LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

                                                                    (UNAUDITED)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

     During the six-month period ended March 31, 1997, the Marquis Family of
Funds performed quite well, despite challenges in certain sectors of the
financial markets during the first quarter of 1997.

     Through a combination of strong portfolio performance and increasing
shareholder acceptance, our collective assets under management grew by 13.5%
during the period, from roughly $1.5 billion on September 30, 1996 to over $1.7
billion on March 31, 1997.

     But perhaps the most exciting development of the period was the successful
introduction of three new members of the Marquis Family of Funds. They are:

[BULLET] THE MARQUIS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND: This Fund seeks long-term
         capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of
         companies located outside the United States.

[BULLET] THE MARQUIS SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND: This Fund seeks long-term capital
         appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies
         with market capitalizations of less than $100 million. The Small Cap
         Equity Fund offers investors the opportunity to gain exposure to a
         segment of the stock market that has historically provided exceptional
         opportunities for long-term growth.

[BULLET] THE MARQUIS STRATEGIC INCOME BOND FUND: This Fund seeks relatively
         high current income by investing primarily in mortgage-backed and
         corporate bonds. Managed exclusively by the fixed income specialists
         of First NBC Trust Group, the Strategic Income Bond Fund is designed
         to help investors seek higher levels of income without compromising on
         asset quality.

     These new funds fill important niches within the Marquis Funds family. With
them, we believe our shareholders have the full range of tools they need to
pursue virtually any short-term or long-term financial goal.

     Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic about the future of the economy
and the financial markets. The continued growth of the domestic and
international economies should further strengthen the fundamentals behind equity
and fixed income securities.

     Whatever the market conditions, we will continue to apply our principles of
pursuing high quality investments, high standards of performance, and a highly
personal approach to serving each investor's needs. We thank you for your
confidence in the Marquis Funds.

                                                 Sincerely,

                                                 /S/Signature

                                                 Clifton J. Saik
                                                 Executive Vice President

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
- ----------------

The Marquis Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust under a Declaration of Trust dated June 29,1993. The Trust is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, asamended, as an open-end management
company with eleven series funds:Institutional Money Market Fund, Treasury
Securities Money Market Fund, Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "Money Market
Funds"), Government Securities Fund, Strategic Income Bond Fund, Louisiana
Tax-Free Income Fund, Balanced Fund (formerly the "Growth and Income Fund"),
Value Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, and International
Equity Fund (the "Non-Dollar Funds"). Each Fund's prospectus provides a
description of the Fund's investment objectives, policies and strategies. The
assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to
the Fund in which shares are held. The Trust is registered to offer the
following classes of shares: Trust, Retail, and the Cash Sweep Class in the
Treasury Securities Money Market Fund, and Class A and Class B in the Non-Dollar
Funds.

The Small Cap Equity Fund and the International Equity Fund are currently
"feeder" funds in separate Corporate Master-Feeder(TM) structures. That is, the
Small Cap Equity Fund and International Equity Fund each currently invest in
another open-end management investment company with the same investment
objectives and hold as their only investment securities, shares of a single
"master" fund, in this case, the SEI Institutional Managed Trust Small Cap
Growth Portfolio and the SEI International Trust International Equity Portfolio,
respectively. However, in certain instances the Funds are permitted to invest in
securities other than a single open-end management investment company.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------------------------------------

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds.

SECURITIES VALUATION -- Investments in equity securities that are traded on a
national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market system)
are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such equity
securities on each business day; other equity securities traded in the
over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was
reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations
exceeding sixty days to maturity for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations
with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their
amortized cost. Under this valuation method, purchase discounts and premiums are
accreted and amortized ratably to maturity and are included in interest income.
Restricted and illiquid securities for which quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith as
approved by the Board of Trustees.

The investments of the Small Cap Equity and International Equity Funds, (the
"Feeder" funds), in the SEI Institutional Managed Trust Small Cap

                                                     [Graphic--Marquis "M" Logo]
                                                                  MARCH 31, 1997
                                                                    
                                                                     (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equity Fund and the SEI International Trust International Equity Fund (the
"Master Funds"), respectively, are valued at the price of each Master Fund
determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m.).

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes by complying with
the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
to distribute all of its taxable income and net capital gains. Accordingly, no
provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial
statements.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted
for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income
is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the
accrual basis. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales
of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold adjusted for
the accretion and amortization of purchase discounts and premiums during the
respective holding period. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities held by
the Non-Dollar Funds are accreted and amortized to maturity using the scientific
interest method, which approximates the effective interest method.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements
mature. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of
the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event
of default of the counterparty. The Funds also invest in tri-party repurchase
agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements
are maintained in a segregated account by the broker's custodian bank until
maturity of the repurchase agreement. If the counterparty defaults and the value
of the collateral declines, or if the counterparty enters an insolvency
proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or
limited.

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of each Fund is
calculated each business day. In general, it is computed by dividing the assets
of each Fund, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the
Fund.

