     +    MID CAP SHAREHOLDERS HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY REWARDED THIS YEAR AS THE
          FUND AND MID CAP EQUITIES IN GENERAL HAVE OUT-PERFORMED MOST OTHER
          INVESTMENT CATEGORIES. As the equity market performance continues to
          broaden and include Mid and Small Company Shares, we are hopeful that
          this trend will continue.

     +    MID CAP INVESTING: THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS - In our view, an
          investment in a mid cap stock portfolio combines the liquidity
          characteristics of a large cap portfolio with the high-growth rates of
          a smaller company.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

     All of the PIC Mutual Funds produced positive results for the six months
ending April 30, 1999 (more detailed information is available on the following
pages). The Growth Fund led the way due to its concentration in larger holdings.
The Small Company Fund made a strong recovery from the lows last September and
October only to lose ground again during the early part of this year.

     The fundamentals of our small company holdings remained very compelling and
we were pleased to see some positive performance in May and June. Shares of the
Mid Cap Fund have enjoyed very positive returns thus far in 1999 as the market
has broadened from favoring only the largest issues.

     Due to April's disappointing results, there was some media discussion about
a rotation by investors out of high quality growth shares into "cheaper"
cyclical company shares. We believe this move is only temporary, precipitated by
several factors, including surprising economic growth and better than expected
profit growth by many cyclical issues.

     It is our view that the consumer-driven U.S. economy is enjoying robust
growth with pleasantly strong first quarter earnings. However, on closer review,
we find that many of the earnings growth expectations had been downgraded by
savvy corporate management teams of cyclical issues and that overly optimistic
future earnings may not be attainable. While cyclical stocks might fare well for
several months, it is ill-conceived to believe that a sea change has taken place
with value/cyclical stocks outperforming for a protracted period of time.

     During May and in early June, we have been pleased to see growth shares
holding their own once again and Small Company shares in particular, performing
quite well. The market-broadening theme continues, allowing some lagging issues
to catch up, providing a firm and broad base for the market, which should
benefit all investors. We fully expect to see growth stocks once again
outperform as Y2K worries and continued slower

                                                                               3

Q    April proved to be a very cruel month to investors owning high-quality,
     large cap growth stocks. Investors abandoned these companies in a seemingly
     irrational rush to buy "cheaper" cyclical stocks. To what do you attribute
     this shift?

A    As stated in our letter to shareholders there are a few themes that have
     driven what we believe is a temporary shift toward cyclical issues such as:

     1) A strong consumer-driven economy with better than expected growth
     domestically, coupled with surprising growth internationally. However, we
     continue to see evidence of recession in many countries outside the U.S.,
     including Japan and possibly Germany in the near future.

     2) Better than expected profit growth domestically by many cyclical issues
     driven by savvy management teams that successfully lowered Wall Street
     expectations for their earnings. Many of these cyclical issues were coming
     off a very disappointing 1998 that made year over year comparisons very
     easy to beat.

     3) During the fall of 1998, the "flight to quality" may have caused the
     valuations of Provident Growth and Balanced Fund equity holdings to be
     momentarily over-extended. In light of this, it is understandably a needed
     step for our stocks to pause and catch their breath, acclimating to the
     strong move they have made.

Q    During the difficult month of April, one of the bright spots was the
     apparent shift in leadership as Small Company stocks outperformed those of
     larger issues. What factors caused this change?

A    This performance leadership actually continued in May--the second month in
     a row where small cap stocks outperformed large cap equities. We are also
     pleased to report it was a month where your Fund also did well. One has to
     go back several years to find a similar time when small stocks have
     outperformed large

                                                                               5

INTERVIEW WITH PROVIDENT MANAGERS, continued

     cap stocks in successive months. While mindful that "one Robin doesn't make
     it Spring," it certainly is encouraging. We have made several adjustments
     to the portfolio since the February/March period and have now seen the
     beneficial impact on the returns.

     The shift favoring small cap stocks is in keeping with our expectations. As
     investors become more confident about a more rapid growth scenario for the
     economy, they are willing to take on added risk. As the Year 2000
     approaches, savvy investors focus on the new economy--defined as an era
     when communications technology creates global competition and people work
     with their brains instead of their hands. This trend towards technology
     instead of industrial stocks is clearly showing up in the flow of funds
     data, where mutual fund investors are starting to put new money into small
     cap funds, which favor technology stocks.

Q    To what do you attribute the recent good performance by the Small Company
     and Mid Cap Fund?

