Dear Marshall Funds Shareholder,

Critics of the mutual fund industry are loudest in times like these. The markets are down and the economy’s direction is uncertain. The problems associated with opportunistic fund creation, loosely defined investment objectives, and ill-timed promotion of fund performance creates broad dissatisfaction of, and growing skepticism by, shareholders.

We are pleased with taking a different approach to investing with our clients and want to make sure you know that we offer many ways of delivering sound investment advice at M&I. In fact, we strongly recommend the use of any experienced financial adviser. If you have one, stick with them and seek their counsel during these times.

The vast majority of Marshall Fund shareholders, however, are shareholders because of M&I’s approach to meeting their investment needs. Whether you work directly with our Trust Portfolio Managers, M&I Financial Advisors, Marshall Funds Services or M&I 401-k Services, our approach is grounded in the fundamentals of investing.

These fundamentals include understanding your financial goals, learning your acceptance of the effects of market volatility on your portfolio, creating a broadly diversified portfolio of investments, and managing our Funds and similar investment services in a manner consistent with their names and investment objectives.

Our approach takes some of the mystery out of investing. While we cannot be certain of the short-term direction of the markets, we can avoid a number of current investor concerns.

If you are investing on your own, you may end up asking questions like the following. Why did I get caught up buying so many technology stocks? Why are all of my funds moving in tandem? Why aren’t my funds performing as expected in these markets? Have my funds remained true to their investment style? Do I have both growth and value styles working for me? Why don’t I own any bonds to reduce my portfolio volatility? Should I be invested entirely in the money market fund? M&I investment professionals are here to help you answer the questions that these markets create.

In volatile times, investors should not have to go it alone. We have built our organization by helping a wide range of investors reach their financial goals. We view our role as much more than just managing good investment products. Please do not hesitate to contact your M&I investment representative, or call us directly at 1-800-236-3863.

As always, we thank you for your investment in the Marshall Funds.

Sincerely,

/s/ John M. Blaser

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Equity Income Fund

The Marshall Equity Income Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and above-average dividend income through a conservative and disciplined approach of investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks with above-average dividend yields. The Fund’s investments are structured in an attempt to produce a portfolio that yields at least 100 basis points (1%) more than the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500).*

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 4.97% based on net asset value,** while the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index (LEIFI) returned 0.61% and the S&P 500 returned (17.84%).*

A Tug-of-War

Over the reporting period, the markets have been caught in a tug-of-war, pulled both by the benefits of falling interest rates and by the negative impact of declining corporate earnings in major sectors across the economy. Technology stocks continue to struggle, though the risk/reward balance among these stocks is improving as valuations become more reasonable.

Although the environment has been challenging in recent months, some of the building blocks of a recovery already seem to be falling into place. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) continues to cut interest rates, while the Bush Administration promotes its tax-cut plan to Congress. These two moves offer considerable economic stimulus, the benefits of which should become apparent in future months—even if not as quickly as many would like.

Much of the reason for the Fund’s outperformance relative to both its Lipper group and the S&P 500 is its position in defensive stocks. These include food, consumer staples, and drug stocks, which have gained some appeal through their more stable levels of earnings growth. Once high-flying sectors have tumbled as their ability to sustain and improve earnings has come into serious question.

Disciplined Style is the Key

In this environment, remaining true to our disciplined investing style is essential. We’re very excited, in fact, because after years of growth-driven markets, we are now in a period where value matters. And historically, shifts in growth versus value cycles have lasted for several years.

We’ve positioned this Fund in a way that we believe will allow it to do well regardless of which specific sectors do well. We keep the portfolio broadly diversified; rather than trying to make big bets on individual sectors, we focus on finding stocks in all sectors that have appealing characteristics. Among the factors we look for are attractive valuations, solid earnings sustainability, and potentially positive earnings revisions.

Looking forward, we anticipate that consumer cyclical stocks, including basic materials, chemical, and paper stocks, will be in a position to perform well as the economy begins to move toward recovery. In addition, capital goods stocks, such as Caterpillar and General Electric, could also contribute a favorable performance. Even some tech stocks, such as Hewlett-Packard and Motorola, show promise, as they currently trade at significant discounts to historic levels and offer greater potential for improving earnings than do some of their more speculative counterparts.

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Large-Cap Growth
& Income Fund

The Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies whose market capitalizations typically exceed $10 billion. The Adviser looks for companies that are typically leaders in their industry and have records of above-average financial performance and proven superior management.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of (17.65%) based on net asset value.* Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) returned (17.84%) and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index (LLCVFI) returned (5.20%).** Lipper categorizes the fund as “Large Value” because the technology growth stocks were under-weighted in the fund for a long time. The fund is managed as a large-cap core portfolio with the S&P 500 as its true benchmark.

Technology Out of Favor

The reporting period was marked by a dramatic slowing in corporate earnings, most notably in the technology sector. Investors quickly turned away from these stocks, driving their valuations sharply down. Early in the period, the Fund was underweighted in technology, but underperformed due to the cyclical nature of the companies held. Later in the period, those same names outperformed.

A Barbell Approach

The Fund is currently positioned in most of the important industry sectors within the stock market, and mostly focuses on those companies exhibiting growth characteristics.

We are balancing our technology weighting against more defensive holdings such as health care, financials and consumer staples. In recent months, we have added to our position in selected technology stocks, taking advantage of the values now available in the market due to the corrections some of these stocks have suffered. We are now overweighted in technology relative to the S&P 500, emphasizing those technology companies that offer relatively low degrees of earnings risk and selling at historically low valuations versus the overall market.

On the other end of the barbell, the Fund continues to hold large positions in defensive sectors such as health care, pharmaceuticals, consumer nondurables, and financial services.

Looking Forward

As the economy works its way through this historical slowdown in earnings, it will become more timely to increase exposure to the more economically sensitive areas of the market, although this may take some time.

Sincerely,

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund

The Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies similar in size to those within the Standard & Poor’s Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400).* The Adviser generally selects companies that exhibit traditional value characteristics, such as low price/earnings ratios, higher-than-average dividend yields, or a lower-than-average price/book value. In addition, companies that have underappreciated assets, or have been involved in company turnarounds or corporate restructurings, often have strong value characteristics.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 17.64% based on net asset value.** For the same period, the S&P 400 returned (7.95%), while the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index (LMCVFI) returned 1.14%.*

The turnaround in value stocks we discussed in our previous report was magnified in the most recent six-month period. During the past six months, the Fund has benefited as investors have retreated from the troubled technology sector (a sector we have underweighted) and moved more forcefully into more defensive sectors, such as health care, energy, and financial services. These are areas that we had significant positions in, as they were consistent with our value approach to investing.

Why Value Succeeded

During the six-month reporting period, there has in essence been a race between declining interest rates and declining corporate profitability: the Federal Reserve has sought to ease interest rates at a pace sufficient to overcome the impact of slowing economic growth on corporate profitability. Through February, however, earnings were still declining, and in fact appeared to be accelerating downward. The impact of this earnings downturn on technology stocks has been particularly devastating, as these stocks entered the period with quite high valuations.

This Fund outperformed largely because we stayed true to our value discipline; we weren’t lured away by more glamorous Internet and other technology stocks. In fact, we believe this firm dedication to the value style largely drove our strong outperformance of our Lipper group average.

Looking Ahead

Clearly we are in the midst of a challenging investment environment. We do expect, however, that we should begin to see positive effects from the Fed’s interest rate cuts. Investor psychology should begin to shed some of its current gloom, and corporate earnings should begin to pull out from their declines.

In this type of environment, value stocks such as basic materials, capital goods, and financial services have historically tended to perform well, and we maintain sufficient weightings in these areas. In addition, while technology is not generally considered a value sector, we are identifying some tech companies that could be poised for recovery as the economic slowdown winds down, and the economy begins to regain strength.

Consistent with our bottom-up approach to investing, we are not strongly favoring any sector or sectors. And while we anticipate that the Fed’s activity will have a positive impact on the economy in the coming months, we are not attempting to predict the timing or degree of that recovery. Rather, we are dedicated to our disciplined approach for selecting individual stocks, regardless of category, that we believe have strong potential to appreciate over the next few years.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

/s/ Matthew B. Fahey

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund

The Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks with market capitalizations within the Standard & Poor’s Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400).*

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of (31.48%) based on net asset value,** compared with (36.09%) for the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index (LMCGFI) and (7.95%) for the S&P 400.*

During the six-month reporting period, the market has broadened as investors continue to exit technology and telecommunications holdings. Diminished revenue and earnings visibility for technology shares had investors returning to old economy segments including cyclicals, retailers, and financials. However, in light of the sharp rotation, new market leadership has not emerged. We believe that the best approach to this type of environment is our bottom-up style of investing.

Positioned for a Challenging Environment

The current business and market conditions have led us to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we have sought companies with greater revenue and earnings visibility. Companies in this group range from transaction processors to cable companies. On the other hand, we continue to hold companies with greater growth opportunities and increasingly attractive valuations.

