Dear Shareholders,
It is with pleasure that I present to you the Pictet Funds 2003 Semi-Annual
Report that summarizes the performance of your funds over the last six months
and our outlook for the rest of 2003.
Over the period we have seen a higher degree of volatility due to the
swings in sentiment engendered by the military conflict in Iraq, and Asian
markets impacted by SARS.
Emerging markets showed strong performance in the first half of 2003 and
the PICTET GLOBAL EMERGING MARKETS FUND outperformed the MSCI EMF index by 396
basis points (bps) posting a rise of 20.09% over the period. This
out-performance, again showing the benefits of diversification, was owed to
positive asset allocation and very strong stock selection, particularly in Asia
even though these markets took a while to join in the global rally as a result
of SARS.
In the first half of 2003, the PICTET INTERNATIONAL SMALL COMPANIES FUND
recorded a gain of 16.3% lagging its benchmark by 263 bps. Against a lackluster
background small caps performed surprisingly well in most cases better than
large caps. Looking forward to the second half of the year we are encouraged by
several factors and continue to focus on companies with a combination of low
valuations and relative acceleration in earnings.
The PICTET INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND'S return of 9.86% over the first half
of 2003 slightly out-performed the MSCI EAFE Index return of 9.47%. April saw
the strongest performance for European equities in a calendar month since 1986
with encouraging further gains in May and June. An upbeat earnings season
combined with receding fears of bankruptcy meant Japanese equities also
participated in the global rebound in equity markets. In the Fund, stock
selection contributed particularly to performance, with most of the gains
originating from Europe, and in particular the UK.
The PICTET GLOBAL WATER FUND was unable to resist the general downtrend for
equities and under-performed its benchmark in the six months to end June.
Reflecting a cautious market outlook the Fund remains under-invested in the more
economic sensitive segments, lowering the cyclical exposure.
We are grateful for the trust you have put in our funds and we want to
reaffirm our commitment to provide carefully structured investment funds that
will help you to achieve your investment objectives.
Yours sincerely,
/S/ JEAN PILLOUD

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
The portfolio managed to pull further ahead of emerging markets as they
accelerated in the first half of 2003, rising by +20.09% against +16.13% for the
MSCI index for a gain of +396 basis points. This came despite a loss of ground
in June as overweights in Brazil and Southeast Asia suffered pullbacks, and as
the still-strong rand hurt South African resources. Over the second quarter,
SOUTH AFRICA was positive. Adding to ANGLO AMERICAN in May proved premature. The
currency has not yet weakened given the weak dollar, despite the start of a
sustained period of declining interest rates; and commodity plays have not yet
risen in line with strong moves in electronics stocks in anticipation of global
economic recovery. Having taken profits in our few industrial holdings, we have
moved underweight South Africa with positions remaining in resources and in
financials given the direction of domestic interest rates. The ISRAELI rally has
showed no signs of slowing but at least other markets have been catching up,
reducing its relative impact as the quarter rolled on. There is still value in a
few stocks, but the return to positive GDP growth this year and next will not be
vigorous enough to justify aggressive buying at this late stage.
Our positive view of TURKEY compensated for this loss as stocks rebounded
from the government's March refusal to support the American attack on Iraq. We
added to TURKCELL and the holding companies KOC and SABANCI. Our HUNGARIAN
holdings out-performed the local market but that was not enough to beat off the
impact of a weak economy. RUSSIA was more damaging as huge domestic liquidity
flows swamped any fundamental valuation perspective. Our underweight was at
least partially redeemed by good stock performance, and we reduced our holding
in SURGUTNEFTEGAZ after a particularly sharp spike.
Latin American markets generally made positive net contributions. The
outlier was CHILE as our sole holding, ENTEL, gave back some gains following a
strong rally and a marginal negative contribution from VENEZUELA and COLOMBIA,
however our absence from PERU did no harm in the second quarter whilst positions
built up in ARGENTINA benefited from strong moves. We have begun cutting back in
Argentina, where illiquidity means it would be imprudent to sit on too much of
an overweight indefinitely.
