Dean Witter Pacific Growth Fund Inc.
Two World Trade Center
New York, New York 10048
Dear Shareholder:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite a somewhat volatile investing environment, Dean Witter Pacific
Growth Fund Inc. registered a total return of 10.69 percent for the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1994, outperforming both the Standard & Poor's Index and the
Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index, which recorded total returns
of 3.85 percent and 5.90 percent, respectively.
The fiscal year started with a sharp decline in the Japanese market and
continued rapid appreciation of the share prices in the "TIGER" markets through
the end of 1993, which began 1994 at all-time
highs and on valuation levels well above
historical mid-points, fueled by heavy
institutional buying from the U.S. and
Japan, in particular. A mirror image of
late-1993's performance soon took shape,
however, with Japan recovering strongly
and the TIGER markets experiencing a very
sharp correction. This left the region
particularly exposed to negative shocks.
With interest rates generally tied to
those in the U.S. through the mechanism of
managed currency links and the influence
of international fund flows, the sharp
rise in U.S. rates and the resultant
uncertainty and bond-market weakness,
adversely impacted sentiment in the
region.
The TIGER markets moved into the
second half of 1994 in a considerably
better mood. Having consolidated in April,
markets moved steadily ahead over the next
six months. Returns varied considerably
between April 30 and October 31, 1994,
with Taiwan recording an impressive total
return of 76 percent, while Hong Kong
returned just 5 percent.
The Markets
Early in 1994, the Hong Kong market
was particularly hard hit by developments
in the U.S., falling by some 30 percent
from its peak. However, a recovery in the
property market, together with most
favored nation renewal and Sino-British
reconciliation over financing for the new
airport, helped carry the Hong Kong stock
market higher. The Thai market experienced
a similar severe correction in the first
calendar quarter of 1994. However,
following a notable improvement in the
current account deficit, which took
pressure off interest rates, and with
corporate results exceeding most
forecasts, the market rebounded
<PAGE>
sharply. Banking stocks, in particular, performed well, with loan demand buoyant
and interest rate spreads expanding. The portfolio continues to overweight this
sector.
Singapore has held up relatively well, supported by a string of good
economic and corporate data. Regulatory changes aimed at liberalizing
investments by the Central Provident Fund and Statutory Boards, potentially
releasing billions of Singapore dollars into the equity market, further aided
sentiment. Particularly strong was the property sector, led initially by the
residential market and later by a recovery in the office property sector. The
Fund has significant exposure to these sectors, with holdings of City
Developments and DBS Land, both of which recorded substantial gains during the
fiscal year.
The best performance during the fiscal year came from the Northeast Asian
markets of Korea and Taiwan, where cyclical recovery is well underway. The
Korean market soared to record highs during the period, despite a somewhat
volatile first half dominated by the North Korean nuclear situation. Economic
recovery is increasingly broad based and the recent policy shift from
money-supply control to keeping interest rates down in order to sustain
manufacturing growth is supporting overall growth levels of 8 percent this year.
Moreover, as in Singapore, appreciation of the currency at an opportune time
significantly reduces inflationary pressures. Corporate earnings rebounded by
more than 70 percent in the first half of 1994, lead by manufacturing earnings
which rose 130 percent. Exporters such as Samsung Electronics, a significant
portfolio position, recorded particularly strong growth.
Japan recorded only a small rise for the fiscal year despite its significant
outperformance against almost all world equity markets in early 1994. The
strength of the yen remains a concern, although recent results have been
encouraging, with cost-cutting measures already exhibiting a positive impact on
the earnings posted by manufacturing companies.
The accompanying chart illustrates the performance of a $10,000 investment
in the Fund from inception (November 30, 1990) through the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1994, versus the performance of similar hypothetical investments in
the issues that comprise both the Standard & Poor's 500 and Morgan Stanley
Capital International World Indexes.
Market Outlook
We expect Korea and Taiwan to record further strong gains in 1995. Despite
currency appreciation against the dollar, the Korean won remains extremely
competitive versus the yen. Further strong performance by exporters, in
particular, is likely next year. Another factor underpinning the market as we
look toward 1995 is increasing pressure on the Korean authorities to liberalize
their financial markets. With entry to the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development the ultimate goal, increased access to Korean equities for
foreign investors looks to be inevitable. Speculation as to the timing and scope
of any liberalization measures is likely to keep investor attention firmly
focused on Korea over the coming months.
Taiwan offers similar attractions to international investors. Political
uncertainty prior to the December 3, 1994 election is likely to subdue the
market in the short-term. However, the economic recovery is now accelerating,
fueled by both a pick up in exports and rebounding private consumption.
Corporate earnings grew 52 percent during the first half of 1994 and are likely
to continue to exceed most forecasts over the coming months. Furthermore, with
entry to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) ahead of China a high
political priority for Taiwan, the process of liberalizing market access there,
as in Korea, should accelerate next year.
<PAGE>
The Singapore market should remain well supported by strong economic
fundamentals, with export-driven manufacturing taking the lead from the
financial sector as the engine for growth. Concerns regarding inflationary
pressures in such a high-growth environment have been eased by the 8 percent
appreciation of the Singapore dollar so far this year. What's more, further
interest rate hikes are likely to be minimal. Such a positive economic
foundation should enable Singapore to achieve earnings growth of close to 20
percent in 1995.
Looking Ahead
The general fundamentals for investing in Asia over the years ahead remain
positive, with valuations well within historical ranges and underpinned by good
economic statistics and upward revisions to already strong earnings forecasts.
Given this, it is quite possible to forsee average percentage corporate earnings
growth throughout the region in the high teens, with growth coming for the most
part from higher sales volumes, rather than cost cutting and restructuring as in
the West. In the short term, with interest rates trending up, price/earnings
(P/E) multiples are likely to come under some pressure. However, over the longer
term, as investors become more comfortable with investment in the region in
general -- and with the smaller markets, in particular -- P/E multiples appear
to have room for expansion. The correction experienced in 1994 must be seen in
the context of the exceptionally strong finish to 1993, and we feel that with
most markets still below the levels reached at the beginning of 1994, the region
continues to offer the potential for attractive long-term investment returns.
We appreciate your support of Dean Witter Pacific Growth Fund Inc. and look
forward to continuing to serve your investment needs and objectives.
Very truly yours,
Charles A. Fiumefreddo
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Dean Witter Pacific Growth Fund Inc.
(the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund
was incorporated in Maryland on June 13, 1990 and commenced operations on
November 30, 1990.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- (1) an equity security listed or traded on
the New York or American Stock Exchange 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 securities are traded on
more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated
as the primary market by the Directors); (2) listed options are valued at
