Dear Shareholders
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a year that was dominated by themes of both market volatility and fragile
global recovery, it is our "no surprises" investment philosophy that has
allowed us to weather the storm.
  Late last year, the global financial markets were in an upheaval, the
collapse of the world's largest hedge fund had sent shockwaves throughout the
financial world, and the domestic political climate was still dealing with
scandal. Today, almost all of that seems to have been forgotten.
  The focus in 1999 has been on the equity markets, global economic recovery,
Year 2000 readiness, the Dow's crossing of the 11,000 point milestone, and the
introduction and subsequent volatility of the Euro.
  Since November 1, 1998, we have introduced six new funds that have attracted
new, as well as existing, investors. We feel that our newest fund offerings
have expanded our investors' ability to participate in the opportunities that
evolving global markets provide.

  .Our GNMA Fund is a new domestic bond fund that primarily invests in
  securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).
  These securities derive their cash flows from pools of mortgage loans that
  are backed by the U.S. government. We believe that this is an important fund
  offering and we are pleased that its 35 basis points expense ratio is one of
  the lowest of all the funds in its class.

  .Our EuroDirect and European Aggressive Growth Funds are subadvised by
  Metzler/Payden LLC, our joint venture with Metzler Bank of Frankfurt,
  Germany. The EuroDirect Fund invests in European stocks and bonds and looks
  to take advantage of new market segments and instruments brought on by the
  introduction of the Euro currency. We are excited about our European
  Aggressive Growth Fund, which allows our investors to invest in high-growth
  established and start-up corporations in the European Monetary Union. The
  Fund has experienced an impressive growth in assets through new investments
  and solid performance.

  .Our U.S. Growth Leaders Fund is the newest domestic equity offering. This
  fund invests in domestic, large capitalization companies that exhibit strong
  growth prospects.

  .Our Emerging Markets Bond Fund uses a diversified investment approach to
  purchasing securities in emerging market countries. Due to its low
  correlation to other asset classes, this Fund is an excellent vehicle with
  which to diversify allocations among other fixed income sectors.

  .Our California Municipal Income Fund seeks to provide our California
  investors with high after-tax current income that is exempt from Federal and
  California State income tax.
<PAGE>

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  . Our Global Fixed Income Fund was prominently featured in the October 4,
  1999 issue of Business Week. In an article entitled "Creating a Better Bond
  Fund Mix," Business Week built a diversified bond portfolio using their
  favorite funds from each sector. A 15% allocation to the Global Fixed Income
  fund was recommended as an integral component of their model fixed income
  portfolio.

  We are extremely proud to announce that the Growth & Income Fund and the
Global Short Bond Fund are the most recent Payden & Rygel funds to receive a
Morningstar Star Rating(TM). The Global Short Bond Fund received a five-star
rating and our Growth & Income Fund received a four-star rating /1/. In
addition the Growth & Income Fund received a rating of five out of five within
its "Large Value" category /2/.
  As we near the end of the twentieth century, we look back on our
accomplishments and are proud of what we have been able to deliver for our
investors. Looking forward, we strive to deliver the high quality investment
management, low institutional costs, and unrivaled service that you expect.
  We thank you for responding to our new product offerings so enthusiastically.
As always, we work for you.

Sincerely,

/s/ Joan A. Payden

Joan A. Payden
Chairman & CEO
Payden & Rygel Investment Group

/1/ The Morningstar ratings are for
the three-year period ending
October 31, 1999, out of a total
3,272 (3-year) domestic equity
funds for the Growth & Income Fund
and 1,598 (3-year) taxable bond
funds for the Global Short Bond
Fund. 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 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.
/2/ The Morningstar rating is for              [LOGO OF PAYDEN & RYGEL]
the three-year period ending

year) funds in Morningstar's
"Large Value" category and is
subject to change monthly. The
Category Rating is a quantitative
measure of risk adjusted returns
within the particular Morningstar
category. The objective of the
Category Rating is to show how
well a fund has balanced risk and
return relative to other funds in
the same Morningstar category. As
with the Star Rating, five is the
best rating attainable, with one
being the lowest.

     Management Discussion and Analysis
     ==================================

Fixed Income Markets
A year ago, concerns over the global financial crisis caused a "flight-to-
quality" as demand for liquidity and risk-free assets caused investors to
abandon non-U.S. Treasury securities in favor of government securities. In
1999, we have seen a partial reversal of this effect as interest rates have
risen and sectors such as mortgages and corporates have outperformed U.S.
Treasuries. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board reversed the three interest
rate cuts implemented in 1998 and returned the Fed Funds target rate to the
pre-crisis level of 5.5%. Though rates have risen, liquidity has not returned
to prior levels, and it is not clear how soon this will occur, given the focus
on Y2K.

