LETTER TO CONTRACT OWNERS
Dear Contract Owners:
We are pleased to present this Semi-Annual Report on behalf of the Equi-
Select Series Trust (the "Trust").
The following report provides information about the performance and financial
position of the portfolios in the Trust. Please note that individual
portfolio returns reflect expenses associated with the portfolio, such as
advisory, custodian, transfer agent, and legal fees. Benchmark returns
(except the IBC Average and Lipper Balanced Fund Index) do not include these
expenses. In general, the inclusion of a portfolio's expenses reduces its
performance relative to its benchmark index.
The Trust continued to grow at a rapid pace. During the first half of 1997,
net assets increased by $228 million to end the period at $522 million. This
growth contributes to investment performance by reducing the impact of
operating expenses. As net assets increase, the Trust obtains economies of
scale on some of its operating expenses. All of the Trust's equity
portfolios have experienced significant reductions in their expense ratios
during 1997.
Equitable Investment Services, Inc. ("EISI") also ensures that expense levels
are reasonable in each of the fixed income portfolios. During the first half
of the year, EISI reimbursed some of the operating expenses of the Money
Market, Mortgage-Backed Securities, International Fixed Income and Advantage
Portfolios. These reimbursements improved the overall investment performance
of these portfolios.
We are committed to providing quality products and service to contract
owners, and we look forward to helping you meet your financial objectives.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Paul R. Schlaack
President and Chief Executive Officer

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to achieve maximum current
income, consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of
liquidity. During the first six months of 1997, the Portfolio had a total
return of 2.43%. The IBC Average of All Taxable Money Market Funds was 2.46%
over the same period.
Money market rates exhibited considerable volatility during the first two
quarters of the year. Although some of this volatility is attributed to
actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), changing market
expectations also had a strong influence on rates.
Economic growth accelerated during the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first
quarter of 1997. On March 25, the Fed raised the Federal Funds rate by 25
basis points (.25%) because they were concerned about inflationary pressures.
Investors had anticipated this action, and short-term interest rates had
risen throughout the first quarter. The 3-month Treasury bill yield started
the year at 5.15%, and finished the first quarter at 5.35%.
During the second quarter, economic data indicated that the economy was
slowing down. Although there was no change in the Federal Funds rate, short-
term interest rates declined from late-April through the end of the quarter.
At the end of the second quarter, the yield on the 3-month Treasury bill was
5.15%.
Throughout the six-month period, the Portfolio invested primarily in high
quality ("first tier") commercial paper. The Portfolio Manager responded to
changes in the interest rate environment by reducing or extending the average
maturity of the Portfolio.
A fairly conservative stance was maintained throughout the first half of the
year. The average maturity of the Portfolio was between 60 and 70 days
during January and February. In March, the average maturity was reduced to
protect the Portfolio from the effects of rising interest rates. This
strategy was followed until the end of the second quarter. As of June 30,
1997, the Portfolio had an average maturity of approximately 45 days.
At the end of the second quarter, the Portfolio Manager started to extend the
average maturity of the Portfolio. This shift will position the Portfolio
for an environment of stable or declining interest rates. This strategy may
be modified if there are any significant changes in the economic outlook.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The Mortgage-Backed Securities Portfolio ("the Portfolio") seeks to obtain a
high current return, consistent with safety of principal. During the first
six months of the year, the Portfolio had a total return of 2.88%. The
Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index had a total return of 3.92%
over the same period.
Bond market yields increased early in the year because of surprisingly robust
economic growth during the first quarter, upward pressure on wages, and the
threat of higher inflation. All of this culminated in a 25 basis point
(.25%) increase in the Federal Funds rate on March 25, with a continuing fear
that the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") would raise rates two more times
before the end of the summer.
Against this backdrop, bond yields climbed from 6.64% at the beginning of the
year to a high of 7.17% on April 11. At the end of the first quarter, the
Portfolio Manager positioned the Portfolio for a rising interest rate
environment by reducing its effective maturity.
