 BRINSON GLOBAL SECURITIES FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Brinson Global Securities Fund is diversified across the equity and fixed
income markets of the U.S. and a broad range of other countries. The Fund is
actively managed within an asset allocation framework, involving value-based
market, currency and individual security selection. Our senior asset
allocation, equity and fixed income professionals form the investment team for
the Fund, supported by a globally integrated market analysis system. Security
selection within each market is based on the fundamental research of our
analytical teams in our offices worldwide.
 
Since its performance inception on April 30, 1995, the Brinson Global
Securities Fund has provided an annualized return of 14.60%, compared to the
15.87% return of its benchmark, the GSMI Relationship Fund Index. The Fund
performance over this period was achieved with an annualized volatility of
7.75%, well below the benchmark volatility of 9.92%. The Fund's 1998 return of
9.59% fell short of the benchmark return of 16.45%. Security selection in the
U.S. equity and bond markets had a negative impact on added value, while
security selection in Japanese equities contributed positively. The underweight
in developed equity markets and the corresponding bond overweight detracted
substantially, as riskier assets, with the exception of the emerging markets
tended to perform better during the year.
 
The bond and equity markets of European nations participating in the new single
currency performed well. Yields on the previously high yielding peripheral bond
markets fell to historically low levels toward the end of the year. The worst-
performing equity markets were generally found in Asia, with emerging markets
leading the bond market underperformers. The effects of the crisis in emerging
markets spilled over into the developed equity and credit markets in September,
although equities had rebounded by year-end. Japan's bond market suffered
severely toward year-end, joining its equity market which continued to be
adversely affected by the country's economic woes and a strengthening yen.
 
Because of the renewed yen overvaluation, the Fund remains underweight.
Sterling is likewise held at a below-benchmark allocation. Overweight
currencies include the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. Asset class
allocations remain heavily biased toward bonds and underweight developed
equities. Valuations and risk considerations do not support normal equity
allocations.

 BRINSON U.S. EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
The Brinson U.S. Equity Fund is an actively managed Fund invested in common
stocks of U.S. corporations. The Fund is diversified by issue and industry; it
is typically 70% invested in large capitalization stocks, with the remaining
30% in intermediate and small capitalization stocks. Investment strategies
emphasize stock selection with attention to the management of factor and
industry exposures.
 
Since its performance inception on August 31, 1997, the Brinson U.S. Equity
Fund has provided an annualized return of 16.84%, below the 23.78% return of
its benchmark, the Wilshire 5000 Equity Index. This performance was achieved
with a volatility of 20.30%, below the 21.17% volatility for the Wilshire 5000
Equity Index. For calendar year 1998, the Brinson U.S. Equity Fund's total
return of 19.42% trailed the 23.43% return for its benchmark. The following
paragraphs review the sources of Fund underperformance for the year.
 
Market exposure (average beta of 0.95) detracted modestly from Fund relative
performance in the very strong equity environment which characterized 1998.
Factor weightings had the largest negative impact on active returns for the
full year. Among the most significant negative factor positions were the
underexposure in the relative strength and size measures, as a relatively
narrow segment of the largest capitalization stocks continued to dominate
market performance. Most of these large stocks are perceived as high quality
companies with predictable, sustainable growth rates, attributes that have been
highly favored in an environment with increasing economic uncertainty
exacerbated by pockets of global stress such as South East Asia, Russia and
Brazil. Our Fund has minimal exposure to these largest stocks. Our valuation
work suggests peak levels of overvaluation.
 
Industry weightings also detracted from active returns during 1998. The
technology, telecommunications and drug industries relatively outperformed for
the year. Underweights to these industries detracted from performance. Our
underweight in energy continued to contribute to performance as oil prices
plunged to nearly ten dollars per barrel by the end of the year. Our
overweights in economically sensitive basic industry, tire and railroad stocks
also detracted from performance. Slowing industrial production, lower capacity
utilization rates and the build-up of capital stock over the last seven years
have led to overcapacity in many of the basic industries. Commodity prices,
which deteriorated throughout the year, fell more sharply during the fourth
quarter, below our estimate of normal or equilibrium levels for a number of
metals, chemicals and paper grades.
 
