PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the Riggs Funds--Class R Shares and Class Y Shares--for the 12-month period from May 1, 1999 through April 30, 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. Please note that this report includes information about four new additions to the Riggs Funds that began operation on December 20, 1999--Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund, Riggs Bond Fund, Riggs Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund and Riggs Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund.
The performance highlights of each fund are as follows:
Riggs Stock Fund
During the reporting period, the fund's diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks--which included many household names like Alcoa, AT&T, American Express, Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Exxon Mobil, Sears, Time Warner, and Xerox--produced a total return of (1.04%), or (2.71%) adjusted for the 2% redemption fee, for Class R Shares and 6.98% for Class Y Shares (Class Y Shares began operation on December 20, 1999).* These returns were the result of a $2.58 decline in net asset value, $0.01 per share in dividend income and $2.20 per share in capital gains for Class R Shares. Contributing to the Class Y Shares return over its initial period of operation were a $0.85 increase in net asset value and $0.01 per share in dividend income. The fund's net assets totaled $159.3 million at the end of the reporting period.
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
As the most aggressive fund in the Riggs family, this fund invests in carefully selected stocks issued by small companies.** In an improved environment for small-company stocks, the fund produced a total return of 16.77%, or 14.77% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee, for Class R Shares and 14.61% for Class Y Shares (Class Y Shares began operation on December 20, 1999).* These returns were the result of an increase in net asset value of $1.89 for Class R Shares and $1.68 for Class Y Shares. At the end of the reporting period, fund assets totaled $90.4 million.
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
This new fund, which began operations on December 20, 1999, is managed to help investors pursue capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of the largest growth companies traded on U.S. stock markets.

As a result, in its initial period of operation, Class R Shares produced a total return of 17.31%, or 15.31% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* Assets in the fund totaled $103 million at the end of the reporting period.
Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund
This fund's government bond portfolio paid dividends totaling $0.51 per share for Class R Shares, while its net asset value declined from $9.85 to $9.47 as a rising interest rate environment caused a broad decline in bond prices. As a result, the fund produced a total return of 1.39%, or (0.54%) adjusted for the 2% redemption fee. The fund's Class Y Shares, which began operation on December 20, 1999, paid dividends totaling $0.19 per share, while the net asset value increased from $9.42 to $9.47 over its initial period of operation. As a result, Class Y Shares produced a total return of 2.58%.* Assets in the fund totaled $132.9 million at the end of the reporting period, which were invested primarily in U.S. Treasury obligations (56.9%) followed by government agency securities (39.2%), a repurchase agreement (2.3%), and a corporate bond (0.7%).
Riggs Bond Fund
This new fund, which began operations on December 20, 1999, 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 $0.21 per share, while net asset value increased slightly by $0.01 per share. As a result, in its initial period of operation, Class R Shares produced a total return of 2.18%, or 0.18% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* Net assets in the fund totaled $41.6 million at the end of the reporting period.
Riggs Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund

As a result, in its initial period of operation, Class R Shares produced a total return of 1.31%, or (0.69%) adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* Net assets in the fund totaled $66.6 million at the end of the reporting period.
Riggs Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund

As a result, in its initial period of operation, Class R Shares produced a total return of 1.76%, or (0.24%) adjusted for the 2% redemption fee.* Net assets in the fund totaled $69.1 million at the end of the reporting period.
Riggs Prime Money Market Fund

