Dear Evergreen Shareholders,

We are pleased to provide the semiannual report for the Evergreen Global and International Funds, which covers the six-month period ended April 30, 2002.

The international markets performed relatively well over the past six months. Year-to-date gains of approximately 0.50% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and Far East Free Index (MSCI EAFE Free) compared to losses of -5.84% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) lend further credence to the importance of diversification in investing. We believe that prospects for global economic recovery are improving. The United States appears headed for moderate growth, characterized by low inflation and a steady Federal Reserve Board policy. The United States consumer has remained active and as demand in the U.S. improves, so should opportunities for many of the world’s economies. Past strength of the U.S. has allowed foreign producers to introduce their products into the United States market where they now provide additional competition. The monetary policies of the major central banks (G-7 central banks) have all had an expansionary bias and we believe we will now see the benefits of such policies.

Overseas, emerging markets have been the top performers. Out of favor for much of the last half decade, valuations now look attractive and the prospects for global recovery may bode well for many of these export-driven economies. Japan has been weighed down by a long economic malaise, but the economy is showing beginning signs of a recovery. In Europe, companies are taking steps to improve profitability, which should leverage their profit opportunity as economic growth improves. We believe valuations remain attractive in international markets, especially because economic expansion in the United States would strongly benefit major export nations, especially emerging markets.

Diversification remains important

An environment like the past six months offers many reasons for building a diversified portfolio rather than trying to predict the market’s movements. Exposure to various types of investments should remain an important component of a well-balanced portfolio. It is important that you consult with your financial advisor to develop a strategy that will support your long-term objectives.

Please visit our newly enhanced Web site, EvergreenInvestments.com, for more information about our funds and other investment products available to you.

CURRENT INVESTMENT STYLE1


Morningstar’s Style Box is based on a portfolio date as of 4/30/2002.

The Equity Style Box placement is based on a fund’s price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratio relative to the S&P 500, as well as the size of the companies in which it invests, or median market capitalization.

1 Source: 2002 Morningstar, Inc.

2 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The performance of each class may vary based on differences in loads, fees and expenses paid by the shareholders investing in each class. Performance includes the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

The fund incurs 12b-1 fees of 0.25% for Class A and 1.00% for Classes B and C. Class I does not pay a 12b-1 fee. Returns reflect expense limits previously in effect, without which returns would be lower.

Class I shares are only offered to investment advisory clients of an investment advisor of an Evergreen fund (or its advisory affiliates) through special arrangements entered into on behalf of Evergreen funds with certain financial services firms, certain institutional investors and persons who owned Class Y shares in registered name in an Evergreen fund on or before December 31, 1994.

The fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without the vote of the fund’s shareholders.

Foreign investments may contain more risk due to the inherent risks associated with changing political climates, foreign market instability and foreign currency fluctuations. Risks of international investing are magnified in emerging or developing markets.

All data is as of April 30, 2002, and subject to change.

Portfolio Manager Interview


How did the fund perform?

The fund’s Class A shares had a total return of 38.10% during the six-month period ended April 30, 2002, excluding any applicable sales charges. During the same period, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Free Index returned 33.67%, while the median return of emerging markets mutual funds was 31.50%, according to Lipper Inc., an independent monitor of mutual fund performance.

What factors affected performance during the six months?

In general, emerging markets did extremely well during the period. Stock prices, which had been very low, reacted quickly to growing evidence of economic stabilization and even a resumption of growth in the U.S. and other developed markets. Low interest rates, the result of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and the central banks of other industrialized nations, added liquidity to the emerging markets and contributed to optimism that the global economy was stabilizing.

These generally favorable conditions helped drive the fund’s strong performance, both on an absolute basis and relative to industry and competitive benchmarks. Investments in virtually all markets contributed to performance. The most notable exception was in Brazil, a market hurt by political uncertainty over upcoming presidential elections, the country’s large external debt and exposure to the financial crisis in neighboring Argentina.

What were your principal strategies?

We tend to focus on stock selection, rather than making major decisions to underweight or overweight different countries or markets. Our emphasis is on company fundamentals and stock valuations. In general, we focus on stocks in industries where the local economies have competitive edges. During the six months, we gradually repositioned the portfolio to place more emphasis on defensive consumer stocks, such as brewers, soft drink and food companies, and commodity resource companies. As a broad statement, the best resource companies tend to be in the emerging markets; and as commodity prices rise, resource companies should be the first to benefit.

What types of investments had the greatest impact on performance during the period?

Our stock selection was very good. One of the best performers was Samsung, the Korean electronics company that has grown to a global leadership position in consumer electronics. Another very strong performer was Pliva, a Croatian pharmaceuticals corporation whose stock price doubled during the six months. In China, we had a very

successful holding in Techtronic Industries, which manufactures power tools that are sold by leading global retailers, including Home Depot and Wal-Mart.

Several investments in Mexico did very well, including Fometo Economico Mexicanao (FEMSA), a large brewing and soft drink company that also owns a half-interest in Coca-Cola bottling companies in Mexico.

Our investments in several resource, metals and mining stocks based in the United Kingdom and South Africa also posted gains as commodity prices rose on expectation of a renewal of global economic growth.

