LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OCTOBER 31, 1995

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

The last two months of 1994 completed a year of marked weakness for most markets
of the Pacific Basin resulting from the steady upward trend in United States
interest rates and the overheating Chinese economy dominating investor
sentiment. Hong Kong was also impacted by concerns over the local real estate
market. These difficulties were compounded by the crisis which resulted from the
ill-executed currency devaluation in Mexico and the ensuing general reassessment
of currency risk in emerging markets. A number of Asian currencies came under
severe pressure in the early weeks of 1995, forcing local authorities to respond
with significantly higher interest rates. By late January, 1995 the bearish
sentiment in the region reached a crescendo, with valuations falling to levels
similar to those during the Persian Gulf crisis of 1990/1991 and following the
1989 Tiananmen Square incident. During the second quarter, the markets began a
slow, but rather volatile recovery, assisted by improved news flow regarding
U.S. interest rates. However, concerns about the health of Deng Xiao Ping,
China's paramount leader, and the succession uncertainties which may result from
his death kept the region's markets relatively subdued.

By May, increasing indications that the U.S. interest rate environment was
beginning to reverse underpinned a stronger recovery in sentiment across the
region. Notable exceptions to this were the North Asian markets of Japan, South
Korea and Taiwan, all of which remained weak. The Taiwanese market was
particularly weak, hit mainly by increasing cross straits tension with Chinese
missile tests off the coast of Taiwan. The Japanese market remained overshadowed
by a strong yen and policy paralysis on the part of the government.

This situation began to reverse in July with many markets hit by a reallocation
of funds out of South East Asia into Japan, as investors rebuilt Japanese
weightings. The Japanese market rose sharply in yen terms through September,
encouraged by a weaker yen and hopes for a rescue package for the banking
sector. All of the gains were wiped out by currency moves for U.S. dollar-based
investors, as the dollar

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OCTOBER 31, 1995, CONTINUED

strengthened from a low of 80 yen to over 104 yen in mid-September. However, for
Dean Witter Pacific Growth Fund Inc., the currency hedge out of yen into the
dollar secured the majority of local currency gains. Following the sharp
appreciation of the dollar, the hedge was trimmed back as short-term targets
were approached. Despite this recovery, the dollar is still significantly
undervalued on a purchasing power parity basis and should rally further as the
U.S. is deemed to have firmly regained the interest rate initiative. Moreover,
as the Japanese economic recovery gathers momentum, the trade surplus should
continue to decline, providing further support for the dollar. As of the end of
the fiscal year, the Fund still retains a currency hedge.

The markets of South East Asia have been particularly weak recently, with
concerns over economic overheating exacerbated by a string of poor current
account data. Furthermore, exceptionally bad
                                                    [GRAPHIC]
weather conditions (both floods and
droughts) have seriously damaged food
crops across the region, further
aggravating inflationary pressures.
While measures taken to counteract
these pressures, including tighter
domestic liquidity, higher interest
rates and specific credit controls
should eventually contain any
overheating, the immediate impact has
been to further depress market
sentiment.

PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO
                                                    [GRAPHIC]
Against this backdrop, Dean Witter
Pacific Growth Fund Inc. produced a
total return of -8.65 percent, compared
to a return of 7.63 percent for the
Morgan Stanley Capital International
World Index (MSCI World Index) for the
trailing twelve months. 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.
The accompanying chart illustrates the
growth of a $10,000 investment in the
Fund from inception (November 30, 1990)
through the fiscal year ended October
31, 1995 versus a similar investment in
the securities that comprise MSCI World
Index.

At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund remained overweighted in Indonesia (7.8
percent of the Fund's net assets), South Korea (7.6 percent) and Taiwan (1.9
percent) and neutral in Hong Kong (27.7 percent). Exposure to Malaysia (13.3
percent) and Thailand (9.8 percent) was relatively low. The Fund's position in
Japan (13.1 percent) remained low in absolute terms, reflecting the superior
growth potential of the Tiger economies. Among the Fund's key holdings on
October 31, 1995, were Cheung Kong (a Hong Kong property developer), Hutchison
Whampoa (a Hong Kong based conglomerate with interests in the fast growing
telecommunications and port sectors), Sampoerna (an Indonesian clove cigarette
company and a beneficiary of rising disposable incomes), DBS Bank (Singapore's
largest bank) and Samsung Electronics (South Korea's leading integrated
electronics company and a major beneficiary of the global semi-conductor boom).

