Chairman's Message


Dear Shareholder:

Financial markets, particularly the stock market, continued to surprise many
financial experts by posting strong results. For the one-year period ended June
30, 1997, the stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index of
stocks, rose 34.7%. The overall bond market, as measured by the Lehman Aggregate
Bond Index, posted an 8.2% return.
          
Volatility Continues While the financial markets posted gains over the last
year, it was anything but a smooth ride. Stock and bond prices often fluctuated
significantly, as investors focused on the latest news regarding economic
growth, inflation, interest rates and corporate earnings.

Earlier in the year it appeared the financial markets' good fortunes could be
coming to an end. Market gyrations were sharpest from mid-March to early May
1997, as both stocks and bonds experienced sharp losses, followed immediately by
strong gains. As such, investors who resisted the urge to react to short-term
events were rewarded for their patience. In fact, practically every sector of
the stock and bond markets posted gains during the second quarter of 1997.

Looking Ahead As I write this letter, there are positive signs for continued
market strength. These include the balanced budget accord, potential tax cuts,
slow but steady economic growth and few signs of increased inflation. Yet,
concerns do exist. The bull market in stocks is nearing an unprecedented seventh
year. Many market observers, including Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan,
have expressed concerns regarding soaring stock prices.

No matter what the next short-term move in the market is, it is important for
investors to maintain a longer-term perspective with regard to their financial
holdings. We urge shareholders to have realistic expectations for investment
performance, especially in the stock market.
          
A Stronger Fund Family One final note--in January, 1997, the PIMCO Advisors
Funds consolidated with the institutional PIMCO Funds family. We are now one of
the largest fund families in the U.S., with over $27 billion in assets under
management, and we offer forty-one institutional equity and fixed income mutual
funds to help meet your financial needs.
          
With the consolidation, we have two separate prospectuses and shareholder
reports for the PIMCO Funds family, one primarily for our stock funds (PIMCO
Funds: Multi-Manager Series), and the second primarily for our bond funds (PIMCO
Funds: Pacific Investment Management Series). Shareholders of the Multi-Manager
Series will receive reports for fiscal periods ending June 30 and December 31.
Shareholders of the Pacific Investment Management Series will receive reports
for fiscal periods ending March 31 and September 30.

We appreciate the trust you have placed in us as we work to help you meet your
financial objectives.

Sincerely,

/s/ William D. Cvengros

Market Review


The Stock Market

The Bull Market Rolls On

As 1997 began, investors flocked to large-capitalization stocks, and the S&P 500
Index surged ahead nearly 9% by the middle of February. While the large-cap gain
was impressive, most other sectors of the stock market did not fare as
well--most notably small-cap and many technology stocks.

      But, in mid-March, it appeared the bull market would finally come to a
close. Stock prices fell, as signs of strong economic growth led to fears of
rising inflation and interest rates. These increases typically hurt stock
prices, as they can ultimately take a toll on corporate profits. While all
sectors of the stock market fell, small-cap, mid-cap and technology issues felt
the brunt of the decline.

      Then, just as investors were bracing themselves for further adversity, the
stock market displayed amazing resiliency. By the end of June 1997, virtually
every sector of the stock market had rebounded--in many cases dramatically so.
Year-to-date through June 30, 1997, the S&P 500 Index was up nearly 21%. And
small-cap stocks, which had posted negative returns during the first three
months of the year, surged ahead 16% during the second quarter. International
stocks have also turned in strong results, led by emerging market stocks, which
have posted a 16% return during the first half of the year.

      Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the
stock market. The optimism lies in the fact that the current environment is
positive, and corporate profits are healthy. However, if inflation and interest
rates move upwards, we could see an acceleration in market volatility. Given
this scenario, it's important for investors to maintain a long-term outlook and
ensure that their portfolios are adequately diversified.

The Bond Market

A Reversal of Fortune?

Over the last year, the bond market has seen its share of ups and downs.
Investors have spent a great deal of time and energy attempting to determine the
direction of the economy and inflation. As a result, short-term news often led
to heightened interest rate volatility.

       This calendar year initially looked a lot like the start of 1996, as it
began with a promising outlook for the economy and interest rates. However, in a
repeat performance, the bond market retreated when it appeared that economic
growth was accelerating. Interest rates moved steadily upward from late February
through April, 1997, as a result of stronger-than-expected economic growth.

       In an attempt to cool off the economy and make a preemptive strike
against inflation, the Federal Reserve Board raised interest rates 1/4 of a
percentage point in March. This caused long-term interest rates to surge above
7.1% by the end of the first quarter. Since that time, there have been
increasing signs of slower economic growth, as evidenced by the Federal
Reserve's decision not to raise interest rates again in early July. As a result,
the bond market has rallied sharply.

       Through the first half of 1997, the best performing sectors of the bond
market were also last year's winners--high yield and currency-hedged foreign
bonds, in particular emerging market bonds. Mortgage-backed bonds have also
fared well, as yields remained in a limited range, lowering the potential of
mortgage prepayments.

       Despite this year's volatility, we feel the prospects for the bond market
are bright. With an economic slowdown and stagnant inflation, the gradual
decline in interest rates should continue. By the end of the year or in early
1998 we feel the yield on long-term Treasury bonds could fall as low as 6%.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 6/1/93, the Fund's
Institutional Class inception, compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital
International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Free Index, an unmanaged market index. The
performance of the Administrative Class (shown at left) reflects the payment of
a service fee in an amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The
Administrative Class commenced operations on 11/1/94. The performance since
inception (shown at left) begins 11/1/94. The Fund may invest in foreign
securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency
fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty. Past performance is not an
indication of future results.

       The Emerging Markets Fund delivered positive results for the year ended
June 30, 1997, as the Fund's shares increased 10.9% and 10.5% for its
Institutional and Administrative Class shares, respectively. However, these
returns were behind that of the Fund's benchmark (the MCSI Emerging Markets Free
Index).

