WARBURG PINCUS TRUST -- INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
SEMIANNUAL ADVISER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                August 15, 1997
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Trust -- International Equity Portfolio (the
'Portfolio') is long-term capital appreciation. The Portfolio pursues its
objective by investing primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity
securities of companies that have their principal business activities and
interests outside the U.S.
 
   For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Portfolio had a gain of 14.98%,
vs. gains of 11.21% for the Morgan Stanley Europe, Australasia and Far East
(EAFE) Index* and 12.53% for the Lipper International Funds Average.** The
Portfolio's respective one-year and since-inception (on June 30, 1995) average
annual total returns through June 30 were 15.02% and 16.44%.
 
   The Portfolio's performance reflects both stock selection and regional
allocation. Strong performers for the Portfolio were its European holdings,
broadly, as virtually all Continental European markets saw impressive gains over
the six months, supported by a backdrop of low inflation, falling interest rates
and optimism regarding progress toward European Monetary Union. We increased the
Portfolio's European exposure selectively over the period, having identified a
number of what we considered to be attractive investment opportunities, and this
higher weighting proved timely. Notably strong showings came from the
Portfolio's German and Spanish stocks, as well as its Nordic holdings
collectively.
 
   Asian-Pacific markets (excluding Japan) had mixed results for the six months,
but overall the Portfolio's weighting had a favorable impact on its returns. The
Portfolio benefited from particularly strong performances from its holdings in
Hong Kong, India and Taiwan, and also from its relatively limited exposure to
the region's laggards (e.g., Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, all of
which suffered double-digit losses).
 
   Japan, the Portfolio's largest Asian-Pacific weighting through the period,
struggled early in the period but recovered strongly to post a solid gain for
the six months, fueled by renewed optimism on the country's economic prospects.
Investors also reacted favorably to the government's deregulatory efforts and
developments at the corporate level (specifically, signs of a growing emphasis
on shareholder value among Japanese companies). The Portfolio benefited from the
market's recovery and from good stock selection, which allowed us to outperform
comparable Japanese market indexes.
 
   Another area of strength for the Portfolio was Latin America. Virtually all
Latin American stock markets performed strongly during the period, rallying on
optimism toward the region's continued progress on the economic, fiscal and
political fronts. The Portfolio saw strong performances from all of its Latin
American stocks, particularly its Brazilian and Argentine issues, which
represented its largest weightings in the region.

WARBURG PINCUS TRUST -- SMALL COMPANY GROWTH PORTFOLIO
SEMIANNUAL ADVISER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                August 15, 1997
 
   The objective of Warburg Pincus Trust -- Small Company Growth Portfolio (the
'Portfolio') is capital growth. The Portfolio pursues its objective by investing
in equity securities of small domestic companies.
 
   For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Portfolio had a gain of 2.67%,
vs. gains of 5.23% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index* and 6.04% for the Lipper
Small Cap Funds Index.** The Portfolio's respective one-year and since-inception
(on June 30, 1995) average annual total returns through June 30 were 2.38% and
20.85%.
 
   The Portfolio's underperformance vs. its benchmarks reflects weakness in
specific stocks, most of which were concentrated in the technology area. Though
a number of our holdings here had less-than-stellar results, we remain committed
to them and to the sector as a whole, and used price weakness during the period
to add selectively to our positions.
 
   The Portfolio also saw disappointing returns from several of its health-care
stocks. Here, too, we used price weakness to increase our stake in specific
issues, though we remained very cautious in terms of stock selection, given the
increasingly difficult pricing environment for health-care companies,
particularly smaller ones.
 
   Stocks that performed well for the Portfolio included its energy, financial,
telecommunications and consumer-oriented issues. We maintained or increased our
weightings in each of these areas over the six months, as we were able to
identify stocks that represented what we considered to be good long-term
opportunity.
 
   Our outlook on the prospects for small-cap stocks remains positive. Investor
sentiment toward the group, which had long been poor, has improved, reflected in
increasing cash flows into small-company and aggressive-growth mutual funds;
valuations remain compelling; and the earnings outlook for small companies is
favorable. We believe that small-cap stocks also stand to benefit considerably,
especially over the longer term, from a reduction in the capital-gains tax. Set
within this environment, we will continue to strive to identify those issues
with the best prospects for long-term growth.

WARBURG PINCUS TRUST -- POST-VENTURE CAPITAL PORTFOLIO
SEMIANNUAL ADVISER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:                                                August 15, 1997
 
   The investment objective of Warburg Pincus Trust -- Post-Venture Capital
Portfolio (the 'Portfolio') is long-term growth of capital. The Portfolio
pursues its objective by investing primarily in equity securities of companies
considered to be in their post-venture-capital stage of development.
 
