Letter to Shareholders

EARLIER THIS YEAR IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT TO YOU, WE COMMENTED ON THE CYCLICAL
NATURE OF BOTH THE EQUITY AND BOND MARKETS AND HOW IT MAY BE VIEWED FROM A SHORT
TERM INVESTOR AND A LONG TERM INVESTOR'S PERSPECTIVE. IN FISCAL 1995-1996, WE
SAW THE MARKET SOAR TO NEW HIGHS; WHILE IN THE FIRST HALF OF 1996 WE HAVE SEEN A
MUCH MORE TURBULENT MARKET. THE HIGHS OF THE FIRST QUARTER WERE PARTIALLY
NEGATED BY THE MARKET CORRECTION WE EXPERIENCED IN JULY 1996. TO THE SHORT TERM
INVESTOR THIS MAY BE ALARMING; HOWEVER, TO THE LONG TERM INVESTOR THE UPS AND
DOWNS OF 1996 YEAR TO DATE HAVE BEEN EXPECTED, IF NOT SEEN AS LONG OVERDUE.

WE BELIEVE, THAT YOU, OUR ACHIEVEMENT FUND INVESTOR, UNDERSTANDS THIS LONGER
TERM VIEW, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE NET INCREASE WE HAVE SEEN SO FAR IN 1996 IN
THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT LEVELS. ALSO, OUR INVESTMENT ADVISER, FIRST SECURITY
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC., UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS VIEWPOINT AS
THEY SEEK TO BUILD SHAREHOLDER VALUE OVER THE LONG TERM.

WHILE THE REMAINDER OF 1996 IS UNCERTAIN GIVEN THE CURRENT MARKET VOLATILITY AND
THE UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, WITH ITS INHERENT POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC
OVERTONES, WE ARE COMMITTED TO A PROGRAM OF RELATIVE STABILITY AS TO FUND
PERFORMANCE. OUR VIEW IS FOCUSED TOWARDS GROWING THE ACHIEVEMENT FUND FAMILY OF
FUNDS BOTH THROUGH A CONTINUING PROGRAM OF SALES AND MARKETING AND THROUGH THE
INTRODUCTION OF NEW FINANCIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS WHICH WE ARE DEVELOPING WITH THE
ASSISTANCE OF OUR VARIOUS DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL PARTNERS. THESE NEW PROGRAMS WILL
BE GEARED TOWARD ADDRESSING THE INVESTMENT GOALS OF THE CUSTOMERS OF OUR
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS AND WILL CONTINUE TO FEATURE THE ACHIEVEMENT FUNDS. THE
ACCOMPANYING MATERIALS INCLUDE A MORE DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL MARKETS
BY STERLING K. JENSON, PRESIDENT OF FIRST SECURITY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC.,
OUR FUND'S INVESTMENT ADVISER.

OUR SHAREHOLDER SERVICES PERSONNEL ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST YOU BY CALLING

Terms You Need to Know

TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment from the beginning to the
end of a period, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions.

NET ASSET VALUE (NAV) is the market worth of one share of a mutual fund. This
figure is derived by taking a fund's total assets - securities, cash and any
accrued earnings - deducting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares
outstanding.

YIELD is the percentage rate at which a fund's portfolio earns income, based on
a formula set by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                                                               3

Investment Adviser's Report                          

Views about the economic outlook change constantly, as demonstrated by the
day-to-day movement of stock and bond prices. In the beginning of 1996, the
economy was thought to be weak with the government shutdown and extremely poor
weather in the East. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates in January another
one-fourth percent to help stimulate the economy. Beginning in March, however,
economic statistics began to point upward and unemployment fell. Immediately,
the bond markets began to fear inflation and interest rates started to rise.
Commodity prices, especially in the grains and oil futures, soared, fueling
further anxiety of heightened inflation. As a consequence, bond prices declined
as interest rates rose over one percent. Stock prices, bolstered by rising
earnings in the first quarter, began to trade sideways as earnings were offset
by increasing interest rates.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the second quarter seemed to confirm
expectations of an overheating economy. First quarter growth of 2.0% was
supplanted by the second quarter's increase of 4.2%. Immediately economists were
clamoring for the Federal Reserve to begin raising short term interest rates to
stem the growth tide and lessen the potential for inflation. The call for a Fed
funds rate hike was nearly unanimous in late June and early July.

