Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Howard N. Kornblue, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio
Manager; G. David Underwood, CFA, Vice President and Director of Research;
Robert M. Kloss, Equity Analyst.
GOAL: Pilgrim MagnaCap Fund seeks growth of capital, with dividend income as a
secondary consideration. As a disciplined investment philosophy fund, MagnaCap
invests in a very select group of companies that have been able to sustain
growth over a 10-year period. In selecting portfolio securities, companies are
generally assessed with reference to the following criteria as ideal:
* A company must pay or had the financial capability from its operations
to pay a dividend in 8 out of the last 10 years.
* A company must have increased its dividend or had the financial
capability from its operations to have increased its dividend at least
100% over the past 10 years.
* Dividend payout must be less than 65% of current earnings.
* Long-term debt should be no more than 25% of total capitalization, or
a company's bonds must be rated at least A- or A-3.
* The current price should be in the lower half of the stock's
price/earnings ratio range for the past ten years, or the ratio of the
price of the company's stock at the time of purchase to its
anticipated future earnings must be an attractive value in relation to
the average for its industry peer group or that of the S&P 500, an
unmanaged index of the stocks of approximately 500
large-capitalization U.S. companies.
MARKET OVERVIEW: All indications are that the United States economy is
remarkably sound. Through June 1999, the current expansion is now 100 months
old. It is already the longest peacetime expansion, and in six months, will be
the longest expansion ever. That is why midway through 1999, stock prices are at
all-time highs. The Federal Reserve tightening on June 30 was the least
aggressive move they could take, and yet still tighten. They raised the Fed
funds rate by 25 basis points to 5%, but left the discount rate unchanged and
went back to a neutral bias. The fact that the Fed indicated it was returning to
a neutral stance has policy significance. It means that the Fed has not
prejudged the situation, but will instead focus on upcoming economic data. The
second quarter of 1999 was marked by a dramatic shift away from the in-favor
"nifty 50" growth names to out-of-favor value stocks. During the quarter, as
confidence grew that the worst of the global economic turmoil was over,
commodities (ex-energy) and capital goods/manufacturing led the pack. The shift
was not just a move to cyclicals, but to value in a general sense.
PERFORMANCE: For the 12-month period ending June 30, 1999, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 15.93%, compared to
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which gained 22.76% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: We believe the Fund's past success can be attributed to the
very explicit investment criteria which normally determine the kinds of
companies that qualify for inclusion in the portfolio. Out of a universe of
approximately 4,000 publicly traded companies, and based upon both in-house and
external research, we aim to select the 60 to 80 equities which we believe will
be most likely to exhibit a high degree of performance. Among the top performing
holdings were American International Group (financial), AlliedSignal
(manufacturing), Halliburton (energy), Honeywell (manufacturing),
SunMicrosystems (computer software & services), and Tellabs (communications). At
the end of June, 1999, the top industry groups were office equipment and
services, communications, pharmaceuticals, retail, and computer software and
service. The top stock holdings were McDonalds, AFLAC, Johnson&Johnson,
Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Automatic Data Processing.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Going forward, we will continue to employ a "bottom-up" approach
to stock selection, drawing from the pool of companies that come closest to
meeting the Fund's strict investment criteria given market conditions, the
circumstances of the company and the sector within which it falls. The bull
market in U. S. stocks is in its eighth year. It has been firmly based on
extraordinary changes in the economy that have given us one of the longest
2
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
economic expansions in U.S. history. This bull market has been one of the best
in U.S. history, and we believe it is likely to continue for several reasons.
First, the economic expansion that has propelled stock prices higher has been
one of the most durable. It has been accompanied by mild inflation, job creation
and high-quality profit growth. Second, the current economic and market cycles
have benefited from several long-term structural changes. This includes a
notable reduction in the government's budget deficit. There has also been a
shift to a more sophisticated, technology driven private sector that has spurred
widespread productivity gains, which offers new opportunities for growth and
jobs. Most bull markets end when stocks are overpriced. However, it has
traditionally been extremely difficult to identify the degree of overpricing at
which any particular bull market will end. We believe stock prices can continue
to rise selectively in 1999 in concert with improvements in corporate earnings
and cash flows. Accordingly, we intend to remain almost fully invested,
selecting stocks on the basis described at the beginning of this paragraph.

LargeCap
Leaders Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: G. David Underwood, CFA, Vice President and Senior Portfolio
Manager; Robert M. Kloss, Equities Research Analyst.
GOAL: Pilgrim LargeCap Leaders Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing in equity securities of large companies that the advisor believes are
leaders in their industry, companies with market capitalizations over $10
billion and believed to be leaders in their industry.
MARKET OVERVIEW: During most of the 12-month period ending June 30, 1999, the
U.S. equity market was characterized by:
* A narrow advance among large-capitalization stocks,
* Outperformance of growth stocks versus value stocks, and
* Outperformance of large-capitalization stocks versus mid- and
small-capitalization stocks.
Investor attention had been directed toward large-capitalization growth stocks
since 1997. Many of these stocks benefited from corporate restructuring that
began in the 1980's. Throughout last year however, the largest 50 stocks in the
S&P 500, an unmanaged index of the stocks of approximately 500
large-capitalization U.S. companies, accounted for most of the index's
appreciation. Several factors accounted for this. The first being that investors
grew concerned that the economies of emerging markets would be hampered by deep
recessions. Secondly, investors feared these recessionary forces would spread to
the U.S. and European economies. Finally, investors suspected that corporate
earnings and profitability would wane as a result of a global recession.
Consequently, a select few large-capitalization stocks provided the safe haven
from these forces.
Preference shifted by the beginning of the second quarter of 1999, as it became
apparent that growth of the U.S. economy remained strong and that global
economic conditions were also improving. Investors migrated to more cyclical
stocks, particularly those of the Basic Industries and the Energy sectors, where
depressed commodity prices stood to benefit from rising global economic
activity.
The shifting market preferences in the Spring of 1999 also resulted in broader
participation among market sectors. For example, over the past 12 months, only
the Technology and Communications Services sectors outperformed the S&P 500
Index. During the second quarter however, six of the 11 sectors of the market --
Basic Industries, Capital Goods, Communication Services, Energy, Technology and
Utilities -- outperformed the Index. Still, participation among stocks was
relatively narrow, as the 7% gain of the S&P 500 in the quarter was attributed
to 70 companies.
PERFORMANCE: For the 12-month period ending June 30, 1999, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 20.66% compared to
the S&P 500 Index, which gained 22.76% and the S&P/Barra Value Index, an
unmanaged index comprised of all of the stocks in the S&P 500 Index that have
low price-to-book ratios which gained 16.49%, for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Appropriate sector allocation and good stock selection,
combined with a disciplined portfolio management approach, led to the Fund's
strong investment performance. The Fund has maintained about 20% in
technology-related industries for much of the past year. Holdings in the stocks
of Sun Microsystems, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Cisco Systems, America Online and
Microsoft performed particularly well. The Fund's holdings in Dupont, Alcoa,
Tyco Industries, Chevron and Schlumberger were equally strong in the most recent
quarter.
As of the end of June, Computers was the largest sector of the Fund, followed by
Pharmaceuticals, Retail, Financial and Communications.
MARKET OUTLOOK: The market environment still appears favorable for investment in
large-capitalization companies. We expect the equity market to broaden further,
as more groups and more individual stocks participate in the markets advance.
Finally, we still see value in the long-term franchises of the leading companies
in which the fund invests.