One company that we believe satisfies both criteria is Tetra Tech, Inc. Tetra Tech is an engineering company focused on three distinct markets. The company’s environmental business accounts for nearly half of revenues. This business has produced solid single digit growth with great long range visibility, as much of the work is done for the federal government. The remainder of the business is in the communications and power markets. These markets have provided strong double digit organic growth. Tetra Tech should maintain its trend of greater than 20% revenue and earnings growth for the foreseeable future.

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund

The Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of small-capitalization companies* similar in size to those within the Russell 2000 Index (Russell 2000).**

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of (30.43%) based on net asset value.*** Over the same period, the Russell 2000 returned (11.17%), and the Lipper Small-Cap Funds Index (LSCFI) returned (22.33%).** The Fund’s performance was in line with that of our Lipper peer group, but its underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 reflects that index’s significantly lower technology weighting.

Consumer Exposure Increased

Prior to October 2000, the Fund was significantly over-weighted towards technology holdings. When we began managing the Fund in October, we began to reduce the fund’s technology exposure, and began replacing those holdings with consumer stocks that are not as sensitive to the decelerating U.S. economy. Consumer stocks now make up about 30% of the portfolio, including approximately 10% of assets in retail stocks. We are favoring selected retail stocks because growth in consumer spending is typically necessary to resume economic growth—and as this spending begins to climb, retailers are the first to benefit. Other consumer areas we’re investing in are leisure-oriented stocks, such as health club operators, video-game producers, and gaming companies.

Energy now represents about 10% of fund assets, a position that reflects an increase from six months ago but is actually down a bit from earlier this calendar year. These stocks have performed relatively well, buoyed by rising commodity prices. As they have become more fully valued, we have trimmed these holdings back to the 10% level. Also representing about 10% of fund assets are financial stocks, which we believe are positioned to benefit from a declining interest-rate environment.

Technology Exposure Reduced, But Still Significant

Although we have greatly reduced the Fund’s weighting in technology, that doesn’t mean we have entirely turned away from the sector. Technology stocks currently account for about 25% of fund assets, down from a high of over 50% during 2000. One change in our stock selection criteria is that we have become increasingly sensitive to valuations of technology stocks. While we continue to invest in market leaders, we are attracted to companies that also offer more downside protection due to strong balance sheets.

We continue to believe that technology stock selection and weighting will play a critical role in the long-term performance of the Fund. We are currently not convinced that technology stocks have bottomed, as inventory issues in key sectors (i.e. semiconductors, telecommunications equipment) have yet to be worked through the system. Once it appears to us that technology inventory issues have or will be resolved, and assuming worldwide demand remains strong, we will move to add to our technology weighting.

Continued Growth Stock Focus

Although we have become more sensitive to valuations in the stocks we’re buying, we remain growth investors. We remain steadfast in our belief that prudent investments in smaller capitalization, growth-oriented stocks will result in strong long-term risk-adjusted returns.

Sincerely,

/s/ Sean McLeod

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall International Stock Fund

The Marshall International Stock Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies of any size outside the United States.* The Fund uses a value-oriented approach and invests in companies that appear to be selling at a discount to their global industry peers.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the fund provided a total return of (19.22%) based on net asset value,** compared with a total return of (14.32%) by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (EAFE) and (15.46%) for the Lipper International Funds Index (LIFI).*** This poor absolute performance was seen around the globe in equity markets from Japan to North America. The main factors driving equities down during this period were expectations of weak corporate profits and a contraction in the valuation multiples assigned to large-cap stocks. Both of these factors played a role in the underperformance of the fund.

Technology Stocks Remain Out of Favor

Similar to the last reporting period, volatility dominated the markets as investors questioned the earnings ability of corporations while at the same time looked for signs that the economy was stabilizing. During this reporting period, the Fund was underweighted in the technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) sectors. The business fundamentals within each group continued to deteriorate as issues of overcapacity and lower profitability remained in the market. While the valuation multiples within the TMT sectors have come down substantially, we are not yet convinced that those stocks are cheap enough to be good long-term buys.

Unfortunately, the Fund did not benefit from its overweight positions in financials, consumer staples, and industrials. These sectors were also hurt as the market began to question their profit expectations as well. While these sectors have a more defensive nature, no sector was spared from the significant reduction in valuation multiples of large-cap multi-national corporations. We continue to believe that a more defensive position for the portfolio is appropriate during these times of corporate profit warnings, falling consumer confidence and poor economic conditions.

Pockets of Opportunity

Areas where we are finding new opportunities include stocks within the consumer discretionary and health care sectors. We have identified several leisure and hotel stocks that are market leading, highly profitable, well-managed organizations that are trading at attractive valuations relative to their global peers. At the same time we are taking advantage of the decline in some pharmaceutical stocks that have excellent growth prospects, thus increasing our weighting in this sector.

While the duration and magnitude of the global economic slowdown are uncertain, we continue to focus our efforts on identifying high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages that are attractively valued relative to their global industry peers.

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Government Income Fund

The Marshall Government Income Fund invests in securities issued by the United States government and its agencies and instrumentalities, particularly mortgage-related securities. The Adviser considers macroeconomic conditions and uses credit and market analysis in developing the overall portfolio strategy. Current and historical interest rate relationships are used to evaluate market sectors and individual securities. The Fund will generally maintain an average dollar-weighted maturity of four to 12 years.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 5.95% based on net asset value,* compared with a return of 6.68% for the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Index (LUSMI) and a 7.19% return by the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (LMI).**

Interest Rates Moving Down

Although the Fed’s move to lower short-term rates did not come until early 2001, interest rates across the yield curve actually moved lower in late 2000, anticipating the Fed’s moves.

The reason for the downward drift in interest rates—and the Fed’s actions this year—was the perception of a dramatic slowdown in the economy, coming off an extended period of very high growth. Manufacturing has slowed dramatically, and the major stock indices saw their levels decline significantly. Consumer confidence similarly dropped, slowing spending. Inflation has remained tame, allowing the Fed to cut rates with little fear of sparking a significant hike in consumer prices.

We had not fully anticipated how quickly interest rates would drop, and therefore we had adopted a shorter-duration stance. This cautious approach was positive from an income standpoint, as our shorter securities paid attractive yields, but limited our exposure to capital appreciation opportunities on the long end of the yield curve as rates fell.

Mortgage-Backed Dynamics

Declining interest rates can spark prepayment concerns for mortgage-backed bonds, as borrowers seek to refinance at lower rates. While the possibility of prepayments is a risk, we believe it’s important to remember that mortgage rates aren’t tightly tied to the Fed Funds rate. Even if the Fed continues to cut the Fed Funds rate, as seems likely, mortgage rates, which bear greater relation to yields on 10-year Treasuries, are not likely to decline to as great a degree.

We are adding to the Fund’s holdings in mortgage pass-throughs, using them to replace agency debentures and Treasuries. We believe these bonds can help us to achieve a higher degree of income. We believe that a further decline in interest rates and increasing prepayments have already been priced into these bonds, giving them attractive yields now and the potential for capital appreciation relative to Treasuries down the road.

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund

The Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund invests in intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and United States government securities. The Adviser’s strategy to pursue total return is to adjust the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate, using macroeconomic, credit, and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund will maintain an average dollar-weighted maturity of three to 10 years.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 5.45% based on net asset value,* compared with a return of 6.34% for the Lipper Short/Intermediate Investment Grade Bond Funds Index (LSIBF) and a 7.36% return by Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index (LGCI).** Bond returns were strong as interest rates fell in response to a slowing economy.

The slowdown that has hit the U.S. economy was followed by severe stock market volatility, and in time led the Fed to cut interest rates early in 2001. A factor weighing on economic growth is an inventory build-up, the result of overly optimistic growth forecasts. Although this has certainly had an impact on the manufacturing sector, we are not sure that this is as gloomy for the overall economy as some may believe. The U.S. has evolved into more of a service economy—and thus far service sectors have not been hit as hard by the slowdown.

Focus on Quality and Diversification

That said, there is still the risk that the economy will continue to slow, and in the meantime the stock market volatility creates a difficult environment for corporate bonds. Despite a rally in January, spreads between corporate bonds and Treasuries have remained wide. We continue to emphasize credit quality, and when we can, we’re selling lower-rated bonds and replacing them with higher-quality issues. Given the economic climate, it’s possible we could see a greater rate of default on corporate debt, so it behooves investors at this time to pay extra attention to credit analysis. We do believe that high-quality, carefully researched corporates offer attractive prospects for total return going forward. We are therefore adding to our high-quality corporate exposure, leaning toward shorter-duration issues.

We’re also seeking to manage risk by increasing the Fund’s level of diversification. We have added mortgage-backed bonds to the portfolio. In the face of declining interest rates, fears of pre-payment (the result of borrowers refinancing their mortgages) have cheapened the valuation of these bonds. We think the markets have more than priced in potential pre-payments and think these bonds are attractive.

Although we don’t expect to see the rates of growth seen in recent years, that doesn’t mean that the economy is certain to spiral downward. After the current situation shakes itself out, we anticipate seeing growth proceed at a slower, steadier rate. Even with the recent slowing, the overall level of economic activity remains relatively high.

