TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
 
     What a wonderful year this has been for investors! The year ended February
29, 1996, was among the best one-year periods ever for the U.S. markets.
 
     - The U.S. stock market led the way. As measured by the Standard and Poor's
       500 Index, the U.S. Stock Market returned 34.70%.
 
     - The U.S. bond market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
       Index, returned 12.24%.
 
     - The U.S. money market, as measured by 91-day U.S. Treasury bills,
       returned 5.53%.
 
     What does this excellent across-the-board performance mean for the future?
The best answer is, to put it bluntly, nothing! Past performance, no matter how
dramatically positive, is no guarantee of future returns.
 
     The best advice for the future is, as always, to develop an investment plan
designed to ensure that your investments are well-positioned to meet your
personal financial goals. If they are, then stick with your plan. If they
aren't, then make the necessary adjustments and stick with your new plan.
Remember: successful investors stay focused on their personal financial goals
and do not change their investment plan solely on the basis of short-term market
swings.
 
     The MasterWorks Funds are conceived and managed to be simple and
cost-effective--to help you plan a personal portfolio designed to meet your
needs, and to give you the confidence to stick with your plan for the long term.
We hope you've been satisfied with your investment this year. We look forward to
a long and rewarding relationship with you as a shareholder.

The S&P 500 Index of Stocks ("S&P 500") is a trademark of Standard & Poor's
Corporation and is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of 500
companies, including industrial, transportation, utility, and financial
companies.
 
The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index includes substantially all significant
issues in the U.S. bond market, including government and corporate bonds,
mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. Investors should note
that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund while the S&P 500 Index
and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index are unmanaged indices, do not incur
expenses, and are not available directly for investment. If operating expenses
such as the Fund's had been applied to these indices, their performance would
have been lower.

Average annual total return for the indicated periods represents the average
annual increase in value of an investment over the indicated periods assuming
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions at net asset value.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and
principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so
that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost.
 
The Fund's manager has voluntarily waived portions of its fees or has reimbursed
expenses to the Fund, which has reduced operating expenses for shareholders.
Without this reduction, the Fund's returns would have been lower.
 
FOR THE 12 MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996, THE ASSET ALLOCATION FUND POSTED A
TOTAL RETURN OF 23.54%--A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE FROM THE 3.28% RETURN POSTED FOR
THE 12 MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1995. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS CHANGE?
 
The positive performance this year resulted from the remarkable performance of
both the stock and bond markets. During the calendar year 1994, the returns of
both the U.S. stock and bond markets were disappointing; therefore, there was
little opportunity available for a U.S. based investment strategy to add value.
In contrast, during 1995 the U.S. stock market rallied to new highs--with the
total return for the S&P 500 the highest since 1958--and the bond market also
posted a very strong year. Because the Fund invested primarily in stocks and
bonds during the year, it was able to capture the very strong returns offered by
these markets.
 
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD LOWERED THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE BY 0.25% IN JULY
AND BY ANOTHER 0.25% IN DECEMBER. HOW DID THIS AFFECT THE FUND'S ALLOCATION AND
PERFORMANCE?
 
The cuts in the federal funds target rate last year signaled that the Fed
believed the threat of inflation had been reduced. This was a primary cause of
the strong gains in the bond market. The drop in interest rates also partly
helped to fuel the strong rally in stocks. The Fund started the year
overweighted in bonds, with an allocation of approximately 60%. The drop in bond
yields, which measure the total return offered to investors for holding bonds,
reduced the attractiveness of holding bonds relative to stocks or money market
investments. As a result, the Fund reduced its bond position during the year,
thus realizing gains from the bond market rally.

ASSET ALLOCATION FUND (CONTINUED)
 
So far in 1996, the bond market has given back some of the gains of 1995. This
has caused bond yields to move back up and make bonds appear more attractive.
 
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO'S ALLOCATION CHANGE FROM FEBRUARY '95 THROUGH FEBRUARY '96
AND WHY?

February 29, 1996                             60%         20%         20%
</TABLE>
 
On February 29, 1996, the Fund had approximately 60% of its assets allocated to
stocks, 20% to bonds, and 20% to money market instruments. The most consistent
trend in the allocation changes was the reduction of the Fund's bond allocation.
The Fund began with about 60% of its assets invested in bonds in February 1995.
The bond allocation was reduced to 40% in March and reduced again to 20% in May.
 
Most of the proceeds from the bond sales were initially invested in money market
instruments, reflecting the Asset Allocation model's view that the expected
return on stocks was not high enough to fully offset their risk. This move away
from bonds resulted from the rally in the bond market which caused bond yields
to drop. In February 1995, yields on long-term corporate bonds stood at 8.06%;
by June yields had fallen to 7.26%. Since June 1995, yields have fluctuated, but
they stood at about 7.20% again by the end of February.
 
In January 1996, the Fund also shifted 10% of its assets from money market
instruments to stocks.
 
WHEN THE ASSET ALLOCATION MODEL USED BY THE FUND SIGNALS THAT IT IS TIME TO BUY
STOCKS, THE FUND BUYS STOCKS COMPRISING THE S&P 500 USING, TO THE EXTENT
FEASIBLE, THE SAME WEIGHTING REPRESENTED BY THE S&P 500 INDEX. WHY?
 
The Fund seeks to add value and control risk by allocating its portfolio
investments across stocks, bonds and cash. Academic studies have shown that the
asset allocation decision determines most of the return--about 90%--on an
investment portfolio. By buying substantially all the stocks in the S&P 500,
rather than selecting individual issues, and, to the extent
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   7
 
ASSET ALLOCATION FUND (CONTINUED)
 
feasible, buying such stocks in accordance with the weighting system reflected
by the S&P 500, the Fund is using an efficient and diversified method of
investing in the overall U.S. stock market.
 
S&P 500 stocks tend to be very liquid compared to other stocks in the market,
and the cost to trade S&P 500 stocks is comparably low. By keeping costs of
trading low, more of the Fund's capital is preserved.
 
The S&P 500 is designed to be a representative sample of the broad market for
U.S. stocks and is diversified across companies and industry sectors. By
investing in such a diversified portfolio, the Fund reduces the risk of
individual companies having an unduly high influence on the Fund's return while
guaranteeing participation in a broad cross-section of the equity market.
 
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE TO AN INVESTOR IN CHOOSING AN S&P 500 INDEX FUND?
 
