(1)  Performance data includes the performance of the predecessor limited
     partnership for periods before the TCW Galileo Funds' registration became
     effective. The predecessor limited partnerships were not registered under
     the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and, therefore
     were not subject to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the
     1940 Act. If the limited partnership had been registered under the 1940
     Act, the limited partnership's performance may have been lower.
(2)  Inception date of predecessor limited partnership.

generally give the shareholder the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other
rights. The Institutional Class shares are offered at the current net asset
value. The Advisory Class shares are also offered at the current net asset
value, but are subject to fees imposed under a distribution plan adopted
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

Note 2 -- Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies which are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and which are
consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial
statements. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.

Principles of Accounting: The Funds use the accrual method of accounting for
financial reporting purposes.

Security Valuations: Equity fund securities listed or traded on the New York,
American or other stock exchanges are valued at the latest sale price on that
exchange (if there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the latest
bid price). All other securities for which over-the-counter market quotations
are readily available, are valued at the latest bid price prior to the time of
valuation.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including
circumstances under which it is determined by the Advisor that sale or bid
prices are not reflective of a security's market value, are valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the
general supervision of the Company's Board of Directors.

                                                                  April 30, 2000

Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the
time of purchase are valued at amortized cost. Other short-term debt securities
are valued on a marked-to-market basis until such time as they reach a remaining
maturity of 60 days, whereupon they will be valued at amortized value using
their value of the 61st day prior to maturity.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income: Security transactions are
recorded as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and
losses on investments are recorded on the basis of specific identification.

Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements secured by
U.S. Government obligations and by other securities. Securities pledged as
collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian bank until
maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements ensure that
the market value of the collateral is sufficient in the event of default;
however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
agreements, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to
legal proceedings.

Security Lending: The Funds may lend their securities to qualified brokers. The
loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market
value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with any
extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery or even
loss of rights in the collateral if the borrowers of the securities fail
financially. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities (see
Note 3).

Options: Premiums received from call options written are recorded as a
liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently adjusted to reflect the
current market value of the option written. If the option expires unexercised,
premiums received are realized as a gain at expiration date. If the position is
closed prior to expiration, a gain or loss is realized based on premiums
received, less the cost to close the option. When an option is exercised,
premiums received are added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying
securities and a gain or loss is realized. Call options purchased are accounted
for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired
through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. There were
no option contracts entered into during the six months ended April 30, 2000.

Deferred Organization Costs: Organizational costs of approximately $4,000,
$2,000 and $5,000 for the TCW Galileo Convertible Securities Fund, the TCW
Galileo Aggressive Growth Equities Fund and the TCW Galileo Value Opportunities
Fund, respectively, have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight
line basis over a five-year period from the commencement of operations.
Organizational costs for all other U.S. Equities funds have been fully amortized
or were de minimus and therefore, were not deferred. Those costs were expensed
as incurred.

Upon formation of the Funds, the Company sold and issued to the Advisor 10,008
shares of common stock (one share each of the TCW Galileo Convertible Securities
Fund, the TCW Galileo Aggressive Growth Equities Fund, the TCW Galileo Small Cap
Growth Fund, and the TCW Galileo Value Opportunities Fund, and 2,000 shares each
of the other two funds, collectively the "Initial Shares"). In the event the
Advisor redeems any of its Initial Shares from one or more of the Funds prior to
the end of the five-year period, the proceeds of the redemption payable in
respect of such shares will be reduced by any unamortized organization costs in

        relative net assets of each class. Distribution fees, which are directly
        attributable to a class of shares, are charged to that class operations.
        All other expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred on a specific
        identification basis.

        Net Asset Value: The Net Asset Value of each Fund's shares is determined
        by dividing the net assets of the Fund by the number of issued and
        outstanding shares on each business day as of 1:00 P.M. Pacific Standard
        Time.

        Dividends and Distributions: The TCW Galileo Convertible Securities Fund
        declares and pays, or reinvests, dividends from net investment income
        quarterly. The other equity funds declare and pay, or reinvest,
        dividends from net investment income annually. Distribution of any net
        long-term and net short-term capital gains earned by a Fund will be
        distributed at least annually.

        Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
        income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
        accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing
        treatments for foreign currency transactions, market discount, losses
        deferred to wash sales, excise tax regulations and employing
        equalization in determining amounts to be distributed to Fund
        shareholders. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to
        shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in
        capital and may impact net investment income per share. Undistributed
        net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis
        differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable
        income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the
        following year.

     (4)  The Investment Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reduce its fee, or to
          pay the operating expenses of the Fund, to the extent necessary to
          limit the annual ordinary operating expenses of the Fund as disclosed
          in Note 5 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. Had such action
          not been taken, total annualized operating expenses, as a percentage
          of average net assets, would have been 1.60% for the six months ended
          April 30, 2000 and 35.14% for the period March 1, 1999 (Commencement
          of offering of Advisory Class shares) through October 31, 1999.