INVESTMENT REVIEW
Riggs Stock Fund
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
For the reporting period ended April 30, 2000, the stock markets continued to advance. While technology stocks have dominated the best performance list, we are seeing nascent signs of a broadening of the market. Small capitalization stocks, as reflected by the Russell 2000 Index,* actually performed better than the Standard &Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500")** for the reporting period. Within the large capitalization universe, we are seeing improving returns in non-technology sectors. It is not clear whether there is a trend developing towards value; however, earnings confidence seems to be improving in the value universe. We have always believed that a sustainable move in any company's stock price is predicated on either an acceleration in earnings growth or a higher degree of confidence in the level of earnings.
For the period from May 1, 1999 through April 30, 2000, the Class R Shares of the Stock Fund had a total return of (1.04%), and the Class R Shares of the Small Company Fund generated a total return of 16.77%.*** Our investment philosophy in managing both equity funds is to balance long-term valuation with the catalyst of short-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 highly 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 confidence in management.
We maintain a broad diversification of stocks among industries. In the Stock Fund, the largest sector remains Technology, with Cisco Systems Inc., the largest stock in the sector and in the mutual fund.+ Management has done a superior job offering products and services geared toward the inter-net infrastructure. Apple Computer and EMC Corp. also significantly added to returns during the reporting period. While these were not recent purchases, we let our "winners run" during the reporting period so that our clients could benefit from the strong underlying fundamental trends in Technology; before profit taking. Energy, Retail and the Finance Sectors are overweighted relative to the market. Not only do we see attractive valuation; we also see a higher level of earnings confidence. Exxon Mobil Corporation, Circuit City, Merrill Lynch, and American Express are the major holdings in these sectors.
The Small Company Stock Fund benefited from not only the recognition of the attractive valuations in the small cap universe, but also in the higher level of earnings growth. Over the course of the reporting period, we added to the Technology sector. While we are underweighted relative to the market, Technology is the largest sector in the Small Company Fund.+ Tech Data Corp. and LCC International Inc. were large contributors to performance in this sector during the reporting period. Energy, Consumer Cyclicals and Finance were the sectors that have an overweight relative to the market in the Small Company Fund. National Oilwell Inc., Atlantic Coast Airlines and Apartment Investment & Management Inc. are the major holdings in these sectors.
Despite higher interest rates, we believe the outlook for stocks to be encouraging due to the improved prospects for corporate earnings growth both domestically and worldwide. We believe that our disciplined focus on undervalued companies with solid earnings growth should continue to reward shareholders.
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
Since the inception of the Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund on December 20, 1999 through April 30, 2000, Class R Shares generated a total return of 17.31%,*** compared to a 2.8% return on the S&P 500,** over the same time period.
There are three primary reasons why the performance of the Growth Fund was relatively strong.
First, technology represents by far the largest sector in which we invest.+ Due to superior growth prospects, technology companies catapulted the markets higher and higher throughout late 1999 and early 2000. Despite recent volatility in this sector, we continue to believe that technology will drive worldwide economic growth and that the technology sector will offer compelling long-term investment opportunities for the foreseeable future.
Second, we focus on outstanding growth companies, leaders in their respective fields with exemplary growth records and impressive growth prospects--the types of companies that led the markets to new highs during the first quarter of 2000. Unfortunately, many of these high quality growth companies often trade at relatively high Price to Earnings ratios and are therefore especially vulnerable to valuation-based or interest rate-driven market corrections such as the one we experienced this spring. In our experience, however, stocks in outstanding growth companies tend to respond favorably when markets recover.
Third, we invest primarily for the long term. In our experience, virtually no one reliably and consistently anticipates short-term market moves. Instead, we prefer to focus on buying and holding companies we consider resilient enough to weather short-term market corrections. From time to time, of course, we do sell stocks, especially those with declining business fundamentals. And in some cases, we do hold certain stocks for a relatively short period of time, especially when business conditions change abruptly. In general, however, we endeavor to stay the course rather than move a large proportion of our holdings in or out of the market at the same time.
Over the last few months, market volatility has reached unprecedented levels. Not infrequently do major market indexes, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite, move up or down more than 100 points on any given trading day. As most of you know, the markets lately have moved more down than up, as many stocks have fallen 25% or more from their all-time highs.
