Dear Shareholders
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Paydenfunds!
         As you can see, we have adopted a fresh, new look that symbolizes our
renewed pledge to earn and keep your trust. To be "The Investor's Advocate" is
what we strive for everyday.

Advocate [n.]--(1) one that pleads the cause of another; (2) one that defends
            or maintains a cause or proposal

  What this means to you is that we will maintain the breadth of our low
expense mutual fund offerings, adhere to our disciplined investment process and
continue to produce publications and other educational materials that are of
value to your needs. We are proud of our fund offerings and our service
standards, but in the end, we know that our shareholders are the reason why we
are so successful. Your objective is to grow your money wisely and ours is to
help you attain that goal.

  With each passing year, we are more energized by the changes around us. We
are constantly shown the delicate balance of our world markets, which leads us
to adhere to the successful implementation of our investment process and risk
management in our funds. On the other hand, the constant consolidation of our
industry reinforces why we value our independence and how we need to continue
with our forward progress for our shareholders.

  In the past, asset allocation not only looked at separate asset classes but
also at U.S. vs. non-U.S. exposure. New wisdom has shown that investors need to
see sectors and industries on a more global basis. Certainly, the fact that
world equity markets have been so volatile while bond markets strengthened
justifies the need for a global asset allocation plan for any investment
portfolio. Our Global Balanced, European Aggressive Growth, Global Fixed
Income, Emerging Markets Bond, and World Target Twenty funds are great tools to
help you diversify your investments on a global scale.

  The euro continues to be a major story of this year, and despite the fact
that the currency has continued to falter, we still look to Europe as a
promising investment. Its growth prospects, which are in part driven by
corporate tax reform and deregulation of its capital markets, still make the
region a good bargain. In fact, our European Aggressive Growth Fund was
featured in the Business/Your Money section of the October 1, 2000 edition of
The Washington Post as evidence of this same fact!

Management Discussion and Analysis

Short Duration Strategies

Assets of the Bunker Hill Money Market Fund more than doubled during the year
to approximately $200 million. The Fund maintained its strategy of holding a
relatively long average maturity of 70 to 80 days and was able to earn a return
of 6.06% for the fiscal year, which placed the fund 23rd out of 367 funds
tracked in Lipper's Money Market Funds category. For the year ended 9/30/00,
the Fund posted a total return of 5.96%, placing it 17th of 362 funds in the
same peer group.

The Limited Maturity Fund strives to earn more than what is available from
money market funds while holding a relatively stable share price. The Fund
ended the year with a net asset value of $9.97, and returned 6.24%. The
portfolio consists primarily of investment grade corporate and asset-backed
securities that mature in 18 months or less.

The Short Bond Fund takes advantage of opportunities in the high quality asset-
backed sector and concentrated on the two-year sector of the yield curve. These
strategies contributed to the Fund's top decile ranking of 110 funds in
Lipper's Short Investment Grade Debt Funds universe for the twelve months
ending 10/31/00. The Fund's return of 6.61% also topped the benchmark return of
6.06%.

An overweight of U.S. agency securities and well-structured mortgages helped
the U.S. Government Fund maintain its solid performance. The Fund returned
6.33% for the fiscal year, which placed it in the top 10% of the 94 funds that
comprise the Lipper Short-Intermediate U.S. Government Funds Index. Likewise,
our GNMA Fund has performed solidly, posting a total return of 7.79% for the
same period, which places it in the top 10% of 54 funds and 4th out of 54 funds
for the year ended 9/30/00 in Lipper's GNMA Funds universe.

Core Bond and Intermediate Maturity Strategies

It is amazing to reflect that it was just one year ago that the world was
bracing for Y2K. That passed with a yawn, and investors were able to refocus on
the fundamental and technical factors that typically drive markets. The year
2000, however, has unfolded to be anything but typical. The Fed Funds target
rate was increased from 5.25% to 6.50%, putting the brakes on a very robust
economy. At the same time, the Treasury announced an unprecedented "buy-back"
program to retire outstanding treasuries in light of budget surpluses. Then,
the credit status of government sponsored agencies such as Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac was questioned after there was talk of pulling back the level of
government sponsorship and support. As a backdrop to these events, Wall Street
is shrinking further with waves of consolidations. It is imperative that
investors are cognizant of liquidity requirements and structure their
portfolios to match cash flow needs.