United Microelectronics Corp. 1.4%

Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Grupa 1.4%



What is your outlook for emerging market investing?

We believe the opportunities in the emerging markets remain very attractive. Based on company fundamentals, stock prices tend to be cheap. Low short-term interest rates that encourage investment tend to help emerging markets, as does the growing evidence that the global economy is stabilizing after a period of slowing growth in 2001.

We will continue to emphasize individual stock selection rather than trying to make major decisions to overweight or underweight various countries. However, because of the severity of the economic and financial problems in Argentina and Brazil, we will be extremely careful about investments in those two markets. In general, we expect to continue our focus on defensive consumer stocks, such as beverages and food companies, and the natural resource and mining companies.

*As of 3/31/2002


What was the investment environment like during the six months?

In the U.S. markets, we saw several distinct phases during the six-month period. We began with a rally that resulted from the sharply oversold levels experienced after the September 11 terrorist attacks. This rally lasted through the final months of 2001, but the market quickly retreated in January as fears of accounting problems surfaced. In late February the market rallied again as economic indicators suggested the recovery would be more robust than had originally been expected. Once again, however, the market gave up those gains as expectation got ahead of reality. Value issues outperformed growth issues for the period, which is not surprising given the amount of uncertainty regarding the economy and corporate profits.

The slow growth environment in the U.S. markets had a ripple effect throughout international markets and caused some hesitancy on a global level. In addition to the stagnant economy in the U.S., the lack of investor confidence resulting from the terrorist attacks and accounting issues meant that international markets outperformed U.S. markets. The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Free Index was up 4.73% for the six-month period, while the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) was up only 2.29%.

Financials 17.2%

Consumer Discretionary 17.0%

Consumer Staples 15.3%

Health Care 14.9%

Information Technology 10.1%



What factors affected performance?

The fund’s outperformance versus its benchmark was primarily due to stock selection in the international portion of the portfolio. During the period, the portfolio generally was allocated 50% domestically and 50% internationally. For the six-month period covered in this report, the U.S. stock market showed a tremendous amount of volatility. Although the S&P 500 managed to produce a small gain, this gain masks the severe rotation underlying the market. With no clear picture regarding the sustainability of economic growth or earnings recovery, many sectors found it difficult to hold the large gains they had achieved in the fourth quarter of 2001.

On the international side, we positioned the portfolio defensively, in terms of industry and company selection, and that served us well. We focused on industries like tobacco and food and beverage that have fairly predictable sales, earnings growth and cash flow. We minimized exposure to technology and telecommunications companies, which also proved sound. Throughout the period, industry selection was a more important factor than country selection, but we concentrated holdings in countries with lower volatility, stable returns and reasonable valuation levels. Finally, we made an attempt to reduce unnecessary risk in the portfolio by selling stocks that we considered overvalued.

Reckitt Benckiser Plc 1.7%

Coloplast A/S 1.7%

Exxon Mobil Corp. 1.7%



What types of investments performed well in the portfolio?

The best performers in the U.S. portion of the portfolio were stable earners such as Anheuser Busch, Coca-Cola and Kraft. We also had positive contributions from industrial companies such as United Technologies Corp. and 3-M Corporation. All of these companies have high quality, experienced and respected management teams, and their stocks offered attractive value.

The international companies that contributed positively to the fund’s performance included Luxottica Group, an Italian company that manufactures sunglass frames and lenses. The company owns two U.S. companies, Lenscrafters and Sunglass Hut, which provide a captive distribution channel in the U.S. Luxottica is an industry leader with a predictable business and has been somewhat recession resistant. We also benefited from the performance of Logitech International, a Swiss company that is an innovative producer of ergonomically designed personal computer mice and peripheral gear. Although the personal computer business has dragged in recent months, business was good for Logitech.

What types of investments negatively affected performance?

On the domestic side, many large cap, widely owned stocks had poor showings during the six-month period. In particular, the fund’s performance was hurt by large holdings in Citigroup, American International Group and General Electric.

Internationally, just as in the domestic markets, the technology and telecommunications sectors were disappointing. While we were underweighted in both sectors, we still held some companies in these sectors, which detracted from performance. Holdings in the computer services, data processing and financial services industries also had a negative impact. In order to add names that were less expensively valued, we sold several positions in the luxury goods area that were still considered global leaders. One company we sold was Ferretti, a manufacturer of luxury yachts. Despite management’s claims to the contrary, we were not comfortable with their assertion that their client base was recession-proof.

What is your outlook?

Our domestic outlook for the first quarter of 2002 was not necessarily in line with the rather pessimistic views held by many U.S. economists; and our prediction for a mild recovery turned out to be fairly accurate. We expect the economy will continue to be somewhat sluggish in the coming months, because we believe that consumers will have difficulty keeping up the pace of spending that kept the economy afloat over the last six to nine months. We are a bit more optimistic on the industrial side where inventories have been worked down to very low levels. We believe the key to sustained economic growth is corporate profits, and we will monitor them closely in the coming months as an indicator of future economic activity.

