Dear Shareholders:

April 30th is the fiscal year-end for the Chicago Asset Management Company
Portfolios. The Value/Contrarian Portfolio is the investment vehicle for cli-
ents interested in equity exposure and the Intermediate Bond Portfolio is for
our fixed income clients. In this letter we will review the Portfolios returns
and the investment environment for the fiscal year. We thank you for your con-
tinued commitment to the firm's conservative investment style.

Chicago Asset Management Value/Contrarian Portfolio
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999, this Portfolio continued to ad-
here to the investment philosophy and style of value/contrarian portfolio man-
agement. It is based on the belief that individual securities, just as market
sectors and the market as a whole, go through cycles. These cycles tend to re-
peat themselves. We believe that by maintaining exposure to securities which
are valued on the low end of their cycle, the probability of benefiting when
the cycle for those securities turns is increased and they appreciate a
greater amount than the general market. To do this, we select individual secu-
rities which clearly have been underperforming the general market in the re-
cent past. We emphasize companies which we believe are sound and strong funda-
mentally with an attractive longer term future. If we identify securities
which we believe can both recover from their current temporary difficulties
and continue to prosper on an ongoing basis, then we believe we have the po-
tential to hold securities which can perform better than the general market.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999, the market reflected an environ-
ment which was complex, volatile, and changing. Early in the year, the popular
high growth, high price-to-earnings (P/E) securities which have been dominat-
ing some of the market indices in recent years continued to dominate. This
caused this Portfolio to underperform in the early months of the fiscal year.
During the late summer and early fall 1998, the market showed some tendency to
rotate toward a different emphasis. Not only did the market decline for
awhile, but the types of securities held in this Portfolio seemed to perform
in a superior fashion to those of the market. The volatility continued, and
late in the fiscal year the market rotation moved to very strongly favor the
types of securities held in this Portfolio. During March, and to a much
greater extent during April of 1999, the market favored the more reasonably
valued securities which had not participated in much of the market apprecia-
tion experienced throughout the fiscal year. Other investors withdrew from the
more aggressive, high P/E growth issues. The funds were reinvested into the
value/contrarian type of holdings in this Portfolio. This caused a sharp re-
versal in relative performance with this Portfolio meaningfully outperforming
the popular Standard & Poor's 500 Index return in the latter portion of this
fiscal year ended April 30, 1999.

The results for the full fiscal year, given this combination of conditions,
produced a rate of return that was almost identical to that produced by the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index. For the year ended April 30, 1999, the Portfolio
produced a total return net of expenses of 21.7% in comparison to the Standard
& Poor's 500 Index return of 21.8%. Measured on a trailing six months basis,
this Portfolio's return net of expenses was 25.3% and the Standard & Poor's
Index return was 22.3%. Measured on a trailing three months basis, this Port-
folio produced a total return net of expenses of 14.6% in comparison to the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index return of 4.7%.

When reviewing the performance results for the fiscal year just ended, it is
interesting to note that the reasons for selecting individual securities began
to show meaningful benefit only during the latter portions of the fiscal year.
However, the magnitude of the market rotation was significant to the extent
where it began to dominate the performance for the full year by April 30,
1999. A move so dramatic would seem unusual, except that it appears to be a
reversal of an extreme market condition which had existed over the past sev-
eral quarters. Specifically, the market seemed to have moved to extremes in
terms of overvaluing some of the popular growth securities and undervaluing
some of the temporarily out-of-favor value type securities. This reversal sim-
ply corrects that market distortion and leaves the total market closer to a
more balanced and normal state of valuation.

A portion of our investment strategy is represented by active rebalancing. It
is the process by which portfolio holdings are maintained in the direction of
equal weighting. When individual holdings meaningfully outperform the balance
of this Portfolio, they become oversized. Conversely, securities which have
meaningfully underperformed the balance of this Portfolio become undersized in
terms of total portfolio weighting. Our rebalancing activity simply reacts to
the reality of this price performance differential. We respond by selling por-
tions of the holdings which have meaningfully outperformed in order to reduce
their total portfolio weight to a more normal size. We use the proceeds from
these sales to purchase additional shares of the holdings which have become
undersized within the Portfolio. Over time, we believe it has the potential to
add value by maintaining a more balanced exposure to each holding, and by
placing emphasis on the greater attractiveness of issues which have declined
and hold the most potential for future outperformance. During the current fis-
cal year, the valuation changes in the market occurred over a short and vola-
tile period. This produced an ideal opportunity to rebalance.