Short Maturity Strategies

Our short-term bond funds were managed conservatively during the year with the
expectation of a rising rate environment. This helped significantly, as the
Limited Maturity Fund earned 4.71% during the fiscal year ended October 31,
1999, matching the return of the average institutional money market fund. The
Short Bond Fund earned 2.89%, versus 2.99% for the benchmark, for that same
period.

The U.S. Government Fund maintained its consistent performance. The Fund
returned 1.76% for the fiscal year, which placed it in the top quartile of the
Lipper Index. Over the last three years, the Fund has been 15th out of 77
funds/1/ and has outpaced the Lipper Index, returning 5.45% per year versus
4.89%.

The Bunker Hill Money Market Fund took advantage of the higher yields available
for investments maturing in the year 2000. By holding its average maturity
slightly longer than the typical money market fund, the Fund was able to
perform in the top of the Lipper money market index. The Fund returned 4.97%
for the fiscal year, which placed it 9th out of 332 funds for the last 12
months./2/

Intermediate Maturity Strategies

Although ten-year U.S. Treasury rates rose over 1.4% in the twelve months ended
October 31, 1999, both the Total Return Fund and Investment Quality Bond Fund
performed relatively well. This is largely due to the performance of certain
non-U.S. Treasury securities. Both Funds were positioned to take advantage of
the "flight-to-quality" reversal as both Funds were structured with an
overweight to mortgage securities. This allowed them to benefit from the spread
tightening which occurred during the year. In addition, the Total Return Fund
benefited from an allocation to emerging markets, which also experienced
significant tightening. As a result, despite the significant rise in interest
rates, the Total Return Fund earned 0.55% and the Investment Quality Bond Fund
returned -0.71%, for the twelve months ended October 31, 1999.

Global Markets & Strategies

During the past fiscal year, the global bond markets reacted negatively to the
recovery in worldwide economic activity. With economic growth steady or
accelerating in most of the world, bond prices are adjusting to the fact that
the bottom in inflation is behind us and the probability is growing that
consumer prices may rise in the present upswing.

     Management Discussion and Analysis
     ==================================

However, while we are unquestionably facing a very different environment than a
year ago, it is by no means certain that an upsurge in inflation is waiting in
the wings. Technological advancements and an increasingly competitive global
marketplace are changing the way businesses are run in Europe and Japan, just
as they have in the U.S. We believe the same forces that have held down
inflation in the U.S. will play a role overseas, but in different ways and to
varying degrees.

In the twelve months ended October 31, 1999, each of the Global Fixed Income
Fund and Global Short Bond Fund posted positive returns of 0.56% and 2.57%,
respectively. In particular, income earned over the year helped to offset the
fall in bond prices. In addition, aggressive currency hedging helped protect
both Funds from the 10% depreciation of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar this
year. Global diversification remains a prudent investment objective, and with
the corporate and mortgage-related bond issuance in Europe picking up
dramatically, we are poised to take advantage of these additional sectors in
each of these Funds going forward.

High Income and Emerging Markets

Both the High Income Fund and Emerging Markets Bond Fund have exposure to the
higher yielding sectors of the market. Over the past year, these sectors were
influenced by two different forces that can be categorized into two distinct
periods. In the first period from the end of 1998 to early 1999, the market
experienced an unwinding of the flight to quality that occurred earlier in the
fall of 1998. Spreads in the high yield and emerging markets segments tightened
substantially as the fears of a worst case scenario diminished. The second
period began in April 1999 and reintroduced some of the risk premium that had
previously been taken out of the market. The primary concern was the still
unclear path of the Federal Reserve Board's interest rate policy. This resulted
in enough uncertainty in the market to lead to spread widening.

Despite this spread widening, the magnitude of the spread tightening that
occurred earlier this year, combined with the higher yields of these asset
classes, meant that both of these Funds significantly outperformed comparable
U.S. Treasuries. The Emerging Markets Bond Fund returned 12.92% during the
fiscal year, and the High Income Fund returned 5.65% during that same period.
Further, selective industry positioning and individual credit selection enabled
the High Income Fund to outperform its benchmark by 100 basis points from
January through October 31, 1999.