When investors choose a fund that invests in the S&P 500, they benefit from a
broadly diversified portfolio of investments that represents over 70% of all
publicly traded U.S. stocks. Investors participate in the total value of 500
large companies spread across all major sectors of the economy, from
telecommunications and consumer goods (such as AT&T and Proctor & Gamble) to
energy and capital goods (Exxon and General Electric). In addition, the S&P 500
Index has outperformed 75% of all equity mutual funds over time. (The S&P 500
Index is an unmanaged index of stocks, is not directly available for investment,
and does not incur expenses. Mutual funds incur expenses, which reduce returns.)

ASSET ALLOCATION FUND (CONTINUED)
 
WERE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE S&P 500 INDEX IN 1995?
 
There were no surprising additions to or deletions from the Index during 1995,
although over 30 new stocks were added, and, consequently, over 30 were dropped.
The Standard & Poor's Index Committee does not simply list the 500 largest
companies in the United States. While assets and trading volumes are important,
the Committee tries to ensure that the Index reasonably represents the economy
as a whole. Companies that typically are deleted are ones that have been in the
Index a long time but have not grown sufficiently to contribute to an accurate
representation of the economy.

DOES THE FUND ANTICIPATE A CORRECTION IN THE SECURITIES MARKETS DURING 1996?
 
Our investment process does not attempt to make short-term predictions, but
tries to identify long-term value across the stock and bond markets. In other
words, the Fund does not attempt to determine exactly when or even how a market
correction will occur, but rather to recognize when markets are relatively over-
or under-valued. Using this technique, the Fund seeks to be correctly positioned
whenever a market correction occurs.

ASSET ALLOCATION FUND (CONTINUED)
 
Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to allocate its investments 60%
to stocks and 40% to bonds.
 
At the end of February 1996, the asset allocation model used to manage the
Fund's assets indicated that the stock market is relatively fairly valued with
respect to both bonds and cash, although both stocks and bonds are offering
lower returns than they have averaged over the past 10 years. The underweighting
in bonds and overweighting in money market instruments during February indicates
that yields on long-term bonds were not compensating investors adequately for
the interest rate risk in bonds.
 
HOW HAS THE APPOINTMENT OF BZW BARCLAYS GLOBAL FUND ADVISORS AS ADVISER TO THE
FUND AFFECTED THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND?
 
On January 1, 1996, BZW Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA") replaced Wells Fargo Bank
as adviser to the Fund. BGFA employs substantially the same personnel and
investment procedures previously used by Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors
("WFNIA"), the Fund's former sub-adviser, and the appointment of BGFA as adviser
to the Fund is not expected to have a material effect on the day-to-day
portfolio management of the Fund. BGFA was formed by the reorganization of WFNIA
with a former affiliate when WFNIA was sold by Wells Fargo Bank to Barclays Bank
PLC.
 
This Fund is organized as a "feeder" fund in a "master feeder" structure.
Instead of investing directly in individual portfolio securities, the "feeder"
fund, which is offered to the public, holds interests in a Master Series that,
in turn, invests in individual securities. References to the Fund are to the
feeder fund or the Master Series, as the context requires. The Master Series is
advised by BGFA.

CHANGE IN VALUE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN ASSET ALLOCATION FUND COMPARED WITH
VARIOUS INDICES
 
The SEC requires mutual funds to provide a line graph comparing fund performance
with an appropriate broad-based index. The following chart shows the performance
of the Asset Allocation Fund since inception compared with the S&P 500 Index and
the Lipper Balanced Fund Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 initial
investment in the Fund, reinvestment of dividends and distributions at net asset
value, and reflects all Fund expenses. Past performance is not predictive of
future results. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of stocks comprised of
500 industrial, financial, utility and transportation companies, "Standard &
Poor's(R)", "S&P(R)", "S&P 500(R)", "Standard & Poor's 500", and "500" are
trademarks of McGraw-Hill, Inc. The Lipper Balanced Fund Index is a net asset
value weighted index of the 30 largest balanced funds tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services; performance is net of all fees and expenses except for
sales charges. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally managed
mutual fund while the S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 widely held
common stocks, does not incur expenses, and is not available directly for
investment. If operating expenses such as the Fund's had been applied to the S&P
500 Index, this Index's comparative performance would have been lower.

WHAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND FOR THE 12-MONTH PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29,
1996?
 
The Fund posted a 12.17% total return, a significant improvement over the prior
twelve months 1.12% return.
 
WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS CHANGE?
 
After a year-long surge of rising interest rates during 1994, the bond market
reversed course and staged an impressive rally during 1995. The market,
apparently responding to expectations of moderate economic growth and low
inflation, drove long-term interest rates, as represented by the yield on the
30-year Treasury bond, from 7.46% in February 1995 to 5.95% at December 31,
1995. Early in 1996, however, the Fed disappointed market expectations of
substantial easing, and long-term interest rates began to rise again, with the
30-year Treasury yield finishing at 6.47% on February 29, 1996. As a result, the
Fund like the market performed strongly during the first part of the period, but
fell back between December and February.
 
THE FEDERAL RESERVE LOWERED THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE BY 0.25% IN JULY AND
BY ANOTHER 0.25% IN DECEMBER. HOW DID THIS AFFECT THE BOND MARKET?
 
In early July, the market rallied somewhat after the rate cut of 0.25%. Later
that same month, however, the bond market reacted negatively to fears of
inflation. The December rate cut strengthened the bond market decisively and
brought the 30-year bond yield to its lowest level in two years. Early in 1996,
however, the Fed began to send market signals indicating that further cuts were
less likely. The bond market responded by declining.

BOND INDEX FUND (CONTINUED)
 
DID THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES CHANGE
DURING 1995?
 
The relationship between long and short-term interest rates changed
significantly during the year primarily due to reports of low inflation and
slowing growth. At the start of the year, long-term interest rates were more
than 2% higher than short-term rates. The higher yields for longer-term bonds
reflected investor concerns about higher inflation rates in the future. As these
concerns diminished throughout the first half of the year, longer-term rates
declined more than short-term rates to bring the interest rate difference down
to about 1%, where it remained for the remainder of 1995. The interest rate
difference expanded to about 1.5% during the first two months of 1996.
 
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO'S ALLOCATION CHANGE DURING THE YEAR IN RESPONSE TO CHANGES
IN INTEREST RATES?
 
Because it seeks to replicate the returns of the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Bond Index, the Fund does not change its allocations based
on market conditions.
 
HOW HAS THE FEDERAL BUDGET DEBATE AFFECTED CONFIDENCE IN U.S. GOVERNMENT
SECURITIES?
 
The federal budget debate generally has made investors in long-term government
bonds a bit more cautious. With the perception that these bonds have become
riskier, investors generally now require an additional yield of about 0.25% to
hold long bonds. When compared to the impact of inflation fears--which generally
add a 1% to 2% additional yield to long bonds--the 0.25% additional yield is
relatively small. We remain convinced that U.S. Government securities remain a
strong benchmark for measuring credit quality.
 