EVERGREEN

Portfolio Manager Interview


Internationally, we expect things to continue as they have in recent months. Most of the world’s major markets are experiencing a period of relative equilibrium and, therefore, industry and stock selection are critical. It is only in periods of disequilibrium that macroeconomic issues and country or regional issues become more important. We are always vigilant about monitoring macroeconomic trends in emerging markets. That being said, we will continue to look for companies with predictable businesses and stable earnings growth. Because of the interdependency of the world’s financial markets, we expect that the progress of an economic recovery in the U.S. will affect international markets as well.

What was the investment environment like during the period?

A lot occurred over the last six months, starting with the decline in the markets immediately after the terrorist attacks. Initially, investors seemed to be apprehensive, concerned that the economy might really be in for a jolt, but that did not happen. Strong economic news indicated that a recovery was underway, but the recovery was not evident in first quarter earnings and stocks trailed off, particularly in April.

The international investment environment was somewhat difficult due to negative equity performance before September, but that brought valuations down and we found some attractive opportunities. Both investors and businesses were cautious, waiting for better economic figures before renewing investing. Technology remained lackluster, but we saw some interest in companies that provide consistent cash flows. Multiples on more traditional companies rose, while they declined on more aggressive companies. Investors’ risk appetites were still down, bringing a renewed appreciation for stable cash flows.

What factors affected the fund’s performance?

The domestic portfolio was still primarily influenced by technology stocks. We were well positioned for the rally at the end of 2001 after increasing our technology weighting. The sector performed well from September through February of 2002, but gave back the gains during March and April. We maintain a fairly aggressive stance toward this sector because we believe it will lead to higher total return over time; however, it may also lead to higher volatility in the domestic portion, which is somewhat offset by a lower volatility portfolio on the international side. Because the U.S. has always been a leader in new technologies, we emphasize the sector in the domestic portion of the portfolio.

Internationally, we increased our weighting in Japan to take advantage of a market rally resulting from measures introduced by the Japanese government in February and March to stimulate the economy. Valuations in emerging markets are the most attractive among all international markets. These areas have benefited from a flow of funds out of developed markets into lower-valued stocks, and also from investor perception that a rebound in global GDP growth would improve emerging market prospects. European markets have been fairly stable and both GDP growth and the markets have been less volatile than the U.S. Globally, smaller cap companies have been outperforming larger caps, due primarily to their attractive valuation profiles.

What types of investments contributed positively to the fund’s performance?

Consumer-related stocks performed well during the period and retail stocks were very strong, up over 60% for the six-month period. Several notable names include Chico’s FAS, Inc., a specialty retailer of exclusively designed, private label women’s clothing; their stock doubled during the period. Gymboree Corp., another specialty retailer that manufactures high quality apparel, accessories and play programs for children, also doubled during the period. Education stocks and casino and gaming stocks posted strong performance as well.

Internationally, we own several smaller and mid-sized companies, such as Puma and Adidas, that trade at substantial discounts to their large cap counterparts, such as Nike. Puma has been at the forefront of the crossover between fashion and athletic footwear with soaring backlogs and sales. The stock increased 141.66% during the period, yet is still trading at an attractive multiple. A significant position in Autoliv, Inc., a Swedish supplier of auto parts and safety products such as airbags, also contributed to performance. The company is restructuring, increasing its margins, and benefiting from increased spending on auto safety. CSN, a Brazilian steel producer, which is among the lowest cost producers in the world and trades at a discount to its peers in the West was another strong performer. Alpine Electronics, a Japanese company that supplies car stereos to Honda, BMW and Mercedes, is profiting from the market share gains these companies have achieved in the auto sector.

What types of investments had a negative impact on performance?

The weakest sector domestically was software, which is suffering from a lack of corporate spending. Many companies with excellent technology and strong competitive positions are floundering in the business recession. Netegrity, Inc., which designs, develops, markets and supports software for controlling user access to electronic commerce applications, was down 25% during the period. Another example is Internet Security Systems, Inc., a pioneer in security software that deals with information protection solutions dedicated to protecting online assets. We still own Netegrity, because we believe that business will return and we want to be positioned to take advantage of that trend.

On the international side, we were hurt by weightings in the health and medical sector when several of our biotechnology and pharmaceutical holdings declined during a difficult environment. In particular, Cambridge Antibody Technology, a British biotechnology company, and Cochlear, an Australian medical device company, performed poorly.

Consumer Discretionary 30.1%

Information Technology 13.4%

Industrials 12.4%

Health Care 11.2%

Consumer Staples 10.6%



What strategies are you currently employing and do you anticipate any changes?

Although we maintain an overall aggressive approach in the domestic portfolio, we have been more defensive recently because of the difficult environment that many high-growth companies face. We have maintained a neutral weighting in technology and have been underweighted in telecommunications--the bleakest area in high tech. We have been overweighted in healthcare, and healthcare services contributed positively to performance during the period.

We would like to remind investors that small growth stocks are characterized by large price swings over short periods of time, so a long-term outlook is important. Historically, this asset class has advanced during times of technological innovation and we believe there is still room for further advances. We do not attempt to distinguish ourselves on the downswings; rather, we position the portfolio for potentially strong returns during the upswings.