A    We believe there are several factors that caused this positive performance.
     In the month of May, for example, the Fund's performance can be attributed
     to both strong stock selection and sector allocation in the health services
     area, electronic technology, and consumer services. Performance clearly
     broadened out to include quality small companies that demonstrated positive
     earnings, as opposed to the narrow "Internet only" performance in the first
     quarter.

Q    During the latter part of May, the markets in general have been rather
     choppy, without clear direction. What caused this recent volatility?

A    If one is looking for a reason for the recent market weakness, one needs to
     look at the Federal Reserve's action on May 18, signaling to investors
     their bias towards a tighter monetary

     policy in the future. This followed the release of a higher than expected
     CPI number for the month of April. Long-term interest rates, which had
     risen to close to 6% prior to the Fed's announcement, quickly rallied to
     the 5.75% area, only to weaken again last week to a 5.86% level. This
     upward bias has caused investor concern about valuations of the general
     stock market, should interest rates continue to rise and cross the
     psychologically important 6% level. Another exacerbating factor has been
     that, for the first time this year, investors are starting to question the
     high valuations afforded to Internet stocks. Many of these high-flying
     stocks are off over 50% from their April highs. This uncertainty has
     spilled over into the general technology sector. As in April,
     Pharmaceutical stocks continued to be weak, although rallying sharply on
     the last day of the trading month.

     More recently, in the middle of June as we write this commentary, we have
     seen positive news with regard to inflationary pressures. As an example,
     recently released Consumer Price Index numbers were at lower than expected
     levels, easing investors' worst fears of a larger increase in interest
     rates by the Federal Reserve.

Q    What is your outlook for the markets in general for the remainder of the
     year?

A    The shift favoring cyclical stocks has slowed in recent weeks. Our analysis
     of reported earnings shows that the rates of change in revenue and earnings
     growth of some now high-flying cyclical stocks are still quite weak over
     several quarters. These factors question the sustainability of their recent
     price appreciation. This was evident during the last week of May when
     numerous cyclical stocks were quite weak. To illustrate, Alcoa was down
     8.3%; Caterpillar was off 8.0%; International Paper was down 9.0%.

     As mentioned earlier, we made a few recent changes to the portfolio, which
     we believe will be rewarding in the near future, particularly if the
     economy continues to stay stronger than we

                                                                               7

     had expected at the beginning of the year. We have added Waste Management
     to the portfolio along with Schlumberger. We have continued to trim our
     exposure to health technology and have reduced our exposure to the finance
     sector by selling our holding of Fannie Mae. Should interest rates stay
     firm or rise from these levels, then selected financial stocks will most
     likely under-perform the general market.

     While we cannot predict future results, if the first part of June is any
     indicator, we may expect a continued improvement in performance, and as the
     market broadens out, the Funds with their well balanced portfolios may do
     very well from a relative performance perspective.

================================================================================
1 - ORGANIZATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      PIC Investment Trust (the "Trust") was organized on December 11, 1991 as a
Delaware  business  trust,  with an  unlimited  number of  shares of  beneficial
interest of $.01 par value, and is registered  under the Investment  Company Act
of 1940 (the  "1940  Act") as an  open-end,  diversified  management  investment
company. The Trust currently offers eleven separate series: Provident Investment
Counsel Balanced Fund A (formerly known as Provident Investment Counsel Pinnacle
Balanced  Fund),   Provident  Investment  Counsel  Balanced  Fund  B,  Provident
Investment Counsel Growth Fund I (formerly known as Provident Investment Counsel
Growth Fund),  Provident  Investment  Counsel  Growth Fund A (formerly  known as
Provident Investment Counsel Pinnacle Growth Fund), Provident Investment Counsel
Growth  Fund  B,  Provident  Investment  Counsel  Small  Company  Growth  Fund I
(formerly  known as Provident  Investment  Counsel  Small  Company  Growth Fund)
Provident  Investment  Counsel  Small Company  Growth Fund A (formerly  known as
Provident  Investment  Counsel  Pinnacle Small Company  Growth Fund),  Provident
Investment  Counsel Small Company  Growth Fund B, Provident  Investment  Counsel
Small Cap Growth Fund I (formerly  known as Provident  Investment  Counsel Small
Cap Growth Fund), Provident Investment Counsel Mid Cap Fund A (formerly known as
Provident  Investment  Counsel Pinnacle Mid Cap Fund), and Provident  Investment
Counsel Mid Cap Fund B (each a "Fund" and  collectively  the "Funds")  (prior to
June 1998, the Provident  Investment Counsel Funds were known as the PIC Funds).
The Funds invest substantially all of their assets in the respective Portfolios,
a separate registered  management  investment company having the same investment
objective as the Funds. The financial  statements of the Portfolios are included
elsewhere  in this  report  and  should be read in  conjunction  with the Funds'
financial  statements.  The financial  statements  of the  Provident  Investment
Counsel Growth Fund I, Provident Investment Counsel Small Company Growth Fund I,
and  Provident  Investment  Counsel  Small  Cap  Growth  Fund I are in  separate
reports.

