MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

U.S. EQUITY FUNDS

Any doubts that the stock market was volatile, or could suffer a large monthly
decline, should have been erased this year. The 14.5% decline in the S&P 500
Stock Index in August 1998 was the second largest calendar month decline since
the 1930s. A combination of a liquidity crisis in the bond market, concern about
U.S. corporate profits, and worry over a global financial meltdown caused by the
threat of default in Brazil, China, Korea and Russia, all contributed to send
stock prices lower. The events that sent stock prices lower may have been
unique, but the fact that prices fell was not.

The GROWTH & INCOME FUND earned 15.2% for the fiscal year ending October 31,
1998. On the surface, it may seem like an "average" year for the Fund. What is
important about this year's performance is that the stocks which make up the
"dogs of the Dow" half of the Fund performed better in the market downturn. This
is what the theory has always proclaimed: better performance in a down market
due to higher dividend yield and stocks that already trade at a low ("dog")
valuation. The Fund was down 12.7% from the large cap market peak on July 17th
to its October 8th low. However, the S&P 500 dropped 18.8% over the same period.
The theory continues to work.

It works with individual companies, too. Eastman Kodak had a tough 1997, down
23.2% last fiscal year (12 months ending October 31, 1997). As a result, it made
the list of the "dogs of the Dow" stocks and was purchased into the Fund. This
fiscal year, true to theory, it rallied 32.8%, surpassing the 22% return of the
S&P 500. Reaping the benefits of its most recent restructuring plan, Kodak has
significantly improved earnings by decreasing its cost structure and inspiring
new investor confidence in this great American brand.

Some of our shareholders have asked why we would hold a socially troubled
company like Philip Morris. While Philip Morris' business activities
may be loathsome to many, we would be neglecting our responsibility to all
shareholders of the Fund if we did not invest according to the methodology we
have established. Had we strayed from the discipline, the Fund would not have
participated in Philip Morris' 34.2% rise this fiscal year, which beat the S&P
500. Interestingly, Philip Morris was one of the few stocks in the U.S. with a
positive return in August's general market decline.

The MARKET RETURN FUND had another splendid year, earning 18.5%. The Fund is a
combination of a short-term bond fund and S&P 500 futures and performs
consistently with the overall stock market. It is an excellent vehicle for IRAs
and other tax-deferred investments. This Fund will earn its first 3-year
Morningstar star rating in a few months, and we are anxiously awaiting its
recognition.

Small cap stocks had one of the worst years in a few decades. The market peaked
in April 1998 and fell a disappointing 37.3% until the trough in October 1998.
No matter how you define

"bear" market, this was it. Our small cap funds, the VALUE STOCK FUND and the
GROWTH STOCK FUND, could not escape the difficult market. The Value Fund was
down 6.9% and the Growth Fund fell 8.7% for the 10 month period ending October
31, 1998. It is important to note that these two Funds, like all Payden & Rygel
Funds, invest in what they say they will invest, i.e., in this case, small cap
stocks. A quick look at the largest holdings of many funds named "small cap"
will uncover some of the largest cap stocks in the world. This does not help an
investor who is looking for diversification.

FOREIGN STOCK FUNDS

The EUROPEAN GROWTH & INCOME FUND started the year with a blaze, outpacing even
the torrid pace set by the U.S. market. The Fund finished the year with a solid
gain of 14.3%. Although the methodology for this Fund is similar to the "dogs of
the Dow" strategy, investors should note that both the timing and reason for
paying a dividend is very different in Europe than in the U.S. This means that
the performance characteristics of this Fund will differ from its U.S. cousin.
The diversification benefits of European stocks are outstanding and the
prospects for the "new" Europe under the common currency in 1999 are exciting.

The methodology works on individual companies in Europe, too. Pernod Ricard
earned a disappointing 0.8% return in fiscal year 1997. It fell into the "dogs
of Europe" stocks and was incorporated into our portfolio. This fiscal year, the
stock gained 43.5%, outpacing the Dow Jones Europe Stoxx index return of 16.1%.
The beverage industry giant sold its Orangina drink division to focus on
expanding its international operations in spirits and wine.

The INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND also participated in the solid returns generated
by European bourses this year. Unfortunately, these returns were offset by the
disappointing results in Asian and Latin American stock markets. The Fund earned
0.8% in fiscal year 1998.

The GLOBAL BALANCED FUND earned a solid 8.2% for fiscal year 1998. The Fund was
more conservative and evenly balanced than its 60% stock, 40% bond benchmark for
much of the year. The bond component also added stability, as the Fund continued
to have relatively low variability of return. Indeed, the return for this year
is similar to the 9.5% earned last fiscal year.

This Fund is an excellent choice for investors who are troubled by making their
own stock/bond/cash decisions, or for investors looking for instant
diversification.


U.S. BOND FUNDS
1998 was one of the most unusual years in recent memory in the U.S. bond market.
The first eight months of the year were relatively quiet, volatility was low and
yields on 10 year Treasuries traded in the 5.4% to 5.7% range. Then, in August,
concerns over Latin America, Asia and Russia, combined with the uncertainty
surrounding the Clinton presidency created a global "flight-to-quality." This
caused U.S. Treasury rates to drop nearly 1.2% in a little over a month as
investors sold risky assets and desperately put their funds in risk-free
Treasuries. In addition, the virtual collapse of Long Term Capital and other
hedge funds further exacerbated the effect of this "flight-to-quality" and
caused liquidity to be severely reduced in sectors which are normally highly
liquid.

This decline in rates was a positive factor for most fixed-income investors and
consequently, all of our fixed-income funds generated attractive returns during
this time. However, not all bonds performed equally well. This was due to the
constantly changing yield curve in conjunction with the widening of spreads
across all non-treasury securities (mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed
securities, and corporate bonds).

With interest rates falling during the year, our Funds with the longest duration
strategies, the TOTAL RETURN, INVESTMENT QUALITY BOND, AND U.S. GOVERNMENT
FUNDS, performed the best. Of these funds, the U.S. GOVERNMENT FUND turned in
the best performance due to the superior performance of U.S. Treasuries relative
to the poor performing corporate securities. This year, the Fund earned a
Morningstar Rating(TM) of [FOUR STARS],* and for the fiscal year ending October
31, 1998, the Fund gained 8.6%.


* Morningstar ratings are for the 3-year period ending October 31, 1998, out of
a total of 1,499 taxable bond funds. Morningstar's proprietary ratings reflect
historical risk-adjusted performance and are subject to change monthly.
Specifically, they are calculated from the fund's 3-year average annual returns
in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns with appropriate adjustments for fees
and a risk factor that reflects performance below a 90-day Treasury bill return.
The top 10% of the funds in an investment category receive five stars and the
next 22.5% receive four stars.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)


Fortunately, the TOTAL RETURN AND INVESTMENT QUALITY BOND FUNDS, both of which
have been overweight in corporate bonds, have also been structured with an
overweight to longer maturity securities. This increase in average maturity
helped mitigate the impact of the under-performing corporate securities. In
fact, the negative impact from spread widening was off-set by the general
decline in rates which contributed to an increase in capital gains. The TOTAL
RETURN FUND earned 7.7% this fiscal year, and the INVESTMENT QUALITY BOND FUND
earned 8.3%.

The SHORT BOND FUND and the LIMITED MATURITY FUND each handsomely exceeded the
return on money market securities. The SHORT BOND FUND earned 6.8% this fiscal
year, while the LIMITED MATURITY FUND posted a 5.9% return. We are generally
pleased with the performance of these Funds, which provide investors with a
liquid source of higher yielding investment for cash in their portfolio.

The HIGH INCOME FUND benefited from several core strategies, which resulted in
good results in a very volatile market. For the year-to-date through October 31,
the Fund returned 1.8%. Our focus on restructuring and consolidating (defensive)
industries, most notably cable, media and gaming, proved beneficial in an
environment of generally wider spreads. Our underweighting of the hard-hit
cyclicals (paper, chemicals, energy) was also a positive for relative returns.
In addition, the HIGH INCOME FUND benefited from the higher average credit
quality of the portfolio, which has been a mid-double B. Perhaps most important,
individual credit selection provided significant additional returns as the
Fund's upgrade to downgrade ratio stood at a strong 5 to 1.

