DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER

Each of the Zweig Mutual Funds earned significant gains in 1995, helping to
bring our shareholders closer to achieving their long-term financial goals. I
am proud of our funds' performance, especially as it reflects the continuing
flexibility with which we manage your money.

As even the most casual market observer knows, 1995 turned out to be a year for
the record books. After a mild sinking spell in 1994, stocks climbed to new
heights in 1995, with hardly a pause or a stumble. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average had its best year since 1975; the S&P 500 made its strongest showing
since 1958 -- outperforming no less than 91% of all equity mutual funds. After
a genuinely horrific '94, bonds turned in their second best performance since
1925.

It's hard to believe that at the beginning of 1995, the Federal Reserve had
raised interest rates six times, and would tighten again in February in an
effort to cool down what appeared to be an overheated economy. We had entered
1995 with the market exposure of our stock funds at a highly defensive 30% of
assets. Rising interest rates, the threat of inflation and a roaring economy
have historically been bearish for bonds and stocks, and we had stayed largely
out of harm's way throughout 1994.

But, late in the first quarter, the economy weakened markedly. As the pressure
came off interest rates and inflation, bonds rallied and stocks followed. Our
indicators reacted to these changes, and by the end of the quarter our equity
exposure had risen to 50%.

Our research continued to keep us in gear with the markets. As conditions
improved, we steadily increased the market exposure of our stock funds to 70%
at mid-year, 75% by the end of the third quarter, and 80% by year-end.

The positive monetary outlook was fueled by two Federal Reserve interest rate
cuts, one in July and one in December. In addition, a reduction in stock supply
coupled with greater demand bolstered the bullish case. Several significant
mergers and large corporate buybacks took large amounts of stock out of
circulation. At the same time, the strong demand for mutual funds kept money
flooding into the markets. Portfolio managers were





                                       1

forced to chase a shrinking supply of stock as they sought to invest the
inflows, helping drive prices higher.

Our funds participated solidly in the gains of 1995 because we followed the
dictates of our research and remained flexible. As market conditions changed,
so did our research, and so did our market exposure. This is what you hire us
to do. You won't find us prognosticating about the future. We believe that no
one can consistently predict what stocks and bonds will do next. We react to
changes in the markets by adjusting the asset mix of our funds.

Our goal is the same as that of every other mutual fund -- superior long-term
returns. The path we take, however, is quite different. Most mutual funds make
little attempt to limit losses. They are designed to capture all the gains of a
bull market, but often suffer the sharp declines of a bear market.

Our style is designed to participate solidly during bull markets, which all of
our funds have been doing over the past several years, and to protect the bulk
of our gains during serious market declines -- which haven't occurred since
1990. We are pleased to be doing as well as we are during these bull phases,
yet we remain focused on risk control as the key to successful investing over
the long run.

In the midst of all the bullish news, it's important to remember that the
markets have gone more than five years without even a 10% correction in stocks
- -- the longest such run ever. My 34 years in the market have taught me that the
markets are cyclical. No matter how long a particular phase lasts, the markets
always return to their historical pattern of growth, punctuated by periodic and
often painful declines. Though our research currently favors the bullish case,
we are always prepared to retreat to cash as our indicators reflect changing
conditions and rising risk.

I am the chief strategist for our funds, responsible for the asset mix
decisions. Our portfolio managers pick the stocks and bonds for our funds. They
discuss the results of each fund later in this report. Thank you for your
continued confidence in us.

Sincerely,


/s/ MARTIN E. ZWEIG

WHY WE OFFER ZWEIG MUTUAL FUNDS
  THROUGH FINANCIAL ADVISORS

The goal of Zweig Mutual Funds is to produce superior risk-adjusted rates of
return over complete market cycles. And we believe that most investors need
someone to explain to them the vitally important concept of risk-adjusted rates
of return.

Simply stated, that's why we offer our funds through financial advisors.

Any prospective investor can look up the past performance of mutual funds in a
magazine. Returns, in that sense, are very easy to understand.