Growth Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Catherine Somhegyi, Partner, Chief Investment Officer, Global
Equity Management; Andrew Gallagher, Partner, Portfolio Manager; Bill Chenoweth,
CFA, Partner, Portfolio Manager; Thomas Sullivan, Portfolio Manager; Emmy
Sobieski, CFA, Portfolio Manager; Trisha Schuster, CFA, Portfolio Manager.
GOAL: Pilgrim LargeCap Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities of large U.S. companies.
MARKET OVERVIEW: During the second quarter of 1999, returns for large-cap stocks
were solid. The S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of the stocks of approximately
500 large-capitalization U.S. companies, and Russell 1000 Index, an unmanaged
index of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, each gained
7.1%. However, their returns were exceeded by small-caps and mid-caps for the
first time since the third quarter of 1997. For much of the past few years,
investors have shown a decided preference for the liquidity and safety of
large-cap stocks, especially a select few companies.
During the second quarter, investors showed renewed interest in the fundamental
strengths and attractive valuations within smaller-cap segments. The U.S. stock
market was also characterized by higher long-term interest rates and the
outperformance of value versus growth stocks.
PERFORMANCE: For the three-month period ending June 30, 1999*, the Fund's Class
A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 12.63%, compared
to the Russell 1000 Growth Index, an unmanaged index consisting of those
companies among the Russell 1000 Index with higher than average price-to-book
ratios and forecasted growth, which gained 3.85% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Superior stock selection, especially in the consumer
services and technology sectors, resulted in the fund's outperformance. The
top-performing holdings in the quarter were MGM Grand, AT&T and Republic
Service. In addition to strong gambling operations, MGM benefits from its
convention center operations, a recent acquisition and cost-cutting efforts.
AT&T continues to build on its traditional strength in long-distance
communications by branching out into wireless and cable.
During the quarter, as a result of our bottom-up approach, we increased our
exposure to technology-related stocks to approximately 30% of the fund. We
trimmed exposure to consumer non-durables, consumer services and retail stocks
during the quarter.
MARKET OUTLOOK: We view the Fed's decision to raise short-term interest rates by
25 basis points on the last day of the quarter as a sign of its proactive
approach. That move could keep the economy in a modest growth phase and limit
inflation concerns, both positives for the stock market. In addition, the Fed's
announcement that it had changed its bias from "tightening" to "neutral" may
relieve some investor worries about the potential for additional rate hikes in
the near future. This bodes well for growth stocks. We are encouraged by the
broader advance stocks displayed in the second quarter. The environment for
active management has improved.
We continue to see robust growth opportunities within the technology sector,
especially the telecommunications and telecommunications equipment industries
where demand remains strong. In addition, wireless communications, particularly
among companies specializing in digital technology, remains an area of strength.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

MidCap
Value Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Gerald Cramer, Chairman; Edward Rosenthal, Co-Chairman; Ronald
McGlynn, President, Co-Chief Investment Officer; Jay Abramson, Co-Chief
Investment Officer.*
GOAL: Pilgrim MidCap Value Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation
by investing primarily in the equity securities of medium-sized U.S. companies.
A medium-capitalization company has a market capitalization between $200 million
and $5 billion at the time of the Fund's investment.
MARKET OVERVIEW: We saw a capital markets shift during the quarter, with an
impressive showing from smaller-cap stocks and value stocks in particular.
Quarterly performance for the Russell 2500 Index, an unmanaged index consisting
of the 2,500 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, surpassed that of
large stocks for the first time since the third quarter of 1997, returning 16.4%
versus a gain of 7.1% in large-cap issues.
PERFORMANCE: For the 12-month period ending June 30, 1999, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 0.95% compared to
the Russell Midcap Index, an unmanaged index consisting of the 800 smallest
companies in the Russell 1000 Index which gained 11.31% and the Russell MidCap
Value Index, an unmanaged index consisting of companies in the Russell Midcap
Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values which
gained 5.63% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Most of our performance came from very company-specific
circumstances. For example, Healthsouth was our best performing stock as the
company hit their first quarter earnings and initiated a sizeable stock buyback.
Also, Republic Services was a new holding for us during the quarter, giving us
immediate performance results.
MARKET OUTLOOK: We have seen at least the initial stages of a shift in sentiment
towards a much broader stock market, including smaller-cap and value stocks. We
remain positioned to take advantage of any continuation in this shift and still
continue to find businesses that are both sound and attractively priced, with
management dedicated to taking aggressive steps to enhance shareholder value.
* Effective October 1, 1999, Pilgrim Investments, Inc. will begin providing
investment advisory services directly for the MidCap Value Fund.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Catherine Somhegyi, Partner, Chief Investment Officer, Global
Equity Management; Bill Chenoweth, CFA, Partner, Portfolio Manager; Andrew
Gallagher, Partner, Portfolio Manager; Thomas Sullivan, Portfolio Manager; Emmy
Sobieski, CFA, Portfolio Manager; Trisha Schuster, CFA, Portfolio Manager; Tom
Smith, Investment Analyst.
GOAL: Pilgrim MidCap Growth Fund seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation
through investments primarily in equity securities of medium-sized U.S.
companies.
MARKET OVERVIEW: For much of the second quarter, the U.S. equity market was
characterized by a resurgence among value stocks. While investors showed
renewed interest in the small-cap and mid-cap segments of the market, value
stocks outperformed. In this difficult environment, our growth-oriented
investment style was not in favor.
In addition, rising interest rates during the quarter impacted stocks with
strong earnings growth rates and high price-to-earnings ratios, often precisely
the types of stocks in which we invest.
PERFORMANCE: During the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's
Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 7.07%,
compared to the Russell MidCap Growth Index, an unmanaged index consisting of
the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index with higher than average
price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth, which gained 10.34% for the same
period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Our significant weighting in technology-related industries
negatively affected the fund's performance. Given the market dynamics and
investor preference for value-oriented issues, technology stocks were
vulnerable.
However, later in the quarter, fund returns benefited from the rebound among
select technology stocks. We continue to see promise within the technology
sector on a stock-specific basis, especially within the telecommunications
industry, due to escalating demand.
In fact, among the fund's best-performing holdings for the quarter were Conexant
Systems, a manufacturer of semiconductor products for communications
applications, and Winstar Communications, a local and long-distance
telecommunications services provider.
As a result of the continued application of our bottom-up stock selection
process, we increased our exposure to technology-related and energy-related
stocks, and reduced our weighting in financial-related stocks versus the prior
quarter.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Based on the fundamental strengths, the outlook for all our
holdings right now is extremely encouraging. While the potential for rising
interest rates remains a concern, we think the Fed's proactive efforts should
keep the economy in a modest growth phase and limit inflation, both good factors
for stocks. Further, our bottom-up approach is highly adaptable and helps us
capture areas of strength wherever they're occurring. We expect earnings will
continue to accelerate, and our style of stock picking will continue to do well.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