The BUNKER HILL MONEY MARKET FUND earned a highly competitive yield this year.
This Fund maintains a constant net asset value, and is therefore appropriate for
investors whose first priority is safety of principal.

FLIGHT TO QUALITY
During August and September, the corporate bond market experienced one of its
worst performing periods in quite some time. As investors poured money into U.S.
Treasuries, all other non-Treasury securities were either sold or ignored. This
caused spreads on corporate bonds (i.e., the difference between corporate bond
yields and Treasury yields) to widen to levels not seen since the recession in
1990-1991. In addition, the liquidity of investment grade corporate bonds, was
significantly reduced as Wall Street dealers became reluctant to make markets in
bonds which had previously been almost as liquid as Treasuries. This severely
reduced liquidity caused spreads to widen even further in a snowball-like
effect. The chart on the following page illustrates the magnitude of this
phenomenon.

In mid October, the Federal Reserve Board lowered rates 0.25%, which was the
second rate cut in less than 3 weeks, in response to the credit crunch brought
about by the factors mentioned above. The corporate bond market responded
positively to these cuts and spreads have since recovered from their widest
levels in early October.

Going forward, we plan on maintaining our overweight of investment grade
corporates, compared to the applicable benchmarks, due to the underlying
strength of the U.S. economy and the solid fundamental credit-paying ability of
these corporations. If market volatility subsides in the coming months, as
expected, spreads would also be expected to decrease, thereby generating
significant capital gains.

GLOBAL BOND FUNDS
Internationally, bond markets of the developed countries reacted to the
financial crisis in a similar fashion to the U.S. market. Interest rates fell
across Europe and Japan as investors shifted out of riskier assets into
government bonds. Higher-yielding credit instruments did not see the same
demand; thus, spreads widened while liquidity significantly contracted.

Performance across countries was fairly consistent, relative to past years. On a
local currency basis, European bonds were the highest returning, followed by the
U.S. and Japan. Volatility in the foreign exchange markets also picked up in the
second half of the year, with the U.S. dollar losing ground to the Japanese yen
and European currencies. For U.S. investors, this boosted returns on unhedged
foreign holdings.

<PAGE>   7
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued)

The GLOBAL FIXED INCOME FUND and GLOBAL SHORT BOND FUND were well positioned for
the fall in interest rates around the world. Through the purchase of long
maturity securities in both portfolios, the extra duration contributed excess
capital gains as bond yields fell. Also, the emphasis on government issues and
high quality securities paid off as these Funds outperformed their respective
benchmarks. The Global Fixed Income Fund has earned the highest Morningstar
Rating(TM) of [FIVE STARS].*

Looking ahead, we continue to be optimistic on the outlook for global
fixed-income securities. In the coming year, the tightened liquidity conditions
should slow economic growth worldwide. We believe that the resulting lower level
of inflation will push bond yields lower and allow central banks to lower
short-term interest rates as well. In addition, as credit markets stabilize, and
European Monetary Union is officially launched in January, 1999, the Funds
should find attractive opportunities for added return in oversold non-government
sectors.

TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUNDS
The municipal market was primarily affected by two competing forces over the
last year: (1) new issuances that were heavy and sporadic, and (2) uncertainty
in global financial markets which led to a flight-to-quality and lower interest
rates.

The supply trend that began in 1997, with $221 billion in new bond issuances,
continued into 1998. Municipalities, flush with cash from an expanding economy
and strong tax receipts, had many capital needs to meet. The first half of 1998
saw a heavy new debt load being financed, and many participants felt the market
would break the old total debt issuance record of $291 billion, set in 1993. A
supply record was set in May 1998 when the Long Island Power Authority brought a
$3.4 billion deal to market. This was the single largest municipal deal in
history. To absorb the heavy slate of supply, investors demanded higher yields,
and municipal valuations were pressured. In July, a seasonal lull in issuances
began, and continued through the rest of the year, as the flight-to-quality in
the Treasury market made it difficult to structure new deals. The diminished
supply picture through the end of the year enabled municipals to recapture some
value relative to other instruments.

Another factor that impacted the municipal market was the uncertainty in global
financial markets. The rally in the Treasury market had a carryover impact on
the municipal market, resulting in an increase in the absolute value of
municipal bonds.