The interest rate environment changed significantly during the second
quarter. The economy appeared to slow down, and inflationary pressures
subsided. The Fed did not increase rates, and bond rates fell.
During the first half of the year, the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark
index for two reasons. First, the Portfolio was positioned conservatively
during the second quarter of the year. As bond rates declined, the Portfolio
generated weaker returns because it had a shorter effective maturity than the
benchmark index.
Second, approximately 30% of the Portfolio, on average, was invested in non-
mortgage-related securities, mainly U.S. Treasury securities. These
investments are held to ensure compliance with portfolio diversification
requirements. During the first six months of the year, mortgage-backed
securities produced higher returns than other investment-grade fixed income
securities. The benchmark index produced higher returns because it only
contains mortgage-backed securities.
At the end of the period, the Portfolio Manager extended the effective
maturity of the Portfolio. This move will position the Portfolio for a flat
or declining interest rate environment during the second half of the year.
This positioning may be adjusted, however, if economic conditions change.

INTERNATIONAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The International Fixed Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to provide a
high total return. During the first six months of 1997, the Portfolio had a
total return of -0.33%. The J. P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index (the
"benchmark index") had a total return of -1.09% over the same period.
The Portfolio outperformed the benchmark index by 76 basis points (0.76%).
Most of this excess performance is attributable to an overweight U.S. dollar
currency position relative to the benchmark index. The U.S. dollar
strengthened against the core European currencies, particularly at the
beginning of the year. The Portfolio's U.S. dollar currency exposure has
subsequently been brought into alignment with the benchmark index.
Overall exposure to the core European currencies was underweighted relative
to the benchmark index. However, exposure to the British pound and the high
yielding European currencies was kept close to the index. This was
beneficial, as these currencies strengthened against the core European
currencies.
Asset allocation decisions also made a small contribution to relative
performance. Portfolio performance benefited from an overweight position in
the United Kingdom and an underweight position in Japan.
Bond markets in the United Kingdom had strong performance during the first
half of the year. Returns were also strong in the high yielding markets of
Italy and Spain.
Performance of the Japanese bond market was disappointing. Nominal yields
were very low, and higher interest rates were expected because of gradual
economic recovery.
Duration strategy had a negative impact on relative performance. During the
first quarter, the Portfolio's average duration was shorter than the
benchmark index for defensive reasons. The Portfolio Manager believed that
bond markets were vulnerable, after their strong performance in 1995 and
1996.
Bond markets continued to perform well because of slow economic growth, low
inflation, and high levels of real yield. As the bond markets rallied, the
Portfolio's shorter duration caused it to trail the benchmark index. The
Portfolio's duration was subsequently adjusted to be longer than the
benchmark index.

OTC PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The primary objective of the OTC Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is to seek to
obtain long-term growth of capital. During the first six months of 1997, the
Portfolio had a total return of 8.56%. The Russell 2000 Index had a total
return of 10.20% over the same period.
The Portfolio had weak performance during the first quarter, but it rebounded
sharply during the second quarter of the year. Performance during the second
quarter was driven by a strong recovery in our technology and healthcare
holdings.
The Portfolio Manager increased exposure to the technology sector after
prices dropped in the first quarter of the year. Most technology companies
performed well during the second quarter, including Cable Design Technologies
Corp., Synopsis Inc., Gemstar International Group Ltd., Oracle Systems Corp.,
Edify Corp., Microsoft Corp., and Electronic Arts Inc.
Healthcare information stocks were very strong, including HCIA Inc.,
Transition Systems Inc., HPR Inc., Cerner Corp., and HBO & Co. Drug
distribution companies like Rite Aid Corp. and Smith's Food & Drug Centers
Inc. also had solid performance. In the nursing home industry, Mariner
Health Group Inc. had exceptionally strong performance.
