Dear Shareholder:
 
     On behalf of everyone at FUNDS IV Trust, we are pleased to send you this
semi-annual report on the financial condition of the FUNDS IV Trust for the six
months ended December 31, 1995. Included are investment summaries and detailed
financial information for the FUNDS IV Funds and each portfolio of investments.
An overview of economic factors has been included to assist in your financial
investments.
 
ECONOMIC REVIEW AND MARKET OUTLOOK
 
STOCK AND BOND MARKETS SURGE IN 1995
 
     Modest economic growth and contained inflationary pressures encouraged
investors to buy both stocks and bonds during the second half of 1995. Bond
prices were pushed higher as long-term Treasury yields fell below 6.0%. The
rally in bonds was further fueled by the Federal Reserve Board's action of
cutting the Fed funds rate 25 basis points to a target of 5.5%. The bond market
also benefited from investor optimism that Congress and the president would come
to an agreement that would eventually balance the budget and reduce the federal
deficit.
 
     The bond market rally helped fuel a strong equity market as well. The drop
in rates not only helped to directly boost profits for a host of financial and
utility issues, but also increased the price investors were willing to pay for
the future earnings of stocks in general. This had an especially powerful impact
on selected stocks whose future cash flows were deemed to be most predictable.
 
BUDGET ACCORD COULD MEAN LOWER INTEREST RATES IN 1996
 
     We are cautiously constructive on the bond market going into 1996. However,
counting on another drop in long-term interest rates like that seen in the
second half of 1995 is not recommended. However, short-term rates (the so-called
"front-end" of the yield curve) could play catch-up in 1996. Though we believe
the economy will continue to experience slow growth and low inflation during
1996, we think the market will need another catalyst to move rates lower. The
direction of interest rates for 1996 will be largely dependent on the fiscal
policy agreed upon by Congress and the president. If an agreement can be reached
that will result in a viable budget that contains provisions for balancing the
budget over a reasonable time and reducing the massive federal deficit, interest
rates should move lower. However, if an agreement is not reached over the near
term, we may experience a sharp drop in bond prices resulting in higher interest
rates.
 
     While earnings growth in 1996 is not forecast to match the robust gains
seen in 1995, a high single-digit percentage year-to-year profit increase would
be supportive of additional gains in stocks. Despite 1995's market surge and the
more subdued 1996 profit outlook, most stocks still have valuations that seem
reasonable in the context of today's low interest-rate environment.
 
     Finally, three sources of demand may help stocks in 1996: 1) continued
inflow into stock mutual funds from individuals whose stock exposure is still
well below historical extremes; 2) continued merger and buyback activity on the
heels of 1995 when $400 billion in stock effectively left the market;
<PAGE>   2
 
and 3) a resurgence in demand from underinvested foreigners, likely to be
emboldened by a further rise in the U.S. dollar.
 
     A cautionary word about fixed income return expectations for 1996:
 
     It is very unlikely and we do not anticipate that fixed income market
returns in 1996 will match or even approach the double-digit total returns
generated in 1995 given the current low level of interest rates. We would
anticipate, even in a somewhat favorable economic and market environment, that
fixed income returns in 1996 are likely to equal coupon return plus one or two
percent price appreciation.
 
     A cautionary word about equity return expectations for 1996:
 
     It is not likely, nor do we expect to see equity market index returns in
1996 that match or even approach those generated by the Standard & Poor 500
Stock Index in 1995. The 37.5% return in 1995 was the best showing for the S&P
500 in 37 years and was exceptional by any measure. We believe, if 1996 proves
to be a positive market environment for stocks, that the annual return on
equities is likely to approximate the normalized long-term annual return rate
for large company stocks, as reported by Ibbottson Associates, of 10.2%.
 
CASH RESERVE MONEY MARKET FUND
 
     For the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Service Class of The FUNDS
IV Cash Reserve Money Market Fund ranked 59 out of 136 Institutional Money Funds
as reported by Lipper Analytical Services with an annualized total return of
5.77%.
 
