Dear Shareholder:

     We are pleased to present you the Performance Funds' eighth annual report
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000. The Performance Funds are comprised of
The Money Market Fund, The Short Term Government Income Fund, The Intermediate
Term Government Income Fund, The Large Cap Equity Fund, The Mid Cap Equity Fund,
and The Small Cap Equity Fund, individually a "Fund" and collectively the
"Funds." All funds are managed by Trustmark National Bank.

ECONOMIC REVIEW

     The Funds' fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 as the U.S. economy, now in its
tenth consecutive year of expansion, entered the new millennium with
considerable momentum. The U.S. economy's continued strength can be attributed
to a number of long-run factors: higher underlying potential growth, the
continuing lagged impact of the long bull rally in the stock market,
technology-driven investment spending, and strong overseas growth. Adding to
this strength in the near-term has been the Federal Reserve's (the "Fed") Y2K
liquidity injection, strong tax refunds, and a burst of government spending.

     The explosive growth in the economy has made the rosy budget outlook even
better. Because major federal government policy changes are unlikely until
fiscal year 2002, the budget surplus could surge to as much as $250 billion in
2001. Three factors have combined to drive the budget into surplus: 1) BUDGET
DISCIPLINE -- outlays have grown at a moderate pace over the last four years, 2)
STRONG ECONOMY -- Gross Domestic Product(1) (the "GDP") has been growing at 5%
annually, driving up revenues, and 3) REVENUE WINDFALL -- revenues have grown
faster than GDP, reflecting rapid growth in profits, the stock market, and
incomes for people in high tax brackets. The good budget news will encourage the
Treasury to keep cutting debt, which it commenced last March.

     Following its May, 1999 policy meeting, the Fed announced its "tightening
bias" citing that improved foreign economic prospects, a tight labor market, and
continued consumer demand raised concerns that "financial conditions may no
longer be consistent with containing inflation." The Fed has delivered on its
message by raising the Fed funds rate over the past year from 4.75% to 6.50%
through its May, 2000 meeting. Inflation (as measured by Consumer Price Index(2)
during this period) is currently 3.1% after being as high as 3.7% at the end of
March this year, well above its 2.1% reading just a year ago.

     On the following pages you will find a detailed discussion of each Fund's
performance. As always, we appreciate your support, welcome your comments, and
encourage you to talk with your investment representative should you have any
questions about your funds.

Sincerely,

/s/ John J. Pileggi

John J. Pileggi
Chairman of the Board

THE MONEY MARKET FUND

     The Money Market Fund (the "Fund") provided investors with a return of
5.38% (Institutional Class Shares)* and 5.12% (Class A Shares)* for the year
ended May 31, 2000. During this period, the 7-day yield of the Institutional
Class Shares fluctuated between a high yield of 5.96% on May 31, 2000 and a low
yield of 4.67% on June 10, 1999. During this period, the Fed raised the target
rate for Fed Funds six times from a low rate of 4.75% to the current 6.50% rate.
As interest rates adjusted to the hostile Fed environment, the Fund has been a
beneficiary of higher rates in the short end of the market. These interest rate
moves by the Fed were in response to the continued growth in the U.S. economy
which expanded at around 5% for the past 12 months. These conditions should
continue to benefit the shareholders of the Fund for the coming six to twelve
months. As long as the Fed is in a restrictive mode, short term rates will be
attractive for the Fund.

     The Fund invests primarily in high-quality, short-term instruments such as
U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. Government Agency obligations, bankers'
acceptances, commercial paper, and repurchase agreements.** The Fund is
considered a first tier Fund as a result of the high quality holdings per the
respective ratings from Standard and Poor's (A-1 or A-1+) and Moody's (P1).

THE SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND

     The Short Term Government Income Fund (the "Fund") provided shareholders
with a return of 3.94% (Institutional Class Shares), 3.68% (Class A
Shares -- excluding sales charge) and 0.60% (Class A Shares -- including sales
charge(1)) during the year ended May 31, 2000. Share price for the Institutional
Class Shares closed at $9.66 this reporting period, with a high of $9.80, and a
low of $9.63, during the fiscal year. This range of fluctuation is consistent
with the change in interest rates during this time period as measured by U.S.
Treasury rates.