       The manager's country allocations added significant value to the Fund
over the past year. In particular, Latin America was very strong over the last
quarter, led by Brazil, which was up 34%, Mexico (+25%) and Chile (+16%). These
countries' economies have been able to continue their growth in an environment
with relatively low inflation, spurred by thriving travel, food exportation and
manufacturing. In addition, Chile's performance was aided by interest rates that
have fallen much faster than anticipated.

       One success story for the Fund outside of Latin America was Tata
Engineering (Telco), the largest truck manufacturer in India. This company is
part of the Tata group conglomerate, whose products range from steel to
software. In an expanding economy such as India's, lack of modern transportation
systems is often the most serious impediment to growth. As the lead time to
improve the rail system is long, the increased traffic of goods has to be
accommodated on the roads. Tata Engineering has greatly expanded capacity to
take care of this situation.

       Stock selection within other countries detracted from returns.
Specifically, certain holdings in India and Malaysia, including the textile
company Raymond Willens and the gambling firm Resorts World, limited overall
performance. The manager has since sold both of these securities, and expects
better results in these markets in the future.

       The Fund's manager continues to prefer the Latin American markets to
those of Asia, as the effects of the 1994 devaluation of the peso still keep the
valuations of Latin American countries relatively inexpensive. Brazil is an
example of a strong Latin American holding, as this country has linked its
currency to the U.S. dollar. As a result, Brazil has experienced very little
inflation and has low interest rates. One Latin American market the manager
plans to avoid is Venezuela, where stock prices have gone up very fast, but
where the fundamentals are believed to be weaker compared to other countries.

       Looking ahead, the Fund manager continues to believe that exposure to
emerging market stocks makes sense for aggressive investors looking to diversify
their portfolio.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 7/1/93, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 6/8/93,
compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (Europe,
Australasia, Far East), an unmanaged market index. The performance of the
Administrative Class (shown at left) reflects the payment of a service fee in an
amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 11/30/94. The performance since inception (shown at
left) begins 12/1/94. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which involve
potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political
or economic uncertainty. Past performance is not an indication of future
results.

      For the year ended June 30, 1997, shares of the International Developed
Fund increased 10.1% and 9.8% for its Institutional and Administrative Class
shares, respectively. These returns fell short of the Fund's benchmark (the MSCI
EAFE Index).

      The major factor that limited performance for the Fund was the strength of
the U.S. dollar versus many European countries. The value of the German mark and
the French franc declined relative to the dollar, and, as a result, the strong
returns of the stocks from those foreign markets were much lower when measured
in U.S. terms. This was true for Italy as well, where the Milan market's returns
were nearly cut in half when exchanged into U.S. dollars, due to the declining
lira.

      However, strong results in the Japanese and Asian markets helped offset
the currency disruptions. A national sales tax in Japan had a less serious
impact than was anticipated, and corporate investors moved additional assets
into the country as opportunities increased. Hong Kong rose almost 20% during
the last three months in anticipation of its transfer back to Chinese rule, with
manufacturing and building companies benefiting from optimism for the future.
The manager raised the Fund's exposure to Singapore, as the country appears safe
from currency worries and has a stable economic outlook.

      Turning to specific success stories, Royal Dutch Shell was a significant
contributor to Fund performance and continues to display promising growth
potential. The company has posted strong results thus far in 1997, and the
manager believes this could continue despite the relatively flat outlook for oil
prices. This optimism is driven by several factors, including a successful
cost-reduction program, strong cash flow that has increased the likelihood of
higher dividend payouts, prosperous exploration and attainable financial goals.

      Looking ahead, the Fund's manager plans to remain overweight in European
stocks, especially those of Germany and the Scandinavian countries. In Germany,
the recession that began in 1991 after the collapse of the Berlin Wall has
helped exporters, but the domestic economy has suffered greatly. Now, however,
there are signs of a turnaround in the economy, and the recovery is expected to
trickle down into corporate earnings growth.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 4/1/91, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 3/8/91,
compared to the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance of the
Administrative Class (shown at left) reflects the payment of a service fee in an
amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 7/31/96. The performance since inception (shown at left)
begins 8/1/96. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

      The Capital Appreciation Fund had an outstanding 12 months ended June 30,
1997, with returns of 31.5% for its Institutional Class shares. The Fund has
also posted strong results for the longer term. For the five-year period ended
June 30, 1997, the Fund outperformed the market in general measured by the S&P
500 Index.

      Although the large-cap market performed well over the last year, it was
the largest stocks in the index that were the clear standouts. Known as the
"Nifty 50," the 50 largest stocks in the S&P 500 were up 26.2% over the one-year
period ended June 30, 1997, compared to 15.8% for the remaining 450 stocks in
the index. Due to what the Fund's manager believes are relatively high
valuations, the Fund did not have a large exposure to the market's largest
companies last year. Yet, astute stock picking and sector rotation in the Fund
helped to post returns similar to that of the entire S&P 500 Index.

      Over the past 12 months the Fund's manager modified the portfolio,
decreasing exposure to the technology sector in favor of financial services
stocks. These changes were advantageous for the Fund, as technology stocks
experienced a sharp correction earlier in the year while falling interest rates
have helped the profitability of the financial services sector.

      The Fund's third largest sector, energy, was also an outstanding performer
for the Fund. Led by three oil services companies, the Fund's exposure to this
industry handily beat that of the S&P 500 Index's energy sector. Oil services
companies reaped the benefits of stepped-up exploration for oil and natural gas.
This higher demand allowed the companies to charge higher prices, driving up
corporate profits as well as stock prices.