2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds.  These policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                                                                              23

Provident Investment Counsel       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,
        Mutual Funds               continued
- ----------------------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     A.   INVESTMENT  VALUATION.  The Funds  reflect  their  investments  in the
          Portfolio  at  their  proportionate  interest  in  the  value  of  the
          Portfolio's  net assets.  Valuation of  securities by the Portfolio is
          discussed in Note 2A of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements.


     B.   INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND  DIVIDENDS  TO  SHAREHOLDERS.  The Funds  earn
          income,  net  of  the  expenses  of  the  Portfolio,  daily  on  their
          investments in the Portfolio.  All net investment  income and realized
          and  unrealized  gains or losses on  investments  of the Portfolio are
          allocated  pro-rata among the Funds and the other Holders of Interests
          in the Portfolio. Dividends, if any, are paid annually to shareholders
          of the Funds and recorded on the ex-dividend date.


      C.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Funds intend to comply with the requirements
          of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  applicable  to  regulated  investment
          companies  and to  distribute  all of their  taxable  income  to their
          shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.


      D.  ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.  In preparing financial statements in conformity
          with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,   management  makes
          estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets
          and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements,  as well as
          the  reported  amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the period.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The  Trust has  entered  into  administration  agreements  with  Provident
Investment  Counsel,  Inc.  ("PIC") and Investment  Company  Administration  LLC
("ICA"),  pursuant to which agreements certain employees of these entities serve
as officers  and/or  trustees of the Trust and the  Portfolio.  PIC and ICA also
provide  management  services  necessary for the operations of the Trust and the
Portfolio and furnish office facilities.  PIC receives a fee for its services to
the Funds at the rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Funds.


      PIC has voluntarily  taken to limit the Funds'  expenses,  including those
expenses allocated from the Portfolios, to the following levels:

its shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of ICA. The Distributor  received no
commissions  from sales or  redemptions  of fund shares  during the period ended
April 30, 1999.

     On December 19, 1995, the Trust approved a Deferred  Compensation  Plan for
Trustees (the "Plan").  Trustees are entitled to receive  $2,500 per quarter and
$500 per meeting  attended,  which is  allocated  among the Funds.  Trustees can
elect to receive payment in cash or defer payments  provided for in the Plan. If
a trustee  elects to defer  payment,  the Plan  provides  for the  creation of a
deferred payment account (phantom share account).  This account  accumulates the
deferred fees earned and the value of the account is adjusted at the end of each
quarter to reflect a value  which would have been earned if the account had been
invested in  designated  investments.  The Funds  recognize  as trustee  expense
amounts  accrued as meetings  are  attended  plus the change in the value of the
phantom share account determined on a quarterly basis.

4 - DISTRIBUTION PLAN
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The  Trust,  on behalf  of the  Balanced  A,  Growth A, Mid Cap A and Small
Company Growth A Funds,  has approved a Distribution  Plan (the "12b-1 Plan") in
accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The 12b-1 Plan provides that each
Fund will pay a fee to PIC (as the  distribution  coordinator) at an annual rate
of up to 0.25% of each A Fund's  average daily net assets as  reimbursement  for
expenses  incurred  on  distribution  related  activities.  With  respect to the
Balanced A and Mid Cap A Funds,  reimbursable  amounts in excess of the  maximum
may be reimbursed in subsequent years,  subject to the continuation of the Plan.
There were no unreimbursed expenses as of April 30, 1999.

     Additionally,  the Trust,  on behalf of the Balanced B, Growth B, Mid Cap B
and Small Company Growth B Funds,  has approved a Distribution  Plan (the "12b-1
Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The 12b-1 Plan provides
for the payment of a distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of each B
Fund's average daily net assets and a service fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of
each B Fund's average daily net assets.

     Pursuant to a Shareholder  Services  Plan,  effective June 30, 1998 (except
with respect to the Mid Cap Fund A for which the  effective  date was  September

30, 1998), each A Fund pays the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.15%
of each Fund's  average  daily net assets as  compensation  for the provision of
shareholder services.

     Additionally,  pursuant to a Shareholder Services Plan, effective March 31,
1999,  each B Fund pays the  Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of
each  Fund's  average  daily net assets as  compensation  for the  provision  of
shareholder services.