In summary, we believe that the market conditions that evolved during this re-
cent fiscal year support the disciplined style of portfolio management which
maintained a portfolio focused heavily on the most undervalued securities.
This approach to

investing placed the Portfolio in a position to benefit as the market rotation
occurred. Although sometimes it seems intuitively difficult to continue to add
to security holdings which have recently underperformed, given the
value/contrarian philosophy, it is intellectually consistent. We believe the
results that are achieved represent a kind of natural response within the mar-
ket to correct distortions and overvaluations within individual sectors. As
these corrections occur, favor seems to move in the direction of the most rea-
sonably valued securities. We believe maintenance of strict discipline of
style is imperative to continue to offer the potential of superior performance
over the long term.

Chicago Asset Management Intermediate Bond Portfolio
The fiscal year ended April 30, 1999, was a time of significant intra-period
changes in interest rate levels. Bond market events and changes in Federal Re-
serve policy were driven by both domestic and global financial considerations.

This Portfolio's fiscal year began and ended with the U.S. economy experienc-
ing a near perfect combination of strong growth coupled with low inflation. In
the interim, major events occurred. By late summer, international issues domi-
nated the American debt markets. The deterioration in the Asian economies and
resulting political instabilities created a financial turmoil which spread to
Russia and Latin America. It even created some degree of uncertainty regarding
the future strength of the U.S. economy. The financial dislocations in the
capital markets led to the collapse of some major hedge funds and illiquidity
in many parts of the bond market. The Federal Reserve assumed its customary
role. With the objectives of stabilizing the financial markets in order to en-
hance economic growth and supplying liquidity, the Fed embarked on a series of
easing moves. For the first time since January 1996, the Fed Funds rate was
reduced. It was cut by 1/4% three times until it reached 4 3/4% on November
17, 1998. Interest rates on Treasury securities achieved their lowest levels
for the year in October. Long-term rates reached a thirty-year low of approxi-
mately 4.7%.

The Federal Reserve's aggressive reduction in short-term interest rates had
the desired effect. The economy continues to expand at a very healthy pace.
Liquidity has dramatically improved in the credit markets. Investor interest
has returned to the corporate, mortgage and agency markets. Interest rates
have experienced a recovery from their thirty-year lows of last October. Even
so, this Portfolio's fiscal year witnessed another period of declining inter-
est rates. For the fiscal year, two-year Treasury rates declined approximately
fifty basis points to the 5.05% level. Longer intermediate term rates, as rep-
resented by ten-year Treasuries, dropped a little over thirty basis points to
close the fiscal year at 5.35%.

The events this past year once again reinforce the importance of constructing
a very well diversified and high quality portfolio. By maintaining these prin-
ciples, it is possible to comfortably traverse any uncertainty or turmoil that
may arise in the bond markets.

This Portfolio remains focused on its two major objectives, safety and income.
Investments are concentrated in U.S. Treasury notes, agencies, mortgages, and
obligations of large U.S. corporations. Corporate debt is utilized to enhance
the long-term return and current income of this Portfolio. Emphasis is on se-
curities with maturities between two and ten years. This reduces the possibil-
ity of significant principal fluctuation while producing a high level of in-
come.

This Portfolio had the following characteristics relative to the Lehman Inter-
mediate Government/Corporate Bond Index as of April 30, 1999:

    The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
  performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. A
     Portfolio's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
                                distributions.
   There are no assurances that a Portfolio will meet its stated objectives.
 The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so
that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
                                original cost.
 A Portfolio's holdings are subject to change because it is actively managed.
   Portfolio changes should not be considered recommendations for action by
                             individual investors.

S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index composed of 400 industrial stocks, 40 fi-
nancial stocks, 40 utility stocks and 20 transportation stocks.

Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged fixed in-
come market value-weighted index that combines the intermediate-term sub index
of the Lehman Government Bond Index and the intermediate-term sub index of the
Lehman Corporate Bond Index.

Lehman Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of all publicly issues,
fixed-rate, nonconvertible investment grade domestic corporate debt. Also in-
cluded are yankee bonds, which are dollar-denominated SEC registered public,
noncovertible debt issued or guaranteed by foreign sovereign governments, mu-
nicipalities, or governmental agencies, or international agencies. In addition
to the aggregate index, sub-indices cover intermediate and long term issues.

Lehman Government Bond Index is an unmanaged treasury bond index including all
public obligations of the U.S. Treasury, excluding flower bonds and foreign-
targeted issues, and the Agency Bond Index (all publicly issued debt of U.S.
government agencies and quasi-federal corporation, and corporate debt guaran-
teed by the U.S. government). In addition to the aggregate index, sub-indices
cover intermediate and long term issues.