Franklin Resources Inc. had a strong second quarter. It is the Portfolio's
largest position in the financial sector. Semiconductors performed well, as
did recently purchased wireless holdings (Aerial Communications Inc. and
United States Cellular Corp.).
Despite the overall strong performance, a number of technology issues did
detract from performance. Ascend Communications Inc. fell 24%. Retailing
companies were also a drag on performance. Gymboree Corp., Viking Office
Products Inc. and Ann Taylor Stores Corp. all had negative returns. Two
other disappointing holdings were Uromed Corp. and Spectrum Holobyte Inc.
At the end of the period, exposure to the technology sector was reduced.
Exposure to the business services and financial sectors was increased.

RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The Research Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital
and future income. During the first six months of 1997, the Portfolio had a
total return of 12.78%. The Standard & Poors 500 Index (the "benchmark
index") had a total return of 20.61% over the same period.
The Portfolio's underperformance can be attributed to four sectors: energy,
health care, retailing, and transportation. Although the Portfolio's
positions in these sectors performed well during the period, they were unable
to keep pace with the equivalent sectors in the benchmark index.
During the past six months, the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark index in
the basic materials and utilities & communications sectors. Several
companies in the chemicals industry produced strong returns, including E.I.
DuPont De Nemours & Company, Praxair Inc., and Air Products & Chemicals Inc.
These companies have achieved strong stock performance through focused cost
savings efforts and the introduction of higher-margin products and services
which complement their existing product lines.
During the six-month period, the Portfolio Manager increased exposure to the
financial services sector. Slow economic growth and low inflation allowed
select banks and insurance companies to flourish during the first half of
1997.
Exposure to the technology sector was also increased during the period.
Several stocks in this sector made positive contributions to performance,
including Microsoft Corp., Compuware Corp., Compaq Computer Corp., and Lucent
Technologies Inc. These companies have developed strong competitive
positions in their industries, and this has translated into successful stock
performance. The earnings outlook for many technology companies remains
strong.
The Portfolio remains underweighted in energy, autos & housing, and utilities
& communications. The earnings outlook remains bleak for many of the
companies in these sectors. Exposure to the leisure and transportation
sectors was also reduced because of an uncertain profit picture.

TOTAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The Total Return Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks above-average income
(compared to a portfolio entirely invested in equity securities) consistent
with the prudent employment of capital. During the first six months of 1997,
the Portfolio had a total return of 11.09%. The Lipper Balanced Fund Index
had a total return of 11.15% over the same period.
In selecting stocks for the Portfolio, the Portfolio Manager searches for
companies that are expected to have stable earnings growth. He seeks to pay
a price for those securities that is low relative to the rest of the market.
During the period, the Portfolio Manager believed that stocks in the
financial services and industrial goods & services sectors had these
characteristics. Both of these sectors had strong performance.
The performance of aerospace and defense stocks has been disappointing, in
part because the market is beginning to fear the industry is in for a period
of slow growth. The Portfolio Manager, however, continues to believe these
companies can continue to produce solid earnings over the long term.
Another disappointment came in the utility sector. The pace of deregulation
continues to pick up, bringing uncertainty and placing lower values on the
sector.
The Portfolio continues to be underweighted in the technology and the
consumer nondurable goods sectors. While there are many fine companies in
both of these sectors, the Portfolio Manager doesn't think their valuations
have been compelling in recent months.
The Portfolio's asset allocation remains conservative. At the end of June,
57% of the portfolio was invested in stocks, preferred stocks, and convertible
bonds. Bonds represented 33% of the Portfolio, with two-thirds in the
corporate sector and one-third in U.S. Treasury securities. Over the six-
month period, the average duration of the bond component was approximately
5.4 years.
The Portfolio Manager has maintained a conservative equity posture because,
in his view, equity securities are not cheap by historical standards. Given
where equity valuations are today, he feels comfortable with the current
composition of the Portfolio. However, if the stock market experiences a
correction, he would be looking to buy additional stocks.