   For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Portfolio had a total return of
3.38%, vs. a 5.23% return for the Russell 2000 Growth Index* and a 15.40% return
for the Lipper Growth Funds Index.** The Portfolio's non-annualized total return
since its inception (on September 30, 1996) was 0.90%.
 
   The reporting period proved to be a difficult one for the Portfolio, and,
more broadly, for the types of stocks in which the Portfolio invests (i.e.,
smaller-cap and aggressive-growth issues). Volatility in the technology area had
a particularly dramatic impact on the Portfolio's performance. These holdings
were subject to a sharp sell-off early in the period, as investors, in reaction
to some earnings disappointments among technology's more-visible names, fled to
the perceived safety of large-cap stocks with relatively stable earnings growth.
Though the Portfolio's technology holdings staged a strong rally in the latter
part of the period (and we are encouraged by the continued strength these stocks
have shown since the end of June), their collective performance weighed on its
return for the six months. This shorter-term volatility notwithstanding, we
remain committed to technology as a long-term investment theme and expect that
specific technology stocks will figure prominently in the Portfolio going
forward.
 
   Areas that contributed positively to the Portfolio's performance over the six
months included its financial-services holdings, which collectively benefited
from a favorable interest-rate environment and growing demand for financial
products and services. The Portfolio also saw strong showings from some of its
largest positions within the health-care sector, most notably Oxford Health
Plans, a well-managed, rapidly growing HMO that we believe is well-positioned to
continue to take advantage of increasing demand for managed care.
 
   Our outlook for the collective performance on the stocks of post-venture
companies (which we define as those that have received venture-capital financing
either during the early stages of their existence or the early stages of the
development of a new product or service, or as part of a restructuring or
recapitalization) remains positive. We note a recent study*** that concluded
that such companies tend to be concentrated in high-growth industries (e.g.,
software, biotechnology, semiconductors & electronics, and communications), and
that they generate breakthrough technologies and products. The study also stated
that these companies enjoy rapid earnings growth relative to companies that
lacked such backing.

   We believe that a carefully chosen portfolio of stocks of venture-backed
companies stands to benefit investors over time, and we will continue to devote
our efforts to identifying those with the best long-term prospects. We would
caution investors, however, that investing in these securities entails potential
risks (e.g., that of heightened volatility) as well as rewards. Because of the
nature of the Portfolio's holdings and certain strategies it may use, an
investment in the Portfolio should be considered only for the aggressive portion
of an investor's assets and may not be appropriate for all investors.

WARBURG PINCUS TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   Warburg Pincus Trust (the 'Trust') is an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
currently offers four investment funds (the 'Portfolios'): International Equity
Portfolio is a diversified investment fund that seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity
securities companies that have their principal business activities and interests
outside the U.S.; Small Company Growth Portfolio is a non-diversified investment
fund that seeks capital growth by investing in equity securities of small-sized
domestic companies and Post-Venture Capital Portfolio is a diversified
investment fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in
equity securities of companies considered to be in their post-venture-capital
stage of development. Shares of a Portfolio are not available directly to
individual investors but may be offered only to certain (a) life insurance
companies for allocation to certain of their separate accounts established for
the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance
contracts and (b) tax-qualified pension and retirement plans ('Plans'),
including participant-directed Plans which elect to make a Portfolio an
investment option for Plan participants. The Emerging Markets Portfolio had not
commenced investment operations as of June 30, 1997.
 
   The net asset value of each Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Each Portfolio's investments are
valued at market value, which is generally determined using the last reported
sales price. If no sales are reported, investments are generally valued at the
last reported mean price. In the absence of market quotations, investments are
generally valued at fair value as determined by or under the direction of the
Trust's governing Board. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less
are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
   The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current
prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate
at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in
the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on
the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of
operations for the current period. The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of
gains and losses on investments in equity securities which are due to changes in
the foreign exchange rate from that which are due to changes in market prices of
equity securities. The Portfolios isolate that portion of gains and losses on
investments in debt securities which are due to changes in the foreign exchange
rate from that which are due to changes in market prices of debt securities.
 
   Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D)
The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
 
   Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized
capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. However, to the extent
that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryover,
such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles.
 
   For U.S. federal income tax purposes, realized losses incurred after October
31, 1996, within the fiscal year, are deemed to arise on the first business day
of the following fiscal year. The International Equity Portfolio incurred and
elected to defer such losses of $89,740.
 
   No provision is made for federal income taxes as it is the Trust's intention
to have each Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment
applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and
make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to
relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
 
   Costs incurred by the Portfolios in connection with their organization have
been deferred and are being amortized over a period of five years from the date
each Portfolio commenced its operations. Costs incurred by the Portfolios in
connection with the offering of their shares have been deferred and are being
amortized over a one year period from the date each Portfolio commenced its
operations.
 
