LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
- -------
 
The International Magnum Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers in accordance with
the EAFE country weightings determined by the Adviser. The EAFE countries in
which the Portfolio will invest are those comprising the Morgan Stanley Capital
International (MSCI) EAFE Index, which includes Australia, Japan, New Zealand,
most nations located in Western Europe, and certain developed countries in Asia.
 
For the nine month and one year periods ended September 30, 1997, the Portfolio
had total returns of 15.29% and 20.12%, respectively, for the Class A shares and
15.24% and 19.91%, respectively, for the Class B shares compared to 10.42% and
12.18%, respectively, for the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE
Index (the "Index"). From inception on March 15, 1996 to

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL
INVESTING.
 
September 30, 1997, the average annual total return for Class A shares was
15.42% and for Class B shares was 15.14% compared to 10.98% for the Index. The
Portfolio faced a challenging quarter, as the Class A and Class B shares had a
total return of -0.65% for the three months ended September 30 versus a decline
of 0.70% for the benchmark MSCI EAFE Index.
 
The international markets experienced a volatile third quarter, with weakness in
the Pacific Rim offset by strength in Europe. The turmoil in the Pacific Rim
markets was sparked by the Thai devaluation of the baht on July 2. The baht,
which had been pegged to the U.S. dollar for years, had been under pressure for
some time as economic fundamentals between the U.S. and Thailand diverged. As a
result, in order to maintain the peg, Thai officials were forced to keep
interest rates unnaturally high--a move which further debilitated the already
troubled Thai economy.
 
The Thai troubles quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia to nations whose
economic predicament and lack of prudent political leadership resembled that in
Thailand. One by one, the governments of the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia
gave up defending their currencies, permitting the market to set their
currencies' foreign exchange rates. By the end of the quarter, the four nations'
currencies and stock markets each had devalued by more than 20%, with the
Malaysian, Philippine and Indonesian markets all down by more than 40% for the
quarter. The troubles in Southeast Asia had ramifications in other nations;
within Asia, even the healthiest, most liquid Asian markets of Hong Kong and
Singapore fell 1.8% and 7.5%, respectively as investors withdrew money from the
region overall.
 
The Southeast Asian crisis also could have a negative impact on Japan,
particularly on banks and exporters. Japanese banks have exposure to Asia,
although many of the loans are to Asian subsidiaries of Japanese corporations.
In addition, approximately 35-40% of Japanese exports go to Asia, and with the
Asian economies slowing down, the Japanese exports to the region should fall
somewhat. However, as many of these exports are parts rather than finished
goods, the overall impact on Japan's
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
GDP is expected to be relatively small. The Japanese market did register a
nearly 13% decline in U.S. dollar terms during the quarter, but the fall was
primarily due to domestic factors, including weaker-than-expected consumer
spending resulting from April's increase in the consumption and other taxes.
Investors are concerned that the Japanese economic recovery has not really taken
hold, contributing to overall weak market sentiment. Export-oriented blue chip
stocks continued to outperform domestic oriented companies, and were further
helped by continued weakness in the yen.
 
Not all the news in the international markets was negative, however. Europe, in
fact, had a very strong quarter rising 8.3% overall and emerging unscathed from
the Asian turmoil. The European markets were led by the four Scandinavian
nations (Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden), which each posted double digit
gains for the quarter. The markets continue to be driven by continued
improvement in Europe's economies, low interest rates and a stronger U.S.
dollar. Corporate earnings continue to be healthy, helped by rising consumer
spending, increasing corporate investments, productivity gains, mergers and
acquisitions activity and corporate restructuring. The shareholder has become
increasingly important to European managements, and stock prices are rewarding
corporate directors for taking these positive moves. Despite this rosy outlook,
the accelerating European economies raise the longer term possibility of
inflation, and we expect the Bundesbank's recent interest rate hike may be the
first in a series over the coming months as a precautionary move to stem
inflation.
 
Against this backdrop, the Portfolio posted a small outperformance relative to
the benchmark EAFE Index in a down market. With the Asian and Japanese markets
both falling more than 12%, our exposure to these regions was a drag on
performance. While we did not have exposure to the majority of Asian markets as
they are considered "emerging markets" and therefore are outside our investment
universe, we did own Malaysian stocks at the beginning of the quarter. During
the quarter, we sold off almost all of our Malaysian holdings on the belief that
it could be some time before that market rebounds, particularly given that
nation's questionable leadership. Instead, we are now concentrating our smaller
Asian exposure in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. Despite the market drop in
Japan, our stock selection there continues to be very strong as we have held
export stocks instead of domestic oriented names or banks. Finally, our European
stocks performed relatively well in spite of weakness among smaller cap stocks
and our underweight in the United Kingdom, which rose nearly 12% for the
quarter. We have been reducing the magnitude of our U.K. underweight since the
beginning of the year as it has been one of the few markets where we have been
able to identify good, attractively priced companies.
 
Looking ahead to the last quarter of 1997, we believe that the worst of the
Asian turmoil should soon be behind us and expect to see increasing stability in
the currencies of the region, helped in part by the involvement of the
International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although it may be several months before the
Asian markets experience any type of meaningful recovery, we are keeping our
eyes open for opportunities to buy companies with good franchises and strong
managements at attractive prices. With respect to Japan, we feel that the
government will be forced to take some type of action by year end (such as a tax
cut) to help stimulate the domestic economy. We also believe that Prime Minister
Hashimoto is pushing for the right things (i.e., economic deregulation and
financial restructuring) which are critical to the long term health of the
Japanese economy and markets. Short term, however, as the domestic economic
picture remains weak, we will remain in export-oriented stocks which are
leveraged to the expanding global economy. We are also trimming back our
exposure to Japan. In Europe, we feel that the positive outlook has already been
priced into much of the market. We continue to search for inexpensive stocks,
although our task has become one of identifying relative value rather than
absolute value, as the European markets have become expensive overall.
Nonetheless, we still have been able to identify quality stocks, which has
prevented us from losing confidence despite the threat of rising interest rates.
Overall, we will continue to search for attractively priced, quality companies
throughout Europe, Asia and Japan, taking advantage of market opportunities as
we find them.
