PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
 
Dear Investor:
 
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report for the Riggs Funds—Class R and Class Y Shares—for the first half of the funds’ current fiscal year, which is the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000. It begins with an investment commentary by each portfolio manager, followed by a complete list of holdings and the financial statements for each fund.
 
The following highlights summarize fund performance over the six-month reporting period:
 
Riggs Stock Fund
 
The six-month reporting period was a volatile one for some sectors of the U.S. stock market. As a result, the fund’s diversified portfolio of high-quality, “household name” stocks produced a slightly negative total return. The Class R Shares total return was (3.93%), or (5.85%) adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* The return was the result of a $0.52 decline in net asset value. The Class Y Shares total return was (3.82%), the result of a $0.51 decline in net asset value.* The fund’s net assets totaled $131 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
 
As the most aggressive fund in the Riggs family, the fund invests in carefully selected stocks issued by small companies.** Small-company stocks continued to show weakness during the reporting period. Reflecting the decline in values among small-company stocks, the total return for Class R Shares was (2.66%) or (4.61%) adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* The return was due to a $0.35 decline in net asset value. The return for Class Y Shares was (2.50%), the result of a $0.33 decline in net asset value.* At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s net assets totaled $74 million.
 
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
 
This fund is managed to help investors pursue capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of the largest growth companies traded on U.S. stock markets. Class R Shares produced a total return of 6.83%, or 4.83% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* The return was due to $0.80 rise in net asset value. Net assets in the fund totaled $104 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund
 
This fund’s government-focused bond portfolio paid Class R Share dividends totaling $0.26 per share. The Class R Shares net asset value increased from $9.47 to $9.68. The dividends and net asset value increase resulted in a total return of 4.97%, or 2.97% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* For Class Y Shares, dividends totaling $0.27 per share. The net asset value increased from $9.47 to $9.68. The dividends and net asset value increase resulted in a total return of 5.10%* The fund’s net assets totaled $114 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Bond Fund
 
This fund is managed to help investors pursue a high level of current income through a portfolio of investment grade corporate bonds and government bonds. Class R Shares paid dividends totaling $0.05 per share, while the net asset value increased $0.20. As a result, Class R Shares produced a total return of 4.95%, or 2.95% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* Net assets in the fund totaled $39 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund
 
Designed for tax-sensitive investors, this fund pursues a high level of income free of federal income tax through a portfolio of intermediate-term, investment grade municipal bonds.*** Class R Shares paid dividends totaling $0.21 per share, while net asset value increased $0.14. As a result, Class R Shares produced a total return of 3.57%, or 1.57% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* Net assets in the fund totaled $62 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund
 
This fund is also managed to help tax-sensitive investors pursue a high level of income free of federal income tax—through a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal bonds.*** Class R Shares paid dividends totaling $0.23 per share, while net asset value increased by $0.22. As a result, in its initial period of operation, Class R Shares produced a total return of 4.54%, or 2.54% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* Net assets in the fund totaled $61 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Prime Money Market Fund
 
This fund helps shareholders earn daily income on their ready cash through a portfolio of high-quality money market securities.† The fund’s Class Y Shares and Class R Shares each paid dividends totaling $0.03 per share.* The fund ended the reporting period with total net assets of $277 million.
 
Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
 
This is the most conservative Riggs fund, which is managed to help shareholders earn daily income on their ready cash through a portfolio of direct U.S. Treasury money market securities or repurchase agreements fully backed by U.S. Treasury securities.† The fund’s portfolio of U.S. Treasury money market securities paid dividends totaling $0.03 per share for Class Y Shares and $0.03 per share for Class R Shares over the reporting period.* Net assets in the fund totaled $171 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
As the financial markets fluctuate in response to various influences, it’s particularly important to keep focused on the long-term—which is the true measure of total return performance. Of course, if you’re a money market fund investor, your outlook is considerably shorter—your money is at work earning daily income and ready whenever you need it.
 
However near or far your financial goals are, thank you for pursuing them through the professional management and diversification of the Riggs Funds. We’ll continue to keep you up-to-date on your progress.
 
Sincerely,
/s/    Edward C. Gonzales

INVESTMENT REVIEW
 
Riggs Stock Fund
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
For the reporting period ended October 31, 2000, the stock market exhibited increased volatility. Early in the reporting period, the market reacted to Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) tightening, and later uncertainty grew with rising oil prices and the presidential election. Small capitalization stocks, as reflected by the Russell 2000 Index,* performed slightly better than the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index** (“S&P 500”) for the reporting period.
 
From May 1, 2000 through October 31, 2000, Class Y Shares of the Stock Fund had a total return of (3.82%); while Class R Shares had a total return of (3.93%), or (5.85%) adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.*** Class Y Shares of the Small Company Stock Fund had a total return of (2.50%); while Class R Shares had a total return of (2.66%), or (4.61%) adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.*** Our investment philosophy in managing both equity funds is to balance long-term valuation with the catalyst of near-term earnings acceleration. We employ our methodology, which we call Value Momentum, by initially analyzing four key factors: (1) relative price; (2) earnings growth relative to the stock’s price-to-earnings multiple; (3) earnings estimate revisions; and (4) relative price strength. For stocks scoring high in this process, we focus on the fundamental changes that management is implementing within these companies to generate earnings growth. We then invest in those companies in which we have the most confiden ce in management.
 