Beginning in July, the fireworks, detonated to celebrate America's birthday,
extended into the markets on July 5th when the government released a stronger
than expected June labor report. Both bonds and stocks plunged in value with the
report that non-farm payrolls rose by 239,000, the civilian jobless rate fell
from 5.6% to 5.3%, and average hourly earnings surged by 0.8%. The bond market
can't stand this type of prosperity. The Federal Reserve chose not to raise
rates in July because evidence regarding economic growth still continued to be
mixed in spite of the labor report. Department store and automobile sales have
weakened recently, capital spending growth appears to be on the decline, and
home-building appears to have subsided. The major catalysts for the strong GDP
growth in the second quarter, increasing inventories and consumer spending,
should moderate through the remainder of the year. Consumer debt and personal
bankruptcies are at all time highs and it appears that banks and credit card
companies are beginning to tighten their limits for credit.

IN SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect growth to trend lower during the second half of the year toward the 2%
level or lower with decreasing capital spending and a less spendthrift consumer.
Interest rates in early August have been trending down with recent moderation in
economic reports. Earnings for the second quarter have been generally favorable
and the stock market has recaptured the 400 point slide experienced in early
July. At about 5700, the Dow appears to be fairly valued. Interest rates will
probably stay in a trading range for the remainder of 1996 with the 30 year U.S.
Treasury bond yield bound in a 6.50% to 7.00% level. At First Security
Investment Management, Inc., we continue to have a long-term, optimistic outlook
for the securities market. We manage The Achievement Funds carefully, and
monitor them continuously, to provide the best returns available within the
guidelines and constraints controlling the risk profile of each Fund.

THE ACHIEVEMENT EQUITY FUND                          THE ACHIEVEMENT FUNDS TRUST
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stock market rose early in 1996 through mid-March and has traded sideways in
a choppy fashion since then. Good corporate earnings reports have been offset by
higher interest rate levels. In this uncertain period Consumer Staple stocks
performed well while Technology stocks sold off through mid-July. Using our
"growth at a price" methodology of evaluating opportunities for investment, we
have reduced our Consumer Staple sector weighting as stocks reached our target
prices and have increased our Technology positions as good values have presented
themselves. We see significant return potential in the telecommunications
equipment sector, especially, as represented by our investments in Qualcomm, DSC
Communications, Allen Group, and Analog Devices.

The factors that we look for in selecting stock investments include high
earnings growth rates both near term and long term, price/earnings ratios in the
lower end of historic ranges for each company, good managements that are able to
increase return-on-equity through growing revenues, margins and asset turnover,
and in general, stocks that may have been overlooked by Wall Street analysts.
The Achievement Equity Fund invests in medium to large capitalization companies
that have been seasoned through many business cycles.

The portfolio is well diversified, with each stock averaging less than 2 percent
of the portfolio's total market value. Sector weightings are measured against
the S&P 500 Index weightings, with moderate over-or-under weightings given
according to our economic outlook and stock market valuations. We expect to find
future values in two ways; through stock selection using the investment
adviser's proprietary methodologies and through sector weightings of the
portfolio.

THE ACHIEVEMENT BALANCED FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As investors and market strategists struggled with economic data that gave
conflicting signals, both stocks and bonds gained very little ground. During
this volatility the Balanced Fund maintained a steady course and slightly
reduced the bond exposure in favor of cash equivalents. The fund's asset
allocation as of July 31, 1996 is 57% equity, 36% bonds and 7% cash equivalents.

The Funds equity portion is currently overweighted in Technology and
underweighted in Consumer Staples. Our "growth at a price" valuation is telling
us that Technology stocks offer some of the best values in the market while the
Consumer Staples stocks are over valued relative to their earnings growth rates.
The Funds sector weight in Technology and Consumer Staples is currently 25.1%
and 13.6% compared with the S&P 500 at 15.2% and 22.1% respectively.

The bond allocation of the portfolio is structured with a slightly longer
maturity and duration than the Lehman Intermediate Government Corporate Bond
Index. The latest economic data shows very little inflation and a slowing
economy. Under this environment we would expect interest rates to remain stable
with a downward bias over the next year. The longer maturity and duration of the
Fund's bond allocation should benefit in this forecast.