Stock selection had a modest positive effect on the Fund for the year. Among
large capitalization issues, the best performers were Federal Express, EMC
Corp. and CIGNA while the worst were Lockheed Martin Corp. and Sears Roebuck
and Co. In the intermediate capitalization segment of the Fund, the most
positive contributors were Peco Energy Co., Allergan Inc. and Circuit City
Stores-Circuit City Group while the weakest were Harnischfeger Industries Inc.,
Lyondell Petrochemical Co., Nextel Communications, Inc., and Consolidated
Stores Corp.

 BRINSON U.S. LARGE CAPITALIZATION VALUE EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Brinson U.S. Large Capitalization Value Equity Fund was launched on June
25, 1998, to better serve the unique needs of our investor base. The Fund is an
actively managed portfolio that seeks to achieve long-term total returns above
that of its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, consistent with reasonable
investment risk, as measured relative to its benchmark.
 
Since its performance inception on June 30, 1998, the Brinson U.S. Large
Capitalization Value Equity Fund has returned 3.71% versus 3.10% of the index.
The Fund has achieved this positive result by applying Brinson Partner's proven
price/value philosophy and disciplined approach to the constituent stocks
comprising the Russell 1000 Index. Strong stock selection in the Fund provided
nearly all of the added value relative to the benchmark for the six-month
period.
 
The second half of 1998 was a tumultuous time for the broader stock market
indexes, as well as the Russell 1000 Value Index. The index lost over 11.5% of
its value in the third quarter, then edged ahead of its second quarter highs by
closing the fourth quarter with an astounding 16.60% gain. The risk evidenced
by this volatility was exacerbated by a large stratification of returns across
various size segments of the market, as investors turned to large stable growth
stocks for safety. During the second half of 1998, small capitalization value
stocks (as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index) ended down over 10%.
 
Industry and factor positions going into 1999 reflect our views that economic
growth will be stable, and that the recent disparities between large growth-
oriented stocks and more traditional value-oriented holdings will see some
mediation. The Fund's largest industry overweights are to the transportation,
consumer, and basic industries, with underweights to the utility, energy and
financial stocks. The Fund's largest relative factor exposures are underweights
to size and relative strength, with overweights to more traditional price/value
measures.

 BRINSON POST-VENTURE FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Brinson Post-Venture Fund invests in common stocks of companies with market
capitalizations between $50 and $810 million, which represent the lower 7.5% of
value of the Wilshire 5000 Equity Index. We define this equity sector as the
"mini-cap" sector. The Fund's emphasis is on companies that developed with the
assistance of professional venture capitalists since, we believe, venture-
backed companies have stronger management and are better positioned for growth
in the future.
 
The Brinson Post-Venture Fund has provided an annualized return of 18.98% since
its performance inception on April 30, 1995, versus a return of 15.12% for its
benchmark, the Wilshire Small Stock Index. The Wilshire Small Stock Index is a
market capitalization weighted index of roughly 3,600 mini-cap companies. The
Post-Venture Fund's annualized volatility was 16.42% over the same time period,
lower than the benchmark volatility of 20.00%. For the year ended December 31,
1998, the Post-Venture Fund had a -5.62% return, compared to a -3.99% return
for the Wilshire Small Stock Index.
 
The Post-Venture Fund's 1998 relative performance was adversely affected by
stock selection within the apparel, business services, and media industries.
The Fund's absence of exposure to Internet-related stocks, whose strong
performance was aided by speculative fervor, also detracted from relative
performance. Stock selection within the trucking, consumer durables, and drugs
and medicine industries enhanced results, as did the Fund's underweight in
energy. Specific stocks that enhanced performance included: Marquette Medical
Systems, a leading producer of systems for patient monitoring and diagnostic
cardiology; Landstar System Inc., a full load trucking company which utilizes
the services of truckers who own their own trucks; Altron Inc., a contract
manufacturer specializing in custom electronic assemblies and multilayer
printed circuit boards; National Computer Systems Inc., a provider of financial
management, student information, and instructional management software and
services; and NCI Building Systems, Inc., a maker of metal buildings and other
building components.
 
