PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

 
Dear Investor:
 
I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the Riggs Funds—Class R Shares and Class Y Shares—for the 12-month period from May 1, 2001 through April 30, 2002. It begins with an investment commentary by each portfolio manager, followed by a complete listing of holdings and the financial statements for each fund.
 
During the 12-month period, bonds continued to deliver positive returns, while money market fund returns declined with the decline in interest rates. Stocks, with the exception of the small cap sector, were weak. The negative returns that we have been experiencing, while painful, reflect the risk investors assume to pursue the long-term performance potential of stocks. For many investors, a price decline presents the opportunity to dollar-cost average or lower the average cost of their shares by purchasing additional shares at lower prices.*
 
The performance highlights of each fund are as follows.
 
Riggs Stock Fund
During the reporting period, the fund’s diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks—which included many household names—produced a total return of (17.75)%, or (19.38)% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee, for Class R Shares and (17.61)% for Class Y Shares.** These returns were the result of a decline in net asset value as the fund’s portfolio was impacted by the general decline in stock prices. Each share class paid a capital gain of $0.08 per share. The fund’s net assets totaled $53.5 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
As the most aggressive fund in the Riggs family, this fund invests in carefully selected stocks issued by small companies.*** During the reporting period, the fund produced a total return of 9.54%, or 7.54% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee, for Class R Shares and 9.79% for Class Y Shares. At the end of the reporting period, the fund’s net assets totaled $44.2 million.
 
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
This fund is managed to help investors pursue capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of the largest growth companies traded on U.S. stock markets. The 12-month reporting period was a particularly difficult one for the fund’s large-company growth stock holdings. As a result, Class R Shares recorded a negative total return of (35.76)%, or (37.04)% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee. Net assets in the fund totaled $15.9 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund
In a continued positive environment for bonds, this fund’s government bond portfolio paid dividends totaling $0.49 per share for Class R Shares, while its net asset value rose by $0.07. As a result, the fund produced a total return of 5.78%, or 3.78% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee. The fund’s Class Y Shares paid dividends totaling $0.52 per share, while the net asset value also rose by $0.07. As a result, Class Y Shares produced a total return of 6.04%. Net assets in the fund totaled $90.3 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Bond Fund
This fund is managed to help investors pursue a high level of current income through a portfolio of investment grade corporate bonds and government bonds. Class R Shares paid dividends totaling $0.52 per share, while the net asset value increased by $0.09. As a result, Class R Shares produced a total return of 5.54%, or 3.54% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee. Net assets in the fund totaled $29.6 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund
This fund is managed to help tax-sensitive investors pursue a high level of income free of federal income tax through a portfolio of intermediate-term, investment grade municipal bonds.† Class R Shares paid tax-free dividends totaling $0.41 per share, while the net asset value rose by $0.13. As a result, Class R Shares produced a total return of 5.37%, or 3.37% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee. Net assets in the fund totaled $56.3 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund
This fund is managed to help tax-sensitive investors pursue a high level of income free of federal income tax through a portfolio of long-term, investment grade municipal bonds. Class R Shares paid tax-free dividends totaling $0.43 per share and a capital gain of $0.10 per share, while the net asset value rose by $0.08. As a result, Class R Shares produced a total return of 6.02%, or 4.02% adjusted for the 2% redemption fee. Net assets in the fund totaled $48.4 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riggs Prime Money Market Fund
This fund helps shareholders earn daily income on their ready cash through a portfolio of high-quality money market securities. The fund’s Class R Shares paid dividends totaling $0.02 per share, and Class Y Shares paid dividends totaling $0.02 per share.†† The fund ended the reporting period with net assets of $274.3 million.

Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
As the most conservative Riggs fund, Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund invests exclusively in U.S. Treasury money market securities to help shareholders earn daily income on their ready cash. Over the reporting period, the fund’s portfolio paid a total of $0.02 per share in dividends for Class R Shares and $0.02 per share in dividends for Class Y Shares. Net assets in the fund totaled $124.8 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Thank you for pursuing your financial goals through the diversification and professional management of the Riggs Funds family.
 