Internationally, we remain cautious on technology and are waiting to see an increase in technology spending. From an equity standpoint, we are looking for companies that have an increasing earnings profile with relatively low valuations, based on a historical or sector perspective. We believe investors will continue to reward consistency in earnings, but anticipate a flow to higher-beta stocks once the market regains its footing.

What is your outlook?

While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact timing of the eventual upswing, we believe current signs point to a better U.S. business environment in the fourth quarter of 2002 or early in 2003. Traditionally, the stock market anticipates the upswing, so although it may be difficult for several more months, we do believe that investors will be rewarded in a fairly short time frame, and we are managing the domestic portion of the fund to be positioned for such a trend.

We believe global recovery will be strongly influenced by the amount of follow-through in U.S. growth after the strong first quarter of 2002. European markets should be fairly stable, because growth there has been less volatile and should therefore increase less. We are currently underweighted in Japan relative to the fund’s benchmark and are cautious about its prospects in the absence of any meaningful reform. We think the country will plod along and its export sector will be dependent on prospects for a cyclical recovery. The emerging markets still present some attractive opportunities, but will also need to fuel recovery in developing market growth in order to continue their bullish trend.

How did the fund perform over the past six months?

The fund’s Class I shares had a total return of -0.30% for the six-month period ended April 30, 2002. In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Global Government Index excluding U.S. (JPMGXUS) returned -2.19% for the same time period. We attribute the fund’s negative return to the rising yield environment that took place over much of the fiscal period, as rising yields push bond prices lower. While we do not like to see negative returns, the fund’s stronger performance relative to the index is notable.

We attribute the fund’s outperformance of the JPMGXUS to the fund’s shorter duration relative to the index, which limited price erosion when yields rose. Expressed in years, duration measures a portfolio’s sensitivity to interest rate changes. Lengthening duration increases interest rate sensitivity and conversely, shortening duration enhances price stability.

Why did yields rise?

Yields rose internationally as investors anticipated an end to accommodative monetary policies in the United States, the United Kingdom and the Eurozone. Eurozone countries are those comprising the European Monetary Union and include Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal and Spain. In the United States, the Federal Reserve Board lowered interest rates throughout 2001 to stimulate its stubbornly slow economy. The Fed’s actions were particularly aggressive after the tragic events of September 11 as they sought to avoid a significant downturn. These cuts were accompanied by similar actions in the United Kingdom and Eurozone, although in the Eurozone, rates were lowered at a more cautious pace.

By the end of 2001, signs of stronger U.S. growth began to appear. Market sentiment shifted favorably with the economy’s healthier outlook. Investors began to think the Fed would stop lowering rates and perhaps even raise them, longer term. This change in forecast caused investors to push yields higher and prices lower. Because international monetary authorities were expected to adopt the same strategy as the Fed, international yields also climbed higher.


Portfolio Composition
(based on 4/30/2002 portfolio assets)




What strategies did you use to manage the fund?

We actively managed asset allocation by country as well as the fund’s currency positions. We also shortened duration, which enhanced price stability. Eurozone holdings were increased because of the relative attractiveness of their yields, as well as their potential for total return. Mid-way through the period, we reduced exposure to the government debt of developed countries--specifically Eurobonds with the longest maturities, such as those of Norway and Hong Kong. We then redeployed assets into the corporate bonds of developed countries and the government debt in the emerging markets. Emerging market positions included Hungarian forint-denominated bonds, and bonds in Columbia, Romania, Egypt, Russia, Malaysia, Brazil and South Africa, which were denominated in currencies with large liquid markets. These currencies included the U.S. dollar, British sterling and the Euro. Each of these holdings was thoroughly analyzed and is constantly monitored. Furthermore, we selected bonds with short durations, which helped limit risk.

In currencies, the fund maintained a substantial position in Australian dollars, British sterling and U.S. dollars for most of the period. Within the last two months, however, we reduced

14

both the Australian and U.S. dollar holdings, redirecting assets into the Euro and Japanese yen. We selected the Euro to take advantage of attractive market conditions in the Eurozone; and the new yen holdings enabled the fund to better reflect the JPMGXUS. Until that time, the fund had no yen exposure compared to the JPMGXUS weighting of 35%. At the end of the period, the fund’s Japanese yen position stood at 20% of net assets.

Portfolio Quality
(based on 4/30/2002 market value of bonds)




What is your outlook over the next six months?

We believe international interest rates have reached their lows for this economic cycle. The outlook for international economies remains unclear, however, and event risk is still high. Consequently, we do not expect to see an increase in rates for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, when the monetary authorities do push rates higher, we believe the increases will be cautious and small.

In the months ahead, we think a more solid economic outlook, combined with the attractive yields available in the larger markets of the Eurozone and some of the developing markets in both Eastern Europe and the Far East, could enable bonds in these countries to outperform other sectors of the international bond market. This could put an end to the dominant strength demonstrated by the U.S. dollar for the past five years, as investors strive to maximize opportunities by seeking alternative currencies. As conditions in the international bond market change, we will continue to employ the fund’s flexible management philosophy and pay close attention to credit analysis--focusing on realizing attractive returns over the long term.

What was the investment environment like during the six-month period?

