TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
 
  The seemingly endless bull market continues for U.S. equities with the S&P
500 Index returning 14.78% for the six months ended August 31, 1997. With
inflation at a 30 year low, unemployment at its lowest level since 1973, and
the Federal Reserve Bank's decision to leave short-term interest rates alone
(after a 25 basis point increase in March to 5.50%), the equity market
continues to reach new highs. The S&P 500 Index set record highs 26 times
during the period, and closed on August 31, 1997 at 899.47.
 
  Performance in the bond markets during the six-month period has been less
spectacular as these markets have experienced substantial volatility. Fixed
income securities have historically reacted more strongly than equity
securities to economic indicators which are released from time to time
throughout the year. The combination of economic growth, continued low
inflation, a declining budget deficit and a decrease in the supply of Treasury
securities has affected yields across all maturities. The U.S. bond market, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned 4.39% during
this period.
 
  Although many market indicators are currently positive and investors are
enjoying one of the most profitable bull markets in history, stock market
valuation is still considered to be very high. Volatility in the overall market
is at its highest level since 1990. The old adage, "what goes up, must come
down" proved itself true in August. After posting positive gains for the year
through July, both the stock and bond markets declined in August. The decline
was unpredictable as the markets fell without compelling economic or interest
rate news. In an environment of relative economic stability, the markets have
reacted strongly to news such as comments made by Japanese Prime Minister
Ryutaro Hashimoto, which were interpreted by the market as a threat to sell
U.S. Treasury securities. Both the stock and bond markets fell significantly in
reaction to this comment, even though no action had been taken.
 
  Some market participants are concerned that the economy is operating near
capacity and wondering how much longer the market can expand at its current
pace without rekindling inflation. Many think corporate profits are not strong
enough to support the growth of the underlying securities in the S&P 500 Index.
With all of this uncertainty, your focus needs to be on building a long term
investment strategy. There are ways to limit the negative impact to your
portfolio caused by unfavorable market swings. The more exposure you have to
stocks, the more market uncertainty you will experience. But with higher equity
exposure should come higher long-run returns. If you have a heavier
 
                                                                               1

allocation in fixed income securities and cash, your portfolio should produce
moderate returns with more moderate risk over the long term than equities.
 
  The MasterWorks(R) Funds offer a variety of products that will help you with
the asset allocation of your portfolio. If you are a "do-it-yourself" investor,
you can build your own allocation using the S&P 500 Stock Fund for equity
exposure, the Bond Index Fund for fixed income exposure and the Money Market
Fund for cash exposure. The Asset Allocation Fund makes asset allocation
decisions automatically based on current market conditions and the application
of consistent risk/return tradeoffs relative to other asset classes. If you are
an investor that has a specific investment time horizon in mind, or want
broader diversification, the LifePath Funds offer five allocation strategies
with five different time horizons. These Funds are designed to maximize
performance across seventeen different asset classes, while quantitatively
measuring risk given your specific investment time horizon.
 
  We believe that a consistent investment strategy is necessary in meeting your
financial goals. The MasterWorks(R) Funds offer a variety of portfolios
designed to meet a broad range of investment goals. In this report, you will
find detailed financial and portfolio information on each of the Funds in the
MasterWorks family. This will give you the insight and information to evaluate
individual fund performance and strategy.
 
  We value our shareholders and will continue to strive to provide you with
high quality, cost-effective investment portfolios to help you meet your
financial goals.

1997?
 
The Fund posted a 9.24% total return for the period.
 
WITH THE RECENT S&P 500 VOLATILITY EXPERIENCED IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST, WHAT
MAKES THE FUND ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS? HOW HAS THE FUND POSITIONED ITSELF AT
SUCH UNCERTAIN TIMES?
 
In these times of market volatility, it is extremely important to diversify
your investment risk, while participating in returns. The Asset Allocation Fund
seeks to ensure that investors are rewarded with an appropriate return for the
amount of risk taken. To this end, the Fund kept a substantial position in
bonds through the six-month period ended 8/31/97, even though the equity market
experienced fluctuating growth. The Fund also attempts to capture equity
return, for example, the Fund had an equity position of 50% as of 8/31/97. This
allowed the Fund to participate in the equity market while mitigating the
potential risks inherent in equity investing. This positioning can be
advantageous when, for example, the equity class, as measured by the S&P 500
Index, returned -5.60% in August. The fixed income class, as measured by the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, returned -0.85% during the same period.
The Fund, subsequently, had a return of -4.42%. The allocation across multiple
asset classes acts as a diversification against any one asset class negative
performance.
 
