RWB/WPG U.S. LARGE STOCK FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 
RWB/WPG U.S.  Large Stock Fund (formerly the U.S. Large Stock Fund) (the "Fund")
is registered under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended,
as a diversified,  open-end  management  company.  The following is a summary of
significant  accounting  policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial  statements.  These policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Portfolio securities listed or admitted to trading on a
national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price, on such
exchange, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on
the day the valuation is made. Unlisted securities and listed securities for
which there are no sales reported on the valuation date are valued at the mean
between the most recent bid and asked prices. Short-term debt securities are
valued at amortized cost, which has been determined by the Fund's Board of
Trustees to represent fair value. If other securities and assets for which
market quotations are not readily available are held by the Fund, they are
valued at their fair value as determined, in good faith, by the Fund's Valuation
Committee as authorized by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded utilizing the specific identification method. Dividend
income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized
on the accrual basis.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least
annually. Distributions from net realized gains are declared and paid by
December 31 of the year in which they are earned. To the extent that net
realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, if any, it is
the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains. 

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. No federal
income tax or excise tax provision is required. The federal income tax basis of
investments approximates cost.

FUTURES: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell
a security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract,
a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or securities
equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to
the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from, or pay to the broker, an amount
of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such a receipt
or payment is known as a "variation margin" and is recorded by the Fund as an
unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a
realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract
at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund is
also required to fully collateralize futures contracts purchased. The Fund only
enters into futures contracts which are traded on exchanges.

FINANCIAL RISKS: The Fund may enter into futures contracts to protect against
adverse movements in the price of securities in the investment portfolio.
Certain risks are associated with the use of futures. The predominant risk is
that the movement in price of the instrument underlying the future may not
correlate perfectly with the movement of the price of the asset being hedged.

USE OF ESTIMATES: Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding
assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when
financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment,
financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates
could cause actual results to differ.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: The
investment advisory fee is earned by Weiss, Peck & Greer, L.L.C. ("WPG"). 


<PAGE>


RWB/WPG U.S. LARGE STOCK FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


Under the Fund's Investment Advisory agreement, the advisory fee is calculated
at the following rates: 0.26% of the Funds average daily net assets not
exceeding $500 million, 0.24% in excess of $500 million up to $1 billion, 0.22%
of assets in excess of $1 billion up to $2 billion and 0.20% in excess of $2
billion. Such fees are paid monthly. WPG has voluntarily agreed to limit the
Fund's total operating expenses to 0.42% or less (determined by average net
assets). In September of 1998, WPG was acquired by Robeco Group N.V., a Dutch
investment management firm. As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940,
the Fund's advisory agreement was renewed through a proxy statement.

Reinhardt Werba Bowen Advisory Services ("RWB") receives an asset allocation fee
up to 2% annually of assets from shareholders (not a Fund expense) participating
in their Strategic Asset Money Management program. RWB receives a fee from the
Fund for shareholder servicing functions provided, equal to 0.10% of daily
average net assets. Certain transactions and service charges may also be imposed
by institutions serving as financial intermediaries in the purchase and custody
of Fund shares held. No part of these fees is received by the Fund or the
Adviser. In August 1998 RWB was acquired by Assante Capital Management Inc. RWB
will continue to carry out shareholder servicing functions.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are "affiliated persons", as defined
in the Act, of WPG.

NOTE 3 - SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS: During the year ended December 31, 1998, sales
proceeds and cost of securities purchased (other than short-term investments and
options written), amounted to $111,745,789 and $46,552,960, respectively.
Brokerage commissions on the above transactions amounted to $147,489. Of this
amount, $52,214 was received by WPG. These amounts do not include profits earned
in connection with the execution of principal transactions, none of which were
received by WPG. 

NOTE 4 - TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST: Transactions in the
Fund's Shares of Beneficial Interest were as follows (000's omitted):

                                        YEAR ENDED

                                       ======   ====== 

NOTE 5 - The Fund has entered into an expense offset arrangement with its
custodian wherein it receives credit toward the reduction of custodian fees
whenever there are uninvested cash balances. During the year ended December 31,
1998, the Fund's custodian fees amounted to $64,626 of which $4,398 was offset
by such credits. The Fund could have invested its cash balances elsewhere if it
had not agreed to a reduction in fees under the expense offset arrangement with
the custodian.

NOTE 6 - FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS OF DIVIDENDS - (Unaudited)
The following tax information represents the designation of various tax benefits
relating to the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998:

The percentage of investment company taxable income eligible for the dividends
received deduction available for certain corporate shareholders with respect to
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 is 100%.

Long-term capital gains distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 whether taken in shares or in cash were
$29,712,590.

The above figures may differ from those cited elsewhere in the report due to
differences in the calculations of income and capital gains for Securities and
Exchange Commission (financial reporting) purposes and Internal Revenue Service
(tax) purposes. 


                                                                          Page 7

(a)  The Advisor agreed not to impose its full fee from inception through
     December 31, 1998. Had the Advisor not so agreed, the ratio of expenses and
     net investment income to average net assets would have been 0.79% and 2.61%
     for the year ended 12/31/94, 0.74% and 2.21% for the year ended 12/31/95,
     0.62% and 1.83% for the year ended 12/31/96, 0.53% and 1.44% for the year
     ended 12/31/97, and 0.53% and 1.10% for the year ended 12/31/98,
     respectively. The custody fee earnings credit had an effect of less than
     0.01% per share on the above ratios.

1998 proved to be a very challenging year for Large Cap managers who focused on
stocks with attractive relative valuations. The uncertainty of the global market
coupled with dramatic cash flows into the equity mutual funds led to the
disproportionate advance of the "safest", most liquid, ultra-large
capitalization stocks. These very large stocks had extremely high valuations,
measured both on historic and relative levels. Given the challenges that value
managers had in 1998, the RWB/WPG US Large Stock Fund had a stellar year. Sound
risk control coupled with strategic rebalancings allowed the Fund to generate a
substantial 24.51% return for the year.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
RWB/WPG U.S. Large Stock Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the schedule of investments, of the RWB/WPG U.S. Large Stock Fund as of December
31, 1998, and the related  statement of operations for the year then ended,  the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period
then ended, and the financial  highlights for each of the years in the five-year
period then ended. These financial  statements and financial  highlights are the
responsibility  of the Fund'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 confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian and the performance of
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 the
RWB/WPG  U.S.  Large  Stock Fund as of  December  31,  1998,  the results of its
operations  for the year then  ended,  the changes in its net assets for each of
the years in the two-year  period then ended,  and the financial  highlights for
each of the  years in the  five-year  period  then  ended,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.
