
economic activity accumulated rapidly, being broadly reflected in data series
for retail sales, housing, manufacturing and employment. The extremely weak
employment reports released in early May and June provided very strong
confirmation to the market of an economic slowdown. As this evidence grew,
market participants quickly began to change their expectations and anticipate a
Fed easing. By the end of June, interest rate levels implied a market
expectation of a 50-75 basis-point easing by the end of the year.

From a technical standpoint, many investors were not properly positioned for
this weakening economic

OVERVIEW

THE FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
environment. Seeking to protect against a repeat of the negative total return
experience of 1994, many institutions still held durations that were below
target. Not wanting to be left behind as the market rallied, many of these
investors extended duration, providing substantial buying power to fuel a market
rally. Moreover, as rates fell, holdings of mortgage-backed securities shortened
in duration because of expectations of faster prepayments, further adding to the
need of investors to extend duration. Overall, two-year yields fell by almost
190 basis points and 30-year yields declined by 125 basis points during the
first half of 1995.

Because of the magnitude and speed with which investor expectations were
shifting, market volatility picked up dramatically. The first half of 1995 was
characterized by sharp yield movements, both on a week-to-week and on an
intra-day basis. For example, in the two-week period between May 26 and June 9,
two-year Treasury yields first fell by 70 basis points, then rose by 70 basis
points. Intra-day yield movements of more than 20 basis points occurred several
times over the period.

The sizable decline in rates and increase in volatility had a strong influence
on sector performance. In particular, mortgage-backed securities performed
poorly, as fears of rapid prepayments caused by declining interest rates led
both investors and dealers to shun this sector. Corporate bonds performed much
better over the first half, outperforming Treasuries. The outperformance over
the first half masks interim volatility within the sector. Strong performance in
April was offset by weak performance in May as heavy new issue supply, brought
on by low rate levels, put pressure on spreads.

STRATEGY REVIEW

Over the first half of the year, we extended our durations to slightly longer
than our benchmarks. We constantly monitored the durations of our mortgage
holdings and rapidly adjusted our overall durations to compensate for the
shortening of these instruments. As the mortgage sector cheapened, our analysis
suggested that values more than compensated for prepayment concerns and we
increased our exposure to mortgage pass-throughs in June. We maintained a
somewhat more barreled yield curve distribution than our benchmarks,
particularly viewing the 10-year sector of the yield curve as expensive. We have
consistently underweighted Treasuries in favor of yield-advantaged sectors and,
at current valuation levels, expect to continue doing so.

OUTLOOK

We are currently viewing the bond market opportunistically. Rather than adhering
to a rigid view, we are willing to adjust duration or sector position as values
suggest. While current interest rate levels appear fair in terms of pricing in a
modest amount of continued easing, we are only willing to extend duration at
somewhat higher rate levels or to shorten duration if the market seems to be
pricing in too much Fed easing. We continue to overweight high quality spread
product to gain incremental yield. To the extent volatility declines from its
very high recent levels, yield advantage should become an increasingly important
source of return against the benchmarks.

The Global Fixed Income Portfolio aims to produce an attractive rate of return
by investing in fixed income securities issued by governments, agencies,
supranational entities and corporations with varing maturities in various
currencies.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was
12.55% as compared to 15.56% for the J.P. Morgan Traded Global Bond Index for
the same period. Total returns for the past twelve months and the average annual
total return for the period from inception in May 1991 through June 30, 1995
were 13.22% and 8.56%, respectively, compared to 17.46% and 11.61% for the J.P.
Morgan Traded Global Bond Index for the same periods. As of June 30, 1995, the
Portfolio had an SEC 30-day yield of 6.79%.

During the first half of 1995 fixed income markets performed strongly with local
currency returns ranging from 4.4% in Sweden to 12.6% in Japan. They were driven
by downward revisions to the expected path of short term interest rates as
economic growth showed signs of weakening. The subdued inflation background was
also supportive.

The rally was led by the U.S. where the market was buoyed by continuing
indications of slower economic activity while price and wage inflation remained
impressively tempered for this stage of the growth cycle. The Fed increased
rates by 0.5% to 6.0% in February but expectations of further monetary
tightening were then scaled back considerably. Indeed the market increasingly
discounted an easing of monetary policy in the second half of the year. By early
June the yield on ten-year maturity Treasuries had fallen below 6.0%, helped by
solid retail participation from Japanese accounts and central banks and the
hedging of mortgage bond exposure. The market produced an overall return of
around 10% for the period with longer maturities the most profitable despite a
steepening of the yield curve.

