SPECTRUM FUND

Fellow Shareholders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first half of 1995 was a nearly perfect environment for bonds and stocks:
falling interest rates, rising corporate earnings, a slowing yet fundamentally
sound economy, and relatively stable inflation. As a result, U.S. bond and stock
markets erased memories of their dismal performances in 1994.
The second quarter mirrored the first, with the unmanaged Standard & Poor's
500 Stock Index up 9.6%, bringing the six-month gain to a resounding 20.2%.
Based on the historical 10% return on stocks, the market has now provided two
years' worth of average gains in only six months. The rally was led by
technology stocks, with the financial sector also responding strongly to falling
interest rates. Large multinational companies, whose overseas earnings were
boosted by the generally weak dollar, were also big winners. Since the S&P 500
is dominated by large companies, it outperformed many other equity benchmarks
and stock mutual funds for both the quarter and the half. It was outpaced,
however, by the Nasdaq Composite Index, which is heavily weighted in technology
stocks.
The bond market also continued to soar, as increasing signs of a slowing
economy led to falling interest rates across all maturities. The benchmark 30-
year Treasury bond yield dropped 80 basis points during the quarter, finishing
at 6.6% (100 basis points is equal to one percentage point). As measured by the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, the bond market returned 6.1% in the
second quarter versus 5.0% in the previous period, for a six-month compound
return of 11.4%.
In early July, the Federal Reserve finally acknowledged what the bond
market had been signaling since late last year, that the slowing economy called
for lower interest rates. The Fed lowered the federal funds target by one-
quarter percentage point, to 5.75%, its first reduction in nearly three years.

Foreign stocks started to regain investor confidence, which was shaken by
last year's devaluation of the Mexican peso. Many of the larger foreign equity
markets recovered somewhat from the poor results of the first quarter to post
positive returns for the second quarter and the first half. Japan, whose economy
is treading water, was an exception. Latin American returns, which were
particularly hard hit by the peso debacle, were positive for the second quarter
but negative for the six months.
Foreign bond returns were generally more impressive than foreign stocks,
but lost momentum. The dollar, which was extremely weak earlier this year,
stabilized against most European and Asian currencies during the second quarter.
As a result, returns to U.S. investors were positive, but well below the
spectacular returns of the first quarter.
SPECTRUM GROWTH FUND
PERFORMANCE AND STRATEGY REVIEW
Spectrum Growth turned in strong results for the quarter and the first half, as
shown in the table on the next page. Returns trailed the broad market and our
peer group,
however, due to our significant holdings of small-capitalization and foreign
stocks. While both enjoyed positive performance, they could not match large-
capitalization U.S. stocks and technology issues.

---------------------
Spectrum Growth Fund 7.3% 14.2%
Lipper Growth &
Income Fund Index* 8.2 16.7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Based on the 30 largest growth and income funds.
Overseas economies are now growing faster than the U.S., and we intend to
maintain a significant exposure to foreign equity markets. This is reflected in
our near maximum allocation to the International Stock Fund, which brings
Spectrum Growth's total foreign equity holdings to 29% of fund assets (see pie
chart).
On the U.S. front, we are tilting away from value stocks toward growth
stocks, whose consistent earnings gains typically become more enticing to
investors as the economy slows. In the latest quarter, we slightly increased our
holdings in the Growth Stock and New Horizons funds and trimmed our position in
the Growth & Income Fund, which is more value-oriented. Although our exposure to
small stocks fluctuated during the quarter, we retained enough to benefit from
their historically higher returns.

Security Diversification

Spectrum Growth participated in the technology rally through its 19% allocation
to New Horizons, which gained 24.1% in the first half due mostly to its
substantial holdings of technology stocks.
The fund's overall security diversification, as shown in the chart (lower
left), changed little from last quarter.
SPECTRUM INCOME FUND
PERFORMANCE AND STRATEGY REVIEW
Propelled by investments in the Equity Income and International Bond funds,
Spectrum Income provided excellent returns for the first half. Although the
dollar strengthened slightly against the yen and the deutschemark in the second
quarter, the International Bond Fund still returned 16.8% for the six months,
mostly due to currency translation in the first quarter. (When the dollar is
weak, returns on foreign investments receive a boost from the conversion into
dollars.)
The Equity Income Fund, while trailing the broader S&P 500 because of its
value approach and focus on high-dividend securities, participated strongly in
the stock and bond market rallies, returning 6.7% and 15.4% for the three- and
six-month periods, respectively. This fund continues to play a valuable role as
Spectrum Income's main vehicle for diversification away from strictly interest
rate-sensitive investments.
Spectrum Income outperformed its Lipper peer group average for the six-
month period, but lagged slightly behind in the latest quarter. Since the fund
is more broadly diversified than most income-oriented funds, with more
international exposure, it did not benefit quite as much from the quick and
steep descent of U.S. interest rates last quarter.

We made only slight changes to the fund's allocations during the quarter.
As the pie chart shows, half of the portfolio is invested in high-grade U.S.
bonds. While bonds are not likely to enjoy the torrid price appreciation of the
first quarter, they should still perform well, especially if the Fed continues
to lean toward ease. As shown in the allocation table following this letter, we
approached the limit in our exposure to the GNMA and New Income funds, at 16%
and 28% of assets, respectively. GNMAs continue to provide attractive income,
and mortgage prepayments, in our view, will not be nearly as high as some
suggest. We increased our emphasis on high-quality bonds since they tend to
outperform lower-quality bonds when the economy's pace cools.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security Diversification
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[PIE CHART APPEARS HERE]
Pie chart showing security diversification among high-grade bonds, money
markets, high-yield bonds, international bonds, and stocks on 6/30/95.
We lowered our commitment to international bonds to 11% of the fund's
assets from 14% last quarter. While international bonds contributed nicely to
your fund's performance in the first half, we believe the dollar has bottomed
out and may rally in coming months. That would reduce the benefits of currency
translation, which was such a strong factor behind the solid returns of
international bonds in the first half.
OUTLOOK
The cut in the federal funds rate, together with a fundamentally sound economy,
should help allay fears of a near-term recession. The question now is the pace
of economic growth for the rest of the year and the Fed's future course on
monetary policy. Recent signals have been mixed: industrial production remains
weak, with several months of declines followed by a slight uptick in June. But
retail sales rose and unemployment dropped in June, indicating underlying
strength in the economy.
We believe the economy remains basically sound and will pick up later this
year, which is good news for stocks. A recovering economy could eliminate the
need for further rate cuts by the Fed and hurt the high-grade bond market.
However, stronger growth should be good for high-yield bonds, which represent
17% of Spectrum Income's portfolio.
Looking abroad, we expect foreign stocks to be bolstered by improving
global economies, but foreign bond returns to U.S. investors may be more
negatively affected by an improving dollar. The Spectrum Funds, with their
exceptionally broad diversification, offer protection from these fluctuations
because declines in any one sector can be balanced by investments in other,
unrelated sectors. Such diversification offers the potential for attractive
returns over the long haul with less short-term volatility than more narrowly
focused funds.
At the end of June, the Spectrum Funds celebrated their fifth birthday,
growing to nearly $2 billion in total assets. Around two-thirds of that money
has been invested through IRAs and other retirement plans. We thank you for your
continued confidence.

A) Security valuation - Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the
closing net asset value per share of each Underlying Fund on the day of
valuation.
B) Other - Income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions from the
Underlying Funds and distributions to Spectrum's shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Purchases and sales of the Underlying Funds are accounted
for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified
cost basis. Capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles.