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Short-Term Income Fund

The Marshall Short-Term Income Fund seeks to maximize total return consistent with current income. Fund assets are invested in short- to intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and U.S. government securities. The Adviser changes the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate and uses macroeconomic, credit, and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted maturity of six months to three years.

Fund Performance

For the period from the fund’s inception on October 31, 2000 through February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 4.19% based on net asset value,* versus a 4.15% return for the Lipper Short-Term Investment Grade Bond Fund Index (LSTIBI) and a 4.24% return for the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Government/ Corporate Index (ML13).**

Over the reporting period, the pace of U.S. economic growth slowed, with deep repercussions on Wall Street as stock-market volatility re-ignited. In January, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in an effort to support economic growth, though benefits from these moves were not immediately felt. It’s our belief that more than the slowing economy was responsible for the market’s decline; the excessive valuations that many stocks in certain sectors had experienced in recent years made them highly vulnerable to a correction.

Despite recent difficulties, we don’t see all gloom and doom ahead for the U.S. economy. While the manufacturing sector has suffered, the service industries that make up a great deal of the U.S. economy have not been so hard hit.

Corporate Bonds Feel the Impact

The uncertain environment for U.S. stocks has a direct, negative effect on the corporate bond market. Although corporates (especially lower-quality bonds, which we generally avoid) enjoyed a brief rally in January, for the most part the spread between corporate yields and Treasury yields has remained wide. We are heightening our focus on credit quality, seeking to replace lower-rated issues in the portfolio with higher-quality debt. We believe this is a prudent move, as even a brief economic slump can increase the rate of corporate default. Despite this element of caution, we believe that high-quality corporate bonds offer very attractive potential. Credit analysis is key in our selection process, and we are leaning toward the shorter end of the duration spectrum.† This emphasis on higher-quality issues benefited performance over the period.

Another way we’re managing over the somewhat challenging terrain is to increase the Fund’s level of diversification, both in terms of number and type of issues. Mortgage-backed issues are taking a significant place in the portfolio for the first time in awhile. We believe these bonds offer attractive values; their valuations have been pushed down by investors concerned that declining interest rates will lead to a greater rate of pre-payment on these issues.

It’s not very likely that the economy will return to the heady rates of growth it experienced in recent years, but that hardly means it is destined for disaster. When the dust settles, we anticipate that the economy will return to a slower, steadier—and perhaps more sustainable—rate. We are encouraged by the fact that, despite recent setbacks, economic activity remains at a reasonably high level.

Sincerely,

/s/ Mark D. Pittman

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Money Market Fund

The Marshall Money Market Fund invests in high-quality, short-term money market instruments.* The Adviser uses a bottom-up approach, meaning that the fund manager looks primarily at individual securities against the context of broader market factors.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 2.95%.** This compares with a return of 2.91% for the Money Fund Report Averages™ and 2.93% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Index.*** As of February 28, 2001, the Fund’s 7-day net yield was 5.27%.†

Fed Moves Rates Downward

With the Fed beginning to move the Fed Funds rate down in January, money market rates have necessarily dropped accordingly. The question that remains in the marketplace is how much further the Fed will have to ease rates in order to spark some economic growth. Whereas many observers earlier believed that cutting the Fed Funds rate to 5.0% would be sufficient, there is now growing consensus that a cut to as low as 4.0% may ultimately be necessary.

It won’t be certain how far the Fed will need to cut rates until there is a clearer picture of just how much the economy has slowed. Once we had a wealth effect, with consumer spending spurred by the significant growth individuals were enjoying in their stock portfolios. Now that those same people are seeing their equity holdings lose value, it remains to be seen to what degree they will change their spending habits. Another drag on the economy is the electric power crisis in the state of California; when problems hit such a large contributor to the U.S. economy, it’s almost inevitable that the repercussions will be felt throughout the economy as a whole.

Some Signs are Positive

Despite widespread economic concerns, some indicators have been more positive than expected. For example, February auto and home sales exceeded forecasts. So it remains possible that the Fed will not need to make drastic rate cuts to stimulate the economy, particularly if tax cuts are put in place.

In this evolving environment, money market funds have proven a popular alternative with many investors. Many money market funds—including this one—are experiencing significant asset growth.

We are selectively adding longer fixed-rate paper to the portfolio as the Fed eases rates, allowing us to maintain a higher yield. We are, however, seeking to keep the fund’s maturity near the industry average of about 40 days. Supply of money market securities has been somewhat constrained, as issuers delay issuing new paper in anticipation of Fed rate cuts (which would reduce the yield they must pay on their securities). This tight supply situation is exacerbated by the strong investor demand for money market investments. We are still purchasing floating-rate notes as they become available. These notes still make up the bulk of the portfolio, at about 36% of assets. Funding agreements and master notes, which are similar to floaters, make up another 23% of the portfolio.

We anticipate that the environment over the next several months will be about the same as it is now, with tight money market supply as issuers await further Fed rate cuts. The state of the economy and, to a lesser degree, the equity markets, will determine when the Fed will act and to what extent.

Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

        Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation consists of eleven diversified portfolios (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”) ten of which are presented herein:

Portfolio Name
   Investment Objective
Marshall Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”)    To provide capital appreciation and above-average
dividend income.
Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund
(“Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund”)
   To provide capital appreciation and income.
Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value Fund”)    To provide capital appreciation.
Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund (“Mid-Cap Growth Fund”)    To provide capital appreciation.
Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund (“Small-Cap Growth Fund”)    To provide capital appreciation.
Marshall International Stock Fund (“International Stock Fund”)    To provide capital appreciation.
Marshall Government Income Fund (“Government Income Fund”)    To provide current income.
Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate Bond Fund”)    To maximize total return consistent with current income.
Marshall Short-Term Income Fund (“Short-Term Income Fund”)    To maximize total return consistent with current income.
Marshall Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”)    To provide current income consistent with stability
of principal.

        The Funds are offered in two classes of shares: Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares. Effective October 31, 2000, Short-Term Income Fund began offering a second class of shares, Advisor Class of Shares. Money Market Fund and International Stock Fund are offered in three classes of shares: Investor Class of Shares, Advisor Class of Shares and Institutional Class of Shares. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Financial Highlights of Investor Class of Shares and Institutional Class of Shares of the Funds are presented in separate semi-annual reports.

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. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        Investment Valuations—Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. 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. Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Money Market Fund’s 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 Corporation, short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 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 no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”).

        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, including accrued interest.

        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 (or sub-advisor with respect to International Stock Fund) to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Directors. 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. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). 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 market value. The Funds offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expense 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.

Marshall Funds 

        In November 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued a revised version of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the “Guide”). The Guide is effective for annual financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. Management of the Fund does not anticipate that the adoption of the Guide will have a significant effect on the financial statements.

        Federal Taxes—It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary.

        Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the International Stock Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

        At August 31, 2000, 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 listed below:

        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.

        Futures Contracts—Equity Income Fund, Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Small-Cap Growth Fund purchase stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

        At February 28, 2001, Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Small-Cap Growth Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

        Written Options Contracts—Equity Income Fund may write option contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver a call, or to receive a put, for the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund had $594,366 in realized gains on written options.

        Foreign Exchange Contracts—International Stock Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of the Fund’s foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency denominated securities will decline in value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign currency exchange contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. As of February 28, 2001, International Stock Fund had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

        Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records of International Stock Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FCs”) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

        Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

        Dollar Roll Transactions—The Funds, except for Money Market Fund, may enter into dollar roll transactions, with respect to mortgage securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, in which the Funds loan mortgage securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agree to accept substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions are short-term financing arrangements which will not exceed twelve months. The Funds will use the proceeds generated from the transactions to invest in short-term investments, which may enhance the Funds’ current yield and total return.

        Securities Lending—The Funds participate in a securities lending program providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity and government securities to qualified brokers. The Funds receive cash as collateral in return for the

Marshall Funds 

securities and record a corresponding payable for collateral due to the respective broker. The amount of cash collateral received is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the prior day’s market value on securities loaned. Collateral is reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. The Funds reimburse the custodian for the costs directly associated with the Funds’ participation in the securities lending program.

        As of February 28, 2001, the value of securities loaned, the payable on collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:

     Payable on Collateral

        Restricted Securities—Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Directors. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined by the Funds’ pricing committee.

        Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

4.    Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

        Investment Adviser Fee—Marshall & Ilsley (“M&I”) Investment Management Corp., the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as listed below. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.


Fund
     Annual Rate
Equity Income Fund      0.75%
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund      0.75%
Mid-Cap Value Fund      0.75%
Mid-Cap Growth Fund      0.75%
Small-Cap Growth Fund      1.00%
International Stock Fund      1.00%
Government Income Fund      0.75%
Intermediate Bond Fund      0.60%
Short-Term Income Fund      0.60%
Money Market Fund      0.15%

        International Stock Fund’s sub-adviser is BPI Global Asset Management LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of International Stock Fund.

        Administrative Fee—M&I Trust Company, under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to M&I Trust Company is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Corporation for the period except for Small-Cap Growth Fund, which is based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Federated Administrative Services (“FAS”) is the sub-administrator and will be paid by M&I Trust Company, not by the Funds.