Slow growth and volatility in the U.S. markets had a ripple effect throughout international markets and caused some hesitancy among investors globally. Despite a rally in the U.S. markets during the fourth quarter of 2001, investors in the U.S. lacked confidence about the prospects of an economic recovery. Reports of accounting gimmicks at Enron and Arthur Andersen became part of the American investing landscape and contributed to lackluster performance. International markets outperformed U.S. markets for the six-month period and performed particularly well in the first four months of 2002 as the U.S. markets gave back some of the gains achieved late in 2001. While the MSCI EAFE Free was up 4.73% for the six-month period, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was up only 2.29% for the same period.

What were your principal strategies during the period?

In anticipation of a somewhat hesitant market environment, we had positioned the portfolio defensively, in terms of industry and company selection. Throughout the period, industry selection was a more important factor than country selection and we focused on industries like tobacco and food and beverage that have fairly predictable sales, earnings growth and cash flow. We minimized exposure in the technology and telecommunications sectors, which was positive since telecommunications was one of the worst performing sectors.

Relative to the MSCI EAFE Free, we were underweighted in Japan and that economy continues to struggle despite the government’s attempts to stimulate it. We were overweighted in Canada and that economy, although highly dependent on the U.S. economy, has been helped by an improving picture in the area of natural resources. The emerging markets performed better than any other international region because they continue to be inexpensively valued. We focused on the larger markets, such as Brazil, Korea, Mexico and South Africa, and on dominant, larger capitalization companies within those markets.

What types of investments contributed to the fund’s performance?

In the tobacco industry, we owned Swedish Match Company. This company is involved in the higher growth parts of the tobacco industry -- cigars, snuff and chewing tobacco -- and performed extremely well. The company is benefiting from excess cash generated through buying back company stock and from a high return on equity. In the beverage industry, a large position in Diageo, which is based in the United Kingdom, contributed to the fund’s performance. Diageo owns a wide range of alcoholic brands, such as Guinness. The company has predictable earnings and is the dominant player in the spirits industry. Another sector that performed well was food merchandising. Sobeys, Inc., is the second largest food retailer in Canada and has profited because its valuation is

17


EVERGREEN

Portfolio Manager Interview


extremely attractive compared to that of the number one retailer.

Korea, in particular, was a major source of outperformance for the fund. As a country, it was the largest contributor to the fund’s performance. Korea continues to benefit from good economic growth and good valuations, even though the market has already enjoyed a good run. The Korean government has passed laws to encourage consumer spending by making the use of credit cards tax efficient, which is boosting consumer spending further. During the period, we took profits on several companies that had performed well in the portfolio: Pacific Corporation, a cosmetics company; Shinsegae, a department store company; and Hyundai, a car manufacturer.

What types of investments negatively affected performance?

The same areas that struggled in the domestic markets were disappointing performers internationally. The technology and telecommunications sectors were both disappointing. While an underweighting in both sectors, relative to the benchmark, minimized the damage, we still had some holdings that detracted from performance. Selections in the computer services, data processing, electronic production equipment and financial services industries also had a negative impact on the portfolio.

Financials 25.6%

Consumer Staples 17.5%

Consumer Discretionary 14.8%

What is your outlook?

We do not anticipate any dramatic changes in world markets over the next six months or so, but we will monitor the progress of the economic recovery in the U.S. because it is the country that has the greatest impact on global markets. We believe that valuation levels in the U.S. remain high and we expect the economic recovery will be less than consensus expectations.

Outside of the U.S., the markets are in a period of relative equilibrium; therefore, industry and stock selection are the performance differentiators when choosing investments for the portfolio. Only during periods of disequilibrium are macroeconomic issues and country or regional issues the major determinants of performance. Emerging markets are an exception to that and we are always vigilant about monitoring macroeconomics in those areas and will continue to analyze from a top-down, country perspective. In 2002 we have been adding names in some of the less volatile emerging market countries. Japan is another place where we will continue to apply top-down analysis because of its current economic situation.

In general, we plan to maintain our focus on companies with predictable businesses, stable returns, consistently high returns on equity and reasonable valuation levels. We have also been paying more attention to companies with higher dividend yields, and since the beginning of the year have been adding companies in the medium capitalization range. Basically, in all the global markets we are seeing a return to the traditional tools, techniques and thought processes that may lead to more successful and sustained performance.

What was the investment environment like in Latin America during the six-month period?

During the first two months of the period, which coincided with the final two months of 2001, stocks rose in emerging markets throughout the world. Growing evidence that the global economy was stabilizing, as well as increased liquidity created by interest rate cuts by central banks in the United States and other developed nations, lifted equity prices. Equity markets in Latin America participated in the rallies. Within the region, the Mexican market continued to perform well, while the Brazilian and Argentine markets appeared to begin recovering from the depressed levels to which they had fallen during the previous 12 months. Optimism seemed to be the dominant sentiment of this period.

During the first four months of 2002, however, divergent trends drove Latin American equity markets in different directions. Stocks in Mexico, the most stable economy, continued to perform very well. In contrast, a financial and political crisis engulfed Argentina, where the currency was devalued and mismanagement aggravated a deteriorating situation. Neighboring Brazil was affected by problems in Argentina as well as by uncertainty over the upcoming presidential elections in October 2002. Foreign investors worried about the possibility that an election victory by Brazilian socialists could undercut the possibility of economic reform. Chilean equities also lost ground because of the country’s close economic ties with Argentina.