HOW HAS THE APPOINTMENT OF BZW BARCLAYS GLOBAL FUND ADVISORS AS ADVISER TO THE
FUND AFFECTED THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND?
 
On January 1, 1996, BZW Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA") replaced Wells Fargo Bank
as adviser to the Fund. BGFA employs substantially the same personnel and

WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
 
The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 Index last year. The
year's strong performance primarily resulted from the Fund's exposure to the
technology and healthcare sectors. In particular, the Fund benefited from its
investments in semiconductor companies which experienced explosive growth in
earnings due to supply shortages. However, by the fourth quarter, the technology
sector began to experience increasing volatility as supplies of semiconductors
increased causing investor concern about future earnings growth. During the
fourth quarter of 1995, the technology sector declined by approximately 6%. This
performance was somewhat offset by holdings of Intel, Komag and Nokia. During
the fourth quarter of 1995 we increased the Fund's investments in the
biotechnology and healthcare sectors since these sectors experienced strong
performance during 1995. The better performers in the healthcare sector were
Healthsouth, Genzyme, Amgen, and Boston Scientific.
 
WHAT IS THE FUND'S ECONOMIC OUTLOOK?
 
Looking forward, the economic outlook -- a slow growth economy and low
inflation -- will be favorable for growth stocks in 1996. In a slow growth
economic environment, companies that have consistent and high growth earnings
should perform well. With this backdrop we still favor the technology sector,
however we do expect future volatility and stock selection will be key to
performance, especially during the first half of 1996. We are focusing on the
networking and the storage areas of technology. Networking is still experiencing
tremendous growth as businesses focus on group communications and
Internet/Intranet spending. The rapid growth in multimedia applications,
advanced software, on-line

services and communications is increasing the need for digital storage.
Companies that we continue to favor include Adaptec, Cisco and Komag. In
addition, we are continuing to increase our exposure to healthcare and biotech.
We expect the healthcare and biotech sectors to benefit from approval and
development of new drugs and medical devices, many of which are approved or in
the final stage of clinical trials. We also expect the consolidation in the
healthcare industry will continue and to benefit the group as a whole.

The Fund's manager has voluntarily waived portions of its fees or has reimbursed
expenses to the Fund, which has reduced operating expenses for shareholders.
Without this reduction, the Fund's yield would have been lower.
 
WHAT WAS THE FUND'S YIELD AS OF FEBRUARY 29, 1996?
 
For the 7 days ended February 29, 1996, the Fund's 7-day current yield was 4.97%
(Past performance is not predictive of future results). For the period, the
Fund's adviser and administrator voluntarily waived portions of their fees or
assumed responsibility for the other expenses, which has reduced operating
expenses for shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's returns would
have been lower.
 
Short-term interest rates fell dramatically over the year ended February 29,
1996 reacting to sluggish economic growth and moderate inflation. The Federal
Reserve lowered the federal funds target rate from 6.00% to 5.25% in incremental
 .25% moves in July 1995, December 1995, and January 1996. The yield of the 3
month treasury bill was 5.91% on March 1, 1995; as of the end of February, 1996,
that same yield was at 5.02%. Strong demand caused the money market portion of
the yield curve to invert as market participants universally agreed that the
Federal Reserve was in an aggressive easing cycle.
 
WHAT OTHER FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
In anticipation of the previously mentioned Fed easings, the average days to
maturity of the Fund was extended to 70 days. Since then it has varied between
60 and 75 days. This extension allowed the Fund to maintain a higher yield for a
longer period of time as money market yields continued to fall.
 
WHAT TYPES OF INVESTMENTS ARE IN THE PORTFOLIO OF THE MONEY MARKET FUND?
 
As of February 29, 1996, 61% of the Fund's portfolio was invested in commercial
paper of large, well-known companies. The bulk of the paper matured within 30 to
45 days. All corporate securities held in the Fund's portfolio maintain short
term Standard & Poor's/Moody's ratings of A1/P1 or A1+/P1, the highest possible.
Furthermore, the securities purchased by the Fund are in compliance with
guidelines approved by Wells Fargo's Credit Policy Committee.

MONEY MARKET FUND (CONTINUED)
 
WHAT IS THE FUND'S OUTLOOK FOR THE SHORT TERM?
 
The Fund's outlook for 1996 is for lower interest rates. In the short term, we
expect a slight increase in economic growth, but it will not be sustained. The
Fund will continue to maintain a weighted average days to maturity of 60 days
with the purchase of quality, highly liquid securities.
 
The Money Market Fund's date of inception was July 2, 1993. The Money Market
Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00; however, there can
be no assurance that the Fund will meet this objective. Yields will vary with
changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund are neither insured nor
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any other government agency, nor by BGFA.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

WHAT ECONOMIC FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUNDS' STRONG PERFORMANCE?
 
Several factors contributed to the Funds' performance. First, corporate profits
generally rose during the past twelve months and technology stocks performed
especially well. Some of the technology stocks in the S&P 500 Stock Fund which
did well during the past twelve months were Intel (up 48%), Cisco Systems (up
181%), and Microsoft (up 57%). Overall, the technology sector gained an average
of 47% during the last 12 months, fueling much of the S&P 500 gain. Also,
long-term rates, as measured by 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds, rose sharply in
1994, then declined to 5.95% by the end of 1995, or 1.50% lower than the
previous year. Reduced bond yields made equities a relatively more attractive
investment, drawing money into the equity market.
 
WITH THE STOCK MARKET AT OR NEAR HISTORIC HIGHS AS MEASURED BY THE S&P 500,
WOULD IT BE WISE FOR INVESTORS TO TAKE THEIR PROFITS NOW?
 
The decision whether or not to "take profits" depends on the goals of the
individual investor. We do believe that long-term investors will continue to
benefit from the potentially superior returns from common stocks, which have
averaged approximately 10% annually since 1926. Stocks are volatile, however,
and no one should expect 1996 to match 1995's returns. As always, investors
should consider their personal financial objectives when making investment
decisions and an investor's performance expectations should take into account
both long-term and short-term performance.

S&P 500 STOCK FUND (CONTINUED)
 
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE TO AN INVESTOR IN CHOOSING AN S&P 500 INDEX FUND?
 
When investors choose a fund that invests in the S&P 500, they benefit from a
broadly diversified portfolio that represents over 70% of all publicly traded
U.S. stocks. Investors participate in the total value of 500 large companies
spread across all major sectors of the economy, from telecommunications and
consumer goods (such as AT&T and Proctor & Gamble) to energy and capital goods
(Exxon and General Electric). In addition, the S&P 500 Index has outperformed
75% of all equity mutual funds over time. (The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged
index of stocks, is not directly available for investment, and does not incur
expenses. Mutual funds incur expenses, which reduce returns.)
 