                                                                               5

Looking forward we expect that both the bond and stock markets will remain
volatile until a clearer picture of the economy emerges. The stock market is at
moderately high levels relative to earnings growth and the bond market is ready
to decline at the first hint of inflation. The Achievement Balanced Fund will
change its asset allocation mix, within the limitations outlined in the
prospectus, to take advantage of whichever way the economy heads over the next
year.

THE INTERMEDIATE TERM BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund was structured at the beginning of the year to take advantage of an
expected continued decline in interest rates. This position was based upon the
expectation for continued slow economic growth, low inflation and the likelihood
of a balanced budget amendment. Inflation has remained under control thus far,
however economic growth has been stronger than expected and the balanced budget
amendment was not agreed upon causing general upward movement in interest rates
through the first seven months of the year. The strength of the economy and fear
of potential future inflation led many investors to expect Fed tightening to
take place at several points during the summer season. The ten and thirty year
U.S. Treasury bond yields moved up from 5.57% and 5.95% at the end of 1995 to
6.79% and 6.97% respectively at the end of July 1996. Most recently there have
been indications of a slower growth economy resulting in interest rates
declining off their peaks. Looking forward we expect interest rates to remain in
a trading range of 6.5% to 7.0% for the thirty year U.S. Treasury through the
end of the year with a general downward bias as we move into 1997. This
expectation is again built upon low inflation and slow economic growth. Because
of this expectation the Fund maintains a duration and weighted average maturity
as of July 31, 1996, somewhat longer than the comparative index:

                                   MODIFIED        WEIGHTED
                                   DURATION        AVG. MAT.
                                   --------        ---------
Intermediate Bond Fund               3.91            4.81
Lehman Intermediate
   Gov./Corp.                        3.33            4.27

The asset allocation at the end of July 1996 is approximately the same as it was
at the end of 1995; 53% Treasuries, 7% Government Agencies, 38% corporates and
2% in cash equivalents.

THE SHORT TERM BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As interest rates increased during the first half of the year the Short Term
Bond Fund was effected much less negatively than were longer maturity and
duration portfolios. During this period of time the weighted average maturity
declined slightly from 1.26 years to 1.12 years and the modified duration from
1.17 years to 1.03 years. The short term nature and the slight decline in the
interest rate sensitivity measures acted to keep volatility low while preserving
principal value.

Due to our expectation for interest rates to remain in a relatively flat trading
range through the remainder of the year and for a downward bias into 1997 and
due to low inflation and a slow growth economy, the weighted average maturity
and duration will likely be increased somewhat as we move through the second
half of 1996 in order to better take advantage of the interest rate move and to
maintain income production.

The asset allocation was adjusted slightly over the period to produce more
income as the corporate weighting increased from 59% at the end of 1995 to 65%
at the end of July 1996.

THE ACHIEVEMENT SHORT TERM
MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three year "A" rated municipal yields rose 50 basis points during February and
March, the first two months of the Fund's current fiscal year. The result was a
1.17% decline in the net asset value of the Fund during the first quarter. Net
asset value remained flat during the second fiscal quarter.

The entire municipal market suffered a set back late in the winter, largely due
to "Flat Tax Fever" that resulted from the political rhetoric of Steve Forbes.
Nevertheless, during the first half of calendar year 1996, the Achievement Short
Term Municipal Bond Fund ranked 25th in the entire universe of municipal bond
mutual funds in the United States with a positive return of +0.91% (Source:
Money/ Morningstar). During this time of adversity, the Fund proved that it was
a good safe haven for the tax-exempt investor.

We expect that the financial markets will remain fairly stable for the balance
of this election year as any action by the Federal Reserve seems unlikely at
this time. The Fund is therefore "made to order" for conservative, high-tax
bracket investors who desire stability of principal coupled with steady, monthly
cash flow that is exempt from federal income taxes.

THE ACHIEVEMENT IDAHO
MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On January 31, 1996, the Fund had a net asset value of $10.80 per share. By the
end of our fiscal first half, the net asset value per share had declined to
$10.41, a drop of 3.61%.