      Among the other winners in the Fund's portfolio was Dayton Hudson Corp.
The nation's fourth largest general merchandise retailer posted strong results,
as both sales and operating profits from its Target discount stores continued to
increase. The company's most recent quarterly results reported an 88% increase
in operating profits at Target, mostly due to merchandise improvements and cost
reductions. Considering this division of Dayton Hudson accounts for 70% of total
sales, and expansion plans into the Northeast are proceeding as expected, the
Fund's manager believes the company should continue to offer strong growth
potential going forward.

      As the Fund's fiscal year ended, many investors continued to favor
large-cap stocks. However, the strong returns of these stocks has led to
extremely high valuations in many cases. As a result, the Fund's manager
believes its approach of seeking growth stocks that are reasonably priced could
be especially beneficial going forward.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 9/1/91, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 8/26/91,
compared to the S&P Mid Cap Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance of
the Administrative Class (shown at left) reflects the payment of a service fee
in an amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative
Class commenced operations on 11/30/94. The performance since inception (shown
at left) begins 12/1/94. Past performance is not an indication of future
results.

      The Mid Cap Growth Fund posted excellent results for the one-year period
ended June 30, 1997, with returns of 30.6% for Institutional Class shares and
30.2% for Administrative Class shares. These returns handily outperformed the
S&P Mid Cap Index, continuing a consistent pattern that has seen the Fund
surpass its S&P Mid Cap benchmark for the 3- and 5-year periods as well.

      During the past year, the Fund's manager maintained the portfolio's
exposure to the financial sector. This strategy proved to be beneficial, as this
industry has been a strong performer for the Fund. Helped by lower interest
rates, which in turn lowered the interest that financial institutions paid to
their account holders, several Fund holdings were able to expand their margins
and report better-than-expected earnings. Specific examples include SunAmerica,
Inc., a firm that specializes in selling investments to the pre-retirement
market, and Public Storage, Inc., the largest self-storage real estate
investment trust (REIT) in the country. The manager remains bullish on this
sector going forward, as consolidation and cost-cutting could lead to profitable
opportunities in the future.

      Another success for the Fund was its position in the Borders Group, a
leading player in the growing superstore and mall-based book retailing industry.
The company looks to be on its way to another stellar fiscal year, as quarterly
profits exceed expectations. Driven by the popularity of the book "superstore,"
where retail outlets sell books along with CDs, cassettes, coffee and desserts,
Borders continues to post strong sales growth. The Fund's manager is attracted
to the price of the company's stock, as it is well below its historical price
level and, the manager feels, trading at a discount.

      There were limited areas within the Fund's portfolio that hindered its
performance over the past year. For example, the Fund's holdings in the capital
goods and raw materials sectors underperformed the market, yet still added to
the Fund's overall performance.

      Looking ahead, one aspect the Fund's manager will closely monitor is the
high market valuations that have resulted from this record bull run. Given this
market environment, the manager plans to maintain its strategy of investing in
growth stocks that have strong upside potential and are reasonably priced.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 7/1/93, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 6/25/93,
compared to the Russell 2000 Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance
of the Administrative Class (shown at left) reflects the payment of a service
fee in an amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative
Class commenced operations on 4/1/96. The performance since inception (shown at
left) begins 4/1/96. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

       The Micro Cap Growth Fund posted excellent results for the past 12
months, beating its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. Specifically, for the
one-year period ended June 30, 1997, the Fund's Institutional and Administrative
Class shares were up 20.1% and 19.7%, respectively.

       Financial services holdings continue to be important contributors to Fund
performance. While not always associated with "growth," banks and other
financial services companies have posted consistent, double-digit earnings gains
year-over-year while selling at reasonable valuations. In addition, they have
benefited from dwindling concerns over the probability of interest rate
increases by the Federal Reserve. Recently, Dime Financial, Southwest Securities
Group and Chittenden Corp. were standouts.

       The Fund's growth-at-a-price strategy analyzes the trade-off between
company growth fundamentals and stock valuation. Financial stocks currently
exhibit an attractive balance. Consumer goods stocks were also noteworthy, with
strong price appreciation. Virco Manufacturing, Koala and Chattem led the group,
but the sector as a whole bolstered the Fund's performance.
 
       After reaching an all-time high early in 1997, the Fund's weighting in
energy stocks has started to decline. Healthcare and consumer services
companies, while up slightly from the first quarter, have also contracted over
the last 12 months. In contrast, the Fund's allocation to consumer goods has
increased steadily over this period. The weighting in technology stocks, while
lighter than a year ago, has been buoyed recently by gains in several robust
issues.

       The strength of technology reflects growing confidence in industry
fundamentals. Advanced Logic Research, a manufacturer of a wide-ranging line of
computer systems, gained after an acquisition by Gateway 2000; Plexus, a
contract developer offering test services for electronics industries, also
increased; and Asyst Technologies, a developer of environmental technology
systems, nearly doubled.

       Despite the market's exuberance for high-technology stocks, the Fund's
manager remains cognizant of their risks. The manager sold several technology
stocks in recent months, based on declining growth prospects. In total, the
Fund's technology holdings were strong.

       With the current bull run in the stock market, many large-cap stocks are
priced higher relative to smaller-caps. Given this market environment, the
Fund's manager will continue to seek out smaller-cap stocks that have strong
earning potential and are reasonably priced.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 2/1/91, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 1/17/91,
compared to the Russell 2000 Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance
of the Administrative Class (shown at left) reflects the payment of a service
fee in an amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative
Class commenced operations on 9/27/95. The performance since inception (shown at
left) begins 10/1/95. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

       The Small Cap Growth Fund posted outstanding results for the past 12
months, handily outperforming its small cap benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.
Specifically, for the one-year period ended June 30, 1997, the Fund posted
returns of 22.8% and 23.1% for its Institutional and Administrative Class
shares, respectively.