        Effective September 15, 2000, M&I Trust changed its administrative fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:

 


Maximum Fee
     Fund’s ADNA
0.100%       on the first $250 million
0.095%       on the next $250 million
0.080%       on the next $250 million
0.060%       on the next $250 million
0.040%       on the next $500 million
0.020%      on assets in excess of $1.5 billion

        Distribution Services Fee—The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (“FSC”), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares. The Plan provides that the Funds may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares (except Money Market Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares which may accrue up to 0.30%) annually, to compensate FSC.

        Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Marshall Funds Investor Services (“MFIS”), each Fund will pay MFIS up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares for the period. The fee paid to MFIS is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. MFIS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. MFIS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. Effective April 1, 2000, the Money Market Fund changed its shareholder service fee from 0.02% to 0.25%.

        Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses—Federated Services Company (“FServ”), through its subsidiary, Federated Shareholder Services Company (“FSSC”), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.

53


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

        Portfolio Accounting Fees—FServ maintains the Funds’ accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. FServ may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee.

        Custodian Fees—M&I Trust Company is the Funds’ custodian. M&I Trust Company receives fees based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period. The custodian also charges a fee in connection with securities lending activities of the Funds.

        Organizational Expenses—Organizational expenses were borne initially by FAS. The Funds have reimbursed FAS for these expenses. These expenses have been deferred and are being amortized over the five-year period following each Fund’s effective date. For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Funds expensed the following pursuant to this agreement:

Dear Marshall Funds Shareholder,

Critics of the mutual fund industry are loudest in times like these. The markets are down and the economy’s direction is uncertain. The problems associated with opportunistic fund creation, loosely defined investment objectives, and ill-timed promotion of fund performance creates broad dissatisfaction of, and growing skepticism by, shareholders.

We are pleased with taking a different approach to investing with our clients and want to make sure you know that we offer many ways of delivering sound investment advice at M&I. In fact, we strongly recommend the use of any experienced financial adviser. If you have one, stick with them and seek their counsel during these times.

The vast majority of Marshall Fund shareholders, however, are shareholders because of M&I’s approach to meeting their investment needs. Whether you work directly with our Trust Portfolio Managers, M&I Financial Advisors, Marshall Funds Services or M&I 401-k Services, our approach is grounded in the fundamentals of investing.

These fundamentals include understanding your financial goals, learning your acceptance of the effects of market volatility on your portfolio, creating a broadly diversified portfolio of investments, and managing our Funds and similar investment services in a manner consistent with their names and investment objectives.

Our approach takes some of the mystery out of investing. While we cannot be certain of the short-term direction of the markets, we can avoid a number of current investor concerns.

If you are investing on your own, you may end up asking questions like the following. Why did I get caught up buying so many technology stocks? Why are all of my funds moving in tandem? Why aren’t my funds performing as expected in these markets? Have my funds remained true to their investment style? Do I have both growth and value styles working for me? Why don’t I own any bonds to reduce my portfolio volatility? Should I be invested entirely in the money market fund? M&I investment professionals are here to help you answer the questions that these markets create.

In volatile times, investors should not have to go it alone. We have built our organization by helping a wide range of investors reach their financial goals. We view our role as much more than just managing good investment products. Please do not hesitate to contact your M&I investment representative, or call us directly at 1-800-236-3863.

As always, we thank you for your investment in the Marshall Funds.

Sincerely,

/s/ John M. Blaser

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Equity Income Fund

The Marshall Equity Income Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and above-average dividend income through a conservative and disciplined approach of investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks with above-average dividend yields. The Fund’s investments are structured in an attempt to produce a portfolio that yields at least 100 basis points (1%) more than the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500).*

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 4.97%,** while the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index (LEIFI) returned 0.61% and the S&P 500 returned (17.84%).*

A Tug-of-War

Over the reporting period, the markets have been caught in a tug-of-war, pulled both by the benefits of falling interest rates and by the negative impact of declining corporate earnings in major sectors across the economy. Technology stocks continue to struggle, though the risk/reward balance among these stocks is improving as valuations become more reasonable.

Although the environment has been challenging in recent months, some of the building blocks of a recovery already seem to be falling into place. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) continues to cut interest rates, while the Bush Administration promotes its tax-cut plan to Congress. These two moves offer considerable economic stimulus, the benefits of which should become apparent in future months—even if not as quickly as many would like.

Much of the reason for the Fund’s outperformance relative to both its Lipper group and the S&P 500 is its position in defensive stocks. These include food, consumer staples, and drug stocks, which have gained some appeal through their more stable levels of earnings growth. Once high-flying sectors have tumbled as their ability to sustain and improve earnings has come into serious question.

Disciplined Style is the Key

In this environment, remaining true to our disciplined investing style is essential. We’re very excited, in fact, because after years of growth-driven markets, we are now in a period where value matters. And historically, shifts in growth versus value cycles have lasted for several years.

We’ve positioned this Fund in a way that we believe will allow it to do well regardless of which specific sectors do well. We keep the portfolio broadly diversified; rather than trying to make big bets on individual sectors, we focus on finding stocks in all sectors that have appealing characteristics. Among the factors we look for are attractive valuations, solid earnings sustainability, and potentially positive earnings revisions.

Looking forward, we anticipate that consumer cyclical stocks, including basic materials, chemical, and paper stocks, will be in a position to perform well as the economy begins to move toward recovery. In addition, capital goods stocks, such as Caterpillar and General Electric, could also contribute a favorable performance. Even some tech stocks, such as Hewlett-Packard and Motorola, show promise, as they currently trade at significant discounts to historic levels and offer greater potential for improving earnings than do some of their more speculative counterparts.

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

 

Marshall Large-Cap Growth
& Income Fund

The Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies whose market capitalizations typically exceed $10 billion. The Adviser looks for companies that are typically leaders in their industry and have records of above-average financial performance and proven superior management.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of (17.65%).* Over the same time period, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) returned (17.84%) and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index (LLCVFI) returned (5.20%).** Lipper categorizes the Fund as “Large Value” because the technology growth stocks were underweighted in the Fund for a long time. The Fund is managed as a large-cap core portfolio with the S&P 500 as its true benchmark.

Technology Out of Favor

The reporting period was marked by a dramatic slowing in corporate earnings, most notably in the technology sector. Investors quickly turned away from these stocks, driving their valuations sharply down. Early in the period, the Fund was underweighted in technology, but underperformed due to the cyclical nature of the companies held. Later in the period, those same names outperformed.

A Barbell Approach

The Fund is currently positioned in most of the important industry sectors within the stock market, and mostly focuses on those companies exhibiting growth characteristics.

We are balancing a technology weighting against more defensive holdings such as health care, financials and consumer staples. In recent months, we have added to our position in selected technology stocks, taking advantage of the values now available in the market due to the corrections some of these stocks have suffered. We are now overweighted in technology relative to the S&P 500, emphasizing those technology companies that offer relatively low degrees of earnings risk and selling at historically low valuations versus the overall market.

On the other end of the barbell, the Fund continues to hold large positions in defensive sectors such as health care, pharmaceuticals, consumer nondurables, and financial services.

Looking Forward

As the economy works its way through this historical slowdown in earnings, it will become more timely to increase exposure to the more economically sensitive areas of the market, although this may take some time.

 

Sincerely,

The Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies similar in size to those within the Standard & Poor’s Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400).* The Adviser generally selects companies that exhibit traditional value characteristics, such as low price/earnings ratios, higher-than-average dividend yields, or a lower-than-average price/book value. In addition, companies that have underappreciated assets, or have been involved in company turnarounds or corporate restructurings, often have strong value characteristics.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 17.64%.** For the same period, the S&P 400 Index returned (7.95%), while the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index (LMCVFI) returned 1.14%.*

The turnaround in value stocks we discussed in our previous report was magnified in the most recent six-month period. During the past six months, the Fund has benefited as investors have retreated from the troubled technology sector (a sector we have underweighted) and moved more forcefully into more defensive sectors, such as health care, energy, and financial services. These are areas that we had significant positions in, as they were consistent with our value approach to investing.

Why Value Succeeded

During the six-month reporting period, there has in essence been a race between declining interest rates and declining corporate profitability: the Federal Reserve has sought to ease interest rates at a pace sufficient to overcome the impact of slowing economic growth on corporate profitability. Through February, however, earnings were still declining, and in fact appeared to be accelerating downward. The impact of this earnings downturn on technology stocks has been particularly devastating, as these stocks entered the period with quite high valuations.

This Fund outperformed largely because we stayed true to our value discipline; weren’t lured away by more glamorous Internet and other technology stocks. In fact, we believe this firm dedication to the value style largely drove our strong outperformance of our Lipper group average.

Looking Ahead

Clearly we are in the midst of a challenging investment environment. We do expect, however, that we should begin to see positive effects from the Fed’s interest rate cuts. Investor psychology should begin to shed some of its current gloom, and corporate earnings should begin to pull out from their declines.

In this type of environment, value stocks such as basic materials, capital goods, and financial services have historically tended to perform well, and we maintain sufficient weightings in these areas. In addition, while technology is not generally considered a value sector, we are identifying some tech companies that could be poised for recovery as the economic slowdown winds down, and the economy begins to regain strength.