    The comparative indices assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a
  Portfolio's returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees were
reflected in the comparative indices' returns, the performance would have been
                                    lower.
      Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

mediate Bond Portfolio (collectively the "Portfolios"), portfolios of UAM
Funds Trust, are diversified, open-end management investment companies. At
April 30, 1999, the UAM Funds were comprised of 44 active portfolios. The in-
formation presented in the financial statements pertains only to the Portfo-
lios. The objective of the Chicago Asset Management Value/Contrarian Portfolio
is to provide capital appreciation by investing primarily in the common stock
of large companies. The objective of the Chicago Asset Management Intermediate
Bond Portfolio is to provide a high level of current income consistent with
moderate interest rate exposure by investing primarily in investment grade
bonds with an average weighted maturity between 3 and 10 years.

  A. Significant Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of
their financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles may re-
quire Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ
from those estimates.
    1. Security Valuation: Investments for which market quotations are read-
  ily available are stated at market value, which is determined using the
  last reported sales price from the exchange where the security is primar-
  ily traded. If no sales are reported, as in the case of some securities
  traded over-the-counter, the market value is determined by using the aver-
  age between the last reported bid and last reported offer prices quoted on
  such day. Fixed income securities are stated on the basis of valuations
  provided by brokers and/or a pricing service which uses information with
  respect to transactions in fixed income securities, quotations from deal-
  ers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relation-
  ships between securities in determining value. Short-term investments that
  have remaining maturities of sixty days or less at time of purchase are
  valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of
  other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available
  is determined in good faith at fair value following procedures approved by
  the Board of Trustees.
    2. Federal Income Taxes: It is each Portfolio's intention to qualify as
  a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue

                                      21

  Code and to distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provi-
  sion for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
    3. Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions involving re-
  purchase agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of
  the underlying securities ("collateral"), the value of which exceeds the
  principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued inter-
  est. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business
  day, the value of the collateral is monitored on a daily basis to deter-
  mine the adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default on the obli-
  gation to repurchase, the Portfolios have the right to liquidate the col-
  lateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the
  event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, real-
  ization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to
  legal proceedings.
    Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
  Commission, the UAM Funds may transfer their daily uninvested cash bal-
  ances into a joint trading account which invests in one or more repurchase
  agreements. This joint repurchase agreement is covered by the same collat-
  eral requirements as discussed above.
    4. Distributions to Shareholders: Each Portfolio will distribute sub-
  stantially all of its net investment income quarterly. Any realized net
  capital gains will be distributed at least annually. All distributions are
  recorded on ex-dividend date.
    The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations
  which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These dif-
  ferences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the
  timing of the recognition of gains or losses on investments and in-kind
  transactions.
    Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distri-
  butions resulted in reclassifications as follows:

    Permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in ending un-
  distributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of calculating
  net investment income (loss) per share in the financial highlights.
    5. Organization Costs: Costs incurred by the Portfolios in connection
  with their organization have been deferred and are being amortized on a

  straight-line basis over a five-year period. Any costs incurred in the or-
  ganization of new funds are expensed as incurred.
    6. Other: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the
  date the trade is executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and
  losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
  date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and
  premiums on securities purchased are amortized using the effective yield
  basis over their respective lives. Most expenses of the UAM Funds can be
  directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses that cannot be di-
  rectly attributed to a portfolio are apportioned among the portfolios of
  the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Custodian fees for the
  Portfolios are shown gross of expense offsets, if any, for custodian bal-
  ance credits.

  B. Investment Advisory Services: Under the terms of an investment advisory
agreement, Chicago Asset Management Company (the "Adviser"), a subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolios at a fee calculated at an annual rate of average
daily net assets for the month, as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

- -------------------------------------------                               ------
<S>                                                                       <C>
Value/Contrarian......................................................... 0.625%
Intermediate Bond........................................................  0.48%
</TABLE>

  Prior to March 22, 1999, the Adviser had voluntarily agreed to waive a por-
tion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order to
keep the Value/Contrarian Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after
the effect of expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 0.95% of average
daily net assets. Effective March 22, 1999, the amount was increased to 1.25%
of average daily net assets.

  Until further notice, the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion
of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order to keep
the Intermediate Bond Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after the
effect of expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 0.80% of average daily
net assets.

  C. Administrative Services: UAM Funds Services, Inc. (the "Administrator"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees administrative, fund
accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds under a Fund Administration Agreement (the "Agree-
ment"). The Administrator has entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement
with Chase Global Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), a corporate affiliate of

                                      23

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Chase Manhattan Bank, under which CGFSC provides certain services includ-
ing administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servic-
ing and transfer agent services.

  Pursuant to the Agreement, the Portfolios paid the Administrator a two part
monthly fee:

  --a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.06% and 0.04% per annum of the av-
    erage daily net assets of the Chicago Asset Management Value/ Contrarian
    and Chicago Asset Management Intermediate Bond Portfolios, respectively,
    which is retained by the Administrator.