Our BRAZILIAN overweight has not yet been pulled back substantially but we
have rotated positions as relative values shift, taking brewer AMBEV down to
neutral in favor of textile manufacturer COTEMINAS and trimming COPEL after
outperformance in March and April. Being underweight MEXICO had little asset
allocation impact, but stock selection boosted the numbers as AMERICA MOVIL and
ELEKTRA outperformed TELMEX and WALMEX in the telecoms and retailing sectors
respectively.
Given the SARS hiccup Asian markets took a while to join in the global
rally, with China and Taiwan being understandable laggards. This gave the
opportunity to move slightly overweight TAIWAN and, in particular, overweight
Taiwanese technology with purchases in SILICONWARE PRECISION, WINBOND and
ASUSTEK as second-quarter data points showed signs of good news at last in the
sector. We would expect to add further to technology over the summer. CHINA was
reduced after good performance from industrials (ALUMINUM CORP, CHINA SHIPPING).
Our marginal underweight in SOUTH KOREA was more than compensated by good stock
selection given its sharp recovery from last quarter's traumas. We added to
SSANGYONG MOTORS and SAMSUNG ELECTRO-MECHANICS. INDIA continued to see strong
stock selection adding to performance despite poor quarterly results from
software houses and by sluggishness across large caps in general as speculation
focused on the smaller banks. Monetary liquidity is building up, and so we are
happy to sit on attractive valuations. Southeast Asia was more productive for
us, although THAILAND was held back by underperformance from the big-cap banks
which have very much become consensus holdings. This lost ground was made up by
our overweight in INDONESIA where we switched from TELKOM INDONESIA and ASTRA
INTERNATIONAL into INDONESIA SATELLITE. Illiquidity precludes a similarly large
position in the PHILIPPINES but PHILIPPINE LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE and BANK OF
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS were strong outperformers. By not joining the rally until
May, MALAYSIA was an underperformer. We have not yet moved to close off our
underweight here.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
The Fund rose by 16.3% over the first half of 2003, lagging the benchmark's
rise of 18.9%. Despite strong showings from many of our technology and cyclical
stocks in the second quarter, stock selection was disappointing in Continental
Europe, where our portfolio rose 23% but did not match the index's exceptionally
strong advance of 27%.
The second quarter began strongly as investors reacted to the swift
conclusion to the military conflict in Iraq. Having been relatively weak in the
run up to the war, European exchanges led the rebound, with the Asian region
subdued. The SARS epidemic was front-page news, while in Japan the market was
further undermined by pension fund selling and the ongoing erosion of bank
shares.
Markets extended their gains in May, reacting to more positive investor
sentiment emanating from the States, though there was little comfort in terms of
economic news in Japan or Europe. Nevertheless, small caps continued to perform
well, in most cases better than large caps, continuing their strong relative run
over the last six months. There was a particularly large rebound in the Asia
ex-Japan region as the SARS epidemic receded but once again, Japan was a
relatively weak performer.
Global markets continued their advance in June, despite mixed economic
releases from the US and the Fed's concerns about deflation. As well as the
increased appetite for risk, bond market momentum reversed, with yields rising
sharply from abnormally low levels. Having lagged over the last two months,
Japan led the way, propelled by the strongest net foreign buying for several
years. Encouragement was taken from a long-awaited rise in yields, perhaps
heralding the end of deflation, and there were strong machinery orders. Other
markets in Asia also reacted positively to better sentiment about the US
consumer, with technology shares at the forefront. European markets rose
modestly against this background with returns subdued by the weakness of the
Euro.
Within the benchmark, individual stock performance was somewhat
indiscriminate, and many lower quality stocks that had previously
under-performed rose sharply on the hopes of a recovery. While we had few
negative shocks in the portfolio, under-performance reflected our relatively
cautious stance, being invested in high-quality (and therefore "low-beta")
shares.