Growth Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Catherine Somhegyi, Partner, Chief Investment Officer, Global
Equity Management; Thomas E. Bleakley, Partner, Portfolio Manager; Aaron M.
Harris, Portfolio Manager; John C. McCraw, Portfolio Manager; Paul E. Cluskey,
Portfolio Manager; Travis Prentice, Investment Analyst.
GOAL: Pilgrim SmallCap Growth Fund seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation
through investments primarily in equity securities of small-sized U.S.
companies.
MARKET OVERVIEW: Similar to mid-cap stocks, small-cap stocks had been largely
overlooked for much of the past few years. However, in the second quarter,
investors returned and performance results for small-caps outpaced large-caps
for the first time since the third quarter of 1997.
In addition to the resurgence of small-cap stocks, the second quarter was
characterized by higher long-term interest rates and the outperformance of value
versus growth stocks. Amid a rising interest rate environment, investors turned
to lower valuation stocks. The Russell 2000 Value Index, an unmanaged index
consisting of those Russell 2000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and
lower forecasted growth values, gained 16.6% versus a 14.8% advance for the
Russell 2000 Growth Index, an unmanaged index consisting of those Russell 2000
companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.
PERFORMANCE: During the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's
Class A shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 14.11%
compared to the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which gained 14.75% for the same
period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Holdings in the financial services and healthcare sectors
boosted relative performance during the quarter. Among the best-performing
financial services stocks were Metris and E-Loan. Strong-performing
healthcare-related stocks included Mede America and Andrx.
Exposure to technology-related stocks negatively affected relative performance
during the quarter. Internet-leveraged stocks that came under profit-taking
pressure such as Earthweb, NetObjects and Fatbrain.com detracted from returns.
While returns for technology-related stocks were disappointing, especially early
in the quarter, they rebounded sharply and we continue to see robust growth
opportunities within the technology sector. During the quarter, we reduced our
exposure to software stocks amid sluggish sales stemming from uncertainty
regarding the Y2K issue. However, we continue to find other exciting
stock-specific opportunities within the technology sector. Holdings in the
technology-related and healthcare sectors continue to comprise more than 40% of
the fund.
MARKET OUTLOOK: The fundamental strengths of fund holdings inspire optimism. We
continue to find promising stocks meeting our investment criteria. Further, we
view the Fed's decision to raise short-term interest rates by 25 basis points on
the last day of the quarter as a sign of its proactive approach. That move could
keep the economy in a modest growth phase and limit inflation concerns, both
positives for the stock market.
We are encouraged by the broader advance stocks displayed in the second quarter.
The environment for active management has improved.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

Pilgrim
Bank and
Thrift Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Carl Dorf, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager,
Jeffrey B. Cross, Equity Analyst; Steven L. Raynor, CFA, CPA, Equity Research
Analyst; Julia Hamilton, Junior Research Analyst.
GOAL: Pilgrim Bank and Thrift Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with
income as a secondary objective. The Fund primarily invests in equity securities
of national and state-chartered banks (other than money-center banks), thrifts,
or their holding or parent companies, and in savings accounts of mutual thrifts
that allows the Fund to participate in stock conversions of the mutual thrift.
MARKET OVERVIEW: Financial stocks continue to underperform the overall market.
This sector has performed poorly for about one and one half years following five
excellent years of performance. Large-cap stocks have outperformed the
smaller-cap names, and in our opinion, risk has not been factored into stock
price performance but liquidity has. Big has been beautiful and the momentum
style of investing has been in favor while the value style which we favor has
been out of favor.
During this 12-month period of time the following sectors which we believe have
above average risk were the strongest in terms of price performance in the
financial sector: Money-Center Banks, Stock Brokers and Credit Card Companies.
We have little or no exposure to these areas, and this has hurt our relative
performance.
A slow-down in bank consolidation and recent concern over rising interest rates
has contributed to the poor performance of the sector.
PERFORMANCE: For the 12-month period ending June 30, 1999, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, declined 8.61%. During this same time frame the
S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of the stocks of approximately 500
large-capitalization U.S. companies, gained 22.76%. The S&P Major Regional Banks
Index, an unmanaged index comprised of major regional banks in the S&P 500
Index, gained 4.35%. The NASDAQ 100 Financial Index, an unmanaged index of the
100 largest financial companies traded on NASDAQ, gained 2.49%.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The last 12 months of performance represents the most
dismal period that I can recall since I started to manage the Fund in January of
1991. Part of this poor performance comes from the sector being out of favor,
part from avoiding what I perceived as risk, and part from some poor selections
in our non-bank and thrift holdings. The substantial inflow of new money into
the Fund last year resulted in our holding onto some positions that performed
well too long. I also have substantially increased the Fund's weighting in
smaller-cap names in anticipation of a pick-up in bank consolidation, which has
recently started. This move hurt the last 12-month performance, but has now
started to benefit us. Our Fund has recently benefited from three proposed
takeovers. Late in calendar 1998, we started to see net outflows from the Fund
that are continuing in 1999. This has forced us to be more active on the sell
side, and we have had above-average success in choosing these candidates.
MARKET OUTLOOK: We believe that our Fund currently offers exceptional
opportunity on both an absolute and a relative price basis at this time. We do
not believe that it is in shareholder's best interests to redeem, and would
encourage shareholders to add to their investment in the Fund. The fundamentals
that effect the industry are still very good. The modest rise in interest rates
that we have experienced in many cases will improve margins and consequently,
the earnings outlook for these stocks. The worsening of credit experience is
coming from very low levels, and is still very low and only being experienced on
a selective basis. We have paid careful attention to credit quality in our stock
selection, and most of our holdings are not experiencing any deterioration.
Also, consolidation has started to pick up again, and we believe that the
posture that we took in shifting the Fund into smaller-cap and mid-cap names,
which contributed to our poor performance in the last 12 months, is just
starting to pay off.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph above illustrates the total
return of Pilgrim Bank and Thrift Fund against the S&P 500 Index and the S&P
Major Regional Banks Index. In the table, the Fund is also compared to the
NASDAQ 100 Financial Index. This index is not shown on the graph above because
it does not have 10 years of total return information available. The Indices
have an inherent performance advantage over the Fund since they have no cash in
their portfolio, impose no sales charges and incur no operating expenses. An
investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund's performance is shown
both with and without the imposition of sales charges.
Prior to October 20, 1997, the Fund operated as a closed-end investment company.
All performance information prior to this date reflects the historical expense
levels of the Fund as a closed-end investment company without adjustment for the
higher annual expenses of the Fund's Class A shares. Performance would have been
lower if adjusted for these charges and expenses. Ten-year returns assume no
participation in the 1992 rights offering and full participation in the 1993
rights offering, and reflect an additional investment of $3,639 into the fund. A
simultaneous investment of the same amount is included in each index for
comparative reasons.

that is not concentrated in one industry.