     On July 6, 1995 in response to waning inflation, the Federal Reserve
lowered interest rates by 25 basis points. The Fund achieved its healthy
performance during this environment of falling interest rates by investing in
longer-term fixed rate obligations and maintaining a longer average maturity. On
July 6, 1995 the Fund's weighted average maturity was 73 days.
 
     During the end of the fourth quarter, the economy began to show signs of a
slowdown. In order to simulate the economy, on December 19, 1995, the Federal
Reserve lowered interest rates by 25 basis points. The Fund was well positioned
for this additional rate cut, as the portfolio strategy included maintaining a
longer weighted average maturity. On December 19, 1995, the Fund's weighted
average maturity was 76 days. And on December 31, 1995 it was 71 days.
 
     The Fund's above average performance can be attributed primarily to
investing in longer-term obligations (such as six month commercial paper and
bankers' acceptances) during this period of compelling economic fundamentals of
slower growth and low inflation.
 
     We believe your Fund is well positioned to continue to achieve above
average performance results for 1996.

SHORT-TERM TREASURY INCOME FUND
 
     The FUNDS IV Short-Term Treasury Income Fund's objective is to provide
investors with as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity
and safety of principal.
 
     The Fund is invested exclusively in short-term U.S. Treasury securities,
and U.S. Treasury backed money market reserves. The weighted average maturity of
the Fund will generally range between two and three years, depending upon the
returns generated by the short-term U.S. Treasury securities. For the six-month
period ended December 31, 1995, the Fund generated a total return to investors
of 4.3%,
<PAGE>   3
 
and ended the period with a weighted average maturity of 2.9 years. During the
last six months of 1995, the yield on three-year U.S. Treasury Notes rose to a
high of 6.2% in August, before ending the year at the low of 5.25%. The duration
of the Fund (a key measure of the price sensitivity of a portfolio of
fixed-income securities) ranged from a defensively positioned low of 101% of the
index duration in August when interest rates were rising, to a high of 121% of
the index duration in October when interest rates continued their downward
trend. The Fund ended the year 1995 with a duration of 110% of the index. Our
proprietary Bond Risk Modes score is used to guide changes in overall Fund
strategy and duration relative to the benchmark index. For the six-month period
ended December 31, 1995, the Fund performance trailed slightly the Lehman Mutual
Fund Short (1-5) year U.S. Treasury Index by approximately 20 basis points after
all fees and expenses.
 
     The portfolio manager for The Short-Term Treasury Income Fund is Ms. Janet
L. Mullen.
 
INTERMEDIATE BOND INCOME FUND
 
     The FUNDS IV Intermediate Bond Income Fund's objective is to provide
investors with a high level of current income as is consistent with managing for
total return by investing in a portfolio of intermediate maturity government and
investment grade corporate securities.
 
     The Intermediate Bond Income Fund produced a total return of 5.02% for the
six months July 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995. The principal factor impacting
Fund performance during the period was changes in the levels of interest rates.
During the first half of the fiscal year, the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share
rose as bond prices moved higher in response to falling interest rates. Holdings
within the Fund generally performed well although Fund performance modestly
trailed the 5.23% return of its benchmark index, the Lehman Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index. The Fund's solid performance is attributed to
its relatively longer duration and maturity structure during a period of
declining interest rates.
 
     At December 31, 1995, the Fund had approximately 96% of its net assets
invested in U.S. Government obligations and corporate securities rated "A" or
higher by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and/or Standard and Poor's
Corporation.
 
     On December 31, 1995 the average maturity of the portfolio was 6.1 years
and the average portfolio quality rating at the end of the period was "AAA".
 
     The portfolio manager for The Intermediate Bond Income Fund is Mr. Brad D.
Eppard.
 
BOND INCOME FUND
 
     The FUNDS IV Bond Income Fund's objective is to provide investors with as
high a level of current income as is consistent with managing for total return
by investing in fixed income securities comprised primarily of Treasuries and
investment grade corporate bonds. The major difference between the FUNDS IV Bond
Income Fund and the FUNDS IV Intermediate Bond Income Fund is the Bond Income
Fund's higher exposure to bonds with maturities longer than 10 years.
 
     The Bond Income Fund produced a total return net of expenses of 6.80% for
the six months July 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995, performing well versus its
benchmark index, the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index which returned 6.66%
for the same period. The Fund is managed for total return in an effort to
enhance Fund performance. The principal factor impacting Fund performance during
the period was changes in the levels of interest rates. Net Asset Value (NAV)
per share rose as bond prices rebounded strongly as interest rates fell on
economic weakness and reduced inflationary fears.

     On December 31, 1995 the average maturity of the portfolio was 9.2 years
and the Fund had approximately 97% of its net assets invested in U.S. Government
obligations and corporate securities rated "A" or higher by Moody's Investor
Services, Inc. and/or Standard and Poor's Corporation resulting in an average
portfolio quality rating at the end of the period of "AAA".
 
     The portfolio manager for The Bond Income Fund is Mr. Brad D. Eppard.
 
STOCK APPRECIATION FUND
 
     The objective of The FUNDS IV Stock Appreciation Fund is to seek long-term
capital appreciation through investment in a diversified portfolio of common
stocks. Permissible investments include U.S. common stocks and foreign stocks
represented by American Depository Receipts (ADR's). Stocks are selected based
on a number of factors that include fundamental business outlook, valuation
relative to other companies in the same industry, and the company's own
historical norms and earnings momentum. Substantial short-term cash reserves (up
to 35%) may be held as a defensive measure when stock market risk appears high.
 
     At December 31, 1995, the Fund held modest levels of cash and cash
equivalents. The Fund held approximate market weightings in the energy, health
care, raw materials, technology, transportation, and utilities sectors. The Fund
held higher than market weightings in the capital goods, consumer services,
consumer durables, and finance sectors, while maintaining less than market
weightings in the consumer non-durable, miscellaneous, and retail sectors. On
average, the Fund's holdings sell at a price equal to their intrinsic value as
determined by the Investment Adviser (the S&P 500 Index, meanwhile is selling at
a 11% discount) and are displaying positive earnings momentum. The average
projected growth rate for the stocks in the Fund is 12% (versus the S&P 500 of
10%). The average price/earnings multiple is about equivalent to the market's.
The current dividend yield of 2.0% slightly trails the S&P 500 of 2.3%. The
dollar weighted median market capitalization for the Fund is $20.1 billion. The
average return on equity is 20.0% (versus 17.4% for the S&P 500).
 
     The portfolio manager of The Stock Appreciation Fund is Mr. Paul D. Worth.
 
AGGRESSIVE STOCK APPRECIATION FUND
 
     The objective of The FUNDS IV Aggressive Stock Appreciation Fund is to
aggressively seek long-term capital appreciation through investment in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks. Permissible investments include U.S.
common stocks and foreign stocks represented by American Depository Receipts
(ADR's). While the Fund will always hold a broad array of larger capitalization
stocks (stocks with market capitalization of approximately $4 billion and
greater), there will often be an emphasis on investing in mid-capitalization
issues, and to a much lesser extent, smaller-capitalization stocks
(approximately $1 billion and under). Stocks are selected based on a number of
factors including fundamental business outlook, valuation relative to other
companies in the same industry, and the company's own historical norms and
earnings momentum. In addition, the Fund may hold considerable positions
(relative to the market) in broadly-defined economic sectors whose growth
potential is not reflected in current stock prices. Substantial short-term cash
reserves may be held during defensive periods when stock market risk appears
high.
 