ADVANTAGE PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The Advantage Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks current income with a very
low degree of share-price fluctuation. During the first six months of 1997,
the Portfolio had a total return of 2.90%. The Salomon Brothers 1-Year
Treasury Index (the "benchmark index") had a total return of 2.99% over the
same period.
On March 25, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") raised the Federal Funds
rate by .25%. This move indicated that they were concerned about possible
inflationary pressures. Financial markets anticipated this action, and
investors prepared for at least two more rate increases by the Fed. Bond
rates rose throughout the first quarter, and this had a negative impact on
Portfolio returns. (As bond rates increase, bond prices decrease.)
During the second quarter, economic data indicated that the economy was
slowing down, and inflation did not appear to be a threat. This information
has allowed the Fed to remain on the sidelines. Bond rates fell during the
second quarter, and this produced higher returns for the Portfolio.
The Portfolio Manager took a conservative stance during the first quarter of
the year. He decreased the duration and increased the credit quality of the
portfolio. In addition, floating rate notes were purchased as a hedge
against increasing interest rates.
The Portfolio maintained this conservative stance through the end of April.
This positioning was beneficial for most of the month, as rates increased.
However, rates dropped sharply during the final days of April. During those
few days, Portfolio returns trailed the returns of the benchmark index by a
significant margin.
Since May, the Portfolio Manager has positioned the Portfolio for a flat or
declining interest rate environment. The duration of the Portfolio has been
extended. (Currently, the duration of the Portfolio is slightly longer than
the benchmark index.) In addition, credit exposure has been extended to the
Portfolio's allowable limits. If interest rates remain stable during the
second half of the year, the Portfolio should produce strong returns relative
to the benchmark index.

VALUE + GROWTH PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The objective of the Value + Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is capital
appreciation. During the first six months of 1997, the Portfolio had a total
return of 15.31%. The Standard & Poors 500 Index had a total return of
20.61% over the same period.
The financial services, technology, and health care sectors are important
components of the Portfolio. Each of these areas made positive contributions
to performance during the six-month period.
In the financial services sector, banks and investment management firms
generated strong returns. Exposure to this sector was increased during the
second quarter, as interest rates stabilized and inflation remained low.
In the health care sector, HMOs, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and
medical service firms produced the strongest returns. The Portfolio Manager
believes that HMOs and pharmaceutical companies will benefit from the aging
of the U.S. population and the need to contain health care costs.
Although there was a market correction during the period, the technology
sector still contributed positively to performance. The following industries
provided the strongest returns: computer hardware and components,
telecommunications equipment and services, and consumer technology. The
Portfolio Manager believes that the growth rate in the technology sector is
still healthy. He sees growth potential in the global wireless (cellular
phone) business, and he believes that U.S. technology firms will benefit from
this trend.
Intel Corp. is one of the largest holdings in the Portfolio. Intel announced
disappointing second quarter revenues, but the Portfolio Manager believes the
company still has strong growth potential. New technologies like MMX and the
Pentium II should generate higher volume in the second half of 1997 and into
1998 as they are adopted by businesses.
Despite the positive overall contribution of the technology sector, several
individual investments detracted from performance. Some banks and
pharmaceutical companies also produced weak returns. Despite these
disappointments, the Portfolio Manager remains committed to the large-scale
trends that provide a long-term framework for the Portfolio.

GROWTH & INCOME PORTFOLIO
JUNE 30, 1997
The Growth & Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks long-term total return.
During the first six months of 1997, the Portfolio had a total return of
9.21%. The Standard & Poors 500 Index (the "benchmark index") had a total
return of 20.61% over the same period.
The underperformance of the Portfolio can be attributed to both asset
allocation decisions and the performance of individual securities.
The Portfolio contains a number of convertible bonds and preferred stocks.
