BT INVESTMENT MONEY MARKET FUND
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The money markets were dominated virtually throughout the twelve months ended
December 31, 1996 by extreme volatility in short-term interest rates. By
staying disciplined to the purchase of high quality instruments and actively
adjusting maturities as market conditions changed, the manager of the BT
Investment Money Market Fund ("the Fund") was able to produce competitive
yields. In fact, the Fund's annualized 7-day effective yield of 5.32% as of
December 31, 1996 was notably higher than the 4.93% effective yield of the IBC
First Tier Money Funds average.*
MARKET ACTIVITY
The Federal Reserve Board acted only once in 1996, cutting the Federal Funds
rate from 5.50% to 5.25% in January, in response to a weaker economy. The
markets expected a near-term recession to drive interest rates even lower.
However, once February economic data indicated stronger than anticipated growth,
most notably through very strong non-farm payroll numbers, market sentiment
changed completely and quickly, and interest rates rose sharply. The economy
remained strong through July, leading market participants, in general, to fear
that the Fed would raise interest rates officially.
INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS
Bank obligations, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury obligations and
repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations.
Instead, the Federal Reserve Board held monetary policy neutral for the rest of
1996. Rates continued to fluctuate, rising on positive economic news and
dipping on the news that the Fed remained on the sidelines each time they met.
Nevertheless, in contrast to the effects of dramatic increases in interest rates
during the first half of the year, moderate economic activity in the second half
proved much more favorable for the financial markets.
OBJECTIVE
Seeks high current income consistent with liquidity and preservation of
capital.
Growth slowed in the third quarter, and inflation data continued to display an
absence of any real pressure. Much of the slowdown appeared in the consumer
sector, even though employment gains remained strong. Total real GDP growth
tapered from an unsustainable 4.7% increase in the second quarter to 2.1% in the
third.
There was no deterioration of economic growth in the final three months of the
year. Consumer spending perked up in response to a high degree of confidence
and a still-favorable job market, and business investment continued to expand
rapidly. These conditions, along with status quo results of the November
elections, proved favorable for the money markets, as short-term interest rates
remained steady while longer-term rates drifted lower.
RATINGS
S&P: AAAm
Moody's: AAA
INVESTMENT REVIEW
In contrast to the short to neutral maturity strategy held for most of the first
half of the year, we began extending the Fund's average maturity in the third
quarter. Although we believed that the next move in interest rates would be
higher, we also anticipated that the Federal Reserve Board would want a clearer
picture of higher inflation and increased economic activity before making an
official move. Thus, as general market expectations of higher rates led to a
steeper short-term yield curve, we were able to extend the Fund's average
maturity position with very little risk.
This strategy proved to be quite effective in adding value to the Fund through
the remainder of the year, and we expect to maintain the current investment
strategy until inflation pressures begin to surface.
MANAGER OUTLOOK
We expect continued slow to moderate economic growth and modest inflation in the
months to come. Given that, we believe that the Federal Reserve Board will
remain on hold for the near future, with the money markets trading in a narrow
range. Stronger-than-expected economic news may cause some volatility ahead,
however any dips in the market may be opportunities to extend the Fund's average
maturity out along the yield curve and lock in some higher rates. Overall, we
will remain opportunistic, buying when valuations are attractive, and waiting
for the market to take a more definite direction.
STATUS AT DECEMBER 31, 1996
Seven day effective yield: 5.32%
Average maturity: 36 days
Net Assets: $416 million

We will, of course, continue to closely observe economic conditions and how they

consistent with liquidity and capital preservation.

Fund, and we look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs for many
years ahead.