How did these factors affect the performance of the fund and management strategies?

Our emphasis on Mexican equities clearly helped the fund’s performance. In Mexico, we focused on large, industry-leading companies, which tended to perform very well. Mexican stocks that contributed positively to performance included Fometo Economico Mexicanao (FEMSA), a large brewing and soft-drink company; Coca-Cola Femsa, a joint venture half-owned by FEMSA; Walmex, which operates Wal-Mart stores in Mexico; and Cemex, the dominant cement company in Mexico that also has extensive operations in the United States. In general, these larger companies benefited from increasing evidence of stability in the Mexican economy. Many U.S.-based corporations also have operations and subsidiaries in Mexico, contributing to the stability and growth of the local economy.

While most Argentine stocks performed poorly, our large position in Siderca was a major positive contributor to the fund returns. This industrial company based in Argentina is a global leader in the manufacture of high quality steel pipes used to build gas pipelines and for other sophisticated applications. Its strong business helped the company escape the worst effects of the Argentine economic crisis. Most of Siderca’s operations are outside Argentina, while the devaluation of the Argentine currency helped Siderca’s export sales of pipes manufactured in Argentina.

Comparison of a $10,000 investment in Evergreen Precious Metals Fund Class A shares,2 versus a similar investment in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500), the Standard & Poor’s Metals and Mining Index (FT-SE Gold Mines) and the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The S&P 500 and the FT-SE Gold Mines are unmanaged market indexes and do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund expenses or any taxes. The CPI is a commonly used measure of inflation and does not represent an investment return. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.



CURRENT INVESTMENT STYLE1


Morningstar’s Style Box is based on a portfolio date as of 4/30/2002.

The Equity Style Box placement is based on a fund’s price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratio relative to the S&P 500, as well as the size of the companies in which it invests, or median market capitalization.

2 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The performance of each class may vary based on differences in loads, fees and expenses paid by the shareholders investing in each class. Performance includes the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance shown does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Historical performance shown for Classes A, C and I prior to their inception is based on the performance of Class B, the original class offered. The historical returns for Classes A and I have not been adjusted to reflect the effect of each class’ 12b-1 fee. These fees are 0.25% for Class A and 1.00% for Classes B and C. Class I does not pay a 12b-1 fee. If these fees had not been reflected, returns for Classes A and I would be higher.

Class I shares are only available to investment advisory clients of an investment advisor of an Evergreen fund (or the investment advisor’s affiliates), through special arrangements entered into on behalf of Evergreen funds with certain financial service firms, certain institutional investors and persons who owned Class Y shares in registered name in an Evergreen fund on or before December 31, 1994.

The fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without the vote of the fund’s shareholders.

Funds that concentrate their investments in a single industry may face an increased risk of price fluctuation over more diversified funds due to adverse developments within that industry.

Foreign investments may contain more risk due to the inherent risks associated with changing political climates, foreign market instability and foreign currency fluctuations. Risks of international investing are magnified in emerging or developing markets.

All data is as of April 30, 2002, and subject to change.

What was the investment environment like during the period?

Gold and other precious metals, including platinum, posted strong gains during the period, helping lift the prices of mining companies whose earnings are heavily leveraged by movements in commodity prices. Investors bid up the price of gold as a defensive maneuver as the U.S. dollar weakened in currency markets. Gold also became increasingly attractive as concerns grew about the risks of investing in global stock markets. The factors fueling investor anxiety about stocks and other alternative investments included uncertain prospects for growth, the Middle East crisis, the possibility of deflation, the financial crisis in Argentina, and the controversy surrounding the bankruptcy of Enron. In addition, Japanese governmental actions to facilitate national write-offs of bank loans encouraged the flow of money out of Japanese equities and into the gold market as a hedge against devaluation.

During the six months, the central banks in the United States and other developed nations kept short-term interest rates low to spur economic growth in the face of a global slowdown. The low rates discouraged speculators in the gold market to “short” the commodity by borrowing gold and selling it forward in hopes of a future decline in prices. Low rates tend to reduce the supply of gold in the world markets, changing the supply and demand dynamics in favor of higher prices.

What types of investments helped performance? Were there any disappointments?

Our decision not to hedge positions and to focus on mining companies with large reserves aided performance. Throughout the period, we emphasized stocks of Canadian mining companies, which tended to have the greatest ability to expand production as commodity prices rose. Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. and Meridian Gold, Inc. were among the best performing Canadian investments.

As the period progressed, we added to our investments in South Africa, a sector that also featured companies with strong leverage to earnings as the prices of gold and platinum climbed. South African companies such as Harmony Gold Mining, Ltd. tended to be highly profitable because of continued weakness of the South African rand, the national currency, which lowered the domestic costs of production.