   The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreement transactions. Under the
terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Portfolio acquires an underlying
security subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase. The value of the
underlying security collateral will be maintained at an amount at least equal to
the total amount of the purchase obligation, including interest. The collateral
is in the Portfolio's possession.
 
   The Trust, together with other Warburg-advised funds (collectively the
'Warburg Funds'), has established committed and uncommitted line of credit
facilities with certain banks for temporary or emergency purposes primarily
relating to fund share redemptions and funding payments of dividend or capital
gain distributions. Under the terms of the committed line of credit, the Warburg
Funds with access to the facility pay a commitment fee at a rate of .10% per
annum on the amount of the line of credit. In addition, under the terms of both
the committed and uncommitted facilities, the Warburg Funds will pay interest on
borrowings at the bank's base rate plus .55%. Aggregate borrowings for each fund
under these credit facilities may not exceed the lower of (a) the maximum amount
permitted by such fund's investment policies and restrictions or (b)
thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of such fund's total assets. At

1997 there were no outstanding balances under these line of credit facilities
for any of the Portfolios.
 
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
THE PORTFOLIOS HAVE AN ARRANGEMENT WITH THEIR TRANSFER AGENT WHEREBY INTEREST
EARNED ON UNINVESTED CASH BALANCES WAS USED TO OFFSET A PORTION OF THE TRANSFER
AGENT EXPENSE. FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1997, THE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY
PORTFOLIO, THE SMALL COMPANY GROWTH PORTFOLIO AND THE POST-VENTURE CAPITAL
PORTFOLIO RECEIVED CREDITS OR REIMBURSEMENTS OF $2,010, $2,411 AND $661,
RESPECTIVELY UNDER THIS ARRANGEMENT.
 
2. INVESTMENT ADVISER, CO-ADMINISTRATORS AND DISTRIBUTOR
 
   Warburg, Pincus Counsellors, Inc. ('Warburg'), which is indirectly controlled
by Warburg, Pincus & Co., serves as each Portfolio's investment adviser. For its
investment advisory services, the International Equity Portfolio, the Small
Company Growth Portfolio and the Post-Venture Capital Portfolio pay Warburg a
fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.00%, .90% and 1.25%, respectively, of each
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 1997,

   Abbott Capital Management, L.P. ('Abbott') serves as sub-investment adviser
for the Post-Venture Capital Portfolio's assets invested in U.S. or foreign
private limited partnerships or other investment funds ('Private Fund
Investments'). From its investment advisory fee, Warburg pays Abbott a fee of
 .55% per annum of the value of Private Fund Investments as of the end of each
calendar quarter. No compensation is paid by the Post-Venture Capital Portfolio
to Abbott for its sub-investment advisory services. Effective January 17, 1997,
the Sub-Advisory Agreement was amended. Under the amended Agreement, Warburg
pays Abbott a quarterly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. No compensation is paid by the Post-Venture Capital Fund to
Abbott for its sub-investment advisory services.
 
   Counsellors Funds Service, Inc. ('CFSI'), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Warburg, and PFPC Inc. ('PFPC'), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PNC
Bank Corp. ('PNC'), serve as each Portfolio's co-administrators. For its

4. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
   The Portfolios may enter into forward currency contracts for the purchase or
sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may
arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated
movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The
Portfolios will enter into forward contracts primarily for hedging purposes. The
forward currency contracts are adjusted daily by the daily exchange rate of the
underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement
purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date.
 
   At June 30, 1997, the International Equity Portfolio had the following open
forward currency contracts:

5. SWAP TRANSACTIONS
 
   The International Equity Portfolio has entered into a total return swap
agreement (which represents approximately 1.00% of its net assets at June 30,
1997) dated March 21, 1997, where the Portfolio receives a quarterly payment
representing the total return (defined as market appreciation and dividend
income) on a basket of Korean common stocks ('Common Stocks'). In return, the
Portfolio pays quarterly the Libor rate (London Interbank Offered Rate), plus
1.97% per annum (7.732% on June 30, 1997) on the market value of the Common
Stocks ('Notional Amount') which is currently $4,000,000. The Notional Amount is
marked-to-market on each quarterly reset date. In the event that the Common
Stocks decline in value, the Portfolio will be required to pay quarterly the
amount of any depreciation in value from the Notional Amount. The swap agreement
will terminate on April 3, 2000.
 
   During the term of the swap transaction, changes in the value of the Common
Stocks as compared to the Notional Amount are recognized as unrealized gain or
loss. Dividend income for the Common Stocks is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest expense is accrued daily. At June 30, 1997, the Portfolio has recorded
unrealized gains of $213,677 and interest payable of $77,317 on the swap
transaction.