We maintain a broad diversification of stocks among industries. In the Stock Fund, the largest sector remains Technology.† Telecommunications service providers in this sector suffered from earnings shortfalls, while a deceleration of capital spending growth hurt telecommunications equipment manufacturers. Financial stocks and electric utilities were some of the top performing sectors as odds of additional Fed tightening became more remote. Energy shares, such as Exxon Mobil and Coastal Corp., were strong as oil and gas prices rose because of reduced inventories and strong supply/demand fundamentals.
 
In the Small Company Stock Fund, we remain diversified with Technology, Financials and Consumer Cyclicals as the largest sectors in the fund. Valuations in the small stock arena are improving and we will add selectively as opportunities arise. In general, we see continued volatility in the stock market as it transitions to a slower economic environment. We believe that our disciplined focus on undervalued companies with solid earnings growth should continue to reward shareholders.
 
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
For the reporting period from May 1, 2000 through October 31, 2000, Class R Shares generated a total return of 6.83%, or 4.83% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee,*** compared to a return of (1.02%) on the S&P 500 and a return of (12.72%) on the Nasdaq Composite Index†† (“Nasdaq”) over the same period. Since inception on December 20, 1999 through October 31, 2000, Class R Shares generated a total return of 25.32%, or 23.32% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee,*** compared to returns of 1.75% on the S&P 500 and (10.95%) on the Nasdaq over the same period.
 
There are three primary reasons why the performance of the fund was relatively strong through October 31.
 
First, technology represents by far the largest sector in which we invest.† In recent years, the technology sector has grown faster than most other sectors. This above average growth has attracted investment dollars and has tended to drive stock prices in that sector upward over the last few years.
 
Second, we tend to focus on companies that we believe have the potential for above-average long-term growth in revenues and/or earnings. In recent years, stocks of growth-oriented companies generally have outperformed stocks of value-oriented companies.
 
Third, at any given time we tend to keep all but a modest portion of the fund invested in equities as opposed to more defensive investments such as money market securities. In recent years, the markets generally have rewarded with higher returns those who invest more aggressively rather than defensively.
 
Although the fund has outperformed major market indexes through October 31, we would like to take note of market conditions that have transpired since that time. As we write this report in December, technology stocks are in the throes of a bear market. The S&P 500 and (to an even greater extent) the tech-heavy Nasdaq have been hit hard by this bear market. Given our strong commitment to the tech sector, the fund has fallen significantly in the past few months, falling in sympathy with the Nasdaq but underperforming the S&P 500 by a significant margin.
 
Understandably, some investors may be unnerved by sudden steep market declines such as those experienced recently. Although it may be difficult to develop accurate short-term market prognostications, we find at least three reasons to believe that market conditions are likely to improve in 2001. First, the Fed recently revealed an inclination to reduce interest rates in the new year. Since much of the value of growth stocks lies in their future earnings, lower interest rates would imply a lower discount to the value of those earnings. Lower interest rates would help create a more favorable commercial lending environment, thereby enhancing the earning potential of growth companies. Second, we believe that despite the current economic slowdown companies represented in the fund are likely to meet revenue and earnings expectations for the new year. Despite recent stock price volatility in this sector, we continue to believe that companies in technology and other growth sectors will drive worldwide economic growth and therefore will offer compelling investment opportunities in the future. Third, we believe that, since valuations are much more attractive than they were earlier in the year, those valuations are likely to attract money back into the equity markets.

INVESTMENT REVIEW (continued)
 
During these challenging times, we would like to offer some cautionary advice to investors. Stock prices of companies owned by the fund generally carry relatively high price-to-earnings multiples because they are expected to grow revenues and/or earnings at above-average rates and because they are usually in sectors such as technology with above-average growth rates. Not surprisingly, such stocks tend to fall further in bear markets. However, we have found that such stocks tend to rise farther in a bull market and are therefore somewhat resilient over the long term. While the past is no guarantee of the future, we are confident in the long-term growth prospects of stocks held in the fund. We encourage investors to maintain their focus on investing for the long term.

During the reporting period from May 1, 2000 through October 31, 2000, the economy began to show the signs of a slowdown. During the 3rd quarter, the economy grew at a 2.4% rate, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), which registered a precipitous drop from the 2nd quarter’s 5.6% rate. The Fed raised the fed funds rate 50 basis points from 6% to 6.5% in May. Since May, Fed policy has remained unchanged but biased toward inflationary pressures. Oil and natural gas continued to make new highs creating questions regarding the outlook for inflation as winter approaches. During the reporting period, the fixed income markets remained largely range bound, and as a result mortgage bonds were the best performing sector, returning 6.31%. In addition, swap spreads tightened as the yield curve steepened by 34 basis points.
 