Tax-Exempt Strategies

Interest rates rose by almost a full percent in the municipal market, as the
U.S. economy continued on its growth path. The Short Duration Tax Exempt Fund
posted a 2.29% total return for the fiscal year, despite rising interest rates.
The short maturity orientation of the portfolio was a positive contributor to
performance. The Tax Exempt Bond Fund and the California Municipal Income Fund
were more impacted by the rising interest rates. These portfolios have a longer
maturity orientation, which increases their price sensitivity to changes in
interest rates. The Tax Exempt Bond Fund had a -0.81% return for the fiscal
year. Strategies during the year were aimed at improving the credit quality of
the portfolio, buying premium coupon bonds, and including more short maturity
bonds than normal. The California Municipal Income Fund, which opened in
December 1998, had a -1.22% return since its inception. Yield premiums in the
California market were compressed throughout the year, as demand for state
exempt income outpaced the supply of bonds. We reduced the Fund's sensitivity
to rising interest rates by purchasing shorter maturity, premium coupon bonds.
Investments were made in select opportunities to add yield to the portfolio,
but we focused primarily on high quality investment grade credits.

                                                                              ii

     Management Discussion and Analysis continued
     ==================================

Equity Markets
Stocks were strong during this fiscal year. At this same time last year, many
investors were fearful from the collapse of Long Term Capital hedge fund and
from the debt default by Russia. However, the resiliency of the stock market
has been remarkable. With the baseline of strong corporate profits, the S&P 500
index gained 24.2%, led by the technology sector which rose 56%. It was also
another year when stocks characterized by a "growth" style continued to
outperform "value" stocks. The S&P 500/BARRA Growth index advanced 29.8%, while
the S&P 500/BARRA Value index rose 17.8%.

Our Funds continued to post good performance. The Growth & Income Fund, which
returned 16.47%, was awarded a 4-star rating by Morningstar, and was added to
their select Morningstar 500. This is Payden & Rygel's second fund in that
prestigious group. The Market Return Fund, which returned 24.41%, was also
awarded a 4-star rating./3/ The U.S. Growth Leaders Fund, which opened June 17,
1999, returned 5.30% through the fiscal year-end.

Small cap stocks continued to lag their large cap cousins. The Russell 2000
index gained 14.9%, or nearly 1000 basis points less than the S&P 500. The
difference between "growth" and "value" was even more pronounced in small caps,
with the Russell 2000 Value index up only 0.7%, while the Russell 2000 Growth
gained 29.2%. The results for our two small cap funds reflected these
difficulties. The Small Cap Value Stock Fund posted a -0.33% return for the
year. The Small Cap Growth Stock Fund did better, earning 17.56%. Small cap
stocks are at all-time cheap valuations relative to large cap stocks.

European stocks outpaced U.S. stocks in local currency terms. The Dow Jones
Europe STOXX index rose 26.3% on the surprising strength of the European
economy. The new currency, the Euro, did not fare as well. Therefore, in U.S.
dollar terms, the Dow Jones Europe STOXX index only advanced 12.1%. We continue
to believe that European stocks offer outstanding opportunities for return and
diversification.

The Global Balanced Fund posted a strong 15.85% return for the year. This Fund
has posted consistent returns since its inception, but with significantly less
volatility than an all stock portfolio. The European Growth & Income Fund
returned 8.39% for the year. To these Funds, we added two new European funds.
With the start of 1999, we launched the EuroDirect Fund that seeks to profit
from various opportunities in the new unified European capital markets, stocks
as well as fixed income securities. The Fund, which returned 5.61%, firmly
outperformed its benchmark over the year. In response to the great outlook for
young, innovative growth companies and the emergence of the so-called "New
Markets" in Europe, we launched the European Aggressive Growth Fund in June.
The Fund focuses on small to medium capitalization stocks with high growth
potential. This segment of the market has performed extraordinarily well in the
second half of this year, which is reflected in the strong performance of Fund
since its inception with a return of 12.80%. All four European funds are sub-
advised by our joint-venture partner Metzler/Payden.

/3/ The Morningstar ratings are for the three-year period ending October 31,
    1999, out of a total of 3,272 domestic equity funds (3-year) for both the
    Growth & Income Fund and Market Return Fund. Morningstar's proprietary
    ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance and are subject to
    change monthly. Specifically, they are calculated from each fund's three-
    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.

Growth & Income Fund

Unaudited

The objective of the Growth & Income Fund is to provide growth of capital and
some current income. To achieve these objectives the Growth & Income Fund nor-
mally 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 as-
sets are invested in securities intended to replicate the total return of the
S&P 500 Index, normally Standard & Poor's Depository Receipts, and equity index
mutual funds.

1. Organization and Related Matters

The Payden & Rygel Investment 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 (the
"1940 Act"), as amended. Each of its twenty-three mutual funds (each a "Fund")
is a series of the Group.

Each of the Funds, other than the Bunker Hill Money Market, High Income,
European Growth & Income and European Aggressive Growth Funds, has been
classified as non-diversified.

