BT Investment Money Market Fund
Letter to Shareholders
We are pleased to present you with this semi-annual report for the Investment
Money Market Fund (the "Fund"), providing a detailed review of the market, the
Portfolio, and our outlook. Included are a complete financial summary of the
Fund's operations and a listing of the Portfolio's holdings.
MARKET ACTIVITY
Money markets were dominated by foreign activity rather than U.S. economic
factors or Federal Reserve Board policy in the first six months of 1998.
o The hangover effects of the Asian financial crises, which began in Korea,
Indonesia, and Thailand, spread to China and Japan. This both focused the U.S.
markets on that region and also continued to support a flight to quality and,
in turn, a U.S. Treasury rally.
o Domestically, the manufacturing sector of the U.S. economy weakened due to the
impact of the Asian turmoil. However, the service sector, which currently
constitutes approximately two-thirds of the U.S. economy, was extremely
strong. The service sector was supported by a 21 year low in unemployment, by
the wealth effect of the stock market, by an improving real estate market, and
by a low interest rate environment. The bottom line--more disposable income
for consumers.
----------------------
Investment Instruments
Bank obligations, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase
agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations.
----------------------
Overall, the money markets were rather quiet, with its yield curve reasonably
flat. A strong dollar, propelled by a deepening Asian crisis, served as a
positive backdrop for continued low inflation. A combination of low inflation
plus first quarter GDP growth of over 5% supported the markets' perception that
the Federal Reserve Board was on hold. It was. In turn, interest rates remained
relatively stable throughout the period, and price volatility within the money
markets was at an all-time low.
----------------------
Objective
Seeks high current income consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital.

NVESTMENT REVIEW
By staying disciplined to the purchase of high quality instruments and actively
adjusting sector allocation as market conditions changed, we were able to
produce competitive yields in the BT Investment Money Market Fund. We maintained
a neutral, close-to-the benchmark weighted average maturity position throughout
most of the semi-annual period. This strategy was based on the uncertainty
surrounding the impact of the Asian financial turmoil on the U.S. financial
markets as well as on the Federal Reserve Board's decision to keep interest
rates on hold. Also, the flat yield curve gave us few opportunities to extend
maturities to increase yield. Instead, we sought to add value by increasing the
Fund's holdings in floating rate securities, which proved to be effective in
producing competitive Fund returns.

MANAGER OUTLOOK
We believe the money markets should remain fairly positive throughout the second
half of the year for several reasons:
o The Asian crisis continues to loom and the U.S. dollar remains strong-a
positive backdrop for inflation to stay low.
o U.S. economic growth remains solid, the labor market tight, interest rates
stable and volatility low.
o While the Federal Reserve Board reinstituted its tightening bias earlier in
the year, it still seems likely that it will be on hold for a while.
o Japan is facing serious financial troubles, which could impact China and Latin
America in turn. Thus, we expect a continued flight to quality, with U.S.
Treasuries the major beneficiary.

