We have examined management's assertion included in the accompanying            
Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of            
the Investment Company Act of 1940 that BBH European Equity Portfolio,

Jones Islamic Market Index Portfolio, BBH High Yield Fixed Income               
Portfolio, BBH International Equity Portfolio, BBH Broad Market Fixed           
Income Portfolio, BBH Global Equity Portfolio, BBH Money Market                 
Portfolio, BBH Inflation-Indexed Securities Fund (formerly The 59 Wall

Fund(formerly The 59 Wall Street Tax-Efficient Equity Fund), BBH Tax            
Exempt Money Fund (formerly The 59 Wall Street Tax Exempt Money Fund),          
BBH U.S. Treasury Money Fund (formerly The 59 Wall Street U.S. Treasury         
Money Fund) and BBH Tax Free Short/Intermediate Fixed Income Fund               
(formerly The 59 Wall Street Tax Free Short/Intermediate Fixed Income           
Fund)(the "Funds") complied with the requirements of subsections (b)            
and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the            
Act") as of March 28, 2002.  Management is responsible for the Funds'           
compliance with those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express           
an opinion on management's assertion about the Funds' compliance based          
on our examination.                                                             

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards          
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants           
and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about           
the Funds' compliance with those requirements and performing such other         
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  Included           
among our procedures were the following tests performed as of                   
March 28, 2002, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and         
sales, for the period from October 31, 2001 (the date of our last               
examination) through March 28, 2002:                                            

1.  Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of the          
Custodian in Boston without prior notice to management;                         

2.  Confirmation of all securities held in book entry form by The               
Depository Trust Company, Federal Reserve Bank of New York and various          
sub-custodians;                                                                 

3.  Agreement of a sample of security purchases and sales or maturities         
for the period  from October 31, 2001 (the date of our last                     
examination) through March 28, 2002 from the books and records of the           
Funds to broker trade tickets.                                                  

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our             
opinion.  Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the         
Funds' compliance with specified requirements.                                  

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds complied with the         
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment         
Company Act of 1940 as of March 28, 2002 with respect to securities             
reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds is fairly stated, in          
all material respects.                                                          

This report is intended solely for the information and use of                   
management and the Board of Directors and Trustees of the Funds and the         
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should         
not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Management Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain                          
Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940

Equity Fund, BBH Tax Exempt Money Fund, BBH U.S. Treasury Money Fund            
and BBH Free Short/Intermediate Fixed Income Fund (the "Funds") am              
responsible for complying with the requirements of subsections (b) and          
(c) of rule 17f-2, "Custody of Investments by Registered Management             
Investment Companies," of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  I am             
also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal            
controls over compliance with those requirements.  I have performed an          
evaluation of the Funds compliance with the requirements of subsections         
(b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 as of March 28, 2002, and from                        
October 31, 2001 through March 28, 2002.                                        

Based on this evaluation, I assert that the Funds were in compliance            
with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of rule 17f-2 of the           
Investment Company Act of 1940 as of March 28, 2002, and                        
October 31, 2001 through March 28, 2002, with respect to securities             
reflected in the investment account of the Funds.
