Dear Fellow Shareholder:

The Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust continues to experience substantial growth
in aggregate net assets, having reached the $1 billion dollar plateau in July
1995 and totaling $1.17 billion as of October 31, 1995. With a total of 12 funds
now available, the Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust offers a broad array of
investment choices to our clients in both the domestic and international areas.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE
================================================================================
Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust -- October 31, 1995
 
 
Municipal Bond Fund

     Since the Fund's inception in December 1991, we have sought to provide
shareholders with a high level of current tax exempt income without investing
exclusively in long term bonds in order to obtain that high level of income. We
have focused on purchasing issues with intermediate maturities and early
retirement features, such as sinking funds and pre-payment bond calls.

     The rapid decline in interest rates since last fall has caused bond prices
to rise sharply during the last twelve months. Positive total returns were
experienced by the Fund as the increase in principal value augmented the income
received. For the year ended October 31, 1995, the Morgan Grenfell Municipal
Bond Fund provided a total rate of return of 10.90%. For comparison, the Lehman
Brothers seven year General Obligations Bond Index posted a return of 12.69%
over the same period.

     Bonds with sinking fund retirements and mortgage prepayment calls continue
to offer attractive opportunities.

Fixed Income Fund

     Since the Fund's inception in September 1992, we have sought to provide
shareholders with a high level of current income consistent with reasonable
safety of principal. U.S. Treasury, corporate, mortgage backed, taxable
municipal and tax exempt municipal bonds are all analyzed for possible inclusion
in the portfolio. Relative value assessments are based on relating credit
worthiness and cash flow structure to price. Industry and sector weightings are
subordinated to the evaluation of individual bonds.

     For the year ended October 31, 1995, the Morgan Grenfell Fixed Income Fund
provided a total return of 14.53%. For comparison, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index posted a

                                                                               5

return of 15.66% over the same period. During this period, interest rates fell
sharply as the U.S. economy slowed following a period of rapid growth. Yields of
five-year U.S. Treasury Notes fell from 7.5% to 5.8% causing bond prices to
rise.

     The credit quality of the portfolio was strong with 59% of the portfolio
rated AAA and 69% AA or better. We exercised caution all year in the corporate
and mortgage-backed sectors, having been concerned about a lack of supply
causing the yield spreads over the U.S. Treasury bonds to be too narrow.

Short-Term
Municipal Bond Fund

     The Morgan Grenfell Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund was opened on March 6,
1995. Since that time, we have acquired a diversified portfolio of short-term
municipal bonds with a very short duration. Over the last three months, the Fund
generated a total return of 1.99%. Since inception, the Fund has generated a
total return of 4.39%. The returns have been achieved by investing in bonds
providing a high level of tax-free income, with limited price volatility due to
their short durations.

Smaller Companies Fund

     The Smaller Companies Fund had net assets of $2.6 million as of October 31,
1995. The investment objective of this Fund is to maximize capital appreciation
by investing in equity securities of small capitalization growth oriented
companies located primarily in the United States. Small companies are defined as
those companies ranked according to market capitalization in the bottom 5% to
20% range of the U.S. equity market. This encompasses approximately 1,500
companies with market values ranging from $240 million to $1.5 billion.

     Since inception on June 30, 1995 to October 31, 1995, the Fund has
appreciated 5.5%; this compares to the S&P 600 Small Cap Index which gained
7.2%. During this startup phase of the Fund we have implemented a "go slow"
approach to selecting investments which should give us advantageous entry
points. In the short term, this approach has caused the Fund to lag the
benchmark due to a higher than normal cash position.

     The Smaller Companies Fund utilizes a team approach with four portfolio
managers/analysts researching the universe for the best investment ideas. This
process allows for expertise across all economic sectors thus optimizing the
research function and enabling a system of control. Along with research and
portfolio management, the team includes a specialized small company trading
capability to maximize our execution strategy.

     The closing NAV as of October 31, 1995 was $10.55.

                                                                               7

International Equity Fund

     The International Equity Fund commenced operations on May 15, 1995 and had
total net assets of $2.7 million as of October 31, 1995.