The strategy of the Brinson Post-Venture Fund is to invest in companies with
strong management teams, significant competitive strengths in growing markets,
and strong financial positions. This entails identifying target companies that
exhibit, among other attributes, innovative management, low ratios of market
capitalization to sales, and previous venture capital backing. Each company
selected for inclusion in the Fund is scrutinized through on-site visits,
discussions with investment banking firms and venture capitalists, and
intensive valuation techniques. Investments in 28 new companies were made in
1998 using this process, while 28 companies were removed. Consistent with its
focus to add value through detailed screening of the operating potential of
smaller companies, the Fund emphasizes stock selection and does not make use of
market hedging strategies.
 
Entering 1999, we are particularly encouraged by the relative total return
potential of our larger portfolio holdings. These holdings include: Emmis
Communications Corp., a diversified communications company with television,
radio broadcasting and magazine publishing operations; Scotsman Industries,
Inc., a producer of commercial refrigeration products for the foodservice and
food retail industries; Kellwood Company, a manufacturer of moderately priced
women's apparel and recreational camping products; and Computer Task Group
Inc., a leading international information technology services company.

 BRINSON NON-U.S. EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 The Brinson Non-U.S. Equity Fund is actively managed, providing a fully
 integrated approach to the developed equity markets across the world. We
 employ fundamental valuation models to determine the relative attractiveness
 of aggregate markets, as well as of individual stocks. Our Fund construction
 process simultaneously sets country, currency, industry/factor and stock
 selection strategies. This interactive investment process has evolved within
 the context of an environment marked by growing globalization and
 increasingly integrated economies, industries and capital markets.
 
 The Brinson Non-U.S. Equity Fund has provided a return of 2.59% since its
 performance inception on June 30, 1998, compared to the 2.72% return of the
 MSCI World ex USA (Free) Index. With the exception of the Pacific Rim and
 several small markets, most developed equity markets enjoyed solid
 performance.
 
 Monetary Union, privatization, restructuring, merger activity and increased
 capital flows have boosted European equity markets. Despite their excellent
 performance, European corporations are still early into their restructuring,
 with the potential for improving profitability ahead. Europe is our largest
 overweight. Most Pacific markets continued to suffer the consequences of
 last year's currency crisis. This situation has been aggravated in Japan by
 flawed macroeconomic policies, a largely insolvent financial sector and an
 unprofitable domestic corporate sector. We remain significantly underweight
 in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. In comparison, Australia and New Zealand
 have been unduly impacted by their geographic proximity to Asia and are
 attractively priced. We maintain an overweight in these markets.
 
 Overall market allocation detracted from performance. Holding cash (through
 July) in a period of unusually strong returns and overweighting New Zealand
 offset the positive effects of underweighting Japan and overweighting
 Belgium and Finland. Currency management was hurt by the yen underweight and
 the New Zealand dollar and Australian dollar overweights. Stock selection
 was positive due to successful strategies in Japan, helped by the
 significant underweight to banks, overweight to blue chips and stock
 specific returns, but hurt in the U.K. due to stock specific factors, the
 underweight to size and the overweight to basic industries.

 BRINSON EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Brinson Emerging Markets Equity Fund invests in the common stocks of less
developed countries and also considers those not covered in our developed
markets funds. We continually examine newly emerging markets in anticipation of
gaining broad diversification benefits and identifying discrepancies between
prices and fundamental values across markets.
 
