LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder:

In the first  half of 2000,  the  world's  regions  continued  evolving  into an
interwoven global economy,  a process known as globalization.  ABN AMRO's global
network of on-the-ground  professionals is all the more important in this period
of  globalization as events in other parts of the world affect investors here at
home.

Likewise,  globalization  means  actions  in the  U.S.  tend to have  tremendous
effects on world  economies.  Two major  events in the first part of 2000 - U.S.
interest rate increases and the downturn in the U.S. stock market - reverberated
around the world.

The Federal Open Market Committee (the "Fed") continued its strategy of monetary
tightening  in the new year in an attempt to  engineer a "soft  landing"  in the
U.S.  economy.  These  tightenings  brought the total  number of  interest  rate
increases to six in the one year period  since June 30, 1999.  At the end of the
first  half of 2000,  there  were some  signs of an  economic  slowdown,  but it
remains to be seen whether the interest rate increases will produce the intended
effect.

Other central banks, as well as financial markets, all over the world reacted to
the Fed's interest rate increases. The major U.S. stock market indexes slid into
bear market  territory in the  six-month  period after a record  run-up in 1999.
Investors who had become  accustomed to constant  market  upswings with very few
corrections   learned  the  true  meaning  of  Federal  Reserve   Chairman  Alan
Greenspan's cautionary phrase "irrational exuberance."

As a result of extreme  volatility  in the equity  markets,  the  importance  of
diversification returned to the forefront.  Traditionally defensive sectors such
as real estate, food and insurance proved to be safer harbors in stormy markets.
And many investors  returned to instruments like bonds and money market funds in
search of relative safety.

It was amid this  environment that ABN AMRO introduced its  Institutional  Prime
Money Market  Fund(US),  which produced a 6.40% 7-day yield as of June 30, 2000.
This Fund marks ABN AMRO's  first  liquidity  management  vehicle for  corporate
clients.

The introduction of the Institutional  Prime Money Market Fund(US) fits into the
organizational  strategies we have  implemented to help enhance  performance and
align our  resources  to focus on global  growth.  We also  added to the  credit
analyst staff to continue to build our premier cash management team.

Specifically, the three areas we concentrated on were:
                   (BULLET)   Cash management (as outlined above)
                   (BULLET)   Equities
                   (BULLET)   Distribution

In late 1999,  we designed and put into practice a rigorous  investment  process
that  best uses the  strengths  of the firm.  We formed a  partnership  with two
sub-advisers,  Delaware Management Company and Mellon Equity Associates, LLP, to
allow us to concentrate  on global  growth.  We also enhanced our service levels
and  expanded  the Funds'  distribution  network to include  the major  national
mutual fund  supermarkets,  where we are now available to thousands of investors
and financial advisers.

We have already experienced some positive results of our strategy implementation
in the form of better overall equity  performance and the addition of new assets
to our fund  family.  As we look to the next six  months,  we will  continue  to
closely  monitor  the  processes  we  have  put in  place  regarding  investment
management,  client service and partnership with our two  sub-advisers.  We will
explore other opportunities to continue to improve investment performance.

We are absolutely committed to our consistent,  disciplined investment approach,
which we believe is the hallmark of our investment strategy. We plan to continue
this commitment throughout the remainder of 2000 and beyond.


Sincerely,

PAST  PERFORMANCE  DOES NOT  GUARANTEE  FUTURE  RESULTS.  Investment  return and
principal value will vary with market conditions, so that shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost. Although a money market fund
seeks to  maintain  a stable  net asset  value of $1.00 per  share,  there is no
assurance it will be able to do so. An investment in the Fund is neither insured
nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by the FDIC.