     The Fund's investment objective is to maximize capital appreciation by
investing in equity securities of companies located in countries other than the
United States. In general, the Fund will invest in medium to large
capitalization companies; many of them will be household names.

     Since inception, the Fund has significantly outperformed its benchmark
(Morgan Stanley EAFE Index) returning 9.50% compared to the benchmark's return
of 2.45%. During this period, most major world stock markets have performed
strongly with the notable exception of Japan. This market performed poorly in
the second quarter against the background of a strong Yen and lack of government
action to stimulate the economy. As evidence emerged that action was being taken
in the third quarter, the market showed strong positive gains in local currency.
However, much of this appreciation was not translated into dollar returns as the
Yen weakened significantly. The Fund has benefited from the currency hedging
strategy during the period.

     In Continental Europe, the emphasis has been on the peripheral markets of
Finland, Norway and Sweden. These markets are benefiting from currency
devaluation and, therefore, strong earnings results from their export companies.

     In the Pacific-basin ex Japan market, returns have been disappointing.
However, the region looks attractive and is likely to benefit from the strong
U.S. equity market and low U.S. interest rates, as well as an encouraging
outlook for corporate earnings. The price/earnings multiple for the region is
well below its 5 year average.

     International equity markets have performed well so far this year. In the
short term, there are several uncertainties and risks for markets, the threat in
the failure of the U.S. budget deficit reduction program, the UK Budget and
increasing LRM tensions. However, world economies have slowed considerably
during 1995, especially in the U.S., UK and core Continental European countries.
Inflation remains at low levels and it is likely that there will be a further
easing of monetary policy in these economies. This is likely to be supportive of
equity markets as more sustainable growth is discounted further. The Fund will
continue to focus on earnings growth and diversification across the major
developing equity markets worldwide.

International Small
Cap Equity Fund

     The International Small Cap Equity Fund commenced operations on January 3,
1994 and had total net assets of $90.9 million as of October 31, 1995.

     The investment objective of this Fund is to maximize capital appreciation
by investing primarily in equity securities of small capitalization companies
located in countries other than the United States. Small capitalization
companies are defined as those issuers ranked according to market capitalization
in the bottom 20% of the companies listed on a stock exchange, and any stock
listed on a secondary market.

     International small cap equities in general continued to underperform their
larger counterparts during the period under review. This extends to nearly 18
months the period of small cap underperformance. This performance continues to
reflect poor investment sentiment rather than investment fundamentals. Small cap
stocks continue to provide superior earnings growth to their larger counterparts
and yet price/earnings valuations are at a discount to large stocks in all major
regions of the non-U.S. world. We do not believe that this situation, which is
historically unusual, will persist and remain positive regarding the outlook. It
is, however, at present difficult to predict what will change the currently
prevailing negative sentiment. Lower interest rates and a more stable U.S.
dollar have so far failed to provide the expected spur. Nonetheless, we remain
positive regarding the outlook for the Fund into 1996.

     The Fund outperformed its benchmark (Natwest Markets Euro/Pacific Small Cap
Index) -6.67% to -8.25% during the twelve month period ended October 31, 1995.
All areas of investment decision making (country allocation, stock selection,
currency management and cash/liquidity management) contributed positively. In
particular, stock selection was positive in all major regions of the non-U.S.
world, with Continental Europe and Japan in the forefront. Our currency hedging
strategy out of Yen into U.S. dollars also contributed significantly as the Yen
weakened substantially from its high in April. We have reduced the size of the
currency hedge on two occasions as the U.S. dollar has strengthened, but still
maintain a hedge on 30% of the Fund's Yen assets.

                                                                               9

European Small Cap Equity Fund

     The European Small Cap Equity Fund commenced operations on November 1, 1994
and had total net assets of $9.3 million as of October 31, 1995.

     The objective of the Fund is to maximize capital appreciation by investing
primarily in equity securities of small capitalization companies located on the
continent of Europe. Small capitalization companies are defined as those
issuers, ranked according to market capitalization in the bottom 20% of the
companies listed on a stock exchange, or any stock listed on a secondary market.