The Portfolio maintained a neutral to slightly long duration in the U.S. and
actively switched between the Treasury, corporate and mortgage sectors. Holdings
of U.S. bonds were increased over the period but the Portfolio remained
underweight. A slightly overweight position was maintained in the other dollar
bloc markets. The Canadian market offered a similar return as the economy also
displayed weakness and developments in the U.S. allowed the Bank of Canada to
lower rates without threatening the exchange rate. The Australian market also
returned around 10% as the economy slowed and a fiscal surplus was announced in
the budget. The New Zealand market

OVERVIEW

THE GLOBAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO (CONT.)
underperformed due to its heavily inverse yield curve, some political worries
and the likelihood of a temporary rise in inflation.

Japanese bonds rallied throughout the period and by June benchmark yields had
fallen below 3.0%, the lowest level since 1987. The Bank of Japan cut the
discount rate by 0.75% to a record low of 1.0% in April and overnight call rates
dropped to 1.25%. The strong yen continued to threaten the economic recovery
while the financial system remained fragile and deflation pressures mounted.
Domestic investors, faced with a falling stock market, low returns on cash and
an aversion to foreign exchange risk, gave strong support to the market. Yields
on benchmark euro-yen issues dropped below government bonds due to relative
supply pressures and custodial uncertainties. During the period under review,
the Portfolio increased both its allocation to euro-yen bonds and their duration
but stayed underweight to the detriment of relative performance.

In Europe the German market returned 7.3%, supported by a continuing downward
trend in inflationary pressures and below target money supply growth. Although
German exports held up well, the strength of the deutsche mark was seen as both
threatening growth prospects and dampening inflation. The Bundesbank cut the
discount rate by 0.5% in March and speculation of further cuts resulted in a
steeper German yield curve. Official rates were also lowered in Denmark, Belgium
and the Netherlands in the second quarter. Higher yielding markets reversed part
of their first quarter underperformance and spreads to the core markets
tightened. They were helped by the general bond rally, progress on fiscal
consolidation, some currency stability and reallocations from underweight
investors. The French market returned 7.4% but suffered as the new government's
employment goals were seen as threatening its commitment to fiscal rectitude and
a strong franc policy. A well received mini-budget and a recovery in the French
franc alleviated upward pressure on short rates during June. The U.K. market
benefited from downward revisions to economic activity but underperformed (up
5.7%) because of the inflationary risks stemming from sterling weakness.
Political turmoil and the associated potential risks of a more populist policy
agenda caused a sharp setback in June.

Portfolio performance was aided by an overall long duration position in European
holdings. Some long dated issues were shortened as the markets rallied.

On the foreign exchanges the U.S. dollar depreciated heavily against most
currencies in the first quarter then traded in narrow but volatile ranges over
the second quarter. It ended around 12% lower against the deutsche mark at
DM1.38 having touched all time lows of DM1.33 in March. It hit new lows of below
Y81 against the yen before recovering slightly to end the period 17% weaker. The
dollar remained hostage to the familiar structural problems of the U.S. current
account deficit, budget deficit and low level of national savings. In addition
the moderating pace of economic growth caused the market to revise down its
expectations for the path of U.S. interest rates. Other negatives were the shock
of the Mexican peso devaluation, a perception of limited concern among U.S.
policy makers and Central Bank diversification. However, investors became
increasingly less inclined to take strong bets against the dollar and large
scale central bank intervention at the end of May was successful at supporting
the currency. The Portfolio maintained a slightly overweight dollar position by
hedging some European currency exposure. The Australian dollar reversed some of
last year's gains, falling 8.8% against the U.S. counterpart as the large
current account deficit showed no signs of improvement. Conversely, the New
Zealand dollar rose over 4% as the Central Bank confirmed that interest rates
would be kept high to keep inflation close to its target range. The Canadian
dollar appreciated by 1% as Quebec secession risks receded and national and
provincial budget plans were viewed as increasingly credible. The Portfolio
reduced its weighting to the Canadian dollar to neutral but successfully hedged
the Australian bond exposure into New Zealand dollars. The yen was supported by
the large current account surplus, capital repatriation and the reluctance of
Japanese investors to recycle their surpluses overseas. Judging the yen to be
very overvalued, we held an underweight yen currency position which was the
largest factor causing performance to lag the benchmark. In Europe deutsche mark
strength against the dollar and country specific problems led to turmoil on the
cross rates and significant falls in most peripheral currencies. These were
partially reversed in the second quarter but ended the period significantly
weaker against the deutsche mark. The prospect of further German monetary easing
and bond market flows were supportive. Sterling fell to new all-time lows on a
trade weighted basis. A more pessimistic view of sterling was warranted by a
deteriorating trade performance, quarter-end political turmoil and the suspicion
of a politicization of monetary policy setting. We successfully positioned the
Portfolio to be overweight in the

