TO SHAREHOLDERS

SECOND FIDUCIARY EXCHANGE FUND HAD A TOTAL RETURN OF 17.9 PERCENT DURING THE SIX
MONTHS THAT ENDED JUNE 30, 1995. That return represented a rise in net asset
value per share to $146.94 from $125.59, and the reinvestment of $1.05 per share
in income dividends. By comparison, the S&P 500, an unmanaged index of common
stocks, had a return of 20.1 percent during the same period.

SECOND FIDUCIARY EXCHANGE FUND HAD A TOTAL RETURN OF 17.9 PERCENT DURING THE SIX
MONTHS THAT ENDED JUNE 30, 1995.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE STOCK MARKET PERFORMED VERY WELL DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 1995. The market's
behavior was a positive response to the improving interest rate environment and
the prospects for continuing economic growth with limited inflation. Many major
corporations are seeing sharply escalating profits, reflecting not only the
generally favorable economy but also the substantial cost reduction and
productivity initiatives they have undertaken in recent years.

THE MARKET WAS LED IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1995 BY STOCKS IN THE TECHNOLOGY
SECTOR. Intel Corp., which is the Fund's largest holding, was a standout
performer even among technology stocks, with a price gain of nearly 50 percent.
International Business Machines was up 23 percent, while Digital Equipment Corp.
gained 18 percent. These stocks continue to benefit from the extremely strong
global demand for semiconductor and computer-based products for an ever-widening
array of applications.

HEALTHCARE STOCKS ALSO WERE MARKET LEADERS AND, CORRESPONDINGLY, SOME OF THE
FUND'S HEALTHCARE HOLDINGS PERFORMED STRONGLY. Baxter International Inc.
posted gains of 22.3 percent while Merck & Co., Inc. was up 22.4 percent. The
Fund's heavy weighting in the business products and services sector helped
its performance during this six-month period. DeLuxe Corp. was up 20.4 percent
and Sealed Air Corp. rose 17.4 percent.

OTHER NOTEWORTHY CONTRIBUTORS AMONG THE FUND'S TOP HOLDINGS INCLUDED PEPSICO,
INC., WHICH WAS UP 20.3 PERCENT. DuPont (E.I.) de Nemours & Co., Inc. posted a
gain of 18.4 percent while Schlumberger LTD. gained nearly 19 percent during the
six-month period. As evidenced by the Fund's total return of nearly 18 percent,
this has been a favorable environment for well-established international growth
companies that make up much of the Fund's portfolio. However, past performance
does not guarantee future returns.

LOOKING FORWARD, THE KEY ISSUES FACING THE FUND ARE STOCK MARKET VALUATION
LEVELS AND THE SLOWING OF ECONOMIC GROWTH. The recent action by the Federal
Reserve to reduce short-term interest rates increases the likelihood of a "soft
landing" for the U.S. economy.

PORTFOLIO OF HIGH-QUALITY COMMON STOCKS IS LIKELY TO DELIVER SOUND PERFORMANCE."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NO MATTER HOW ECONOMIC CONDITIONS MAY CHANGE, WE REMAIN CONVINCED THAT OVER THE
LONG TERM, INVESTING IN A SELECTED PORTFOLIO OF HIGH-QUALITY COMMON STOCKS IS
LIKELY TO DELIVER SOUND PERFORMANCE. That remains the strategy of Second
Fiduciary Exchange Fund, and we are confident the Fund will continue to
participate in the economy's ongoing growth.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund
in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

A. INVESTMENT VALUATIONS -- Investments listed on security exchanges or in the
NASDAQ National Market are valued at closing sale prices. Listed or unlisted
investments for which closing sale prices are not available are valued at
closing bid prices. Short-term obligations, maturing in 60 days or less, are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

B. FEDERAL TAXES -- The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and to
distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable income from dividends,
interest and net realized short-term capital gain. Accordingly, no provision
for federal income or excise tax is necessary on such income. The Fund
generally designates as undistributed any taxable net realized long-term gain
(but reserves the right to distribute such gain in any year) and pays the
federal tax thereon on behalf of shareholders. Provision for such tax is
recorded on the Fund's records on the last business day of the Fund's fiscal
year because the Internal Revenue Code provides that such tax is allocated
among shareholders of record on that date.

C. OTHER -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Dividend income and dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.

D. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Generally accepted accounting principles require that
differences in the recognition or classification of income between the
financial statements and tax earnings and profits which result in temporary
over-distributions for financial statement purposes, are classified as
distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized
gains.

E. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- The interim financial statements relating
to June 30, 1995 and for the six-month period then ended have not been audited
by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Fund's
management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) CAPITAL STOCK
At June 30, 1995, there were 3,640,001 shares of $1.00 par value capital stock
authorized. Transactions in capital stock were as follows:

(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations,
aggregated $2,870,850 and $4,412,680, respectively. In addition, investments
having an aggregate market value of $1,278,410 at dates of redemption were
distributed in payment for capital stock redeemed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER
    TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The investment adviser fee, computed at the monthly rate of  5/96 of 1% (5/8
of 1% annually) of the Fund's average monthly net assets, was paid to Eaton
Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for management and investment advisory
services rendered to the Fund. Except as to directors of the Fund who are not
members of EVM's organization, officers and directors receive remuneration for
their services to the Fund out of such investment adviser fee. The custodian
fee was paid to Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM, for
its services as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement,
IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the
average daily cash balances the Fund maintains with IBT. Certain of the
officers and directors of the Fund are officers and directors/trustees of the
above organizations. Directors of the Fund that are not affiliated with the
Investment Adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their
annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation
Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, no significant amounts have been
deferred.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund participates with other funds managed by EVM in a $120 million
unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank. The line of credit consists of
a $20 million committed facility and a $100 million discretionary facility.
Borrowings will be made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of
unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged
to each fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the bank's
adjusted certificate of deposit rate, a variable adjusted certificate of
deposit rate, or a federal funds effective rate. In addition, a fee computed
at an annual rate of  1/4 of 1% on the $20 million committed facility and on
the daily unused portion of the $100 million discretionary facility is
allocated among the participating funds at the end of each quarter. The Fund
did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the period.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENTS

owned at June 30, 1995, as computed on a federal income tax basis, are as