     From its inception, the Fund has outperformed its benchmark (the Natwest
Markets European Small Cap Index) 15.66% to 10.16%. The performance of the
Continental European portfolio was driven largely by the strong share price
performance of small cap growth stocks in the last quarter, which feature
heavily in the Fund, as investors increasingly sought out companies that could
grow due to trends unrelated to the economy in general.

     There are strong reasons to be optimistic about the sustainability and
extent of the European economic upturn. Inflationary risks have reduced since
the first half of the year with commodity prices falling back and with the
corporate sector continuing to match pay rises with restructuring. The outlook
for interest rates has thus improved suggesting an extended business cycle. It
is however likely that the growth rates achieved by "fiscal looseners" (Germany,
the Netherlands and the UK) will increasingly diverge from those achieved by the
"fiscal tighteners" (France, Italy, Spain and Sweden) where budgetary problems
remain persistent. In these countries the outlook for consumer expenditure
remains bleak. Overall, however, we believe that growth will remain positive in
all countries aggregating at just below 3% in both 1996 and 1997.

     Given this positive economic background, we believe that the risk of
investing in the small company sector remains low. European small company
valuations are still very attractive, particularly in Continental Europe where
they are trading at a price/earnings discount of some 15-20%. The market remains
highly inefficient with

10
<PAGE>
 
================================================================================
 
 
plenty of opportunities to purchase high growth companies on low price/
earnings. It remains our strategy to invest almost wholly in growth companies
where the growth rate, in our view, is not fully reflected in the share price.

     The total return for the period November 1, 1994 to October 31, 1995 was
15.66%, with a closing NAV of $11.55.

Emerging Markets
Equity Fund

     The Emerging Markets Equity Fund commenced operations on February 2, 1994
and had net assets of $93.3 million as of October 31, 1995.

     The investment objective of this Fund is to maximize capital appreciation
by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers located in countries
which have yet to reach the level of maturity associated with developed markets.

     The twelve month period ended October 31, 1995 saw a volatile market
period, but one in which the overall returns were minimal. The Fund's
performance was -21.00% over the period, while the performance of the Fund's
benchmark (the Barings Emerging Markets Index) was -21.97%.

     Low sentiment and volume were characteristics of the period, with movements
in individual country indices tending to be sharp. In Latin America the
Brazilian economy remained subject to very tight monetary restrictions, while in
Mexico the delay in economic recovery led to renewed weakness in the Peso. South
East Asia saw concerns of overheating in Thailand and Malaysia but continues to
exhibit very strong economic growth.

     The case for diversification of pension fund assets into emerging markets
remains based around the superior growth rates expected from those countries.
The focus of the Mexican government has remained on ensuring low inflation in
the medium term through economic deregulation and free trade. The continuity of
economic policy in Mexico, and the recent election success of similar policies
in Brazil, Peru and Argentina gives confidence that recovery from the current
low levels of sentiment is soundly based.

     The closing NAV of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund on October 31, 1995 
was $8.11.

                                                                              11

Global Fixed Income Fund

     The Global Fixed Income Fund commenced operations on January 3, 1994 and
had total net assets of $139.3 million as of October 31, 1995. The investment
objective of this Fund is to maximize total return, emphasizing current income
while providing opportunities for capital growth consistent with reasonable
risk. The Fund invests primarily in high grade debt obligations of the U.S. and
foreign governments and their agencies, obligations of international and
supranational entities, and high grade fixed income obligations of U.S. and
foreign corporate issuers. The Fund uses currency hedging techniques as a means
of protecting the U.S. dollar value of foreign assets. The Fund fell 0.60% in
the third quarter, but has returned 13.88% for the year ended October 31, 1995.

     The most important development in the world financial markets during the
last twelve months has been the stabilization and the reappreciation of the U.S.
dollar. By the end of October, the dollar had retraced all of its first quarter
decline against the Japanese Yen. Coordinated G3 intervention in support of the
dollar proved effective and the bullish environment for the dollar proved
supportive for the high yielding European currencies against the Deutschemark.
European bond markets outperformed during the third quarter, particularly the
high yielding markets of Italy, Sweden and Spain, which benefited from currency
strength and a relaxation of political tensions during the summer months.
Looking forward, we believe the core Europe markets stand to register the
strongest returns, due to the modest growth and subdued inflation outlook that
will continue into 1996. The Fund is therefore overweight in the German, French
and Danish markets. The U.S. bond market rally slowed in the third quarter as
increasing consumer confidence and industrial production made recession less
likely and the market consequently scaled back its rate reduction expectations.
We expect U.S. bond yields to remain at around current levels for the rest of
the year and we retain a broadly neutral U.S. bond market position. The Japanese
bond market, despite strong domestic and governmental support, remains
vulnerable to a sell off from current low yields.