HOW HAS THE ASSET MIX CHANGED OVER THE PAST SIX-MONTH PERIOD? WHY?
 
The Asset Allocation Fund began the year (1/1/97) with an asset mix of 40%
stocks, 60% bonds and 0% in cash. The allocation remained very close to this
mix throughout the first six months of the year. In July,
 
                                                                               3
<PAGE>
 
ASSET ALLOCATION FUND (CONTINUED)
 
the Fund increased its allocation in stocks achieving a mix of 50% stocks, 50%
bonds and 0% in cash as of 8/31/97. This allocation shift was partly the result
of falling bond yields following the Federal Reserve Board's decision to leave
short-term interest rates unchanged. The Fund's allocation reflects the
anticipated relative risk and return of stocks, bonds and cash. Although stocks
are currently perceived as overvalued, we believe neither bonds nor cash offer
very compelling alternatives relative to risk/return models.
 
 BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE KEY FACTORS ON WHICH THE FUND BASES ITS ASSET ALLOCATION
STRATEGY.
 
The Asset Allocation Fund focuses on relative value among stocks, bonds, and
cash. The term "value" as it is used here is meant to describe the price an
investor is paying for an investment's anticipated potential earnings. So even
though a stock may be expected to pay high dividends, if this stock's price is
also extremely high, then it is not a good "value". The Fund also looks at
relative value across asset classes. Some asset classes will have a higher
perceived value as a result of their expected return relative to the risk
associated with the particular investment. The Fund analyzes the potential
value associated with each asset class (stocks, bonds, cash) then determines an
appropriate mix of these assets to balance their value and their risks.
 
 
This Fund is organized as a "feeder" fund in a "master-feeder" structure.
Instead of investing directly in the individual portfolio securities, the
"feeder" fund, which is offered to the public, holds interests in the net
assets of the Master Portfolio that, in turn, invests in individual securities.
References to the Fund are to the feeder fund or the Master Portfolio, as the
context requires. The Master Portfolio is advised by BGFA.

1997?
 
The Fund posted a 4.06% total return for the period. For the six months ended
August 31, the total return of the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond
Index was 4.36%.
 
WHAT ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTED TO THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF
THE BOND MARKET AND THE FUND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997?
 
For the six-month period ended 8/31/97, U.S. economic conditions have been
generally favorable for the bond market. Although many bond investors have been
concerned that the economy may be growing so fast that inflationary pressures
may develop in the future, to date there have been few signs of a pickup in
inflation. To the contrary, the economy is operating at high capacity with a
very low unemployment rate and inflation is at its lowest level in 30 years.
Tightness in the labor market largely has been offset by improvements in
productivity, so that labor costs per unit of output have remained low. As a
result, corporate profitability remains healthy. This, along with heightened
competition, has kept prices stable.
 
In the first quarter of 1997 GDP grew at a robust annual rate of 4.9%. Late in
March, the Federal Reserve Board voted to raise the federal funds rate from
5.25% to 5.50% in an effort to restrain growth. Economic growth slowed somewhat
in the second quarter to 3.6%. Long term interest rates also rose in March;
later, as indications of a slowing economy emerged, interest rates declined.
For example, the yield of the 30-year Treasury bond rose from 6.80% at the end
of February to 7.10% at the end of March. From there, Treasury-Bond
 
                                                                               5

BOND INDEX FUND (CONTINUED)
 
yields declined steadily, reaching 6.30% at the end of July, before rising to
6.60% at the end of August. March and August were the only months posting
negative returns. Overall, however, the Fund showed moderate growth over the
six-month period with a 4.06% return.
 
THERE HAVE BEEN NEWS REPORTS THAT MANY INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUNDS HAVE
RECENTLY BEGUN TO REACH FOR YIELD BY HOLDING "JUNK" BONDS, FOREIGN GOVERNMENT
BONDS, AND EMERGING MARKET DEBT. DOES THE FUND HOLD ANY SUCH SECURITIES?
 
No. Higher yield comes at the expense of higher risk, and unlike other funds,
the Bond Index fund invests only in high-grade bonds denominated in U.S.
dollars. Our goal is to consistently and economically deliver the performance
of the Fund's Benchmark--Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index. In
order to accomplish this, we minimize differences between the structure of the
fund and the index by attempting to match both the risk and return
characteristics of the index.

WHAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31,
1997?
 
The Fund posted a 16.56% total return for the period.
 
AFTER A SLOW START BEGINNING THE PERIOD, THE FUND HAS HAD STRONG PERFORMANCE
SINCE MAY. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE TURNAROUND OF THE
FUND?
 
The Fund benefited by being overweighted in three sectors, technology,
healthcare and energy service, which had exceptional second quarter returns.
The sharp rebound incurred by the small cap stocks in the Fund's portfolio also
had a positive impact on the Fund's performance.
 
At the beginning of the year, many investors were concerned about a possible
Federal Reserve tightening resulting in higher interest rates and a decline in
the relative earnings growth rates of small versus large cap companies. These
concerns were reflected in the significant underperformance of small and mid
cap growth funds prior to April 1997. Late in April, however, the proposed bal-
anced budget amendment and the realization of a slower-growing economy put a
spotlight on growth stocks. This was a major turning point for small and mid-
cap growth stocks. The market reacted and began to take advantage of the per-
ception that small and mid-cap stocks were significantly undervalued.
 
ARE THERE ANY SECTORS THAT ARE EXPECTED TO BE ESPECIALLY STRONG IN THE NEXT SIX
MONTHS? HOW ARE YOU POSITIONING THE FUND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS POTENTIAL
GROWTH?
 
The Fund continues to emphasize oil service stocks, largely because the upward
trend in drilling activity shows little sign of slowing. Companies that provide
outsource services appear to be well positioned for
 
                                                                               7

GROWTH STOCK FUND (CONTINUED)
 
the next few months as corporate America continues to look for ways to reduce
costs. The Fund has two basic approaches, one which looks at sector opportuni-
ties, the other looks at opportunities in individual stocks. We believe this
second approach presents more potential opportunities in the upcoming months.
 
 
 
 
This Fund is organized as a "feeder" fund in a "master-feeder" structure. In-
stead of investing directly in the individual portfolio securities, the "feed-

CAN YOU BRIEFLY STATE THE PRIMARY FACTORS THAT DROVE PERFORMANCE IN THE
FOLLOWING ASSET CLASSES?
 
EQUITY
 
Large Cap Value--Increasing corporate earnings and a strong economy increased
total returns for large company stocks. The increased corporate earnings, in
particular, justify and support higher stock prices in many investors' minds.
 
Medium Cap Growth--Similar to large cap value stocks, increased earnings, a
strong economy and low inflation easing interest rate hike fears have helped to
propel this asset class.
 
International (Except Japan)--The international equity market has shown a high
correlation to the U.S. equity market over the last year or two, while also
experiencing strong corporate earnings and growing economies.
 
                                                                               9
<PAGE>
 
LIFEPATH(R) FUNDS (CONTINUED)
 
FIXED INCOME
 
Intermediate Government--Intermediate Government bonds aren't as interest rate
sensitive as long government bonds. As a result, they did not fall as much as
long bonds in March, nor did they experience an equal rally in July as the
Federal Reserve eased inflation fears by not raising interest rates.
 
THE TOTAL RETURNS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997 (PROVIDED
ABOVE) SHOW A SPREAD FROM 5.64% TO 13.33%. THIS IS A RELATIVELY SMALLER SPREAD
THAN IN THE PAST YEAR. WHY?
 
The portfolio asset mixes of the LifePath Funds are very different. The
LifePath 2040 Fund is more heavily weighted in equities than other Funds, while
the LifePath 2000 Fund has a much greater allocation to shorter term, fixed
income investments than other Funds. The spread between the returns of these
Funds is highly dependent on the divergent returns of stocks and bonds. Over
the last year, stocks have outperformed bonds by a large and, arguably, unusual
amount. After some impressive gains in June and July, the stock market, as
represented by the S&P 500 Index, dropped 5.6% during August, while the bond
market, as represented by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, fell 0.85%.
As a result, the returns of the Funds converged somewhat in the three-month
period. For the last year, however, stocks have outperformed these bonds by
about 32%, which causes the relatively large spread that's been observed.
 
THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF A FUND, ARE ALLOCATION SHIFTS BETWEEN ASSET CLASSES MORE
STRATEGIC OR TACTICAL IN NATURE?
 