Understandably, some investors may be unnerved by sudden steep market declines such as those we experienced in March and April. Unfortunately, we expect little relief from the recent high levels of volatility, especially since technology remains our largest single sector. The looming prospect of additional rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") may put more downward pressure on stock prices. As a result, we are adominishing investors to adopt cautious and modest expectations for investment returns over the next twelve months.
Nevertheless, we remain optimistic for the long term. Corporate earnings are shattering previous records. The U.S.and some of the world's other major economies continue to grow at impressive rates, driven by productivity gains fueled by unprecedented technological innovation. Although inflation and interest rates have been rising lately, the overall macroeconomic environment remains relatively favorable. Throughout these challenging times, we remain committed to implementing our growth-oriented investment strategy and discovering new investment opportunities.
Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund
Riggs Bond Fund
During the annual period from May 1, 1999 through April 30, 2000, the Fed tightened monetary policy three times, raising the Fed Funds target rate to 6.00% from 5.25%. Interest rates beyond ten years in maturity declined over 50 basis points during the first quarter of 2000 and the yield curve (2yr yields versus 30yr yields) inverted for the first time since 1994. Treasuries were the best performing sector, while mortgages (other than Government National Mortgage Associations) and corporate bonds were the worst performing sectors. The economy remains strong as evidenced by fourth quarter 1999 Gross Domestic Product registering a 7.3% real rate, substantially above the Fed's desired 3.5% level. Additionally, year-over-year nominal Consumer Price Index ("CPI") came in at 3.16% while core CPI (excluding food and energy) rose 2.11%. During the reporting period, the Riggs Bond and U.S. Government Securities Funds maintained durations slightly above their benchmarks.++
Going forward into 2000, inverted yield curves tend to forecast economic slowdowns. The Fed will most likely continue its gradual approach toward rate hikes until either the core rate of inflation rises above current levels or the economy/equity market shows signs of fatigue. Any sudden rise in the core rate of inflation would prompt aggressive Fed action in the form of a 50 basis point hike in rates. Meanwhile, a slowdown in the economy/equity prices would cause the Fed to stop tightening or perhaps reverse itself. Therefore, the portfolios will continue to overweight Treasuries and high-quality securities, since we believe that these sectors will continue to be the better performing sectors while the lower-quality credits will be the laggards.
Riggs Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund
Riggs Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund
Municipal bonds, like most other fixed income assets, saw positive rates of return during the annual period from May 1, 1999 through April 30, 2000. Mirroring the treasury market, the long end of the curve outperformed the front end. However, unlike the treasury market, the municipal curve did not invert. In addition, during the first quarter 2000, the market saw a dissipation of fund outflows experienced during the fourth quarter of 1999. This reduction in secondary market supply helped to create a firm bid for municipal bonds. In light of these market conditions, the Riggs Intermediate and Long-Term Tax Free Bond Funds maintained durations slightly above their perspective benchmarks.++ Presently, wider swap spreads, coupled with the volatility in the equity markets, should bode well for municipals and create opportunities later in 2000.
Riggs Prime Money Market Fund
Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
During the annual period from May 1, 1999 through April 30, 2000, the Fed tightened monetary policy three times, raising the federal funds rate to 6.00% from 5.25%. The market is anticipating additional rate increases going forward as the Fed attempts to slow the economy in an effort to keep inflation at bay. Whether they continue the gradual approach toward rate hikes or more aggressive action in the form of a 50 basis point hike in rates, will depend on the level of the core rate of inflation and the state of the economy as well as the equity markets. Fourth quarter GDP came in at a 7.3% real rate, substantially above the Fed's desired 3.5% level. This was followed by a 5.4% rate in the first quarter of 2000 signaling that the Fed may need to act more aggressively in its policy decisions.
Yields were higher during the reporting period with the exception of the 30-year Treasury bond which was actually down 19 basis points. The yield on the three-month Treasury bill rose 71 basis points while the yields on the 6 month and one-year bills rose 83 and 78 basis points, respectively. Yields on commercial paper, agency discount notes and corporate securities were also significantly higher. In early 2000, the yield curve (2-year Treasury yields versus 30 year Treasury yields) inverted for the first time since 1994 with the peak of the yield curve in the two-year sector.
The average maturity of Prime Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund was lower going into calendar year-end due to the uncertainty regarding Y2K and it's impact on the markets and liquidity. The average maturity has since been extended in order to take advantage of opportunities to pick-up additional yield as rates have gone higher, particularly in the short end of the market.

