BT Investment Equity 500 Index Fund
Letter to Shareholders
The BT Investment Equity 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") returned 33.02% for the 12
months ended December 31, 1997, tracking the 33.36% return of the S&P 500 Index*
and slightly outperforming the 32.65% return of the Lipper S&P 500 Average.**
From its inception on December 31, 1992 through December 31, 1997, the Fund is
up 148.25% cumulatively and has a 19.95% average annualized total return for the
same period.#
It is also well worth noting that the Fund has earned a four-star rating from
Morningstar based on its overall performance as of December 31, 1997 out of
2,332 domestic equity funds.##
MARKET ACTIVITY
Large capitalization equities had quite a year. Having broken the 7,000 barrier
in February 1997, it took only five months for the Dow Jones Industrial Average
to reach the 8,000 milestone in the middle of July. The S&P 500 Index also
reached record high levels. However, as anticipated, short-term volatility
plagued the bull market for equities virtually throughout.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective
Seeks to match the performance of the stock market, as represented by the S&P
500 Index, before expenses.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For example, the S&P 500 Index started the year with its strongest January
performance since 1989. The large capitalization sector then eased off by March,
primarily as a result of the Federal Reserve Board's hike of the Fed Funds rate
that month. As technology stocks picked up mid-year, the large cap sector as a
whole recovered in September and finished the third quarter better than
anticipated. Then, on October 27, the Dow Jones experienced its largest single
one-day point loss ever, and the S&P 500 dropped dramatically as well. Though
weakened currencies and economies in Southeast Asia and market volatility in the
Far East led to the plummet here, there was little evidence of any meaningful
impact of the ongoing turmoil abroad impacting domestic activity. Thus the very
next day, the Dow Jones experienced its largest one-day point gain ever, and the
S&P 500 regained more than two-thirds of the previous day's drop. The remainder
of the fourth quarter of the year was marked by continued strength in financial
stocks and renewed strength in utilities. A favorable economy--supported by
slowed growth, low unemployment, low inflation, higher corporate earnings, and a
Federal Reserve Board on hold through the remainder of 1997--served as the
backdrop to this short-term volatility, yet strong overall performance.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Instruments
Primarily equity securities, consisting of common stock of current S&P 500
companies.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the annual period, large capitalization stocks outperformed small cap
stocks, though small cap stocks outperformed for the six months from March
through September 1997, due to a resurgence in technology stocks. In contrast to
both 1996 and the first half of 1997, value stocks outperformed growth stocks
within the large cap sector for the 12-month period. Value also outperformed
growth within the small cap sector. Overall, leading groups for the year
included financial services, health care and consumer staples. The weakest
performing sectors were energy, technology and basic materials, the first two of
which still produced double-digit returns. There were 29 changes to the S&P 500
Index this year, which is lower turnover than in 1996.

MANAGER OUTLOOK
Overall, real economic growth is anticipated to cool from its earlier rapid
pace, coming in at about 2% for all of 1998, and the environment is expected to
be positive for the equities market. Given the previous three solidly upward
years, however, the prospect for gains in the stock market for 1998 appear to be
limited. Volatility will likely continue to be high.
On the one hand, the current high valuations and ongoing concerns about fallout
from the Far East suggest that any equity gains will be comparatively lower. So,
too, questions about earnings, particularly for the large multinational
companies, persist and the labor market remains tight and will place upward
pressure on wages. On the other hand, productivity improvement has been
sufficient to offset any higher costs, thereby allowing profits to expand while
keeping a lid on inflation. Several underlying fundamentals impacting the
consumer--including rising incomes and high levels of confidence--are also
expected to keep the economy on a relatively strong upward course for the near
term. Finally, low interest rates and hefty flows of retirement funds into the
equity market should provide some support to stock prices. Any correction that
may occur is anticipated to be brief and mild, followed by renewed strength in
the equity market.

no guarantee of future results. Ratings are calculated from the funds' 3-, 5-
and 10-year average annual returns in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns
with appropriate fee adjustments, and a risk factor that reflects fund
performance below 90-day T-bill returns. The Fund received 5 and 4 stars for
the three- and five-year periods and was rated among 2,332 and 1,292 domestic
equity funds, respectively. The top 10% of funds in a rating universe receive
5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars.

BT Investment Equity 500 Index 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 a business trust under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The BT Investment Equity 500
Index Fund (the "Fund") is one of the funds offered to investors by the Trust.
The Fund commenced operations and began offering shares of beneficial interest
on December 31, 1992. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by
investing all of its investable assets in the Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"). The Portfolio is an open-end management investment company
registered under the Act. The value of such investment in the Portfolio reflects
the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. At
December 31, 1997, the Fund's investment was 23.06% 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 and distribute dividends quarterly 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 income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required. The Fund may periodically make reclassifications among
certain of its capital accounts as a result of timing and characterization of
certain income and capital gains distributions determined annually in accordance
with federal tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Fund reclassified $1,751
from undistributed net investment income to accumulated net realized gain.
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 the Trust are allocated among the Funds in
the Trust.
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. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
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, 1997, this fee aggregated $1,666,151.
The Trust entered into a Distribution Agreement with Edgewood Services, Inc.
("Edgewood"). Under the Distribution Agreement with the Trust, pursuant to Rule
12b-1 of the 1940 Act, Edgewood may seek reimbursement at an annual rate not
exceeding 0.20 of 1% of each Fund's average daily net assets, for expenses
incurred in connection with any activities primarily intended to result in the
sale of each Fund's shares. For the year ended December 31, 1997, 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 0.25 of 1%
of the average daily net assets of the Fund, including expenses of the
Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 1997, expenses of the Fund have been
reduced by $774,879.
Certain officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of
Edgewood. None of the officers so affiliated received compensation for services
as officers of the Fund.
Note 3--Shares of Beneficial Interest
At December 31, 1997, there were an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as
follows:

Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1--Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Organization
The Equity 500 Index 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 December 11, 1991
as an unincorporated trust under the laws of New York, and commenced operations
on December 31, 1992. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees
(the "Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.
B. Security Valuation
The Portfolio's investments are valued each business day by an independent
pricing service approved by the Trustees. Securities traded on national
exchanges or traded in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last
sales prices reported at the close of business each day. Over-the-counter
securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed
securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and
asked prices. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or
less are valued at amortized cost which, with accrued interest, approximates
value. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair
value as determined by the Trustees.
C. Security Transactions and Interest Income
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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.
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.
D. Futures Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts which are contracts to
buy a standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future date. The
Portfolio is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount equal to
a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or
received by the Portfolio each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations in the
value of the underlying security, and are recorded for financial statement
purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the
board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
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. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Note 2--Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
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, 1997, this fee aggregated
$1,215,073.
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 0.10 of 1% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 1997, this
fee aggregated $2,430,147.
Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.08 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 1997,
expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $1,739,490.
On September 30, 1996, the Trust entered into a Distribution Agreement with
Edgewood Services, Inc. ("Edgewood").
Certain officers of the Portfolio are also directors, officers and employees of
Edgewood Services, Inc., the distributor of the BT Institutional Funds. None of
the officers so affiliated received compensation for services as officers of the
Portfolio.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Equity 500 Index Portfolio paid
brokerage commissions of $341,058.
Note 3--Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Report of Independent Accountants
To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of
the Equity 500 Index Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of portfolio investments, of the Equity 500 Index Portfolio as of
December 31, 1997, 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, 1997, 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
Equity 500 Index Portfolio as of December 31, 1997, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the
periods referred to above, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