     At December 31, 1995, the Fund was fully-invested as it had been through
much of the second half of the calendar year. The Fund held approximate market
weightings in the consumer durables, technology, and transportation sectors. The
Fund held higher than market weightings in the capital goods, consumer services,
finance, raw materials, and retail sectors, while maintaining less than market
weightings the in consumer non-durable, miscellaneous, energy, health care, and
utilities sectors. On
<PAGE>   5
 
average, the Fund's holdings sell at a price equal to their intrinsic value as
determined by the Investment Adviser (the S&P 500 Index, meanwhile is selling at
a 11% discount) and are displaying positive earnings momentum. The average
projected growth rate for the stocks in the Fund is 15% (versus the S&P 500 of
10%). The average price/earnings multiple is 22.1 (versus the S&P 500 of 17.4).
The current dividend yield of 1.3% is less than the S&P 500 2.3%. The dollar
weighted median market capitalization for the Fund is $5.6 billion. The average
return on equity is 18.0% (versus 17.4% for the S&P 500). The Fund remains
well-exposed to selected stocks in the mid-capitalization area of the market, an
area which provides a particularly compelling reward/risk tradeoff -- compared
to the large-cap segment -- given the valuation of secondary stocks relative to
their growth prospects.
 
     The portfolio manager for The Aggressive Stock Appreciation Fund is Mr.
Paul D. Worth.
 
VALUE STOCK APPRECIATION FUND
 
     The objective of The FUNDS IV Value Stock Appreciation Fund is to seek
long-term capital appreciation and dividend income through investment in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks (and securities convertible into common
stocks) of domestic companies. The Fund may also invest, to a far lesser extent,
in securities of foreign companies, primarily through securities represented by
American Depository Receipts (ADR's).
 
     The Fund employs a "value style" of equity management. Stocks are selected
for purchase when they sell at a discount to their underlying "intrinsic" value.
We determine a stock's intrinsic value by discounting its expected future
dividends to the present value of such dividends. This process of calculating a
stock's intrinsic value is frequently referred to as a "dividend discount
model". Holdings are often characterized by stocks with relatively low
price/earnings ratios, and/or low price/cash flow ratios. Another characteristic
may be higher-than-average dividend yield. Quite often, the stocks will fall
into categories of being under-owned or "out of favor". Equity investments are
selected from a pool of high-quality large, medium, and small capitalization
stocks. The determination of high-quality is based on the Investment Adviser's
assessment of a company's financial strength, size and earnings variability.
Stocks are purchased with the long-term time horizon in mind and are generally
sold when their market price rises above intrinsic value and/or their underlying
fundamentals begin to deteriorate.
 
     At December 31, 1995, the Fund held modest levels of cash and cash
equivalents as was the case throughout the first half of the calendar year. On
average, the Fund's holdings sell at a 21% discount to their intrinsic value as
determined by the Investment Adviser (the S&P 500 Index, meanwhile is selling at
a 11% discount) and are displaying positive earnings momentum. The average
growth rate for the stocks in the Fund is 10% (versus the S&P 500 of 10%). The
average price/earnings multiple is about equivalent to the market's. The current
dividend yield of 3.0% slightly exceeds the S&P 500 of 2.3%. Two of the Fund's
other key characteristics remain superior to the market. The average return on
assets is 9.5% (versus 3.0% for the S&P 500) and average return on equity is
25.2% (versus 17.4% for the S&P 500).
 
     The portfolio manager for The Value Stock Appreciation Fund is Mr. Stuart
Hopkins.

FUNDS IV TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
December 31, 1995
 
1.  DESCRIPTION AND ORGANIZATION
 
     FUNDS IV Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment
company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware business trust on May 2, 1994 and
currently consists of eleven portfolios: The U.S. Treasury Reserve Money Market
Fund, The Cash Reserve Money Market Fund, The Short-Term Treasury Income Fund,
The Intermediate Bond Income Fund, The Bond Income Fund, The Stock Appreciation
Fund, The Aggressive Stock Appreciation Fund, The Value Stock Appreciation Fund,
The U.S. Intermediate Tax Exempt Fund, The Kansas Intermediate Tax Exempt Fund,
and The International Equity Fund (each, a "Fund", collectively, the "Funds").
Each Fund comprises two classes of shares, the Service Class and the Premium
Class. The capitalization of the Trust consists solely of an unlimited number of
shares of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 each.
 
     Currently, seven of the Funds are active. The Cash Reserve Money Market
Fund commenced operations on August 19, 1994; The Short-Term Treasury Income
Fund, The Intermediate Bond Income Fund, The Bond Income Fund, The Stock
Appreciation Fund, and The Aggressive Stock Appreciation Fund commenced
operations on August 26, 1994. The Value Stock Appreciation Fund commenced
operations on February 10, 1995. As of December 31, 1995, The U.S. Treasury
Reserve Money Market Fund, The U.S. Intermediate Tax Exempt Fund, The Kansas
Intermediate Tax Exempt Fund, and The International Equity Fund had not
commenced operations.
 
     Prior to the commencement of operations, none of the Funds had any
operations other than organization matters and the sale to FUNDS IV Distributor,
Inc. ("FFD"), the Trust's Distributor, of shares of beneficial interest
representing the initial capital of the Funds.
 
     Each class of shares outstanding bears the same dividend, liquidation and
other rights and conditions, except that the Service Class shares and the
Premium Class shares may bear separate shareholder servicing expenses, different
transfer agency and printing and postage expenses. Each class of shares has
exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class.
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
 
     A) SECURITY VALUATION: The Funds (except The Cash Reserve Money Market
        Fund) value investments at the last sales price on the securities
        exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Over-the-counter
        securities, or exchange traded securities for which there are no
        transactions, are valued at the current bid price. Bonds and other fixed
        income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a
        pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. In the absence of
        market quotations, investments are valued at fair value as determined in
        good faith by, or at the direction of the Board of Trustees. Short-term
        securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost,
        if their term to
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   38
 
FUNDS IV TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
December 31, 1995
 
        maturity at purchase was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value
        on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity at
        purchase exceeded 60 days.
 
             Investment securities of The Cash Reserve Money Market Fund are
        valued using the amortized cost method which approximates current market
        value. Under this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased
        and, thereafter, a constant proportionate amortization of any discount
        or premium is recorded until maturity of the security.
 
     B) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME: Investment transactions are
        recorded on the trade date. Identified cost of investments sold is used
        to calculate gain and loss on sales for both financial statement and
        Federal income tax purposes. Interest income, including the
        amortization of discount or premium, is recorded as earned. Dividend
        income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
       
     C) DIVIDEND AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends from
        net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly, generally on
        the first business day of each month, for The Cash Reserve Money Market
        Fund, The Short-Term Treasury Income Fund, The Intermediate Bond Income
        Fund, and The Bond Income Fund. In the case of The Stock Appreciation
        Fund, The Aggressive Stock Appreciation Fund, and The Value Stock
        Appreciation Fund, dividends are paid at least annually. Each Fund will
        distribute, at least annually, substantially all net capital gains, if
        any, earned by the Fund. The amount of dividends and distributions are
        determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may
        differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax"
        differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To
        the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are
        reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax
        basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
        Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net
        realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
        purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
        distributions in excess of net realized capital gains.
 
     D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Each Fund is a separate taxable entity for Federal
        income tax purposes, qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a
        "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal
        Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, each Fund will not
        be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes all
        of its "investment company taxable income" as defined in the Code, and
        net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Each Fund also intends
        to meet the distribution requirements to avoid the payment of an excise
        tax. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.
 
     E) ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS: Costs incurred in connection with the
        organization and initial registration of each Fund have been deferred
        and are being amortized on a straight-line basis for a five-year period
        beginning with the commencement of operations of each Fund. In the
        event that any of the initial shares of the Funds owned by FFD are
        redeemed during the amortization period, the redemption proceeds will
        be reduced by a pro rata portion of any unamortized deferred
        organization expenses in the same proportion as the number of initial
       
                                       32

         shares being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares outstanding
         at the time of redemption.
 
     F)  DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE AND ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES: Expenses
         directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund; other
         expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund 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 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 (for daily
         dividend Funds, based on the value of outstanding settled shares).
 