Consistent with our bottom-up approach to investing, we are not strongly favoring any sector or sectors. And while we anticipate that the Fed’s activity will have a positive impact on the economy in the coming months, we are not attempting to predict the timing or degree of that recovery. Rather, we are dedicated to our disciplined approach for selecting individual stocks, regardless of category, that we believe have strong potential to appreciate over the next few years.

Thank you for your support.

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund

The Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks with market capitalizations within the Standard & Poor’s Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400).*

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of (31.48%),** compared with (36.09%) for the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index (LMCGFI) and (7.95%) for the S&P 400.*

During the six-month reporting period, the market has broadened as investors continue to exit technology and telecommunications holdings. Diminished revenue and earnings visibility for technology shares has investors returning to old economy segments including cyclicals, retailers, and financials. However, in light of the sharp rotation, new market leadership has not emerged. We believe that the best approach to this type of environment is our bottom-up style of investing.

Positioned for a Challenging Environment

The current business and market conditions have led us to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we have sought companies with greater revenue and earnings visibility. Companies in this group range from transaction processors to cable companies. On the other hand, we continue to hold companies with greater growth opportunities and increasingly attractive valuations.

One company that we believe satisfies both criteria is Tetra Tech, Inc. Tetra Tech is an engineering company focused on three distinct markets. The company’s environmental business accounts for nearly half of revenues. This business has produced solid single digit growth with great long range visibility, as much of the work is done for the federal government. The remainder of the business is in the communications and power markets. These markets have provided strong double digit organic growth. Tetra Tech should maintain its trend of greater than 20% revenue and earnings growth for the foreseeable future.

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund

The Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of small-capitalization companies* similar in size to those within the Russell 2000 Index (Russell 2000).**

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of (30.43%).*** Over the same period, the Russell 2000 returned (11.17%), and the Lipper Small-Cap Funds Index (LSCFI) returned (22.33%).** The Fund’s performance was in line with that of our Lipper peer group, but its underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 reflects that index’s significantly lower technology weighting.

Consumer Exposure Increased

Prior to October 2000, the Fund was significantly over-weighted towards technology holdings. When we began managing the Fund in October, we began to reduce the fund’s technology exposure, and began replacing those holdings with consumer stocks that are not as sensitive to the decelerating U.S. economy. Consumer stocks now make up about 30% of the portfolio, including approximately 10% of assets in retail stocks. We are favoring selected retail stocks because growth in consumer spending is typically necessary to resume economic growth—and as this spending begins to climb, retailers are the first to benefit. Other consumer areas we’re investing in are leisure-oriented stocks, such as health club operators, video-game producers, and gaming companies.

Energy now represents about 10% of fund assets, a position that reflects an increase from six months ago but is actually down a bit from earlier this calendar year. These stocks have performed relatively well, buoyed by rising commodity prices. As they have become more fully valued, we have trimmed these holdings back to the 10% level. Also representing about 10% of fund assets are financial stocks, which we believe are positioned to benefit from a declining interest-rate environment.

Technology Exposure Reduced, But Still Significant

Although we have greatly reduced the Fund’s weighting in technology, that doesn’t mean we have entirely turned away from the sector. Technology stocks currently account for about 25% of fund assets, down from a high of over 50% during 2000. One change in our stock selection criteria is that we have become increasingly sensitive to valuations of technology stocks. While we continue to invest in market leaders, we are attracted to companies that also offer more downside protection due to strong balance sheets.

We continue to believe that technology stock selection and weighting will play a critical role in the long-term performance of the Fund. We are currently not convinced that technology stocks have bottomed, as inventory issues in key sectors (i.e. semiconductors, telecommunications equipment) have yet to be worked through the system. Once it appears to us that technology inventory issues have or will be resolved, and assuming worldwide demand remains strong, we will move to add to our technology weighting.

Continued Growth Stock Focus

Although we have become more sensitive to valuations in the stocks we’re buying, we remain growth investors. We remain steadfast in our belief that prudent investments in smaller capitalization, growth-oriented stocks will result in strong long-term risk-adjusted returns.

Marshall International Stock Fund

The Marshall International Stock Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies of any size outside the United States.* The Fund uses a value-oriented approach and invests in companies that appear to be selling at a discount to their global industry peers.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of (19.29%)** compared with a total return of (14.41%) by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (EAFE) and (15.46%) for the Lipper International Funds Index (LIFI).*** This poor absolute performance was seen around the globe in equity markets from Japan to North America. The main factors driving equities down during this period were expectations of weak corporate profits and a contraction in the valuation multiples assigned to large-cap stocks. Both of these factors played a role in the underperformance of the fund.

Technology Stocks Remain Out of Favor

Similar to the last reporting period, volatility dominated the markets as investors questioned the earnings ability of corporations while at the same time looked for signs that the economy was stabilizing. During this reporting period, the Fund was underweighted in the technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) sectors. The business fundamentals within each group continued to deteriorate as issues of overcapacity and lower profitability remained in the market. While the valuation multiples within the TMT sectors have come down substantially, we are not yet convinced that those stocks are cheap enough to be good long-term buys.

Unfortunately, the Fund did not benefit from its overweight positions in financials, consumer staples, and industrials. These sectors were also hurt as the market began to question their profit expectations as well. While these sectors have a more defensive nature, no sector was spared from the significant reduction in valuation multiples of large-cap multi-national corporations. We continue to believe that a more defensive position for the portfolio is appropriate during these times of corporate profit warnings, falling consumer confidence and poor economic conditions.

Pockets of Opportunity

Areas where we are finding new opportunities include stocks within the consumer discretionary and health care sectors. We have identified several leisure and hotel stocks that are market leading, highly profitable, well-managed organizations that are trading at attractive valuations relative to their global peers. At the same time we are taking advantage of the decline in some pharmaceutical stocks that have excellent growth prospects, thus increasing our weighting in this sector.

While the duration and magnitude of the global economic slowdown are uncertain, we continue to focus our efforts on identifying high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages that are attractively valued relative to their global industry peers.

Marshall Government Income Fund

The Marshall Government Income Fund invests in securities issued by the United States government and its agencies and instrumentalities, particularly mortgage-related securities. The Adviser considers macroeconomic conditions and uses credit and market analysis in developing the overall portfolio strategy. Current and historical interest rate relationships are used to evaluate market sectors and individual securities. The Fund will generally maintain an average dollar-weighted maturity of four to 12 years.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 6.07%,* compared with a return of 6.68% for the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Index (LUSMI) and a 7.19% return by the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (LMI).**

Interest Rates Moving Down

Although the Fed’s move to lower short-term rates did not come until early 2001, interest rates across the yield curve actually moved lower in late 2000, anticipating the Fed’s moves.

The reason for the downward drift in interest rates—and the Fed’s actions this year—was the perception of a dramatic slowdown in the economy, coming off an extended period of very high growth. Manufacturing has slowed dramatically, and the major stock indices saw their levels decline significantly. Consumer confidence similarly dropped, slowing spending. Inflation has remained tame, allowing the Fed to cut rates with little fear of sparking a significant hike in consumer prices.

We had not fully anticipated how quickly interest rates would drop, and therefore we had adopted a shorter-duration stance. This cautious approach was positive from an income standpoint, as our shorter securities paid attractive yields, but limited our exposure to capital appreciation opportunities on the long end of the yield curve as rates fell.

Mortgage-Backed Dynamics

Declining interest rates can spark prepayment concerns for mortgage-backed bonds, as borrowers seek to refinance at lower rates. While the possibility of prepayments is a risk, we believe it’s important to remember that mortgage rates aren’t tightly tied to the Fed Funds rate. Even if the Fed continues to cut the Fed Funds rate, as seems likely, mortgage rates, which bear greater relation to yields on 10-year Treasuries, are not likely to decline to as great a degree.

We are adding to the Fund’s holdings in mortgage pass-throughs, using them to replace agency debentures and Treasuries. We believe these bonds can help us to achieve a higher degree of income. We believe that a further decline in interest rates and increasing prepayments have already been priced into these bonds, giving them attractive yields now and the potential for capital appreciation relative to Treasuries down the road.

Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund

The Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund invests in intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and United States government securities. The Adviser’s strategy to pursue total return is to adjust the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate, using macroeconomic, credit, and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund will maintain an average dollar-weighted maturity of three to 10 years.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001 the Fund provided a total return of 5.57%,* compared with a return of 6.34% for the Lipper Short/Intermediate Investment Grade Bond Funds Index (LSIBF) and a 7.36% return by Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index (LGCI).** Bond returns were strong as interest rates fell in response to a slowing economy.

The slowdown that has hit the U.S. economy was followed by severe stock market volatility, and in time led the Fed to cut interest rates early in 2001. A factor weighing on economic growth is an inventory buildup, the result of overly optimistic growth forecasts. Although this has certainly had an impact on the manufacturing sector, we are not sure that this is as gloomy for the overall economy as some may believe. The U.S. has evolved into more of a service economy—and thus far service sectors have not been hit as hard by the slowdown.