PORTFOLIOS
================================================================================
1 - ORGANIZATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     PIC Balanced and Growth Portfolios were organized on December 11, 1991, the
PIC Mid Cap  Portfolio  was  organized on December  31, 1997,  and PIC Small Cap
Portfolio was  organized on March 22, 1993 as separate  trusts under the laws of
the State of New York (each a "Portfolio" and  collectively  the  "Portfolios").
The beneficial  interests in each Portfolio are divided into an unlimited number
of  non-transferable   interests,  par  value  $.01  each.  The  Portfolios  are
registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 as open-end,  diversified
management investment companies.

2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The following is a summary of significant  accounting policies consistently
followed by the  Portfolios.  These  policies are in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

     A.   VALUATION  OF  SECURITIES.  Equity  securities  listed  on a  national
          securities exchange or traded on the NASDAQ system are valued at their
          last sale price. Other equity securities and debt securities for which
          market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between
          their bid and asked price, except that debt securities maturing within
          60 days are valued on an amortized  cost basis.  Securities  for which
          market  quotations are not readily  available are valued at fair value
          as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.

     B.   FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES.  Each  Portfolio  intends  to comply  with the
          requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to it. Therefore,
          no federal income tax provision is required.

     C.   DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS.  Organization costs of the Portfolios are
          being  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis  over a  period  of sixty
          months. During the amortization period, the proceeds of any redemption
          of the original Interests in a Portfolio by any Holder thereof will be
          reduced by a pro-rata  portion  of any then  unamortized  organization
          costs based on the ratio of  Interests  redeemed to the total  initial
          Interests outstanding prior to the redemption.


     D.   OTHER.  Securities  transactions are recorded on the trade date basis.
          Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are reported on

          an  identified  cost basis.  Interest  is  recorded  as  accrued,  and
          dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     E.   Accounting Estimates.  In preparing financial statements in conformity
          with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,   management  makes
          estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets
          and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements,  as well as
          the  reported  amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the period.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Each  Portfolio  has entered into an  investment  advisory  agreement  with
Provident Investment Counsel, Inc. ("PIC") and an administration  agreement with
Investment  Company  Administration  LLC ("ICA"),  pursuant to which  agreements
certain  employees of these  entities serve as officers  and/or  trustees of the
Portfolios.  PIC and ICA also  provide  management  services  necessary  for the
operations of the Portfolios and furnish office facilities.

     PIC receives  from  Balanced  Portfolio an  investment  advisory fee at the
annual rate of 0.60% of its average net assets, 0.80% from the Growth Portfolio,
0.70% from the Mid Cap  Portfolio,  and 0.80% from the Small Cap  Portfolio.  In
addition,  PIC has  voluntarily  taken to limit  the  expenses  of the  Balanced
Portfolio  to 0.80% of its average net assets,  1.00% for the Growth  Portfolio,
0.90% for the Mid Cap Portfolio, and 1.00% for the Small Cap Portfolio.

     Fees waived by PIC for the six months ended April 30, 1999 were as follows:

                                     Waived Fees         Reimbursed Expenses
                                     -----------         -------------------
       Balanced Portfolio               $40,811                 $0
       Growth Portfolio                   3,915                  0
       Mid Cap Portfolio                 25,048             47,549
       Small Cap Portfolio                3,064                  0

     ICA  receives  for its  services a fee at the  annual  rate of 0.10% of the
average  daily net  assets of each  Portfolio  subject  to an annual  minimum of
$45,000 (except for Balanced  Portfolio which has no minimum).  Fees paid to ICA
for the six months ended April 30, 1999 are stated on the respective Portfolios'
Statement of Operations.

                                                                              65

PORTFOLIOS
================================================================================
     On December 19, 1995, each Portfolio approved a Deferred  Compensation Plan
for Trustees (the "Plan").  Trustees are entitled to receive  $2,500 per quarter
and $500 per meeting attended, which is allocated among the Portfolios. Trustees
can elect to receive payment in cash or defer payments provided for in the Plan.
If a Trustee  elects to defer  payment,  the Plan provides for the creation of a
deferred payment account (phantom share account).  This account  accumulates the
deferred fees earned and the value of the account is adjusted at the end of each
quarter to reflect a value  which would have been earned if the account had been
invested in designated investments.  The Portfolios recognize as trustee expense
amounts  accrued as meetings  are  attended  plus the change in the value of the
phantom share account determined on a quarterly basis.

4 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The aggregate  purchases and sales of  investment  securities,  other than
short-term obligations, for the six months ended April 30, 1999 were as follows:
