Dear Shareholders:

The six months ended April 30, 1999 were extraordinarily successful for Payden &
Rygel Investment Group. Our mutual funds continued to grow, we successfully
launched three new mutual funds, and we received frequent recognition in the
financial press for the consistent performance of several of our key strategies.
Most importantly, it's the bottom line that matters: we are pleased to report
that we provided our shareholders with strong performance in virtually all
investment categories.

Consistently providing attractive returns is our primary objective and is the
key to our past and current success. It is important to emphasize that our
performance can be attributed to the single most significant investment theme
that dominates our culture, approach, and process: our belief in the critical
importance of portfolio risk management in all economic environments.

Looking back over the past six months, investors could easily conclude that the
world is a significantly different place. Late last year, the financial markets
were dominated by the themes of global crisis, collapsing hedge funds, domestic
political scandal, and unparalleled market volatility. Today, almost all of that
seems to be forgotten.

Headlines in the financial press during the first half of 1999 have been
dominated by stories relating to the Dow's crossing the 10,000 point milestone.
Soon after that, we saw the Dow cross 11,000. As the U.S. stock market hits new
highs almost daily, and as several global economies make impressive economic
recoveries, the world certainly appears to have changed. Nonetheless, we remain
focused and objective in this time of rapid change.

Examples of specific fund highlights during the period include the following:

The Payden & Rygel High Income Fund was ranked fifth out of 246 funds within the
Lipper High Yield group./1/  Despite significant volatility in the high yield
market, the Fund's emphasis on comprehensive fundamental credit research and
risk management allowed it to avoid the many pitfalls that plagued the market
recently. The Fund's performance has resulted in recognition in several
publications including U.S. News and World Report, the Wall Street Journal, Dow
Jones Investment Advisor and Financial Planning Magazine.

Our Total Return Fund, which uses a broad-based strategy employing a number of
diverse fixed-income sectors, has significantly outperformed its benchmark
during the past six months, and


/1/ Ranking entity: Lipper, Inc. Rankings based on the 1-year return for the
    period ending 12/31/98.
<PAGE>

was ranked second among fixed-income funds for 1-year performance by Pension &
Investments in its May 3, 1999 issue./2/

The Payden & Rygel Global Fixed Income Fund has continued to receive favorable
mention in the financial press, including recent articles in both U.S. News and
World Report and Fortune magazine. In order to reduce risk and volatility, the
Fund has predominately hedged foreign currency exposure relative to the U.S.
dollar. This has significantly contributed to our ability to provide our
investors with excellent risk-adjusted returns.

During the past six months, we introduced three new mutual funds that expand our
investor's ability to take advantage of changes in the European capital markets,
provide improved tax-efficiency, and offer exposure to emerging market
countries.

 . Our EuroDirect Fund invests in European stocks and bonds and will take
  advantage of new market segments and instruments brought on by the recent
  introduction of the Euro currency. In addition, changes in the investment
  culture due to reforms promoting the use of private pension plans offer
  significant potential in the European equity markets.

 . Our California Municipal Income Fund is a high quality investment fund with
  the objective of generating high current income that is exempt from Federal
  and California State income tax. This fund is suitable for California
  residents who seek high after-tax income.

 . Our Emerging Markets Bond Fund uses a diversified approach to securities in
  emerging market countries. This Fund reduces foreign currency risk by focusing
  primarily on securities denominated in U.S. dollars. Due to its low
  correlation to other asset classes, this fund is an excellent vehicle to
  diversify allocations to other fixed-income sectors.

We have you, the shareholder, to thank for making these new products successful
additions to the Payden & Rygel family of mutual funds.

Sincerely,

/s/ Joan Payden

 Management Discussion and Analysis
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equity Markets
The US stock market recovered extremely well from the problems in the late
summer, posting one of the strongest six-month returns in history. Equity
investors seemed to toss away their earlier worries about a global financial
catastrophe and the effect on corporate earnings. However, concerns regarding
the breadth of the market remained. The stock market recovery, in large part,
was confined to only the largest blue chip growth stocks, or seemingly anything
to do with the internet.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 1999, the Growth & Income Fund gained
19.35%. This slightly lagged the S&P 500 Stock Index gain of 22.32%. The Fund,
of course, is the largest mutual fund following the "dogs of the Dow" strategy.
The strategy is really a value style, as it hopes to capture good companies
that have temporarily fallen on hard times, and that are identified as "cheap"
by their high dividend yield. In the past few years, the market has not seemed
to care about traditional valuation measures, and particularly about stocks
that have a value theme. Since there is nothing with ".com" on it in the Dow
Jones Industrial Average, these stocks have not been an area of focus.

The Growth & Income Fund was helped by the performance of such stocks as J.P.
Morgan and Caterpillar Inc., which gained 45.5% and 44.9%, respectively, in the
six months ended April 30, 1999. Exposure to international markets proved
valuable to both companies as the global economic crisis eased and the outlook
for future growth improved. While the Fund lagged the S&P 500 Stock Index over
the past 12 months, it comfortably beat the index of large company value
stocks, known as the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index, by more than 4%. We continue to
believe that the "dogs of the Dow" strategy has great merit, particularly as a
large company value style strategy. Morningstar apparently thinks so, too, as
they added the Fund to their select Morningstar 500. This is Payden & Rygel's
second fund in that prestigious group.

One of the special features of the Growth & Income Fund is the tax efficiency
factor. Because there is so little turnover and the minimum holding period for
an investment is one year, the after-tax return of the Fund is outstanding.
During calendar year 1998, the Growth & Income Fund had an after-tax return
that put it in the top 10% of all large cap value stock funds, as measured by
Morningstar./1/ Since many of us at Payden & Rygel are also shareholders in the
Funds, we are careful to pay attention to issues like this that are often
overlooked in the large fund houses.

The Market Return Fund gained 21.78% for the six months ended April 30, 1999.
The Fund, which is a combination of a short-term bond fund and S&P 500 futures,
performed consistently with the overall market. It is an excellent vehicle for
IRAs and other tax-deferred investments.

 Management Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the six months ended April 30, 1999, the Small Cap Growth Stock Fund gained
18.65% and the Small Cap Value Stock Fund gained 10.81%. While this has been
one of the most difficult markets in history for small cap stocks, both our
Funds beat the benchmark S&P SmallCap 600 Index return of 9.01%.

The European Growth & Income Fund gained 9.32% for the six months ended April
30, 1999, at the same time the Dow Jones Europe STOXX index advanced 11.82%.
This Fund is the European "cousin" to our Growth & Income Fund. The launch of
the Euro this year also precipitated an adjustment in the methodology of the
Fund. We expanded the universe from four European markets to all fifteen
markets of the European Monetary Union (EMU). In addition, we altered our value
screen so that it would work across the fifteen (rather than just the four)
markets. This led us to focus on the "peg ratio" for each issuer, which is the
price to earnings ratio divided by the long-term growth rate of the company.
This methodology captures companies with good long-term growth prospects that
are cheap. The other factors in the strategy remain the same, as we still buy
only the largest companies in Europe, and we still hold investments for at
least one year from date of purchase. The Fund's goal is very similar in
concept to what the dogs of the Dow is trying to capture in the US.

The Global Balanced Fund returned 12.80% for the six months ended April 30,
1999, significantly outperforming the 10.58% advance of its 60% stock/40% bond
benchmark despite being more conservative and evenly balanced than its
benchmark for much of the year. By maintaining exposure to select Asian equity
markets throughout the period, the Fund participated in the precipitous rally
occurring in the region in 1999. The bond component also added stability, as
the Fund continued to have relatively low variability of return. 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.

Bond Markets
The dynamics of the US fixed-income market have changed considerably over the
past few quarters. Market levels have moved sharply from the levels observed in
the fall of last year. In the aftermath of last fall's flight-to-quality, US
Treasury rates have risen about 1%, from 4.8% to 5.8%, while mortgage and
corporate spreads and market volatility have all moved significantly lower.

Though higher Treasury rates are generally a negative for bond portfolios, our
Investment Quality Bond and Total Return Funds have both performed
exceptionally in this environment due to our overweight of non-Treasury
securities, such as mortgages, corporates and asset-backs. Both of these Funds,
which have average maturities ranging from five to seven years, have out-
performed their benchmarks year-to-date through April 30, 1999. In addition,
the 2.91% performance of the Total Return Fund during the six months ended
April 30, 1999 was

2    Payden & Rygel Investment Group
<PAGE>

enhanced by our allocation to additional sectors such as convertible bonds,
certain higher yielding corporate bonds, and emerging market securities. The
U.S. Government Fund performed well due to its allocation to agency securities
and agency mortgage-backed securities.

Our shorter maturity funds have also performed well in this environment. The
Limited Maturity and Short Bond Funds continue to be rated five and four
stars,/2/ respectively, by Morningstar with returns of 2.39% and 1.72%, while
the Bunker Hill Fund was ranked in the top quartile for all institutional money
market funds./3/ These funds performed well in this environment due to the
relatively short maturity and the overweighting of corporate and asset backed
issues.

Our High Income Fund and our Emerging Markets Bond Fund provide investors with
exposure to sectors outside the traditional core bond universe; both Funds have
been strong performers. Our High Income Fund, which emphasizes comprehensive
fundamental credit research, has benefited from a favorable upgrade to
downgrade ratio, with several bonds upgraded into investment grade. This focus
on managing risk resulted in the Fund outperforming its Merrill Lynch High
Yield Master Index by 260 basis points in 1998, and year-to-date through April
30, 1999, the Fund is outperforming its benchmark by 120 basis points. Our
Emerging Markets Bond Fund has also performed well, as emerging markets debt
spreads have narrowed by about 500 basis points since the Brazilian devaluation
in January of this year.

Both the Global Fixed Income Fund and Global Short Bond Fund finished 1998
strongly, as declining global bond yields pushed prices higher. Currency
hedging protected both Funds from foreign currency depreciation and helped
boost income, as deposit rates in the US remained higher than Europe or Japan.
The early months of 1999 have witnessed a shift in this trend, with bond yields
rising, especially in US treasuries. The resulting lower bond prices have
dampened performance. For the six months ended April 30, 1999, the Global Fixed
Income Fund earned 2.30% and the Global Short Bond Fund earned 2.31%.

January 1999 marked the introduction of the Euro currency. Participant
countries now share a common monetary policy and the same short term interest
rates as dictated by the new European Central Bank (ECB). Accordingly, bond
yields in EMU countries, such as Spain and Italy, have all but converged to
German yields, leaving only a small yield spread representing the credit
differential of issuers.

    Morningstar's proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted

    calculated from each 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 and the next 22.5% receive four stars.

 Management Discussion and Analysis (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slowing economic activity across Europe prompted rate cuts by the ECB and the
Bank of England. The German 10-year government bond yield experienced
volatility during the past six months, but finished April at 4.1%. In the
United Kingdom, which is not yet an EMU participant, yields fell 0.5% to 4.6%.
Japanese 10-year bond yields rose 0.5% to 1.3%.

Since the Euro was introduced, it has depreciated 9% against the dollar. The
dollar has also appreciated against the yen. However, the current levels seem
to remain stuck in this range as Japan aims to increase exchange rate
stability.

Both the Short Duration Tax Exempt and Tax Exempt Bond Funds posted strong
performance for the six month period ended April 30, 1999, due primarily to our
emphasis on bonds in the intermediate portion of the yield curve. Despite the
fact that municipal yields rose over the period, the Tax Exempt Bond Fund
earned 1.54%. The Short Duration Tax Exempt Fund earned a higher return over
the period, 1.65%, due to the Fund's shorter maturity orientation in a rising
interest rate environment. The California Municipal Income Fund debuted in
December of 1998, and for the four months ended April 30, 1999, it earned
1.06%. The heavy demand for California bonds in a period of low supply caused
the yield spread on several issues to compress, also contributing to the
overall return.

Balanced Fund, Payden & Rygel European Growth & Income Fund, Payden & Rygel
International Equity Fund, and Payden & Rygel EuroDirect Fund (the "Funds") is
a series of The Payden & Rygel Investment Group (the "Group"). The Group 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"). Each of the Funds, other than the
High Income, Bunker Hill Money Market and International Equity 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, Government
securities, and securities of other investment companies.

The Limited Maturity Fund seeks a total return that, over time, is greater than
money market funds and is consistent with the preservation of capital, and each
of the Short Bond, U.S. Government, Investment Quality Bond and Total Return
Funds seeks a high level of total return consistent with preservation of
capital. In order to achieve these objectives, each of these Funds invests
primarily in debt obligations.

Each of the Limited Maturity, Short Bond and Investment Quality Bond Funds
invests in a wide variety of investment grade debt securities payable primarily
in U.S. dollars, including (1) debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government and foreign governments and their agencies and
instrumentalities, political subdivisions of foreign governments and
supranational organizations, (2) debt securities and commercial paper issued by
U.S. and foreign companies, and (3) U.S. and foreign mortgage-backed and asset-
backed bonds.

The U.S. Government Fund invests in U.S. Government Obligations, i.e., U.S.
Treasury bonds, notes and bills and other bonds and obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, or
Federal agencies.

The Total Return Fund invests in a wide variety of debt instruments and income-
producing securities, payable in both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies,
including (1) debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and
foreign governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, political
subdivisions of foreign governments and supranational organizations, (2) debt
securities and commercial paper issued by U.S. and foreign companies, (3) U.S.
and foreign mortgage-backed and asset-backed bonds, (4) dividend-paying
convertible stock, and (5) convertible bonds and preferred stock. The Fund
generally invests in investment grade debt securities, but may invest up to 25%
of its assets in below investment grade debt securities. Securities rated 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 High Income Fund seeks high current income while providing for capital
appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of higher yielding, below
investment grade bonds. The Fund invests at least 65% of its assets in below
investment grade bonds and up to 20% of its assets in convertible bonds,
preferred stocks, or bonds of issuers from "emerging market" countries.

The Bunker Hill Money Market Fund seeks to provide investors with liquidity, a
stable share price, and as high a level of current income as is consistent with
the preservation of principal and liquidity. The Fund invests only in high-
quality corporate, bank and government debt securities, and these debt
securities are rated only in the highest category for short-term securities by
at least two nationally recognized rating services or, if unrated, must be
determined by Payden & Rygel (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.

Each of the Short Duration Tax Exempt, Tax Exempt Bond and California Municipal
Income Funds seeks to earn federal tax-free income, consistent with
preservation of capital. Each of the Funds invests at least 80% of its assets
in debt obligations which pay interest income exempt from federal income tax.
In addition, the California Municipal Income Fund seeks to earn income that is
exempt for California state income tax, and invests at least 65% of its assets
in debt obligations which pay interest income exempt from California personal
income tax. Each of the Funds may invest up to 25% of its assets in below
investment grade securities.

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

68  Payden & Rygel Investment Group
<PAGE>

Dow." The remaining assets are invested in equity-based derivative instruments
intended to replicate the total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index
("S&P 500" Index), normally Standard & Poor's Depository Receipts, and equity
index mutual funds.

The Market Return Fund seeks a total return in excess of the S&P 500 Index. To
achieve this objective, the Market Return Fund divides the investment of its
assets between a portfolio of debt and other income-producing securities and a
portfolio of equity-based derivative instruments, such as stock index futures
contracts and equity swap contracts.

The Small Cap Value Stock Fund (formerly called 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 is low relative to the growth rate of the
company's cash flow and/or the growth rate of its sales; (b) a demonstrated
ability to generate free cash flow internally; and (c) a positive catalyst,
e.g., a new product, management change, or successful implementation of a
business plan.

The Small Cap Growth Stock Fund (formerly called 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) the potential of sustainable levels of profitability greater than
their current levels, based on factors such as industry profit levels and
competitiveness and the company's competitive advantages; (b) the potential to
achieve above average returns on equity through the efficient use of assets and
adequate margins; and (c) above average growth in earnings before interest and
taxes.

Each of the Global Short Bond and Global Fixed Income Funds seeks a high level
of total return consistent with preservation of capital. Each of the Funds
invests in a wide variety of investment grade debt securities payable in U.S.
dollars and foreign currencies, including (1) debt obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government and foreign governments and their agencies
and instrumentalities, political subdivisions of foreign governments and
supranational organizations, (2) debt securities and commercial paper issued by
U.S. and foreign companies, and (3) U.S. and foreign mortgage-backed and asset-
backed bonds.

The Emerging Markets Bond Fund seeks a high level of total return. The Fund
invests at least 75% of its assets in debt securities issued by governments,
agencies and instrumentalities of emerging market countries, and corporations
organized or headquartered in emerging market countries. Substantially all of
these securities are rated below investment grade.

The Global Balanced Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund divides
the investment of its assets between a common stock portfolio and a debt
securities portfolio. The investment process includes allocation decisions
between debt securities and common stocks, between U.S. issuers and foreign
issuers, between issuers in Japan and issuers in other foreign countries and
between securities payable in U.S. dollars and in foreign currencies.

As indicated below in Note 6, Fund Termination, the International Equity Fund
is scheduled to close on June 30, 1999.

The European Growth & Income Fund seeks capital appreciation and some current
income. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of approximately 60 issuers
organized or headquartered in European countries with developed capital
markets. These issuers have the lowest "peg ratios" of the common stocks with
the largest market capitalizations in Europe. A company's "peg ratio" is the
ratio of the company's current price/earnings ratio as compared to the latest
published long-term earnings per share growth forecast for the company.

The EuroDirect Fund seeks long term capital appreciation. The Fund divides the
investment of its assets between an equity portfolio and a debt securities
portfolio of companies primarily located in European countries with developed
capital markets, and the securities may be payable in U.S. dollars and in
foreign currencies. The investment approach is analogous to that employed by
the Global Balanced Fund.

There can, however, be no assurance that any of the Funds' investment
objectives will be achieved.

The Group is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units
of beneficial interest. Each of the Funds offers Class R shares.

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

70  Payden & Rygel Investment Group
<PAGE>

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 which may have a bid-ask spread greater than ten (10) basis points
may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees,
with reference to fixed income securities the prices of which are more readily
obtainable and the risk of which is comparable to the securities being valued.
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. Each of the
Total Return, High Income, Market Return, Global Short Bond, Global Fixed
Income, Emerging Markets Bond, Global Balanced, European Growth & Income,
International Equity and EuroDirect Funds may purchase securities that are
payable in foreign currencies. For each of these Funds, investment securities,
other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign

                                                         Semi-Annual Report   71
<PAGE>

 Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 30, 1999

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 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

Each 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 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.

72  Payden & Rygel Investment Group
<PAGE>

When any of the Funds (except Bunker Hill Money Market Fund, which does not
invest in 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 utilized are 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

Each 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 fluctuations 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.

Each of the Total Return, High Income, Growth & Income, Market Return, Small
Cap Value Stock, Small Cap Growth Stock, Global Balanced, European Growth &
Income, International Equity and EuroDirect Funds may invest in stock index
futures contracts, which are agreements 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

                                                         Semi-Annual Report   73
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 30, 1999

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 permit the Fund 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

Each of the Total Return, Growth & Income, Market Return, Global Balanced and
International Equity Funds may enter into equity swap transactions, which
involve 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 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.

Forward Currency Contracts

Each of the Total Return, High Income, Market Return, Global Short Bond, Global
Fixed Income, Emerging Markets Bond, Global Balanced, European Growth & Income,
International Equity and EuroDirect Funds each may enter into forward foreign
currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign
currency at a fixed price on a future date. 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.

74  Payden & Rygel Investment Group
<PAGE>

TBA Sale Commitments

Each Fund may enter into TBA sale commitments, such as dollar roll agreements,
to hedge its portfolio position or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns
under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds from 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
underling securities, generally according to the procedures described under
"Securities Valuation" above. The contact is "marked-to-market" daily and the
change in the 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
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.

Delayed Delivery Transactions

Each Fund 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.

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
Emerging Markets Bond, Global Balanced, International Equity, European Growth &
Income, Growth & Income and High Income Funds which are declared and paid
quarterly, (ii) the EuroDirect, Small Cap Value Stock and Small Cap Growth
Stock Funds which are declared and paid semi-annually, and (iii) the Bunker
Hill Money Market Fund which accrued daily and declared and paid monthly. Net
realized gains on investments, if any, are declared and distributed at least

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 (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.

Each Fund remains liable to Payden & Rygel for expenses subsidized in any
fiscal year so long as any reimbursement will not cause the annual expense
ratio for the year in which it is made to exceed the amount of the expense
guarantee or expense limit (whichever is in effect at the time of
reimbursement). The deferred expense subsidies, as identified in the statements
of assets and liabilities, represent the cumulative amount of expenses
subsidized for the Funds and will be recognized as net expense in the
statements of operations as expense previously deferred in future periods, if
expense limits permit.

For each of the Global Balanced, International Equity, European Growth & Income
and EuroDirect Funds, the Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement
with Metzler/Payden LLC where the Advisor passes through to the sub-advisor

represent a separate or additional charge against the Funds. Metzler/Payden LLC
is a joint venture between the Advisor and Metzler Asset Management GmbH, an
affiliate of B. Metzler seel. Sohn & Co. Holding AG, a major German financial
institution located in Frankfurt, Germany. Metzler/Payden LLC is owned 50% by
the Advisor and 50% by MP&R Ventures, Inc. a Metzler affiliate.

Treasury Plus, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Payden & Rygel, serves as
administrator to the Group. Under the terms of the administration agreement,
Treasury Plus, Inc. receives fees monthly, computed on the average daily net
assets of the Group at an annualized rate of 0.06%.

Investors Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC"), a Missouri trust company, serves as
transfer agent to the Funds. Under the terms of the transfer agency agreement,
IFTC is entitled to receive fees based upon a specified amount per shareholder
with specified minimum-per-Fund amounts and surcharges, plus certain out-of-
pocket expenses. IFTC also serves as fund accountant. Under the terms of the
fund accounting agreement, IFTC receives fees based on specified minimum-per-
Group amounts, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses.