With the Fed increasing the Fed Funds target by 1.25%, it is not surprising
that short maturity rates, such as money market securities, also rose by a
similar amount. Yields for Treasury securities ranging from two year maturities
and longer, however, did not increase in a similar fashion, and this has led to
an inversion of the yield curve, where longer maturities have lower yields than
shorter maturities. The two-year Treasury rose 8 basis points to 5.92% over the
twelve month period ending October 31, 2000, while the 30 year Treasury ended
39 basis points lower at 5.79%. This was good news for longer portfolios, which
benefited from the interest rate declines. The Investment Quality Bond Fund
returned 5.74% for the twelve months ending October 31, 2000, and the Total
Return Fund earned 5.60%. Both of these funds are well diversified across
several fixed income sectors including Treasuries, Agencies, Corporates, and
Mortgage-backed securities. In addition, the Total Return fund has weightings
in non-dollar, high yield, and emerging markets securities. These additional
sectors should provide higher returns over time due to their yield advantage.

Management Discussion and Analsys

Global Strategies

The economic environment has been good for global bonds in the last twelve
months. Yields began the fiscal year at a high level relative to the previous
year, which ensured bond returns would be well supported from higher income
levels. In addition, with economic data suggesting global growth peaked in the
early summer, bond yields have fallen modestly as concerns about rising
inflation are lessened. As yields drop, bond prices increase with the value of
future coupon payments. This resulted in a total return for the Global Fixed
Income Fund of 6.96% in the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2000. The
Global Short Bond Fund returned 5.93% over the same period. We are pleased that
the Global Fixed Income Fund earned  *****  Morningstar ratings out of 2,154
funds in their Taxable Bond category for the five-year period ended 9/30/00 and
10/31/00./1/

On a currency-hedged basis government bonds in the various developed markets
had similar performance. The U.S. treasury market did outpace its counterparts
in Europe and Japan modestly as the debt buy-back program and the sell-off in
the corporate bond market increased the demand for treasuries. We held an
overweight position in the U.S. portion of the Funds during the year to
capitalize on this technical factor.

The strength of the U.S. dollar has resulted in negative returns for many
global-bond funds. We have, however, maintained our currency-hedged position
over the entire period, protecting the funds from the depreciation in the euro,
the British pound, and the Australian and New Zealand dollars.

High Yield Strategies

Over the past year, the high yield bond market has been suffering through a
period of substantial volatility. Equity market weakness, rising defaults, and
concern over future growth has resulted in poor investor sentiment. Outflows
from high yield mutual funds have been steady over the course of the year, and
the issuance of collateralized debt obligations backed by high yield bonds have
fallen.

One of the primary factors weighing down the high yield market was the
continuing volatility in the NASDAQ. The lack of an interest rate increase by
the Federal Reserve on August 22nd and the neutral bias did give a temporary
boost to the high yield market, albeit the bounce was short-lived as the
markets become more focused on rising fuel prices and their impact on the
economy and high yield credits. The continuing weakness in the euro currency
and negative earnings surprises (e.g. Intel) also continued to depress the high
yield market as uncertainty will not lead to renewed inflows into high yield
mutual funds.

The High Income Fund has been positioned defensively ahead of the sector's
spread widening, and as a result, has outperformed the index and peer group by
a significant margin for the year-to-date period. For the one-year period ended
10/31/00, the Fund returned 0.59%. We have underweighted the lower tier of the
market, and have generally emphasized larger, more liquid issues. These
positions have held up well as liquidity has fallen. Going forward, while we
expect the volatility to continue, the general sell-off has presented
opportunities to purchase solid credits at historically high yields. We view
this as an opportunity and will use cash to make these purchases over the near
term.

Management's Discussion and Analysis continued

Emerging Markets Strategies

Over the last twelve months, emerging market credit trends have been largely
positive. Interest spreads were also influenced by volatility in the U.S.
equity markets and concern about the extent of a U.S. slowdown. Overall
emerging market spreads tightened about 250 basis points over the last twelve
months (although about 100 basis points of this was due to a technical change
in the spread calculation of Soviet-era defaulted loans that were restructured
into Russian eurobonds).

Rating agency trends on emerging market sovereigns during this period were
overwhelmingly slanted toward upgrades. Russia was the top performer over the
last twelve months, supported by improving macroeconomic and political trends,
as well as good technicals as a result of the successful London Club
restructuring of Soviet-era debt. Mexican assets performed well after Moody's
upgrade to investment grade this year and a peaceful democratic presidential
transition. Brazil also continued strong economic performance as inflation and
interest rates declined, and IMF fiscal targets were met. The markets have
become increasingly concerned, however, about Argentina and its prospects for
economic recovery.