hard core European currencies but maintained some exposure to the high yielding
currencies. The Finnish markka performed well.

The Portfolio is presently structured to have an overall duration slightly
longer than the benchmark, reflecting a positive view of bond markets. In
relative terms it is slightly underweight the U.S. and dollar bloc markets since
there are risks of the market discounting much good news in respect of a "soft
landing" for the U.S. economy. An underweight Japanese position is held in
anticipation of a reversal of the market's recent outperformance. Running yields
are un-competitive, it is vulnerable to fiscal stimulus and increased supply and
the yen is very overvalued. Real and nominal yields are considered most
attractive in the European markets. Some hedging from European currencies brings
the dollar bloc exposure to slightly overweight reflecting a positive bias to
dollar appreciation.

The general global environment of stable short-term interest rates, a
structurally subdued inflation background and a softening of economic growth
forecasts remains broadly constructive for fixed income investment during the
remainder of the year. Markets risk setbacks if it becomes apparent that they
have taken an exaggerated view of the current pause in global economic growth or
have become overly enthusiastic about rate cut prospects. The U.S. dollar
appears to be forming a base around current levels. Its significant declines
over the last eighteen months should increasingly set in motion adjustments in
the real economy that generate a cyclical recovery in the currency. It remains
cheaply valued and competitive and a slower economy should help the trade
deficit. The improved tone of the U.S. debate on fiscal policy is also a
potential support and U.S. monetary policy may prove to be tighter than
presently discounted.

1. The CS First Boston High Yield Index is an unmanaged index of high yield
   corporate bonds.

2. Total returns for the Portfolio reflect expenses waived or reimbursed, if
   applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waiver and reimbursement, total
   returns would be lower.

  PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
</TABLE>

THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS PROVIDED ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND SHOULD
NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A GUARANTEE OF THE PORTFOLIO'S FUTURE PERFORMANCE. PAST
PERFORMANCE SHOWN IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. 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. YIELDS WILL FLUCTUATE AS MARKET
CONDITIONS CHANGE.

The High Yield Portfolio seeks to maximize total return by investing in a
diversified portfolio of fixed income securities that offer a higher yield than
that offered by debt securities in the three highest rating categories.

The total return of the Portfolio for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
was 14.43% as compared to 10.77% for the CS First Boston High Yield Index for
the same period. Total returns for the Portfolio for the twelve months ended
June 30, 1995 and the average annual total return for the period from inception
in September 1992 through June 30, 1995 were 12.00% and 11.60%, respectively,
compared to 12.50% and 10.76% for the Index for the same periods. As of June 30,
1995, the Portfolio had an SEC 30-day yield of 11.00%.

The high yield market followed up a strong first quarter with an even stronger
second quarter in 1995. Again the Treasury market and equity market provided a
firm wind at the backs of high yield participants. Ten-year Treasury yields
dropped nearly one hundred basis points to 6.2% and the S&P 500 returned 9.5%
during the quarter. At quarter-end, the spread of the CS First Boston High Yield
Index to Treasuries widened to 461 basis points.