On the other hand, it is more difficult to get an accurate, objective idea of
the risk taken on in order to get those returns.

This is really too bad, since most people's investment behavior isn't driven by
how much they can make, but by how much they can lose. At Zweig, we believe
that far more people would have a greater appreciation of the importance of
risk management...if only someone would explain it to them.

That's where a trained, professional financial advisor comes in.

If one looks at two mutual funds in a magazine, both of which have an average
return of 10% per year over a certain period of time, it will be easy to assume
that both funds have performed equally well.

But when a financial advisor points out that one fund was 95% invested during
the period and experienced marked volatility, while the other was only 65%
invested and declined much less during a bear market, suddenly the superior
risk-adjusted return of the latter fund becomes clear.

This is certainly not to suggest that individual investors are incapable of
determining risk-adjusted rates of return on their own, if they look hard
enough. It's just that, late in a major bull market, too few people may be
trying to measure risk at all. (In fact, 63 months into the longest bull-market
run of the century, getting your arms around risk is probably harder than it's
ever been.)

In our experience, the superior financial advisor is always mindful of risk.
That's why we offer our funds through financial advisors. And why many superior
financial advisors recommend Zweig Mutual Funds to their clients.

                INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE VS. INVESTOR PERFORMANCE:

                               A CAUTIONARY NOTE


As this greatest of bull markets continues to age, "superior performance" has
become the goal of a whole new generation of equity mutual fund investors.
Indeed, most investors view performance as total return, without accounting for
the risk taken to achieve that return.

Unfortunately, there is an imperfect correlation between the performance of
mutual funds and the behavior of mutual fund investors.

First of all, investors tend to put hugely disproportionate sums into mutual
funds after a tremendous market rise. For example, the last 20% decline in
equity prices -- the textbook definition of a "bear market" -- ended on October
11, 1990. In the first six full calendar months of the current bull market
(November 1990 through April 1991), net investment in equity mutual funds was
$11 billion. In the last six months of 1995, with the broad market averages
roughly 87% higher than they were in the November '90-April '91 period, net
equity fund inflows were $110 billion.*

Thus, relative performance figures tend to mask the fact that a great many
people "buy high." Still, we know that even investors who buy at relatively
high levels may do satisfactorily in the long run -- if they hold on for the
long run. The trouble is, they often don't.

Having bought mutual funds only after a huge runup in prices, many investors
have shown a marked tendency to redeem fund shares late in the next major
market decline, or on their way to getting back to even. Bluntly put, after
having bought high, many people sell low.


BY CHASING PEAK "PERFORMANCE," INVESTORS MAY BE SETTING THEMSELVES UP FOR
FAR-ABOVE-AVERAGE DECLINES IN THE NEXT CYCLICAL DOWNTURN.


As always, there is a theory in the land today that "this time it's different;"
that today's new breed of fund investors will not succumb to the urge to bail
out of investments when they experience a major cyclical downturn. Recent
evidence, however, suggests that nothing much has changed, and that investor
behavior in major downdrafts is no less prone to panic than ever.

</TABLE>

As the chart above shows, net inflows into bond funds soared to record levels
as interest rates plunged and bond prices surged between 1991 and the autumn of
1993. At that point, interest rates shot up again, and bond prices declined
sharply. This drove bond funds into massive net liquidation throughout 1994.
Bond prices then recovered to new highs in 1995--while bond funds were in net
redemptions (more money was exiting the funds than entering them).

The fact that the Lehman Brothers Treasury Bond Index started 1991 around 3700
and ended 1995 around 6700 makes yet another marvelous intellectual case for
"buy-and-hold." The volatility bonds went through in the interim -- and the
truly awful buy-high-sell-low cycle of investor behavior occasioned by that
volatility -- only reaffirms our conviction that our strategy of loss
limitation is as vitally important today as it ever was.

Late in a bull market, when performance mania seizes ever larger numbers of
people, investors tend to lose sight of the fact that peak "performance"
usually goes hand-in-hand with peak volatility. Thus, by chasing peak
"performance," investors may be setting themselves up for far-above-average
declines in the next cyclical downturn. And historically, peak volatility is
the one thing many investors are unable to go through without panic.

