                             THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
  Over the past fifteen years (March 31, 1983 to March 31, 1998) the value of
an investment in your Fund increased at a compounded average annual rate of
14.2%. Over the past ten and five years, the rates were 12.2% and 12.9%, re-
spectively. Over the past twelve months, the rate was 14.4%.*
 
  As of March 31, 1998 your Fund's net assets, on an economic basis, were in-
vested as follows:

  The ten largest equity holdings were Manpower Inc. (leading U.S. based tempo-
rary employment organization with global operations); Buderus AG (German heat-
ing products company); Secom Co., Ltd. (Japanese provider of security services
and equipment); Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. (Japanese film and imaging company);
Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., Preferred Series "B', "C' and "D' (gold
and silver-related securities); Dole Food Company, Inc. (U.S. producer and
worldwide marketer of fruit and vegetables); Legrand ADP (French low-voltage
electrical fittings manufacturer); Zero Corporation (U.S. manufacturer of pro-
tective enclosures for electronics); Bank for International Settlements, U.S.
and French Tranches (the central bank's central bank, with some gold assets);
and CDL Hotels International Limited (Hong Kong listed hotel chain operating
worldwide).
 
  Between 1979 and 1994, in generally rising financial markets, your Fund de-
livered high returns and low risk.
 
  However, in the past three years, and particularly in 1997, stock markets in
the U.S. and in Europe accelerated on the upside, with big stocks doing much
better than smaller ones.
 
  That has not been the best environment for us. First, we have always made
room for cash--as a reserve--and for fixed income securities--as a low risk fi-
nancial asset. Second, with equities, we have steadily emphasized "value" and
focused mostly on the securities of smaller or medium-size companies, both in
the U.S. and overseas.
 
  We see risk today in high valuations in the U.S. and in Europe, in the lever-
age associated with "derivatives" (futures and options), in the potential for a
brief financial crisis in Japan, in a turn someday in the U.S. dollar's for-
tunes, in a possible policy mistake by the Federal Reserve or foreign monetary
authorities.
 
  For almost twenty years, we have been on the side of caution. We expect that
circumstances will turn less hostile to our investment approach at some point
in the future.
 
  Separately, I am pleased to announce that John L. DeVita has joined our secu-
rities analysis team.
 
                                          Sincerely yours,
 
                                          /s/ Jean-Marie Eveillard

 Performance is historical and is not indicative of future results. The Fund's 
results assume reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions 
and give effect to the deduction of the maximum sales load of 3.75%. The MSCI 
World Index return assume reinvestment of dividends and the JP Morgan Global 
Government Bond Index assumes that a coupon payment received in one currency is 
immediately reinvested back into the bonds in that country's index. Unlike Fund 
returns, the indices do not reflect any fees or expenses.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
 
  Over the past twelve months ended March 31, 1998, U.S. stock markets rose
sharply as the economy remained strong and corporate earnings continued to grow
while inflation and interest rates remained low. Equity valuations have been
high for quite some time: it is difficult to identify undervalued situations in
an environment where stocks are expensive. Holdings in U.S. stocks rose to 26%
from 22.5% a year ago, primarily reflecting price appreciation.
 
  European markets, where the Fund has the majority of its foreign stock expo-
sure, also posted very strong gains in local currency terms. Local economies
generally experienced steady growth, supported by declining interest rates, low
inflation as well as a stronger U.S. dollar while substantial progress was
achieved towards the establishment of the European economic and monetary union
("EMU"). Ongoing corporate restructurings also helped generate significant
earnings growth. As a result, local equity markets rose sharply over the last
twelve months, with large capitalization stocks recording exceptionally strong
gains. While the Fund owns a few large capitalization stocks, the majority of
its investments is concentrated on smaller stocks which lagged the performance
of the European stock market indices. In Asia, Japanese equities continued to
perform poorly: the Southeast Asian crisis of the past summer set back pros-
pects for a near-term economic recovery, while the Japanese financial sector
stayed under significant pressure. The Fund selectively added to its Japanese
holdings over the past twelve months as stock prices declined. Investments in
other Asian countries were limited, as few attractive opportunities were found.
Overall, foreign stocks accounted for approximately 35% of net assets of the
Fund's net assets compared with 33% a year ago.
 
  Fixed income securities represented 19% of the Fund's net assets, a slight
rise from the prior year due in part to increased investments in U.S. Treasury
bonds. Gold-related securities (4% of net assets) declined, reflecting the evo-
lution of gold prices during the period. The U.S. dollar appreciated consider-
ably against foreign currencies over the past twelve months. The negative im-
pact of the rising dollar on the value of the Fund's assets was mitigated by
partially hedging the Fund's foreign currency exposure throughout the year.
Cash holdings remained high, accounting for 16% of total net assets at the end
of the period.

  The table below covers the period from April 28, 1970 (inception of the
Fund) to March 31, 1998. The results shown should not be considered as a rep-
resentation of the dividend income or capital gain or loss which may be real-
ized from an investment made in the Fund today. The amounts shown in the capi-
tal gains distribution and income dividend columns were paid to shareholders
during the period ended with the date shown in the first column.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  SoGen International Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is a diversified open-end manage-
ment investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies adhered
to by the Fund.
 
  A) SECURITY VALUATION--The Fund invests in domestic and foreign securities,
including stocks, bonds, notes and convertible securities, whose values are
subject to changes in market conditions, as well as changes in political and
regulatory environments. All securities, except bonds, for which market quota-
tions are available on a national securities exchange in the United States or a
securities exchange abroad, are valued at their last sale price on the last
business day of the period reported or, in the absence of a sale on that date,
at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. All over-the-counter se-
curities, except bonds, for which market quotations are readily available, are
valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices in the over-the-
counter market in the United States or abroad, except if such unlisted security
is among the NASDAQ designated "Tier 1" securities, in which case it is valued
at its last sale price. All bonds, whether listed on an exchange or traded in
the over-the-counter market, for which market quotations are readily available
are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices received from
dealers in the over-the-counter market in the United States or abroad, except
that when no asked price is available, bonds are valued at the last bid price
alone. Short-term investments maturing in sixty days or less are valued at cost
plus interest earned, which approximates value. All other securities are valued
at fair value as determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The market values of securities which are
not traded in United States currency are recorded in the financial statements
after translation to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rates at the
end of the period. The costs of such securities are translated at exchange
rates prevailing when acquired. Related dividends, interest and withholding
taxes are accrued at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates
of such transactions.
 
  The net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and
market values at the close of the period. The Fund does not isolate that por-
tion of gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign ex-
change rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the equity
securities. However, for federal income tax purposes the Fund does isolate the
effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the changes in market prices
for realized gains or losses on debt obligations.
 
  C) FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS--In connection with purchases and sales of se-
curities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund may enter into forward
currency contracts. Additionally, the Fund may enter into such contracts to
hedge certain other foreign currency denominated investments. These contracts
are recorded at market value, and the related realized and unrealized foreign
exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations. In the
event that counterparties fail to settle these currency contracts or the re-
lated foreign security trades, the Fund could be exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations.
 
  D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME--Security transactions are recorded on
the trade date. The specific identification method is used in determining the
cost of securities and gains or losses on sales of securities. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on the
accrual basis. In computing investment income the Fund amortizes discounts on
debt obligations; however, it does not amortize premiums.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
  E) UNITED STATES INCOME TAXES--No provision has been made for United States
federal income taxes since it is the intention of the Fund to distribute to
shareholders all taxable net investment income and net realized gains on in-
vestments, if any, within the allowable time limit, and to comply with the
other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for a regulated investment compa-
ny. Such income dividends and capital gains distributions are declared and paid
by the Fund on an annual basis.
 
  F) RECLASSIFICATION OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS--On the statement of assets and lia-
bilities, as a result of certain differences in the computation of net invest-
ment income and net realized capital gains on investments under federal income
tax rules and regulations versus generally accepted accounting principles, a
reclassification has been made to increase undistributed net investment income
and decrease undistributed net realized gains on investments in the amount of
$96,797,338. In addition, a reclassification has been made to increase undis-
tributed net realized gains on investments and to decrease capital surplus in
the amount of $694,744. These reclassifications have no impact on the net as-
sets of the Fund.
 
  G) EXPENSES--Earnings credits reduce custodian fees and shareholder servicing
agent fees by the amount of interest on balances with such service providers.
 
  H) USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make esti-
mates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabili-
ties at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of reve-
nues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
 
NOTE 2--INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
 
  Under an investment advisory agreement with the Fund, which became effective
on April 26, 1990. Societe Generale Asset Management Corp. ("SGAM Corp.") re-
ceives an annual fee equal to the sum of 1% of the first $25,000,000 of the av-
erage daily value of the Fund's net assets and 0.75% of the average daily value
of the Fund's net assets in excess of 25,000,000; the fee is payable quarterly
in amounts equal to 0.25% and 0.1875%, respectively, of the average daily value
of the net assets of the Fund during the preceding quarter. In return, SGAM
Corp. provides the Fund with advisory services and pays certain Fund expenses,
including salaries and office costs. For the year ended March 31, 1998, the
Fund's investment advisory fees paid or payable to SGAM Corp. were $30,954,079.
 
  For the year ended March 31, 1998, Societe Generale Securities Corporation
("SGSC"), the principal underwriter, realized $1,208,699 in dealer's and under-
writer's commissions after reallowance to others. Societe Generale, a stock-
holder of SGAM Corp. and SGSC, received dealer's commissions of $52,682. For
the same period, Societe Generale or its affiliates received $103,244 in bro-
ker's commissions for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
 
  Each director who is not an officer of the Fund or an employee of SGAM Corp.,
SGSC or its corporate affiliates is paid an annual fee of $6,000 plus $1,000
for each meeting attended. Such fees amounted to $39,000 for the year ended
March 31, 1998.
 
NOTE 3--PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
  The Fund has a Distribution Plan and Agreement (the "Plan") with SGSC, pursu-
ant to the provisions of Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
whereby the Fund pays SGSC, quarterly, a distribution fee of up to, on an an-
nual basis, 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Fund. Under the
Plan, SGSC must apply the full amount of fees received from the Fund to actual
distribution

expenses incurred during the fiscal year, including the payment of fees to
dealers selling shares of the Fund, the payment of advertising costs and the
payment for the preparation, printing and distribution of prospectuses to pro-
spective investors. The Plan, which became effective on November 14, 1985, ex-
cludes for the purpose of calculating the average daily net asset value for
payment of the fee, Fund assets attributable to Fund shares outstanding before
that date and any subsequent dividends and distributions thereon.
 
  SGSC bears the Fund's distribution costs to the extent they exceed payments
under the Plan. For year ended March 31, 1998, the Fund's distribution fees
paid or payable to SGSC were $10,136,493.
 
NOTE 4--PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
 
  During the year ended March 31, 1998, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments, excluding U.S. Government obligations and
short-term securities, totaled $574,584,530 and $688,117,290, respectively.
During the same period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of U.S.
Government obligations totaled $157,685,383 and $5,000,000, respectively.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of SoGen International Fund, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of SoGen
International Fund, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of March
31, 1998, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended,
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 responsibil-
ity 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 stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial high-
lights 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
March 31, 1998, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement pre-
sentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opin-
ion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
SoGen International Fund, Inc., as of March 31, 1998, the results of its opera-
tions 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.