Growth Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Catherine Somhegyi, Partner, Chief Investment Officer, Global
Equity Management; Lawrence S. Speidell, CFA, Partner, Director of
Global/Systematic Portfolio Management and Research; Andrew B. Gallagher,
Partner, Portfolio Manager; Loretta J. Morris, Partner, Portfolio Manager;
Ernesto Ramos, Ph.D., Senior Portfolio Manager; Melisa A. Grigolite, Portfolio
Manager.
GOAL: Pilgrim Worldwide Growth Fund seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation
through investments in equity securities of issuers located in countries around
the world, which may include the U.S.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The positive trends of mergers and acquisitions, economic
recoveries in Asian countries, as well as the continued low-inflation
environment worldwide boosted returns for global equity markets in the second
quarter.
In the United States, the potent combination of robust economic growth and
non-existent inflation drove large-cap stocks to record highs, with the S&P 500
Index, an unmanaged index of the stocks of approximately 500
large-capitalization U.S. Companies, gaining 7.1% in the second quarter. In
Japan, a much-anticipated economic recovery in the first quarter carried the
country's equity market higher. Japan's gross domestic product grew 1.9% in the
first three months of 1999 following six quarters of negative growth. In Europe,
optimism that economic growth will pick up in the second half of 1999 also
boosted equity market returns.
Equity markets around the globe benefited from the positive trends of:
* merger and acquisition activities,
* corporate restructuring, and
* privatization and deregulation of industries.
PERFORMANCE: For the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 10.24% compared to
the MSCI World Index, an unmanaged index comprised of more than 1400 securities
listed on exchanges in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the
Far East, which gained 4.48% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Stock selection in Japan, the Netherlands and Finland
positively impacted returns. Among the fund's top-performing holdings during the
period were Thailand-based Siam Commercial Bank, Japan's Softbank Corp., a
software/Internet company, and STMicroelectronics, a semiconductor manufacturer
based in the Netherlands.
We increased our weighting in the Pacific Rim to over 13% as of June 30 from
about 9% at the end of March as we continue to find stocks benefiting from the
positive changes in the region. Our bottom-up stock selection approach also
helped us uncover exciting opportunities in Europe, where the fund had over a
24% weighting as of the end of June. The fund's weighting in the United States
and Canada stood at over 51% during the period.
MARKET OUTLOOK: The long-term prospects for global investing remain promising as
economic growth in many countries is expected to improve throughout 1999 and
2000. Factors such as the resumption of consumer demand in European countries
and the economic recovery in emerging Asian nations and in Japan are seen to
provide a favorable backdrop for stock pickers.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph above illustrates the total
return of Pilgrim Worldwide Growth Fund against the Morgan Stanley Capital
International (MSCI) World Index. The Index has an inherent performance
advantage over the Fund since it has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales
charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in
an index. The Fund's performance is shown both with and without the imposition
of sales charges.
Total returns reflect the fact that the Investment Adviser has contractually

International Core
Growth Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Catherine Somhegyi, Partner, Chief Investment Officer, Global
Equity Management; Lawrence S. Speidell, CFA, Partner, Director of
Global/Systematic Portfolio Management and Research; Loretta J. Morris, Partner,
Portfolio Manager; Ernesto Ramos, Ph.D., Senior Portfolio Manager; Melisa A.
Grigolite, Portfolio Manager.
GOAL: Pilgrim International Core Growth Fund seeks maximum long-term capital
appreciation through investments primarily in companies located outside the
United States and whose capitalizations are in the top 75% of publicly-traded
companies in their countries.
MARKET OVERVIEW: During the second quarter, evidence of strong economic growth
in the United States triggered rising interest rates and inflation concerns.
Among international markets, yield curves steepened in concert with the U.S.
market as investors feared monetary tightening would be needed to curb
inflation pressures and crimp a robust U.S. economy. Extending that scenario,
investors looked ahead and feared slower U.S. economic growth would negatively
impact the rest of the world. Despite these fears, non-U.S. stocks posted
gains.
International equity markets benefited from the positive trends of:
* merger and acquisition activities,
* corporate restructuring, and
* privatization and deregulation of industries.
In Japan, evidence of economic recovery, as reflected by the 1.9% rise in the
country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the first quarter of 1999, contributed
to the favorable environment in international investing late in the quarter. The
positive GDP figure, which ended six quarters of negative growth, signaled the
return of investor confidence in the country during the period.
PERFORMANCE: For the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 6.83%, compared to
the MSCI EAFE Index, an unmanaged index of major overseas markets, which gained
2.19% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Stock selection in Japan and the Netherlands positively
impacted returns for the fund. Holdings in the technology, retail trade, and
commercial/ industrial sectors contributed to gains. We have uncovered exciting
opportunities on a stock-by-stock basis in Japan. Companies such as: Softbank
Corp., a software/Internet firm; Ryohin Keikaku, a retail company; and Shohkoh
Fund, a lending firm, were among our best-performing holdings in the period.
In the United Kingdom, we own ARM Holdings PLC, the fund's top contributor in
the second quarter. The company designs reduced instruction set computing (RISC)
microprocessors. It licenses and sells its technology and products to
semiconductor and electronics manufacturers, including Alcatel, Intel, Lucent,
Samsung, Sony and Texas Instruments.
As of June 30, the fund had a 51% weighting in Europe and 32% in the Pacific
Rim.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Looking ahead, the long-term prospects for international
investing remain promising as economic growth in many countries is expected to
improve throughout 1999 and 2000. Factors such as the resumption of consumer
demand in European countries, and the economic recovery in emerging Asian
nations and in Japan are seen to provide a favorable backdrop for stock pickers.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

MANAGEMENT TEAM: Catherine Somhegyi, Partner, Chief Investment Officer, Global
Equity Management; Lawrence S. Speidell, CFA, Partner, Director of
Global/Systematic Portfolio Management and Research; Loretta J. Morris, Partner,
Portfolio Manager; Ernesto Ramos, Ph.D., Senior Portfolio Manager; Melisa
Grigolite, Portfolio Manager.
GOAL: Pilgrim International SmallCap Growth Fund seeks maximum long-term capital
appreciation through investments primarily in small companies located outside
the United States, emphasizing the bottom 75% of publicly-traded companies as
measured by market capitalization in each country.
MARKET OVERVIEW: International small-caps have delivered solid gains in the
second quarter of 1999. The pick-up in economic growth in many countries around
the globe, resurgent consumer demand in developing nations and the recovery in
commodity prices positively impacted returns for international small-caps.
Corporate restructuring was also a major factor that bolstered performance. In
Japan, for example, management teams at smaller-cap companies have embraced
restructuring programs more quickly than those at more established, large-cap
firms. As a result, small-cap stocks in Japan have surged.
PERFORMANCE: For the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 13.17% compared to
the Salomon EPAC Extended Market Index, an unmanaged index comprised of
smaller-capitalization companies in 22 countries excluding Canada and the United
States which gained 5.33% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Stock selection in Japan, Germany and Hong Kong positively
impacted the fund's returns during the period. Stock selection in the
technology, consumer services, retail trade and financial services sectors also
contributed to gains.
As of the end of June, we had a 45% weighting in Europe as we continue to
uncover promising opportunities in the region. We raised our weighting in the
Pacific Rim to 41% as of June 30 from 33% at the end of the first quarter. Our
bottom-up approach to equity investing led us to unearth exciting opportunities
in the region.
In Japan, the fund owns Hikari Tsushin, a major telecommunications subscription
agency. The company benefits from strong cellular phone subscriber growth,
focused product offerings and distribution, as well as dynamic management. In
the United Kingdom, we own ARM Holdings PLC, the fund's top contributor in the
second quarter. The company designs reduced instruction set computing (RISC)
microprocessors. It licenses and sells its technology and products to
semiconductor and electronics manufacturers, including Alcatel, Intel, Lucent,
Samsung, Sony and Texas Instruments.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Despite a lack of widespread recognition, the long-term outlook
for smaller-cap stocks in non-U.S. markets remains favorable. The growing
popularity of national exchanges that list smaller-cap issues, such as Japan's
Jasdaq market, the Nouveau Marche in France and the Neuer Markt in Germany, is
seen to provide exciting opportunities for stock pickers. Tighter regulations
and better listing standards for these markets make them ideal places to look
for high-quality stocks.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