* Morningstar ratings are for the periods ending October 31, 1998, out of a
total of 1499 (3-year period) and 954 (5-year period) taxable bond funds.
Morningstar's proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance
and are subject to change monthly. Specifically, they are calculated from the
fund's 3-year and 5-year average annual returns in excess of 90-day Treasury
bill returns with appropriate adjustments for fees and a risk factor that
reflects performance below a 90-day Treasury bill return. The top 10% of the
funds in an investment category receive five stars.

<PAGE>   8
Bonds in the short end of the municipal yield curve experienced the sharpest
decline in interest rates during the year. Yields declined by 0.85% on bonds
with maturities within one year, whereas yields fell by 0.45% on bonds that
mature in two to five years. Consequently the yield curve steepened by 0.40%
from one to five years. Municipal credit spreads remained stable throughout the
year with the spread between AAA and BBB General Obligation bonds at 0.35%.
During the year, we were able to selectively add bonds with a yield advantage to
enhance the SHORT DURATION TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND'S overall yield. The move
improved the portfolio's risk-adjusted return, which increased the fund's
Morningstar Rating(TM) to [FOUR STARS].*

The TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND benefited from the change in the shape of the yield
curve during the year. Yields in the intermediate portion of the curve declined
by 0.45%, whereas the yield on long bonds fell by 0.30%. The Fund took advantage
of this by maintaining an overweight in the intermediate portion of the yield
curve compared to its benchmark. Unlike the taxable market, which suffered from
a widening in the yield premium demanded for lower credit bonds, credit spreads
in the municipal market actually narrowed during the year. When the year began,
credit spreads were at historically narrow levels. At that time, we held the
opinion that investors were not properly compensated for the additional risk
they assumed on lower credit bonds. We believe the risk\reward trade-off
continues to favor high quality instruments.

* Morningstar ratings are for the 3-year period ending October 31, 1998, out of
a total of 972 municipal bond funds. Morningstar's proprietary ratings reflect
historical risk-adjusted performance and are subject to change monthly.

in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns with appropriate adjustments for fees
and a risk factor that reflects performance below a 90-day Treasury bill return.

next 22.5% receive four stars.

<PAGE>   29
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

Payden & Rygel and the world financial markets explored new territory in 1998.
Continued turmoil in international markets sparked a crisis of confidence in our
own markets, causing a tumble in stock prices and an unparalleled test of
liquidity in bonds. The Payden & Rygel Funds, however, due to a strong emphasis
on risk management, held up extremely well in this volatile environment.

And, this performance did not go unnoticed In the past six months, several of
our funds have received upgrades to their Morningstar Ratings(TM). Two of our
funds now have five-stars* (Global Fixed Income and Limited Maturity) and two
more funds received four-stars (Short Bond and U.S. Government).* Many of our
funds were also cited in the general financial media - Short Duration Tax
Exempt, for example, was cited three months in a row by Money magazine as one of
the leading short-term muni funds, and Global Fixed Income continues to receive
a variety of accolades from publications such as Fortune Magazine and Dow Jones
Investment Advisor.

Shareholders rewarded this excellence with both their savings and their trust.
Year-over-year through October 31, our Funds experienced a 30% growth in assets
- - in dollar terms, an increase of over $500 million. As you receive this report,
we are moving towards our next target - the $3 billion mark.

Hand in hand with this growth, Payden & Rygel has expanded services for our
customers. This past quarter, we introduced both trading and balance inquires to
our shareholders via the Internet. Based on your feedback, we revamped our
website to make it more user-friendly. We also redesigned many of our marketing
and informational materials to make our fund information easier to access and
understand. And in October, in conjunction with Metzler Bank of Germany, Payden
& Rygel announced the creation of a new global joint venture, Metzler/Payden
LLC, to create cross-oceanic investment


            PAYDEN & RYGEL FUNDS GARNER RECOGNITION IN NATIONAL MEDIA





*Morningstar ratings are for the periods ending October 31, 1998, out of a total
of 1,499 (3-year period) and 954 (5-year period) taxable bond funds.
Morningstar's proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance
and are subject to change monthly. Specifically, they are calculated from each
fund's 3-year and, in the case of the Global Fixed Income Fund only, 5-year
average annual returns in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns with
appropriate adjustments for fees and a risk factor that reflects performance
below a 90-day Treasury bill return. The top 10% of the funds in an investment
category receive five stars and the next 22.5% receive four stars.

opportunities and subadvise our international stock funds. Note that this
relationship will not affect the independence of either member firm.