The Group has entered into a Credit Agreement with a group of banks, including
Deutsche Bank AG which also acts as agent for the bank group, under which the
bank group has agreed to make loans to one or more of the Funds upon request by
such Fund(s) and subject to the conditions of the Credit Agreement. The
interest rate for any such loan will vary depending upon the type of borrowing
chosen by the Fund. The aggregate of all such loans to the Funds may not exceed
$35 million. No Fund made a request for such a loan during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1999.

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 at market on the basis of quotes
obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services, which take into account
appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of
securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading
characteristics and other market data. Certain fixed income securities which
may have a bid-ask spread greater than ten 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 Advisor determines that such basis does not represent fair
value. 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.
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 price or, if there have been no sales during the
day, at the last bid price. Securities traded only on the over-the-counter
market are valued at the latest bid price. Foreign equity securities are valued
based upon the last sale price 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 price.

Investments in the Bunker Hill Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates market. Under the amortized cost valuation method, discount
or premium is amortized using the effective interest method 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

68  Payden & Rygel Investment Group
<PAGE>

October 31, 1999

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 Funds except the tax exempt funds may purchase securities that are
denominated in foreign currencies. For these 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 respective transactions.

Each of these Funds isolates that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising
from changes in security prices.

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 income 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) writes a
covered call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is
reflected as an asset and equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is
subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current 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) 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 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
- -----------------
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 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.

The Global Balanced, European Growth & Income, EuroDirect, European Aggressive
Growth, Growth & Income, Market Return, Small Cap Value Stock, Small Cap Growth
Stock, Total Return, U.S. Growth Leaders and High Income Funds may invest in
stock index futures contracts, which are 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 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.

Swap Contracts
- --------------
Any Fund (except Growth & Income and Bunker Hill Money Market Funds) may enter
into 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 rate or 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.

The potential risk to a Fund is that the swap position may correlate
imperfectly with the markets or the asset or liability being hedged. In
addition, if the other party to the transaction defaults, a Fund might incur a
loss.

Forward Currency Contracts
- --------------------------
The Global Short Bond, Global Fixed Income, Emerging Markets Bond, Total
Return, High Income, Market Return, European Growth & Income, Global Balanced,
EuroDirect and European Aggressive Growth 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 Funds enter into
forward contracts as a hedge

70  Payden & Rygel Investment Group
<PAGE>

October 31, 1999

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.

TBA Sale Commitments
- --------------------
The funds 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 value of the underling
securities. The contract is "marked-to-market" daily and the change in the
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 Fund entered the
commitment.

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, European Growth & Income,
Growth & Income and High Income Funds, which are declared and paid quarterly,
(ii) the EuroDirect, European Aggressive Growth, U.S. Growth Leaders, 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 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 (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, if any, are
reclassified to paid in capital.

                                                               Annual Report  71
<PAGE>

Notes to Financial Statements continued
October 31, 1999


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 Funds of the
Group on the basis of relative net assets. Fund-specific expenses are charged
to each Fund as incurred.

The organization costs incurred on behalf of the Funds prior to June 30, 1998
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not exceeding five
years. Organization costs incurred after June 30, 1998 are a direct expense to
the Fund 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 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 the Global Balanced, EuroDirect, European Growth & Income and European
Aggressive Growth Funds, the Advisor has entered into a sub-advisory agreement
with Metzler/Payden LLC where the Advisor passes through to the sub-advisor
100% of its advisory fee earned and payable. The sub-advisor fee does not
represent a separate or additional charge to 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

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Payden & Rygel Investment
Group (the "Funds"), including Global Short Bond Fund, Global Fixed Income
Fund, Emerging Markets Bond Fund, Global Balanced Fund, EuroDirect Fund,
European Growth & Income Fund, European Aggressive Growth Fund, Growth & Income
Fund, Market Return Fund, U.S. Growth Leaders Fund, Small Cap Value Stock Fund,
Small Cap Growth Stock Fund, Bunker Hill Money Market Fund, Limited Maturity
Fund, Short Bond Fund, U.S. Government Fund, GNMA Fund, Investment Quality Bond
Fund, Total Return Fund, High Income Fund, Short Duration Tax Exempt Fund, Tax
Exempt Bond Fund and California Municipal Income Fund as of October 31, 1999,
the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods presented. We have also audited
the statements of cash flows for the period ended October 31, 1999 for the U.S.
Government Fund, GNMA Fund, Investment Quality Bond Fund and Total Return Fund.
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, 1999, 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, 1999, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets, their cash flows and financial highlights for the respective
stated periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