We intend to maintain a relatively neutral average maturity for the near term.
At the same time, we will look to take advantage of any spike in yields or any
issue-specific attractive value opportunities to extend duration, given our view
of slower but still positive economic growth in the future.
We will, of course, continue to closely observe economic conditions and how they
affect the financial markets, as we seek to provide high current income
consistent with liquidity and capital preservation.
As always, we appreciate your ongoing support of the BT Investment Money Market
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 (unaudited)
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 June 30, 1998, the Fund's investment was approximately 8% of the
Portfolio.
The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Statement of Net
Assets, 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. Distribution 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 assets, liabilities, and operations of the
Fund. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to that Fund, while
expenses that 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 require 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 .30% of the Fund's average daily net assets. At
June 30, 1998, the amount owed under the Administration and Services Agreement
amounted to $72,302, net of waived fees of $29,163.
On September 30, 1996, 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, and previously
Signature, may seek reimbursement at an annual rate not exceeding .20% 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 six-month period ended June 30, 1998, there were no reimbursable expenses
incurred under this agreement. The Fund does not intend to charge 12b-1 fees in
the future.
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.
Effective August 11, 1998, ICC Distributors, Inc. will replace Edgewood as
distributor of the Trust.
Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fees and reimburse
expenses of the Fund, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to .17% of
the average daily net assets of the Fund, excluding expenses of the Portfolio
and .35% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, including expenses of the
Portfolio. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, expenses of the Fund
have been reduced by $293,998.
In 1994, the Portfolio sold certain structured notes carried at par to an
unrelated third party financial institution at par plus accrued interest
pursuant to a put agreement and that third party financial institution
immediately resold such security to Bankers Trust New York Corporation, the
parent of the Advisor, at the same price, also pursuant to a put agreement. As a
result of these transactions the Fund's Financial Highlights for the year ended
December 31, 1994 reflect its pro rata share of the Portfolio's realized loss on
the sale of these securities and a capital contribution in the amount of
$6,337,496. In 1996, Bankers Trust contributed capital in the amount of $562,004
to reimburse the Fund for capital losses incurred in prior years.
The Fund is a participant with other affiliated entities in a revolving credit
facility ("the revolver") and a discretionary demand line of credit facility
("collectively the credit facilities") in the amounts of $50,000,000 and
$100,000,000, respectively. A commitment fee of .07% per annum on the average
daily amount of the available commitment is payable on a quarterly basis and
apportioned equally among all participants. Amounts borrowed under the credit
facilities will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds
Rate plus .45%. No amounts were drawn down or outstanding under the credit
facilities as of and for the period ended June 30, 1998.
Note 3--Capital Loss Carryforward
At June 30, 1998, accumulated net realized capital loss carryforward available
as a reduction against future net realized capital gains consisted of $357,355
which will expire in 2002 and $4,211, which will expire in 2005.

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 is in accordance with Rule 2a-7
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and represents the 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.
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. Repurchase Agreements
The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
deemed to be creditworthy by the Portfolio's' Investment Advisor, 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 must have
an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus all
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 a default of bankruptcy by the seller,
realization and/or retention or the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.
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 .005% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. At June 30, 1998,
amount owed under the Administration and Services Agreement amounted to
$189,913, net of waived fees of $18,952.
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 .15% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets. At June 30, 1998, amounts owed under the Advisory
Agreement amounted to $557,741, net of waived fees of $68,855.
Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fees and reimburse
expenses of the Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to
.18% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six-month period
ended June 30, 1998, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $522,308.
In 1994, the Portfolio sold certain structured notes carried at par to an
unrelated third party financial institution at par plus accrued interest to a
put agreement and that third party financial institution immediately resold such
security to Banker Trust New York Corporation, the parent of the Advisor, at the
same price, also pursuant to a put agreement. As a result of these transactions
the Portfolio's Financial Highlights for the year ended December 31, 1994,
reflects the Portfolio's realized loss on the sale of these securities and a
capital contribution in the amount of $18,718,663. In 1996, Bankers Trust
contributed capital in the amount of $1,113,488 to reimburse the Cash Management
Portfolio for capital losses incurred in prior years.
The Cash Management Portfolio is a participant with other affiliated entities in
a revolving credit facility ("the revolver") and a discretionary demand line of
credit facility ("collectively the credit facilities") in the amounts of
$50,000,000 and $100,000,000, respectively. A commitment fee of .07% per annum
on the average daily amount of the available commitment is payable on a
quarterly basis and apportioned equally amongst all participants. Amounts
borrowed under the credit facilities will bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus .45%. No amounts were drawn down or
outstanding under the credit facilities as of and for the period ended June 30,
1998.
Certain officers of the Portfolio are also directors, officers, and/or employees
of Edgewood Services Inc., distributor of the BT Pyramid Funds. None of the
officers so affiliated received compensation for services as officers of the
Portfolio.
Effective August 11, 1998, ICC Distributors, Inc. will replace Edgewood as
distributor of the Trust.