Our style of management seeks to participate solidly in the advancing phases of
the market, and then to retreat to the safety of cash during major market
declines. All the evidence continues to suggest that this strategy reduces the
potential psychological and financial pitfalls of investing, and thus increases
the chance that more people will be capable of holding on. Our ultimate goal,
then, is to help narrow the wide gap between investment performance and
investor performance.

ZWEIG STRATEGY FUND

Zweig Strategy Fund solidly participated in the stock market gains of 1995. The
Class A and Class C Shares were up 25.1% and  24.3%, respectively. We achieved
our returns while taking considerably less risk than the average fund. Our
average cash position during the year was 37%. I'm particularly pleased with
our long-term performance. From its inception on December 29, 1989, through
December 31, 1995, the Fund has returned an average of 11.2% annually, versus
12.2% for the average growth fund. We have captured 92% of the upside during
the bull market while holding an average of 34% of our assets in the safety of
cash.

         As Marty Zweig discusses in his letter, 1995 demonstrated the value of
our flexible and pragmatic approach. While our willingness to gradually retreat
to the safety of cash is what sets us apart from most other funds, and helped
us during market declines in 1990 and 1994, 1995 was a year in which risk
takers earned the greatest rewards. Although we came into 1995 cautiously, our
research steadily improved and we became more heavily invested along the way,
once again vindicating our flexible style.

         The Fund's unique style was also evident in 1995 through our stock
selection. The quantitative model that drives our stock selection process was
constructed to focus on stocks with above-average earnings growth and
below-average valuations. During the first nine months of the year, this
process directed us to be overweighted in technology and banking stocks, two of
the top-performing sectors. This in large part helped us keep pace with the
market, despite our heavy cash position. Importantly, we remained true to our
discipline of emphasizing both growth and valuations in our equity holdings. So
while the fourth quarter saw a sharp rotation away from technology stocks, the
favorable value characteristics of our portfolio (low price-to-earnings ratio,
low price-to-book-value ratio) cushioned our results. Still, we lagged the S&P
500 during this period.

         As we begin the new year, our exposure represents a moderately
optimistic posture. Our equity focus has moved toward more cyclical areas such
as the chemicals, metal and mining, and machinery stocks. Utilities and
airlines also are improving in our model. These industries currently have the
best combination of growth trends and favorable valuations in our mid- to
large-cap universe.

ZWEIG MANAGED ASSETS 

Zweig Managed Assets participated solidly in the gains of foreign and domestic
stocks and bonds during 1995. Foreign stock markets were laggards in 1995,
however, U.S. stocks and bonds posted banner years, which helped propel the
Fund to returns of 16.3% and 15.4% for the Class A and Class C Shares,
respectively. Zweig Managed Assets captured nearly 95% of the 17.4% return of
the Lipper Global Flexible Fund Average.

         It is important when examining the Fund's performance to keep in mind
ZMA's significant international exposure. In September, we increased the Fund's
allowable foreign exposure to 50%, and increased the potential equity exposure
to 60%. We made these changes in order to increase the Fund's flexibility and
take advantage of additional investment oppor-tunities. In addition, we have
increased the Fund's diversification by expanding the number of countries we
invest in.

         Throughout 1995, central banks in Europe responded to weaker economic
conditions by lowering key short-term interest rates.  Expectations of
continued central bank measures, combined with low inflation, helped bond
markets across Europe rally to new highs late in 1995. After declining more
than 25% in the first six months of 1995, Japanese stocks recovered, ending
December above where they had begun the year. We concentrated our investments
in Japanese bonds as interest rates fell during the early part of the year, and
then moved into Japanese stocks as the market rallied.

         Lower interest rates are usually followed by stronger stock markets,
as was the case in the U.S. in 1995. Thus, with rates currently falling
throughout Europe, our outlook there is positive. If the rally in Japanese
stocks continues, we are prepared to increase our investment there. We've
expanded into Hong Kong, and are moving into Singapore, as well.

