CENTER, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10048
LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS JUNE 30, 1997
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
Despite a short-lived correction in the first quarter of 1997, the past twelve
months were marked by strong corporate earnings, a benign inflationary
environment and steady economic expansion, a combination that continues to push
the stock market higher.
 
In late 1996 and early 1997, large-capitalization stocks dominated smaller and
mid-sized issues as investors grew increasingly concerned that the Federal
Reserve Board was poised to raise interest rates. A mild correction slowed an
exuberant stock market in March when the central bank did indeed tighten rates,
the first such move since 1994. By April, however, it was apparent that
inflation was subdued and any further Federal Reserve Board action would be less
severe than previously anticipated.
 
While larger-stock returns continue to outperform, smaller and mid-sized stocks
recently have shown signs of breaking out of their slump.
 
PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO
 
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, Dean Witter Value-Added Market
Series-Equity Portfolio produced a total return of 24.71 percent, versus 34.72
percent for the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500). For
the first six months of 1997, the Fund's total return was 15.61 percent, versus
20.62 percent for the S&P 500.
 
The accompanying chart illustrates the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment in the Fund from inception (December 1, 1987) through June 30, 1997,
versus a similar investment in the issues that comprise the S&P 500 and the
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Growth and Income Funds Index.
 
The Fund is index-oriented, investing in stocks that comprise the S&P 500, its
benchmark index. Unlike the S&P 500, however, the Fund weights all stock
positions equally, thereby emphasizing the stocks of small- and mid-sized
companies, which historically outperform larger stocks.

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS JUNE 30, 1997, CONTINUED
 
While the Fund performed well over the
most recent six- and twelve-month
periods, the results were overshadowed
by the S&P 500's returns. During the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the S&P
500 was driven by large-capitalization
multinationals and technology stocks.
These sectors are more heavily weighted
in the S&P 500 than in the Fund's
portfolio.
 
LOOKING AHEAD
 
The outlook for the remainder of 1997 is
positive, with only a minor uptick in
inflation expected. Longer term, we
expect the historical trend of small-cap
stock outperformance relative to the
stocks of larger companies to resume.
This would benefit the Fund going
forward because, as mentioned earlier,
the portfolio's equal weighting
structure results in an emphasis on the
stocks of smaller and mid-sized
companies.
 
On June 30, 1997, the Fund's Board of
Trustees approved a proposal to adopt a
multiple class share structure. Through
this arrangement the Fund will offer
four classes of shares with various
sales charges, ongoing fees and other
features. This conversion occurred on
July 28, 1997. Existing shares

DEAN WITTER VALUE-ADDED MARKET SERIES -- EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Dean Witter Value-Added Market Series -- Equity Portfolio (the "Fund") is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, amended (the "Act"), as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment
objective is to achieve a high level of total return on its assets through a
combination of capital appreciation and current income. The Fund seeks to
achieve its objective by investing, on an equally-weighted basis, in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks of the companies which are included in
the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Fund was organized as
a Massachusetts business trust on May 27, 1987 and commenced operations on
December 1, 1987.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
 
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- (1) an equity security listed or traded on the
New York, American or other domestic or foreign stock exchange is valued at its
latest sale price on that exchange prior to the time when assets are valued; if
there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the latest bid price (in
cases where a security is traded on more than one exchange, the security is
valued on the exchange designated as the primary market pursuant to procedures
adopted by the Trustees); (2) all other portfolio securities for which
over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at the
latest available bid price prior to the time of valuation; (3) when market
quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which it is
determined by Dean Witter InterCapital Inc. (the "Investment Manager") that sale
or bid prices are not reflective of a security's market value, portfolio
securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under
procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees; and
(4) short-term debt securities having a maturity date of more than sixty days at
time of purchase are valued on a mark-to-market basis until sixty days prior to
maturity and thereafter at amortized cost based on their value on the 61st day.
Short-term debt securities having a maturity date of sixty days or less at the
time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
 
B. ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS -- Security transactions are accounted for on the
trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and
losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method.
Dividend income and other distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Discounts are accreted over the respective life of the securities. Interest
income is accrued daily.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER VALUE-ADDED MARKET SERIES -- EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997, CONTINUED
 
C. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.
 
D. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- The Fund records dividends and
distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of
dividends and 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. To the
extent 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 reclassification. Dividends and
distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains
for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as
dividends in excess of net investment income or distributions in excess of net
realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and net
realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of
paid-in-capital.
 
2. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager, the
Fund pays the Investment Manager a management fee, accrued daily and payable
monthly, by applying the following annual rates to the net assets of the Fund
determined as of the close of each business day: 0.50% to the portion of daily
net assets not exceeding $500 million; 0.45% to the portion of daily net assets
exceeding $500 million but not exceeding $1 billion; and 0.425% to the portion
of daily net assets exceeding $1 billion.
 
Under the terms of the Agreement, in addition to managing the Fund's
investments, the Investment Manager maintains certain of the Fund's books and
records and furnishes, at its own expense, office space, facilities, equipment,
clerical, bookkeeping and certain legal services and pays the salaries of all
personnel, including officers of the Fund who are employees of the Investment
Manager. The Investment Manager also bears the cost of telephone services, heat,
light, power and other utilities provided to the Fund.
 
3. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Dean Witter Distributors Inc. (the
"Distributor"), an affiliate of the Investment Manager. The Fund has adopted a
Plan of Distribution (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act pursuant
to which the Fund pays the Distributor compensation, accrued daily
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER VALUE-ADDED MARKET SERIES -- EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997, CONTINUED
 
and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.0% of the lesser of: (a) the average
daily aggregate gross sales of the Fund's shares since the Fund's inception (not
including reinvestment of dividend or capital gain distributions) less the
average daily aggregate net asset value of the Fund's shares redeemed since the
Fund's inception upon which a contingent deferred sales charge has been imposed
or upon which such charge has been waived; or (b) the Fund's average daily net
assets. Amounts paid under the Plan are paid to the Distributor to compensate it
for the services provided and the expenses borne by it and others in the
distribution of the Fund's shares, including the payment of commissions for
sales of the Fund's shares and incentive compensation to, and expenses of, the
account executives of Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. ("DWR"), an affiliate of the
Investment Manager and Distributor, and others who engage in or support
distribution of the Fund's shares or who service shareholder accounts, including
overhead and telephone expenses, printing and distribution of prospectuses and
reports used in connection with the offering of the Fund's shares to other than
current shareholders and preparation, printing and distribution of sales
literature and advertising materials. In addition, the Distributor may utilize
fees paid pursuant to the Plan to compensate DWR and other selected
broker-dealers for their opportunity costs in advancing such amounts, which
compensation would be in the form of a carrying charge on any unreimbursed
distribution expenses.
 
Provided that the Plan continues in effect, any cumulative expenses incurred but
not yet recovered may be recovered through future distribution fees from the
Fund and contingent deferred sales charges from the Fund's shareholders.
 
Although there is no legal obligation for the Fund to pay expenses incurred in
excess of payments made to the Distributor under the Plan and the proceeds of
contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors upon redemption of shares,
if for any reason the Plan is terminated, the Trustees will consider at that
time the manner in which to treat such expenses. The Distributor has advised the
Fund that such excess amounts, including carrying charges, total $61,114,557 at
June 30, 1997.
 
The Distributor has informed the Fund that for the year ended June 30, 1997, it
received approximately $1,243,000 in contingent deferred sales charges from
certain redemptions of the Fund's shares.
 
4. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, excluding
short-term investments, for the year ended June 30, 1997 aggregated $260,623,188
and $115,034,846, respectively. Included in the aforementioned are sales of U.S.
Government securities of $172,067.

Also included in the aforementioned are purchases and sales of common stock of
Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter, Discover & Co. ("MSDWD"), an affiliate of the
Investment Manager, of $211,370 and $3,232,366, respectively, as well as a
realized gain of $1,188,264.
 
At June 30, 1997, the Fund's receivable for investments sold included unsettled
trades of MSDWD of $1,651,608.
 
Dean Witter Trust Company, an affiliate of the Investment Manager and
Distributor, is the Fund's transfer agent. At June 30, 1997, the Fund had
transfer agent fees and expenses payable of approximately $92,000.
 
The Fund has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering
all independent Trustees of the Fund who will have served as independent
Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this
plan are based on years of service and compensation during the last five years
of service. Aggregate pension costs for the year ended June 30, 1997, included
in Trustees' fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations, amounted to
$9,143. At June 30, 1997, the Fund had an accrued pension liability of $83,488
which is included in accrued expenses in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.

DEAN WITTER VALUE-ADDED MARKET SERIES -- EQUITY PORTFOLIO
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND TRUSTEES
OF DEAN WITTER VALUE-ADDED MARKET SERIES -- EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Dean Witter Value-Added Market
Series -- Equity Portfolio (the "Fund") at June 30, 1997, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
the nine years in the period then ended and for the period December 1, 1987
(commencement of operations) through June 30, 1988, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 1997 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative
auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide
a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