the latest sale price on the exchange on which they are listed unless no
sales of such options have taken place that day, in which case they will be
valued at the mean between their latest bid and asked price; (3) 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; (4) when market quotations are not readily available,
including circumstances under which it is determined by the Investment
Manager that sale and 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 Directors (valuation of debt securities for which market quotations
are not readily available may be based upon current market prices of
securities which are comparable in coupon, rating and maturity or an
appropriate matrix utilizing similar factors); (5) 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 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; and (6) the value of other assets will be determined in good
faith at their fair value under procedures established by and under the
general supervision of the Directors.
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 on the identified cost
method. Dividend income and other distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities which
are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is accrued daily and includes amortization of discounts of
certain short-term securities.
C. OPTION ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES -- When the Fund writes a call option, an
amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities as a liability which is subsequently marked-to-market to
reflect the current market value of the option written. If a written option
either expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the
Fund realizes a gain or loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss
on the underlying security or currency and the liability related to such
option is extinguished. If a written call option is exercised, the Fund
realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security or currency
and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally
received.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the Fund purchases a call or put option, the premium paid is
recorded as an investment and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect
the current market value. If a purchased option expires, the Fund will
realize a loss to the extent of the premium paid. If the Fund enters into a
closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized for the difference
between the proceeds from the sale and the cost of the option. If a put
option is exercised, the cost of the security or currency sold upon exercise
will be increased by the premium originally paid. If a call option is
exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise will be
increased by the premium originally paid.
D. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- The books and records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value
of investment securities, other assets and liabilities and forward contracts
are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period;
and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the exchange
rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant
exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations as
realized or unrealized gain/loss on foreign exchange transactions. Pursuant
to U.S. Federal income tax regulations, certain foreign exchange gains/
losses included in realized and unrealized gain/loss in the statement of
operations are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for federal
income tax purposes. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results
of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates
from the changes in the market prices of the securities.
E. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund may enter into forward
foreign currency contracts as a hedge against fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates. Forward contracts are valued daily at the appropriate
exchange rates. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in the
Statement of Operations as unrealized gain/loss on foreign exchange
transactions. The Fund records realized gains or losses on delivery of the
currency or at the time the contract is extinguished (compensated) by
entering into a closing transaction prior to delivery.
F. 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.
G. 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.
H. ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES -- Dean Witter InterCapital Inc. (the
"Investment Manager") paid the organizational expenses of the Fund in the
amount of approximately $142,000 which have been fully
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reimbursed by the Fund. Such expenses have been deferred and are being
amortized by the Fund on the straight-line method over a period not to
exceed five years from the commencement of operations.
2. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS -- Pursuant to an
Investment Management Agreement, the Fund pays its Investment Manager a
management fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the annual rate
of 1.0% to the net assets of the Fund determined as of the close of each
business day. Effective May 1, 1994, the Agreement was amended to reduce the
annual fee to 0.95% of the portion of daily net assets in excess of $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.
Under a Sub-Advisory Agreement between Morgan Grenfell Investment Services
Limited (the "Sub-Advisor") and the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisor provides
the Fund with investment advice and portfolio management relating to the Fund's
investments in securities, subject to the overall supervision of the Investment
Manager. As compensation for its services provided pursuant to the Sub-Advisory
Agreement, the Investment Manager pays the Sub-Advisor monthly compensation
equal to 40% of its monthly compensation.
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 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., an affiliate of
the Investment Manager and Distributor, and other employees or selected dealers
who engage in or support distribution of the Fund's shares or who service
shareholder's 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 be compensated under the Plan for its opportunity costs in
advancing such amounts, which compensation would be in the form of a carrying
charge on any unreimbursed expenses incurred by the Distributor.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
The Distributor has informed the Fund that for the year ended October 31,
1994, it received approximately $2,068,000 in contingent deferred sales charges
from certain redemptions of the Fund's shares. The Fund's shareholders pay such
charges which are not an expense of the Fund.
4. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -- The cost of
purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term

book/tax differences primarily attributable to the mark-to-market of passive
foreign investment companies and permanent book/tax differences primarily
attributable to foreign currency losses, dividend redesignations and offsetting
of net realized capital gains with a net operating loss. To reflect cumulative
reclassifications arising from permanent book/tax differences as of October 31,
1993, accumulated net investment loss was charged $1,472,266, paid-in-capital

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK -- As of October 31, 1994,

contracts") as a hedge against changes in foreign exchange rates. Forward
contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amount reflected in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an
unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rates underlying the forward
contracts. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the
potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Report of Independent Accountants
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Dean Witter Pacific Growth Fund
Inc.
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 Pacific Growth Fund
Inc. (the "Fund") at October 31, 1994, 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 three years in
the period then ended and for the period November 30, 1990 (commencement of
operations) through October 31, 1991, 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 owned at October 31, 1994 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.