Several small cap mining companies posted strong performance, including Randgold Resources, Inc., of South Africa and Repardre Capital Corp. of Canada

Among the disappointments were Canadian companies Barrick Gold Corp and Placer Dome, Inc., as well as AngloGold, Ltd., of South Africa. Barrick ran into difficulty

Fund at a Glance as of April 30, 2002


because of its large hedged position, while Placer Dome’s stock fell when mining production declined faster than anticipated. AngloGold performed poorly when its acquisition strategy resulted in a dilution in the value of its shares.

At the end of the period, investments in Canadian companies accounted for 40% of fund net assets, while 26% of net assets were invested in South African companies. All investments were in stocks of mining companies, rather than commodities. Approximately 88% of the investments were in gold-mining companies and 12% in platinum companies.

What is the investment outlook?

We believe the prices of gold and other precious metals should continue to perform well because of a confluence of factors. Gold prices are helped by the prospect that the Federal Reserve Board and other central banks will continue to keep short-term interest rates low in an effort to spur growth. At the same time, investors should see persistent value in gold as an alternative to equities because of the crisis in the Middle East, uncertainty about an economic recovery and the growing possibility of further weakening of the value of the U.S. dollar and the Japanese yen. Overall, the outlook is quite positive.

1. ORGANIZATION

The Evergreen Global and International Funds consist of Evergreen Emerging Markets Growth Fund (“Emerging Markets Growth Fund”), Evergreen Global Leaders Fund (“Global Leaders Fund”), Evergreen Global Opportunities Fund (“Global Opportunities Fund”), Evergreen International Bond Fund (“International Bond Fund”), Evergreen International Growth Fund (“International Growth Fund”), Evergreen Latin America Fund (“Latin America Fund”) and Evergreen Precious Metals Fund (“Precious Metals Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”). Emerging Markets Growth Fund, Global Leaders Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Growth Fund, Latin America Fund and Precious Metals Fund are each a diversified series of Evergreen International Trust. International Bond Fund is a diversified series of Evergreen Select Fixed Income Trust. Each trust is Delaware business trust organized on September 18, 1997 as an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The Funds offer Class I shares. In addition, Emerging Markets Growth Fund, Global Leaders Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Growth Fund, Latin America Fund and Precious Metals Fund all offer Class A, Class B, and Class C. Additionally, International Bond Fund offers Class IS shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Additionally, Class B and Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge, but pay a higher ongoing distribution fee than Class A and are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge that is payable upon redemption and decreases depending on how long the shares have been held. Class I and Class IS shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge; however, Class IS shares pay an ongoing distribution fee.

Effective at the close of business on May 11, 2001, Class Y shares of the Funds were renamed as Class I. This did not change the fee and expense structure of the Class Y shareholders or their rights and privileges.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments

Portfolio debt securities acquired with more than 60 days to maturity are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service which takes into consideration such factors as similar security prices, yields, maturities, liquidity and ratings. Securities for which valuations are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued by brokers which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market value obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics.

Listed equity securities are valued at the last sales price reported on the national securities exchange, where the securities are principally traded.

Foreign securities traded on an established exchange are valued at the last sales price on the exchange where the security is primarily traded. If there has been no sale, the securities are valued at the mean between bid and asked prices.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other mutual funds are valued at net asset value. Securities for which market quotations are not available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith, according to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

81


EVERGREEN
Global and International Funds
Combined Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)


B. Foreign Currency Translation

All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not separately account for that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on securities.

C. Futures Contracts

In order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in security values, the Funds may buy and sell futures contracts. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the funds and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.

Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts.

D. Foreign Currency Contracts

A foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Funds enter into foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to attempt to minimize the risk to the Funds from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. Foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate and marked-to-market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. The Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably.

E. Securities Lending

The Funds may lend their securities to certain qualified brokers in order to earn additional income. The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees or interest earned on the investment of any cash collateral received. The Funds receive collateral in the form of cash or securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan, including accrued interest. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Funds could experience delays and costs in recovering the loaned securities or in gaining access to the collateral.

F. Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are recorded no later than one business day after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific cost of the security sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or in the case of some foreign securities, on the date when the Fund is made aware of the dividend. Foreign income and capital gains realized on some securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable.

G. Federal Taxes

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income, including any net capital gains (which have already been offset by available capital loss carryovers). Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes is required.

H. Distributions

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

I. Class Allocations

Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Distribution and service fees, if any, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC (“EIMC”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation (“Wachovia”) (formerly First Union Corporation), is the investment advisor to the Funds and is paid a management fee that is calculated and paid daily. The management fee for the Global Leaders Fund and International Bond Fund are computed at an annual rate of 0.87% and 0.52%, respectively, of each fund’s average daily net assets.

The management fee for the remaining funds is computed by applying percentage rates, that decline as net assets increase, to the Fund’s average daily net assets as identified below:


Management
Fee Rate
Starts at:
and Declines

Increase to:

Emerging Markets Fund 1.42% 1.27%

International Growth Fund 0.66% 0.36%
Latin America Fund 0.66% 0.36%
Precious Metals Fund 0.66% 0.41%



Evergreen International Advisors, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia, is the investment sub-advisor to International Bond Fund and is paid by EIMC for its services to the Fund.

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the investment advisor waived fees of $41,752 for International Bond Fund which represented 0.14% of average net assets.

Evergreen Investment Services, Inc. (“EIS”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wachovia, is the administrator to the Funds. As administrator, EIS provides the Funds with facilities, equipment and personnel and is paid an administrative fee of 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

Evergreen Service Company, LLC (“ESC”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wachovia, is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds.

The Funds have placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that are affiliates of Wachovia. During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Funds incurred brokerage commissions as follows:

4. INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN SUBSIDIARY

Precious Metals (Bermuda) Ltd., a wholly-owned, unconsolidated foreign subsidiary of Precious Metals Fund, was acquired in May 1975 and has as its primary objective the acquisition of precious metals. The Fund accounts for its investments in the subsidiary under the equity method of accounting. At April 30, 2002, the fair value of the Fund’s investment in the foreign subsidiary was determined as follows:



Cash and cash equivalents $   957,412
Accrued expenses and other liabilities (45,290)
$   912,122



During the six months ended April 30, 2002 the foreign subsidiary had no purchases of precious metals or sales of precious metals. Investment activities of the foreign subsidiary resulted in gross investment income, general and administrative expenses, and net investment loss of $11,498, $15,846 and ($4,348), respectively. Management fees paid or accrued to EIMC totaled $1,773 during the six months ended April 30, 2002.

5. DISTRIBUTION PLANS

Evergreen Distributor, Inc. (“EDI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BISYS Fund Services, Inc., serves as principal underwriter to the Funds.

Each Fund has adopted Distribution Plans, as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, for each class of shares, except Class I. Under the Distribution Plans, distribution fees for each class are calculated and paid daily. These fees are 0.25% for Class A and Class IS, and 1.00% for Class B and Class C.

6. ACQUISITIONS

Effective on the close of business on August 3, 2001, Global Leaders Fund acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Evergreen Perpetual Global Fund in exchange for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of Global Leaders Fund.

On August 3, 2001, International Growth Fund acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Evergreen Perpetual International Fund in exchange for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of International Growth Fund.

Certain portions of the capital loss carryover of International Growth Fund were assumed as a result of the merger with Evergreen Perpetual International Fund.

9. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS

Through expense offset arrangements with ESC and their custodian, a portion of the fund expenses have been reduced. The amount of expense reductions received by each Fund and the impact of the total expense reductions on each Fund’s annualized expense ratio represented as a percentage of its average net assets were as follows:


Total Expense
Reductions

% of Average
Net Assets


Emerging Markets Growth Fund $   258 0.00%
Global Leaders Fund 2,235 0.00%
Global Opportunities Fund 999 0.00%
International Bond Fund 6,478 0.02%
International Growth Fund 8,758 0.00%
Latin America Fund 1,581 0.02%
Precious Metals Fund 441 0.00%



10. DEFERRED TRUSTEES’ FEES

Each independent Trustee of each Fund may defer any or all compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The Trustees’ deferred balances are allocated to deferral accounts, which are included in the accrued expenses for the Funds. The investment performance of the deferral accounts are based on the investment performance of certain Evergreen Funds. Any gains earned or losses incurred in the deferral accounts are reported in the Funds’ Trustees’ fees and expenses. At the election of the Trustees, the deferral account will be paid either in one lump sum or in quarterly installments for up to ten years.

11. FINANCING AGREEMENT

The Funds and certain other Evergreen Funds share in a $725 million unsecured revolving credit commitment to temporarily finance the purchase or sale of securities for prompt delivery, including funding redemption of their shares, as permitted by each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at 0.50% per annum above the Federal Funds rate. All of the Funds are charged an annual commitment fee of 0.10% of the unused balance, which is allocated pro rata. For its assistance in arranging the financing agreement, First Union Securities, Inc. was paid a one-time arrangement fee of $150,000, which was charged to the Funds and also allocated pro rata.

During the six months ended April 30, 2002, the Funds had average borrowings outstanding as follows:


Interest

Interest
Expense as a %

Daily Net Assets

International Bond Fund $1,010 0.00% $82,320 2.44%
International Growth Fund 19,918 0.00% 1,638,536 2.34%



12. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

The Funds may invest a substantial portion of their assets in an industry, sector or foreign country and, therefore, may be more affected by changes in that industry, sector or foreign country than would be a comparable mutual fund that is not heavily weighted in any industry, sector or foreign country.

13. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

As required, effective November 1, 2001, the Funds have adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Audits of Investment Companies, which amends certain accounting practices and disclosures, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Accordingly, the Funds began amortizing premium and accreting discount on all fixed-income securities.

Prior to November 1, 2001, each Fund was already complying with the accounting practice of amortizing premiums on its fixed-income securities. In addition, International Bond Fund was also following the accounting practice of accreting discounts on its fixed-income securities. All other Funds began the accounting practice of accreting discounts on November 1, 2001, although they did not hold any fixed-income securities. As a result, there is no cumulative effect to the financial statements as a result of implementing the new accounting policy. There is also no impact to current year financial statements.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective on the close of business on June 14, 2002, Emerging Markets Growth Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Latin America Fund in a tax-free exchange for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of Emerging Markets Growth Fund.
