During the reporting period, the Asian economic and currency crisis was the
major event in the U.S. fixed income markets.

[bullet] Long-term interest rates fell dramatically even though the U.S. economy
         continued to grow steadily.

[bullet] In this environment, the Federal Reserve Board left the Federal Funds
         rate unchanged at 5.5%.

                               Chairman's Letter

                                                                 October 1, 1998

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report on each of the Chase Vista
Tax-Free Money Market Funds(SM). Inside, you will find current seven-day yields
for each fund as of August 31, 1998 as well as listings of current holdings.

Asian Economic Crisis Keeps Rates Low

The reporting period began with the economic and currency problems in Asia
pushing interest rates lower, despite continuing signs of a robust U.S.
economy. The problems in Asia subsided in early 1998, which kept interest rates
relatively stable, but those concerns re-surfaced in April, which put pressure
on rates throughout the summer.

During the reporting period, short-term interest rates showed only a modest
change compared to long-term interest rates. In fact, the decline in long-term
interest rates was so steep, it created a virtual flattening of the yield curve,
meaning the difference between short- and long-term interest rates was minimal.

In this environment, the Federal Reserve maintained its neutral monetary
policy, as it has for roughly a year and a half. The Fed has not raised
short-term interest rates since March, 1997 and has not lowered them since
December, 1996.

In anticipation of lower interest rates due to the economic and currency
problems in southeast Asia, Vista's money management team maintained a slightly
higher average duration throughout much of the period. As always, the
management team invested solely in high quality securities.

Looking ahead, the Asian economy is likely to continue placing downward
pressure on interest rates, despite signs the U.S. economy remains in good
shape. To help ensure the domestic economy does not weaken in the face of the
uncertainty in Asia, we would not be surprised to see the Federal Reserve lower
interest rates in the months ahead.


Sincerely,

/s/ Fergus Reid

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Yields will fluctuate.
An investment is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government and
there can be no assurance that the fund will maintain a stable Net Asset Value
of $1.00 per share.

1 The yield for Vista Shares reflects the voluntary waiver of certain expenses
and the assumption of certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund. Without
waivers, the yield would have been 2.75%. This voluntary waiver may be modified
or terminated at any time, which would reduce performance.

2 Taxable equivalent yields are calculated based on the SEC yield divided by 1
minus the effective tax rate. The effective federal tax rate used for this
illustration is 39.6%


A portion of the Fund's income may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax
(AMT), and some investors may be subject to certain state and local taxes.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Yields will fluctuate.
An investment is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government and
there can be no assurance that the fund will maintain a stable Net Asset Value
of $1.00 per share.

1 The yield for Vista Shares reflects the voluntary waiver of certain expenses
and the assumption of certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund. Without
waivers, the yield would have been 2.62%. This voluntary waiver may be modified
or terminated at any time, which would reduce performance.

2 Taxable Equivalent Yields are calculated based on the SEC yield divided by 1
minus the effective tax rate. The effective combined federal, state and local
tax rate used for this illustration is 46.43%

A portion of the Fund's income may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax
(AMT), and some investors may be subject to certain state and local taxes.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Yields will fluctuate.
An investment is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government and
there can be no assurance that the fund will maintain a stable Net Asset Value
of $1.00 per share.

1 The yield for Vista Shares reflects the voluntary waiver of certain expenses
and the assumption of certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund. Without
waivers, the yield would have been 2.11%. This voluntary waiver may be modified
or terminated at any time, which would reduce performance.

2 Taxable equivalent yields are calculated based on the SEC Yield divided by 1
minus the effective tax rate. The effective combined federal, and state tax
rate used for this illustration is 45.22%


A portion of the Fund's income may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax
(AMT), and some investors may be subject to certain state and local taxes.

Chase Vista Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies -- Mutual Fund Trust
("MFT") (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "1940
Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. Effective March 16, 1998,
the Vista Family of Mutual Funds changed its name to the Chase Vista Funds. Tax
Free Money Market Fund ("CVTF"), New York Tax Free Money Market Fund ("CVNYTF")
and California Tax Free Money Market Fund ("CVCTF") are separate portfolios of
MFT. Collectively all of these funds are referred to as "Money Market Funds" or
individually as the "Fund".

The funds offer various classes of shares as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Fund       Classes Offered
- ----       ---------------
<S>        <C>
CVTF       Vista, Premier, Institutional
CVNYTF     Vista
CVCTF      Vista
</TABLE>

All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting
privileges except that each class may bear different transfer agent,
distribution, and shareholder servicing expenses, and each class has exclusive
voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing
agreement.

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

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

   A. Valuation of investments -- Money market instruments are valued at
   amortized cost which approximates market value. The Trust's use of amortized
   cost is subject to the Trust's compliance with certain conditions as
   specified under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.

   B. Repurchase agreements -- It is the Trust's policy that repurchase
   agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government agency
   securities. All collateral is held by the Trust's custodian bank,
   sub-custodian or a bank in which the custodian bank has entered into a
   sub-custodian agreement or is segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry
   System. If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults and the value of
   the collateral declines, or if the seller enters into an insolvency
   proceeding, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

   C. Security transactions and investment income -- Investment transactions
   are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is
   executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified
   cost basis. Interest income consists of coupon interest accrued less the
   amortization of any premiums on the investments of the Funds.