     The Fund continues to try and capture the incremental yield available in
the short end of the U.S. fixed income securities market. Over the past twelve
months, interest rates have risen about 100 basis points in this sector of the
market and the Fund continues to add these higher yielding bonds to the
portfolio. Going forward, shareholders of the Fund should benefit from these
additions as well as the Fund's continuing efforts to control price volatility.
The Fund continues to use high quality investments for its shareholders such as
U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Agency and Mortgage related securities and
high-grade corporate and municipal issues.*

THE INTERMEDIATE TERM GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND

     To understand the bond market environment over the last year, we must look
at the economic events beginning in June 1998. The Fed, at that time, was
posturing for a rate increase because of our full capacity and an overheating
economy. It would be a full year before they actually moved rates, mainly due to
a financial crisis in Asia, Russia, and South America. This crisis sent global
investors looking for safety in U.S. Dollar denominated securities, mainly U.S.
Treasury securities. Therefore, in spite of a rapidly growing domestic economy,
and repeated warnings by the Fed, interest rates dropped to 30 year lows near
the end of 1998. The bond market was being stretched by huge contradictory
forces -- strong demand for the U.S. Dollar that was forcing rates down, and a
Hawkish Fed which wanted rates higher to control the exuberant economy.

     By the end of 1998 and the early part of 1999, the global financial crisis
had begun to wane, and demand for the U.S. Dollar waned with it. Global
investors liquidated Treasury and U.S. Dollar denominated bonds at an alarming
rate, subsequently driving up rates 150 basis points from their lows, and back
to levels seen in June 1998 when these events began to reveal themselves. Bond
investors at May 31, 1999 were now sitting at rate levels they had experienced
just one year prior, yet had traveled through a vicious down/up 150 basis point
rate cycle. Enter Alan Greenspan and the Federal Open Market Committee, which
you remember had been threatening rate increases for over a year. The Fed made
its first attack at the new economy in June 1999, right at the start of this
reporting period. Since then, and through May 31, 2000, the Fed raised the Fed
Funds rate 6 times for a total of 175 basis points.

     In general, intermediate interest rates rose over 100 basis points since
May 31, 1999, and over 200 basis points since the lows of 1998. Share price for
the Institutional Class Shares closed at $9.58 this reporting period, with a
high of $10.05, and low of $9.47 during the fiscal year. It is refreshing to
know, that in spite of this period overlapping part of the second worst bond
market in over 30 years, and the subsequent share price volatility, dividend
income was sufficient to provide shareholders with slightly above break-even
returns. Institutional Class Shares returned 0.71%* and Class A Shares
(excluding sales charge)(1) returned 0.45%* for the year ended May 31, 2000.

     We now see a whole new light shining on the bond market. Yes, the Fed is
still threatening, but we currently see no more than 50-75 basis points in
increases ahead of us (25 basis point increase only is still a possibility). It
takes time for the effect of rate increases to filter through the economy,
sometimes 12 to 18 months. The Fed began to move a year ago, but didn't really
hit pay dirt until the moves to 6.00% and 6.50% in the last two months. Recent
signs are telling us that the higher rates are already affecting parts of the
economy. We believe that the time to start accumulating bonds is near, in that
the bond market will foresee the slowdown in the economy before it actually
occurs. It may still be too early to predict an economic slowdown, however, it
is not too early to start investing in good quality bond sectors which are now
at extremely low prices left over from a tumultuous bear market. In our opinion,
such bonds have excellent income opportunity which will carry an investor
through short term price volatility, and possibly provide outstanding returns if
the Fed is successful in squelching the new economy.