While the quarter was very strong, towards the end of the period investors
became nervous due to weak economic data. Bonds in cyclical industries in
particular traded lower. Prices rebounded nicely however, when the Federal
Reserve cut short-term interest rates twenty-five basis points. The Portfolio
benefited by a fairly low exposure to cyclical industries and a healthy
overweighting to the cable television sector. By the end of the quarter, the
cable weighting increased to a bit over 14% with the purchase of a new issue of
Marcus Cable. The company is owned by Goldman Sachs along with several buyout
funds. While highly leveraged, there is a meaningful amount of cash equity in
the company (over $300 million) and the bonds were very attractively priced at a
yield above 14%. Within a month, the bonds climbed six percent and have
continued to rise into July.

Other notable additions to the Portfolio include Algoma Steel and Six Flags.
Algoma is a large Canadian steel company undergoing a large modernization
project. Six Flags is the second largest theme park in the country and is 49%
owned by Time Warner. Both of these were purchased when the market was
temporarily soft. We feel they provide excellent value to the Portfolio.

OVERVIEW
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO (CONT.)

We made room for these purchases by reducing our exposure to the casino sector.
Casino bonds have rallied nicely this year after suffering severely in 1994.
While the outlook for Atlantic City appears good for the balance of 1995, the
announcement of new competitors in Atlantic City as well as in neighboring
jurisdictions continues to be a long term threat. We feel it was prudent to
return to a more neutral position as the market rallied.

The high yield market continues to look to the Treasury and equity markets for
direction. The recent rise in bond yields has not had an effect on the high
yield market yet. This is probably because the equity markets have remained firm
and because the flow of funds into high yield mutual funds has been good. The
flow of new issues seems to come in streaks and is difficult to anticipate.
However, the market is making marginal credits pay dearly to raise money. We
will continue to resist being seduced by a high coupon unless the underlying
fundamentals are sound.

Floating Rate Security. The interest rate changes on these instruments are based
on changes in a designated base rate. The rates shown are those in effect on
June 30, 1995.

At June 30, 1995, approximately 97% of the Portfolio's net assets consisted of
high yield securities rated below investment grade. Investments in high yield
securities are accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk and the risk tends
to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities.

1. The Lehman 7yr Muni Bond Index consists of investment grade bonds with
   maturities between 6-8 years, rated BAA or better. All bonds have been taken
   from deals done within the last five years, of $50 million or larger.

2. Total returns for the Portfolio reflect expenses waived and reimbursed, if
   applicable, by the Adviser. Without such waiver and reimbursement, total
   returns would be lower.

The Municipal Bond Portfolio commenced operations on January 18, 1995. The
Portfolio seeks high current income consistent with preservation of principal
through investment in a portfolio consisting primarily of intermediate and
long-term investment grade municipal obligations, the interest on which is
exempt from Federal income tax.

The total return of the Portfolio for the period from inception on January 18,
1995 through June 30, 1995 was 4.22% as compared to 6.24% for the Lehman
Seven-Year Municipal Bond Index for the same period. As of June 30, 1995, the
Portfolio had an SEC 30-day yield of 4.33%.

After a very strong showing during the first quarter of this year, the second
quarter proved to be more volatile for the tax-free municipal bond market. The
market significantly underperformed the U.S. Treasury market during the second
quarter. Individual investors became less aggressive buyers as tax-exempt yields
dropped and the equity market continued to divert money away from fixed income
assets. Tax-exempt mutual funds watched as developments continued to unfold in
Orange County, California. The two latest events are the voter defeat of an
increase in the county sales tax and an extension, which technically constitutes
a default, on county issued notes. Investors also are focused on tax overhaul
talk coming out of Washington -- specifically the flat tax proposal which could
potentially alter the relationship between taxable and tax-exempt securities.
Although the flat tax is far from a done deal and any possibility of change is
at least a few years away, as talk in the press intensified, the municipal
market backed up to more historically normal municipal/Treasury ratios.

The Portfolio has been defensively positioned, with an average maturity slightly
shorter than the benchmark. This has enabled the Portfolio to outperform the
benchmark during periods of market weakness (experienced in April and June) and
underperform during market strength. The first half of 1995 has been
characterized by sharp yield movements, both on a week-to-week and on an
intra-day basis, and constant speculation as to what effect each economic
release would have on the Fed's policy making decisions. At the July 5th and 6th
FOMC meeting, the Fed ultimately decided to lower the Fed Funds rate by 25 basis
points, to 5 3/4%, the Fed's first rate cut in nearly 3 years. The quote coming
out of the meeting was that "inflationary pressures have receded enough to
accommodate a modest adjustment in monetary conditions." What is unclear at this
point is what that means for Fed policy going forward. It is clear the second
quarter has seen a slowdown in economic

activity, the market's focus now will be whether this slowdown in economic
activity will continue or if it is a temporary lull before strong growth resumes
for the remainder of 1995. We will continue to monitor the level of economic
activity through the remainder of the summer and early fall and believe that
there is more risk to the downside than the upside in the U.S. bond markets
right now.