Just as we have expanded our services, so we have expanded our product line. In
December, we started three new mutual funds. The EuroDirect Fund, a European
version of our Global Balanced Fund, invests in European-domiciled stocks and
bonds. The California Municipal Income Fund invests in California-issued
municipal bonds. Finally, Payden & Rygel brings its widely-recognized global
bond expertise to the emerging markets sector with our Emerging Markets Bond
Fund.


NEW FUNDS, NEW ASSETS, NEW GROWTH


Going forward, we believe Payden & Rygel will continue to offer a compelling
range of investment opportunities. We are pleased to see our shareholders
responding to them so enthusiastically.

As always, we work for you.



Best Wishes,

/s/ Joan A. Payden

Money Market Fund, Payden & Rygel High Income Fund, Payden & Rygel Value Stock
Fund and Payden & Rygel Growth Stock Fund (the "Funds") is a series of The
Payden & Rygel Investment Group (the "Group"). The Group, except for the Payden
& Rygel Bunker Hill Money Market Fund, is a no-load, open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 22,
1992 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"). The Bunker Hill Money Market Fund's Class D Shares are subject to a
Distribution Plan. Each of the Funds, other than the International Equity and
High Income Funds, has been classified as non-diversified. As provided in the
1940 Act, a diversified fund has, with respect to at least 75% of its total
assets, no more than 5% of its total assets invested in the securities of one
issuer, plus cash and cash items, Government securities, and securities of other
investment companies.
 
The objective of the Global Short Bond, Global Fixed Income, Global Balanced,
U.S. Government, Limited Maturity, Short Bond, Intermediate Bond, Investment
Quality Bond and Total Return Funds is to realize a high level of total return
consistent with preservation of capital. The Limited Maturity Fund further seeks
to earn a total return that, over time, is greater than that available from
money market funds. In order to achieve these objectives, each Fund invests
primarily in debt obligations. The Limited Maturity, Short Bond, Intermediate
Bond, Investment Quality Bond and Total Return Funds invest in debt obligations
of the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agencies, U.S. dollar-denominated foreign
and domestic public corporations and mortgage-backed securities. The U.S.
Government Fund primarily invests in debt obligations of the U.S. Treasury, U.S.
government agencies and mortgage-backed securities.
 
The Global Short Bond and Global Fixed Income Funds invest primarily in U.S. and
foreign government notes and bonds and U.S. and foreign corporate debt
securities. The Global Short Bond, Global Fixed Income and Total Return Funds
can also have substantial investments in foreign currency contracts. The
objective of the Short Duration Tax Exempt and Tax Exempt Bond Funds is to earn
federal tax-free income by investing in debt obligations which are exempt from
federal income tax and consistent with preservation of capital. The objective of
the Market Return Fund is to provide a total return in excess of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500 Index"). To
 
                                                             ANNUAL REPORT    75
<PAGE>   79
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
October 31, 1998
 
achieve this objective, the Market Return Fund invests primarily in equity-based
investments, such as stock index futures contracts and equity swap contracts, as
well as in fixed income securities.
 
The objective of the Global Balanced Fund is to realize a high level of total
return consistent with preservation of capital. This Fund invests in common
stocks, bonds and money market instruments of both domestic and foreign issuers.
The Global Balanced Fund can also have investments in foreign currency
contracts.
 
The objective of the International Equity Fund is long-term capital
appreciation. This Fund invests in equity securities (common and preferred
stock) of issuers whose corporate headquarters are outside the United States
("foreign equities"). Normally, the Fund's assets are invested in securities of
issuers headquartered in at least five different countries.
 
The Growth & Income Fund seeks to provide growth of capital and some current
income. To achieve these objectives the Growth & Income Fund normally invests
approximately half of its assets in the ten stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial
Average with the highest dividend yields. This strategy is commonly referred to
as investing in the "dogs" of the Dow. The remaining assets are invested in
securities intended to replicate the total return of the S&P 500 Index, normally
Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts or additional common stocks.
 