The strategy of the Emerging Markets Bond Fund during this period has been to
overweight Russia and Central Europe, and overweight Latin American countries
with improving fundamentals and upgrade potential such as Brazil and Mexico.
Within Latin America, we have been underweight in Argentina due to growing
concerns about the country's political fragility and external financing needs,
and have avoided exposure to the Andean countries including Peru and Colombia.
We have also underweighted Asia (due to limited relative value opportunities)
and Africa. The Fund has returned 18.13% during the last twelve months, on par
with J.P. Morgan's EMBI Global and outperforming the EMBI Global Constrained
Indices.

Tax Exempt Bond Strategies

Municipal investors were rewarded for having the fortitude to weather the
market's volatility in the beginning of the year and remaining steadfast to
their investment objectives. The municipal market encountered many challenges
during the course of the year, with the most notable: (1) Y2K, (2) the Federal
Reserve's proactive posture toward inflationary pressures, and (3) the Treasury
buy-back program.

The market assumed a "wait-and-see" approach in the first quarter as we entered
the Year 2000. Once the New Year began and it became apparent that there were
no lingering computer problems resulting from the date change, trading resumed
as normal. All eyes focused on the Federal Reserve as they continued to take
preemptive action to stem potential inflationary pressures. The Federal Reserve
increased short-term rates on four occasions; the last of the increases
occurred in May, with the Federal Funds Rate at 6.50%. While short-term rates
were on the rise, long-term rates began to fall. Economic data suggested that
the economy was heading toward a soft landing. In addition, the Treasury was
using the budget surplus to buy back long-term Treasury bonds. This placed a
premium on long bonds causing long-term interest rates to fall. The municipal
yield curve followed the Treasury curve and flattened.

Management Discussion and Analysis

The Short Duration Tax Exempt Fund posted a 4.18% total return and the Tax
Exempt Bond Fund posted 6.70% for the trailing one-year period ended 10/31/00.
Out of 1,856 funds in the Municipal Bond category, the Short Duration Tax
Exempt Fund earned a  *****  Morningstar rating and the Tax Exempt Bond Fund
earned a  ****  Morningstar rating for each of the one year periods ended
9/30/00 and 10/31/00. The Tax Exempt Bond Fund and the California Municipal
Income Fund performed well due to their longer maturity orientation. We
purchased long bonds throughout the year to take advantage of falling yields.
Our allocation to bonds in the 4- to 5-year maturity range benefited the
portfolio as yields fell. These portfolios have greater sensitivity to interest
rate movements than the Short Duration Tax Exempt Fund, causing them to perform
better in a declining interest rate environment. The California market
outperformed other segments of the municipal market. The yield on intermediate
California tax-exempt bonds fell by approximately 50 basis points. Heavy demand
was met with limited supply in the California market, causing California tax-
exempt bond yields to decline by more than any other state. As with the Tax
Exempt Bond Fund, we purchased more long-term bonds than normal to increase the
portfolio's sensitivity to declining interest rates. As a result, the
California Municipal Income Fund was able to post a 7.68% total return for the
year.

Equity Strategies

Stocks were mixed during this fiscal year. Although annual corporate profits
were strong again, investors began to appreciate the high prices being paid for
that growth. Consequently, the market price to earnings ratio contracted and
the S&P 500 index gained only 6.1%. Leadership was more broadly based, with
energy and healthcare adding to the usual gains in the technology sector. For
the first time in several years, stocks characterized as a "value" style
outperformed "growth" stocks. The S&P 500/BARRA Growth index advanced 2.1%,
while the S&P 500/BARRA Value index rose 9.7%. Nearly one-half of the stocks in
the S&P 500 index (231 stocks, or 46%) posted a negative return for the year
ending October 31, 2000. The Market Return Fund returned 3.15% and the Growth &
Income Fund returned 0.47% during that same period.

Small cap stocks soundly beat their large cap cousins. The Russell 2000 index
gained 17.6%, or nearly 1150 basis points more than the S&P 500. We believe
small cap stocks continue to have greater consensus forecast earnings growth at
lower valuations than large cap stocks. In addition, they are an excellent
diversifier as this past year so vividly demonstrated. Our Small Cap Leaders
Fund returned 16.48% since its inception on 12/20/99, while our U.S. Growth
Leaders Fund posted a total return of 9.75% for the trailing one-year period
ended 10/31/00.