       Consumer service stocks were standouts in the Fund's portfolio over the
past few months. The sector was buoyed by gains in existing holdings such as
Ha-Lo Industries, a distributor in the specialty and premium advertising
products industry, Williams Sonoma and Pier One Imports. The Fund's energy
stocks climbed during the second quarter, bolstered by big gains in drilling
companies. In particular, Falcon Drilling, Cliffs Drilling and Marine Drilling
benefited from increased demand and higher off-shore day rates.

       Over the past year, the Fund's allocations to stocks in the capital goods
and financial sectors have steadily declined. In contrast, the portfolio's
weighting in energy has grown during the same period. As a percentage of equity,
technology is the third largest industry group, but robust gains in several
issues have made this sector an important contributor to portfolio return.

       The Fund was also helped by well-executed sales over the past few months.
The holding in Riser Foods, an operator of 40 supermarkets and a wholesale
distribution business, was sold after it achieved its takeover price upon
merging with Giant Eagle.

       The strength of technology in recent months reflects growing confidence
in industry fundamentals following a period of steep declines in March. Existing
holdings were particularly strong, with Veritas Software, Kulicke & Soffa
Industries and Genrad posting solid results. Several holdings were added to the
Fund, including fault-tolerant computer system manufacturer Stratus Computer,
technical equipment manufacturer Pacific Scientific and custom chip maker VLSI
Technology.

       Looking ahead, one factor the Fund's manager will closely monitor is the
high market valuations that have resulted from this record bull run. Given this
market environment, the manager plans to maintain its strategy of investing in
growth stocks that have strong upside potential and are reasonably priced.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 1/1/95, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 12/28/94,
compared to the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance of the
Administrative Class (shown at left) reflects the payment of a service fee in an
amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 5/31/95. The performance since inception (shown at left)
begins 6/1/95. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

       While the performance of the Fund has improved recently, the Fund's one
year results lagged the broad-based S&P 500 Index. Specifically, for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1997, the Fund's Institutional and Administrative shares
increased 21.6% and 21.2%, respectively, compared to an increase of 34.7% for
the Index.

       Technology remained the Fund's largest sector weight throughout the
fiscal year, and this allocation both helped and hurt performance. In the last
half of 1996 and the second quarter of 1997, Core Equity's relative
overweighting in technology aided performance, as this industry was among the
strongest in the market. Cisco Systems, Lucent Technologies and Motorola are
examples of large Fund holdings that benefited from this strength.

       But during the first quarter of 1997, technology was the worst performing
sector for the Fund. Glitches in company stories and unexpected earnings
disappointments dragged down the industry as a whole, and our concentration on
strong company fundamentals was seen as a negative relative to larger, more
liquid corporations.

       The healthcare sector has also been one of the heavier weightings in the
Fund, and these holdings have performed very well in recent months.
Stronger-than-expected demand for products such as Warner-Lambert's
cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor and Medtronic's new pacemaker has driven the
sector's earnings higher, making it a top performer last quarter.

       Companies that took part in major acquisitions endured a difficult
environment during most of the year. Profiteers, defined as exploiters of risk
arbitrage opportunities, depressed the price of the acquiring company's stock
seeking to capitalize on their "short" positions. Fundamentally sound companies
such as HBO & Company and Washington Mutual declined as a result, and their
performance negatively influenced the return of the Core Equity Fund.

       The Fund's manager believes that although stock prices have risen to
levels some investors feel may be overvalued, company fundamentals are also
improving and the business and investment environment continues to foretell
further fundamental improvement. With this in mind, the manager will continue to
buy and own companies exceeding investor expectations, and avoid those companies
that are falling short.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 1/1/95, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 12/28/94,
compared to the S&P Mid Cap Index, an unmanaged market index. Past performance
is not an indication of future results.


       The Institutional Class shares of the PIMCO Mid Cap Equity Fund increased
9.6% for the one-year period ended June 30, 1997, falling short of returns for
its mid cap benchmark, the S&P Mid Cap Index. As investors' interest moved to
larger-cap, more liquid blue chip companies during the course of the year, the
mid-cap arena fell out of favor. The Fund was hurt by this trend, although
relatively strong performance in the most recent quarter may reflect a positive
change.

       A large exposure to the financial sector helped performance as interest
rates declined over the last twelve months. This resulted in lower operating
costs for both banks and investment firms, and created an environment where
possible consolidation was again attractive. The Fund focused on regional banks
and savings and loan issues that could potentially benefit from these industry
mergers.

       The Fund's largest weighting, technology, made a positive contribution to
performance in the most recent quarter, although this allocation was a drag on
returns for the first nine months of the year. Software and semiconductor stocks
were the primary factors driving performance last quarter, spurred by
innovations regarding possible system problems in the year 2000 and a rebound in
the computer chip market. But as large-cap technology stocks performed well
early in the year due to investor confidence, mid-cap companies were out of
favor and, as a result, not able to take part in the positive trend.

       Energy was another area with mixed results over the year, both helping
and hurting the Fund's performance. Rising oil prices and an increase in the
supply and demand for well drilling boosted the stock prices of refiners,
marketers and equipment companies for most of the year. But a drop in prices
slowed that trend substantially in the most recent quarter, although the manager
believes this industry will continue to be a strong performer over the long
term.

       Going forward, the Fund's manager will continue to closely monitor the
investment environment for potentially adverse trends. Technology and finance
will remain a relatively large part of the portfolio, as the manager believes
these areas offer the greatest opportunity for positive momentum and positive
surprise.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 4/1/91, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 3/8/91,
compared to the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance of the
Administrative Class (shown at left) reflects the payment of a service fee in an
amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 11/30/94. The performance since inception (shown at
left) begins 12/1/94. Past performance is not an indication of future results.

       The Equity Income Fund's performance for the past 12 months was strong,
on an absolute basis, but lagged its broad-based performance benchmark, the S&P
500 Index. Specifically, for the year ended June 30, 1997, the Fund's shares
increased 27.7% and 27.4% for its Institutional and Administrative Class shares,
respectively.