The European Growth & Income Fund normally invests its assets in common stocks
of approximately ten issuers located in each of France, Germany, the Netherlands
and the United Kingdom. In each country, the Fund selects the ten stocks with
the highest dividend yield. These stocks come from among the thirty issuers with
the largest market capitalizations which are included in each country's leading
stock index. The Fund, also known as the "Euro Dogs" Fund, follows investment
objectives and policies that are analogous to the Group's Growth & Income Fund.
 
The Bunker Hill Money Market Fund invests in only high-quality corporate, bank,
and government debt instruments that Payden & Rygel (the "Adviser") believes
present minimal credit risk. To be considered high-quality, a security generally
must be rated in one of the two highest categories for short-term securities by
at least two nationally recognized rating services or, if unrated, must be
determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund must limit its
investments to securities with remaining maturities of 397 days or less and must
maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less.
 
The High Income Fund invests in a portfolio of higher yielding, below investment
grade bonds. Securities below investment grade are speculative and subject to
greater market fluctuations and greater risk of loss of principal and income
than higher rated bonds. The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in high
yield bonds and up to 20% of its total assets in convertible bonds, preferred
stocks, Brady bonds or "emerging market" bonds.
 
 76   PAYDEN & RYGEL INVESTMENT GROUP
<PAGE>   80
 
The Value Stock Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks
with a value discipline. Companies selected for investment exhibit one or more
of the following criteria: (a) a share price which appears to be inexpensive
relative to the growth rate of cash flow or the growth rate of sales; (b) an
ability to generate free cash flow internally; and (c) a positive catalyst,
e.g., a new product.
 
The Growth Stock Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in
stocks with a growth discipline. Companies selected for investment exhibit one
or more of the following criteria: (a) a potential expansion in profitability
based on factors such as industry and the company's competitive advantages; (b)
a potential to achieve above average returns on equity; and (c) above average
growth in earnings before interest and taxes.
 
There can, however, be no assurance that any of the Funds' investment objectives
will be achieved.
 
Each of the Funds offer Class R shares. The Bunker Hill Money Market Fund also
offers Class D shares. Class D shares are subject to certain fees under a
distribution plan (the "Distribution Plan"); Class R shares do not participate
in the Distribution Plan. Class D shares pay the Distributor an annual fee of up
to 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to Class D
shares, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
 
The Group is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of each class,
which are units of beneficial interest.
 
2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds:
 
Securities Valuation
 
Domestic and foreign fixed income securities and other assets for which market
quotations are readily available (other than obligations with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less) are valued on the basis of quotations obtained
from dealers or pricing services with consideration of such factors as
institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, quality, yield,
coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market
data. Options, futures, swaps and other similar assets are valued at the last
available bid price in the case of listed securities or on the basis of
information provided by the institution with which the Fund entered into the
transaction in the case of other securities. Investments in investment companies
are valued at their net asset values as reported by such companies. Securities
for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value
as determined in good faith pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of
Trustees. Debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are
valued on an amortized cost basis unless the Adviser determines that such basis
does not represent fair value. Non-U.S.

dollar securities are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot exchange rate
at the close of the London market. The differences between cost and market of
investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
Equity securities listed or traded on any domestic (U.S.) securities exchange
are valued at the last sale prices or, if there have been no sales during the
day, at the last bid prices. Securities traded only on the over-the-counter
market are valued at the latest bid prices. Foreign equity securities are valued
based upon the last sale prices on the foreign exchange or market on which they
are principally traded as of the close of the appropriate exchange or, if there
have been no sales during the day, at the last bid prices. Money market
investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under
the amortized cost valuation method, discount or premium is amortized on a
constant basis to the maturity of the security.
 
Investment Transactions and Related Income
 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased
or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. All
premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted for both financial statement
and tax reporting purposes as required by Federal income tax regulations.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses on
investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The Global
Short Bond, Global Fixed Income, Global Balanced, International Equity and Total
Return Funds may purchase securities that are payable in foreign currencies. For
these five Funds, investment securities, other assets and liabilities
denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the
current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and
expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the
dates of the transactions.
 