LOOKING AHEAD

The past two years have been difficult for Pacific Basin investors. Calendar
year 1994 saw a significant correction in markets from the highs at the
beginning of that year following the very strong markets of 1993. While 1995 has
so far proved volatile, it has shown no overall recovery in the region's
markets, despite robust economies and corporate earnings. As a result, prospects
for regional markets as a whole over the months ahead look increasingly
positive, with continued good earnings growth accompanied by potential multiple
expansion providing for an attractive investment environment.

Current interim results support Morgan Grenfell's, the Fund's Sub-Advisor,
forecasts of earnings growth in the high teens for 1995, with upward revisions
possible for 1996, given a more benign interest rate environment. Moreover,
valuations are now below historic averages at less than 15 times 1995 earnings
for the region as a whole. When the downcycle in U.S. interest rates resumes,
there is scope for P/E multiples to begin to expand in line with improved global
liquidity, after two years of contraction. Of the major markets, Hong Kong
continues to offer the potential for good returns over the next year. Despite
some recovery, the market remains on very attractive multiples and with an
interest rate cycle closely tied to that of the U.S., the market should be a
major beneficiary of a turn in the U.S. cycle. Moreover, more encouraging
property market data and lower inflation numbers from China are likely to
underpin the market.

The outlook for South Korea also looks positive. Strong growth at both the
economic and corporate level, together with low P/E multiples and an
increasingly attractive domestic liquidity environment should help the market
move significantly higher over the course of the year. Moreover, a likely
<PAGE>

LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OCTOBER 31, 1995, CONTINUED

further increase in the foreign investment ceiling, given international pressure
for an acceleration of market reforms, together with changes to domestic tax
laws, effectively increasing the relative attraction of equities, should further
support the market.

Within South East Asia, Morgan Grenfell expects a particularly strong
performance from the Indonesian market. Earnings are rising sharply on the back
of strong, investment-driven growth, a cut in corporate tax rates and
accelerating deregulation of a number of industries. Meanwhile, valuations have
fallen to the bottom of historic ranges at just over 12 times 1996 estimated
earnings. In addition, a string of large new issues this year, while depressing
the market over the short term, have significantly improved the overall depth
and breadth of the market.

All of these factors should bode well for the Fund's long-term performance. We
appreciate your support of Dean Witter Pacific Growth Fund Inc. and look forward
to continuing to serve your investment needs.

Very truly yours,

        [SIGNATURE]

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 1995

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 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); 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. Discounts are accreted over
the life of the respective securities. Interest income is accrued daily.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 1995, 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.

DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 1995, 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 reimbursed for the full amount thereof.
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 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 average daily net assets not exceeding $1 billion and 0.95% to
the portion of average 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.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 1995, 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.
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 1995, CONTINUED

The Distributor has informed the Fund that for the year ended October 31, 1995,
it received approximately $4,235,000 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 year ended October 31, 1995 aggregated
$727,319,409 and $704,713,269, respectively.

For the year ended October 31, 1995, the Fund incurred $750,676 in brokerage
commissions with affiliates of Morgan Grenfell for portfolio transactions
executed on behalf of the Fund.

Dean Witter Trust Company, an affiliate of the Investment Manager and
Distributor, is the Fund's transfer agent. At October 31, 1995, the Fund had
transfer agent fees and expenses payable of approximately $256,000.

The Fund has 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 year ended October 31,
1995 included in Directors' fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations
amounted to $12,045. At October 31, 1995, the Fund had an accrued pension
liability of $26,776 which is included in accrued expenses in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities.

DEAN WITTER PACIFIC GROWTH FUND INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 1995, CONTINUED

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

At October 31, 1995, the Fund had a net capital loss carryover of approximately
$3,193,000 which will be available through October 31, 2003 to offset future
capital gains to the extent provided by regulations.

As of October 31, 1995, the Fund had temporary book/tax differences primarily
attributable to the mark-to-market of passive foreign investment companies
("PFICs") and capital loss deferrals on wash sales and permanent book/tax
differences primarily attributable to foreign currency gains and tax adjustments
on PFICs sold by the Fund. To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent
book/ tax differences for the year ended October 31, 1995, undistributed net
investment income was credited and accumulated net realized loss was charged
$31,553,890.

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 October 31, 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.

At October 31, 1995, the Fund's cash balance consisted principally of interest
bearing deposits with Chase Manhattan Bank N.A., the Fund's custodian.

8. COMMITMENTS

As of October 31, 1995, the Fund had outstanding commitments resulting from the
purchase of partially paid portfolio securities which are subject to installment
payments as follows:

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, 1995, 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 four 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 at October 31, 1995 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.
