BT Investment Money Market Fund
Letter to Shareholders
By staying disciplined to the purchase of high quality instruments and actively
adjusting duration and sector allocation 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
5.61% as of December 31, 1997 was higher than the 5.20% yield of the IBC First
Tier Money Funds average.* The 7-day current net yield was 5.46% for the Fund as
of December 31, 1997.
MARKET ACTIVITY
For virtually the entire year, the pace of economic growth remained above-trend
and inflation was low. Unemployment continued to fall, putting pressure on labor
costs, but productivity improvement was strong enough to more than offset the
rising costs. Against this exceptional backdrop, the money markets were rather
quiet, with yields remaining relatively stable and the money market yield curve
reasonably flat.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Instruments
Bank obligations, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury obligations and repurchase
agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury obligations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only real interruption to this stability was early in the year. A rapidly
growing economy in the first quarter, supported by strong consumer spending and
home building, prompted the Federal Reserve Board to increase the Fed Funds rate
from 5.25% to 5.50% on March 25, 1997--the first increase in over two years.
Following this, inflationary pressures did not increase, signs pointed to a
slowing economy, and the Federal Reserve Board remained on hold throughout the
rest of the year. A high level of consumer confidence, strong employment gains
and rising incomes further helped support the low price volatility within the
money markets. Developments in the Far East overshadowed the ongoing favorable
performance of the U.S. economy during the fourth quarter. However, to date,
there has been little evidence of any meaningful impact of the turmoil abroad on
domestic activity.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective
Seeks high current income consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT REVIEW
We held a somewhat defensive, shorter-than-benchmark average maturity position
for the Fund throughout the first quarter of 1997, in anticipation of the late
March rate hike. Once the Federal Reserve Board raised rates and economic growth
waned, we moved to a more neutral stance in the portfolio. We then maintained a
neutral to shorter-than-benchmark maturity throughout most of the rest of the
year, as the Federal Reserve Board was seemingly on hold, and we saw no benefit
in extending maturity along a flat yield curve. We did extend slightly at the
end of the year to take advantage of the higher year-end rates generated by the
financial turmoil in Asia. This duration strategy, along with a focus on adding
value through what we call "spread product," e.g. floating rate notes, proved to
be effective in producing highly competitive Fund returns.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ratings
S&P: AAAm
Moody's: AAA
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGER OUTLOOK
As we enter 1998, the underlying fundamentals impacting the consumer--a tight
labor market, low inflation, low interest rates and strong economic growth--are
similar to those of most of 1997. Current data also supports the notion that the
Federal Reserve Board is on hold. However, the Asian crisis still looms, as the
delayed effect of the retrenchment in the region may still filter into the U.S.
Given this scenario, we expect the money market yield curve to remain flat.
Seeing no reason to extend at this time, we intend to maintain a
short-to-neutral average maturity for the near term.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Status at December 31, 1997
Seven day effective yield: 5.61%
Average maturity: 39 days
Net Assets: $426.4 million

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

* Past performance is not indicative of future results. Yields will vary.
Yields quoted for money market funds most closely reflect the fund's current
earnings. Although money market funds seek to maintain a share value of
$1.00, there is no guarantee that they will be able to do so. Mutual funds
are not bank deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any
bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other
government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk,
including possible loss of principal.

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, 1997, the Fund's investment was approximately 11% 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. 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 $1,315,340.
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, 1997, there
were no reimbursable expenses incurred under this agreement. The Fund does not
intend to charge 12b-1 fees in the future.
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, 1997, expenses of the Fund have
been reduced by $656,718.
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 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 reflects 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.
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--Capital Loss Carryforward
At December 31, 1997, accumulated net realized capital loss carryforward
available as a reduction against future net realized capital gains aggregated
$357,355, which will expire in 2002 and $4,211, which will expire in 2005.

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 Fund'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 BT
Investment Money Market Fund as of December 31, 1997, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of

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 is in accordance to 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 agreement
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 default or bankruptcy by the
seller, realization and/or retention of 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 0.05 of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. For the year ended December 31, 1997, this fee aggregated
$2,181,394.
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 31,1997, this
fee aggregated $6,544,181.
Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive its fees 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, 1997, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $940,530.
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 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

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, 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 and brokers. 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, 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 each of the five years
in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