       Over the past year, the Fund's manager maintained the portfolio's
exposure to the utilities sector. This exposure helped the Equity Income Fund,
as this industry has been one of the better relative performers in 1997. Many
utility companies streamlined their operations, thereby decreasing operating
expenses. And, with the positive environment in the bond market, the dividends
offered by utility companies become more attractive relative to other
investments. These factors have helped boost the stock prices in the Fund's
utility holdings.

       Another success story for the Fund in recent months was its steel
industry holdings. The Fund's position in USX-U.S. Steel, the nation's largest
steel producer, benefited from very strong financial results. This was due to
the growing economy, which provided a positive operating environment for the
firm. As a result, the firm was able to raise prices and widen profit margins.
U.S. Steel is a prime example of the type of stock the Fund's manager seeks, as
the company has one of the lowest price-to-earnings ratios in its sector, and
its nearly 3% dividend yield is one of the highest in the steel industry.

       For most of its fiscal year, the Fund also benefited from the energy
sector's strong performance. However, a recent decline in oil prices detracted
from the Fund's performance, as it was overweighted in this sector. An agreement
between Saudi Arabia and Iran that attempts to force other members of OPEC to
curtail crude oil production and raise world oil prices appears to have also
hindered this sector's performance.

       Given the lofty level of the stock market, the manager believes there are
compelling reasons to invest in undervalued stocks. The Fund will continue to
focus on these securities and stocks that offer above-average yields.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 1/1/92, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 12/30/91,
compared to the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged market index. Past
performance is not an indication of future results.

      The Value Fund posted solid absolute results for the year ended June 30,
1997, but with broad market returns favoring large cap growth stocks,
performance trailed its S&P 500 benchmark. Specifically, the Fund's
Institutional Class shares increased 26.4%.

       Falling interest rates helped the performance of the Fund's finance
sector holdings in recent months. Although the portfolio was underweight in this
sector relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund manager's stock selection
resulted in returns that outperformed the Index by more than three percentage
points. As the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond decreased from 7.1% to 6.8%
during the second quarter, financial firms paid less in interest and therefore
boosted earnings.

       An example of a winning stock in the Fund's portfolio is V.F.
Corporation, an international apparel company that has been expanding a number
of its product lines by introducing new brands and acquiring companies. The
company's intimate apparel brands have been the most successful, helping to
drive net income much higher than the market's expectations. Growth in the
Victoria's Secret private label business, new Vanity Fair product introductions,
and a possible purchase of Maidenform Worldwide, Inc., in particular, have had a
positive effect. The manager believes this momentum will continue, and will
benefit not only the gross margins of V.F. Corp., but the share price as well.

       With the strong performance record in the large-cap market for most of
the year, the only aspect of the Fund manager's investment philosophy that
somewhat hindered performance was the relative underweighting within certain
sectors of the market. For example, in the second quarter of this year the
Fund's technology holdings did well, but with a weighting that was less than
that of the S&P 500, the sector's performance did not match that of the index.

       The Fund's manager believes that the market has yet to fully realize the
intrinsic value of many of the portfolio's holdings. Although it is tempting to
become very bullish in the current market environment, the manager will adhere
to its consistent investment strategy of buying stocks that are a good value.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 10/1/91, the Fund's
Institutional Class inception, compared to the Russell 2000 Index, an unmanaged
market index. The performance of the Administrative Class (shown at left)
reflects the payment of a service fee in an amount not to exceed 0.25% on an
annualized basis. The Administrative Class commenced operations on 11/1/95. The
performance since inception (shown at left) begins 11/1/95. Past performance is
not an indication of future results.

       The Small Cap Value Fund posted excellent results for the year ended June
30, 1997, outperforming its benchmark (the Russell 2000, an unmanaged index of
small-cap common stocks) by a wide margin. Specifically, the Fund's results were
32.0% and 31.7% for its Institutional and Administrative Class shares,
respectively.

       Small cap funds in general have been hindered lately by assets being
diverted into other investments, especially large-cap stocks. However, the
Fund's value investment style helped it to surpass many competing funds, and to
do so with less volatility than the small-cap market in general. Based on the
Fund's beta, it was 36% less risky than the average small-cap fund over the past
three years.

       Over the past year, the Fund benefited from its positions in the
financial and producer durables sectors. As of June 30th, financial services was
one of the largest sectors in the Small Cap Value Fund's portfolio. A
combination of restructuring within the industry and declining interest rates
helped drive this sector's earnings to record levels. Examples of Fund holdings
include Raymond James, BankAtlantic and Eaton Vance. The manager believes the
forecast for lower interest rates will result in continuing strong potential for
the finance sector going forward.

       A specific example of a shining star in the Fund's portfolio is
Westinghouse Air Brake Co., North America's largest manufacturer of air brakes
and other safety equipment for trains. The company's performance in recent
months benefited the Small Cap Value Fund, as it reported an increase in net
income greater than the market's expectations. Aggressive efforts for overseas
expansion, as evidenced by the opening of offices in Brazil and China, have paid
off, as have recent acquisitions of domestic companies. These developments,
combined with a relatively low price-to-earnings ratio, make this an attractive
stock going forward.

       The Fund's manager believes that the market has yet to fully realize the
intrinsic value of many of the portfolio's holdings, making them very optimistic
about future performance. In pursuing this continued success, the manager
remains committed to the investment strategy of buying stocks that are a good
value, rather than following the latest trend in the market.

full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 2/11/91,
compared to the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged market index. Past performance is
not an indication of future results.

       The Enhanced Equity Fund's performance for the past 12 months was strong,
on an absolute basis, but nonetheless lagged its performance benchmark, the S&P
500 Index. Specifically, for the one-year period ended June 30, 1997, the Fund's
Institutional Class shares increased 31.5%.