         In the fourth quarter, our new investment parameters helped the Fund
to a return of 3.5% for the A Shares and 3.2% for the C Shares, while the
Lipper Global Flexible Fund Average was up 3.0%. We will continue to adhere to
our flexible investment philosophy, seeking to participate solidly in bull
markets globally as they occur, while limiting risk during bear phases through
the use of cash and diversification.

ZWEIG APPRECIATION FUND

Zweig Appreciation Fund Class A and C Shares were up 24.0% and 23.2%,
respectively, in 1995. These returns surpassed the 21.8% earned by the Value
Line Geometric Index. The average small-company stock fund, meanwhile, was up
31.5%.

         We've delivered on our goal of generating attractive returns during
this unusually kind phase in the market. Nevertheless, some investors may ask
why they should be satisfied being up 24.0% while the average small-company
stock fund is up 31.5%. The reason is that we also delivered on our goal of
controlling risk. Our average cash position during the year was 35%. Thus, we
captured  75% of the gains of our peers, with a market exposure of only 65% --
a superior risk-adjusted return. Beyond holding cash, we also kept risk low
through prudent industry diversification. For example, we participated in the
gains of the technology sector in 1995, as did many of our competitors.
However, the amount of the Fund that was invested in this group never exceeded
20%. Thus, when many small-company funds suffered in the fourth quarter from
technology's reversal, we were somewhat insulated by our more conservative
position.

         It is important to remember that throughout the entire existence of
the Fund, we've been in a bull market environment.  While we've been pleased
with our performance, we know that it only tells half the story. When it comes
to evaluating mutual fund managers, it is important to know what their game
plan is for the inevitable periods of corrections and bear markets. Successful
long-term investors know that the best offense is often a good defense.

         Morningstar, an independent monitor of mutual funds, notes that as of
12/31/95, Appreciation Fund's risk was in the lowest 2% of its peer group. The
Fund's risk control is evidenced in a number of ways, from its much broader
diversification among stocks and sectors, to the substantially lower
price-to-earnings ratios of its stocks. Most of the other small-company stock
funds are making bigger bets on companies' earnings with less regard for the
price paid to capture that growth. While the biggest risk takers have looked
best over the past few years, I'm confident that the value of our approach,
already seen in our risk-adjusted returns, will be more widely appreciated
during the next cyclical downturn in small-company stocks.

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

What a difference a year makes! In stark contrast to a dismal 1994, 1995 was a
banner year for bonds. In 1994, the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index fell
3.4%, its worst annual performance in over a decade. But 1995 more than made up
for it, as the Index rallied 18.3% for the year.

         Weaker-than-expected economic conditions fueled the strong bond
market. Toward the end of 1994, the economy appeared overheated, and most
economists expected the Federal Reserve to continue to raise interest rates.
However, as the economy started to show signs of slowing, bonds began to rally
in early 1995. The rally continued throughout the spring, and in the summer the
Fed surprised many by easing interest rates. This paved the way for continued
bond market strength and a final Fed rate cut in December.

         In keeping with our risk-averse approach to investing, we tend to
maintain a lower average maturity and duration than our peers. Duration is a
measure of a fund's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The higher
the duration of a fund, the more the fund will make (or lose) as rates fall (or
rise). The Fund's duration in early 1995 was somewhat lower than economic
conditions warranted. Our models are based heavily on Federal Reserve policy
and interest rate levels. Since the Fed had tightened six times in 1994, and
was still tightening in early 1995, we elected to maintain a low exposure to
interest rate fluctuations. How-ever, the economy cooled rapidly, and bonds
began to rally to new highs. Beginning in the second quarter, we gradually
increased the Fund's duration to 5.4 years, where it remained at year-end.