                                   [CHART]
 
WERE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE S&P 500 INDEX IN 1995?
 
There were no surprising additions or deletions from the Index during 1995,
although over 30 new stocks were added, and, consequently, over 30 were dropped.
The Standard & Poor's Index Committee does not simply list the 500 largest
companies in the United States. While assets and trading volumes are important,
the Committee tries to ensure that the Index reasonably represents the economy
as a whole. Companies that typically are deleted are ones that have been in the
Index a long time but have not grown sufficiently to contribute to an accurate
representation of the economy.

HOW HAS THE APPOINTMENT OF BZW BARCLAYS GLOBAL FUND ADVISORS AS ADVISER TO THE

On January 1, 1996, BZW Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA") replaced Wells Fargo Bank
as adviser to the Fund. BGFA employs substantially the same personnel and
investment procedures previously used by Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors
("WFNIA"), the Fund's former adviser, and the appointment of BGFA as adviser to
the Fund is not expected to have a material effect on the day-to-day portfolio
management of the Fund. BGFA was formed by the reorganization of WFNIA with a
former affiliate when WFNIA was sold by Wells Fargo Bank to Barclays Bank PLC.
 
This Fund is organized as "feeder" fund in a "master-feeder" structure. Instead
of investing directly in individual portfolio securities, the "feeder" fund,

The Fund's manager has voluntarily waived portions of its fees or has reimbursed
expenses to the Fund, which has reduced operating expenses for shareholders.
Without this reduction, the Fund's returns would have been lower.
 
WHAT WAS THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
The Short-Intermediate Term Fund's total return for the fiscal year ended
February 29, 1996 was 10.07%. (Past performance is not predictive of future
results). The Fund's return was consistent with that of the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index (the Fund's benchmark objective)
which returned 10.75% for the same period. The Fund's performance was achieved
by maintaining an average maturity that has been relatively neutral to the
benchmark and by investing in a mix of government, corporate, and
mortgage-backed securities as allowed by the prospectus.
 
HOW DID THE ECONOMY EFFECT THE BOND MARKET?
 
A sluggish economy and low inflation fueled a strong rally in the bond market in
1995. Interest rates declined by over 2% for intermediate securities, which had
a positive impact on the Fund's total return because the resale value of U.S.
Government securities generally rises as rates drop. The Fund was well
positioned to capture profits available due to price appreciation by selling
securities. Those profits, as well as the interest earnings from the securities,
resulted in a handsome total return for the year. In contrast, rising interest
rates in 1994 had a negative impact on bond prices.
 
The first quarter of 1996 saw a dramatic shift in market sentiment as investors
went from expecting consecutive Federal Reserve interest rate easings to seeing
signs of stronger growth. On January 31 the Federal Reserve eased monetary
policy amid statistics pointing toward slower growth. The Fed Funds rate was
lowered from 5.50% to 5.25% and the

<PAGE>   25
 
SHORT-INTERMEDIATE TERM FUND (CONTINUED)
 
discount rate was lowered from 5.25% to 5.00%. Sentiment began to change in
early February as yields troughed and began to trend higher due to a lack of a
budget agreement and signs of stronger economic growth. Much of this economic
growth is believed to be a temporary bounce back from weather related and
government shutdowns and is not necessarily indicative of the economy's
underlying strength. The result has been a significant rise in rates across the
yield curve. Through February of 1996, 2-year treasury notes increased by 22
basis points and 30 year bonds increased by 53 basis points to yield 5.35% and
6.47% respectively.
 
HOW HAS THE FEDERAL BUDGET DEBATE AFFECTED THE SHORT-INTERMEDIATE TERM FUND?
 
The federal budget debate generally has made investors in long-term government
bonds a bit more cautious. With the perception that these bonds have become more
risky, investors now require an additional yield of about 0.25% to hold long
bonds. However, when compared to the impact of inflation fears -- which
generally add a 1% to 2% additional yield to long bonds -- the 0.25% additional
yield is relatively small. Shorter-term obligations, which are the focus of this
Fund, have been much less affected by this perception. We remain convinced that
U.S. Government securities are the benchmark for credit quality. As always, we
will continue to monitor all developments in Washington D.C. that might affect
the Fund.

<PAGE>   26
 
SHORT-INTERMEDIATE TERM FUND (CONTINUED)
 
WHAT WILL THE FUND'S STRATEGY BE FOR 1996?
 
We anticipate having between 25% and 30% of the Fund's portfolio invested in
mortgage-backed securities and the balance in Treasury instruments with
remaining maturities of up to four years.
 
We believe the apparent strength in the economy is due to temporary factors and
thus is not sustainable. Our outlook for the second half of the year is for the
economy to revert back to slower growth and continued moderate inflation. Within
this environment the Fund will maintain an average portfolio duration of 10% to
15% longer than the Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index. Our
focus will be on intermediate maturities which historically outperform in
periods when the yield curve is steepening. We will continue to hold a core
position in corporate securities as credit quality is expected to remain stable
in this slow growth, low inflation environment. Mortgage pass-through securities
will also continue to provide yield enhancement.
 
This Fund is organized as a "feeder" fund in a "master feeder" structure.
Instead of investing directly in individual portfolio securities, the "feeder"

should note that the Fund is a professionally managed mutual fund while the
Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged
index, does not incur expenses and is not available directly for investment. If
operating expenses such as the Fund's had been applied to the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index, its performance would have been
lower.

Average annual total return for the indicated periods represents the average
annual increase in value of an investment over the indicated periods assuming
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions at net asset value.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and
principal value of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with market conditions so
that shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost.
 
WHAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND FOR THE 12-MONTH PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29,
1996?
 
The Fund posted a 9.89% total return, a significant improvement over the prior
12 months return of - 0.76%.
 
WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS CHANGE?
 
The decline in interest rates during 1995 had a positive impact on the Fund's
total return during the last twelve months because the value of U.S. Government
securities generally rises as interest rates drop. Price appreciation of the
Fund's investments and interest received thereon resulted in a handsome total
return for the year. In contrast, rising interest rates in 1994 had a negative
impact on bond prices and the Fund's performance.
 
THE FEDERAL RESERVE LOWERED THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE BY 0.25% IN JULY AND
BY ANOTHER 0.25% IN DECEMBER. HOW DID THIS AFFECT THE BOND MARKET?
 
