LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The six-month period ended April 30, 1995, was challenging for investing in the
markets of the Pacific Basin.
As the reporting period began on November 1, 1994, most markets of the Pacific
Basin, excluding Japan, were completing a year of marked weakness. Having
rallied somewhat in the third quarter of the year, markets fell away again in
November and December. The influences behind this weakness were exactly the same
as those which had impacted the markets all year, specifically the steady upward
movement in U.S. interest rates and the overheating of the mainland Chinese
economy. Hong Kong was also impacted by concerns over the local real estate
market (both residential and commercial).
Toward the end of December and into January 1995, these difficulties were
compounded by the crisis resulting from the ill-executed currency devaluation in
Mexico. The devaluation of the Mexican peso severely impacted sentiment towards
all the world's "emerging markets", which came under scrutiny as investors tried
to evaluate whether these markets shared any of the characteristics which had
led to the Mexican debacle.
In fundamental terms, the economies of the Pacific Basin have historically been
run much better and in a much less risky fashion than that of Mexico. Many
countries in the region run current account surpluses and, even those which are
in deficit on the current account, have tended to finance this through long-term
capital inflows in the form of foreign direct investment in plant and equipment,
rather than the short term capital market flows which typified the Mexican
experience. Despite these superior characteristics, a number of currencies in
the region (the Hong Kong dollar, the Thai Baht and the Indonesian Ruppiah) came
under severe pressure in the early weeks of 1995, with the result that the local
authorities had to respond with significantly higher interest rates, which had a
predictably negative impact on the stock markets.

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, CONTINUED
By late January, the bearish sentiment in the region reached a crescendo and the
valuation of regional stock markets had fallen back to levels last seen before
the 1993 bull market took off, and similar to those levels seen in the middle of
the Gulf Crisis 1990-1991 (when this fund was initially launched) and again in
1989, following the Tiananmen Square incident.
Since then, the markets have begun a slow but rather volatile recovery, assisted
by improved news flow regarding US interest rates. The second half of the period
under review was typified by somewhat positive returns at least from the major
markets of the region. However, the hangover from the Mexican crisis continued
to impact some of the smaller markets, with the result that Indonesia,
Philippines and Thailand were the worst performing regional markets during the
period. Sentiment was also dampened by concerns regarding the health of Deng
Xiao Ping (China's paramount leader) and about the succession uncertainties
which will flow from his ultimate death.
Below are the returns of the various regional markets during the period.

</TABLE>
It will be noted that Japan continued to move in a very different fashion to the
other Pacific Basin markets. This was, however, wholly due to the exceptional
strength of the Japanese Yen during the period, rising 15.4% against the US
dollar, mainly during the first quarter of 1995. The underlying Japanese stock
market was weak (-14.5% in Yen terms). The Fund's portfolio manager believes
that the Japanese Yen is significantly overvalued against the U.S. dollar, and
that economic recovery in Japan will bring with it a decisive turn in the trade
surplus resulting in a reversal of recent currency movements. With this scenario
in mind, the Fund retains the currency hedging strategy out of Yen into U.S.
dollars for assets invested in Japan.
PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
Against this difficult investment climate, Dean Witter Pacific Growth Fund
declined 14.54 percent for the six-month period ended April 30, 1995. This
compares to a return of 3.65 percent for the Morgan
<PAGE>

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS, CONTINUED
Stanley Capital International World Index (MSCI World Index). However, unlike
the Fund which invests primarily in securities in the markets of the Pacific
Rim, the MSCI World Index measures the performance of the European, Asian and
American markets. As of April 30, 1995, the Fund's net assets totaled $1.3
billion.
As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund remains overweighted in Taiwan,
Korea and Indonesia, with exposure to Malaysia and Thailand relatively low. Over
the first three months of 1995, the Fund reallocated assets into Hong Kong,
neutralizing the underweighted position that prevailed throughout much of 1994.
The Fund's position in Japan remains low in absolute terms, reflecting the
superior growth potential of the Tiger economies.
LOOKING AHEAD
Looking to the future, the Fund's portfolio manager believes that the Tiger
stock markets of the Pacific Basin presently offer excellent value for long-term
investors. This is particularly the case for the smaller markets of the region,
which have been unjustifiably tarnished by comparisons made with Mexico. A
recovery is expected in these markets as the year unfolds, aided by the expected
peaking out of the U.S. interest rate cycle. Economic performance within the
region remains extremely robust and healthy, maintaining similar levels to those
which have typified recent years. Inflation is on a gradual uptrend in the
region and this may maintain some pressure on regional interest rates, but is
not expected to be serious. Nonetheless it is unlikely that 1995 will see any
great willingness on the part of the investors to "pay up" for equities and,
hence, market returns will be mainly generated by corporate earnings growth,
which also remains robust. Investors may see some expansion in regional
price/earnings ratios and more bullish stock market conditions in 1996. Overall,
we remain positive about the outlook for Pacific Basin investment.
We appreciate your support of Dean Witter Pacific Growth Fund and look forward
to continuing to serve your investment needs.
Very truly yours,
[SIG]

DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 1995 (UNAUDITED)
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, American Stock Exchange or other domestic or foreign stock exchanges
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); and (5) short-term debt
securities having a maturity date of more than sixty days at the 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
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 on certain short-term securities.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 1995 (UNAUDITED) CONTINUED
C. OPTION ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES -- When the Fund writes a call option, an amount
equal to the premium received is included in the Fund's 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.
When the Fund purchases a call or put option, the premium paid is recorded as an
investment which 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 and
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 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 which are valued daily at the appropriate exchange rates. The
resultant unrealized 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
forward contract is extinguished (compensated) by entering into a closing
transaction prior to delivery.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 1995 (UNAUDITED) CONTINUED
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 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
following annual rates to the net assets of the Fund determined as of the close
of each business day: 1.0% to the portion of daily net assets not exceeding $1
billion and 0.95% to 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.

DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 1995 (UNAUDITED) CONTINUED
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. ("DWR"), 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 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.
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 six months ended April 30,
1995, it received approximately $2,020,000 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 investments, for the six months ended April 30, 1995 aggregated
$349,379,878 and $350,232,687, respectively.
For the six months ended April 30, 1995, the Fund incurred $324,840 in brokerage
commissions with affiliates of Morgan Grenfell for portfolio transactions
executed on behalf of the Fund. At April 30, 1995, the Fund's receivable for
investments sold included unsettled trades with Morgan Grenfell of $2,368,327.
Dean Witter Trust Company, an affiliate of the Investment Manager and
Distributor, is the Fund's transfer agent. At April 30, 1995, the Fund had
transfer agent fees and expenses payable of approximately $248,000.
The Fund adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
covering all independent Directors of the Fund who will have served as
independent Directors/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 six months ended April 30, 1995, included in Directors' fees and expenses in
the Statement of Operations amounted to $5,973. At April 30, 1995, the Fund had
an accrued pension liability of $18,921 which is included in accrued expenses in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
As of October 31, 1994, the Fund had temporary 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.
7. PURPOSES OF AND RISKS RELATING TO CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts")
to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions
or to manage foreign currency exposure associated with foreign currency
denominated securities.
At April 30, 1995, there were no outstanding forward contracts other than those
used to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio
transactions.
Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts
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.