Global/Systematic Portfolio Management and Research; Pedro V. Marcal, Partner,
Portfolio Manager; Jessica Goncalves, Portfolio Manager; Ernesto Ramos, Ph.D.,
Portfolio Manager; Jon Borchardt, Investment Analyst; Jason Campbell, Investment
Analyst.
GOAL: Pilgrim Emerging Countries Fund seeks maximum long-term capital
appreciation through investments in equity securities of issuers located in
countries with emerging securities markets.
MARKET OVERVIEW: Almost two years following a debilitating financial crisis in
emerging countries, many markets in Asia and Latin America, as well as those in
the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region registered gains in the
six-month period ending June 30, 1999. The following factors boosted returns:
* significant economic recoveries in many emerging countries,
* declining interest rates,
* government efforts to implement structural reforms,
* corporate restructuring, and
* recovery in commodity prices.
In Asia, banking sector restructuring has helped accelerate the pace of economic
reform. In Thailand, where the currency crisis of 1997 started, the government
has embarked on a program to recapitalize troubled banks. These banks, which
suffered from a rise in non-performing loans, are in the process of repairing
their depleted capital bases and raising new funds to cover their bad loans.
Another country on the path of economic recovery is South Korea, which continues
to benefit from the government's ongoing implementation of economic reforms.
PERFORMANCE: For the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 24.65% compared to
the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index, an unmanaged index comprised of companies
representative of the market structure of 22 emerging market countries in
Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Basin, which gained 23.62% for the same
period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Amid an improving environment for emerging markets, stock
selection, especially in Asia, was the greatest contributor to the fund's
gains. Holdings in Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore were among the best
performers during the period. We significantly increased our weighting in Asia
in the period as we uncovered exciting opportunities on a stock-by-stock basis
in the region. Datacraft Asia of Singapore, an information technology service
provider and the premier systems integrator for Cisco Systems and Ascend
Communications, was one of the fund's top performers.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Although uncertainties in emerging markets remain, such as
political and regulatory issues as well as liquidity problems, long-term
prospects are compelling. These countries exhibit the following attractive
fundamentals:
* important share of world GDP and population,
* competitive labor costs, and
* rising productivity.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

Rosanna Lam, Director; Richard Wong, Associate Director; Simon Yap, Associate
Director; Seng Keong Wan, Senior Portfolio Manager; Leilani Lam, Portfolio
Manager; Vernon Yu, Portfolio Manager; Sherwin Soo, Portfolio Manager.
GOAL: Pilgrim Asia-Pacific Equity Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital
appreciation by investing in equity securities listed on stock exchanges in
countries in the Asia-Pacific region or issued by companies based in this
region, excluding Australia and Japan.
MARKET OVERVIEW: During the 12-month period ending June 30, 1999, the Asian
stock markets registered strong gains on the back of lower interest rates,
substantial liquidity inflows and expectations of an economic recovery. In
addition, rallies in the U.S. and Japan were a key influence on sentiment. Korea
made the most significant surge as a result of buoyant domestic liquidity and
foreign participation. Singapore's low interest rates, attractive macro policy
and proactive corporate restructuring were positive for foreign funds inflow.
Hong Kong's performance was basically in line with the U.S., while favorable
China matters such as the country's effort to reflate its domestic economy and
rotational buying in H-shares and China concept stocks, due to cheap valuations,
added a sweetener for buying interest. Elsewhere, Indonesia was helped by
declining interest rates supported by decelerating inflation, strengthened
currency and a peaceful election campaign. Malaysia was helped by the falling
interest rates and a possible MSCI reinstallation. Thailand's
better-than-expected first quarter Gross Domestic Product of 0.9%, the first
increase in seven quarters, confirmed the view that the economy is on the road
to recovery. The economic recovery appears to be finding a broader base in the
Philippines with improvements starting to show in the consumer sector. Taiwan
was a relative laggard among Asian markets as disappointing corporate results
and lack of government initiatives to support the market initially affected
retail investors' buying interest. The influx of foreign investors was induced
later by the better-than-expected industrial output and export growth numbers.
PERFORMANCE: For the 12-month period ending June 30, 1999, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, earned a total return of 61.88% compared to
87.02% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Countries Far East Free
ex-Japan Index (the "MSCI"), a performance measurement of Far East markets
excluding Japan.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The correct overweight position, relative to the benchmark,
in China due to attractive bottom-up valuations of companies contributed to the
Fund's performance. The Fund reaped benefits from a subsequent rush of liquidity
into neglected China plays following the government's aggressive relation
policy. Stock selection was good, particularly on cyclical and recovery concept
stocks which did well on growing optimism that Asia has seen the worst. The
focus on airlines, banks and petrochemical stocks was correctly identified. The
performance was somewhat limited by the underweight stance, relative to the
benchmark, in Korea, which has done extremely well on the back of buoyant local
liquidity and strong foreign interest as a result of increased weight given by
MSCI.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Signs of an improving export performance and recovering domestic
economies against the background of (generally) low interest rates, continues to
be highly supportive of regional equity markets. Further Fed tightening would be
more challenging to regional equity markets than the recent extremely modest
move, especially for Hong Kong. However, an improving global growth outlook is
positive for both absolute, and relative return prospects in the region as a
whole.

Income Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Robert K. Kinsey, Vice President & Senior Portfolio
Manager; Charles G. Ullerich, CFA, Portfolio Manager.
GOALS: Pilgrim Government Securities Income Fund seeks high current income,
consistent with liquidity and preservation of capital, by investing in
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and certain of its
agencies or instrumentalities.
BOND MARKET OVERVIEW: The second half of 1998 witnessed extraordinary price
volatility and illiquidity as a number of hedge-funds and emerging markets
collapsed. Periods of extreme illiquidity and risk aversion are characterized by
a flight to quality with purchases of on-the-run Treasuries at the expense of
all other asset classes. Yields on 30-year Treasuries reached a low of 4.72%.
Many market observers felt that financial markets stood at the precipice of
collapse as credit markets ground to a halt. Once the Federal Reserve stepped in
with aggressive easings, the markets stabilized. The long bond closed out the
year at 5.10%.
Calm returned to the fixed income markets with the new year. Mortgage and agency
paper tightened, yet U. S. Treasury yields rose. As it became clear that the
economy would not fall into the abyss, the very Fed easings that alleviated the
market's liquidity fears were now seen as inflationary. The 30-year Treasury
moved to a high of 5.70% during the first quarter.
By the second quarter of 1999, risk aversion once again crept back into the
fixed income markets. Although memories of last autumn's credit debacle are
partially to blame, this period of illiquidity has many different causes.
Monumental new debt issuance and broker-dealer hesitancy to inventory
non-government bonds are the primary culprits. Fed tightening coupled with
renewed troubles in many Latin American debt markets have compounded the
problems of a skittish market. Moreover, swap spreads, the levels at which large
institutional investors may swap fixed rate paper for floating rate and vice
versa, are now posed to match the levels last seen in the worst days of October,
1998. Wide swap spreads have a negative impact on agency and mortgage-backed
paper. Consequently, mortgage, agency, and off-the-run Treasury spreads have
widened in tandem with the deterioration of sister markets. Faced with a robust
economy and subsequent Fed tightening, the 30-year Treasury moved to a high of
6.16% during the second quarter.
PERFORMANCE: For the 12-month period ended June 30, 1999, the Funds's Class A
Shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 1.89% compared to
the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Treasury Index, an unmanaged index containing
public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with an intermediate maturity range,
which returned 4.49% in the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The mortgage market has been challenged over the last 12
months by a flight to quality, high prepayments, and finally by wide swap
spreads. We have moved to limit the allowable duration range of the portfolio in
order to dampen price volatility and reduce risk. Our shortening of duration on
the eve of renewed inflationary fears has served us well, yet the need for yield
compels us to maintain a high degree of mortgage-backed securities in a less
than sanguine environment.
MARKET OUTLOOK: The supply avalanche that has blighted the corporate bond market
directly and government securities indirectly provides an opportunity to add
desirable issues at very cheap levels. The spreads on bullet agencies are
approaching historic levels. We will focus on adding positions throughout the
summer in an effort to exploit the market's illiquidity. Going forward we intend
to add securities less vulnerable to the vagaries of prepayments, while
remaining cognizant of the income generation of the fund. Anticipation of a
further Fed tightening in August may well push interest rates to near-term highs
which may provide us with the opportunity to extend duration.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the graph above illustrates the total
return of Pilgrim Government Securities Fund against the Lehman Intermediate
Treasury Index. The Index has an inherent performance advantage over the Fund
since it has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no
operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund's
performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.
Total returns reflect the fact that the Investment Adviser has contractually
agreed to waive or defer its management fee and to pay other operating expenses
otherwise payable by the Fund, subject to possible later reimbursement during a
three-year period. Total returns would have been lower had there been no
deferral to the Fund.