In early July, the market rallied somewhat after the rate cut of 0.25%. However,
later that same month, the bond market reacted negatively to fears of inflation.
The December rate cut strengthened the bond market decisively and brought the
30-year bond yield to its lowest level in two years. In February 1996, however,
the Fed began to send the market signals that further cuts were less likely. The
bond market declined in response to these signals.
 
DID THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES CHANGE
DURING 1995?
 
The relationship between long- and short-term interest rates changed
significantly during the year primarily due to reports of low inflation and
slowing growth. At the start of the year, long-term interest rates were more
than 2% higher than short-term rates. The higher yields for longer-term

U.S. TREASURY ALLOCATION FUND (CONTINUED)
 
bonds reflected investor concerns about higher inflation rates in the future. As
these concerns diminished throughout the first half of the year, longer-term
rates declined more than short-term rates to bring the interest rate difference
down to about 1% where it remained for the remainder of 1995.
 
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO'S ALLOCATION CHANGE DURING THE YEAR IN RESPONSE TO CHANGES
IN INTEREST RATES?
 
The Fund invests primarily in three broad categories of assets, each with
different maturity characteristics: U.S. Treasury bills, U.S. Treasury notes,
and U.S. Treasury bonds. At the start of 1995, the Fund was primarily invested
in intermediate-term notes since this sector provided the most attractive yields
when adjusted for risk. As of February 29, 1996, the asset mix of the Fund's
portfolio was approximately 20% long-term bonds, 0% intermediate-term notes and
80% cash. The recent history of the asset mix in the Fund's portfolio is as
follows:

HOW HAS THE FEDERAL BUDGET DEBATE AFFECTED CONFIDENCE IN U.S. GOVERNMENT
SECURITIES?
 
The federal budget debate generally has made investors in long-term government
bonds a bit more cautious. With the perception that these bonds have become
riskier, investors generally now require an additional yield of about 0.25% to
hold long bonds. When compared to the impact of inflation fears, which generally
add a 1% to 2% additional yield to long bonds, the 0.25% additional yield is
relatively small. We remain convinced that U.S. Government securities remain a
strong benchmark for credit

quality. We will continue to monitor developments in Washington D.C. that might
affect the Fund.
 
WILL THE FUND ALTER ITS INVESTMENT STRATEGY IN 1996 IF RATES SHOULD FALL
FARTHER?
 
The U.S. Government Allocation Fund is designed to take advantage of the
relative yield differences between U.S. Treasury-issued long-term bonds,
intermediate-term notes and money market securities in relation to their risks.
Our objective is to position the Fund to make the optimal allocation between
these securities and to take advantage of the potential returns while
controlling the overall level of risk. The Fund's strategy does not depend on
expectations of interest rate increases or decreases in any given year.
 
HOW HAS THE APPOINTMENT OF BZW BARCLAYS GLOBAL FUND ADVISORS AS ADVISER TO THE
FUND AFFECTED THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND?
 
On January 1, 1996, BZW Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA") replaced Wells Fargo Bank
as adviser to the Fund. BGFA employs substantially the same personnel and
investment procedures previously used by Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors
("WFNIA"), the Fund's former sub-adviser, and the appointment of BGFA as adviser
to the Fund is not expected to have a material effect on the day-to-day
portfolio management of the Fund. BGFA was formed by the reorganization of WFNIA
with a former affiliate when WFNIA was sold by Wells Fargo Bank to Barclays Bank
PLC.
 
This Fund is organized as a "feeder" fund in a "master feeder" structure.
Instead of investing directly in individual portfolio securities, the "feeder"
fund, which is offered to the public, holds interests in a Master Series that,
in turn, invests in individual securities. References to the Fund are to the
feeder fund or the Master Series, as the context requires. The Master Series is
advised by BGFA.

CHANGE IN VALUE OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT IN U.S. TREASURY ALLOCATION FUND
COMPARED WITH THE LEHMAN BROTHERS GOVERNMENT BOND INDEX
 
The SEC requires mutual funds to provide a line graph comparing fund performance
with an appropriate broad-based index. The following chart shows the performance
of the U.S. Treasury Allocation Fund since inception compared with the Lehman
Brothers Government Bond Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 initial
investment in the Fund, reinvestment of dividends and distributions at net asset
value, and reflects all Fund expenses. Past performance is not predictive of
future results. The Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index includes all
publicly-issued U.S. Treasury, agency and government-guaranteed corporate debt,
with a final maturity of at least one year and a par amount outstanding of at
least $100 million. Investors should note that the Fund is a professionally
managed mutual fund while the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index is an
unmanaged index, does not incur expenses and is not available directly for
investment. If operating expenses such as the Fund's had been applied to the
Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, its performance would have been lower.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     ORGANIZATION
 
     MasterWorks Funds Inc. (formerly Stagecoach Inc.), (the "Company"), is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
series investment company. The Company commenced operations on July 2, 1993 and
currently is authorized to issue fourteen separate funds, of which the following
have commenced operations: the Asset Allocation Fund, the Bond Index Fund, the
Growth Stock Fund, the Money Market Fund, the S&P 500 Stock Fund, the
Short-Intermediate Term Fund and the U.S. Treasury Allocation Fund (each, a
"Fund", collectively, the "Funds"). The following significant accounting
policies are consistently followed by the Company in the preparation of its
financial statements, and such policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
 
     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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     INVESTMENT POLICY AND SECURITY VALUATION
 
     Each Fund with the exception of the Growth Stock Fund, Money Market Fund
and the Short-Intermediate Term Fund invests all of its assets in a separate
series (each a "Master Series") of Master Investment Portfolio. Each of the
Growth Stock Fund and the Short-Intermediate Term Fund invests all of its assets
in a separate series (also a "Master Series") of Managed Series Investment
Trust. Each Master Series has the same investment objective as the Fund bearing
the corresponding name. The value of each Fund's investment in its corresponding
Master Series reflects that Fund's interest in the net assets of that Master
Series (99.99%, 38.31%, 99.99%, 94.53%, 99.99% and 99.99% for the Asset
Allocation Fund, the Bond Index Fund, the Growth Stock Fund, the S&P 500 Stock
Fund, the Short-Intermediate Term Fund, and the U.S. Treasury Allocation Fund,
respectively, as of February 29, 1996). The Money Market Fund does not invest in
a corresponding Master Series. Investments of each Master

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Series are valued at the last sale price on the primary securities exchange or
national securities market on which such securities are traded. Securities not
listed on an exchange or national securities market, or securities in which
there were no transactions, are valued at the most recent bid prices. Debt
securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. Any restricted securities or other assets for which
recent market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith in accordance with policies approved by the Master
Series' Board of Trustees.
 