Focus on Quality and Diversification

That said, there is still the risk that the economy will continue to slow, and in the meantime the stock market volatility creates a difficult environment for corporate bonds. Despite a rally in January, spreads between corporate bonds and Treasuries have remained wide. We continue to emphasize credit quality, and when we can, we’re selling lower-rated bonds and replacing them with higher quality issues. Given the economic climate, it’s possible we could see a greater rate of default on corporate debt, so it behooves investors at this time to pay extra attention to credit analysis. We do believe that high-quality, carefully researched corporates offer attractive prospects for total return going forward. We are therefore adding to our high-quality corporate exposure, leaning toward shorter-duration issues.

We’re also seeking to manage risk by increasing the Fund’s level of diversification. We have added mortgage-backed bonds to the portfolio. In the face of declining interest rates, fears of prepayment (the result of borrowers refinancing their mortgages) have cheapened the valuation of these bonds. We think the markets have more than priced in potential pre-payments and think these bonds are attractive.

Although we don’t expect to see the rates of growth seen in recent years, that doesn’t mean that the economy is certain to spiral downward. After the current situation shakes itself out, we anticipate seeing growth proceed at a slower, steadier rate. Even with the recent slowing, the overall level of economic activity remains relatively high.

Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund

The Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund invests in investment-grade municipal securities, which includes tax-free debt obligations of states, territories, and possessions of the United States and political subdivisions and financing authorities of these entities. The Fund’s assets are invested primarily in municipal securities providing income that is exempt from federal income tax (including the federal alternative minimum tax). The Adviser selects fund investments after assessing factors such as the cyclical trend in interest rates, the shape of the municipal yield curve, tax rates, sector valuation, and municipal bond supply factors. The Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of three to 10 years. The primary goal of the Fund is to generate income exempt from federal income tax.†

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 4.43%,* compared with the market as represented by the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Funds Index (LIMI) return of 4.58%.** The market as defined by the Lehman Brothers 7-Year General Obligations Index (L7GO) reported a return of 4.84% for the same period.**

Declining Interest Rates

The Fund benefited from the decline in interest rates. Municipal bond yields dropped approximately 40 basis points for bonds maturing 10 years and beyond, and substantially more the shorter the maturity. A weaker economy led to an easier Fed policy, with the market factoring in a slowdown in a typical anticipatory way. The bulk of the decline in rates took place from December to mid-January, when expectations of aggressive Fed interest rate cuts turned into reality.

Supply Picture

As the year 2000 drew to a close, new issue municipal supply trickled down to nearly nothing. Today’s environment shows much more robust issuance, but overall interest rate levels have fallen to two-year lows. From a strategic standpoint, selectivity will be a key determinant to future performance. One important feature of a bond is the structure of the coupon. We are currently favoring premium paper to cushion the Fund from the future impacts of rising rates.

Future Considerations

It certainly appears that the overall fiscal health of the municipal bond market has peaked. An economic slowdown causes tax revenues to fall short of budgeted projections. More states are reporting tax receipts below expectations. Since the duration of the economic slowdown is unknown, an emphasis on high quality will remain a hallmark of the Fund. In the near-term, a renewed focus will be placed upon so-called essential service revenue bonds, as their fiscal well being is less dependant on overall economic health.

Allocation Effects

We are anticipating increased levels of money flowing into bond funds for two primary reasons. First, the equity bear market flushes out weak players who look for a safer haven in bond funds. Secondly, the Fund provides the opportunity for a higher distribution yield than prevailing municipal yields in the market. We welcome new investors and appreciate the continued support of our longer-term shareholders.

Marshall Short-Term Income Fund

The Marshall Short-Term Income Fund seeks to maximize total return consistent with current income. Fund assets are invested in short- to intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and U.S. government securities. The Adviser changes the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate and uses macroeconomic, credit, and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted maturity of six months to three years.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 6.01%,* versus a 5.36% return for the Lipper Short-Term Investment Grade Bond Fund Index (LSTIBI) and a 5.54% return for the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Corporate Index (MLI3).**

Over the six-month reporting period, the pace of U.S. economic growth slowed, with deep repercussions on Wall Street as stock-market volatility re-ignited. In January, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in an effort to support economic growth, though benefits from these moves were not immediately felt. It’s our belief that more than the slowing economy was responsible for the market’s decline; the excessive valuations that many stocks in certain sectors had experienced in recent years made them highly vulnerable to a correction.

Despite recent difficulties, we don’t see all gloom and doom ahead for the U.S. economy. While the manufacturing sector has suffered, the service industries that make up a great deal of the U.S. economy have not been so hard hit.

Corporate Bonds Feel the Impact

The uncertain environment for U.S. stocks has a direct, negative effect on the corporate bond market. Although corporates (especially lower-quality bonds, which we generally avoid) enjoyed a brief rally in January, for the most part the spread between corporate yields and Treasury yields has remained wide. We are heightening our focus on credit quality, seeking to replace lower-rated issues in the portfolio with higher-quality debt. We believe this is a prudent move, as even a brief economic slump can increase the rate of corporate default. Despite this element of caution, we believe that high-quality corporate bonds offer very attractive potential. Credit analysis is key in our selection process, and we are leaning toward the shorter end of the duration spectrum.† This emphasis on higher-quality issues benefited performance over the period.

Another way we’re managing over the somewhat challenging terrain is to increase the Fund’s level of diversification, both in terms of number and type of issues. Mortgage-backed issues are taking a significant place in the portfolio for the first time in awhile. We believe these bonds offer attractive values; their valuations have been pushed down by investors concerned that declining interest rates will lead to a greater rate of prepayment on these issues.

It’s not very likely that the economy will return to the heady rates of growth it experienced in recent years, but that hardly means it is destined for disaster. When the dust settles, we anticipate that the economy will return to a slower, steadier—and perhaps more sustainable—rate. We are encouraged by the fact that, despite recent setbacks, economic activity remains at a reasonably high level.

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of 3.10%.** This compares with a return of 2.91% for the Money Fund Report Averages™ and 2.93% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Index.*** As of February 28, 2001, the Fund’s 7-day net yield was 5.57%.†

Fed Moves Rates Downward

With the Fed beginning to move the Fed Funds rate down in January, money market rates have necessarily dropped accordingly. The question that remains in the marketplace is how much further the Fed will have to ease rates in order to spark some economic growth. Whereas earlier many observers believed that cutting the Fed Funds rate to 5.0% would be sufficient, there is now growing consensus that a cut to as low as 4.0% may ultimately be necessary.

It won’t be certain how far the Fed will need to cut rates until there is a clearer picture of just how much the economy has slowed. Once we had a wealth effect, with consumer spending spurred by the significant growth individuals were enjoying in their stock portfolios. Now that those same people are seeing their equity holdings lose value, it remains to be seen to what degree they will change their spending habits. Another drag on the economy is the electric power crisis in the state of California; when problems hit such a large contributor to the U.S. economy, it’s almost inevitable that the repercussions will be felt throughout the economy as a whole.

Some Signs are Positive

Despite widespread economic concerns, some indicators have been more positive than expected. For example, February auto and home sales exceeded forecasts. So it remains possible that the Fed will not need to make drastic rate cuts to stimulate the economy, particularly if tax cuts are put in place.

In this evolving environment, money market funds have proven a popular alternative with many investors. Many money market funds—including this one—are experiencing significant asset growth.

We are selectively adding longer fixed-rate paper to the portfolio as the Fed eases rates, allowing us to maintain a higher yield. We are, however, seeking to keep the Fund’s maturity near the industry average of about 40 days. Supply of money market securities has been somewhat constrained, as issuers delay issuing new paper in anticipation of Fed rate cuts (which would reduce the yield they must pay on their securities). This tight supply situation is exacerbated by the strong investor demand for money market investments. We are still purchasing floating-rate notes as they become available. These notes still make up the bulk of the portfolio, at about 36% of assets. Funding agreements and master notes, which are similar to floaters, make up another 23% of the portfolio.

We anticipate that the environment over the next several months will be about the same as it is now, with tight money market supply as issuers await further Fed rate cuts. The state of the economy and, to a lesser degree, the equity markets, will determine when the Fed will act and to what extent.

Sincerely,

/s/ Richard M. Rokus

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1.    Organization

        Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation consists of eleven diversified portfolios (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”) which are presented herein:

Portfolio Name
     Investment Objective
 
Marshall Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”)      To provide capital appreciation and above-average dividend
income.
 
Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund
(“Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund”)
     To provide capital appreciation and income.
 
Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value Fund”)      To provide capital appreciation.
 
Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund (“Mid-Cap Growth Fund”)      To provide capital appreciation.
 
Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund (“Small-Cap Growth Fund”)      To provide capital appreciation.
 
Marshall International Stock Fund (“International Stock Fund”)      To provide capital appreciation.
 
Marshall Government Income Fund (“Government Income Fund”)      To provide current income.
 
Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate Bond Fund”)      To maximize total return consistent with current income.
 
Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund (“Intermediate Tax-Free Fund”)      Provide a high level of income that is exempt from federal
income tax and is consistent with preservation of capital.
 
Marshall Short-Term Income Fund (“Short-Term Income Fund”)      To maximize total return consistent with current income.
 