     The total return for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1995 is
13.88% compared with 15.20% for the Fund's benchmark (the Salomon World
Government Bond Index, unhedged), with a closing NAV per share of $10.99.

International
Fixed Income Fund

     The International Fixed Income Fund commenced operations on March 15, 1994
and had total net assets of $27.6 million as of October 31, 1995.

     The Fund's objective is identical to that of the Global Fixed Income Fund
with the exception being that the International Fixed Income Fund does not
invest in U.S. dollar denominated bonds as a means of achieving its objective.
The Fund uses currency hedging techniques as a means of protecting the U.S.
dollar value of foreign assets.

     The Fund returned 14.66% for the year ended October 31, 1995 compared to
16.36% for the Fund's benchmark (the Salomon World Government Bond Index, non-
U.S., Hedged). We do not believe the recent outperformance of the high yielding
European markets will continue as political and budgetary uncertainties reassert
themselves. Core European bond markets by contrast, should benefit from subdued
inflation, deficit reduction and stable politics. We believe France will make
the spending cuts necessary to meet the Maastricht criteria, and therefore the
Fund will retain its overweight position in core markets relative to high
yielding markets in Europe.

     The Fund's underweight position in Japan reflects our belief that Japanese
bond yields will rise as the Yen's depreciation makes domestic equities and
overseas asset classes more attractive to Japanese investors.

     The total return for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1995 is
14.66%, with a closing NAV per share of $11.34.

                                                                              13

Emerging Markets
Debt Fund

     The Emerging Markets Debt Fund commenced operations on August 4, 1994 and
had total net assets of $84 million as of October 31, 1995.

     Emerging markets recovered their poise in the second quarter of 1995. The
U.S. administration's backing for Mexico and the Mexican stabilization plan
returned confidence to the market and positive sentiment was reinforced by
improving fundamentals in most emerging market countries.

     The Brazilian economy continues to grow at a healthy rate despite a
slowdown in the pace of growth as a result of the Mexican crisis. The reform
process continues and should enable some improvement in the fiscal position in
1996. Brazil remains the Fund's largest weighting. Political turmoil in
Argentina has damaged the fragile financial and economic environment.
Argentinean Brady bonds have been extremely volatile over the past twelve months
and have underperformed. Polish assets have performed extremely well as
investors have bought Brady bonds in anticipation of an investment grade rating.

     Over the next six months we expect to see emerging markets sovereign
spreads contract on the back of a continuation of the process of reform in Latin
America and Eastern Europe and active debt management on the part of key
sovereigns. However, we have recently reduced our weighting to Latin America as
we believe that concerns over the prospect for growth in Mexico and Argentina in
1996 will cause spreads to widen, presenting us with better investment
opportunities.

     The total return for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1995 was
4.85% against 8.01% for the Fund's benchmark (the J.P. Morgan Emerging Market
Bond Index), with a closing NAV per share of $10.55.

1. ORGANIZATION

Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware
business trust on September 13, 1993. The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company consisting of seventeen investment portfolios (Municipal Bond Fund,
Fixed Income Fund, Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, Short-Term Fixed Income Fund,
Large Cap Growth Fund, and Smaller Companies Fund (collectively the "Domestic
Funds"); International Equity Fund, Global Equity Fund, European Equity Fund,
Pacific Basin Equity Fund, International Small Cap Equity Fund, European Small
Cap Equity Fund, Japanese Small Cap Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund,
Global Fixed Income Fund, International Fixed Income Fund and Emerging Markets
Debt Fund (formerly Emerging Markets Fixed Income Fund) (collectively the

referred to collectively as the "Funds". At October 31, 1995, the Large Cap
Growth Fund, Global Equity Fund, European Equity Fund, Pacific Basin Equity Fund
and Japanese Small Cap Equity Fund had not yet commenced operations.

     On December 28, 1994, pursuant to plans of reorganization approved by the
Municipal Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Fund shareholders on December 5, 1994,
all of the assets of the Morgan Grenfell Municipal Bond Fund and the Morgan
Grenfell Fixed Income Fund (formerly part of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund)
were transferred to the Municipal Bond Fund and Fixed Income Fund (the
"Portfolios"), newly formed portfolios of the Trust, in exchange for shares of
the Portfolios and assumption of stated liabilities of the two funds. The

     Security Valuation--Securities listed on a securities exchange for which
market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
price on the principal exchange on which they are traded on the valuation date
or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent
quoted bid price. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the most recent quoted bid price. Certain debt and fixed
income investments owned by the Funds are valued at prices supplied by
independent pricing agents selected by Morgan Grenfell Capital Management, Inc.
and Morgan Grenfell Investment Services Limited (the "Advisors"), which prices
reflect broker-dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing
techniques. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost which
approximates market value. Other securities for which market value is not
readily available or securities whose market value does not, in the opinion of
the applicable Advisor, reflect fair value are valued at fair value using
methods determined in good faith by the valuation committee of the Board of
Trustees.

     Income Taxes--It is the intention of each Fund to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company and to distribute all of its taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is considered necessary.

     The International Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in
which they invest with respect to their investments in issuers existing or
operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on either income
earned or repatriated. The International Funds accrue such taxes when the
related income is earned.

     Net Asset Value Per Share--The net asset value per share is calculated on a
daily basis by dividing the assets of each Fund, less its liabilities, by the
number of outstanding shares of the Fund.

     Repurchase Agreements--Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the custodian banks until maturity of the repurchase
agreements. Provisions of the repurchase agree-

                                                                              59

================================================================================
Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust -- October 31, 1995


ments and procedures adopted by the Trust require that the market value of the
collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of
default by the counterparty.

     The Funds may 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. Provisions of the agreements require that the market value
of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the
event of default.

     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.

     Foreign Currency Translation--The books and records of the International
Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated
into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (I) market value of investment
securities, other assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and
(II) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the
relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions.

     The International Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on
investments in securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates
from that which is due to changes in market prices of such securities. The
International Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency
rates when determining the gain or loss upon sale or maturity of foreign
currency denominated debt obligations pursuant to the Federal income tax
regulations. Such amounts are categorized as foreign currency gain or loss for
both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

     The International Funds report gains and losses on foreign currency related
transactions as realized and unrealized gains and losses for financial reporting
purposes, whereas such gains and losses, to the extent realized, are treated as
ordinary income or loss for Federal income tax purposes.

     Forward Foreign Currency Contracts--The International Funds enter into
forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against portfolio positions as well
as for non-hedging purposes. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts
are not recorded as the Funds do not intend to hold the contracts to maturity.
All commitments are "marked-to-market" daily at the applicable foreign exchange
rate and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The
Funds realize gains or losses at the time forward contracts are extinguished,
except that gains or losses on certain open contracts are required to be
recognized for U.S. Federal income tax purposes at the close of the Fund's
taxable year and are generally treated as ordinary income for such purposes.

     Foreign Currency Options--The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of an
option is included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments as an investment and
subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option.
For an option held by a Fund on the stipulated expiration date, the Fund
realizes a loss. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, it realizes
a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the sale are greater or
less than the cost of the purchased option. If the Fund exercises a purchased
put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying
investment and proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium
originally paid. If the Fund exercises a purchased call option, the cost of the
underlying investment which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased
by the premium originally paid. Certain foreign currency options may be required
to be marked to market for Federal income tax purposes at the close of a Fund's
taxable year, giving rise to a gain or loss that may, depending upon whether
certain elections are made, be capital or ordinary in character.

     Distributions--Distributions from net investment income and net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under generally
accepted accounting principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary
or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are
charged or credited to paid in capital in the period that the difference arises.

     Accordingly, the following permanent differences primarily attributable to
realized foreign exchange gains and losses, have been reclassified from
accumulated net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions to
undistributed net investment income:

</TABLE>

These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per
share.

     Expenses--Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are
charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are
prorated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets. Morgan Grenfell
Capital Management, Inc. absorbed all expenses of organizing the Trust.

     All organizational costs incurred with the start of the Municipal Bond Fund
and the Fixed Income Fund are being amortized on a straight line basis over a
period of sixty months.

     Other--Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is
purchased or sold (trade date). Costs used in determining net realized capital
gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific
securities sold adjusted for the accretion and amortization of original issue
discounts and purchase premiums during the respective holding period. Original
issue discounts and purchase premiums on securities held by the Funds are
accreted and amortized ratably to maturity using the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
recognized using the accrual method.

3. ADMINISTRATION, INVESTMENT ADVISORY, AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

The Trust has entered into an administration agreement with SEI Financial
Management Corporation (the "Administrator"), pursuant to which the
Administrator receives an annual fee based on the aggregate average daily net
assets of all the Funds as follows: 0.15% up to $300,000,000; 0.12% from
$300,000,000 up to $500,000,000; 0.10% from $500,000,000 up to $1,000,000,000;
and 0.08% in excess of $1,000,000,000. Each Fund pays the Administrator a
minimum annual fee that equals (after a one-year phase in period) the following:
$50,000 for the Municipal Bond Fund, Fixed Income Fund, Short-Term Municipal
Bond Fund, Short-Term Fixed Income Fund and Smaller Companies Fund; $75,000 for
the International Equity Fund, Global Fixed Income Fund and International Fixed
Income Fund; and $100,000 for the International Small Cap Equity Fund, European
Small Cap Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, and Emerging Markets Debt
Fund.

     The Administrator generally assists in all matters relating to the
administration of the Funds, including the coordination and monitoring of any
third parties furnishing services to the Funds, preparation and maintenance of
financial accounting records, and the provision of necessary office space,
equipment and personnel to perform administrative and clerical functions.

     Under advisory agreements with the Trust, Morgan Grenfell Capital
Management, Inc. serves as the Advisor for the Domestic Funds and Morgan
Grenfell Investment Services Limited serves as the Advisor for the International
Funds. For these services, the Advisors are entitled to a monthly fee at an
annual rate of each Fund's average daily net assets as follows:

Certain officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the
Administrator or Advisors.

     SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor") serves as the
distributor of shares of the Funds pursuant to a distribution agreement with the
Trust and assists in the sale of shares of the Funds. The Advisors, and not the
Trust, are responsible for payment of any expenses or fees incurred in the
marketing and distribution of shares of the Trust.

4. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

The International Funds enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
as hedges against portfolio positions as well as for non-hedging purposes. Such
contracts, which protect the value of the Fund's investment securities against a
decline in the value of the hedged currency, do not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the securities. They simply establish an exchange rate
at a future date. Also, although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of
loss due to a decline in the value of a hedged currency, at the same time they
tend to limit any potential gain that might be realized should the value of such
foreign currency increase.

The following forward foreign currency contracts were outstanding at 
October 31, 1995:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Concluded)
================================================================================
Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust -- October 31, 1995


6. LOAN PARTICIPATIONS/ASSIGNMENTS

The Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund") invests in U.S. dollar-denominated
fixed and floating rate loans ("Loans") arranged through private negotiations
between a foreign sovereign entity and one or more financial institutions
("Lenders"). The Fund invests in such Loans in the form of participations in
Loans ("Participations") or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third
parties ("Assignments"). Participations typically result in the Fund having a
contractual relationship only with the Lender, not with the sovereign borrower.
The Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees
to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the Participation and only
upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with
purchasing Participations, the Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance
by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the Loan, nor
any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund will not benefit
directly from any collateral supporting the Loan in which it has purchased the
Participation. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the
borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation. The Fund may have
difficulty disposing of Participations and Assignments because the market for
such instruments is not highly liquid.

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

The Municipal Bond Fund and Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund invest primarily in a
diversified portfolio of municipal securities, including municipal bonds and
debentures, rated Baa or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
or BBB or better by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"), or, if not rated,
determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. Although the Municipal
Bond Fund and Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund maintain diversified portfolios,
the municipal bond issuers' abilities to meet their obligations may be affected
by economic developments in a specific state or region.