Each of these five Funds isolates that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
 
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and
maturities of securities, purchases and sales of foreign currencies, currency
gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of securities
transactions, and the differences between the amounts of interest or expenses
recorded on each of these Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalents of the
amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and
losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including
investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

Repurchase Agreements
 
Any of the Funds may enter into repurchase agreements (agreements to purchase
U.S. Treasury notes and bills, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase
them at a specified time and price) with well-established registered securities
dealers or banks. Repurchase agreements are the equivalent of loans by the
Funds. With respect to such agreements, it is each Fund's policy to take
possession of the underlying securities and, on a daily basis, mark-to-market
such securities to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at
least equal to the amount to be repaid to each Fund under each agreement.
 
Options Transactions
 
When any of the Funds (except the Bunker Hill Money Market Fund, which does not
invest in any option transactions) writes a covered call or put option, an
amount equal to the premium received is included in that Fund's statement of
assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is
subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option.
If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters
into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written
call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the
underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium
originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the
security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As writer of
an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are
subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market
risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the
written option.
 
When any of the Funds (except Bunker Hill Money Market Fund, which does not
invest in any option transactions) purchases a call or put option, an amount
equal to the premium paid is included in that Fund's statement of assets and
liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect
the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated
expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or
loss is realized. If a Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security
acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a Fund exercises a
put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security,
and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid.
Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.
 
The option techniques are used to hedge against changes in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates or security prices in order to establish more
definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to
be acquired by a Fund, to reduce the volatility of the currency exposure
associated with investment in non-U.S. securities, or as an efficient means of
adjusting exposure to the bond, equity and currency markets and not for
speculation.

Futures Contracts
 
Any Fund (except the Bunker Hill Money Market Fund) may purchase or sell futures
contracts and options on futures contracts, which provide for the future sale by
one party and purchase by another party of a specified quantity of a financial
instrument or foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Upon entering
into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral
such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded.
Pursuant to the contract, that Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker
an amount equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such
receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded as
unrealized gains or losses by that Fund. When the contract is closed, that Fund
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the
contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The
Funds may invest in futures contracts to hedge against anticipated future
changes in interest or exchange rates or security prices. The potential risk to
the Funds is that the change in value of the underlying securities may not
correlate to the change in value of the contracts, or that the counterparty
defaults.
 
The Market Return, Global Balanced, Growth & Income, European Growth & Income,
International Equity, Value Stock and Growth Stock Funds may invest in stock
index futures contracts, each of which is an agreement pursuant to which two
parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the
difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day
of the contract and the price at which the index contract was originally
written. Variation margin accounting procedures as discussed above apply to
these index futures contracts. Each Fund invests in these futures contracts to
meet its objectives at a lower cost than investing directly in equity
securities, while permitting the equivalent of an investment in a portfolio of
equity securities. The potential risk to a Fund is that the change in value of
the underlying index may not correlate to the change in value of the contracts.
 
Equity Swap Contracts
 
The Market Return, Global Balanced, Growth & Income and European Growth & Income
Funds may enter into equity swap transactions, each of which involves an
agreement between the Fund and another party to exchange payments calculated as
if they were interest on a fictitious ("notional") principal amount. A Fund will
typically pay a floating rate of interest and receive the total return of a
specified equity index. A Fund usually enters into such transactions on a "net"
basis, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net
amounts of the two payment streams. The net amount of the excess or deficiency,
if any, of the Fund's obligations over its entitlements with respect to each
swap is accrued on a daily basis and is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss
by that Fund.
 
These Funds invest in swap transactions to permit the Funds to meet their
objectives at a lower cost than investing directly in equity securities, while
permitting the equivalent of an investment in a
 
 80   PAYDEN & RYGEL INVESTMENT GROUP
<PAGE>   84
 
portfolio of equity securities. The potential risk to a Fund is that the swap
position may correlate imperfectly with the markets or the asset or liability
being hedged, or that its counterparty defaults.
 