     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Securities transactions are accounted for by each Master Series on the date
the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Revenue is recognized by each
Master Series as follows: dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date,
and interest income is recognized on a daily accrual basis. Realized gains and
losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Bond discounts and premiums are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the "Code"). All net investment income and realized and unrealized
capital gains and losses of each Master Series are allocated as required by the
Code.
 
     The Money Market Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio
securities and seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
There is no assurance that the Fund will meet this objective. The amortized cost
method, which involves valuing a security at its cost and amortizing any
discount or premium over the period until maturity, approximates market value.
 
     The performance of each Fund, with the exception of the Money Market Fund,
is directly affected by the performance of the corresponding Master Series. The
financial statements of each Master Series, including the Portfolio of
Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with each Fund's financial statements.
 
     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
     Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell
("repurchase agreements") are treated as collateralized financing transactions
and are recorded at their contracted resale amounts. These repurchase
agreements, if any, are detailed in each Master Series' Portfolio of
Investments. The adviser to the Master Series pools the Master Series'
 
                                       48

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
cash and invests in repurchase agreements entered into by the Master Series. The
Master Series' prospectus requires that the cash investments be fully
collateralized based on values that are marked to market daily. The collateral
is held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the adviser's
responsibility to value collateral daily and to obtain additional collateral as
necessary to maintain the value at equal to or greater than 102% of market
value. The repurchase agreements held in the Master Series as of February 29,
1996 are collateralized by U.S. government securities. The repurchase agreements
were entered into on February 29, 1996.
 
     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
     Each Fund of the Company is treated as a separate entity for federal income
tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund of the Company to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions
applicable to investment companies, as defined in the Code, and to make
distributions of substantially all of its investment company taxable income and
any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards)
sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required. The following
funds had net capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 1995:

     The Company has entered into separate contracts on behalf of the Funds with
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("WFB"), whereby WFB has agreed to provide transfer and

is compensated for transfer and dividend disbursing agency services based on an
annual rate of 0.03% of average daily net assets for all of the Funds except the
Asset Allocation Fund, the Money Market Fund and the U.S. Treasury Allocation
Fund which are charged at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net
assets of the Funds. WFB is compensated for shareholder servicing based on an
annual rate of 0.20% for the Asset Allocation Fund and the U.S. Treasury
Allocation Fund; 0.10% for the Growth Stock Fund and the Short-Intermediate Term
Fund and 0.07% for the Bond Index Fund and the S&P 500 Stock Fund, based on the
average daily net assets of each of these Funds.
 
     Prior to January 1, 1996, WFB served as investment adviser to the Money
Market Fund. WFB furnished to the Fund investment guidance and policy direction
in connection with daily portfolio management of the Fund. The advisory contract
with the Fund provided for advisory fees, which were accrued daily and paid
monthly, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, BZW Barclays Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA")

Institutional Trust Company, N.A. ("WFITC"). Pursuant to an Investment Advisory
Contract with the Money Market Fund, BGFA provides investment guidance and
policy direction in connection with the management of the Money Market Fund's
assets. BGFA is entitled to receive from WFB a monthly fee at an annual rate of

outstanding voting securities, became a wholly owned subsidiary of BZW Barclays

was renamed BZW Barclays Global Investors, N.A. ("BGI"). BGI replaced WFB as the
Money Market Fund's custodian. BGFA is a subsidiary of BGI. BGI will not be
entitled to receive compensation for its custodial services so long as BGFA is
entitled to receive fees for providing investment advisory services to the Money
Market Fund.

300 million shares. Transactions in capital shares, for each Fund, are disclosed
in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
 
4.   ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDS
 
     Certain Funds are successors to certain assets of collective investment
funds managed by WFB. A portion of the assets of the collective investment funds
were transferred to the Funds on behalf of the Retirement Plans wishing to
liquidate their collective investment fund holdings and acquire corresponding
investments in the Funds. Such transfers occurred at or shortly after the
commencement of operations of the Funds. In addition, two "special" meetings
were held in 1994 which affected the organization of the Funds. At a special
meeting held February 14, 1994, the shareholders voted to change the name of the
Company from "WellsFunds Inc." to "Stagecoach Inc." At a special meeting held
January 31, 1994, the shareholders of the Funds approved the reorganization of
certain funds into a "master-feeder" structure, whereby the existing Funds
invest all of their assets in a corresponding series of the Master Investment
Portfolio or the Managed Series Investment Trust (both open-end registered
investment companies). On the conversion date the funds transferred their
investments to the corresponding Master Series in exchange for shares in the
corresponding Master Series. Certain existing funds then became "feeder" funds.
This reorganization was effected in May 1994. The reorganization had no impact
to shareholders of the existing funds except that certain advisory fees were
contractually reduced.
 
     Effective on March 15, 1996, the corporate name of Stagecoach Inc. was
changed to "MasterWorks Funds Inc."
 
5.   ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA DEBT SECURITIES
 
     During the year the Money Market Fund held obligations issued by Orange
County, California. Orange County filed for protection under Chapter 9 of the
Federal Bankruptcy Code on December 6, 1994, and defaulted on such securities on
July 10, 1995. The bankruptcy court trustee approved an extension of the
obligation's maturity to June 30, 1996, and modification of certain other terms,
including increasing the interest rate and providing for some portion of
interest to accrue until the maturity date rather than being due and payable
monthly. Concurrent with the default by Orange County, the Company entered into
a Credit

Enhancement Agreement (the "Agreement") with WFB, pursuant to which the Fund was
named as a beneficiary of an irrevocable letter of credit issued by Bank of
America National Trust and Savings Association ("Bank of America"). The
Agreement provided support for a portion of the Orange County obligations such
that Bank of America would make certain payments to the Fund under defined
circumstances.
 
     During the period from September 19, 1995 through October 17, 1995, the
Money Market Fund sold all of its Orange County obligations. Under the terms of
the Agreement, the sale of such obligations did not result in any payments from
Bank of America to the Money Market Fund.

Stock Fund, Short-Intermediate Term Fund and U.S. Treasury Allocation Fund) as
of February 29, 1996, and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated
herein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Company's 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 verification of securities owned as of
February 29, 1996, by examination and other appropriate audit 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the aforementioned funds of MasterWorks Funds, Inc. as of February 29,
1996, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their
financial highlights for the periods indicated herein in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     ORGANIZATION
 
     Master Investment Portfolio ("Master Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end
management investment company. Master Portfolio was organized on October 21,
1993 as a Delaware business trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of
Trust dated May 14, 1993 and had no operations prior to May 26, 1994. Master
Portfolio is currently authorized to issue fourteen separate diversified
portfolios (the "Master Series"), of which the following have commenced
operations: LifePath 2000 Master Series, LifePath 2010 Master Series, LifePath
2020 Master Series, LifePath 2030 Master Series, LifePath 2040 Master Series,
Asset Allocation Master Series, Bond Index Master Series, S&P 500 Index Master
Series and U.S. Treasury Allocation Master Series.
 
     These Master Series invest in a range of securities, generally including
money market instruments, equities and U.S. government securities. The following
significant accounting policies are consistently followed by Master Portfolio in
the preparation of its financial statements, and such policies are in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. The
financial statements for each of the LifePath Master Series are presented
separately.
 
     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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     SECURITY VALUATION
 
     The securities of each Master Series are valued at the last sale price on
the primary securities exchange or national securities market on which such
securities are traded. Securities not listed on an exchange or national
securities market, or securities in which there were no transactions, are valued
at the most recent bid prices. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
                                       110
<PAGE>   114
 
MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Debt securities, other than those maturing in 60 days or less, are valued at the
latest quoted bid price. Any securities, restricted securities or other assets
for which recent market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith in accordance with policies approved by the
Master Portfolio's Board of Trustees.
 
     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend
date, and interest income is recognized on a daily accrual basis. Realized gains
or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Bond discounts and premiums are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code").
 
     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
     Each Master Series of the Master Portfolio intends to qualify for federal
income tax purposes as a partnership. Each Master Series therefore believes that
it will not be subject to any federal income tax on its income and net realized
capital gains (if any). However, each investor in a Master Series will be
taxable on its allocable share of the partnership's income for purposes of
determining its federal income tax liability. The determination of such share
will be made in accordance with the Code. It is intended that each Master
Series' assets, income and allocations will be managed in such a way that a
regulated investment company investing in a Master Series will be able to
satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that an
investment company invested all of its assets in a Master Series.
 
     FUTURES CONTRACTS
 
     The S&P 500 Index Master Series may purchase futures contracts to gain
exposure to market changes as this may be more efficient or cost effective than
actually buying the securities. A futures contract is an agreement between two
parties to buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date and is
exchange traded. Upon entering into such a contract, the S&P 500 Index Master
Series is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government
securities or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum "initial
margin" requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Master
Series agrees to receive

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in
the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation
margin" and are recorded by the Master Series as unrealized gains or losses.
When the contract is closed, the Master Series 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. Pursuant to regulations and/or
published positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the S&P 500 Index
Master Series is required to segregate cash or high quality, liquid debt
instruments in connection with futures transactions in an amount generally equal
to the entire value of the underlying contracts. Risks of entering into futures
contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that
a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the
value of the underlying securities. As of February 29, 1996, the S&P 500 Index
Master Series had the following open futures contracts:

     The S&P 500 Index Master Series has pledged to brokers U.S. Treasury Bills

2.   AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
     Prior to January 1, 1996 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("WFB") served as
investment adviser to each Master Series. WFB had provided investment guidance
and policy direction in connection with daily portfolio management of each
Master Series. For the Asset Allocation Master Series, the Bond Index Master
Series, the S&P 500 Index Master Series, and the U.S. Treasury Allocation Master
Series, WFB was entitled to be compensated monthly, at annual rates of 0.35%,
0.08%, 0.05% and 0.30% of the respective average daily net assets of each of
these Master Series.
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, BZW Barclays Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA")
replaced WFB as investment adviser to each of the Asset Allocation, Bond Index,
S&P 500 Index and U.S. Treasury Allocation Master Series of Master Investment
Portfolio. BGFA was created by the reorganization of Wells Fargo Nikko
Investment Advisors ("WFNIA"), the former sub-adviser to each Master Series,
with and into an affiliate of Wells

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Fargo Institutional Trust Company, N.A. ("WFITC"). Pursuant to an Investment
Advisory Contract with each Master Series, BGFA provides investment guidance and
policy direction in connection with the management of each Master Series'
assets. The same WFNIA investment professionals that were previously responsible
for the day-to-day management of each Master Series' investment portfolio will
continue to manage each Master Series' investment portfolio using the approach
developed by WFNIA. BGFA is entitled to receive from WFB 0.35%, 0.08%, 0.05% and
0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Asset Allocation, Bond Index, S&P
500 Index and U.S. Treasury Allocation Master Series, respectively, as
compensation for its advisory services to such Master Series. Effective January
1, 1996, each Master Series no longer retains a sub-investment adviser. BGFA is
an indirect subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC.
 
     Prior to January 1, 1996, WFNIA served as sub-adviser to the Asset
Allocation, Bond Index, S&P 500 Index and U.S. Treasury Allocation Master
Portfolios. Pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements, WFNIA, subject to the
supervision and approval of WFB, provided investment advisory assistance and the
day-to-day management of each Master Series' assets, subject to the overall
authority of the Master Portfolio's Board of Trustees. For providing these
services, WFNIA was compensated by WFB.
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, WFITC, due to a change in control of its
outstanding voting securities, became a wholly owned subsidiary of BZW Barclays
Global Investors Holdings Inc. (formerly, The Nikko Building U.S.A., Inc.) and
was renamed BZW Barclays Global Investors, N.A. ("BGI"). BGI currently acts as
custodian to each of the Asset Allocation, Bond Index, S&P 500 Index and U.S.
Treasury Allocation Master Portfolios. BGI will not be entitled to receive
compensation for its custodial services so long as BGFA is entitled to receive
fees for providing investment advisory services to the Master Series.
 
     ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
 
     Stephens Inc. ("Stephens"), the administrator, sponsor and distributor for
the Master Series, has paid all expenses in connection with the Master Series'
organization and initial registration. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement,
Stephens has agreed to assume all operating expenses of the Asset Allocation
Master Series and the U.S. Treasury Allocation Master Series, except for
advisory fees, interest, brokerage fees and commissions, if any, costs of
independent pricing services and any extraordinary expenses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     Certain fees have been waived by WFB or BGI for the Master Series, with the
exception of U.S. Treasury Allocation Master Series, for the year ended February
29, 1996. Waived fees continue at the discretion of BGI.
 
     Certain officers and directors of the Master Portfolio are also officers of
Stephens. As of February 29, 1996, these officers of Stephens collectively owned
less than 1% of the Master Series' outstanding beneficial interests.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
5.   ORGANIZATION OF THE MASTER SERIES
 
     At a special meeting held January 31, 1994, the shareholders of the Asset
Allocation Fund, Bond Index Fund, S&P 500 Stock Fund and U.S. Treasury
Allocation Fund (the "Funds") approved the reorganization of certain funds into
a "master-feeder" structure, whereby the existing funds invest all of their
assets in a corresponding series of the Master Portfolio. As of end of day May
25, 1994, the Funds transferred their investments to the corresponding Master
Series of Master Portfolio in exchange for shares in the corresponding Master
Series. The transfer of assets was accomplished as a tax-free exchange. The
investments transferred had costs of $221,581,217, $16,556,893, $157,312,274 and
$51,537,523, and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $(9,431,883),

to March 1, 1995, were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 20,
1995, expressed an unqualified opinion on this information.
 