(1) 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).
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.
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 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.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing book/tax treatments of net operating loss and market discount amortization. The following reclassifications have been made to the financial statements.

Federal Taxes
It is the Fund' 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:

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 $5,122, $40,891, $8,142, $0, $7,344 and $98,661 for Stock Fund, Small Company Stock Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, Bond Fund, Prime Money Market Fund and U.S. Treas ury Money Market Fund, respec tively, 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 April 30, 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:

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.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the Riggs Funds--Class B Shares. The report covers the period from May 1, 1999 through April 30, 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 performance highlights of each fund are as follows:
Riggs Stock Fund
During the reporting period, the fund's diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks--which included many household names like Alcoa, AT&T, American Express, Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Exxon Mobil, Sears, Time Warner, and Xerox-produced a total return for Class B Shares of (1.35%), or (5.52%) adjusted for the maximum 5% redemption fee.* This return was the result of a $2.61 decline in net asset value and a $2.20 per share capital gains distribution. The fund's net assets totaled $159.3 million at the end of the reporting period.
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
As the most aggressive fund in the Riggs family, this fund invests in carefully selected stocks issued by small companies.** In an improved environment for small-company stocks, the fund's Class B Shares produced a total return of 16.24%, or 11.24% adjusted for the maximum 5% redemption fee.* The return was the result of an increase in net asset value of $1.82. At the end of the reporting period, fund assets totaled $90.4 million.
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
This new fund, which began operations on December 20, 1999, is managed to help investors pursue capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of the largest growth companies traded on U.S. stock markets. During the fund's initial period of operation, Class B Shares produced a total return of 17.00%, or 12.00% adjusted for the maximum 5% redemption fee, through an increase in net asset value of $1.70.* Assets in the fund totaled $103 million at the end of the reporting period.
Thank you for pursuing your financial goals through the diversification and professional management of the Riggs Funds. We'll continue to update you on the progress of your investment.
Sincerely,
[Graphic Representation Omitted--See Appendix]

** Small company stocks have historically experienced greater volatility than average.
INVESTMENT REVIEW
Riggs Stock Fund
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
For the reporting period ended April 30, 2000, the stock markets continued to advance. While technology stocks have dominated the best performance list, we are seeing nascent signs of a broadening of the market. Small capitalization stocks, as reflected by the Russell 2000 Index*, actually performed better than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500")** for the reporting period. Within the large capitalization universe, we are seeing improving returns in non-technology sectors. It is not clear whether there is a trend developing towards value; however, earnings confidence seems to be improving in the value universe. We have always believed that a sustainable move in any company's stock price is predicated on either an acceleration in earnings growth or a higher degree of confidence in the level of earnings.
For the period from May 1, 1999 through April 30, 2000, the Class B Shares of the Stock Fund had a total return of (1.35%), and the Class B Shares of the Small Company Fund generated a total return of 16.24%.*** Our investment philosophy in managing both equity funds is to balance long-term valuation with the catalyst of short-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 highly 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 confidence in management.
We maintain a broad diversification of stocks among industries. In the Stock Fund, the largest sector remains Technology, with Cisco Systems Inc., the largest stock in the sector and in the mutual fund.+ Management has done a superior job offering products and services geared toward the internet infrastructure. Apple Computer and EMC Corp. also significantly added to returns during the reporting period. While these were not recent purchases, we let our "winners run" during the reporting period so that our clients could benefit from the strong underlying fundamental trends in Technology; before profit taking. Energy, Retail and the Finance Sectors are overweighted relative to the market. Not only do we see attractive valuation; we also see a higher level of earnings confidence. Exxon Mobil Corporation, Circuit City, Merrill Lynch, and American Express are the major holdings in these sectors.
The Small Company Fund benefited from not only the recognition of the attractive valuations in the small cap universe, but also in the higher level of earnings growth. Over the course of the reporting period, we added to the Technology sector. While we are underweighted relative to the market, Technology is the largest sector in the Small Company Fund.+ Tech Data Corp. and LCC International Inc. were large contributors to performance in this sector during the reporting period. Energy, Consumer Cyclicals and Finance were the sectors that have an overweight relative to the market in the Small Company Fund. National Oilwell Inc., Atlantic Coast Airlines and Apartment Investment & Management Inc. are the major holdings in these sectors.
Despite higher interest rates, we believe the outlook for stocks to be encouraging due to the improved prospects for corporate earnings growth both domestically and worldwide. We believe that our disciplined focus on undervalued companies with solid earnings growth should continue to reward shareholders.
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
Since the inception of the Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund ("Growth Fund") on December 20, 1999 through April 30, 2000, Class B Shares generated a total return of 17.00%,*** compared to a 2.8% return on the S&P 500,** over the same time period.
There are three primary reasons why the performance of the Growth Fund was relatively strong.
First, technology represents by far the largest sector in which we invest.+ Due to superior growth prospects, technology companies catapulted the markets higher and higher throughout late 1999 and early 2000. Despite recent volatility in this sector, we continue to believe that technology will drive worldwide economic growth and that the technology sector will offer compelling long-term investment opportunities for the foreseeable future.
Second, we focus on outstanding growth companies, leaders in their respective fields with exemplary growth records and impressive growth prospects--the types of companies that led the markets to new highs during the first quarter of 2000. Unfortunately, many of these high quality growth companies often trade at relatively high Price to Earnings ratios and are therefore especially vulnerable to valuation-based or interest rate-driven market corrections such as the one we experienced this spring. In our experience, however, stocks in outstanding growth companies tend to respond favorably when markets recover.
Third, we invest primarily for the long term. In our experience, virtually no one reliably and consistently anticipates short-term market moves. Instead, we prefer to focus on buying and holding companies we consider resilient enough to weather short-term market corrections. From time to time, of course, we do sell stocks, especially those with declining business fundamentals. And in some cases, we do hold certain stocks for a relatively short period of time, especially when business conditions change abruptly. In general, however, we endeavor to stay the course rather than move a large proportion of our holdings in or out of the market at the same time.
Over the last few months, market volatility has reached unprecedented levels. Not infrequently do major market indexes, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite, move up or down more than 100 points on any given trading day. As most of you know, the markets lately have moved more down than up, as many stocks have fallen 25% or more from their all-time highs.
Understandably, some investors may be unnerved by sudden steep market declines such as those we experienced in March and April. Unfortunately, we expect little relief from the recent high levels of volatility, especially since technology remains our largest single sector. The looming prospect of additional rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board ( the "Fed") may put more downward pressure on stock prices. As a result, we are adominishing investors to adopt cautious and modest expectations for investment returns over the next twelve months.
Nevertheless, we remain optimistic for the long term. Corporate earnings are shattering previous records. The U.S. and some of the world's other major economies continue to grow at impressive rates, driven by productivity gains fueled by unprecedented technological innovation. Although inflation and interest rates have been rising lately, the overall macroeconomic environment remains relatively favorable. Throughout these challenging times, we remain committed to implementing our growth-oriented investment strategy and discovering new investment opportunities.