(1)  The charts above represent a comparison of a hypothetical
     $10,000 investment and the reinvestment of dividends and
     capital gains in the indicated share class versus a similar
     investment in Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (the
     "Index"). The Index is an unmanaged index that is comprised
     of investment-grade corporate debt issues as well as debt
     issues of U.S. government agencies and the U.S. Treasury.
     The debt issues all maintain maturities within a range of
     1-10 years. The Index does not reflect the expenses
     associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management
     and accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the
     deduction of fees for these value-added services.
     Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they
     can invest in the underlying securities.
***  Performance of the Class B shares, which commenced
     operations on 10/2/98 is based on the historical performance
     of the Class A shares prior to that date which do not
     reflect the higher distribution fees or the contingent
     deferred sales charge (CDSC) associated with Class B shares.
     Had the higher distribution fees and the CDSC been
     incorporated, total return and hypothetical growth figures
     would have been lower.
     The total return set forth reflects the waiver of a portion
     of the Fund's fees. Without the waiver of these fees, total
     return for the period would have been lower.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

THE LARGE CAP EQUITY FUND

     For the year ended May 31, 2000, the Large Cap Equity Fund, (the "Fund")
Institutional Class Shares returned 5.35% while the S&P 500 Index(1) returned
10.48%.

     Again, we saw very good returns in the technology sector, with Cisco up
112% and Intel up 146%. The finance sector saw good performances from American
Express, up 38%, Bank of New York up 38%, Citigroup up 46%, and Morgan Stanley
Dean Witter up 57%. Issues in consumer related stocks continued to impact our
returns on the negative side, including Gillette, down 34%, Procter and Gamble
down 29% and Coca-Cola down 22%.

     We are still faced with more uncertainty as to the extent of rate increases
by the Fed, which will fuel more sector rotation. However, our efforts and
resources continue to be directed at security selection rather than market
timing.

(1)  The charts above represent a comparison of a hypothetical
     $10,000 investment and the reinvestment of dividends and
     capital gains in the indicated share class versus a similar
     investment in the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index (the
     "Index"), which represents the U.S. stock market as a whole.
     The Index is unmanaged, and does not reflect the deduction
     of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment
     management and accounting fees. The Fund's performance
     reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added
     services.
     Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they
     can invest in the underlying securities.
***  Performance of the Class B shares, which commenced
     operations on 10/2/98, is based on the historical
     performance of the Class A shares prior to that date which
     do not reflect the higher distribution fees or the
     contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) associated with
     Class B shares. Had the higher distribution fees and the
     CDSC been incorporated, total return and hypothetical growth
     figures would have been lower.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

PERFORMANCE FUNDS TRUST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MID CAP EQUITY FUND

     For the year ending May 31, 2000, the Mid Cap Equity Fund, (the "Fund")
Institutional Class Shares returned 8.55% while the S&P MidCap 400(1) returned
21.51%. The Fund's returns were closely matching the benchmark until the final
three months of the period when the market underwent a dramatic correction.
Holdings in the technology, biotechnology, and communication sectors were
particularly hard hit during the market turbulence and the Fund's relative
performance subsequently suffered.

     For the year, companies in the Energy sector positively impacted returns.
BJ Services increased 160%, Ensco International rallied 97%, and Smith
International jumped 83%. Retailers such as Dollar Tree (up 77%), Tiffany &
Company (up 48%), and Hannaford Brothers (up 41%) also contributed to the Fund's
increase. On the downside Claire's Stores fell 30%, Kaydon Corp. retreated 29%,
and Jones Apparel fell 13%. In the last three months of the period,
over-weighted positions in Electronic Arts (-36%) and Comdisco (-33%)
particularly affected the Fund's performance.

     We expect the market to continue trading in a choppy range as it slowly
undergoes the repair process following the steep sell-off earlier in the year.
On a brighter note, the bear market served to remove much of the excesses,
valuations for most companies are quite reasonable, and corporate profits remain
healthy.