Pilgrim
Strategic
Income Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM: Robert K. Kinsey, Vice President & Senior Portfolio
Manager; Kevin Mathews, Senior Vice President & Senior Portfolio Manager.
GOALS: Pilgrim Strategic Income Fund (the "Fund") seeks maximum total return by
investing primarily in debt securities issued by U.S. and foreign corporations,
as well as U.S. and Foreign governments and their agencies and
instrumentalities, that are rated investment grade by a nationally recognized
statistical rating agency, or of comparable quality if unrated. Up to 40% of the
Fund's assets may be invested in high yield debt securities rated below
investment grade.
MARKET OVERVIEW: Risk aversion has once again crept back into the
investment-grade fixed income markets. From April 1st through June 30th, spreads
widened in the face of monumental new issue supply and broker-dealer hesitancy
to inventory non-government bonds. Renewed troubles in many Latin American debt
markets, coupled with Fed tightening have moved many issues out to or near the
wide levels witnessed in January of this year. Swap spreads, which are seen by
some as a barometer of financial system liquidity, are now posed to match the
levels seen in October, 1998 during the worst of the hedge fund and credit
spread debacle.
The high yield market has continued to experience technical weakness through the
first six months of 1999. Although there was fear in the market of an economic
slowdown and rising interest rates and inflation, high yield bond prices
remained stable to slightly lower. As a result, spreads narrowed to Treasuries
through early May. As the second quarter ended, the market became increasingly
concerned about credit quality and the bias of the Federal Reserve on monetary
policy. High yield bond prices moved lower causing spreads to widen slightly in
late May and June.
PERFORMANCE: For the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, were down 1.23% compared to the Lehman
Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index of fixed income securities, which was
down 0.88%.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The wholesale deterioration in the investment grade fixed
income markets was partially offset by our reduction in Latin American names and
the paring back of Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities, two sectors that were
subsequently hit very hard. Additions to the portfolio are more tradable, and in
some cases multi-billion dollar, issues in anticipation of the markets
preference for liquidity. The relative value, or cheapness, of the high yield
markets provided an opportunity to increase our allocation from the mid-teens to
about 35%. High yield positions were consolidated as smaller holdings were sold
and exposure was increased to the Telecommunications sector. Finally, we closed
out all non-dollar positions.
MARKET OUTLOOK: The supply avalanche that has blighted the investment grade
market provides an opportunity to add quality names at very cheap levels. Given
that most issuers have decided to complete all their funding needs well before
the fourth quarter and Y2K, spreads should revert to their mean in the near
future. Although repeated Fed tightenings will eventually moderate the economy,
we do not anticipate major profit dislocations.
Although high yield bonds have recovered from the liquidity crunch of the third
quarter of 1998, we believe they continue to trade relatively cheap to
historical averages. Lacking a further dramatic move upward in interest rates or
inflation in the coming year, high yield should provide attractive returns
versus other fixed income asset classes.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

Pilgrim
High Yield
Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Kevin Mathews, Senior Vice President & Senior Portfolio
Manager.
GOALS: Pilgrim High Yield Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income,
with capital appreciation as a secondary objective, by investing in high yield
debt securities.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The 12-month period ending June 30, 1999 began, as one of the
most friendly to high yield bonds that we have seen in several years. Shortly
after the beginning of the period major shocks were sent through the capital
markets giving us some of the widest spreads we have seen since the recession in
1989-1990.
High yield spreads widened as a result of a flight to quality, which took place
in July and August, 1998. This occurred as a result of major dislocations in
foreign markets, primarily based on the fear that the Russian economy might
collapse. These fears, in hindsight, were overblown, but there were major
repercussions in the global bond market.
Credit spreads on high yield bonds widened dramatically to levels not seen since
the 1990 recession. Many market participants were caught off guard as liquidity
was reduced. Leverage employed by certain market participants, particularly
hedge funds, resulted in heavy losses as foreign markets traded off. Many major
banks and brokerage firms had loaned money or actually taken equity positions in
these funds. As losses mounted, the lenders became more conservative. The major
market makers, or dealers, of high yield instruments cut their capital available
for trading operations as part of this push towards conservatism. As a result,
fewer or no bids were available to sellers of bonds, and bond prices dropped.
New issue activity slowed considerably as buyers had less cash to spend. What
looked like a potentially record breaking year for new issues after six months,
turned out to be just an above average year by the end of December, 1998.
As 1999 began, the market stabilized and spreads began to narrow. However,
spreads remained wider than they had been in the first half of 1998. Investors
were now concerned that the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") had changed
its bias from easing monetary policy to a more neutral stance. By the end of our
fiscal year June, 1999, more investors had become concerned that inflation might
pick up. Interest rates had risen significantly from late 1998. On June 30th,
the FOMC raised the Fed Funds rate from 4.75% to 5.00%, tightening monetary
policy.
It now appears that the FOMC is trying to engineer a soft landing by slowing the
economy and keeping inflation under control without driving the country into a
recession. If they successfully engineered another soft landing, as they did
earlier in the decade, it would be positive for high yield issues.
PERFORMANCE: For the 12-month period ended June 30, 1999, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of -5.57% compared to
the Lehman Brothers High Yield Index, an unmanaged index of high yield bonds,
which returned -0.38%, and the First Boston High Yield Index, an unmanaged index
of high yield bonds, which returned -0.85% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: It was a difficult environment for high yield bonds the
last 12 months. The Fund was particularly hit hard by exposure to
commodity-based industries such as mining and steel.
Positively impacting performance was our heavy weighting in the communications
sector. This area of the economy continues to grow at rates above the general
growth rate in the United States. The fund also benefited from its core
investment philosophy, which prevented the ownership of foreign and emerging
markets issues. The fund avoided these sectors which underperformed the market
for the period.
MARKET OUTLOOK: Much depends on the actions the FOMC takes in the next several
quarters. We have an economy that is growing, and inflation rates that are
reasonable. If through its control of monetary policy the FOMC can keep a lid on
inflation and continue economic prosperity, it will be positive for high yield
bonds.

High yield issues are trading relatively cheaply to their historical averages.
This presents what we believe is an opportunity to achieve returns above the
long-term averages for high yield securities on issues purchased in today's
market environment.