The Portfolio Manager views these holdings, as well as the Portfolio's short
positions, as risk management tools. They reduce the volatility of the
Portfolio and protect against a market downturn. Although these holdings had
positive overall performance during the second quarter, they did not perform
as well as the stocks in the benchmark index.
A number of individual holdings had a negative impact on performance during
the period. This included not only equity securities, but also some of the
Portfolio's convertible bonds and short positions. The companies were
located in a number of different industries, including transportation,
telecommunications equipment and services, medical services, business
services, precious metals, environmental services, and manufacturing.
Volatility in the energy services sector also hurt performance early in the
year. The Portfolio had an overweighted position in this sector, and
performance suffered when oil prices fell. These holdings, however, ended
the second quarter with strong performances.
The transportation, retail and financial services sectors made a positive
contribution to performance during the period. Financial service companies
benefited from the low inflation and stable interest rates which prevailed
during the first half of the year.
The Portfolio Manager maintains his long-term strategy of investing in stocks
that he believes have a catalyst for growth, selling stocks if they fail to
meet his fundamental performance standards, and using convertible bonds and
preferred stocks to protect capital in the event of a market downturn.

EQUI-SELECT SERIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Equi-Select Series Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Trust is managed by Equitable Investment Services, Inc. ("EISI")
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equitable of Iowa Companies ("Equitable
of Iowa"). The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on May
11, 1994, and offers nine portfolios, each having differing investment
objectives and policies: Money Market Portfolio, Mortgage-Backed Securities
Portfolio, International Fixed Income Portfolio, OTC Portfolio, Research
Portfolio, Total Return Portfolio, Advantage Portfolio, Value + Growth
Portfolio and Growth & Income Portfolio (each "Portfolio" or, collectively,
"Portfolios"). On September 15, 1994, Equitable Life Insurance Company of
Iowa made the initial purchase of shares of beneficial interest in the amount
of 10,000 shares for the Money Market Portfolio and 1,000 shares for each of
the other Portfolios other than the Value + Growth Portfolio and the Growth &
Income Portfolio. On March 28, 1996, Equitable Life Insurance Company of
Iowa made the initial purchase of shares of beneficial interest in the amount
of 1,000 shares for the Value + Growth Portfolio and 1,000 shares for the
Growth & Income Portfolio. The shares of the Trust are sold to certain life
insurance companies' separate accounts to fund the benefits under variable
annuity and variable life contracts issued by such life insurance companies,
including Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa and Golden American Life
Insurance Company. All Portfolios (except the Value + Growth and the Growth
& Income Portfolios) began investment operations on October 4, 1994 and the
Value + Growth and the Growth & Income Portfolios began investment operations
on April 1, 1996.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.
ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles may require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities at the date of these financial statements and the reported
amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - For all Portfolios except the Money Market
Portfolio, portfolio securities traded on a national securities exchange or
quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last reported
sale price on the principal exchange or reported by NASDAQ or, if there is no
reported sale, and in the case of over-the-counter securities not included on
NASDAQ, at a bid price. Debt securities, including zero-coupon securities,
and certain foreign securities are valued by a pricing service. Securities
for which current market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, or by an individual
acting under the direction of the Trustees. Prices for securities primarily
traded in foreign markets are expressed in the local currency's value and are
translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange. Short-term
securities, including all securities in the Money Market Portfolio and debt
securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at their
amortized cost, which approximates market value.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - In connection with transactions in repurchase
agreements, the Trust's custodian takes possession of the underlying
collateral securities, the value of which is at least equal to the principal
amount, including interest, of the repurchase agreement. To the extent that
the term of any repurchase agreement exceeds one business day, the value of
the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of
the collateral. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the
Trust has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in
satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of
default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS - Investment security transactions are recorded on a
trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are
determined on the basis of identified cost.