As we have argued previously, the expectations of investors appear to have
run ahead of the hard evidence. The equity markets (and more recently bond
markets) anticipate recovery while the Fed is apparently concerned with
deflation. Looking at the manufacturing sector, most surveys improved between
May and June, but in most cases the pick up was small. The only particular area
of strength in the US appears to be the housing market, which accounts for just
5% of GDP, and the likelihood of further weakness in the US job market does not
argue well for consumer demand in the months ahead.
The Eurozone remains encumbered by the feeble growth of Germany and France,
so more cuts in interest rates are likely before growth is stimulated. In this
context, the UK economy is relatively strong, with retail sales actually showing
growth, albeit moderate and slowing. Economic conditions also continue to
deteriorate in Japan, with industrial activity down from its peak in April and
retail activity weaker than expected.
Against this lackluster background it is perhaps surprising that small caps
have continued to perform so well. Although investor sentiment has risen (and
risk aversion declined sharply) in recent months, smaller shares were
outperforming earlier in the year even as growth expectations were being pared
back, suggesting both attractive valuations and an appetite for stock-specific
growth from investors.
We anticipate this trend to continue regardless of whether expectations
continue to improve, and have resisted the temptation to buy into low quality
momentum-driven stocks that are currently in demand due to their extreme
leverage into any US-led recovery. Rather we have stuck with our favored
combination of both low valuations and a relative acceleration in earnings.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With no significant difference in regional economic performance, investors
continue to play a game of rotation. In the first quarter the US was the best
performing stock market. Europe was the choice of asset allocators in the second
quarter, and so far in the third Japan is outperforming strongly. We retain our
preference for Europe over Japan, but added to our weighting significantly to
the latter in June.
We are encouraged by several factors; the surge in liquidity (with monetary
base up by 20% in June), the better trend in machinery orders, and the mere fact
that, as the market rises, some of Japan's many problems recede. (For example,
the banks become less risky, and pressure on domestic institutions to sell
equities eases.) Among the most recent stocks added were NIPPON SYSTEM
DEVELOPMENT, a software developer, real estate firm SUMITOMO REALTY and chemical
company KUREHA. In Asia, contract manufacturer VENTURE was added while European
stocks sold included RADIOMETER of Denmark.

PICTET INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
The Fund's return of 9.86% over the first half of 2003 slightly
out-performed the MSCI EAFE Index return of 9.47%. Stock selection contributed
particularly to performance, with most of the gains originating from Europe, and
in particular the UK.
During the second quarter, European performance was 1.0% above the local
index. Sector performance reflected the improving market conditions and investor
confidence in strengthening economic activity. Sectors more exposed to cyclical
influence out-performed including Media, Capital Goods and Retailing, whilst
more defensive sectors such as Utilities and Healthcare under-performed. The
defensive bias of the Fund resulted in an overall negative contribution from
sector allocation, although this was partly offset by positive stock selection.
Holdings such as Tesco (which is benefiting from strong current trading,
improving formats and lack of real opposition from the UK competition), Roche
(which has an excellent product pipeline) and Unicredito Italiano (which has
unveiled a new strategic plan) all performed strongly.
Stock activity over the review period included the purchase of AWG, the UK
water services and infrastructure management group. We believe the value in this
stock will be released by management through further restructuring or by a
financial bidder. A position in healthcare company Nobel Biocare was also
initiated. This company develops and produces dental implants and industrialized
dental prosthetics, an area with high growth potential. European stocks sold
include Galen (an Irish pharmaceuticals company specializing in women's
products), which had performed very well such that valuations began to look less
attractive in light of the risk posed by generics. Whilst Roche remains our
favored pharmaceutical stock, we took the opportunity to reduce our large
overweight position on the back of recent strong performance (switching into
Nobel Biocare).
In Japan, the Fund's focus on stocks with relatively secure balance sheets
and earnings prospects led to a generally defensive portfolio -- these stocks
have struggled in the upbeat market environment of the second quarter. The Fund
therefore under-performed the benchmark, MSCI Japan Index.