       The financial services sector has been one of the best performers for the
Fund going back to the latter half of 1996. The Fund has benefited from superior
stock selection in this sector, and this group has outperformed as the interest
rate environment has improved. Financial services posted the best results of any
sector early this year and the third best results in recent months. In
particular, some of the Fund's bank stocks posted very strong returns in the
month of January.

       After turning in solid results in 1996 and earlier this year, technology
was one of the weakest performers in recent months. Early in 1997, Fund
investments in technology benefited from strong stock selection. While
smaller-cap technology issues were hit hard in March, the Fund's emphasis on the
larger-cap issues helped stabilize performance in the group. During the second
quarter, Compaq Computers announced an agreement to acquire Tandem Computers in
exchange for 29 million Compaq shares. Shares fell more than 8% during June, but
finished the quarter up 30%. Seagate Technology told investors that earnings
would not meet analysts' estimates, and share value declined for the quarter as
a result.

       Looking ahead, the Fund's manager will continue to maintain sector
weights at or near the weightings represented in the Standard & Poor's 500
Index. The manager will also select stocks with favorable valuations of earnings
and assets, consistent growth estimates and, positive investor sentiment.

The line graph above assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 7/1/92, the first
full month following the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 6/25/92,
compared to a static 60/40 blend of the Standard and Poor's 500 Index and the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, and the Lipper Balanced Index, each an
unmanaged market index. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which involve
potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political
or economic uncertainty. Past performance is not an indication of future
results.

       The Balanced Fund posted solid results for the year ended June 30, 1997,
in line with those of mutual funds with the same objective (measured by the
Lipper Balanced Index). Specifically, the Fund's Institutional Class shares
increased 20.4%.

       Throughout much of the last fiscal year, the Fund's asset allocation was
maintained at 60% stocks and 40% bonds. The Fund's managers felt this allocation
would allow the Balanced Fund to provide the necessary diversification in the
face of sometimes turbulent financial markets. This strategy proved successful,
as the Fund produced strong returns while exhibiting less volatility than the
overall market.

       Among the winners in the Fund's stock portfolio was Bear Stearns
Companies, a major securities firm with business interests in both the stock and
bond markets. Bear Stearns posted strong results, with net revenues increasing
as a result of growth in investment banking. Combined with their successful
margin-lending business, Bear Stearns should be able to continue its
above-average profitability relative to other securities firms.

       Another stock success story for the Fund was Brunswick Corp., a
manufacturer of pleasure boats and bowling equipment. This company took another
step toward transforming itself into a diversified, active recreation company by
acquiring Life Fitness in the second quarter. The purchase of this leading maker
of fitness equipment should enable Brunswick to increase sales without having to
undertake significant additional marketing expense.

       On the bond side, the Fund's managers continued to invest based on the
view that interest rates would decline further over the long term. This strategy
is exemplified by a high quality portfolio with an above-average duration
relative to the benchmark. Over the last quarter, this strategy was rewarded as
long-term interest rates fell.

       Based on the strong performance of the stock and bond markets over the
past year, there were few sectors that detracted from the Fund's returns.
Underweighting in the consumer durables and consumer staples sectors somewhat
limited the performance during the last quarter, although both industries added
value over the year. And, as the 30-year Treasury bond yield fluctuated from
7.2% to 6.8% during the past 12 months, a few volatile swings within that period
affected the Fund's bond portfolio on a short-term basis.

       With the stock market at record highs, the managers believe that more
than ever before it is important to maintain a investment portfolio that is
diversified between stocks and bonds. For this reason, the Fund expects to
maintain its 60% stock/40% bond allocation in the coming months.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 1997


               1. Organization 

               PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series (the "Trust"), formerly known
               as PIMCO Funds: Equity Advisors Series, was established as a
               Massachusetts business trust on August 24, 1990. The Trust is
               registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
               as an open-end management investment company. The Trust currently
               consists of twenty two separate investment funds (the "Funds"):
               the Equity Income Fund; the Renaissance Fund; the Small Cap Value
               Fund; the Value Fund; the Capital Appreciation Fund; the Mid Cap
               Growth Fund; the Micro Cap Growth Fund; the Small Cap Growth
               Fund; the Core Equity Fund; the Mid Cap Equity Fund; the
               Innovation Fund; the Enhanced Equity Fund; the Emerging Markets
               Fund; the International Fund; the International Developed Fund;
               the Target Fund; the Tax Exempt Fund; the Growth Fund; the
               Opportunity Fund; the Precious Metals Fund; the Structured
               Emerging Markets Fund; and the Balanced Fund. The Structured
               Emerging Markets Fund had not commenced operations as of June 30,
               1997. As used in the financial statements, "Institutional
               Classes" refers to the Institutional and Administrative Classes
               and "Retail Classes" refers to the A, B, and C Classes of the
               Trust.

               2. Significant Accounting Policies 

               The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
               consistently followed by the Trust in preparation of its
               financial statements. These policies are in conformity with
               generally accepted accounting principles. 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 in
               the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
               estimates.

               Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial
               instruments for which market quotations are readily available are
               stated at market value. Market value is determined on the basis
               of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, as is
               the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the mean
               between representative bid and asked quotations obtained from a
               quotation reporting system or from established market makers.
               Foreign currency amounts are converted to U.S. dollars using
               foreign exchange quotations received from independent dealers.
               Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are
               valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
               Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations
               are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines
               established by the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed
               income securities whose prices are more readily obtainable.

               Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities
               transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Securities
               purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may
               be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains
               and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified
               cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
               except certain dividends from foreign securities where the
               ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as soon as the
               fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income,
               adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of
               premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis and includes the
               accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

                   During the year ended June 30, 1997, the Capital
               Appreciation, Mid Cap Growth and Enhanced Equity Funds incurred
               one redemption in kind each, resulting in net realized gains of
               $2,666,079, $4,329,586 and $1,574,899, respectively. A redemption
               in kind occurs when a Fund pays a shareholder with portfolio
               securities in lieu of cash.

               Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net
               investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly to
               shareholders of record by the Equity Income, Value and Balanced
               Funds. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared
               and paid at least annually to shareholders of record by the other
               Funds. Net long-term capital gains earned by a Fund, if any, will
               be distributed no less frequently than once each year. Foreign
               exchange gains or losses on investments and the income generated
               from such investments, arising from fluctuations of exchange
               rates of the non-dollar denominated investments relative to the
               U.S. dollar, are reported to shareholders as income in accordance
               with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

                   Income dividends and capital gain distributions are 
               determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may
               differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
               differences are primarily due to differing treatments for such
               items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net operating
               losses and capital loss carryforwards. Certain amounts have been
               reclassified between undistributed net investment income,
               accumulated undistributed net realized gains or losses and paid
               in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting and
               tax requirements characterizations of dividend distributions.

               Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal
               rights as to assets and voting privileges. Income, non-class
               specific expenses and realized and unrealized capital gains and
               losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the
               relative net assets of each class.

               Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated
               investment company and distribute all of its taxable income and
               net realized gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly,
               no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.

               Foreign Taxes on Dividends. Dividend income in the statement of
               operations is shown net of foreign taxes withheld on dividends
               from foreign securities. Foreign taxes withheld were as follows:
               Emerging Markets Fund - $153,802; International Developed Fund -
               $235,194; Capital Appreciation Fund - $26,287; Mid Cap Growth
               Fund - $4,463; Core Equity Fund - $163; Mid Cap Equity Fund -
               $229; Equity Income Fund - $13,433; Value Fund - $18,234; Small
               Cap Value Fund - $885; Enhanced Equity Fund - $5,304; and
               Balanced Fund - $3,328.

               Equalization. Prior to July 1, 1996, all of the Funds followed
               the accounting practice known as equalization, by which a portion
               of the proceeds from sales and costs of repurchases of Fund
               shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of
               distributable investment income on the date of the transaction,
               was credited or charged to undistributed income. As a result,
               undistributed investment income per share was unaffected by sales
               or redemptions of Fund shares. As of July 1, 1996, the Funds
               discontinued using equalization. This change has no effect on the
               Funds' net assets, net asset values per share, or their net
               increases (decreases) in net assets resulting from operations.

               Futures and Options. Certain Funds are authorized to enter into
               futures contracts and options. A Fund may use futures contracts
               to manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets or change in
               interest rates and currency values, or for gaining exposure to
               markets. The primary risks associated with the use of futures
               contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the
               change in market value of the securities held by a Fund and the
               prices of futures contracts and options, the possibility of an
               illiquid market, and the inability of the counterparty to meet
               the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and purchased
               options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement
               prices. The premium received for a written option is recorded as
               an asset with an equal liability which is marked to market based
               on the option's quoted daily settlement price. Fluctuations in
               the value of such instruments are recorded as unrealized
               appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time
               realized gains and losses are recognized.




                                                         1997 Annual Report / 53

               Forward Currency Transactions. Certain Funds are authorized to
               enter into forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of
               hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Fund's
               investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in
               foreign currencies. A Fund may also enter into these contracts
               for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to
               shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country
               to another. All commitments are marked to market daily at the
               applicable translation rates and any resulting unrealized gains
               or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at
               the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the
               currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the
               potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
               contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a
               foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The following
               foreign forward currency contracts were outstanding at June 30,
               1997 (amounts in thousands):

                   For assets and liabilities other than investments in 
               securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from
               foreign currency transactions arise from changes in currency
               exchange rates.

               Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may engage in repurchase
               transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement,
               the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation
               subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the
               Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time.
               The market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to
               the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including
               interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the
               Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses
               incurred.

               3. Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions

               Investment Advisory Fee. PIMCO Advisors L.P. ("PIMCO Advisors")
               serves as investment advisor to the Trust, pursuant to an
               Investment Advisory Agreement. PIMCO Advisors receives from the
               Trust a fee based on an annual percentage of the average daily
               net assets of each Fund as follows: 0.57% for the Core Equity
               Fund; 0.60% for the International Developed and Small Cap Value
               Funds; 0.63% for the Mid Cap Equity Fund; 0.85% for the Emerging
               Markets Fund; 1.00% for the Small Cap Growth Fund; 1.25% for the
               Micro Cap Growth Fund; and 0.45% for all other Funds. Each of the
               Funds also has a sub-advisor which, under the supervision of
               PIMCO Advisors, directs the investments of the Fund's assets.
               Other than the sub-advisor of the Precious Metals Fund, all of
               the sub-advisors are affiliates of PIMCO Advisors. The advisory
               fees received by PIMCO Advisors are paid in all or in part to
               each of the sub-advisers in accordance with the portfolio
               management agreements.

               Administration Fee. PIMCO provides administrative services to the
               Trust for which it receives from each Fund a monthly
               administrative fee based on each share class's average daily net
               assets. The Administration Fee for the Institutional Classes is
               charged at the annual rate of 0.50% for the Emerging Markets and
               International Developed Funds and 0.25% for all other Funds. The
               Administration Fee for the Retail Classes is charged at the
               annual rate of 0.65% for the Emerging Markets and International
               Developed Funds and 0.40% for all other Funds.