EXPENSES -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged
directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses are prorated to the Funds on the
basis of relative net assets. Class specific expenses are borne by that class.
Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the
respective classes on the basis of relative daily net assets.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- The preparation
of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

OTHER -- Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid
quarterly for the Balanced Fund, Value Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund and Small
Cap Equity Fund. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and
paid monthly for the Institutional Money Market Fund, Treasury Securities Money
Market Fund, and Tax Exempt Money Market Fund. Distributions from net investment
income are declared and paid monthly for the Government Securities Fund,
Strategic Income Bond Fund and Louisiana Tax-Free Income Fund. The International
Equity Fund's distributions from net investment income are declared and paid in
accordance with the SEI International Equity Fund. Any net realized capital
gains are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATIVE,
   AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------

First National Bank of Commerce in New Orleans (the "Adviser") serves as
investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement
(the "Advisory Agreement") with the Trust. For its services, the Adviser is
entitled to a fee, that is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate
based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows: Institutional
Money Market Fund -- .15%, Treasury Securities Money Market Fund -- .30%, Tax
Exempt Money Market Fund -- .45%, Government Securities Fund -- .55%, Strategic
Income Bond Fund -- .74%, Louisiana Tax-Free Income Fund -- .35%, Balanced Fund
- -- .74%, Value Equity Fund -- .74%, Growth Equity Fund -- .74%, Small Cap Equity
Fund -- .40%, and International Equity Fund -- .40%. The Adviser has voluntarily
agreed to waive a portion of its fee so that expenses of each Fund will not
exceed certain annual expense limitations. The Adviser reserves the right to
terminate its waiver at any time in its sole discretion.

Weiss, Peck & Greer, L.L.C. serves as the investment sub-adviser for the Tax
Exempt Money Market Fund pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with the Adviser.
The sub-advisory fees are paid by the Adviser.

The Trust and SEI Fund Resources (the "Administrator") have entered into an
Administration Agreement. SEI Financial Management Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SEI Corporation, is the owner of all beneficial interest in the
Administrator. Under terms of the Administration Agreement, the Administrator is
entitled to a fee calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of .10% of
the average daily net assets of the Institutional Money Market Fund and .15% of
the average daily net assets of the Treasury Securities Money Market Fund, Tax
Exempt Money Market Fund, Government Securities Fund, Strategic Income Bond
Fund, Louisiana Tax-Free Income Fund, Balanced Fund, Value Equity Fund, Growth
Equity Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, and International Equity Fund. The
Administrator has voluntarily agreed to

                                                                  MARCH 31, 1997

waive a portion of its fee so that expenses of each Fund will not exceed certain
annual expense limitations. The Administrator reserves the right to terminate
its waiver at any time in its sole discretion.

The Trust and SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor") have entered
into a Distribution Agreement. As provided in certain Distribution Plans adopted
under the Distribution Agreement, the Trust will pay a fee at an annual rate of
 .25% of the average daily net assets of the Retail class of Treasury Securities
Money Market Fund and .75% of the Class B shares of the Non-Dollar Funds to the
Distributor as compensation for its services. The Distributor has agreed to
waive a portion of its fee from the Treasury Securities Money Market Fund in
order to maintain a competitive expense ratio. The Distributor reserves the
right to terminate its waiver at any time in its sole discretion.

In addition to the fees paid at the feeder level for the Small Cap Equity and
International Equity Funds, each Feeder Fund's shareholders will bear indirectly
their prorata portion of the advisory, administrative, distribution and other
expenses of the respective Master Funds in which they invest.

The Class A shares of the Non-Dollar Funds are subject to a maximum sales load
of 3.50%.

There is a contingent deferred sales charge on the Class B shares of the
Non-Dollar Funds which varies depending on the number of years from time of
payment for the purchase of shares until the time of redemption of such shares
(the "holding period"). Solely for the purpose of determining the number of
years from the time of any payment for the purchase of shares, all payments
during the month are aggregated and deemed to have been made on the first day of
the month.

4. ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
- --------------------------------------------------------

Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Funds and are being amortized
over sixty months commencing with operations. In the event any of the initial
shares of the Funds are redeemed by any holder thereof during the period that
the Funds are amortizing their organizational costs, the redemption proceeds
payable to the holder thereof will be reduced by the unamortized organizational
costs in the same ratio as the number of initial shares being redeemed bears to
the number of initial shares outstanding at the time of redemption. These costs
include legal fees of approximately $54,278 for organizational work performed by
a law firm of which an officer and a trustee of the Trust are partners. Certain
officers and trustees of the Trust who are officers of the Administrator and the
Distributor received no compensation from the Trust.

6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
- -------------------------------

The Institutional Money Market Fund and the Treasury Securities Money Market
Fund invest primarily in a portfolio of money market instruments maturing in one
year or less whose ratings are within the highest ratings category assigned by a
nationally recognized statistical rating agency or, if not rated, are believed
to be of comparable quality.

The Tax Exempt Money Market Fund invests in debt instruments of municipal
issuers. The issuers' ability to meet their obligations may be affected by
economic developments in a specific state or region.

The Tax Exempt Money Market Fund invests in securities that include revenue
bonds, tax and revenue anticipation notes, and general obligation bonds. At
March 31, 1997, the percentages of portfolio investments by each revenue source
were as follows:

TAX EXEMPT
                                        MONEY MARKET FUND

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

The Government Securities, Strategic Income Bond and Balanced Funds invest in
debt instruments.

The Louisiana Tax-Free Income Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely
affecting issuers of Louisiana municipal securities than a comparable municipal
bond fund that does not concentrate its investments in Louisiana municipal
securities.

The following table presents a summary of holdings in the Government Securities,
Strategic Income Bond and Louisiana Tax-Free Income Funds as of March 31, 1997.