BT INVESTMENT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. ORGANIZATION
BT Pyramid Mutual Funds ("the Trust") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 ("the Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Trust was organized on February 28, 1992, as an unincorporated
business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The BT
Investment Money Market Fund (the "Fund") is one of the investment funds offered
to investors by the Trust. The Fund commenced operations and began offering
shares of beneficial interest on July 15, 1992. The Fund invests substantially
all of its assets in the Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The
Portfolio is an open-end management investment company registered under the Act.
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its
investable assets in the Portfolio. The value of such investment in the
Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the
Portfolio. At December 31, 1996, the Fund's investment was approximately 13% of
the Portfolio.
The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Schedule of Portfolio
Investments, are contained elsewhere in this report.
B. INVESTMENT INCOME
The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investment in the
Portfolio. All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains
and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro
rata among the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.
C. DIVIDENDS
It is the Fund's policy to declare dividends daily and pay monthly to
shareholders from net investment income. Dividends payable to shareholders are
recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net realized
short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, earned by the Fund will be made
annually.
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code and distribute its income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required.
E. OTHER
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of the
Fund. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to that Fund, while
expenses which are attributable to all of the Trust's funds are allocated among
them.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.
NOTE 2--FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund has entered into an Administration and Services Agreement with Bankers
Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). Under this Administration and Services
Agreement, Bankers Trust provides administrative, custody, transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Fund in return for a fee computed daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate of 0.30 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
For the year ended December 31,1996, this fee aggregated $1,648,203.
On September 30, 1996, the Trust entered into a Distribution Agreement with
Edgewood Services, Inc. ("Edgewood"). Prior to September 30, Signature
Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature") was the Trust's distributor. Under
the Distribution Agreement with the Trust, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940
Act, Edgewood, and previously Signature, may seek reimbursement at an annual
rate not exceeding 0.20 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets, for
expenses incurred in connection with any activities primarily intended to result
in the sale of the Fund's shares. For the year ended December 31, 1996, there
were no reimbursable expenses incurred under this agreement.
Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Fund, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.17 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund, excluding expenses of the Portfolio and
0.35 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, including expenses of
the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 1996, expenses of the Fund have
been reduced by $782,979.
The Fund is subject to such limitations as may from time to time be imposed by
the Blue Sky laws of states in which the Fund sells its shares. Currently, the
most restrictive jurisdiction imposed expense limitation is 2.5% of the first
$30,000,000 of the average daily net assets, 2.0% of the next $70,000,000 and
1.5% of any excess over $100,000,000.
In 1996, Bankers Trust contributed capital in the amount of $562,004 to
reimburse the Fund for long term capital losses incurred in prior years.
Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or
employees of Edgewood and Signature. None of the trustees so affiliated received
compensation for services as trustees of the Fund. Similarly, none of the Fund's
officers received compensation from the Fund.
NOTE 3--CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
At December 31, 1996, accumulated net realized capital loss carryforward
available as a reduction against future net realized capital gains aggregated
$357,346, which will expire in 2002.

CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. ORGANIZATION
The Cash Management Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act"), as amended, as an open-end
management investment company. The Portfolio was organized on March 26, 1990, as
an unincorporated trust under the laws of New York, and commenced operations on
July 23, 1990. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the
"Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.
B. SECURITY VALUATION
Investments are valued at amortized cost, which has been determined by the
Trustees to represent fair value of the Portfolio's investments.
C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST INCOME
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and
discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions
are recorded on the identified cost basis.
D. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
deemed to be creditworthy by the Portfolio's Investment Adviser, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon
price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with
the Portfolio's custodian, and pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement
must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase
price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying
securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest,
the Portfolio will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the
next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the
seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Portfolio maintains the right
to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting
loss against the seller. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the
seller, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.
All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the
investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.
E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
F. OTHER
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.
NOTE 2--FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFITIATES
The Portfolio has entered into an Administration and Services Agreement with
Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). Under this Administration and Services
Agreement, Bankers Trust provides administrative, custody, transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Portfolio in return for a fee computed daily and
paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05 of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. For the year ended December 31, 1996, this fee aggregated
$1,645,096.
The Portfolio has entered into an Advisory Agreement with Bankers Trust. Under
this Advisory Agreement, the Portfolio pays Bankers Trust an advisory fee
computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15 of 1% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31,1996, this
fee aggregated $4,935,288.
Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.18 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 1996,
expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $761,230.
In 1996, Bankers Trust contributed capital in the amount of $1,113,488 to
reimburse the Cash Management Portfolio from long term capital losses incurred
in prior years.
On September 30, 1996, the Trust entered into a Distribution Agreement with
Edgewood Services, Inc. ("Edgewood"). Prior to September 30, Signature
Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature") was the Trust's distributor.
Certain trustees and officers of the Portfolio are also directors, officers
and/or employees of Edgewood and Signature. None of the trustees so affiliated
received compensation for services as trustees of the Portfolio. Similarly, none
of the Portfolio s officers received compensation from the Portfolio.

CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of the Cash Management
Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of portfolio investments, of the Cash Management Portfolio as of
December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in
the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Portfolio's 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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
December 31, 1996, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Cash Management Portfolio as of December 31, 1996, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the
periods referred to above, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