Since July 31, 1995, the first month-end after the Fund became fully invested,
the Brinson Emerging Markets Equity Fund has generated an annualized return of
- -9.76%, compared with the -6.30% return of its benchmark, the Brinson Emerging
Markets Normal Index. International Finance Corporation Investable Index
(IFCI), a widely-followed market-capitalization weighted benchmark, returned -
10.06% during the same period. For calendar year 1998, the Fund returned -
23.61%, versus -10.76% for the Brinson Normal Index and -22.00% for the IFCI.
 
The Brinson Normal Index utilizes equal country weights within liquidity tiers
to minimize country-specific risk, while maintaining broad exposure to emerging
growth economies. The composition of the Brinson Normal Index diverged very
significantly from market-capitalization weighted indices. In the volatile
conditions of 1998, there were substantial changes to the composition of the
Brinson Normal Index reflecting the degraded investability of relatively large
Southeast Asian markets such as Malaysia.
 
Asian markets generally outperformed during 1998, thanks to strong rallies in
the first and fourth quarters. The former resulted in the Fund underperforming
the Brinson Normal Index because our strategy was based correctly as it turned
out on the conviction that fundamentals still did not support a turnaround in
the region.
 
Markets in the EMEA were hit very hard during the third quarter as a result of
the Russian debt default and ruble devaluation in August. Contagion from Russia
negatively impacted asset prices in Brazil as investors fled to low-risk havens
and demanded much higher risk premia on emerging market equities. Our relative
performance versus the Brinson Normal Index was significantly hurt by strategy
overweights in both Russia and Brazil at the time.

 BRINSON HIGH YIELD FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Brinson Partners is an active manager of high yield fixed income client
portfolios. We believe successful high yield investing involves capturing the
market's high total return potential while minimizing losses due to credit
deterioration or default. We believe that our research-intensive effort and our
focus on long-term performance will result in superior risk-adjusted returns.
At the forefront of our philosophy is a focus on diversification and
preservation of principal.
 
The Brinson High Yield Fund earned an annualized return of 7.79% since its
performance inception on April 30, 1995, versus 9.54% for its benchmark, the
First Boston High Yield Bond Index. The Fund's total return for calendar year
1998 was -5.66%, versus 0.58% for the benchmark.
 
Spreads in the high yield market widened by 242 basis points during 1998 as
investors fled the high yield market for the safety and liquidity of U.S.
Treasuries. By year-end, liquidity had improved and spreads had tightened by
100 basis points from the October peak to end the year at 554 basis points.
 
Industry weightings contributed significantly to 1998 results. During 1998, the
Fund underweighted the energy, metals and paper industries, which all posted
negative returns, and overweighted broadcasting and diversified media, which
outperformed. Issue selection also played an important role in 1998 as bond
holdings in Simmons Co. and Ryder TRS, among others, were refinanced via tender
offers, resulting in significant capital appreciation.
 
At year end, the Fund contained approximately 100 issues, with 19% in double-B,
74% in single-B and 7% in CCC/CC/C rated issues.

 BRINSON EMERGING MARKETS DEBT FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Brinson Emerging Markets Debt Fund is an actively managed diversified Fund
of fixed income securities issued by sovereign, agency and corporate borrowers
domiciled in countries typically excluded from the definition of "developed"
markets. Fundamental economic and political analyses are the key elements of
the process. Relative value analysis drives our duration, country allocation
and security selection strategies.
 
Since its performance inception on July 31, 1995, the first month-end after the
Fund became fully invested, the Brinson Emerging Markets Debt Fund has earned
an annualized return of 18.19%, compared to the 13.85% return of its benchmark,
the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus (EMBI+). For the year 1998,
the Fund returned -13.34% versus -14.35% for the benchmark.
 
The emerging debt market had declined modestly through July (-0.40%), but in
August experienced its largest-ever monthly decline (-28.74%). Russia's default
on its local currency Treasury bills, after attempting an ill-conceived,
simultaneous internal debt restructuring and currency devaluation, was the main
cause. Without liquidity assistance, re-profiling short-term government debt
destroyed the bank sector and made international support moot. The EMBI+ partly
recovered in the last four months of 1998 with a +20.67% return. For the year,
emerging debt underperformed equivalent duration U.S. Treasury bonds, which
returned 9.84%.
 