         Government Securities captured nearly 80% of the gains of the average
government bond fund last year, with an average duration for 1995 of 4.1 years,
which was lower than that of the average fund. The Class A Shares returned
13.8% for the year and the C Shares returned 13.3%, compared with 17.3% for the
Lipper U.S. Government Fund Average. For the fourth quarter, the A and C Shares
returned 5.0% and 4.9%, respectively, versus 4.4% for the average government
bond fund.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF ZWEIG SERIES TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Zweig Series Trust
(comprising the Zweig Strategy Fund, Zweig Appreciation Fund, Zweig Managed
Assets, Government Securities Series and Zweig Cash Fund) as of December 31,
1995 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period
then ended with respect to Zweig Strategy Fund, Zweig Appreciation Fund,
Government Securities Series and Zweig Cash Fund; and each of the three years
in the period then ended with respect to Zweig Managed Assets. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the management of
the Trust. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the Series constituting Zweig Series Trust as of December 31, 1995, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial
highlights for each of the periods referred to above, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              December 31, 1995

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION

Zweig Series Trust (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Trust presently consists of five separate investment
portfolios ("Series"): Zweig Strategy Fund, Zweig Appreciation Fund, Zweig
Managed Assets, Government Securities Series and Zweig Cash Fund. Each Series
has distinct investment objectives and policies. A shareholder's interest is
limited to the Series in which she or he owns shares.  Each Series offers both
Class A and Class C shares and Zweig Cash Fund also offers Class M shares. All
classes of shares have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting
privileges, except that each class has its own distribution and/or service
plan, and has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only
that class. On May 1, 1994, shares formerly designated Class B shares were
redesignated Class C Shares to conform with standards generally adopted in the
mutual fund industry. The offering of a new class of Class B shares, which was
authorized by the Board of Trustees on June 22, 1995, has not yet commenced.

NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         (a) General: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date.
Realized gains and losses on sales of investments 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, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are
recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Direct expenses are charged to each
class or Series 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 a Series.

         (b) Portfolio Valuation: Stocks, futures and options 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. Bonds and other fixed-income securities are valued at
prices obtained from an established bond-pricing service when such prices are
available. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.  Securities for which market
quotations are not readily available (of which there were none at December 31,
1995) 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). Zweig Cash Fund
values all short-term investments using the amortized cost method pursuant to
Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

         (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 Series 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 a Series 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 an option written
is exercised, the proceeds of sale of the underlying security are increased by
the premium originally received and the Series realizes a gain or loss. When an
option written expires or the Series enters into a closing purchase
transaction, the liability is extinguished and the Series realizes a gain or
loss.

         (d) Foreign Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities denominated
in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates on
the valuation date. Purchases and sales of securities, expense payments and
income receipts are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate on the
transaction date. The Trust does not segregate that portion of the results of
operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from the portion
resulting from changes in market prices of securities held; both are included
in net realized and unrealized gains or losses.

         (e) Off-Balance-Sheet Risk, Repurchase Agreements and Derivatives:
Foreign securities and forward foreign currency contracts may involve risks
relating to the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign
markets, and the possibility of political or economic instability. With respect
to forward foreign currency contracts and repurchase agreements, losses may
arise if the counterparty does not perform under the contract or agreement. The
Trust'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 repurchase. A Series' use of futures
contracts, forward foreign currency contracts and options involves, to varying
degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
statement of net assets. These derivative financial instruments ("derivatives")
are used to adjust the risk and return characteristics of a Series' portfolio.
Derivatives are not used for the purpose of leverage. The objective in buying
or selling a derivative instrument is to increase or decrease a Series'
exposure to changing security prices, interest rates or currency exchange
rates. If the Manager misjudges market conditions or employs a strategy that
does not correlate well with the Series' 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 policy of each Series to continue
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.

         (g) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and
distributions are declared separately for each class of shares of a Series.
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly by
Government Securities Series, quarterly by Zweig Strategy Fund and Zweig
Managed Assets and at least annually by Zweig Appreciation Fund. Any net
realized capital gain distributions are declared and paid annually, except that
amounts attributable to net short-term capital gains may be included with
dividends from net investment income. Zweig Cash Fund declares daily dividends
of all net investment income, plus or minus realized gains or losses, and pays
dividends monthly. The character of distributions made during the year from net
investment income or net realized gains may 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. During the year ended December 31, 1995, Zweig Managed
Assets reclassified $10,739,061 from accumulated net realized gain to
undistributed net investment income and Government Securities Series
reclassified $160,492 from current year net realized gain to undistributed net
investment income.     