Marshall Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”)      To provide current income consistent with stability of
principal.

        The Funds (except Intermediate Tax-Free Fund) are offered in two classes of shares: Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares. International Stock Fund and Money Market Fund offer three classes of Shares: Investor Class of Shares, Advisor Class of Shares and Institutional Class of Shares. Effective October 31, 2000, Short-Term Income Fund began offering a second class of shares, Advisor Class of Shares. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Financial Highlights of Advisor Class of Shares and Institutional Class of Shares of the Funds are presented in separate semi-annual reports.

 

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. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        Investment Valuations—Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. 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. Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Money Market Fund’s 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 Corporation, short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 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 no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”).

        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, including accrued interest.

        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 (or sub-advisor with respect to International Stock Fund) to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Directors. 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. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). 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 market value. The Funds offer multiple classes of shares (except Intermediate Tax-Free Fund), which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expense 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.

        In November 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued a revised version of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the “Guide”). The Guide is effective for annual financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. Management of the Fund does not anticipate that the adoption of the Guide will have a significant effect on the financial statements.

        Federal Taxes—It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary.

        Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the International Stock Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

        At August 31, 2000 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 listed below:

        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.

        Futures Contracts—Equity Income Fund, Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Small-Cap Growth Fund purchase stock index futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

        At February 28, 2001, Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Small-Cap Growth Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

        At February 28, 2001, the Equity Income Fund had outstanding futures contracts as set forth below:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

        Written Options Contracts—Equity Income Fund may write option contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver a call, or to receive a put, for the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund had $594,366 in realized gains on written options.

        The following is a summary of the Fund’s written option activity:

        Foreign Exchange Contracts—International Stock Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of the Fund’s foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency denominated securities will decline in value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign currency exchange contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. As of February 28, 2001, International Stock Fund had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

        Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records of International Stock Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FCs”) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

        Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

        Dollar Roll Transactions—The Funds, except for Money Market Fund, may enter into dollar roll transactions, with respect to mortgage securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, in which the Funds loan mortgage securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agree to accept substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions are short-term financing arrangements which will not exceed twelve months. The Funds will use the proceeds generated from the transactions to invest in short-term investments, which may enhance the Funds’ current yield and total return.

        Securities Lending—The Funds participate in a securities lending program providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity and government securities to qualified brokers. The Funds receive cash as collateral in return for the securities and record a corresponding payable for collateral due to the respective broker. The amount of cash collateral received is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the prior day’s market value on securities loaned. Collateral is reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. The Funds reimburse the custodian for the costs directly associated with the Funds’ participation in the securities lending program.

        As of February 28, 2001, the value of securities loaned, the payable on collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:

Securities Loaned

     Payable on Collateral

        Restricted Securities—Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Directors. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined by the Funds’ pricing committee.

        Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

4.    Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

        Investment Adviser Fee—Marshall & Ilsley (“M&I”) Investment Management Corp., the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as listed below. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.


Fund
     Annual Rate
Equity Income Fund      0.75%
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund      0.75%
Mid-Cap Value Fund      0.75%
Mid-Cap Growth Fund      0.75%
Small-Cap Growth Fund      1.00%

Intermediate Bond Fund      0.60%
Intermediate Tax-Free Fund      0.60%
Short-Term Income Fund      0.60%
Money Market Fund      0.15%

        International Stock Fund’s sub-adviser is BPI Global Asset Management LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of International Stock Fund.

        Administrative Fee—M&I Trust Company, under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to M&I Trust Company is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Corporation for the period except for Small-Cap Growth Fund, which is based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Federated Administrative Services (“FAS”) is the sub-administrator and will be paid by M&I Trust Company, not by the Funds.

Notes to financial Statements (continued)

        Effective September 15, 2000, M&I Trust changed its administrative fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:


Maximum Fee
     Fund’s ADNA
    0.100%      on the first $250 million
    0.095%      on the next $250 million
    0.080%      on the next $250 million
    0.060%      on the next $250 million
    0.040%      on the next $500 million
    0.020%      on assets in excess of $1.5 billion

        Distribution Services Fee—The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (“FSC”), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares. The Plan provides that the Funds may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares (except Money Market Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares which may accrue up to 0.30%) annually, to compensate FSC.

        Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Marshall Funds Investor Services (“MFIS”), each Fund will pay MFIS up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares for the period. The fee paid to MFIS is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. MFIS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. MFIS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. Effective April 1, 2000, the Money Market Fund changed its shareholder service fee from 0.02% to 0.25%.

        Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses—Federated Services Company (“FServ”), through its subsidiary, Federated Shareholders Services Company (“FSSC”), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.

        Portfolio Accounting Fees—FServ maintains the Funds’ accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. FServ may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee.

        Custodian Fees—M&I Trust Company is the Funds’ custodian. M&I Trust Company receives fees based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period. The custodian also charges a fee in connection with securities lending activities of the Funds.

        Organizational Expenses—Organizational expenses were borne initially by FAS. The Funds have reimbursed FAS for these expenses. These expenses have been deferred and are being amortized over the five-year period following each Fund’s effective date. For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Funds expensed the following pursuant to this agreement:

Dear Marshall Funds Shareholder,

Critics of the mutual fund industry are loudest in times like these. The markets are down and the economy’s direction is uncertain. The problems associated with opportunistic fund creation, loosely defined investment objectives, and ill-timed promotion of fund performance creates broad dissatisfaction of, and growing skepticism by, shareholders.

We are pleased with taking a different approach to investing with our clients and want to make sure you know that we offer many ways of delivering sound investment advice at M&I. In fact, we strongly recommend the use of any experienced financial adviser. If you have one, stick with them and seek their counsel during these times.

The vast majority of Marshall Fund shareholders, however, are shareholders because of M&I’s approach to meeting their investment needs. Whether you work directly with our Trust Portfolio Managers, M&I Financial Advisors, Marshall Funds Services or M&I 401-k Services, our approach is grounded in the fundamentals of investing.

These fundamentals include understanding your financial goals, learning your acceptance of the effects of market volatility on your portfolio, creating a broadly diversified portfolio of investments, and managing our Funds and similar investment services in a manner consistent with their names and investment objectives.

Our approach takes some of the mystery out of investing. While we cannot be certain of the short-term direction of the markets, we can avoid a number of current investor concerns.

If you are investing on your own, you may end up asking questions like the following. Why did I get caught up buying so many technology stocks? Why are all of my funds moving in tandem? Why aren’t my funds performing as expected in these markets? Have my funds remained true to their investment style? Do I have both growth and value styles working for me? Why don’t I own any bonds to reduce my portfolio volatility? Should I be invested entirely in the money market fund? M&I investment professionals are here to help you answer the questions that these markets create.

In volatile times, investors should not have to go it alone. We have built our organization by helping a wide range of investors reach their financial goals. We view our role as much more than just managing good investment products. Please do not hesitate to contact your M&I investment representative, or call us directly at 1-800-236-3863.

As always, we thank you for your investment in the Marshall Funds.

Sincerely,

/s/ John M. Blaser

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall International Stock Fund

The Marshall International Stock Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies of any size outside the United States.* The Fund uses a value-oriented approach and invests in companies selling at a discount to their global industry peers.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the Fund provided a total return of (19.13%),** compared with a total return of (14.32%) by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (EAFE) and (15.46%) for the Lipper International Funds Index (LIFI).*** This poor absolute performance was seen around the globe in equity markets from Japan to North America. The main factors driving equities down during this period were expectations of weak corporate profits and a contraction in the valuation multiples assigned to large-cap stocks. Both of these factors played a role in the underperformance of the Fund.

Technology Stocks Remain Out of Favor

Similar to the last reporting period, volatility dominated the markets as investors questioned the earnings ability of corporations while at the same time looked for signs that the economy was stabilizing. During this reporting period, the Fund was underweight in the technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) sectors. The business fundamentals within each group continued to deteriorate as issues of overcapacity and lower profitability remained in the market. While the valuation multiples within the TMT sectors have come down substantially, we are not yet convinced that those stocks are cheap enough to be good long-term buys.

Unfortunately, the Fund did not benefit from its overweight positions in financials, consumer staples, and industrials. These sectors were also hurt as the market began to question their profit expectations as well. While these sectors have a more defensive nature, no sector was spared from the significant reduction in valuation multiples of large-cap multi-national corporations. We continue to believe that a more defensive position for the portfolio is appropriate during these times of corporate profit warnings, falling consumer confidence and poor economic conditions.

Pockets of Opportunity

Areas where we are finding new opportunities include stocks within the consumer discretionary and health care sectors. We have identified several leisure and hotel
stocks that are market leading, highly profitable, well-managed organizations that are trading at attractive valuations relative to their global peers. At the same time we are taking advantage of the decline in some pharmaceutical stocks that have excellent growth prospects, thus increasing our weighting in this sector.

While the duration and magnitude of the global economic slowdown are uncertain, we continue to focus our efforts on identifying high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages that are attractively valued relative to their global industry peers.

Sincerely,

Foreign investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility of foreign securities, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

  ** 

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

*** 

The EAFE and the LIFI are not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in a mutual fund’s performance. These indices are unmanaged. Actual investments may not be made in an index. MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (EAFE) is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted equity index comprising 20 of the 48 countries in the MSCI universe and representing the developed world outside of North America. Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper as falling into the category indicated.

    † 

Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The EAFE and the LIFI have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indices.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 28, 2001 (unaudited)

1.    Organization

        Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation consists of eleven diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Marshall International Stock Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide capital appreciation.

        Effective September 1, 1999, the Fund began offering Institutional Class of Shares in addition to the Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares previously offered. The Financial Highlights of Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares of the Fund are presented in separate semi-annual reports.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies

        The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        Investment Valuations—Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. 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 no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”).

        Repurchase Agreements—It is the policy of the Fund 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 Fund 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, including accrued interest.

        The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund’s adviser or sub-advisor to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Directors. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund 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. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). 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 market value. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expense of the Fund 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.

        In November 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued a revised version of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the “Guide”). The Guide is effective for annual financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. Management of the Fund does not anticipate that the adoption of the Gude will have a significant effect on the financial statements.

        Federal Taxes—It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.

        Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

        When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records 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.

        Foreign Exchange Contracts—The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of the Fund’s foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s foreign currency denominated securities will decline in value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign currency exchange contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. At February 28, 2001, the Fund had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

        Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FCs”) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

        Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

        Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

3.    Capital Stock

        The Articles of Incorporation permit the Directors to issue an indefinite number of full and fractional shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. At February 28, 2001, the capital paid-in was $451,852,521.

        Transactions in capital stock were as follows:

(1) For the period from September 1, 1999 (start of performance) to August 31, 2000.

4.    Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

        Investment Adviser Fee—Marshall & Ilsley (M&I) Investment Management Corp., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

        The Fund’s sub-adviser is BPI Global Asset Management LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of the Fund.

        Administrative Fee—M&I Trust Company, under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to M&I Trust Company is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Corporation for the period. Federated Administrative Services (“FAS”) is the sub-administrator and will be paid by M&I Trust Company, not by the Funds.

        Effective September 15, 2000, M&I Trust changed its administrative fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:


Maximum fee
   Fund’s ADNA
0.100%      on the first $250 million
0.095%      on the next $250 million
0.080%      on the next $250 million
0.060%      on the next $250 million
0.040%      on the next $500 million
0.020%      on assets in excess of $1.5 billion

        Distribution Services Fee—The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (“FSC”), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund’s Advisor Class. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Fund’s Advisor Class Shares annually, to compensate FSC.

        Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Marshall Funds Investor Services (“MFIS”), the Fund will pay MFIS up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Class and Advisor Class for the period. MFIS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. MFIS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

        Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses—Federated Services Company (“FServ”), through its subsidiary, Federated Shareholder Services Company (“FSSC”), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.

        Portfolio Accounting Fees—FServ maintains the Fund’s accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

        Custodian Fees—M&I Trust Company is the Fund’s custodian. M&I Trust Company receives fees based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period.

  Marshall Funds 

        General—Certain of the Officers and Directors of the Corporation are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

Dear Marshall Funds Shareholder,

Critics of the mutual fund industry are loudest in times like these. The markets are down and the economy’s direction is uncertain. The problems associated with opportunistic fund creation, loosely defined investment objectives, and ill-timed promotion of fund performance creates broad dissatisfaction of, and growing skepticism by, shareholders.

We are pleased with taking a different approach to investing with our clients and want to make sure you know that we offer many ways of delivering sound investment advice at M&I. In fact, we strongly recommend the use of any experienced financial adviser. If you have one, stick with them and seek their counsel during these times.

The vast majority of Marshall Fund shareholders, however, are shareholders because of M&I’s approach to meeting their investment needs. Whether you work directly with our Trust Portfolio Managers, M&I Financial Advisors, Marshall Funds Services or M&I 401-k Services, our approach is grounded in the fundamentals of investing.

These fundamentals include understanding your financial goals, learning your acceptance of the effects of market volatility on your portfolio, creating a broadly diversified portfolio of investments, and managing our Funds and similar investment services in a manner consistent with their names and investment objectives.

Our approach takes some of the mystery out of investing. While we cannot be certain of the short-term direction of the markets, we can avoid a number of current investor concerns.

If you are investing on your own, you may end up asking questions like the following. Why did I get caught up buying so many technology stocks? Why are all of my funds moving in tandem? Why aren’t my funds performing as expected in these markets? Have my funds remained true to their investment style? Do I have both growth and value styles working for me? Why don’t I own any bonds to reduce my portfolio volatility? Should I be invested entirely in the money market fund? M&I investment professionals are here to help you answer the questions that these markets create.

In volatile times, investors should not have to go it alone. We have built our organization by helping a wide range of investors reach their financial goals. We view our role as much more than just managing good investment products. Please do not hesitate to contact your M&I investment representative, or call us directly at 1-800-236-3863.

As always, we thank you for your investment in the Marshall Funds.

Sincerely,

/s/ John M. Blaser

Semi-Annual Report—Commentary

Marshall Money Market Fund

The Marshall Money Market Fund invests in high-quality, short-term money market instruments.* The Adviser uses a bottom-up approach, meaning that the fund manager looks primarily at individual securities against the context of broader market factors.

Fund Performance

For the six months ended February 28, 2001, the fund provided a total return of 3.23%.** This compares with a return of 2.91% for the Money Fund Report Averages™ and 2.93% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Index.*** As of February 28, 2001, the Fund’s 7-day net yield was 5.82%.†

Fed Moves Rates Downward

With the Fed beginning to move the Fed Funds rate down in January, money market rates have necessarily dropped accordingly. The question that remains in the marketplace is how much further the Fed will have to ease rates in order to spark some economic growth. Whereas many observers earlier believed that cutting the Fed Funds rate to 5.0% would be sufficient, there is now growing consensus that a cut to as low as 4.0% may ultimately be necessary.

It won’t be certain how far the Fed will need to cut rates until there is a clearer picture of just how much the economy has slowed. Once we had a wealth effect, with consumer spending spurred by the significant growth individuals were enjoying in their stock portfolios. Now that those same people are seeing their equity holdings lose value, it remains to be seen to what degree they will change their spending habits. Another drag on the economy is the electric power crisis in the state of California; when problems hit such a large contributor to the U.S. economy, it’s almost inevitable that the repercussions will be felt throughout the economy as a whole.

Some Signs are Positive

Despite widespread economic concerns, some indicators have been more positive than expected. For example, February auto and home sales exceeded forecasts. So it remains possible that the Fed will not need to make drastic rate cuts to stimulate the economy, particularly if tax cuts are put in place.

In this evolving environment, money funds have proven a popular alternative with many investors. Many money market funds—including this one—are experiencing significant asset growth.

We are selectively adding longer fixed-rate paper to the portfolio as the Fed eases rates, allowing us to maintain a higher yield. We are, however, seeking to keep the Fund’s maturity near the industry average of about 40 days. Supply of money market securities has been somewhat constrained, as issuers delay issuing new paper in anticipation of Fed rate cuts (which would reduce the yield they must pay on their securities). This tight supply situation is exacerbated by the strong investor demand for money market investments. We are still purchasing floating-rate notes as they become available. These notes still make up the bulk of the portfolio, at about 36% of assets. Funding agreements and master notes, which are similar to floaters, make up another 23% of the portfolio.

We anticipate that the environment over the next several months will be about the same as it is now, with tight money market supply as issuers await further Fed rate cuts. The state of the economy and, to a lesser degree, the equity markets, will determine when the Fed will act and to what extent.

Sincerely,

/s/ Richard M. Rokus

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Yields will vary. Yields quoted for money market funds most closely reflect the fund’s current earnings.

***

Money Fund Report™, a service of iMoneyNet, Inc. (formerly IBC Financial Data) publishes annualized yields of hundreds of money market funds on a weekly basis and through its Money Market Insight publication, reports monthly and year-to-date investment results for the same money funds. Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by the largest mutual funds designated by Lipper as falling into the category indicated.

  †

The 7-day net annualized yield is based on the average net income per share for the 7 days ended on the date of calculation and the offering price on that date. The 7-day effective yield is annualized and reflects daily compounding of the 7-day net yield.

Notes to Financial Statements

February 28, 2001 (unaudited)

1.    Organization

        Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation consists of eleven diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Money Market Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income consistent with stability of principal.

        Effective April 3, 2000, the Fund began offering Institutional Class of Shares in addition to the Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares previously offered. The Financial Highlights of Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares of the Fund are presented in separate semi-annual reports.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies

        The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        Investment Valuations—Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Money Market Fund’s use of the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”).

        Repurchase Agreements—It is the policy of the Fund 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 Fund 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, including accrued interest.

        The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund’s adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Directors. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund 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. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expense of the Fund 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.

        In November 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued a revised version of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the “Guide”). The Guide is effective for annual financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2000. Management of the Fund does not anticipate that the adoption of the Guide will have a significant effect on the financial statements.

        Federal Taxes—It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.

        When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains 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.

        OtherInvestment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