Return  figures  reflect any expense  reimbursements  and fee  waivers.  Without
reimbursements  or waivers,  Fund  returns  would have been  lower.  All indices
mentioned  are  unmanaged.  It is not possible to invest  directly in any index.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION
ABN AMRO Funds (the "Trust") was  organized as a  Massachusetts  business  trust
under a Declaration  of Trust dated  September 17, 1992. The Trust is registered
under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended (the "1940 Act"),  as an
open-end  management  investment  company with 19 funds:  Treasury  Money Market
Fund(US),  Government Money Market Fund(US),  Money Market Fund(US),  Tax-Exempt
Money Market  Fund(US)  (collectively  the "Money Market  Funds"),  Fixed Income
Fund(US), Tax-Exempt Fixed Income Fund(US), International Fixed Income Fund(US),
Balanced  Fund(US),  (collectively  the "Fixed Income  Funds"),  Value Fund(US),
Growth Fund(US), International Equity Fund(US), Small Cap Fund(US) (formerly the
Small Cap Growth Fund(US)),  Real Estate Fund(US), Europe Equity Growth Fund(US)
(formerly the  TransEurope  Fund(US)),  Asian Tigers  Fund(US) and Latin America
Equity Fund(US)  (collectively  the "Equity Funds").  The Trust also consists of
Institutional Prime Money Market Fund(US),  Institutional  Treasury Money Market
Fund(US) and  Institutional  Government Money Market Fund(US)  (collectively the
"Institutional Money Market Funds").
     Europe Equity Growth Fund(US), Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund(US)
and  Institutional  Government  Money  Market  Fund(US)  have not yet  commenced
operations as of June 30, 2000. Each prospectus describes each Fund's investment
objective, policies and strategies.
     The  assets of each Fund are  separate,  and a  shareholder's  interest  is
limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Money Market Funds,  the Fixed
Income Funds and the Equity Funds offer two classes of shares: Common Shares and
Investor  Shares  (available  through banks,  various  brokerage firms and other
financial  intermediaries).  The  Institutional  Money Market Funds of the Trust
offer two  classes of shares:  Institutional  Shares and  Institutional  Service
Shares. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those
of the Institutional Prime Money Market(US) (the "Fund").

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant  accounting  policies  followed by
the Fund.
     SECURITY  VALUATION - Investment  securities held by the Fund are stated at
amortized  cost,  which  approximates  market value.  Under the  amortized  cost
method, any discount or premium is accreted or amortized ratably to the maturity
of the security and is included in interest income.
     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - It is the Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated
investment  company  for  federal  income tax  purposes  by  complying  with the
appropriate  provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes are required in the
accompanying financial statements.
     SECURITY  TRANSACTIONS  AND  RELATED  INCOME -  Security  transactions  are
accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual
basis.  Costs  used in  determining  realized  gains and  losses on the sales of
investment  securities are those of the specific  securities sold,  adjusted for
the accretion and  amortization  of purchase  discounts and premiums  during the
respective holding periods.
     REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS - Securities  pledged as collateral  for  repurchase
agreements  are held by the  custodian  bank  until  the  respective  agreements
mature.  Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of
the collateral,  including accrued interest thereon,  is sufficient in the event
of default by the  counterparty.  If the counterparty  defaults and the value of
the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency  proceeding,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
     NET ASSET  VALUE  PER SHARE - The net asset  value per share of the Fund is
calculated each business day. In general,  it is computed by dividing the assets
of the Fund less its  liabilities,  by the number of  outstanding  shares of the
Fund.
     MATURITY DATES - Certain  variable rate and floating rate securities of the
Fund  are  subject  to  "maturity  shortening"  devices  such  as put or  demand
features.  Under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, these  securities are deemed to have
maturities shorter than the ultimate maturity dates.  Accordingly,  the maturity
dates  reflected in the Schedule of Investments are the shorter of the effective
put/demand date or the ultimate maturity date.
     CLASSES  -  Class-specific  expenses  are  borne  by  that  class.  Income,
expenses,  and  realized  and  unrealized  gains/losses  are  allocated  to  the
respective classes on the basis of relative daily net assets.
     EXPENSES  -  Expenses  that are  directly  related  to one of the Funds are
charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Fund are prorated
to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.
     USE OF ESTIMATES - The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the  financial
statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results  could  differ from those
estimates.
     OTHER - Net  investment  income for the Fund is  declared  to  shareholders
daily  and  distributed  monthly.  Any net  realized  capital  gains on sales of
securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
     The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions  from
net realized  capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations,  which may  differ  from those  amounts  recorded  under  generally
accepted accounting principles.  These book/tax differences are either temporary
or permanent in nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent, they
are  charged or credited  to paid-in  capital in the period that the  difference
arises.