         At October 31, 1995 (each Series' tax fiscal year-end), Government
Securities Series had capital loss carryforwards, including acquired loss
carryforwards, of $28,444,648, $13,506,401, $2,631,923, $249,274 and

$7,227,155 expiring October 31, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2001, respectively;
available to offset any net capital gains subsequently realized, subject to
certain limitations.

NOTE 3--INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
WITH AFFILIATES

         (a) INVESTMENT MANAGER: The Trust's investments are managed by
Zweig/Glaser Advisers (the "Manager"). The Manager's investment advisory fee is
based on the average daily net assets of each Series at the following annual
rates: Zweig Strategy Fund--.75%; Zweig Appreciation Fund--1.00%; Zweig Managed
Assets--1.00%; Government Securities Series--.60%; and Zweig Cash Fund--.50%.
The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. Investment advisory fees for the
year ended December 31, 1995 aggregated $18,590,172.

         The Manager has undertaken voluntarily to limit the expenses of Zweig
Cash Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, the
distribution fees described below and extraordinary expenses) to .35% of its
average daily net assets. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the
Manager's reimbursements to Zweig Cash Fund aggregated $94,925 under this and
prior voluntary expense limitations. The Manager reserves the right to
discontinue the expense limitation at any time after April 30, 1996. In March,
1994 and November, 1995, the Manager contributed $415,283 and $106,250,
respectively, to Zweig Cash Fund to offset losses incurred by the Fund on sales
of certain variable rate reset notes.

         (b) PRINCIPAL DISTRIBUTOR: Zweig Securities Corp. (the "Distributor")
serves as principal distributor of shares of the Trust. The Trust's Class A
Shares (excluding Zweig Cash Fund shares) are sold with an initial sales
charge. Class C Shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge,
and Class M shares of Zweig Cash Fund are sold without a sales charge. The
Distributor's share of sales charges paid by the purchasers of Class A shares
was $800,912 and its share of contingent deferred sales charges paid by the
redeemers of Class C shares was $305,671 during the year ended December 31,
1995.

         Pursuant to a Rule 12b-1 plan of distribution, the Trust pays the
Distributor a combined service and distribution fee equal to an annual rate of
 .30% of average daily net assets for each Series of Class A shares and 1.00%
for Class C shares of Zweig Strategy Fund, Zweig Appreciation Fund and Zweig
Managed Assets, .75% for Class C shares of Government Securities Series and
 .30% for Class C shares of Zweig Cash Fund, respectively. The Distributor's
aggregate fees under this plan for the year ended December 31, 1995, amounted
to $2,812,095 for Class A shares and $11,357,616 for Class C shares. A separate
Rule 12b-1 distribution sharing plan for Class M shares of Zweig Cash Fund
provides that the Manager may enter into service agreements with various
service organizations for distribution, promotion, administration and/or
servicing investors in Class M shares. The service organizations are paid
equally by the Class M shares and the Manager. During the year ended December
31, 1995, the Class M shares paid $44,714 under this plan.

         During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Trust paid Zweig
Securities Corp. brokerage commissions of $468,501 in connection with portfolio
transactions effected by it.

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

NOTE 4--REORGANIZATION

On May 1, 1994, Zweig Cash Fund, a newly formed Series of Zweig Series Trust,
exchanged its Class A and Class C Shares for the net assets of the Money Market
Series of the Trust and exchanged its Class M Shares for the net assets of
Zweig Cash Fund Inc. The Class A and Class C shares of the newly formed Series
were distributed to shareholders of the Money Market Series and the Class M
shares were distributed to the shareholders of Zweig Cash Fund Inc. in
liquidation of those entities.