Going forward into 2001, commodity prices, specifically crude oil and natural gas, may begin to foster inflationary pressures. Regarding the overall economy, the trade deficit may begin to weigh on the current economic expansion by putting pressure on the dollar. The Fed will most likely continue its gradual approach until either the core rate of inflation rises above current levels or the economy/equity market shows signs of a hard landing. Based upon the economic outlook, the portfolios should look to overweight Treasuries and Mortgages heading into 2001.

The Fed raised the fed funds rate 50 basis points from 6% to 6.5% in May. Since May, Fed policy has remained unchanged but biased toward inflationary pressures. Municipals were one of the best performing sectors, returning 7.32%. Much of the demand in the tax-exempt market was a direct result of the volatility in the equity markets. Retail demand was moderate but could get even stronger as investors continue to build up cash. Another trend that became prevalent during this reporting period was the tiering of credit quality. Investors were willing to pay very aggressive levels for the higher quality paper in specialty states.
 
Going forward into 2001, commodity prices, specifically crude oil and natural gas, may begin to foster inflationary pressures. Regarding the overall economy the trade deficit may begin to weigh on the current economic expansion by putting pressure on the dollar. The Fed will most likely continue its gradual approach until either the core rate of inflation rises above current levels or the economy/equity market shows signs of a hard landing. Based upon the economic outlook portfolios should look to overweight higher quality issues with favorable call structures.

Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
In May, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate 50 basis points from 6.00% to 6.50% in its attempt to slow down the economy and keep inflation in check. Since June 1999, the Fed has raised the target by a total of 1.75 percentage points. The Fed has left the target unchanged at 6.50% since May and the recent economic weakness raises the possibility of an easing in policy in early 2001. The deceleration in job growth is one factor contributing to the slowing economy. After averaging more than 200,000 last year and 185,000 in the first half of this year, job growth has averaged only 113,000 over the last several months. Third quarter GDP growth at a 2.4% rate indicates a substantial slowing in the economy versus the 5.5% and 5.6% rates in the first and second quarters, respectively. The Consumer Price Index has moved upward throughout the year, increasing at a 2.7% annual rate for the first 10 months of the year versus a 1.9% rate for all of 1999. Consumer prices have been affected in part by the swi ngs in energy prices, particularly crude oil ranging from a low of around $23 a barrel in April to a high of $35 in late September. Both consumer confidence and personal spending have been impacted by the overall slowdown in the economy. We will continue to monitor the markets by looking at indicators such as consumer confidence, the unemployment rate and non-farm payrolls, capital goods orders and the dollar.
 
Treasury prices have moved in the opposite direction of stocks so far this year—advancing as stocks have declined. Through October, the one-year Treasury has returned 5.00%, the two-year Treasury 5.42%, the ten-year Treasury 8.28% and the thirty-year Treasury 13.56%. The curve has remained inverted during this reporting period with the spread between the one-year Treasury and the thirty-year Treasury widening to minus 37 basis points. Yields on commercial paper remained fairly steady throughout the reporting period although the spread between the one-month and six-month paper did invert. This combined with the continued inversion of the Treasury curve contributed to the shorter average maturity of the funds.

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is included in the Common Trust Fund net assets received.
 
Effective December 20, 1999, Stock Fund, Small Company Stock Fund and U.S. Government Securities Fund began offering Class Y Shares. Additionally, the Trust added four new portfolios to the Riggs Funds Family: Large Cap Growth Fund (Class R and Class B Shares), Bond Fund (Class R Shares), Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund (Class R Shares), and Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund (Class R Shares).
 
Previously, the Stock Fund and Small Company Stock Fund offered Class R, Class Y and Class B Shares. Additionally, the Large Cap Growth Fund offered Class R and Class B Shares. As of July 24, 2000, the Class B Shares for all three funds were no longer offered.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
Investment Valuations
U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds (other fixed income and asset-backed securities), and unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a primary national securities exchange. For the money market Funds within the Trust, the use of the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. For fluctuating net asset value Funds within the Trust, short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.
Riggs Funds
 
Repurchase Agreements
It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.
 
The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds’ adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.
 
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. The Funds (except Bond Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund and Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund) offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
 
Federal Taxes
It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
 
At April 30, 2000, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes, which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve each Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Bond Fund      $    561,065
Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund      $    233,855
Prime Money Market Fund      $          240
 
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
 
Securities Lending
Under guidelines adopted by the Trustees, each Fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers/dealers and other financial organizations in order to generate additional income. Loans of portfolio securities by a Fund will be collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, which are maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. Collateral is either held as cash or reinvested in short- term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. The Funds return a portion of the interest on any cash received as collateral and continue to receive interest or dividends on securities loaned. Included in interest income is $898, $18,635, $5,808, $3,690, $1,998 and $57,794 for Stock Fund, Small Company Stock Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, Bond Fund, Prime Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, respectively, attributable to income earned on securities lending transactions.
 
Loans will be made to firms deemed by the Funds’ adviser to be of good financial standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of the Funds’ adviser, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities consist of possible decline in value of collateral, possible delays receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities or expenses from enforcing the Funds’ rights should be the borrower of the securities fail financially.
 
As of October 31, 2000, the value of securities loaned plus interest, the payable on collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:

Cash and non-cash collateral are held in a segregated account.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
 
Other
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