      LISTED BELOW ARE THE TOP TEN HOLDINGS OF THE FUND AT MAY 31, 2000*:

(1)  The charts above represent a comparison of a hypothetical
     $10,000 investment and the reinvestment of dividends and
     capital gains in the indicated share class versus a similar
     investment in the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Stock Index
     (the "Index"), which is a capitalization-weighted index that
     measures the performance of the mid-range sector of the U.S.
     stock market where the median market capitalization is
     approximately $700 million. The Index is unmanaged, and does
     not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual
     fund, such as investment management and accounting fees. The
     Fund's performance reflects the deduction of fees for these
     value-added services.
     Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they
     can invest in the underlying securities.
***  Performance of the Class B shares, which commenced
     operations on 10/2/98 is based on the historical performance
     of the Class A shares prior to that date which do not
     reflect the higher distribution fees or the contingent
     deferred sales charge (CDSC) associated with the Class B
     shares. Had the higher distribution fees and the CDSC been
     incorporated, total return and hypothetical growth figures
     would have been lower.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

PERFORMANCE FUNDS TRUST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND(+)

     The Small Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") Institutional Class Shares returned
2.34%* for the year ending May 31, 2000. The S&P SmallCap 600 Index(1) returned
14.19% in comparison.

     Technology continued to lead all sectors with some companies turning in
truly spectacular returns. Energy stocks benefited from a resurgence in oil
prices and the health care sector performed well, with biotechnology companies
providing most of the return. On the negative side, investor concerns over Fed
actions caused financials and rate sensitive cyclicals to significantly
underperform. In the Fund, Plexus Corp. returned 172.5%, Vintage Petroleum was
up 130.0% and Jones Pharmaceutical rose 110.7%. Enhance Financial was down 29.6%
and Shopko fell 48.2%.

     Index returns continue to be driven by high-expected growth, expensive,
high beta stocks. In March 2000, some of these companies corrected (the Nasdaq
market index fell from over 5,100 to 3,400) and we saw broader market
participation by sector. This being positive for the market as a whole, was too
little, too late for market laggards.

     The current environment is marked with volatility. Investors are concerned
about further rate increases by the Fed. Recent economic releases have begun to
show signs of a slowing in the economy and confirmation of a slowdown in the
coming weeks and months would be positive for stocks as the Fed takes a more
neutral stance.

     unmanaged capitalization weighted index that measures the
     performance of selected U.S. stocks with a small market
     capitalization. The Index does not reflect the expenses

     Investors cannot invest directly in an index although they
     can invest in the underlying securities.
  *  The total return set forth reflects the waiver of a portion
     of the Fund's fees. Without the waiver of these fees, total
     return for the period would have been lower.
 **  Portfolio composition is subject to change. Ten largest
     holdings' percentages are based upon net assets as of May
     31, 2000.
  +  Small company funds typically carry additional risks since
     small companies generally have higher company specific risk
     and historically, their stocks have experienced a greater
     degree of market volatility than larger company stocks on
     average.

PERFORMANCE FUNDS TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements -- May 31, 2000

1.   ORGANIZATION:
     Performance Funds Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
     Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management
     investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware business trust on
     March 11, 1992 and currently consists of six separate portfolios: The Money
     Market Fund, The Short Term Government Income Fund, The Intermediate Term
     Government Income Fund, The Large Cap Equity Fund, The Mid Cap Equity Fund,
     and The Small Cap Equity Fund, collectively (the "Funds"), or individually
     (the "Fund"). Each Fund has three classes of shares, the Institutional
     Class Shares, Class A Shares (formerly, Consumer Service Class), and Class
     B Shares, except for The Short Term Government Income Fund which offers the
     Institutional Class Shares and Class A Shares only. Each class of shares in
     the Funds has identical rights and privileges except with respect to fees
     paid under distribution plans, voting rights on matters affecting a single
     class of shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires
     management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual amounts could
     differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant
     accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation
     of their financial statements:

        SECURITY VALUATION:
        Bonds and other fixed income securities (other than short-term
        obligations but including listed issues) in the Funds are valued on the
        basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, the use of which has
        been approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees. In making such
        valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations
        and electronic data processing techniques which take into account
        appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups
        of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue,
        trading characteristics other than market data and without exclusive
        reliance upon quoted prices or exchanges or over-the-counter prices,
        since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair
        value of such securities. All debt portfolio securities with a remaining
        maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which
        approximates market value as determined by the Board of Trustees.