Activity has centered around selectively increasing the Fund's technology
exposure with the purchase of Mimasu Semiconductor (processes semiconductor
materials and manufactures processing equipment) and Lintec (manufactures
adhesive products for semiconductors and LCDs). A further addition is Victor
Company of Japan (an audio-visual subsidiary of MEI) where product focus and
aggressive cost controls under the stewardship of the new President (appointed
last year) has resulted in a strong turnaround in the business.
Equities rose sharply over the second quarter, recording a gain of 19.3% as
measured by the MSCI EAFE Index in US dollars. Equity prices were boosted by a
combination of factors including an end to the military conflict in Iraq,
further monetary easing by Central banks in the US and Europe, a better than
expected first quarter reporting season and higher levels of corporate activity.
In the period under review, the European market rose by 22.4%, Japan rose by
11.7%, while Asia ex Japan increased by 15.0% in US dollars.
The economic data released over the period has shown a higher than average
degree of volatility due to the swings in sentiment engendered by the military
conflict in Iraq. Overall data from the European economies continues to point to
sluggish activity but with some signs of improving confidence amongst business
leaders and consumers. However, uncertainty over future growth prospects and
easing inflationary pressures resulted in the European Central Bank lowering
interest rates by fifty basis points over the second quarter to a level of 2.0%,
a record low. Although the Bank of England held rates steady over the three
months to end June at the level of 3.75%, expectations of lower rates over the
coming months are building as consumer spending has cooled and the housing
market shows signs of moderation. Within Japan, recent economic releases have
been mixed and had little impact on the overall direction of share prices.
Industrial production and export volumes seem to have leveled off, but
6
PICTET FUNDS
PICTET INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
machinery orders and capital expenditure plans within the Bank of Japan's
quarterly enterprise survey (Tankan) have been encouraging.
The majority of the gains in European equities were in the month of April
when the markets recorded a rise of 11.2%, the strongest performance in a
calendar month since 1986. Encouragingly, May and June saw further gains to push
European equity returns back into positive territory for the year as a whole and
up an impressive 28.5% from the lows reached on March 12th.
In the first quarter reporting season, the number of companies exceeding
analyst expectations has modestly outweighed those disappointing. The majority
of companies, however, continued to be guarded over providing too much
visibility over the course of 2003 that has been reflected in little change to
earnings estimates for the year as a whole. Companies who provided positive
earnings surprise for the first quarter included GlaxoSmithkline, Metro and
Aventis whilst results from Heineken, and Unilever fell short of analyst
expectations. Levels of corporate activity continued to pick up over the quarter
with Royal Bank of Scotland purchasing Churchill Insurance from Credit Suisse
Group, Japan's Seiko Epson completed its share sale and Benfield Group in the UK
completing a successful flotation.
An upbeat earnings season combined with receding fears of bankruptcy
(following the quasi-nationalization of Resona bank), meant Japanese equities
also participated in the global rebound in equity markets, with the upward trend
gaining momentum throughout the quarter. Much of this current rally, which has
been characterized by large volumes in low priced equities, has been fuelled by
foreign institutional buying and has alleviated much of the supply/demand
concerns relating to proxy pension fund selling.

PICTET GLOBAL WATER FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
Global equity markets continued to trend downwards with geopolitical
developments throughout the first quarter, most notably the developments in the
Iraq conflict, causing a lot of concern. Equity prices were also negatively
affected by the uncertainty of the timing of the economic turnaround and the
lack of investor confidence.
As in the past, the Fund's performance was less volatile than that of
global equities and with perhaps a time-lag, unable to resist the general
downward trend for equities. Industrial holdings although showing the greatest
volatility in the Fund, generally held better than the overall market, whereas
consumer staples, and to a lesser degree utilities, tended to be less volatile
albeit under greater selling pressure.
Our weighting in utilities was reduced -- American Water Works was delisted
after US regulatory bodies approved the acquisition of the company by the German
utility RWE. We also took profits in Spanish and French utilities and selected
industrial groups, reinvesting these proceeds in selected names in industrial
and consumer staples where valuation looks attractive.
The high dividend yield and the relative transparent business model, of
regulated utilities, is likely to continue to dampen the volatility extremities
and help limit the downside risk. We remain under-invested in the more economic
sensitive segments, lowering our cyclical exposure, thus reflecting our cautious
market outlook.
The second quarter of 2003 proved to be a good one for equity markets. The
rally started in the aftermath of the swift occupation of Iraq and was fuelled
by investors' optimism of a rebound in economic activity and a big dose of
liquidity available to equity markets.
The Fund held up nicely against the world index despite its more definitive
characteristics. The main contributors to this positive performance were
international water utilities that rebounded from a sell off in March driven by
unjustified worries about short-term financing issues. Equipment companies and
environmental services performed in line with the market while packaged water
companies were lagging.
We increased our exposure to international water utilities in early April
as the group was looking very inexpensive after the sharp sell off in March. We
took profits in UK water utilities. The position in Millipore was increased as
the stock started to outperform. The company provides filtration technologies to
the booming biotech sector.
In relation to its long-term strategy, the Fund remained underinvested in
utilities during the second quarter as UK water utilities are trading close to
their fair values. Environmental services were underweight as well as the share
prices of these companies already discounted an economic recovery that was still
to materialize. Equipment stocks were our preferred choice -- offering solid
earnings growth in a consolidating market place.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Pictet Funds (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust registered on
May 23, 1995 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), is a no-load, diversified (with the exception of the Pictet Global Water
Fund, which is non-diversified), open-end management investment company which
currently offers shares of four series, Pictet Global Emerging Markets Fund,
Pictet International Small Companies Fund, Pictet International Equity Fund and
Pictet Global Water Fund (individually, a "Fund" collectively, the "Funds"). The
accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the
Funds. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require the use of management estimates. The following is a summary of the
significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Funds in the
preparation of their financial statements.
SECURITIES VALUATIONS: Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities
exchange and unlisted U.S. securities are generally valued at the last quoted
price and securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are generally
valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, in each case as of the close of the
exchange's regular trading hours on the day the valuation is made. Generally,
securities listed on a foreign exchange and unlisted foreign securities are
valued at the latest quoted sales price available before the time when assets
are valued. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange
where the security is primarily traded. Generally, listed securities not traded
on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices, if available, otherwise
they are valued at the last reported closing price. The value of securities for
which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) or
that have been materially affected by events occurring after a foreign exchange
closes, is determined in good faith at fair value using methods approved by the
Board of Trustees. In the absence of readily ascertainable market values for
such securities, inherent uncertainty of valuation exists. Methods for valuing
these securities may differ from the values that would have been used had a
ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.
One or more pricing services may be used to provide securities valuations in
connection with the determination of the net asset value of the Funds.
Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund pays a
counterparty cash for, and takes possession of, a debt obligation and the seller
agrees to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period.
This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market
fluctuations during the Fund's holding period. The value of the collateral held
by the Fund, at all times, is at least equal to the total amount of the
repurchase obligations, including interest. In the event of counterparty
default, the Fund generally has the right to use the collateral to offset losses
incurred. There is potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed
or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities,
including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying
securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights. The
Funds' investment adviser, acting under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of those
banks and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to
evaluate potential risks.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS: Each Fund may enter into forward foreign
currency exchange contracts to hedge against anticipated future changes in
exchange rates which otherwise might either adversely affect the value of the
portfolio securities of the Fund or adversely affect the prices of securities
which the Fund intends to purchase or sell at a later date. Forward foreign
currency contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market
daily. The change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain
or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss
equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was
opened and the value at the time it was closed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate
fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Funds' investment securities, but
it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.
Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due
to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential
gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition,
the Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are
unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
Each Fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts for the
purchase or sale of securities denominated in foreign currencies to "lock" in
the U.S. exchange rate of the transaction covering the period between trade date
and settlement date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S.
dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are
translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing foreign exchange rates
obtained at the time the London Exchange closes (approximately 12:00 noon
Eastern Time). Unrealized gains and losses on investments which result from
changes in foreign currency exchange rates have been included in the unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation) of investments. Net realized foreign currency gains
and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency
gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of investment securities
transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference between the
amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the
amount actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses
related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date
and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gains and losses on
investment securities sold.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Distributions from net
investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Funds' net
realized capital gain (including net short-term capital gain), unless offset by
any available capital loss carryforward, is distributed to shareholders
annually. Additional distributions of net investment income and capital gain may
be made at the discretion of the Board of Trustees in order to avoid the
application of a 4% non-deductible Federal excise tax.