Forward Currency Contracts
 
The Global Short Bond, Global Fixed Income, Total Return, High Income, Market
Return, European Growth & Income, Global Balanced and International Equity Funds
each may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase
or sale of specific foreign currencies at fixed prices on future dates. Risks
may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated
movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. These
eight Funds enter into forward contracts as a hedge against specific
transactions or portfolio positions to protect against adverse currency
movements. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the
daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are
recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract
settlement date, at which time a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and
the value at the time it was closed.
 
Delayed Delivery Transactions
 
Any of the Funds may purchase securities on a when issued or delayed delivery
basis and sell securities on a delayed delivery basis. These transactions
involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a
predetermined price or yield with payment and delivery taking place more than
three days in the future, or after a period longer than the customary settlement
period for that type of security. No interest will be earned by a Fund on such
purchases until the securities are delivered; however, the market value may
change prior to delivery.
 
TBA Sale Commitments
 
The Funds may enter into TBA sale commitments, such as dollar roll agreements,
to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns
under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not
received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale
commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting
TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are
held as "cover" for the transaction.
 
Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the
underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under
"Securities Valuation" above. The contract is "marked-to-market" daily and the
change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If
the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an
 
                                                             ANNUAL REPORT    81
<PAGE>   85
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
October 31, 1998
 
offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale
of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the
commitment was entered into.
 
Distributions to Shareholders
 
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends
from net investment income and net realized gains on foreign currency
transactions are declared and paid monthly for all Funds, except for (i) the
International Equity, Global Balanced, European Growth & Income, High Income and
Growth & Income Funds which are declared and paid quarterly, (ii) the Value
Stock and Growth Stock Funds which are declared and paid semi-annually, and
(iii) the Bunker Hill Money Market Fund which are declared daily and paid
monthly. Net realized gains on investments, if any, are declared and distributed
at least annually. All distributions are paid in the form of additional shares
unless cash payment is requested.
 
Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Federal Income Taxes
 
It is the policy of each Fund to meet the requirements for qualification as a
regulated investment company as defined in applicable sections of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to make distributions of net
investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all
Federal income or excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income or
excise tax is necessary.
 
Each Fund files a tax return annually using tax accounting methods required
under provisions of the Code, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles, the basis on which these financial statements are
prepared. The differences arise primarily from the treatment of foreign currency
transactions and futures contracts and the deferral of certain losses under
Federal income tax regulations. Accordingly, the amounts of net investment
income and net realized gains or losses reported in these financial statements
may differ from those reported in each Fund's tax return and, consequently, the
character of distributions to shareholders reported in the financial highlights
may differ from that reported to shareholders for Federal income tax purposes.
 
Distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized gains for
financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes, if any, are shown as
distributions in excess of net investment income and net realized gains in the
accompanying statements. Return of capital distributions and net investment
losses for tax purposes are reclassified to paid in capital.

Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
Other
 
Shared expenses incurred by the Group are allocated among the series of the
Group on the basis of relative net assets. Series-specific expenses are charged
to each series as incurred. Fund expenses not specific to any class are
allocated between the classes based upon net assets of each class. Class-
specific expenses are charged to each Class as incurred.

  INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Payden & Rygel Investment Group
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of portfolio investments, of Payden & Rygel Investment Group (the
"Funds"), including Payden & Rygel Global Short Bond Fund, Payden & Rygel Global
Fixed Income Fund, Payden & Rygel Global Balanced Fund, Payden & Rygel
International Equity Fund, Payden & Rygel European Growth & Income Fund, Payden
& Rygel Growth & Income Fund, Payden & Rygel Market Return Fund, Payden & Rygel
Limited Maturity Fund, Payden & Rygel Short Bond Fund, Payden & Rygel U.S.
Government Fund, Payden & Rygel Intermediate Bond Fund, Payden & Rygel
Investment Quality Bond Fund, Payden & Rygel Total Return Fund, Payden & Rygel
Short Duration Tax Exempt Fund, Payden & Rygel Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Payden &
Rygel Bunker Hill Money Market Fund, Payden & Rygel High Income Fund, Payden &
Rygel Value Stock Fund and Payden & Rygel Growth Stock Fund as of October 31,
1998, the related statements of operations for the period then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds' 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
October 31, 1998, by correspondence with the Funds' custodians 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, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Funds as of October 31, 1998, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets, and the financial highlights for the respective stated
periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