Recently, the market has begun to place a higher premium on pre-refunded bonds
because of their unique credit structure -- they are escrowed in U.S. Treasury
securities which means there is no exposure to a municipality's credit risk.
This has had a positive effect on the Portfolio because approximately 40% of the
Portfolio's net assets is invested in AAA rated pre-refunded bonds. An
additional 27% of the Portfolio is invested in state general obligation and
state agency debt. The remainder of the Portfolio securities are invested in AA
or higher rated general obligation and revenue bonds. We will continue to focus
on the very high credit quality sector of the municipal market and we plan on
maintaining and possibly increasing our percentage holdings in pre-refunded
bonds due to their strong liquidity and potential for even stronger relative
value performance.

INVESTMENTS IN SHARES OF THE PORTFOLIO ARE NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE
U.S. GOVERNMENT AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PORTFOLIO WILL MAINTAIN A
STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE. YIELDS WILL FLUCTUATE AS MARKET
CONDITIONS CHANGE.

The Money Market Portfolio's investment objectives are to maximize current
income and preserve capital while maintaining high levels of liquidity through
investing in high quality money market instruments which have effective
maturities of one year or less. The Portfolio's average maturity (on a
dollar-weighted basis) will not exceed 90 days. The Portfolio will purchase only
securities having a remaining maturity of one year or less. The Portfolio is
expected to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Portfolio will be successful in maintaining a net
asset value of $1.00 per share.

The seven day yield and seven day effective yield (which assumes an
annualization of the current yield with all dividends reinvested) for the Money
Market Portfolio as of June 30, 1995 were 5.45% and 5.59%, respectively. As with
all money market portfolios, the seven day yields are not necessarily indicative
of future performance.

During the first half of 1995, short term interest rates demonstrated
considerable volatility as the Federal Reserve shifted monetary policy from a
restrictive stance to an accommodative one. In February we saw the Fed execute
the final step (an increase of 50 basis points to 6%) in a year long campaign of
raising short-term interest rates in its effort to halt the excessive growth of
the American economy. The economic outlook was much different four months later,
however, and by the end of June market participants, having been convinced that
the rapid increase in the fed funds level had gone too far, were anticipating an
imminent easing by the Fed.

The heightened level of market volatility required the implementation of several
different strategies at various times during the first half of the year. As the
prospects for further tightening by the Fed dimmed, the Money Market Portfolio's
floating rate note position was trimmed. When the market rallied strongly, the
treasury bill positions were sold, and as spreads over treasuries became more
attractive commercial paper holdings were increased. For most of the second
quarter the Portfolio took advantage of the inversion of the treasury yield
curve by capitalizing on the high yields available in overnight and very short
term investments. The percentage of the Portfolio held in repurchase agreements
was increased as was the commitment to short-term agency discount notes.

We are pleased to report that the Portfolio continues to meet its goal of
providing as high a level of interest income as is consistent with maintaining
liquidity and stability of principal, and that the Portfolio holds only high
quality securities with over 90% invested in securities rated A1+/P1.

INVESTMENTS IN SHARES OF THE PORTFOLIO ARE NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE
U.S. GOVERNMENT AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PORTFOLIO WILL MAINTAIN A
STABLE NET ASSET VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE. YIELDS WILL FLUCTUATE AS MARKET
CONDITIONS CHANGE.