INVESTMENT INCOME - Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed are recorded as income when the Trust identifies the
dividend. Interest income, which includes accretion of original discount, is
accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes
withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - The records of the Trust are maintained in
U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at a
current rate of exchange of such currency to determine the value of
investments, other assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities
and income and expenses are converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on
the respective dates of such transactions.
A Portfolio may realize currency gains or losses between the trade and
settlement dates on security transactions. To minimize such currency gains
or losses, the Portfolio may enter into a foreign currency exchange contract
for the purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars, of an amount of
the foreign currency required to settle the security transaction.
The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
commitments held by a Portfolio on each day and the resulting net unrealized
appreciation, depreciation and related net receivable or payable amounts are
determined by using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation
service.
Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and
the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the
U.S. dollar amount actually received.
FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS - A forward foreign currency contract ("Forward")
is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price
on a future date. The market value of the Forward fluctuates with changes in
currency exchange rates. The Forward is marked-to-market daily and the
change in the market value is recorded by a Portfolio as an unrealized gain
or loss. When the Forward is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain
or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened
and the value at the time it was closed. The Portfolio could be exposed to
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the
value of the currency changes unfavorably. The Portfolio may enter into
Forwards in connection with planned purchases and sales of securities, to
hedge specific receivables or payables against changes in future exchange
rates or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated
in a foreign currency.
CURRENCY CALL AND PUT OPTIONS - A call option written by a Portfolio
obligates the Portfolio to sell specified currency to the option holder at a
specified price at any time before the expiration date. A put option written
by a Portfolio obligates the Portfolio to purchase specified currency from
the option holder at a specified price at any time before the expiration
date. These transactions involve a risk that a Portfolio may, upon exercise
of the option, be required to sell currency at a price that is less than its
market value or be required to purchase currency at a price that exceeds its
market value. A Portfolio may also realize gains or losses by entering into
closing purchase transactions identical to call or put options that have been
written by the Portfolio in order to terminate its obligation under a call or
put option. In determining the amount of gain or loss realized, the option
premium paid and related transactions costs are added to the exercise price.
DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS - A Portfolio may enter into dollar roll
transactions, in which a Portfolio sells securities for delivery in the
current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially
similar (same type, same or similar interest rate and maturity) securities on
a specified future date. During the roll period the Portfolio forgoes
principal and interest paid on the securities. The Portfolios account for
such dollar rolls as financing transactions, and are compensated by the
interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and by the lower
repurchase price at the future date. To the extent that a Portfolio has
commitments under dollar roll transactions, liquid, high grade debt
securities are segregated in an amount equivalent to these obligations.
There were no dollar roll commitments outstanding at June 30, 1997.
EXPENSES - Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to that
Portfolio. Expenses not directly attributable to a Portfolio are allocated
among the affected Portfolios. Certain costs incurred in connection with the
organization of the Trust and each Portfolio have been deferred and are being
amortized on a straight line basis over a five year period.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Each of the Portfolios (except the Money
Market Portfolio) declares and distributes dividends from net investment
income and distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, at least
annually. The Money Market Portfolio declares dividends daily and distributes
monthly. All distributions are paid in shares of the relevant Portfolio at
net asset value. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to
differing treatments for market discount, foreign currency transactions,
losses deferred due to wash sales, "post October 31 losses" and excise tax
regulations. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for
federal tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to qualify each year as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986. By so qualifying, the Portfolios will not be subject to federal
income taxes to the extent that they distribute all of their taxable income,
including realized capital gains, for the fiscal year. In addition, by
distributing substantially all of their net investment income, capital gains
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
and certain other amounts during the calendar year, the Portfolios will not
be subject to a federal excise tax.
NOTE 3 - AGREEMENTS AND FEES
The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement")
with Equitable Investment Services, Inc. ("EISI"), under which EISI manages
the business and affairs of the Portfolios and the Trust. Under the
Agreement, each Portfolio pays EISI a monthly fee at the annual rate based on
the average daily net assets of each Portfolio as follows:
