LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

We are pleased to present you with this semi-annual  report for Equity 500 Index
Investment (the "Fund"),  providing a review of the markets, the Portfolio,  and
our outlook as well as a complete financial summary of the Fund's operations and
a listing of the Portfolio's holdings.

With the  acquisition  of Bankers Trust by Deutsche  Bank, the name of your Fund
has  changed  to Equity 500 Index  Investment.  However,  the Fund's  investment
objectives,  policies and strategies,  as well as its portfolio manager,  remain
the same.

MARKET ACTIVITY
THE S&P 500  INDEX  TURNED IN A  VIRTUALLY  FLAT  PERFORMANCE  FOR THE FIRST SIX
MONTHS OF 2000, WITH A SEMI-ANNUAL RETURN OF -0.42%.
o Equity  markets  struggled,  weighed  down  at  first  by  fears  of  economic
  overheating and higher interest rates and then by concerns about profit growth
  in a slowing economic environment.
o The market remained extremely narrow throughout, but, interestingly, Microsoft
  alone more than accounted for the largely flat return.
o On a sector basis, only four -- energy, health care, technology, and utilities
  -- bettered the Index's semi-annual return.  Energy and utilities were obvious
  defensive  sectors  favored during the prolonged  Federal Reserve Board watch.
  Health care was the best performing sector during the six months.
o As has  been  the  case  for  the  past  several  years,  large-capitalization
  growth-oriented   stocks   outperformed   their  value  counterparts  for  the
  semi-annual period.
o Large cap stocks underperformed small and mid cap stocks.

DURING THE FIRST  QUARTER,  THE S&P 500 INDEX GAINED 2.29%,  BUT  VOLATILITY WAS
HIGH.
o At the lowest point of the quarter, on February 25, the Index was down 8% from
  the beginning of the year.  In March,  the Index rose 9.78%,  registering  the
  highest monthly gain in nine years.
o The technology  sector  dominated the Index,  although within the sector,  the
  disparity in returns was significant.  Intel Corp. and Cisco Systems,Inc. were
  the top positive  contributors to the Index on a capitalization  basis,  while
  Microsoft,  Lucent Technologies,  Yahoo! and America Online were among the top
  negative  contributors on a  capitalization  basis. One third of the stocks in
  this sector had a negative return.
o Utilities  and  financials  had  strong  results.  Weaker  performing  sectors
  included basic materials, consumer cyclicals and consumer staples.
o The quarter saw high turnover in the Index as 9 companies were replaced and 19
  changed the number of their outstanding shares.

THE S&P 500 INDEX  POSTED A -2.66%  DECLINE FOR THE SECOND  QUARTER OF 2000,  AS
VIRTUALLY  ALL MAJOR US EQUITY  INDICES WERE DOWN  DRAMATICALLY  DUE TO BOTH THE
NASDAQ  COMPOSITE  CORRECTION THAT BEGAN IN MARCH AND CARRIED INTO APRIL AND THE
MORE AGGRESSIVE INTEREST RATE HIKE BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD IN MAY.
o Weakness in technology  stocks led the market decline in April, and volatility
  continued  in May with  more  market  swings  on  failed  surges  of  investor
  confidence.  The market  finally  found its  footing in June when the  Federal
  Reserve Board decided to hold interest  rates steady on the back of signs of a
  slowing economy.
o Health  care was the best  performing  S&P sector for the  quarter.  Other top
  performing  sectors  included  utilities  and  consumer  staples.  Technology,
  communication  services,  consumer  cyclicals,  and basic  materials  were the
  weakest sectors.
o Best performing  stocks included Nabisco Group,  St. Jude Medical,  and Reebok
  International.  Citrix  Systems,  Novell,  and  QUALCOMM  were the worst stock
  performers.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

o The  second  quarter  saw high  turnover  in the  Index as 16  companies  were
  replaced and 20 changed the number of their outstanding shares.

INVESTMENT REVIEW
The Fund  was  rated  four  stars  from  Morningstar(TM)  based  on its  overall
performance as of June 30, 2000 out of 3,642 domestic equity funds.1

MANAGER OUTLOOK
Going forward,  we continue to view the most likely outcome for the U.S. economy
to be a "soft  landing."  That is, we still expect that a combination  of higher
interest rates relative to a year ago, moderating equity markets, and higher oil
prices may bring demand more in line with the economy's supply potential by late
2000/early 2001, thus keeping inflation  pressures from becoming too entrenched.
Though encouraged by recent hints of cooling demand, we remain  unconvinced that
a  sufficient,  long-lasting  economic  slowdown will occur without some further
tightening  by the Federal  Reserve Board after a few months' pause and a longer
period of