The Municipal Money Market Portfolio's investment objectives are to maximize
current income that is exempt from Federal income tax and preserve capital while
maintaining high levels of liquidity through investing in high quality municipal
money market instruments which earn interest exempt from Federal income tax in
the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer. The Portfolio will purchase only
securities having a remaining maturity of one year or less. Under normal
circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its assets in
tax-exempt municipal securities. Additionally, the Portfolio will not purchase
private activity bonds, the interest from which is subject to alternative
minimum tax. Interest on tax-exempt municipal securities may be subject to state
and local taxes. The Portfolio's average maturity (on a dollar-weighted basis)
will not exceed 90 days. The Portfolio is expected to maintain a net asset value
of $1.00 per share. There can be no assurance, however, that the Portfolio will
be successful in maintaining a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The seven day yield and seven day effective yield (assumes an annualization of
the current yield with all dividends reinvested) for the Municipal Money Market
Portfolio as of June 30, 1995 were 3.71% and 3.78%, respectively. The seven day
taxable equivalent yield and the seven day taxable equivalent effective yield
for Municipal Money Market Portfolio at June 30, 1995, assuming Federal income
tax rate of 39.6% (maximum rate) were 6.14% and 6.26%, respectively. The seven
day yields are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Concern surrounding the bankruptcy filing by Orange County, California in the
fourth quarter of 1994 extended into 1995 resulting in a general nervousness
about and lack of confidence in the tax-exempt market. This sentiment effected
demand for tax-exempt money market investments thereby increasing supply. By the
end of the first half of 1995 despite the relative under-performance on the part
of the municipal money market sector, the overall flat shape of the municipal
money market curve was comparable to that of the taxable money market sector.

The Municipal Money Market Portfolio finished the first half of 1995 with assets
of $353 million which is consistent with the size of the Portfolio at year end.
In general, the asset allocation in the Portfolio remained consistent throughout
the first six months, except for tax-exempt note holdings which dropped from a
range of 10-15% to 5% at the end of the period. The majority of tax-exempt notes
- - -- 10% of the Portfolio -- matured during the month of June; typically

tax-exempt notes' maturities coincide with the end of the particular state or
local government's fiscal year of which most are June 30th. Commercial paper
ranged from 35% to 45%, and daily and weekly variable rate preferred issues
fluctuated between 40% and 55% of the Portfolio. The Portfolio's weighted
average maturity ranged from 30 to 45 days for the first five months and then
dropped in June as the tax-exempt notes matured, ending the first half with a
weighted average maturity of 26 days.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 1995
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. As
of June 30, 1995, the Fund was comprised of 24 separate active, diversified and
non-diversified portfolios (each referred to as the "Portfolio"). During the six
months ended June 30, 1995, the following Portfolios commenced operations: Latin
American and Municipal Bond Portfolios on January 18, 1995, the U.S. Real Estate
Portfolio on February 24, 1995, and the Aggressive Equity Portfolio on March 8,
1995.

A. 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 the financial
statements.

1. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities listed on an exchange and equity
securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the latest quoted sales price.
Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their closing price.
Unlisted securities and listed securities not traded on the valuation date for
which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the
current bid and asked prices obtained from reputable brokers. Bonds and other
fixed income securities may be valued according to the broadest and most
representative market. In addition, bonds and other fixed income securities may
be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service which are based
primarily on institutional size trading in similar groups of securities. Debt
securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, if it approximates market value. Money market and municipal
money market securities are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market
value. All other securities and assets for which market values are not readily
available, including restricted securities, are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, although the actual
calculations may be done by others.

2. INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to qualify as a regulated
investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial
statements.

The Portfolios may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests.
Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated.
The Portfolio accrues such taxes when the related income is earned. For
investments in Indian securities a capital gains tax is accrued based on the
relative amounts of net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation of such
securities. The Brazilian government assesses a 1% tax on all settlements of
foreign currency used to purchase listed equity securities. The Brazilian
government repealed this tax on March 10, 1995.

Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated gain
(loss) are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences.

3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
agreements, a bank as custodian for the Fund takes possession of the underlying
securities, with a market value at least equal to the principal amount of the
repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any
repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is
marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy of the collateral.
In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right
to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counter party to the
agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be
subject to legal proceedings.

4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND FOREIGN INVESTMENTS: The books and records
of the Fund are maintained in United States dollars. Foreign currency amounts
are translated into US dollars at the mean of the bid and asked prices of such
currencies against US dollars last quoted by a major US or foreign bank.
Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates
and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that
portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the
foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market
prices of the securities held at period end. Similarly, the Fund does not
isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations
arising from changes in the market prices of securities sold during the period.
Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) are
included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on
investment transactions and balances. However, pursuant to US Federal income tax
regulations, gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions are
treated as ordinary income for US Federal income tax purposes.

Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net
foreign exchange gains (losses) from forward foreign currency contracts,
disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the
trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference
between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded
on the Fund's books and the US dollar equivalent amounts actually received or
paid and

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONT.)
JUNE 30, 1995
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
certain currency related amounts of realized gains or losses from the sale of
foreign denominated debt securities.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of US dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower
levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets
and the possibility of political or economic instability.

5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS: Each Portfolio, except the Equity Growth,
U.S. Real Estate, Municipal Bond, Money Market and Municipal Money Market
Portfolios, may enter into forward currency contracts to attempt to protect
securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future
foreign exchange rates. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two
parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market
value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates.
The contract is marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and the change in
market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized gain or loss. The Fund
records realized gains or losses when the contract is closed 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. Risk may arise upon entering into these
contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of
their contracts and is generally limited to the amount of the unrealized gain on
the contracts (if any) at the date of default. Risks may also arise from
unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the US
dollar.

6. FORWARD COMMITMENTS AND WHEN-ISSUED/DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES: Each
Portfolio may make forward commitments to purchase or sell securities. Payment
and delivery for securities which have been purchased or sold on a forward
commitment basis can take place a month or more (not to exceed 120 days) after
the date of the transaction. Additionally, certain Portfolios may purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Securities purchased on a
when-issued or delayed delivery basis are purchased for delivery beyond the
normal settlement date at a stated price and yield, and no income accrues to the
Portfolio on such securities prior to delivery. When the Portfolio enters into a
purchase transaction on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, it establishes
a segregated account in which it maintains liquid assets in an amount at least
equal in value to the Portfolio's commitments to purchase such securities.
Purchasing securities on a forward commitment or when-issued or delayed-delivery
basis may involve a risk that the market price at the time of delivery may be
lower than the agreed-upon purchase price, in which case there could be an
unrealized loss at the time of delivery.

7. LOAN AGREEMENTS: The Emerging Markets, Emerging Markets Debt and High Yield
Portfolios may invest in fixed and floating rate loans ("Loans") arranged
through private negotiations between an issuer of sovereign debt obligations and
one or more financial institutions ("Lenders") deemed to be creditworthy by the
investment adviser. The Portfolio's investments in Loans may be in the form of
participations in Loans ("Participations") or assignments of all or a portion of
Loans ("Assignments") from third parties. The Portfolio's investment in
Participations typically results in the Portfolio having a contractual
relationship with only the Lender and not with the borrower. The Portfolio has
the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is
entitled only from the Lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by
the Lender of the payments from the borrower. The Portfolio generally has no
right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan
agreement. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to the credit risk of both
the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation. When the
Portfolio purchases Assignments from Lenders, it acquires direct rights against
the borrower on the Loan. Because Assignments are arranged through private
negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, the rights and
obligations acquired by the Portfolio as the purchaser of an Assignment may
differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.

8. SHORT SALES: The Latin American, Aggressive Equity and Emerging Markets Debt
Portfolios may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the
Portfolio sells securities it does not own, but has borrowed, in anticipation of
a decline in the market price of the securities. The Portfolio is obligated to
replace the borrowed securities at the market price at the time of replacement.
The Portfolio may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities as well as pay
any dividends or interest payable on the securities until they are replaced. The
Portfolio's obligation to replace the securities borrowed in connection with a
short sale will generally be secured by collateral deposited with the broker
that consists of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high grade
debt obligations. In addition, the Portfolio will place in a segregated account
with its Custodian an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid
high grade debt obligations equal to the difference, if any, between (1) the
market value of the securities sold at the time they were sold short and (2) any
cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt

- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
obligations deposited as collateral with the broker in connection with the short
sale (not including the proceeds of the short sale). Short sales by the
Portfolio involve certain risks and special considerations. Possible losses from
short sales differ from losses that could be incurred from a purchase of a
security, because losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from
purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested.