TAXATION: Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment
company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and by distributing
substantially all of its earnings to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income
tax provision is required.
EXPENSES: General expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds based
upon relative net assets. Expenses not directly attributable to a specific class
are allocated among all of the classes of the Fund based on their relative net
assets. Operating expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that
Fund's operations.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash
equivalents include cash in banks and investments in overnight deposits.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER FEES
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into an investment advisory
agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Pictet International Management
Limited ("Pictet International"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pictet Canada
L.P. ("Pictet Canada"). Pictet Canada is a partnership, whose principal activity
is investment accounting, custody and securities brokerage. Pictet Canada has
two general partners, Pictet Advisory Services Overseas and FINGEST, and nine
limited partners, each of whom is also a partner of

The Retail Class shares of the Funds each have adopted a rule 12b-1
distribution plan (the "Plan"). The Plan allows each Fund to pay not more than

the Fund. PFPC Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") serves as the Funds'
distributor. The distributor acts as an agent for the Funds and the distribution
of their shares. In addition, the Retail Class of each Fund will pay a portion
of the fees associated with participation in various network programs. There
were no fees paid for the six months ended June 30, 2003 in excess of the 0.25%
for these programs.
PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") serves as the Trust's Administrator and Accounting
Agent. PFPC also serves as the Trust's transfer agent and dividend paying agent.
No officer, director or employee of Pictet International, PFPC, or any
affiliate thereof, receives any compensation from the Trust for serving as
Trustee or officer of the Trust. The Trust pays each Trustee who is not an
affiliated person of Pictet International an annual fee of $5,000, plus an
additional $500 for each board and committee meeting attended. The Trust also
reimburses expenses incurred by each Trustee in attending such meetings.

Shares exchanged or redeemed after holding them six months or less (other

5. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Pictet Global Emerging Markets Fund invests primarily in foreign emerging
markets securities, Pictet International Small Companies Fund and Pictet
International Equity Fund invests primarily in foreign securities and Pictet
Global Water Fund invests primarily in securities of companies throughout the
world operating in the global water sector ("water companies"). Investing in
securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks
and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and
the U.S. Government. These risks include re-valuation of currencies, less
reliable information about issuers, varying securities transaction clearance and
settlement practices, and future

PICTET FUNDS
PICTET GLOBAL EMERGING MARKETS FUND PICTET INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
PICTET INTERNATIONAL SMALL COMPANIES FUND PICTET GLOBAL WATER FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
adverse political and economic developments. These risks are heightened for
investments in emerging markets countries. Moreover, securities of many foreign
companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their
prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and
the U.S. Government. Investing in a single sector makes the Fund more
susceptible to negative impacts on that sector than a less concentrated fund
might be. Also, a change in the value of a single company in that industry might
affect the value of other companies in that sector.
6. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
Income and long term capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences
are due primarily to timing differences and differing characterization of
distributions made by a Fund. Dividends and other distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are reinvested automatically in
additional shares of the Funds at the net asset value next determined after such
dividend or distribution is declared.
Under the current tax law, capital and currency losses realized after
October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the
following fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, the Funds
elected to defer capital losses and currency losses occurring between November
1, 2002 and December 31, 2002 as follows:
CAPITAL LOSSES CURRENCY LOSSES

Pictet International Small Companies Fund 70,548 --
Pictet International Equity Fund 177,888 --
Pictet Global Water Fund 104,310 --
================================================================================
Such losses will be treated as arising on the first day of the year ending
December 31, 2003.
At December 31, 2002 the following Funds had available for Federal income
tax purposes unused capital losses as follows:
