DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,


For the year ended October 31, 1999,  the Fund's Class A shares were down 0.40%,
versus the  three-month  Treasury  bill  annual  return of 4.66%.  Class B and C
Shares  (which have no initial sales  charge,  but bear higher annual  expenses)
were down 1.02% and 1.12%, respectively.

Our market neutral strategy is designed to provide capital  appreciation in bull
markets  and in bear  markets,  while  maintaining  minimal  exposure to general
market risk.  We seek to achieve our  objective by  constructing  a portfolio of
long  positions  and a different,  offsetting  portfolio  of short  positions in
equity securities.  We believe stock selection is the key to success in a market
neutral fund.

Although it was a difficult  year  overall for return,  we did  relatively  well
compared to our peer group (as shown below). After a weak first half of the year
(down 4.6%), our performance improved in the second half (gaining 4.4%).

As you can see from the  following  charts,  the market  rewarded  high-P/E  and
large-cap  stocks all year.  We examined  the returns of the S&P  SuperComposite
1500  Index,  a  combination  of the S&P 500,  the S&P MidCap  400,  and the S&P
SmallCap 600 indices(1).  This universe of stocks  approximates the list that we
consider for positions in the Fund. We divided these 1500 stocks into  quintiles
by market  capitalization and P/E, analyzing both the six-month and the 12-month
returns ended October 31, 1999. In both time periods,  the larger the market cap
and higher the P/E, the better the quintiles  performed.  Although the magnitude
of the spreads between the highest and lowest quintile for both the high-P/E and
large-cap stocks narrowed in the second half of the year, it was only a moderate
contraction.

(1)  The S&P 500 Index is a commonly  used  measure of stock market total return
     performance. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is a commonly used measure of mid-cap
     stock total  return  performance.  The S&P SmallCap 600 Index is a commonly
     used measure of small-cap stock total return  performance.  The indices are
     not available for direct investment.

The dominance of growth stocks over value stocks also held  throughout  the year
across different capitalization groups, as the table below illustrates. That is,
it didn't matter  whether you invested in small-cap  stocks,  mid-cap  stocks or
large-cap stocks, growth beat value across the board.

      S&P SmallCap 600/Barra Value                 3.6%            -0.4%

      Small Cap Growth - Value Spread             10.2%             5.4%

So if the major market  trends did not change much in the last six months,  what
accounted  for our improved  performance?  It was not a change in the market but
the natural tendency for our models to adjust to market conditions.  Our models,
which analyze historic patterns, are always updating and adjusting to changes in
the  market.  For  example,  everything  else  being held  constant,  if a stock
historically  trades at 20x  earnings,  then starts  trading at 25x,  our models
would consider the stock overvalued  (assuming no change in the market's average
P/E).  On the other hand,  if the stock traded at 25x for an extended  period of
time, our models would adjust to this new level. We believe relative measures of
this  type are  important  tools in  quantitative  analysis.  It is the  models'
inherent  adjustment  process that keeps our market neutral  strategy from being
out of step with the market for a prolonged period of time.

This aspect of our models was probably  most evident in the  technology  sector.
Although  we do not  have a  significant  net  long  or net  short  position  in
technology,  it is worth noting that this


                                       2
<PAGE>

sector  clearly  moved  according to its own rules during the year.  Without the
highflying technology sector, the S&P SuperComposite 1500 had a median return of
0.53% for the year and had a P/E of 16.3x.  Technology's return of 43.00% with a
P/E of 36.9x shows  investors'  enthusiasm  for this sector.  History shows that
fundamentals  affect long-term stock prices far more than market  capitalization
and short-term  momentum.  Our models analyze and rank stocks  according to both
growth and value characteristics  taking into account historical patterns. It is
these  growth and value  characteristics  that have had the  greatest  long-term
influence on stock prices.

We have managed market neutral  portfolios for eight years prior to the start of
the mutual fund.  Focusing on fundamentals  can work well over time, but not all
the time.  Further,  we believe that the Phoenix-Euclid  Market Neutral Fund can
serve as an important diversification tool for long-term shareholders.  We thank
you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 1999

NOTE 1--ACQUISITION

On March 1, 1999, Phoenix Investment Partners,  Ltd.  ("Phoenix")  completed the
acquisition of Zweig/Glaser Advisers,  parent of Euclid Advisors LLC, the Fund's
investment  manager (the "Manager"),  and of Zweig Securities  Corp., the Fund's
distributor  (the  Distributor").  As a result,  Euclid Mutual Funds changed its
name to Phoenix-Euclid  Funds and Euclid Market Neutral Fund changed its name to
Phoenix-Euclid  Market Neutral Fund. In addition,  Zweig/Glaser Advisers LLC has
succeeded  Zweig/Glaser  Advisers  as  parent  of the  Manager,  Phoenix  Equity
Planning  Corporation  ("PEPCO") has  succeeded  Zweig  Securities  Corp. as the
Distributor  and  PEPCO  has  succeeded  State  Street  Bank & Trust  Co. as the
Transfer Agent.

NOTE 2--ORGANIZATION

Phoenix-Euclid  Funds (the "Trust"),  organized as a Delaware  business trust on
February 3, 1998, is registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the
"Act") as a  diversified,  open-end  management  investment  company.  The Trust
presently consists of one investment portfolio ("Series"): Phoenix-Euclid Market
Neutral  Fund (the  "Fund"),  which offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I
Shares.  On April 22,  1998,  the Trust sold  $100,000  of shares of  beneficial
interest of the Fund to Euclid Advisors LLC, the Fund's investment  manager (the
"Manager"). The Fund commenced operations on May 1, 1998.

NOTE 3--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) General:  Investment  transactions and securities sold short are recorded on
trade date.  Realized  gains and losses on sales of  investments  and securities
sold  short are  determined  on the  identified  cost  basis for both  financial
reporting and income tax purposes.  Distributions  to shareholders  and dividend
income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis.  Direct  expenses are charged to each class and general  expenses
are allocated in proportion to net assets.  Organization  expenses are amortized
on a straight-line  basis over the first 60 months of operations of the Fund. In
the event that any of the initial  shares of the Fund are  redeemed  during this
period,  the  Fund  will  be  reimbursed  by the  Manager  for  any  unamortized
organization  expenses in the same  proportion as the number of shares  redeemed
bears to the number of initial shares outstanding at the time of redemption.  On
February 22, 1999,  the Manager  redeemed all of the initial  shares in the Fund
and  reimbursed  the Fund $55,323  representing  the balance of the  unamortized
organization  expenses.  The  preparation of financial  statements in accordance
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b)  Portfolio  Valuation:  Stocks and futures are valued at the closing  prices
reported on recognized securities exchanges or if no sale was reported,  and for
unlisted securities, at the mean between the last-reported bid and asked prices.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (of which there
were none at October  31,  1999) are valued at fair value as  determined  by the
Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations having a remaining maturity of 60 days
or less are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value).

(c) Futures Contracts and Option Accounting Principles:  Initial margin deposits
on futures  contracts  are recorded as assets.  The value of such  contracts are
"marked to market"  daily and  changes are  recognized  as  unrealized  gains or
losses.  Variation  margin  payments are  recognized  as assets or  liabilities,
depending upon whether  unrealized gains or losses are incurred.  When a futures
contract  is closed,  the Fund  realizes a gain or loss equal to the  difference
between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing  transaction and its basis in
the  contract.  When the Fund writes an option,  an amount  equal to the premium
received is recorded as an asset and a corresponding liability. The liability is
subsequently  "marked to market" daily. When a call option written is exercised,
the proceeds of sale of the  underlying  security  are  increased by the premium
originally received and the Fund realizes a gain or loss. When an option written
expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the liability is
extinguished and the Fund realizes a gain or loss.

(d)  Short  Sales:  A short  sale is a  transaction  in which  the Fund  sells a
security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in market price. To sell a
security  short,  the Fund must borrow the  security.  The Fund's  obligation to
replace the security borrowed and sold short will be fully collateralized at all
times by the proceeds from the short sale retained by the broker and by cash and
securities  deposited in a segregated account with the Fund's custodian.  If the
price of the security  sold short  increases  between the time of the short sale
and the time the Fund  replaces the borrowed  security,  the Fund will realize a
loss, and if the price declines during the period, the Fund will realize a gain.
Any realized gain will be decreased,  and any realized  loss  increased,  by the
amount of transaction costs.  Dividends paid by the Fund in connection with such
short  sales are  recorded  as  expenses.  At  October  31,  1999,  the value of
securities  sold short  amounted to  $92,529,848  against  which  collateral  of
$200,300,445  was held.  The  collateral  includes the deposits  with broker for
securities  sold short,  the repurchase  agreements,  and the common stocks held
long, as shown in the Schedule of Investments and Securities Sold Short.

(e) Off-Balance-Sheet Risk, Repurchase Agreements and Derivatives:  With respect
to repurchase agreements,  losses may arise if the counterparty does not perform
under the contract or  agreement.  The Fund's  investment  manager  monitors the
requirement  that the market value of the  securities  used to  collateralize  a
repurchase  agreement exceed the dollar amount of the counterparty's  obligation
to


                                       16
<PAGE>

repurchase. The Fund's use of futures contracts and options involves, to varying
degrees,  elements  of market  risk in excess of the  amount  recognized  in the
investment portfolio. These derivative financial instruments ("derivatives") are
used to adjust the risk and  return  characteristics  of the  Fund's  portfolio.
Derivatives are not used for the purpose of leverage. The objective in buying or
selling a derivative  instrument is to increase or decrease the Fund's  exposure
to changing  security prices or interest rates. If the Manager  misjudges market
conditions or employs a strategy  that does not  correlate  well with the Fund's
other investments;  use of these derivatives could result in a loss,  regardless
of the Manager's original intent to reduce risk.

(f) Federal  Income  Taxes:  It is the  intention of the Fund to comply with the
requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable to regulated  investment
companies and to  distribute  all of its net taxable  income,  including any net
realized gain on investments,  to its shareholders;  therefore, no provision for
federal  income tax is  required.  At October  31,  1999 (the  Fund's tax fiscal
year-end), the Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $9,389,382 and $7,745,316,
expiring October 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and is available to offset any
net capital gains subsequently realized, subject to certain limitations.  During
the  year  ended  October  31,  1999,  ther  Fund   reclassified   $40,531  from
undistributed net investment income to realized gains on investments.

(g) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions are
declared  separately  for each  class of shares of the Fund.  The  character  of
distributions  made during the year from net  investment  income or net realized
gains might differ from their ultimate  characterization  for federal income tax
purposes due to differences  in the  recognition of income and expense items for
financial statement and federal income tax purposes.


NOTE 4--INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

(a) Investment  Manager:  The Fund's  investments are managed by Euclid Advisors
LLC (the "Manager"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Zweig/Glaser Advisers LLC. The
Manager's  investment  advisory fee is based on the average  daily net assets of
the Fund at the  annual  rate of  1.50%.  The fees are  accrued  daily  and paid
monthly. Investment advisory fees for the year ended October 31, 1999 aggregated
$1,990,121.

(b)  Principal  Distributor:  PEPCO  (the  "Distributor")  serves  as  principal
distributor  of shares of the Fund.  The Fund's  Class A Shares are sold with an
initial  sales  charge,  Class B Shares and Class C Shares  are sold  without an
initial sales charge,  but bear higher  expenses and are subject to a contingent
deferred  sales  charge,  and Class I Shares  are sold  without a sales  charge.
During the year ended October 31, 1999, the  Distributor's  share of the initial
and contingent deferred sales charges was $1,308 and $713,293, respectively.

Pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan of  distribution,  the Fund pays the Distributor a
combined  service  and  distribution  fee  equal to an  annual  rate of 0.30% of
average daily net assets of Class A Shares,  1.00% for Class B Shares, and 1.00%
for  Class C  Shares.  Class I  Shares,  which are  available  for  purchase  by
tax-exempt  retirement  plans of the  Distributor and its affiliates and certain
institutional investors, do not have a Rule 12b-1 Plan.

During the year ended  October  31,  1999,  the Fund paid PXP  Securities  Corp.
(formerly Zweig Securities Corp.) brokerage commissions of $13,093 in connection
with portfolio transactions effected by it.

One of the Trustees  and all of the  officers of the Trust are also  officers of
the Manager and/or the Distributor. .

NOTE 5--PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

excluding  repurchase  agreements,  short-term  obligations held to maturity and

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and
Board of Trustees of Phoenix-Euclid Market Neutral Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,  including
the  schedule  of  investments  and  securities  sold  short,  and  the  related
statements  of  operations  and of  changes  in net  assets  and  the  financial
highlights present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position of
Phoenix-Euclid  Market  Neutral  Fund  (formerly  Euclid  Market  Neutral  Fund)
(the"Fund") at October 31, 1999, the results of its operations for the year then
ended,  and the changes in its net assets and the financial  highlights for each
of the periods  presented,  in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  These  financial  statements  and financial  highlights  (hereafter
referred to as  "financial  statements")  are the  responsibility  of the Fund's
management;  our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements  based on our  audits.  We  conducted  our audits of these  financial
statements  in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about
whether the financial  statements  are free of material  misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing the  accounting  principles
used and  significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits,  which included
confirmation  of  securities  at October  31,  1999 by  correspondence  with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