9. PURCHASED AND WRITTEN OPTIONS: The Active Country Allocation, Gold, Latin
American, Aggressive Equity, Equity Growth, U.S. Real Estate, and Emerging
Markets Debt Portfolios may write covered call options. Premiums are received
and are recorded as liabilities, and subsequently adjusted to the current value
of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are
treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are
exercised or are canceled in closing purchase transactions are offset against
the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or
loss. By writing a call option, a Portfolio foregoes in exchange for the premium
the opportunity for capital appreciation above the exercise price should the
market price of the underlying security increase. Possible losses from written
options may be unlimited.

The Active Country Allocation, Gold, Latin American, Aggressive Equity, Equity
Growth and U.S. Real Estate Portfolios may also purchase call options on their
portfolio securities. Each portfolio may purchase call options to close out
covered call positions or to protect against an increase in the price of the
security it anticipates purchasing. Possible losses from purchased options
cannot exceed the total amount invested.

10. OTHER: 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.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis except where collection is in doubt. Discounts
and premiums on securities purchased (other than mortgage-backed securities) are
amortized according to the effective yield method over their respective lives.
Most expenses of the Fund can be directly attributed to a particular Portfolio.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the
Portfolios based upon relative net assets. Dividends from the Money Market and
the Municipal Money Market Portfolios are accrued daily and are distributed on
or about the 15th of each month. Distributions from the remaining Portfolios are
recorded on the ex-date.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
mortgage-backed securities, foreign currency transactions, net operating losses,
deferral of wash sales and post October losses and realization of gains and
losses on certain investments including forward foreign currency contracts,
options and futures contracts.

Prior governmental approval for foreign investments may be required under
certain circumstances in some emerging countries, and the extent of foreign
investment in domestic companies may be subject to limitation in other emerging
countries. Foreign ownership limitations also may be imposed by the charters of
individual companies in emerging countries to prevent, among other concerns,
violation of foreign investment limitations. As a result, an additional class of
shares (identified as "Foreign" in the Statement of Net Assets) may be created
and offered for investment. The "local" and "foreign" shares' market values may
differ.

A transaction fee of one percent is charged on subscriptions and redemptions of
capital shares of the International Small Cap Portfolio. Such fees are paid to
or retained by the Portfolio and included in paid in capital. During the six
months ended June 30, 1995, such transaction fees totaled approximately
$518,000.

B. Morgan Stanley Asset Management Inc. ("MSAM") provides the Fund with
investment advisory services at a fee calculated at the annual rates of average
daily net assets indicated below. MSAM has agreed to reduce fees payable to it
and to reimburse the Portfolios, if necessary, if the annual operating

Sun Valley Gold Company is the sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") of the Gold
Portfolio. The Sub-Adviser is entitled to receive from MSAM an annual sub-
advisory fee in an amount equal to .40% of the average daily net assets of the
Portfolio. The Sub-Adviser has agreed to a proportionate reduction in its fees
if the Adviser is required to waive its fees or to reimburse the Portfolio.

C. MSAM also provides the Fund with administrative services pursuant to an
administrative agreement, for a monthly fee which on an annual basis equals
0.15% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio plus reimbursement of
out-of-pocket expenses. Under an agreement between MSAM and The United States
Trust Company of New York ("US Trust"), Mutual Funds Service Company ("MFSC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of US Trust, provides certain administrative services to
the Fund. For such services, MSAM pays US Trust a portion of the fee MSAM
receives from the Fund.

D. Morgan Stanley Trust Company ("MSTC") acts as custodian for the Fund's assets
held outside the United States in accordance with a custodian agreement.
Custodian fees are computed and payable monthly based on securities held,
investment purchases and sales activity, an account maintenance fee, plus
reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses. MSTC and the Adviser are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Group, Inc.

US Trust acts as custodian for the Fund's assets held in the United States.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the following Portfolios incurred
custody fees and had amounts due to MSTC at June 30, 1995 as follow:

To the extent that capital loss carryovers are used to offset any future net
capital gains realized during the carryover period as provided by Federal income
tax regulations, no capital gains tax liability will be incurred by a Portfolio
for gains realized and not distributed. It is unlikely that the gains so offset
would be distributed to shareholders because such distributions may be taxable
to Portfolio shareholders as ordinary income.

Net capital and net currency losses incurred after October 31 and within the
taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Portfolio's
next taxable year. For the period from November 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994 the
Portfolio's incurred and elected to defer to January 1, 1995 for Federal income
tax purposes net capital and net currency losses of approximately:
