REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Strategy Funds

 .    Stocks rose and bonds slipped as the Fed raised short-term rates to curb
     potential inflation.

 .    The Personal Strategy Income, Balanced, and Growth Funds provided
     respectable returns for the 6- and 12-month periods ended November 30,
     1999.

 .    The funds' results were hampered versus the benchmarks by their small-cap
     and value holdings, while international and large-cap growth stocks made
     positive contributions.

 .    We believe foreign stocks still offer better value than U.S. equities and
     high-yield bonds are particularly attractive among fixed income
     investments.

FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS

During the past six months, the domestic economy continued to grow strongly
while overseas economies picked up steam. Third quarter GDP was revised upward
to 5.5% and unemployment was at a 30-year low of 4.1%. With the dwindling supply
of available workers increasing the prospects for higher inflation, the Federal
Reserve raised the fed funds target rate three times. In this uncertain
environment, stocks advanced but bonds lost ground.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

While overall inflation remains benign, there are signs of inflationary
pressures in several areas of the U.S. economy, including higher import prices,
the weakening dollar, and accelerating producer prices. Oil prices increased
150% during the past 12 months and reached a nine-year high of almost $27 per
barrel in November before finishing the month a bit lower.

International economies continued to strengthen. In Asia, corporate
restructuring boosted investor confidence and, consequently, stocks and
currencies. The Japanese yen gained ground against the U.S. dollar and finished
November near its four-year high of 101 versus the greenback. In Europe,
economies also improved without threat of inflation, although European central
bankers are sending stronger signals that rate hikes may lie ahead. Despite the
prospect of higher interest rates, the euro slid toward parity with the U.S.
dollar, losing about 16% in value over its 11-month existence.

U.S. corporations reported very strong profits in the third quarter. After-tax
profits rose 3% to post an 11.7% growth rate through September, the strongest
since third quarter 1997. The improvement in earnings growth relative to nominal
GDP suggests at least marginal improvement in pricing power for domestic
companies.

Growth stocks returned to dominance in domestic equity markets, as value stocks
faltered after rallying in the spring. International equity markets,
particularly in Asia, Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea, showed surprising
strength. Japan and the rest of Asia tend to be large net importers of
commodities, and strength in those economies has driven commodity prices higher.

In the fixed income markets, yields rose and prices fell as concerns about
accelerating inflation prompted the Fed to boost the fed funds target rate a
total of three-quarters of a percentage point. The two-year Treasury yield rose
59 basis points while the 30-year yield climbed 46 since the end of May,
hampering bond returns (100 basis points equal one percentage point).

PERFORMANCE AND STRATEGY REVIEW

The funds' investment committee meets once a month to adjust the weightings of
stocks, bonds, and money market securities within the appropriate ranges for
each fund, based on market conditions and economic fundamentals. The committee
maintained a modest underweighting in stocks in the Balanced and Growth Funds
and a slight overweighting in the Income Fund.

Valuation disparities between growth and value stocks grew even more pronounced.
In August we redirected some profits from our growth stocks into the value
sector. Although we made no changes to the small-cap allocation, we believe
small-cap stocks continue to offer compelling valuations given their growth
potential. We also feel that foreign markets currently offer more attractive
valuations than domestic equities. Accordingly, in October we shifted away from
domestic stocks into international stocks.

Domestic fixed income markets have been declining, partly a result of record
levels of new bond issuance. While we think that improved liquidity over the
next few months should favor bonds in general, we believe the attractive income
offered by high-yield bonds (below investment grade) makes this sector
particularly appealing, and we currently favor high-yield over investment-grade
securities.

PERSONAL STRATEGY INCOME FUND

This fund's investment goal is to generate the highest total return consistent
with an emphasis on income first and capital appreciation second. The typical
mix of securities for the fund is 40% bonds, 40% stocks, and 20% money market
securities, although these figures can vary by as much as 10 percentage points
above or below these levels.

During the past six months, the fund's stock component fell one percentage point
to 41%, with 48% allocated to bonds (the same as in May) and 11% to cash. Our
equity focus favored value over growth. We made no change to our percentage of
small-cap stocks. We continue to believe that foreign equities offer more
attractive growth potential than U.S. stocks and increased our commitment to
them. Among our fixed income holdings, we maintained our allocation of
investment-grade bonds and high-yield securities. Liquidity has begun to improve
in the high-yield market, and we expect the yields in this sector to narrow the
gap with high-quality bond yields, benefiting high-yield investors.