All of this loss occurred in the February through April period, much of it
brought about by Republican Presidential Candidate Steve Forbes' campaign, which
was largely based upon the "flat tax" concept. The flat tax as presented by
Forbes would destroy municipal financing as we know it today. With the departure
of Mr. Forbes from the scene, the tax-exempt market has stabilized.

At this time, "AAA" municipals are rich relative to treasuries, with 20-year
yields at 81.4% of similar maturity treasury bonds. The range over the past 12
months has been 80.7% to 90.1%. This reflects superior performance by
tax-exempts relative to treasuries in recent weeks. However, as the 30 day
visible supply of new bonds is one-third of the level of mid-March, and the
supply of treasuries and corporates is not expected to abate, it seems likely
that premium "richness" can be maintained.

The Fund's weighted average maturity has been kept at about 11 years, and an
effort has been made to diversify the holdings as much as possible to represent
as many Idaho issuers and communities as possible. The Fund has strictly adhered
to its investment objective of providing a steady flow of income that is exempt
from both Federal and State income taxes to shareholders. Should the U.S.
economy finally slow down in 1997, as many economists deem possible, the NAV
should recover to the high levels of December, 1995. In the meantime, enjoy the
tax-free income flow!!

Notes to Financial Statements
(UNAUDITED)


1. ORGANIZATION
================================================================================
     The Achievement Funds Trust (the "Trust"), formerly the FSB Funds, was
organized as an unincorporated business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts pursuant to a Master Trust Agreement dated December 16, 1988,
which agreement was amended and restated on October 7, 1994 and further amended
on December 1, 1994.

     The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust presently
consists of a series of seven funds (the "Funds") which includes the Equity Fund
and the Balanced Fund (the "Stock Funds") and the Intermediate Term Bond Fund,
the Short Term Bond Fund, the Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, the Idaho
Municipal Bond Fund and the Municipal Bond Fund (the "Bond Funds"). The
Municipal Bond Fund had not commenced operations as of July 31, 1996. The Funds'
prospectus provides a description of each Funds investment objectives, policies
and strategies. The Trust is registered to offer two classes of shares,
Institutional and Retail Class A. The Trust's declaration of trust permits the
Board of Trustees to create additional funds in the future. The assets of each
Fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the Fund in
which shares are held.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
================================================================================
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds.

SECURITY VALUATION -- Investments in equity securities that are traded on a
national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market system)
are stated at the last quoted sales price, if readily available for such equity
securities on each business day; other equity securities traded in the
over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was
reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Option contracts
are valued at the last quoted bid price as quoted on the primary exchange or
board of trade which such option contracts are stated. Debt obligations
exceeding sixty days to maturity for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations
with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their
amortized cost. Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value using methods as approved by the Board of
Trustees.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are
accounted for on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. For the Equity
Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Intermediate Term Bond Fund and the Short Term Bond
Fund, costs used in determining net realized capital gains and losses on the
sale of securities are those of the specific securities sold, adjusted for the
accretion of the purchase discounts during the respective holding period, which
is calculated using the effective interest method. For the Short Term Municipal
bond Fund and the Idaho Municipal Bond Fund, costs used in determining net
realized capital gains and losses on the sale of securities are those of the
specific securities sold, adjusted for the accretion and amortization of the
purchase discounts and premiums during the respective holding period, which is
calculated using the effective interest method. Interest income is recorded on
the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date.

                                                     THE ACHIEVEMENT FUNDS TRUST


OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS -- In order to produce incremental earnings, protect gains,
and facilitate buying and selling of securities for investment purposes, the
Equity Fund and the Balanced Fund may write covered call options. A risk in
writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity of profit if the
market price of the underlying security increases. The Fund realizes a gain upon
the expiration of a written call option. When a written call option is closed
prior to expiration by being exercised, the proceeds of the sale are increased
by the amount of original premium received.