The majority (about 75%) of the asset allocation in each Fund's portfolio is
determined by a long-term strategic view. Short-term or day-to-day swings in
the stock market will have only small effects on the strategic allocation. To
take advantage of shorter-term market conditions, the Funds make tactical
allocation shifts. As an example, in the beginning of the year, the Funds made
small shifts into bonds as the stock market rose. With the recent bond market
rally and subsequent lower yields, stocks have become slightly more attractive
on a relative basis. As a result, the Funds' allocation to stocks has shifted
back and risen to about the level seen at the start of the year.
 
WHAT FACTORS COME INTO PLAY WHEN SHIFTING ASSETS BETWEEN THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT
OPTIONS? DO YOU SHIFT INTO UNDERVALUED CLASSES (A MORE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH) OR
AWAY FROM OVERVALUED CLASSES (A MORE DEFENSIVE OR CONSERVATIVE APPROACH)?
 
The majority of the total allocation is strategic in nature. As each Fund nears
its target date, the allocation becomes more conservative and should see a
corresponding reduction in risk. Forty years from now, the

strategic allocation of LifePath 2040 will look very similar to the strategic
allocation of today's LifePath 2000.
 
The tactical allocation (the short-term shifting between asset classes) makes
up a much smaller portion (about 25%) of each Fund's entire asset allocation.
There are two types of tactical allocations. One that allocates between stocks,
bonds and cash and another that shifts from long duration bonds, to short
duration bonds and cash. The second one is more conservative in nature and
plays a bigger role in the LifePath 2000 Fund than in the other Funds. The
weight given to tactical moves is the same for each of the five Funds.
 
 
 
 
Each Fund is organized as a "feeder" fund in a "master-feeder" structure.
Instead of investing directly in the individual portfolio securities, the
"feeder" fund, which is offered to the public, holds interests in the net
assets of a Master Portfolio that, in turn, invests in individual securities.
References to a Fund are to the feeder fund or the Master Portfolio, as the
context requires. Each Master Portfolio is advised by BGFA.

The 7-Day Yield is an annualized yield for the seven day period ended August
31, 1997. Yield reflects fluctuations in interest rates on portfolio invest-
ments and Fund expenses.
 
The Fund's manager has voluntarily waived portions of its fees to the Fund,
which has reduced operating expenses for shareholders. Without this reduction,
the Fund's returns would have been lower.
 
HOW HAS THE U.S. ECONOMY AFFECTED SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES AND HOW HAS THE
ECONOMY IN TURN AFFECTED THE FUND?
 
Since the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates in late March, the
market has anticipated a slowing economy. Short-term interest rates have,
therefore, declined over the last several months. The Fund has lengthened its
average maturity to lock in yields as rates decline.
 
WHAT TYPES OF INVESTMENTS ARE IN THE PORTFOLIO?
 
The Fund invests in a variety of short-term money market instruments, including
high-grade commercial paper and certificates of deposit. This generally
provides high credit quality along with a high level of liquidity.

The Fund's manager has voluntarily waived portions of its fees to the Fund,
which has reduced operating expenses for shareholders. Without this reduction,

WHAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE FOR THE FUND FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31,
1997?
 
The Fund posted a 14.65% total return for the period. The S&P 500 Index
returned 14.78% during the same period.
 
WHAT ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS PERFORMANCE?
 
The U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 20.58% for
the first half of 1997. This half-year return almost matches the 22.95% return
posted for the entire 1996 calendar year. During the year, growth stocks in the
S&P 500 Index outperformed the value stocks, returning 24.49% versus 16.49%,
respectively. The high returns of the first half of 1997 were largely
concentrated in the second quarter, as the market responded to the reporting of
healthy first-quarter earnings which were 19% above those of the previous year.
August experienced substantial volatility with the market, as represented by
the S&P 500 Index, down -5.60% for the month. Overall, however, performance for
the six-month period remained positive.
 
WERE THERE ANY MAJOR ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE S&P 500 INDEX IN 1997? WHY?
 
A deletion and subsequent addition to the S&P 500 Index is usually the result
of a corporate action (e.g. mergers, restructurings, tenders) which causes a
vacancy in the S&P 500 Index. Standard & Poor's will occasionally remove a name
due to lack of representation or due to bankruptcy. Following are the list of
additions and deletions to the S&P 500 Index year-to-date through August 1997:

WHAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE FOR THE FUND FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31,
1997?
 
The Fund posted a 3.83% total return for the period.
 
HOW HAS THE SHORT TO INTERMEDIATE BOND SECTOR PERFORMED WITH RESPECT TO THE
REST OF THE BOND SECTORS IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
 
Over the past six months interest rates have generally declined. For example,
the yield on the 5-year Treasury note has declined from 6.60% to its current
level of 6% (as of 8/31/97). While falling rates enhance the returns of all
bonds, longer-term bonds tend to outperform intermediate notes.
 
HOW DID THE ECONOMY AFFECT THE INTERMEDIATE BOND MARKET OF THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
HOW HAVE THE LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES AFFECTED THE BOND MARKET?
 
The U.S. economy slowed from its robust growth rate of 4.9% in the first
quarter to a more sustainable growth rate of 3.6% in the second quarter.
Inflation has remained very low at 2.2% year-over-year. Slowing growth with
moderate inflation has provided an environment for interest rates to decline.
Since the end of the second quarter 2-year Treasury note prices have declined
by 60 basis points with long bond prices declining 65 basis points to yield
5.80% and 6.40% respectively.
 
HOW DO THE INTERMEDIATE BOND MARKETS LOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 1997, AND WHAT
IS THE FUND'S STRATEGY FOR THE COMING YEAR?
 
We expect the U.S. economy to experience above average growth for the balance
of the year and thus the Federal Reserve will likely nudge
 
16

SHORT-INTERMEDIATE TERM FUND (CONTINUED)
 
short-term rates up by 25 basis points prior to year-end. We expect
intermediate rates to continue to remain in a relatively narrow range with 5-
year notes trading between 6.0% and 6.50%. Within this environment, the Fund's
duration will remain neutral to the benchmark at approximately 3.25. Corporate
bonds will continue to be a core holding for yield enhancement, as credit
quality is expected to remain stable.

1997?
 
The Fund posted a 3.86% total return for the period.
 
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO'S ALLOCATION CHANGE DURING THE PERIOD IN RESPONSE TO THE
DIFFERENT MARKET CONDITIONS?
 
The U.S. Treasury Allocation Fund has shifted between the three asset classes
in which the Fund invests on three separate occasions in response to yield
curve fluctuations. The first of these shifts occurred in March when the
allocation moved from 0/80/20 (bonds/notes/cash) to 0/100/0. This move was in
response to a relative increase in note yields as compared to cash yields.
Since the immediately prior allocation shift in December 1996, note yields had
risen substantially when compared to the relative rise in bond and cash yields.
In general, yields increased across all maturity classes in the first quarter,
in response to a strengthening U.S. economy. On March 25th the Federal Reserve
Board raised short-term interest rates, the first such move in more than two
years. The second shift occurred in June when our model suggested a shift in
allocation back to a 0/80/20 mix. While bond and note yields declined
considerably during this period, cash yields were down only 14 basis points,
making them a more attractive yielding maturity class. In general, bond yields
fell during the second quarter due to a slow down in the economy along with
stable inflation. The third shift occurred early in the third quarter, when our
model suggested a further shift away from notes and into cash and the
allocation changed to 0/60/40. While both bond and note yields registered a
further decrease, cash yields actually increased. There have been no changes in
the asset mix since July.

    INVESTMENT ADVISER DISCUSSION
 
U.S. TREASURY ALLOCATION FUND (CONTINUED)
 
WITH THE CURRENT UNCERTAINTY IN THE MARKETPLACE, HOW WILL THE FUND POSITION
ITSELF DURING THE REST OF 1997?
 
The U.S. Treasury Allocation Fund allows a purely quantitative strategy that is
managed in a systematic, disciplined fashion. The asset allocation process does
not predict when markets will become fairly valued, rather, it is designed to
recognize when securities are overvalued or undervalued relative to one
another. The strategy is an inherently contrarian process and as such, it
frequently recommends positions that are in advance of general market trends.
By focusing on quantitative inputs rather than economic indicators released
daily or monthly, the Fund bases its allocation decisions on long-term as
opposed to very short-term factors.

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, Money Market and Short-
Intermediate Term Funds, invests all of its assets in a separate series (each a
"Master Portfolio") of Master Investment Portfolio. Each of the Growth Stock
and Short-Intermediate Term Funds invests all of its assets in a separate
series (also a "Master Portfolio") of Managed Series Investment Trust. Each
Master Portfolio has the same investment objective as the Fund bearing the
corresponding name. The value of each Fund's investment in its corresponding
Master Portfolio reflects that Fund's interest in the net assets of that Master
Portfolio (99.99%, 57.84%, 99.99%, 38.58%, 52.95%, 43.93%, 38.29%, 29.31%,
94.99%, 99.99% and 99.99% for the Asset Allocation, Bond Index, Growth Stock,
LifePath 2000, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030, LifePath 2040, S&P
500 Stock, Short-Intermediate Term and U.S. Treasury Allocation Funds,
respectively, as of August 31, 1997). The Money Market Fund does not invest in
a corresponding Master Portfolio. Investments of each Master Portfolio are
valued at the last reported sale price on the primary securities exchange or
national
 
                                                                              47

securities market on which such securities are traded. Securities not listed on
an exchange or national securities market, or securities in which there was no
last reported sales price, 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. 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 market quotations are not
readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in
accordance with policies approved by the Master Portfolios' Board of Trustees.
 
  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.
 
  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
 
  Security transactions are accounted for by each Master Portfolio on the date
the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Revenue is recognized by
each Master Portfolio 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, as amended (the "Code"). All net investment
income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Master
Portfolio are allocated as required by the Code.
 
  The performance of each Fund, with the exception of the Money Market Fund, is
directly affected by the performance of its corresponding Master Portfolio. The
financial statements of each Master Portfolio, including the Portfolio of
Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the corresponding Fund's financial statements.
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
  Dividends to shareholders from net investment income of the Asset Allocation,
Bond Index, Short-Intermediate Term and U.S. Treasury Allocation Funds are
declared and distributed monthly. Dividends to

shareholders from net investment income of the Growth Stock, LifePath 2000,
LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030, LifePath 2040 and S&P 500 Stock
Funds are declared and distributed quarterly. Dividends to shareholders from
net investment income of the Money Market Fund are declared daily and
distributed monthly. Distributions to shareholders from any net realized
capital gains are declared and distributed annually, generally in December.
 
  Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting
for income and realized gains (losses) for financial statement and federal
income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may
differ from the year in which the income and realized gains (losses) were
recorded by the Fund.
 
  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
  Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It
is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated 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 at December 31, 1996. The following Funds had
net capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 1996:

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Master Investment Portfolio ("MIP") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management
investment company. MIP was organized on October 20, 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. MIP currently issues, the
following separate portfolios (the "Master Portfolios"), the Asset Allocation,
Bond Index, LifePath 2000, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030,
LifePath 2040, S&P 500 Index and U.S. Treasury Allocation Master Portfolios.
 
  The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by
MIP 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.
 
  SECURITY VALUATION
 
  The equity securities of each Master Portfolio are valued at the last
reported 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 was no
last reported sales price, 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. 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 market quotations are not
readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in
accordance with policies approved by MIP's Board of Trustees.
 
  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
 
  Security 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

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
securities delivered. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized as required by
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
 
  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
  Each Master Portfolio intends to qualify as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. Each Master Portfolio 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 Portfolio will be taxed on its
allocable share of the partnership's income and capital gains for purposes of
determining its federal income tax liability. The determination of such share
will be made in accordance with the applicable sections of the Code.
 
  It is intended that each Master Portfolio's assets, income and allocations
will be managed in such a way that a regulated investment company investing in
a Master Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of
the Code, assuming that the investment company invested all of its assets in
the corresponding Master Portfolio.
 
  FUTURES CONTRACTS
 
  The Asset Allocation, LifePath 2000, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath
2030, LifePath 2040 and S&P 500 Index Master Portfolios 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 a futures contract, the
Asset Allocation, LifePath 2000, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030,
LifePath 2040 and S&P 500 Index Master Portfolios are 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 Portfolios agree to receive 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 Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses. When the
contract is closed, the Master Portfolios record a 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
 
                                                                             207

MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
Exchange Commission, the Master Portfolios are required to segregate cash, U.S.
Government obligations or high quality, liquid debt instruments in connection
with futures transactions in an amount generally equal to the entire futures
contract amount. 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 contracts may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
securities. As of August 31, 1997, the following Master Portfolios had open
futures contracts outstanding:

</TABLE>
 
  The S&P 500 Index Master Portfolios have pledged to brokers U.S. Treasury
Bills for initial margin requirements with a par value of $346,725.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
  Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell
such securities at a specified price and time ("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 Portfolio's Portfolio of Investments. The adviser to the Master
Portfolios may pool each Master Portfolio's cash and invest in repurchase
agreements entered into by the other Master Portfolios. Each Master Portfolio's
prospectus requires that the cash investments be fully collateralized based on
values that are marked to market daily. The collateral is generally 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 entered into on August 31, 1997 by the Master Portfolios
are collateralized by U.S. Government Securities.

2. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
  Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Contract with each Master Portfolio,
Barclays Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA") provides investment guidance and policy
direction in connection with the management of each Master Portfolio's assets.
BGFA is entitled to receive 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 Portfolios, respectively, as compensation for advisory
services. BGFA is entitled to receive 0.55% of the average daily net assets of
each of the LifePath Master Portfolios as compensation for its advisory
services. BGFA is an indirect subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC.
 
  Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT") serves as the custodian to each Master
Portfolio. IBT will not be entitled to receive fees for its custodial services
so long as it is entitled to receive a separate fee from BGI for its services
as Sub-Administrator of the MasterWorks Funds.
 
  Certain officers and directors of MIP are also officers of Stephens. As of
August 31, 1997, these officers of Stephens collectively owned less than 1% of
the Master Portfolios' outstanding beneficial interest.
 
  ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
 
  Stephens, the co-administrator, sponsor and placement agent for the Master
Portfolios, has paid all expenses in connection with the Master Portfolios'
organization and initial registration.
 
3. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
  Purchases and sales of investments, exclusive of short-term securities, for
each Master Portfolio for the six months ended August 31, 1997 are as follows:

MANAGED SERIES INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Managed Series Investment Trust ("MSIT") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
MSIT was organized as a Delaware business trust pursuant to an Agreement and
Declaration of Trust dated October 26, 1993. MSIT currently offers the
following separate portfolios (the "Master Portfolios"): the Growth Stock and
Short-Intermediate Term Master Portfolios.
 
  These Master Portfolios 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 MSIT 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.
 
  SECURITY VALUATION
 
  The equity securities of each Master Portfolio are valued at the last
reported 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 was no
last reported sales price, 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. 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 market quotations are not
readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in
accordance with policies approved by MSIT's Board of Trustees.
 
  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
 
  Security 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
 
212

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
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 of 1986, as amended (the "Code"').
 
  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
  Each Master Portfolio intends to qualify as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. Each Master Portfolio 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 Portfolio will be taxable on its
allocable share of the partnership's income and capital gains for purposes of
determining its federal income tax liability. The determination of such share
will be made in accordance with the applicable sections of the Code.
 
  It is intended that each Master Portfolio's assets, income and allocations
will be managed in such a way that a regulated investment company investing in
a Master Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of
the Code, assuming that the investment company invested all of its assets in
the corresponding Master Portfolio.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
  Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell
such securities at a specified price and time ("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 Portfolio's Portfolio of Investments. The adviser to the Master
Portfolios may pool each Master Portfolio's cash and invest in repurchase
agreements entered into by the other Master Portfolios. Each Master Portfolio's
prospectus requires that the cash investments be fully collateralized based on
values that are marked to market daily. The collateral is generally 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 entered into on August 31, 1997 by the Master Portfolios
are collateralized by U.S. Government Securities.
 
  ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
 
  Stephens, the co-administrator, sponsor and placement agent for the Master
Portfolios, has paid all expenses in connection with the Master Portfolios'
organization and initial registration.
 
 
                                                                             213

2. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
  Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Contract with each Master Portfolio,
Barclays Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA") provides investment guidance and policy
direction in connection with the management of each Master Portfolio's assets.
BGFA is entitled to receive 0.60% and 0.45% of the average daily net assets of
the Growth Stock and Short-Intermediate Term Master Portfolios, respectively,
as compensation for advisory services. BGFA is an indirect subsidiary of
Barclays Bank PLC.
 
  Wells Fargo Bank ("WFB") serves as sub-adviser to each Master Portfolio. As
sub-adviser, WFB is responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of each
Master Portfolio. 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 Portfolios, respectively, as compensation for its sub-
advisory services.
 
  Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT") serves as the custodian to each Master
Portfolio. IBT will not be entitled to receive fees for its custodial services
so long as it is entitled to receive a separate fee from BGI for its services
as Sub-Administrator of the MasterWorks Funds.
 
  Certain fees have been waived by BGI for the Growth Stock Master Portfolio
for the six months ended August 31, 1997. Waived fees continue at the
discretion of BGI.