1 PAST  PERFORMANCE  IS  NOT  INDICATIVE  OF  FUTURE  RESULTS.   Morningstar(TM)
  proprietary  ratings reflect historical  risk-adjusted  performance as of June
  30, 2000. They are subject to change every month.  Ratings are calculated from
  the Fund's 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable)  average annual total return 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
  overall  rating is based on a weighted  average  of the Fund's  three and five
  year  performance.  The Fund received four stars for the three year period and
  four  stars  for the five year  period  and was  rated  among  3,642 and 2,328
  domestic equity funds, respectively. The top 10% of funds in a rating universe
  receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars,
  the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.  Ratings are
  for the Investment class only; other classes may vary.
2 Investment  return and  principal  value will  fluctuate so that an investor's
  shares,  when  redeemed,  may be worth more or less than their  original cost.
  Performance  figures  assume the  reinvestment  of dividend  and capital  gain
  distributions. During the period the Fund waived certain fees and expenses.Had
  these fees and  expenses not been  waived,  the Fund's  return would have been
  lower.  There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to mirror the S&P 500
  Index closely enough to track its performance.

consolidation  in the equity markets.  Moreover,  while higher oil prices should
help slow demand by cutting into consumer purchasing power, they might also feed
into  underlying  inflation by boosting wage demands.  Even if the economy slows
gracefully,  the  backdrop of slower  profit  growth and higher  inflation  will
likely be less favorable for equities than the  fundamentals  we've seen for the
last few years.

It is important to reiterate that as an index fund,  which seeks to replicate as
closely as possible (before deduction of expenses) the broad diversification and
returns of the S&P 500 Index, we neither evaluate short-term fluctuations in the
Fund's  performance  nor  manage  according  to a given  outlook  for the equity
markets or the economy in general.  Still, we will continue  monitoring economic
conditions  and how they  affect the  financial  markets,  as we seek to closely
track the performance of the stock market.

As always,  we appreciate your ongoing support of the Equity 500 Index Fund, and
we look forward to continuing to serve your  investment  needs for many years to
come.

Equity 500 Index Investment
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 a business trust under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Equity 500 Index Investment (the
"Fund") is one of the funds  offered to investors  by the Trust.  The Fund began
operations and 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 the Fund's  investment in the Portfolio  reflects its proportionate
interest in the net assets of the Portfolio, which was approximately 12% at June
30, 2000.

The financial statements of the Portfolio,  including a list of assets held, are
contained  elsewhere in this report and should be read in  conjunction  with the
Fund's financial statements.

B. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
Valuation  of  securities  by the  Portfolio  is  discussed  in  Note  1B of the
Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements,  which are included elsewhere in this
report.

C. 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 securities  transactions  of the Portfolio are allocated pro
rata among the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

D. DISTRIBUTIONS
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 are made at
least annually to meet excise and federal tax requirements.

E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Fund's policy to comply with the  requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment  companies and distribute  substantially
all of its taxable  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   differences   in  the
characterization   and   allocation   of  certain   income  and  capital   gains
distributions  determined  annually in accordance  with federal tax  regulations
which may differ from  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United
States.

F. OTHER
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each
of its funds. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund,
while expenses that are  attributable to the Trust are allocated among the funds
in the Trust.

G. ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States  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"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche
Bank A.G. Under this 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.

Bankers Trust has contractually  agreed to waive its fees and reimburse expenses
of the Fund  through  April 30,  2001,  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  .25% of the  average  daily  net  assets  of the  Fund,
including expenses of the Portfolio.

ICC Distributors, Inc. provides distribution services to the Fund.

Equity 500 Index Portfolio
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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 began  operations on
December 31, 1992.  The  Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the
"Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

B. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
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 that,  with accrued  interest,  approximates
value.  Securities  for which  quotations  are not  available are stated at fair
value as determined by the Trustees.

C. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST INCOME
Securities 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  accretion  of  discount  on
investments.  Expenses are recorded as incurred.  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 securities  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 cash or securities in an amount equal to
a certain percentage of the contract amount.  Variation margin payments are made
or received by the Portfolio each day,  depending 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
The  Portfolio is  considered a  partnership  under the Internal  Revenue  Code.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

F. OTHER
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States  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"),  an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Deutsche Bank AG. The agreement  provides for the Portfolio to pay Bankers Trust
a fee,  accrued daily and paid monthly,  computed as a percentage of the average
daily net assets of the  Portfolio.  Effective  March 15,  2000,  Bankers  Trust
agreed to limit the total amount of annual  operating  expenses of the Portfolio
to .05% under the agreement.  Under this agreement,  the investment advisory fee
and the  administration  and  services  fee have been  reduced to .05% and .08%,
respectively of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

The Portfolio may invest in Cash Management  Institutional  ("Cash Management"),
an  open-end  management  investment  company  managed  by Bankers  Trust.  Cash
Management  is offered as a cash  management  option to the  Portfolio and other
accounts  managed by Bankers Trust.  Distributions  from Cash  Management to the
Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $4,482,789  and are
included in dividend income.