High Yield
Fund II PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT: Kevin Mathews, Senior Vice President & Senior Portfolio
Manager.
GOALS: Pilgrim High Yield Fund II seeks to provide a high level of current
income and capital growth by investing in high yield debt securities.
MARKET OVERVIEW: The 12-month period ending June 30, 1999, began as one of the
most friendly to high yield bonds that we have seen in several years. Shortly
after the beginning of the period, major shocks were sent through the capital
markets giving us some of the widest spreads we have seen since the recession in

recession. If they successfully engineered another soft landing, as they did
earlier in the decade, it would be positive for high yield issues.
PERFORMANCE: During the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's
Class A shares, excluding sales charges, were up 1.60% compared to the First
Boston High Yield Index, an unmanaged index of high yield bonds, which returned
1.16% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: In a tough market for high yield bonds over the last 12
months, the fund has performed well. The growth orientation of the holdings has
helped the fund avoid downgrades and outperform the market.
Helping the fund was a lack of exposure to foreign and emerging markets issues.
These issues were particularly volatile after the Russian economic scare.
Communications and technology issues were heavily weighted and outperformed the
market. Their growth rates continue to exceed the overall growth rates of the
economy.
Lastly, the fund had a heavy exposure to short maturity, yield-to-call bonds.
These are issues that are less sensitive to market price movements because they
are about to be called, or repurchased, by their issuers. These issues helped
performance in what was generally a negative market.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

approximately 500 large- capitalization U.S. companies, accounted for most of
the index's appreciation as these select few provided a safe haven from fears of
global economic weakness.
Preference shifted by the beginning of the second quarter of 1999, as it became
apparent that growth of the U.S. economy remained strong, and that global
economic conditions were also improving. Investors migrated to more cyclical
stocks, particularly those of the Basic Industries and the Energy sectors, where
depressed commodity prices stood to benefit from rising global economic
activity.
The shifting market preferences in the Spring of 1999 also resulted in broader
participation among market sectors. For example, over the past 12 months, only
the Technology and Communications Services sectors outperformed the S&P 500
Index. During the second quarter however, six of the 11 sectors of the market,
Basic Industries, Capital Goods, Communication Services, Energy, Technology and
Utilities, outperformed the Index. Still, participation among stocks was
relatively narrow, as the 7% gain of the S&P in the quarter was attributed to 70
companies.
bond market overview: Risk aversion has once again crept back into the
investment-grade fixed income markets. From April 1st through June 30th, spreads
widened in the face of monumental new issue supply and broker-dealer hesitancy
to inventory non-government bonds. Renewed troubles in many Latin American debt
markets coupled with Fed tightening have moved many issues out to or near the
wide levels witnessed in January of this year. Swap spreads, which are seen by
some as a barometer of financial system liquidity, are now posed to match the
levels seen in October, 1998 during the worst of the hedge fund and credit
spread debacle.
The high yield market has continued to experience technical weakness through the
first six months of 1999. Although there was fear in the market of an economic
slowdown and rising interest rates and inflation, high yield bond prices
remained stable to slightly lower. As a result, spreads narrowed to Treasuries
through early May. As the second quarter ended, the market became increasingly
concerned about credit quality and the bias of the Federal Reserve on monetary
policy. High yield bond prices moved lower causing spreads to widen slightly in
late May and June.
performance: For the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 1.42%, compared to a
composite index, consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Bond Index, an unmanaged market-weighted index consisting
of all public obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities and all corporation issuers of fixed rate, non-convertible,
investment grade U.S. dollar denominated bonds having maturities of greater than
one year, which gained 3.88% for the same period.
portfolio specifics: Appropriate sector allocation and good stock selection,
combined with a disciplined portfolio management approach, led to the Fund's
strong investment performance. The Fund has maintained about 20% in
technology-related industries for much of the past year. Holdings in the stocks
of Sun Microsystems, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Cisco Systems, America Online and
Microsoft performed particularly well. The Fund's holdings in Dupont, Alcoa,
Tyco Industries, Chevron and Schlumberger were equally strong in the most recent
quarter.
As of the end of June, Technology was the largest sector of the Fund, followed
by Consumer Nondurables, Consumer Cyclicals, Retailing and Healthcare.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wholesale deterioration in the investment-grade fixed income markets was
partially offset by our reduction in Latin American names, non-dollar positions,
and Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities. Additions to the portfolio are more
tradable issues in anticipation of the market's preference for liquidity. The
relative value, or cheapness, of the high yield markets provided an opportunity
to increase our holdings from the mid-teens to nearly 35% of the total bond
allocation.
market outlook: The market environment still appears favorable for investment in
large-capitalization companies. We expect the equity market to broaden further,
as more groups and more individual stocks participate in the markets advance.
Finally, we still see value in the long-term franchises of the leading companies
in which the fund invests.
The supply avalanche that has blighted the bond market provides an opportunity
to add desirable names at very cheap levels. Given that most issuers have
decided to complete all their 1999 funding needs well before the fourth quarter
and Y2K, spreads should revert to their mean in the near future.

has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating
expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund's performance
is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.
Total returns reflect the fact that the Investment Adviser has contractually

Fund PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT TEAM: Catherine Somhegyi, Partner, Chief Investment Officer, Global
Equity Management; Douglas G. Forsyth, Portfolio Manager; William L. Stickney,
Portfolio Manager; Michael Carroll, Investment Analyst; Michael Yee, Investment
Analyst.
GOAL: Pilgrim Convertible Fund seeks maximum total return, consisting of capital
appreciation and current income, by investing primarily in convertible
securities.
MARKET OVERVIEW: Strength in the stock market and narrowing credit spreads
continued to help convertible bonds in the second quarter. We viewed the Federal
Reserve Board's decision to raise short-term interest rates by 25 basis points
on the last day of the quarter as a sign of its proactive approach. That move
could keep the economy in a modest growth phase and limit inflation concerns,
both positives for the convertible market. Technology-related issues were among
the best performers during the quarter, especially in June.
PERFORMANCE: For the three-month period ended June 30, 1999*, the Fund's Class A
shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 6.62% compared to
the First Boston Convertible Index, an unmanaged index representing the universe
of convertible securities, which gained 7.53% for the same period.
PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Investor preference for value- oriented stocks and a sharp
selloff among technology issues early in the quarter negatively impacted returns
as the fund retained a significant weighting in technology issues throughout the
period. Issue-specific disappointments, such as energy providers Williams
Companies and Texas Utilities, also weighted on returns.
However, later in the quarter, as technology stocks rebounded, fund returns
outdistanced those of the benchmark. Among the fund's top-performing holdings
late in the quarter were Qualcomm, Analog Devices and LSI Logic. Other strong
performers included Ericsson and Citrix. Select issues in the
commercial/industrial and retail sectors also contributed to gains.
MARKET OUTLOOK: The fund retains its significant weighting in technology issues
and we continue to see signs of promise within this sector, especially among
telecommunications and telecom equipment providers as a result of increasing
demand.
Our bottom-up approach also continues to uncover opportunities in other sectors
such as retail where pockets of strength coexist with issuer-specific
distinctions. Recently, issues such as Ann Taylor, Home Depot and CVS Corp. have
delivered strong gains.
Convertibles remain an attractive asset class for risk-conscious investors who
seek stock market participation with limited downside exposure.
* Effective April 1, 1999, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to
June 30.

significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide as
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to

material respects, the financial position of each of the aforementioned funds as
of June 30, 1999, the results of their operations, the changes in their net

transaction that closed on May 21, 1999, Pilgrim Investments, Inc. became the
Investment Manager and Pilgrim Securities, Inc. became the Distributor of the
Funds in PMF. While Pilgrim Investments, Inc. manages all the portfolios of PMF,
Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management acts as sub-advisor to all the PMF
portfolios with the exception of Strategic Income Fund, High Yield Fund II and
Balanced Fund. During the current period, each PMF Fund listed above changed its
year-end from March 31 to June 30.
Bank and Thrift Fund was organized as a Maryland Corporation in 1986. PIF, a
Maryland Corporation organized in 1969, consists of Pilgrim MagnaCap Fund and
Pilgrim High Yield Fund. PAF, a Maryland Corporation organized in 1995, consists
of Pilgrim MidCap Value Fund, Pilgrim LargeCap Leaders Fund and Pilgrim
Asia-Pacific Equity Fund. Government Securities Income Fund, a California
Corporation organized in 1984, is the single series of Government Securities
Income Fund. The investment objective of each Fund is described in each Fund's
prospectus.
Each Fund offers at least two of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class
B, Class C, Class M and Class Q. The separate classes of shares differ
principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees,
shareholder servicing fees and transfer agency fees. Shareholders of each class
also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All
shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income from the
portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without
distinction between share classes. Dividends are determined separately for each
class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gains are
allocated to each class pro rata based on the net assets of each class on the
date of distribution. No class has preferential dividend rights. Differences in
per share dividend rates generally result from the relative weighting of pro
rata income and realized gain allocations and from differences in separate class
expenses, including distribution, shareholder servicing and transfer agency
fees. Class B shares, along with their pro rata reinvested dividend shares,
automatically convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after
purchase.
REORGANIZATION. Before a shareholder approved reorganization effective July 24,
1998, the funds comprising PMF invested all of their assets in corresponding
portfolios of Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust, an arrangement known as a
"master/feeder" structure. Upon the reorganization, the Institutional Portfolio
series of the Trust were renamed Funds and were authorized to issue multiple
classes of shares, and their outstanding shares were classified as Class I
shares. At the same time, the A, B, C and Advisory Portfolios of the Trust
transferred their assets to the corresponding Funds, and their shareholders
received Class A, B, C and Q shares of the Funds on a tax-free basis. Effective
May 7, 1999 and concurrent with the change in investment adviser, the
Institutional Classes of PMF were transferred in a tax free reorganization to
new funds being managed by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management.

NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements, and such policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment
companies.
A. SECURITY VALUATION. Investments in equity securities traded on a national
securities exchange or included on the NASDAQ National Market System are
valued at the last reported sale price. Securities traded on an exchange of
NASDAQ for which there has been no sale and securities traded in the
over-the-counter-market are valued at the mean between the last reported
bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be
valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange
rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by each Fund's
custodian. Debt securities in Pilgrim Strategic Income Fund, Pilgrim
Balanced Fund and Pilgrim High Yield Fund II are valued at bid prices
(Pilgrim High Yield Fund is valued at the mean between the bid and ask
prices) obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers
making markets in the securities. U.S. Government obligations are valued by
using market quotations or independent pricing services which uses prices
provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield
data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued
at their respective fair values as determined in good faith and in
accordance with policies set by the Board of Directors. Investments in
securities maturing in less than 60 days are valued at cost, which, when
combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.
B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND REVENUE RECOGNITION. Securities transactions are
accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on
the basis of identified cost of securities delivered. Interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information
becomes available to the funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion
are determined by the effective yield method.
C. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The books and records of the funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated
into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and
liabilities -- at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the
day.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses
-- at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of
such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign
exchange rates at the end of the day, the Funds do not isolate the 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 gains or losses from investments. Reported net
realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities
of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, 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. Foreign security and currency
transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically
associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These
risks include but are not limited to re-evaluation of currencies and future
adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities
101

Pilgrim
Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of June 30, 1999 (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of
comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.
D. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. Certain funds may enter into foreign
currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign
currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned
purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these
transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign
currency exchange market or use forward foreign currency contracts to
purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or
closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is
included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon
entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from the
potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward
contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency,
interest rates, securities and securities indices, for hedging purposes
only. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver
and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign
currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a
specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a
contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such
initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded.
Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the
broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the
contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margins and are
recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is
closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value
at the time it was closed. There were no open futures contracts at June 30,
1999.
E. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Funds record distributions to their
shareholders on ex-date. Each Fund pays dividends, if any, as follows:
Annually Semi-Annually Quarterly Monthly
- -------- ------------- --------- -------
LargeCap Leaders MagnaCap Balanced Strategic
LargeCap Growth Convertible Income
MidCap Value Government
MidCap Growth Securities
SmallCap Growth Income
Bank and Thrift High Yield
International Core High
Growth Yield II
Worldwide Growth
Asia-Pacific Equity
International
SmallCap Growth
Emerging Countries
Each Fund distributes capital gains, to the extent available, annually.
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or
permanent in nature. Key differences are the treatment of short-term
capital gains, foreign currency transactions, organization costs and other
temporary differences. To the extent that these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based
on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassifications. Distributions which exceed net investment income and net
realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes, are reported as distributions in excess of net investment income
and/or net realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed net investment
income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are
102

reported as distributions of paid-in capital. Accordingly, amounts as of

follows:

F. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. It is the policy of the Funds, to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net
investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders.
Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. In
addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of
its net investment income and net realized capital gains, each Fund intends
not to be subject to any federal excise tax.
The Board of Directors intends to offset any net capital gains with any
available capital loss carryforward until each carryforward has been fully
utilized or expires. In addition, no capital gain distribution shall be
made until the capital loss carryforward has been fully utilized or
expires.
Capital loss carryforwards were as follows at June 30, 1999:
Amount Expiration Dates
----------- ----------------
International Core
Growth $ 2,108,292 2005
Emerging Countries 76,846,244 2005
Asia-Pacific Equity 29,974,147 2005 to 2006
Government Securities
Income 6,224,461 1999 to 2006
High Yield 9,719,347 2001 to 2002
High Yield II 2,988,771 2007
G. USE OF ESTIMATES. Management of the Funds has made certain estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and
expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
H. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements only
with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System or with member banks of the Federal Reserve
System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to
repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is
in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate
for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the
repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while
the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Fund will
always receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value
is equal to at least 100% of the amount being invested by the Fund. If the
103
<PAGE>
Pilgrim
Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS as of June 30, 1999 (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
seller defaults, a Fund might incur a loss or delay in the realization of
proceeds if the value of the collateral securing the repurchase agreement
declines, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the
collateral.
I. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES. Expenses incurred in connection with the
organization and registration of the Funds under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and the Securities Act of 1933 are being amortized by each Fund
equally over a period of five years from the date of commencement of its
operations.
J. RECLASSIFICATION. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current period
presentation.
K. SECURITIES LENDING. Through May 21, 1999, each Fund in PMF had the option
to temporarily loan securities, up to 30% of its total assets, to brokers,
dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated
lender's fee. The borrower fully collateralized the loans with cash,
letters of credit or U.S. Government securities.
L. REDEMPTION FEES. During the year ended June 30, 1999, Bank and Thrift
Fund's prospectus allowed that, until October 17, 1998, a 2% redemption fee
would be imposed on redemptions or exchanges of Class A shares acquired
prior to October 17, 1997. Such redemption fee was payable to the Fund and
is reflected as redemption fee income in the accompanying financial
statements.

Change in Auditors
At a meeting held on May 24, 1999, the Board of Trustees of Pilgrim Mutual
Funds (the "Trust"), as well as the Trustees who were members of the Trust's
Audit Committee, selected KPMG LLP to act as the independent auditors of the
Trust in place of Ernst & Young LLP for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.
Ernst & Young formally resigned as independent auditors for the Trust on July
13, 1999.
Ernst & Young's report on Pilgrim Mutual Funds' financial statements for any of
the prior two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer and
was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles. During Pilgrim Mutual Funds' two prior fiscal years, there were no
disagreements with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young, would have
caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in
connection with its report.