        The value of each equity security held by the Funds is based either on
        the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or in the absence
        of recorded sales, as the closing bid prices on such exchanges, or at
        the quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market. Securities or other
        assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued
        at fair market value as determined in good faith by or at the direction
        of the Board of Trustees.

        SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME:
        Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized
        gain or loss on the sale of investments determined by using the
        identified cost method. Interest income is recognized on the accrual
        basis and, where applicable, includes the amortization of premium or
        accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
        date.

        REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
        The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with government
        securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, with member
        Banks of the Federal Reserve System or with such other brokers or
        dealers that meet the credit guidelines established by the Board of
        Trustees. It is the Funds' policy to receive and maintain securities as
        collateral whose market value, including accrued interest, will be at
        least 100% of the dollar amount invested by that Fund in each agreement,
        and that Fund will make payment for

PERFORMANCE FUNDS TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- May 31, 2000

        such securities only upon physical delivery or upon evidence of book
        entry transfer to the account of the custodian. To the extent that any
        repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, it is the Funds' policy
        that the value of the collateral be marked to market on a daily basis to
        ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the
        value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings are
        commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the
        collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

        EXPENSE ALLOCATION:
        Expenses with respect to any two or more Funds are allocated in
        proportion to the net assets of each Fund in the Trust, except where
        allocations of direct expenses to each Fund can otherwise be determined
        fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that
        Fund. The expenses of the Funds are allocated to each class of shares on
        a pro-rata basis.

        ORGANIZATION EXPENSES:
        Costs incurred in connection with the organization and initial
        registration of each Fund were deferred and are being amortized over a
        sixty-month period beginning with each Fund's commencement of
        operations.

        DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
        The Money Market Fund, The Short Term Government Income Fund and The
        Intermediate Term Government Income Fund declare all net investment
        income daily as dividends to their shareholders and distribute such
        dividends monthly. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are
        declared and distributed monthly for The Large Cap Equity Fund, The Mid
        Cap Equity Fund and The Small Cap Equity Fund.

        The Funds' net realized gains, if any, are distributed to the
        shareholders at least annually. Additional distributions are also made
        to the Funds' shareholders to the extent necessary to avoid the federal
        excise tax on certain undistributed income and net realized gains of
        regulated investment companies.

        The amounts of dividends from net investment income and net realized
        gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations,
        which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The
        "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
        nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such
        amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on
        their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
        reclassification.

        Dividends and distributions to shareholders which exceed net investment
        income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes
        but not for tax purposes are reported as distributions in excess of net
        investment income or distributions in excess of net realized gains. To
        the extent they exceed net investment income and net realized gains for
        tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.

        For the year ended May 31, 2000, the following reclassifications have
        been made to increase/(decrease) such accounts with offsetting
        adjustments made to capital:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- May 31, 2000

6.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
     It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated
     investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain
     investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal
     Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net
     realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially
     all, federal income taxes.

     At May 31, 2000, the following funds had net capital loss carryforwards to
     offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by Treasury
     regulations:

       To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital
       gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to
       shareholders.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Trustees of
Performance Funds Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations
and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Money Market Fund, The Short
Term Government Income Fund, The Intermediate Term Government Income Fund, The
Large Cap Equity Fund, The Mid Cap Equity Fund and The Small Cap Equity Fund
(separate portfolios constituting the Performance Funds Trust, hereafter
referred to as the "Funds") at May 31, 2000, the results of each of their
operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for
each of the two years then ended and the financial highlights for each of the
periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2000 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