EXPENSES -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged
directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the
Funds on the basis of relative net assets. Class specific expenses, such as
12b-1 fees, are borne by that class. Income, other expenses and accumulated
realized and unrealized gains and losses of a Fund are allocated to the
respective class on the basis of the relative net assets each day.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income are
declared and paid on a quarterly basis for the Equity Fund. The Balanced Fund
declares and pays its dividend on a monthly basis. The Bond Funds declare
dividends on a daily basis and pays them on the first business day of the
following month. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for a
Fund are distributed to its shareholders at least annually.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Trust's policy is to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no
provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

ORGANIZATION COSTS -- Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Funds
and are being amortized over sixty months commencing with operations. In the
event any of the initial shares of a Fund are redeemed by any holder thereof
during the period that the Fund is amortizing its organizational costs, the
redemption proceeds payable to the holder thereof by the Fund will be reduced by
the unamortized organizational costs in the same ratio as the number of initial
shares being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares outstanding at the
time of redemption. 

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND CUSTODIAL SERVICES
================================================================================
     Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement dated December 27, 1994,
investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by First Security
Investment Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"). The Adviser is entitled to receive
an annual fee of 0.74% of the average daily net assets of the Stock Funds and
0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Bond Funds. Such fee is computed
daily and paid monthly. During the six month period ended July 31, 1996, the
Adviser voluntarily waived a portion of its fees in order to limit operating
expenses.

     The Trust and CoreStates Bank (the "Custodian") are parties to a custodial
agreement dated December 27, 1994, under which the Custodian holds cash,
securities and other assets of the Trust, as required by the Investment Company
Act of 1940. In its capacity as custodian to the Trust, the Custodian plays no
role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or which securities are
to be purchased or sold in the Funds.

                                                                     (CONTINUED)


                                                                              29

4. ADMINISTRATIVE, TRANSFER AGENT AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES
================================================================================
     Pursuant to an administrative agreement dated December 27, 1994, SEI Fund
Resources ("SFR") acts as the Trust's Administrator. Under the terms of such an
agreement, SFR is entitled to receive an annual fee of 0.20% of the average
daily net assets of the Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Intermediate Term Bond Fund,
and the Short-Term Bond Fund. The Administrator is entitled to a fee from the
Short Term Municipal Bond Fund and the Idaho Municipal Bond Fund in an amount
equal to the greater of 0.20% of their daily net assets or $100,000 per annum.
The Administrator has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fee for the
six month period ended July 31, 1996 for the Short Term Municipal Bond Fund and
the Idaho Municipal Bond Fund in order to limit operating expenses.

     Pursuant to an agreement dated December 27, 1994, DST Systems, Inc. ("DST")
acts as the Transfer Agent of the Trust. As such, DST provides transfer agency,
dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and administrative services for the
Trust.

     SEI Financial Services Company ("SFS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI
Corporation, acts as the Trust's Distributor pursuant to a distribution
agreement dated December 27, 1994. The Distributor receives no fee for its
services in connection with distribution of the Institutional shares. The Trust
has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") on behalf of the Retail Class A
shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plan
provides for the payment by the Trust to the Distributor of up to .25% of the
average daily net assets of the Retail Class A shares.

     Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator. Such
officers are paid no fees by the Trust.

6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
================================================================================
     The Short Term Municipal Bond Fund and the Idaho Municipal Bond Fund invest
in debt instruments of municipal issuers. The issuer's ability to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific state or
region. The Idaho Municipal Bond Fund invests primarily in obligations of
municipalities located in Idaho. The Short Term Municipal Bond Fund and the
Idaho Municipal Bond Fund invest in securities which include revenue bonds, tax
exempt commercial paper, tax and revenue anticipation notes, and general
obligation bonds. At July 31, 1996, the percentage of total value of investments
by each revenue source was as follows:
                                             SHORT TERM             IDAHO

     Many municipalities insure their obligations with insurance underwritten by
insurance companies that undertake to pay a holder, when due, the interest and
principal amount on an obligation if the issuer defaults on its obligation.
Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by the issuer,
there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations.
Also, some of the securities have credit enhancements (letters of credit or
guarantees issued by third party domestic or foreign banks or other
institutions). At July 31, 1996, 27% and 61% of the total value of the Short
Term Municipal Bond Fund and Idaho Municipal Bond Fund, respectively, were
insured or had credit enhancements.
     The ratings of debt holdings by Standard & Poor's or Moody's as a
percentage of total value of investments at July 31, 1996 are as follows:

                                                                        IDAHO