     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 verification of securities owned as of
February 29, 1996, by examination and other appropriate audit 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the aforementioned master series of Master Investment Portfolio as of
February 29, 1996, the results of their operations, the changes in their net
assets and their financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

MANAGED SERIES INVESTMENT TRUST
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     ORGANIZATION
 
     Managed Series Investment Trust ("Master Trust") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Master Trust was organized as a Delaware business trust pursuant to
an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated October 28, 1993. The Master Trust
consists of eight separate portfolios (the "Master Series"): Growth Stock Master
Series, Short-Intermediate Term Master Series, Growth and Income Master Series,
California Tax-Free Intermediate Income Master Series, California Tax-Free Money
Market Master Series, California Tax-Free Short-Term Income Master Series,
Tax-Free Intermediate Income Master Series and the Tax-Free Money Market Master
Series. At February 29, 1996 the Growth and Income Master Series, California
Tax-Free Intermediate Income Master Series, California Tax-Free Money Market
Master Series, California Tax-Free Short-Term Income Master Series, Tax-Free
Intermediate Income Master Series and the Tax-Free Money Market Master Series
had not yet commenced operations.
 
     These Master Series invest in a range of securities, generally including
money market instruments, equities and U.S. government securities. The following
significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Master Trust in
the preparation of its financial statements, and such policies are in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
 
     SECURITY VALUATION
 
     The securities of each Master Series are valued at the last sale price on
the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities
primarily are traded. Securities not listed on an exchange or national
securities market, or securities in which there were no transactions, are valued
at the most recent bid prices. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Any securities,
restricted securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not
readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in
accordance with policies approved by the Master Trust's Board of Trustees.

MANAGED SERIES INVESTMENT TRUST
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend
date, and interest income is recognized on a daily accrual basis. Realized gains
or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Bond discounts and premiums are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code").
 
     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
     Each Master Series of the Master Trust intends to qualify for federal
income tax purposes as a partnership. Each Master Series therefore believes that
it will not be subject to any federal income tax on its income and net realized
capital gains (if any). However, each investor in a Master Series will be
taxable on its allocable share of the partnership's income for purposes of
determining its federal income tax liability. The determination of such share
will be made in accordance with the Code. It is intended that each Master
Series' assets, income and allocations will be managed in such a way that a
regulated investment company investing in a Master Series will be able to
satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that an
investment company invested all of its assets in a Master Series.
 
     ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
 
     Stephens has paid all expenses in connection with the Master Series'
organization and initial registration.
 
     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
     Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell
("repurchase agreements") are treated as collateralized financing transactions
and are recorded at their contracted resale amounts. These repurchase
agreements, if any, are detailed in each Master Series' Portfolio of
Investments. The adviser to the Master Series pools the Master Series' cash and
invests in repurchase agreements entered into by the Master Series. The Master
Series' prospectus requires that the cash investments be fully collateralized
based on values that are marked to market daily. The collateral is held by an
agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the adviser's responsibility to
value collateral daily and to obtain additional collateral as necessary to
maintain the value at equal to or greater than 102% of market value. The
repurchase agreements held in the Master

Series as of February 29, 1996 are collateralized by U.S. Government Securities.
The repurchase agreements were entered into on February 29, 1996.
 
2.   AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
     Prior to January 1, 1996 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("WFB") served as
investment adviser to the Growth Stock Master Series and the Short-Intermediate
Term Master Series. WFB furnished each Master Series with investment guidance
and policy direction in connection with daily portfolio management. WFB was
entitled to receive monthly fees at annual rates of 0.60% and 0.45% of the
average daily net assets of the Growth Stock and Short-Intermediate Term Master
Series, respectively.
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, BZW Barclays Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA")
replaced WFB as investment adviser to the Growth Stock Master Series and the
Short-Intermediate Term Master Series of Managed Series Investment Trust. BGFA
was created by the reorganization of Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisors, a
former affiliate of WFB, with and into an affiliate of Wells Fargo Institutional
Trust Company, N.A. ("WFITC"). BGFA provides investment guidance and policy
direction in connection with the management of each Master Series' assets. BGFA
is entitled to receive monthly fees at the annual rate of 0.60% and 0.45% of the
average daily net assets of the Growth Stock Master Series and
Short-Intermediate Term Master Series, respectively, as compensation for its
advisory services. BGFA is an indirect subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC.
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, WFB serves as sub-adviser to each Master Series.
As sub-adviser, WFB is responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of
each Master Series. WFB is entitled to receive from BGFA an amount equal to
0.15% and 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Growth Stock and
Short-Intermediate Term Master Series, respectively, as compensation for its
sub-advisory services.
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, WFITC, due to a change in control of its
outstanding voting securities, became a wholly owned subsidiary of BZW Barclays
Global Investors Holdings Inc. (formerly, The Nikko Building U.S.A., Inc.) and
was renamed BZW Barclays Global Investors, N.A. ("BGI"). BGI currently acts as
custodian to each Master Series. BGI is not entitled to receive compensation for
its custodial services to each Fund

     At a special meeting held January 31, 1994, the shareholders of the Growth
Stock Fund and the Short-Intermediate Term Fund (the Funds) approved the
reorganization of certain funds into a "master-feeder" structure, whereby the
existing funds invest all of their assets in a corresponding series of the
Managed Series Investment Trust. As of the end of day May 25, 1994, the Funds
transferred their investments to the corresponding Master Series of Managed
Series Investment Trust in exchange for shares in the corresponding Master
Series. The investments transferred had costs of $48,121,213 and $7,401,856 and
unrealized depreciation of $899,189 and $285,454, respectively.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
MANAGED SERIES INVESTMENT TRUST:
 
     We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of Managed Series Investment Trust
(comprising, respectively, Growth Stock Master Series and Short-Intermediate
Term Master Series) as of February 29, 1996, and the related statements of
operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets
and financial highlights set forth in note 4 for the year then ended and for the
period from May 26, 1994 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 1995.

the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

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 verification of securities owned as of
February 29, 1996, by examination and other appropriate audit 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the aforementioned master series of Managed Series Investment Trust as
of February 29, 1996, the results of their operations, the changes in their net