We will continue to update you on the progress of your investment.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ Peter J. Germain

INVESTMENT REVIEW
 
Riggs Stock Fund
Riggs Small Company Stock Fund
During the annual reporting period from May 1, 2001 through April 30, 2002, the U.S. equity markets experienced tremendous volatility as the economy suffered its first recession in a decade. Large capitalization stocks bore the brunt of the downturn, with the S&P 500 Index declining 12.62%*. However, small capitalization stocks actually appreciated over this period, with the Russell 2000 Index gaining 6.80%**. Small cap stocks benefited from leverage to the improving economy as well as much more favorable valuations than large cap stocks. In fact, small cap stocks have been out-performing large cap stocks since 1999.
 
The Riggs Stock Fund generated a total return of (17.61)% for the year ended April 30, 2002 (Class Y shares). The Riggs Small Company Fund generated a total return of 9.79% for the same period (Class Y shares).
 
Across all market caps, cyclical stocks performed exceptionally well in anticipation of a strong economic recovery following an aggressive period of Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) monetary policy stimulus. Most surprisingly has been the resilience of the American consumer who has continued to spend voraciously, minimizing the effect of the economic slowdown and propelling consumer oriented stocks. Offsetting this has been a very weak corporate spending environment that has pressured the technology and telecommunications sectors.
 
As the dispersion between growth and value stock performance continues to widen, we plan to selectively add some of the more reasonably priced growth stocks to the portfolio as visibility improves on corporate spending priorities.
 
Our investment philosophy in managing both funds is to seek stocks selling at relatively attractive valuations and for which we believe earnings growth will prove sustainable. We emphasize companies that are (1) undergoing a significant restructuring, (2) introducing new products and services that are under-appreciated by the market, or (3) low cost suppliers or niche providers with dominant and/or growing market shares. We control risk in the portfolio by maintaining sector weights close to those of the benchmark and seek out-performance through stock selection.
 
Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund
During the annual reporting period from May 1, 2001 through April 30, 2002, the Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund experienced a return of (35.76)% vs. returns of (12.62)% for the S&P 500 and (20.23)% for the NASDAQ.
 
The September 11 attack on the World Trade Center caused a general deterioration in common stocks. With holdings such as American International Group, GE, IBM and Pfizer experiencing significant declines. IBM and GE are undergoing management transitions while the valuations of all four have been affected with “Enronitis”.
 
As of April 30th, we were maintaining 11.9% of the portfolio in cash as a defensive posture that affords investment opportunities in a volatile market.
 
Although the technology sector has experienced weakness, our holdings represent the strongest companies in the tech field. Currently, tech spending has not recovered and our holdings could experience short-term weakness. However, with a rebounding economy they should reflect long-term growth.
 
The portfolio is overweighed in healthcare stocks, given our view of good investment returns. We expect this field to produce handsome returns in the years ahead.
 
The fund reflects holdings in five consumer retailers that have experienced significant annual growth. Apollo, the leader in advanced adult education and Southwest Airlines, the most efficient airline in the nation are the most prominent examples.
 
The past two years have been difficult for investors seeking growth. However, we remain confident that good investments reflect stable long-term growth. The portfolio shows investment in companies that generally reflect our fundamental growth philosophy.
 
Riggs Bond Fund
Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund
The annual reporting period from May 1, 2001 through April 30, 2002, was a difficult period for the U.S. fixed income markets. The calendar year 2001 began with the Fed reducing the federal funds target rate 50 basis points in a surprise move on the second trading day of the year. This initial move was a foreshadowing of things to come as the Fed continued to aggressively ease throughout the course of the year. Historically, 2001 represented one of the Fed’s most aggressive easing cycles on record as they reduced rates 11 times for a total of 475 basis points. In spite of the aggressive action by the Fed, the U.S. economy slipped into a recession in March, led by continuing weaknesses in capital investment and manufacturing.
 