European stocks strongly outpaced U.S. stocks in local currency terms. The Dow
Jones Europe STOXX index rose 25.5% on the continued strength and restructuring
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
2.5%. The European Growth & Income Fund returned -32.13% for the one-year
period ended 10/31/00. The World Target Twenty Fund has had a rough start since
its inception on March 31, 2000, and returned -16.22% since its inception.
Based on its 12-month total return of 48.83%, however, the European Aggressive
Growth Fund outperformed its benchmark by an impressive 34.77%.

Likewise, our Global Balanced Fund posted a total return of 4.08% for the same
period, earning a  ****  Morningstar rating of 1,208 funds in Morningstar's
International Equity category for each of the one year periods ended 9/30/00
and 10/31/00./3/ We continue to believe that European stocks offer outstanding
opportunities for return and diversification.

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 in-
dex mutual funds.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2000

1. Organization and Related Matters

The Payden & Rygel Investment Group (the "Group" or "Paydenfunds") 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-two 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.

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. Such quotations 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
using other fixed income securities with a comparable level of risk, and for
which the prices are more readily obtainable. 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. All other securities are appraised at their fair value as
determined in good faith under procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
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. 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.
Premiums and discounts are generally 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
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 and
expense are

  Paydenfunds

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 appreciation/depreciation
from translation of assets and liabilities in foreign securities arises 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, except for tri- party agreements
where an independent custodian takes possession. On a daily basis the Funds
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 the 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

                                                               Annual Report

                                                                             69

Notes to Financial Statements continued

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, European Aggressive Growth,
World Target Twenty, Growth & Income, Market Return, U.S. Growth Leaders, Small
Cap Leaders, Total Return, 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 the 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
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 receivable/payable if any 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,
European Aggressive Growth, and World Target Twenty 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 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
Each of 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
underlying 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.

The following Funds earned a fee for entering into dollar roll agreements. The
amounts below are included in interest income in the statement of operations.

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
European Aggressive Growth, World Target Twenty, U.S. Growth Leaders, and Small
Cap Leaders Funds, which are declared and paid semi-annually, and (iii) the
Bunker Hill Money Market, Limited Maturity, Short Bond, U.S. Government, GNMA,
Short Duration Tax Exempt, Tax Exempt Bond, and California Municipal Income
Funds, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America ("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.

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.

Custodian Credits
The funds have entered into an agreement with the custodian, whereby it earns
custodian fee credits for temporary cash balances. These credits, which offset
custodian fees that may be charged to the Funds, are based on 75% of the daily
effective federal funds rate.

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.

Payden & Rygel has agreed to guarantee that, for as long as it acts as
investment adviser to the Funds, the expenses of the Funds, including advisory
fees (exclusive of interest and taxes) will not exceed the percentages
indicated below of that Fund's average daily net assets on an annualized basis.
On March 1, 2000 the advisor eliminated the 0.95% voluntary expense limit for
the European Aggressive Growth Fund. Finally, Payden & Rygel has voluntarily

Each Fund remains liable to Payden & Rygel for expenses subsidized in any
fiscal year as 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. They are not recorded as liabilities in
the statement of assets and liabilities, but will be recognized as net expense
in the statements of operations as expense previously deferred in future
periods, if expense limits permit.

Independent Auditors' Report

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Payden
& Rygel Investment Group (the "Funds"), including Global Short Bond Fund,
Global Fixed Income Fund, Emerging Markets Bond Fund, Global Balanced Fund,
European Growth & Income Fund, European Aggressive Growth Fund, World Target
Twenty Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Market Return Fund, U.S. Growth Leaders
Fund, Small Cap Leaders 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, including the schedules
of portfolio investments, as of October 31, 2000, and the related statements of
operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial
highlights for the periods presented. In addition, we have audited the
statements of cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2000 for the 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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, 2000, by
correspondence with the Funds' custodians and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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, 2000, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets, and their financial highlights for the respective periods
stated above, including the statements of cash flows for the Funds indicated
above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

As discussed in Note 7, on November 16, 2000, the Board of Trustees approved
the closing of the European Growth & Income Fund, which is anticipated to occur
on December 22, 2000.