   D. Federal income taxes -- Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable
   entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Trust's policy is to comply
   with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
   investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of a Fund's
   distributable net income, including net realized gain on investments. In
   addition, the Trust intends to make distributions as required to avoid
   excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is
   necessary.

   E. Distributions to shareholders -- Each Fund declares and records a
   dividend of substantially all of its net investment income on each business
   day. Such dividends are paid or re-invested monthly in each respective
   Fund's shares on the payable dates. The amount of dividends and
   distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is
   determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may
   differ from generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these


                                                                              55

Chase Vista Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from
   other than timing of recognition -- "temporary differences"), such amounts
   are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal income
   tax-basis treatment. Dividends and distributions which exceed net
   investment income or net realized capital gains for financial reporting
   purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as distributions in excess
   of net investment income or net realized capital gains.

   F. Income and expenses -- Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are
   charged to that Fund; expenses directly attributable to a particular class
   are charged directly to such class. Other expenses are allocated
   proportionately among the Funds within the Trust in relation to the net
   assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. In calculating net
   asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and
   unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific
   expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
   proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

2. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

   A. Investment advisory fee -- Pursuant to separate Investment Advisory
   Agreements, The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase" or "Advisor"), acts as the
   investment adviser to the Funds. Chase is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary
   of The Chase Manhattan Corporation. As investment adviser, Chase supervises
   the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee
   is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.10% of the
   average daily net assets for each respective Fund. The Adviser voluntarily
   waived all or a portion of its fees as outlined in Note 2.E. below.

   Chase Asset Management, Inc. ("CAM"), a registered investment adviser, is the
   sub-investment adviser to each Fund, other than the Vista Tax Free Money
   Market Fund, pursuant to a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between CAM and
   Chase. CAM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chase and is entitled to receive a
   fee, payable by Chase from its advisory fee, at an annual rate equal to 0.03%
   of each Fund's average daily net assets.

   Chase Bank of Texas, National Association ("CBT") is the sub-investment
   adviser to the Tax Free Money Market Fund pursuant to a Sub-Investment
   Advisory Agreement between Chase and CBT. CBT is a wholly owned subsidiary
   of Chase and is entitled to receive a fee, payable by Chase from its
   advisory fee, at an annual rate equal to 0.03% of the Fund's average daily
   net assets.

   B. Shareholder servicing fees -- The Trust adopted an Administrative
   Service Plan which, among other things, provides that the Trust on behalf
   of the Funds may obtain the services of one or more Shareholder Servicing
   Agents. For its services, each Shareholder Servicing Agent receives a fee.
   The fee is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.35% and
   0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Vista Class and Premier Class,
   respectively.

   No Shareholder Servicing fee was paid for the Institutional Shares.

   Chase and certain of its affiliates have been the only Shareholder
   Servicing Agents. The Shareholder Servicing Agents have voluntarily waived
   all or a portion of their fees as outlined in Note 2.E. below.

   The Trustees have adopted plans of distribution under the 1940 Act for the
   Vista Shares (the "Vista Plan"). There are no distribution plans for the
   Premier or Institutional Shares. Vista Plan pays the Distributor a
   distribution fee. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual
   rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Vista Class of each Fund.

   The Distributor voluntarily waived all or a portion of distribution fees as
   outlined in Note 2.E. below.

   D. Administration fee -- Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, Chase
   (the "Administrator") provides certain administration services and
   facilities to each Fund at a fee computed daily and paid monthly at the

   assets.

   The Administrator voluntarily waived all or a portion of the administration
   fees as outlined in Note 2.E. below.

   F. Other -- Certain officers of the Trust are officers of VFD or of its
   parent corporation, BISYS.

   In addition, Chase provides portfolio accounting and custody services for
   the Funds. Such amounts are presented in the Statement of Operations as
   custodian fees.

3. Federal Income Tax Matters -- At August 31, 1998, Chase Vista Tax Free Money
Market Fund, Chase Vista New York Tax Free Money Market Fund and Chase Vista
California Tax Free Money Market Fund had net capital loss carryovers of
approximately $114,000, $97,000 and $16,000, respectively. Such losses will be
available to offset future capital gains and will expire between August 31,
2001 and 2006. To the extent that any net capital losses are used to offset
future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be
distributed to shareholders.

5. Concentration of Credit Risk -- CVTF, CVNYTF and CVCTF invest substantially
all of their assets in a diversified portfolio of debt obligations issued by
states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the District of
Columbia, and by their political subdivisions and duly constituted authorities,

primarily investing in issuers in the State of California. As of August 31,
1998, CVTF invested approximately 16.6% of its net assets in issuers in the

defined benefit pension plan covering all independent trustees of the Funds who

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Mutual Fund Trust


In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios 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 Chase Vista Tax Free Money Market
Fund, Chase Vista New York Tax Free Money Market Fund and Chase Vista
California Tax Free Money Market Fund (separate portfolios of Mutual Fund
Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at August 31, 1998, the results of
each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the periods presented, 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 August 31, 1998 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