The volatility of 2001 was exacerbated by the tragedy of September 11. Prior to the 11th, the economy had begun to manifest signs of an economic recovery; however, after the 11th any indications of a recovery were dashed by the precipitous drop in consumption. One month later, on October 31st, the U.S. Treasury announced that they were suspending the issuance of the 30-year bond. This announcement led to a dramatic drop in long term rates, as the rate on the 30-year bond plunged below 4.66% on an intra-day basis. These systemic shocks resulted in extreme swings in volatility rendering any type of relative-value trade almost impossible.
 
During the first quarter of 2002, the effects of the Fed’s interest rate policy began to take hold, and the U.S. economy began to show signs of growth. The signs of this growth were clearly illustrated by the 5.8% increase in gross domestic product (“GDP”) during the first quarter. In lieu of this stronger economic data, the Fed shifted gears and adopted a neutral bias. Currently, the Fed is projected to begin tightening sometime late in the third quarter of 2002. Going forward, the year should be viewed as a “transitional” year. The primary issues will center on the stability of the economic recovery and when the Fed will begin to tighten. Riggs Investment Management Corp. will monitor the economic data and adjust the portfolios accordingly. Based upon the economic outlook, the portfolios should look to overweight higher quality issues and maintain neutral durations relative to the index.***

The signs of this growth were clearly illustrated by the 5.8% increase in GDP during the first quarter. In lieu of this stronger economic data, the Fed shifted gears and adopted a neutral bias. During the reporting period, municipals performed in line with their taxable counterparts. Demand for municipals was robust, as investors were willing to pay very aggressive levels for lower rated credits and specialty states. Currently, the Fed is projected to begin tightening sometime late in the third quarter of 2002. Going forward, the year should be viewed as a “transitional” year. The primary issues will center on the stability of the economic recovery and when the Fed will begin to tighten.
 
Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
Riggs Prime Money Market Fund
For the annual reporting period from May 1, 2001 to April 30, 2002, yields in the short end of the curve fell dramatically as the Fed eased rates a total of 475 basis points. The yield on the three-month Treasury bill was down 213 basis points to 1.76%, while the yield on the six-month Treasury bill was down 200 basis points to 1.89%. The Treasury discontinued the one-year bill auction in the fall of 2001. In the longer end of the market, the thirty-year Treasury was down only 15 basis points leading to the dramatic widening in the yield curve. The spread from two to thirty years went from +152 basis points to +237 basis points as of the end of April.
 
Commercial paper issuance has fallen in the last year due to corporations actively extending their debt profiles by issuing long term debt as opposed to commercial paper. Credit quality has become more of an issue following some high profile downgrades in the last year in names such as Ford, General Motors, John Deere and Tyco. Yields in the commercial paper and federal agency sectors of the market followed the Treasury market and were lower by over 200 basis points versus a year ago.
 
At the end of the reporting period, the average maturity of the Prime and Treasury Money Market Funds was slightly longer as we extended out the curve in order to pick-up additional yield. We will continue to look for opportunities to enhance the yield of the funds going forward when rates look attractive versus repurchase agreements. We will monitor the various sectors as well as the yield curve to find the best investments for the funds.

  **
 
The LBGCT is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. LBGCT is comprised of approximately 5,000 issues which include: non-convertible bonds publicly issued by the U.S. government or its agencies; corporate bonds guaranteed by the U.S. government and quasi-federal corporations; and publicly issued, fixed rate, non-convertible domestic bonds of companies in industry, public utilities, and finance. The average maturity of these bonds approximates nine years. Tracked by Lehman Brothers, Inc., the index calculates total returns for one-month, three-month, twelve-month, and ten-year periods and year-to-date. The index is unmanaged, and investments cannot be made in an index.

Total return quoted reflects all applicable sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges.

COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Riggs Funds
April 30, 2002
 
Organization
Riggs Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of nine diversified portfolios (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”), which are presented herein:
 
Portfolio Name

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
 
Previously, the Stock Fund and Small Company Stock Fund offered Class R, Class Y and Class B Shares, also the Large Cap Growth Fund offered Class R and Class B Shares. As of July 21, 2000, the Class B Shares for all three funds were no longer offered. All Class B Shares were converted to Class R Shares.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with GAAP.
 
Investment Valuations
U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds (other fixed income and asset-backed securities), and unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a primary national securities exchange. For the money market Funds within the Trust, the use of the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. For fluctuating net asset value Funds within the Trust, short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which there are no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
 
Repurchase Agreements
It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.
 
The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds’ adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Trustees. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions
Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes as required. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. The Funds (except Bond Fund, Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund and Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund) offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
 
Effective May 1, 2001, the Trust has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies, the U.S. Government Securities Fund and Bond Fund began accreting discount/amortizing premium on long-term debt securities and the Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund and Long Term Tax Free Fund began accreting discount on debt securities. The effect of this accounting change had no impact on total net assets of these Funds, but resulted in the following adjustments based on securities held by the funds on May 1, 2001:
 
    
Cost of Investments

      
Undistributed (distribution in excess of) Net Investment Income

The statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. For the Funds of the Trust not indicated above, the adoption of the guide did not have any effect on their financial statements.
 
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to book and tax differences. The following reclassifications have been made to the financial statements.

At year end, there were no significant differences between the GAAP basis and tax basis of components of net assets, other than differences in the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the value of investments attributable to the tax treatment of premium and discount and wash sales loss deferrals.
 
Federal Taxes
It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
 
At April 30, 2002, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes, which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve each Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:
 
Fund

  
Capital Loss Carryforward To Expire in 2003

  
Capital Loss Carryforward To Expire in 2005

    
Capital Loss Carryforward To Expire in 2006

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions
The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
 
Securities Lending
Under guidelines adopted by the Trustees, each Fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers/dealers and other financial organizations in order to generate additional income. Loans of portfolio securities by a Fund will be collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, which are maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. Collateral is either held as cash or reinvested in short-term securities

Riggs Funds

including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. The Funds return a portion of the interest on any cash received as collateral and continue to receive interest or dividends on securities loaned. Included in interest income is $1,150, $22,307, $32,301, $5,803, $1,778 and $12,873 for Stock Fund, Small Company Stock Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, Bond Fund, Prime Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, respectively, attributable to income earned on securities lending transactions.
 
Loans will be made to firms deemed by the Funds’ adviser to be of good financial standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of the Funds’ adviser, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities consist of possible decline in value of collateral, possible delays receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities or expenses from enforcing the Funds’ rights should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
 
As of April 30, 2002, the value of securities loaned plus interest, the payable on collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:

Change in Independent Auditors (Unaudited)
 
On April 12, 2002, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, upon the recommendation of the Board’s audit committee, determined not to retain Arthur Andersen LLP and approved a change of the Funds’ independent auditors to KPMG LLP. For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2001 and April 30, 2000, Arthur Andersen LLP’s audit reports contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion; nor were their reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Funds and Arthur Andersen LLP on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or audit scope or procedure, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen LLP would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their report.
 
Federal Income Tax Information (Unaudited)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Riggs Funds:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Riggs Stock Fund, Riggs Small Company Stock Fund, Riggs Large Cap Growth Fund, Riggs U.S. Government Securities Fund, Riggs Bond Fund, Riggs Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund, Riggs Long Term Tax Free Bond Fund, Riggs Prime Money Market Fund and Riggs U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, each a portfolio of the Riggs Funds (the “Funds”), as of April 30, 2002, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended April 30, 2001 and financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four-year period ended April 30, 2001 were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 8, 2001, expressed an unqualified opinion.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of April 30, 2002, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