  --a sub-administration fee (the "Sub-Administration Fee") which the Admin-
    istrator in turn pays to CGFSC on a monthly basis. Until October 23,
    1998 the sub-administration fee was calculated on the combined aggregate
    net assets of the funds administered by UAM at the following rates:
    0.19% of the first $200 million; plus 0.11% of the next $800 million;
    plus 0.07% of the next $2 billion; plus 0.05% of the combined aggregate
    net assets in excess of $3 billion. The Sub-Administration Fee was allo-
    cated among the portfolios of the UAM Funds on the basis of their rela-
    tive net assets and was subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per
    portfolio, which increased from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a
    portfolio, to $70,000 annually after two years. For portfolios with more
    than one class of shares, the minimum annual fee increased to $90,000
    over the same period.

  Effective October 23, 1998, the Mutual Funds Service Agreement with CGFSC
was revised to exclude dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the revised Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Sub-Administration Fee paid by each Portfolio to the Administrator and in turn
paid to CGFSC is calculated at the annual rate of no more than $52,500 for the
first operational share class; plus 0.039% of their pro rata share of the com-
bined average net assets of the UAM Funds.

  For the year ended April 30, 1999, UAM Funds Services, Inc. earned the fol-
lowing amounts from each Portfolio as Administrator and paid the following to
CGFSC for its services:

contracted to UAM Shareholder Service Center, Inc., an affiliate of UAM. The
portfolios pay dividend disbursing, transfer agent and shareholder servicing
fees to the Administrator who in turn pays them to DST Systems, Inc. and UAM
Shareholder Service Center, Inc., as appropriate. For the year ended April 30,
1999, the CAM Value/Contrarian and CAM Intermediate Bond Portfolios incurred
$4,432 and $4,293, respectively, in shareholder servicing fees with UAM Share-
holder Service Center, Inc. This fee is based on the number of classes of
shares and shareholder accounts.

  Effective April 15, 1999, in exchange for administrative services, the UAM
Funds pays the Administrator an annual base fee, which is retained by the Ad-
ministrator, calculated at the annual rate equal to $14,500 for the first op-
erational share class.

  D. Custodian: The Chase Manhattan Bank is custodian for the Portfolios' as-
sets held in accordance with the custodian agreement.

  E. Distribution Services: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolios. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolios.

  F. Account Services: Through January 1, 1999, the UAM Funds had contracted
with UAM Retirement Plan Services, Inc. (the "Service Provider"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of UAM, to perform certain services for participants in a
self-directed, defined contribution plan, and for whom the Service Provider
provided participant recordkeeping. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement,
the Service Provider was entitled to receive, after the end of each month, a
fee at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average aggregate daily net asset value
of shares of the UAM Funds in the accounts for which they provided services.
The Service Provider had voluntarily agreed to waive its fees in order to keep
the Portfolios' total annual operating expenses, after the effect of expense
offset arrangements, from exceeding 0.95% and 0.80% of average daily net as-
sets for the Chicago Asset Management Value/Contrarian Portfolio and Chicago
Asset Management Intermediate Bond Portfolio, respectively. The agreement was
terminated effective January 1, 1999.

  G. Trustees' Fees: Each Trustee, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended plus reimbursement of expenses incurred
in attending Trustee meetings, which is allocated proportionally among the ac-
tive portfolios of UAM Funds, plus a quarterly retainer of $150 for each ac-
tive portfolio of the UAM Funds.

  Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government securities were $3,871,170
and $4,629,054 respectively, for Chicago Asset Management Intermediate Bond
Portfolio. There were no purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government se-
curities for Chicago Asset Management Value/Contrarian Portfolio.

  I. Line of Credit: The Portfolios, along with certain other portfolios of
UAM Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to par-
ticipate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of capi-
tal shares. Interest is charged to each participating Portfolio based on its
borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In
addition, a commitment fee of 0.08% per annum, payable at the end of each cal-
endar quarter, is accrued by each participating Portfolio based on its average
daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the year ended April 30,
1999, the Chicago Asset Management Value/Contrarian Portfolio and the Chicago
Asset Management Intermediate Bond Portfolio had no borrowings under the
agreement.

  J. Other: At April 30, 1999, the percentage of total shares outstanding held

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Trustees of
UAM Funds Trust and Shareholders of
Chicago Asset Management Value/Contrarian Portfolio and
Chicago Asset Management Intermediate Bond Portfolio

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, includ-
ing 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 the Chicago Asset Management
Value/Contrarian Portfolio and the Chicago Asset Management Intermediate Bond
Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), portfolios of the UAM Funds Trust, at April 30,
1999, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of
their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolios' management; our respon-
sibility 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 per-
form 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 presenta-
tion. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
April 30, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable ba-
sis for the opinion expressed above.
