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 three months ended March 31, 1998, the Portfolio had a total return of
14.26% for the Class A shares and 14.30% for the Class B shares compared to
14.71% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index (the
"Index"). For the one year ended March 31,

INVESTING.
 
1998, the Portfolio had a total return of 18.88% for Class A shares and 18.63%
for Class B shares compared to 18.61% for the Index. From inception on March 15,
1996 to March 31, 1998, the average annual total return of Class A shares was
14.48% and 14.18% for Class B shares compared to 11.19% for the Index.
 
The first quarter of 1998 witnessed a remarkable turnaround in international
equity markets after their poor showing in the fourth quarter of 1997. Investors
chose to overlook the turmoil in Asia and focused instead on the positive impact
European Monetary Union (EMU) was expected to have on Europe. The majority of
the European markets went on to set records in the quarter as Europe led the
EAFE Index for the quarter.
 
After confusion and disorder in Asian markets throttled world equity performance
last quarter, EAFE was only able to produce such successful returns this quarter
because investors became more sanguine in their views toward Asia. This was made
possible by two factors: renewed growth in Europe that appeared strong enough to
ignore Asian worries and positive moves on the policy front in Asia. In terms of
Asian policy, market participants were initially doubtful that the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) could correct the spreading contagion in Asia which had
begun with the currency crisis last spring in Thailand. After getting off to a
shaky start, the IMF's effective intervention seemed to calm the fears of
international investors. On the growth front, consumer sentiment in France,
which had already been robust, surprised on the upside, while consumers in the
United Kingdom continued to drive retail sales levels higher. Even the
long-quiet German consumers showed signs of stirring. In the end, this pickup in
demand proved a key ingredient in the formula for explosive performance by
European equities.
 
Europe as a region registered a 20.3% gain in dollar terms as the performances
of the individual countries were universally solid. The peripheral countries
were the main drivers of performance as Spain (+38.2%), Italy (+36.2%), Finland
(+34.2%) and Portugal (+32.8%) set the pace. The countries of "core" Europe also
performed
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
very well: UK (+18.1%), Germany (+17.0%) and France (+24.9%). The business
services sector showed the strongest performance as the approach of deadlines
for both EMU and Year 2000 increased demand for computer consulting services.
Telecommunications stocks also did very well as 1998 brought the advent of the
liberalization of telecommunications services to Europe and focused investor
attention on the value in such stocks. British Telecom (+39.2%) and Telecom
Italia (+39.1%) led our performance in that industry. Financial stocks continued
to outperform as short term rates moved lower and restructuring, particularly
through mergers and acquisitions, continued at the furious pace set last quarter
by the UBS / SBC merger. Spain's Banco Bilbao Vizcaya (+45.6%) and the
Netherlands' ING Groep (+35.2%) were our best financial performers.
 
Though it enjoyed a modestly positive return, Japan had a very volatile quarter.
After having slumped almost 20% in the fourth quarter of 1997, the Japanese
market rebounded in January to produce a one month return of 8.9% as the promise
of new and better policies from Japanese politicians convinced investors that a
turn in the fortunes of the long stagnant Japanese economy was imminent. In a
turnabout from recent events in Japan, this rally saw domestic companies
outperform the highly touted international Japanese companies. That rally proved
short-lived, however (February returns were only 0.5%) as market participants
questioned whether Japanese politicians had the resolve to produce the
politically unpopular policies necessary to right their economy. As the first
quarter ended on a negative note (March's return was -6.9%) there was a
prevailing negative consensus surrounding Japan's prospects as investors were
disappointed at the politician's confounding inability to confront the nation's
banking problems or to present a meaningful fiscal package to stimulate the
domestic economy. By the end of the quarter the international companies were
again outperforming their domestic counterparts.
 
Although they did manage to reverse their staggering declines of 1997, Asian
markets remained volatile during the first quarter. In early January investors
attention was focused on Indonesia where President Suharto announced a budget in
which it appeared he would renege on promises he'd recently made to the IMF to
institute more austere fiscal policies. The international response was swift and
consistent: the IMF threatened to cut off all aid to Indonesia and international
investors sold both their Indonesian equity and currency holdings. Markets
throughout the region suffered, but in the next few weeks Indonesian President
Suharto seemed to recant his speech and altered his budget more to the IMF's
liking. Asian markets rallied from their lows, but then traded in narrow ranges
after their initial positive response to the resolution of the troubling events
in Indonesia. Malaysia's performance was particularly noteworthy, after having
fallen 38.4% in the fourth quarter, it rebounded to a 29.5% gain for the first
quarter. None of the other countries of the region were nearly as spectacular.
The Hong Kong market which plummeted nearly 29% in the fourth quarter recovered
to produce a 1.0% return in the first quarter of 1998. The Singapore market also
reversed course after having fallen 20.6% in the fourth quarter of 1997, it was
up 2.3% in the first quarter of 1998. Australia benefited from its status as
something of a safe haven of the region. It returned 9.1% for the first quarter.
U.S. dollar based returns in New Zealand were severely impaired by currency
depreciation in the New Zealand dollar, which fell after the announcement of the
worst current account deficit in that country's history during the quarter.
 
The Portfolio enjoyed good performance for the quarter, although it slightly
underperformed the Index. Our regional allocation, in which we were underweight
Asia and Japan versus Europe helped performance. Sector selection was slight
negative, particularly in Europe as we were underweight the bank and insurance
sectors which were among the strongest performers. Currency hedging, where we
hedged exposure to the yen and the deutschemark which both depreciated during
the quarter, added to performance.
 
During the quarter we increased our exposure to Europe based on the belief that
fears of an Asian induced slowdown in Europe were overdone and that European
Monetary Union would enhance prospects for the region. European holdings now
make up 73% of the Portfolio's investments versus 71% for the Index. In Japan we
remain underweight with a 18% position versus 22% for the Index. In Asia, we
have an underweight position as well with a 4% holding versus 7% for the Index.
 
                                       3

Going forward, Europe appears to offer the most attractive investment potential
as the approach of EMU hastens the pace of corporate restructuring, industry
consolidation and region-wide deregulation. These factors should continue to
drive the performance of equity investments higher. We will maintain our
underweight positions in Japan and Asia pending the implementation of
stimulative fiscal policies strong enough to bolster regional economic growth.