In retrospect, the Asian crisis signaled a shift from a benign to malign global
economic environment for emerging economies. Self-reinforcing cyclical trends
of declining commodity prices, slowing G7 economies and retreating lenders all
bore down on these countries in 1998. Asian economies appear to be stabilizing
but Latin America may only be entering its downturn.
 
Market/country allocation strategies had mixed results while security selection
improved Fund performance. The most notable country strategies were an
unfavorable overweight in Russia and favorable overweights in Croatia,
Guatemala and Poland (local currency). Security selection within the Russian
market helped significantly. Our U.S. interest rate duration strategy had no
net impact upon performance.
 
At year-end, our Fund was fully invested with allocations to non-index
countries such as Colombia, Croatia, Turkey and Tunisia and underweights in the
major Latin markets of Brazil and Argentina.

 BRINSON RELATIONSHIP FUNDS - NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Brinson Relationship Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end, management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Trust currently offers shares of eleven series representing
separate portfolios of investments, each of which is non-diversified. The
eleven series are: Brinson Global Securities Fund, Brinson U.S. Equity Fund,
Brinson U.S. Large Capitalization Value Equity Fund, Brinson Post-Venture Fund,
Brinson Non-U.S. Equity Fund, Brinson Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Brinson
U.S. Short/Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, Brinson U.S. Cash Management Prime
Fund, Brinson High Yield Fund, Brinson Emerging Markets Debt Fund and Brinson
Short Term Fund. (each a "Fund," and collectively the "Funds"). The following
is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds
(excluding Brinson Short Term Fund) in the preparation of their financial
statements.
 
A. Investment Valuation: Securities for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the last available sales price on the exchange or
market on which they are principally traded, or lacking any sales, at the last
available bid price on the exchange or market on which such securities are
principally traded. U.S. equity securities traded over-the-counter are valued
at the most recent bid price. Equity securities traded in certain emerging
market countries may be subject to a foreign premium and are valued
accordingly. Investments in affiliated investment companies are valued each day
based on the closing net asset value of the respective fund. Debt securities
are valued at the most recent bid price by using market quotations or
independent services. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
available, including restricted securities which are subject to limitations on
their sale, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under
the direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees.
 
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day on
the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are
valued daily using the quoted forward exchange rates. Equity swap values are
derived based on the values, or estimates of the values, of the applicable
equity indices and foreign exchange rates underlying the contracts. Short-term
obligations with a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates market value.
 
B. Foreign Currency Translation: Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars
using the WM/Reuters closing spot rates as of 4:00 p.m. London time. Purchases
and sales of portfolio securities, commitments under forward foreign currency
contracts and income receipts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on
the date of each transaction. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or
losses on investments are included as a component of net realized and
unrealized gain or loss on investments in the statement of operations.
 
C. Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are accounted for on a
trade date basis. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on an
identified cost basis.
 
D. Investment Income: Interest income, which includes amortization of premiums
and discounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are
recorded as the information becomes available.
 
E. Federal Income Taxes: The Trust has received rulings from the Internal
Revenue Service that each Fund will be treated as a separate partnership for
federal income tax purposes. Income taxes are not provided for by the Funds
because taxable income (loss) of the Funds is includable in the income tax
returns of the investors.

 BRINSON RELATIONSHIP FUNDS - NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
F. Partnership Allocations: For federal income tax purposes, an investor's
distributive share of each item of a Fund's income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit will be determined by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration
of Trust (the "Trust Agreement") so long as the allocation has "substantial
economic effect" within the meaning of Code Section 704 and the regulations
thereunder. The Trust has received rulings from the Internal Revenue Service
that this allocation method has substantial economic effect.
 
G. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Brinson Partners, Inc. (the "Advisor"), a registered investment advisor,
manages the assets of the Trust pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement
with the Trust (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Advisor does not receive any
compensation under the Advisory Agreement for providing investment advisory
services. The Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Brinson Post-Venture Fund and
Brinson High Yield Fund for all operating expenses. The Advisor has agreed to
reimburse the following funds to the extent that total operating expenses
exceed the following percentage of average daily net assets:

</TABLE>
 
4. EQUITY SWAP CONTRACTS
The Brinson Emerging Markets Equity Fund enters into equity swap contracts.
Equity swaps often provide a less expensive, and in some cases the only, means
of investing in certain emerging markets. In these swaps, the Fund agrees to
receive the return on an emerging market equity index and pay a floating
interest rate based on the notional amount of each contract.
 
Fluctuations in the value of open swap contracts are recorded daily as net
unrealized gains or losses. The Fund realizes a gain or loss upon termination
or reset of the contracts. The statement of operations reflects net realized
and net unrealized gains and losses on these contracts. Amounts receivable or
payable related to terminated or reset equity swap contracts, if any, are
reflected as receivable or payable for equity swap contracts closed on the
statement of assets and liabilities.
 
Credit risk may arise as a result of the failure of the swap counterparty to
comply with the terms of the swap contract. The Fund considers the
creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating
potential credit risk. The credit risk to the Fund is limited to the net
unrealized gain by counterparty, if any, on the swap contracts. Additionally,
risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates, foreign
exchange rates or in the value of the underlying indices.
 
At December 31, 1998, the Brinson Emerging Markets Equity Fund had open equity
swap contracts with a limited number of international dealers, including the
Fund's custodian. The Fund had short-term investments segregated with its
custodian equal to, or in excess of, the notional amount of its open equity
swap contracts.

 BRINSON RELATIONSHIP FUNDS - NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
The Brinson Global Securities Fund and the Brinson Non-U.S. Equity Fund may
engage in portfolio hedging with respect to changes in currency exchange rates
by entering into forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell
currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are also used to achieve
currency allocation strategies. A forward foreign currency contract is a
commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a
negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include movement
in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the
ability of the counterparty to perform. The unrealized gain, if any, represents
the credit risk to the Fund on a forward foreign currency contract.
Fluctuations in the value of forward foreign currency contracts are recorded
daily as net unrealized gains or losses. The Fund realizes a gain or loss upon
settlement of the contracts. The statement of operations reflects net realized
and net unrealized gains and losses on these contracts. The counterparty to all
forward foreign currency contracts during the year ended December 31, 1998 was
the Fund's custodian, or an affiliate of the Fund's custodian.
 
6. FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Funds may purchase or sell exchange-traded futures contracts, which are
contracts that obligate the Funds to make or take delivery of a financial
instrument or the cash value of a securities index at a specified future date
at a specified price. The Funds enter into such contracts to hedge a portion of
their portfolio. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the
possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value
of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to
deposit either cash or securities (initial margin). Subsequent payments
(variation margin) are made or received by the Funds, generally on a daily
basis. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the
contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds
recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. The
statement of operations reflects net realized and net unrealized gains and
losses on these contracts.
 
7. SECURITY LENDING:
The Brinson Global Securities Fund loaned securities to certain brokers, with
the Fund's custodian acting as the Fund's lending agent. The Fund earned
negotiated lenders' fees, which are included in interest income in the
statement of operations. Securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash
collateral received. The Fund monitors the market value of securities loaned on
a daily basis and initially requires collateral against the loaned securities
in an amount at least to 102% of the value of domestic securities loaned and
105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned. The cash collateral received
is invested in short-term securities.
 
The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at December
31, 1998, are as follows:

8. TRANSACTION CHARGES
Investors in the Brinson Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the Brinson Emerging
Markets Debt Fund are subject to a transaction charge equal to 1.50% and 0.50%,
respectively, of the Fund's offering price on Fund share purchases. Therefore,
the shares of each of these Funds are sold at a price which is equal to the net
asset value of such shares, plus a transaction charge. The transaction charge
is retained by the Funds and is intended to defray transaction costs associated