     The Fixed Income Fund and Short-Term Fixed Income Fund invest primarily in
fixed income securities rated Baa or better by Moody's or BBB or better by S&P
or, if not rated, determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality.
Although the Fixed Income Fund and Short-Term Fixed Income Fund maintain
diversified portfolios, the ability of the issuers of the Fund's portfolio
securities to meet their obligations may be affected by changing business and
economic conditions.

     Each International Fund invests in securities of foreign issuers in various
countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not
typically associated with investments in the United States, as a result of,
among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic
developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of
securities markets in the respective countries. Global Fixed Income,
International Fixed Income and Emerging Markets Debt Fund invest in debt
securities, the market value of which may change in response to interest rate
changes. Also, the ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Funds
to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments
in a specific country, industry, or region.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
================================================================================


To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund,
Short-Term Fixed Income Fund, Smaller Companies Fund, International Equity Fund,
International Small Cap Equity Fund, European Small Cap Equity Fund, Emerging
Markets Equity Fund, Global Fixed Income Fund, International Fixed Income Fund,
and Emerging Markets Debt Fund series of Morgan Grenfell Investment Trust, (the
"Trust") at October 31, 1995, the results of each of their operations, the
changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the
periods indicated, and the financial position of the Municipal Bond Fund and
Fixed Income Fund series of the Trust at October 31, 1995, and the results of
each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the
financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodians and brokers and the application of
alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not
received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. The
statements of changes in net assets for the year ended October 31, 1994 and the
financial statements and financial highlights for the years ended October 31,
1994 and October 31, 1993, and the period ended October 31, 1992 of the
Municipal Bond Fund and Fixed Income Fund were audited by other independent
accountants whose reported dated December 14, 1994 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements.

business Trust on September 13, 1993. The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company consisting of seventeen investment portfolios (Municipal Bond Fund,
Fixed Income Fund, Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, Short-Term Fixed Income Fund,
Large Cap Growth Fund, Smaller Companies Fund, International Equity Fund, Global
Equity Fund, European Equity Fund, Pacific Basin Equity Fund, International
Small Cap Equity Fund, European Small Cap Equity Fund, Japanese Small Cap Equity

Fixed Income Fund and Emerging Markets Debt Fund. These financial statements
relate only to the Global Equity Fund, European Equity Fund, Pacific Basin
Equity Fund and Japanese Small Cap Equity Fund (hereafter referred to as the

of initial shares to SEI Financial Management Corporation (the "Administrator"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Corporation on December 29, 1993. Morgan
Grenfell Investment Services Limited (the "Advisor") absorbed all expenses of
organizing the Trust.

2.  ADMINISTRATION, INVESTMENT ADVISORY, AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

The Trust has entered into an administration with SEI Financial Management
Corporation (the "Administrator"), pursuant to which, upon commencement of
operations of each Fund, the Administrator will receive a monthly fee based on
the aggregate average daily net assets of all the Funds as follows: 0.15% up to
$300,000,000; 0.12% from $300,000,000 up to $500,000,000; 0.10% from
$500,000,000 up to $1,000,000,000; and 0.08% in excess of $1,000,000,000. Each
funds will pay the Administrator a minimum annual fee that equals (after a one
year phase in period) the following: $75,000 each for the Global Equity Fund,
European Equity Fund and Pacific Basin Equity Fund and $100,000 for the Japanese
Small Cap Equity Fund.

  The Administrator generally assists in all matters relating to the
administration of the Funds, including the coordination and monitoring of any
third parties furnishing services to the Funds, preparation and maintenance of
financial accounting records, and the provision of necessary office space,
equipment and personnel to perform administrative and clerical functions.

  Under an advisory agreement with the Trust, Morgan Grenfell Investment
Services Limited (the "Advisor") serves as the Advisor for the Funds. For these
services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee, upon commencement of
operations of each Fund, at an annual rate of each Fund's average daily net
assets as follows:

of shares of the Funds pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Trust and