Riggs Funds
April 30, 2000
Organization
Riggs Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of nine diversified portfolios, three of which offer class B shares (individually referred to as the "Fund", or collectively as the "Funds"), which are presented herein:
Portfolio Name |
Investment Objective |
|
Riggs Stock Fund ("Stock Fund") |
Seeks to provide growth of capital and income. |
|
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund |
Seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. |
|
("Small Company Stock Fund") |
||
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund |
Seeks to provide capital appreciation. |
|
("Large Cap Growth Fund") |
The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The financial highlights for Class R Shares and Class Y Shares are presented in a separate annual report.
Effective December 17, 1999, the following Funds received a tax-free transfer of assets from a Common Trust Fund.

(1) Unrealized appreciation is included in the Common Trust Fund net assets received.
Effective December 20, 1999, Stock Fund and Small Company Stock Fund began offering Class Y Shares. Additionally, the Trust added four new portfolios to the Riggs Funds Family: Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund (Class R and Class B Shares), Riggs Bond Fund (Class R Shares), Riggs Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund (Class R Shares), and Riggs Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund (Class R Shares).
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
Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a primary national securities exchange. 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.
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 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.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing book/tax treatments of net operating loss. The following reclassifications have been made to the financial statements.

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.
Large Cap Growth Fund incurred net capital losses $1,422,223 on security transactions after October 31, 1999, which are treated as arising on May 1, 2000, the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
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 $5,122, and $40,891 for Stock Fund and Small Company Stock 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 April 30, 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:
Market Value of |
Payable on Collateral |
Reinvested |
||||
Fund |
Securities Loaned |
Due to Broker |
Collateral Securities |
|||
Stock Fund |
$1,290,255 |
$1,305,300 |
$1,305,300 |
|||
Small Company Stock Fund |
$6,502,363 |
$6,641,370 |
$6,641,370 |
Cash collateral is 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.
Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in shares were as follows:

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
RIGGS FUNDS:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Riggs Stock Fund, Riggs Small Company Stock Fund and Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund (investment portfolios of Riggs Funds, a Massachusetts business trust), including the schedules of portfolios of investments, as of April 30, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. As to securities purchased but not received, we requested confirmation from brokers, and, when replies were not received, we carried out alternative auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Riggs Stock Fund, Riggs Small Company Stock Fund and Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund (investment portfolios of Riggs Funds) as of April 30, 2000, the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