3.  INVESTMENT ADVISERS
 
     BANK IV KANSAS, N.A. ("BANK IV") provides investment advisory services to
the Funds (except The Cash Reserve Money Market Fund). BANK IV is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Fourth Financial Corporation ("Fourth Financial") and it acts as
the investment adviser to a wide variety of trusts, individuals, institutions
and corporations.
 
     On January 31, 1996, Fourth Financial, the corporate parent of BANK IV (the
investment adviser to the Funds) merged, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. ("Boatmen's").
The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the merger of Fourth
Financial with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boatmen's (the "Merger").
 
     The Merger resulted in one of the nation's 30 largest bank holding
companies, with estimated assets of over $40 billion. As of September 30, 1995,
Fourth Financial was the nation's 71st largest bank holding company, with assets
of over $7.5 billion, and Boatmen's was the nation's 30th largest bank holding
company with assets of approximately $33 billion. Boatmen's and its subsidiaries
provide a broad range of financial services to individuals and businesses
through offices in nine states. Boatmen's manages or otherwise oversees the
investment of over $45 billion in assets belonging to a wide range of clients,
including the Pilot Family of Funds.
 
     On January 15, 1996, the Trustees of Funds IV Trust approved the assignment
of the Trust's advisory contract with BANK IV that is deemed to occur upon the
consummation of this Merger.
 
     AMR Investment Services, Inc. ("AMR") provides investment advisory services
to The Cash Reserve Money Market Fund. AMR is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR
Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. It was organized in
1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative, and asset
management consulting services.
 
     Pursuant to the separate Advisory Agreements, BANK IV and AMR act as
Investment Advisers and, subject to the supervision and direction of the Trust's
Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Funds in accordance with their
investment objectives and policies, make investment decisions and place orders
to purchase and sell securities for the Funds. As compensation for their
investment advisory services, the Advisers are each entitled to receive from the
respective Funds they advise a

     In addition, Furman Selz also provides fund accounting services for the
Funds pursuant to a Fund Accounting Agreement between the Trust and Furman Selz.
As compensation for its accounting services, Furman Selz receives from each Fund
an annual fee of $30,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses.
 
     Currently, California is the only state imposing limitations on the
expenses of the Funds. If, in any fiscal year, the total expenses of a Fund
(excluding taxes, interest, distribution expenses, brokerage commissions,
certain portfolio transaction expenses, other expenditures which are capitalized
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and extraordinary
expenses, but including the advisory and administrative services fees) exceed
the expense limitations applicable to that Fund imposed by the securities
regulations, BANK IV, or AMR (with respect to The Cash Reserve Money Market Fund
only), and Furman Selz will reimburse the Funds for a portion of the excess with
BANK IV or AMR paying 60% and Furman Selz the remaining 40% of the excess.
Aggregate annual expenses shall not normally exceed 2 1/2% of the first $30
million of the average net assets, 2% of the next $70 million of the average net
assets, and 1 1/2% of the remaining average net assets. For the six months ended
December 31, 1995, there were no reimbursements required as a result of these
expense limitations for the Funds.
 
5.  SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS
 
     The Trust contracts with banks, trust companies, brokers-dealers, or other
financial organizations ("Service Organizations") to provide certain
administrative services for the Funds. Such services, which are described more
fully in the Statement of Additional Information, may include, among other
things: (i) maintaining shareholder accounts and records; (ii) processing
purchase and redemption transactions; (iii) providing periodic statements
showing a shareholder's account balance; and (iv) furnishing periodic and annual
statements, annual reports, prospectuses, and other communications from the
Funds to shareholders.
 
     Each Service Organization has agreed to transmit a schedule to its clients
of any additional fees or conditions that may be applicable to the investment of
the Funds' shares.
 
     For the services provided, the Funds may pay fees to Service Organizations
at an annual rate of up to 0.05% of the average daily net asset value of the
Funds' Service Class shares owned by shareholders with whom the Service
Organization has a servicing relationship. The Premium Class shares may bear an
additional shareholder servicing charge of up to 0.50%, annually, of the average
daily net assets. For the six months ended December 31, 1995, Service Class
shares and Premium Class shares incurred shareholder servicing fees of 0.05%.