The fund's returns for the 6- and 12-month periods ended November 30 were
modest. The fund outperformed the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index but trailed the
Combined Index Portfolio, as shown in the table. Rising interest rates limited
returns for investment-grade long-term bonds, while poor liquidity and a huge
supply of new bonds through September hurt the high-yield area.

Our allocation of international and large-cap growth stocks contributed
positively to returns among the equity component, but our positions in small-cap
and value stocks hampered results over the last six months. For both periods,
large-cap growth stocks provided the major share of fund performance.

PERSONAL STRATEGY BALANCED FUND

The objective of this fund is to provide the highest total return consistent
with an emphasis on both income and capital appreciation. The typical asset mix
is 60% stocks, 30% bonds, and 10% cash-with 10-percentage-point variations
permitted for each asset class. This asset allocation structure offers higher
risk but also a higher potential return than the Income Fund.

On November 30, your fund had 58% of its assets in stocks, down slightly from
the end of May; 36% in bonds, three percentage points lower; and the balance in
money market securities. Among equity holdings we lowered our allocation to
growth and increased our value and international stocks. Our current fixed
income bias favors high-yield over investment-grade corporate bonds.

One of the strongest performers among the fund's top holdings was Corning, whose
stock rose in recent months after the company proposed doubling its worldwide
production capacity for liquid crystal displays used in portable computers and
hand-held information devices. Electronics and defense conglomerate GE, another
top position, benefited from the high valuations afforded large-cap growth
shares. Among our other major equity holdings, BP Amoco participated in the
energy stocks rally. The firm proposed a $27 billion buy-out of ARCO that is
currently under review by the Federal Trade Commission. The combined company
would offer economies of scale

in its competition against newly merged Exxon and Mobil. In addition to general
market weakness in the pharmaceutical sector, American Home Products' share
price declined as Pfizer threatened to derail AHP's proposed acquisition of
Warner-Lambert. Sprint, another key holding and the third-largest U.S. long
distance company, soared following the October announcement of its takeover by
MCI WorldCom, the second-largest U.S. provider. The $129 billion deal would rank
as one of the largest in U.S. history.

The fund's six-month return trailed the Combined Index Portfolio and the Merrill
Lynch-Wilshire Capital Market Index, as large-cap value and small-cap holdings
hampered performance. Results for the 12-month period also lagged the
benchmarks. Recent returns were driven by strength in large-cap growth and
international stocks while value and small-cap shares limped along for most of
the period after rallying last spring. Our fixed income holdings were mostly
flat to slightly negative in a rising-interest-rate environment during the last
six months. However, high-yield bonds have shown recent signs of improvement,
and bonds in general helped limit volatility in the third quarter when stocks
delivered negative returns.

As of November 30, the fund's stock allocation was 77% of net assets, two
percentage points lower than six months ago, and 23% was invested in bonds and
cash equivalents. The portfolio's five-largest stock holdings were BP Amoco,
American Home Products, Corning, GE, and Sprint. (For a detailed writeup on
these stocks, please read our report on the Balanced Fund.) In recent months,
the fund benefited from its positions in domestic large-cap growth stocks and
international equities, while our domestic large-cap value and small-cap stocks
had a negative impact on performance and hampered results relative to our
benchmarks, as shown in the table.

Despite the lagging relative performance, the fund delivered respectable returns
in a difficult environment and surpassed the Balanced and Income funds in both
the 6- and 12-month periods, since stocks in general far outpaced fixed income
securities. These results are to be expected given the higher risk associated
with the Growth Fund's larger stock component.

OUTLOOK

Overall, we foresee a lessening of volatility in the financial markets and an
improvement in bond liquidity compared with 1999. Accordingly, we believe bonds
offer an attractive opportunity for investors searching for income and long-term
appreciation. On the equity side of the ledger, we expect corporate profit
growth to remain strong, getting a boost from continuing high demand from
domestic and, increasingly, international consumers. In this environment, we
remain optimistic about the prospects for attractive stock and bond returns over
the long term.