                   Distribution and Servicing Fees. PIMCO Funds Distribution 
               Company ("PFDCO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PIMCO Advisors
               L.P., serves as the distributor of the Trust's shares.
                   The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the 
               Administrative Class assets of each Fund in an amount up to 0.25%
               on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class,
               financial in termediaries that provide services in connection
               with the distribution of shares or administration of plans or
               programs that use Fund shares as their funding medium. The
               effective rate paid to PFDCO was 0.25% during the current fiscal
               year.
                   Pursuant to the Distribution and Servicing Plans adopted by
               the Retail Classes of the Trust, the Trust compensates PFDCO for
               services provided and expenses incurred in connection with
               assistance rendered in the sale of shares and services rendered
               to shareholders and for maintenance of shareholder accounts of
               the Retail Classes. The Trust paid PFDCO distribution and
               servicing fees at an effective rate as set forth below
               (calculated as a percentage of each Fund's average daily net
               assets attributable to each class):

</TABLE> 

                   PFDCO also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges
               paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and
               the contingent deferred sales charges paid by the shareholders
               upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C shares.
               For the year ended June 30, 1997, the Funds were informed that
               PFDCO received $235,599 representing commissions (sales charges)
               and contingent deferred sales charges related to the Retail
               Classes.

               Expenses. The Trust is also responsible for the following
               expenses: (i) salaries and other compensation of any of the
               Trust's executive officers and employees who are not officers,
               directors, stockholders or employees of PIMCO Advisors, PIMCO, or
               its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) taxes and governmental fees;
               (iii) brokerage fees and commissions and other portfolio
               transaction expenses; (iv) the cost of borrowing money, including
               interest expenses; (v) fees and expenses of the Trustees who are
               not "interested persons" of the Advisor, PIMCO, Portfolio
               Managers, or the Trust, and any counsel retained exclusively for
               their benefit; (vi) extraordinary expenses, including costs of
               litigation and indemnification expenses; (vii) expenses such as
               organizational expenses, which are capitalized in accordance with
               generally accepted accounting principles; and (viii) any expenses
               allocated or allocable to a specific class of shares, which
               include service fees payable with respect to the Administrative
               Class shares and may include certain other expenses as permitted
               by the Trust's Multiple Class Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3
               under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to review
               and approval by the Trustees. The ratio of expenses to average
               net assets per share class, as disclosed in Financial Highlights,
               may differ from the annual fund operating expenses per share
               class as disclosed in the Prospectus for the reasons set forth
               above. During the reporting period ended June 30,1997,
               differences occurred primarily due to reoganization expenses
               incurred as a result of the reorganization of the former PIMCO
               Funds: Equity Advisors Series and PIMCO Advisors Funds and the
               related adoption of a new fee structure, compensation of the
               Trustees and overdraft expenses. The reorganization expenses are
               non-recurring.
                   Each unaffiliated Trustee receives an annual retainer of 
               $45,000, plus $2,000 for each Board of Trustees meeting attended,
               plus reimbursement of related expenses. In addition, each
               committee chair receives an annual retainer of $2,000. These
               expenses are allocated to the Funds of the Trust according to
               their respective net assets.

9. Reorganization

On September 17, 1996, the Board of Trustees approved the reorganization of
certain of the funds of PIMCO Advisors Funds ("PAF"), an affiliated management
investment company, into the Trust. The reorganization occurred on January 17,
1997. In conjunction with the reorganization, the name of the Trust was changed
to "PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series" from "PIMCO Funds: Equity Advisors
Series." Certain PAF funds were acquired intact and became new Funds of the
Trust. Two Funds of the Trust, the NFJ Diversified Low P/E and the Cadence Mid
Cap Growth Funds, were combined with funds acquired from PAF.

     Also, as part of the reorganization, the NFJ Diversified Low P/E Fund and
the Blairlogie International Active Fund were renamed Value Fund and
International Developed Fund, respectively, to more accurately describe their
investment styles.

     Each Acquiring Fund, as listed below, acquired the assets and certain
liabilities of the Acquired Fund, also listed below, in a tax-free exchange for
shares of the Acquiring Fund, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by
the Acquired Fund's shareholders (amounts in thousands):

Report of Independent Accountants


              To the Trustees and Shareholders of the
              PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series

              In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and
              liabilities, including the schedules 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 the Emerging Markets Fund, International
              Developed Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund,
              Micro Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Core Equity Fund,
              Mid Cap Equity Fund, Equity Income Fund, Value Fund, Small Cap
              Value Fund, Enhanced Equity Fund and Balanced Fund (each a Fund of
              PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series, hereafter referred to as the
              "Funds") at June 30, 1997, and the results of each of their
              operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the
              financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with
              generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
              statements and the financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
              "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds'
              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 custodians 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.

Shareholder Vote (unaudited)


Special meetings of shareholders were held on December 20, 1996, and January 8,
1997, to vote on the following resolutions:

1. Election of eight additional Trustees. The following Trustees were
recommended for election: E. Philip Cannon, Donald P. Carter, Gary A. Childress,
Gary L. Light, Robert A. Prindiville, Joel Segall, W. Bryant Stooks and Gerald
M. Thorne. The following Trustees continue to serve the Trust: William D.
Cvengros, Richard L. Nelson, Lyman W. Porter and Alan Richards.

2. The Cadence Mid Cap Growth Fund will acquire the assets (subject to the
liabilities) of the Discovery Fund, a series of PIMCO Advisors Funds ("PAF").
The NFJ Diversified Low P/E Fund will acquire the assets (subject to the
liabilities) of the Value Fund, a series of PAF.

3. Approve Addendum to the Portfolio Management Agreement. Reallocate investment
advisory fees paid to PIMCO Advisors L.P. ("the Advisor") between the Advisor
and each of the portfolio managers.

4. Approve Second Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust. The Declaration
states that shareholder voting requirements will be provided for in the
provisions of the proposed Bylaws adopted by the Trustees, eliminate the
requirement of a shareholder vote with respect to consolidations or mergers of
the Trust, allows the Trustees to assign certain preferences and special or
relative rights and privileges (including conversion rights, if any) to the
classes of the Trust, eliminate the provision of "reasonable and fair" for
advisory and distribution contracts entered into with certain interested parties
of the Trust and retain the requirement that the contracts remain subject to the
requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and clarifies the procedures
for determining whether parties are entitled to indemnification by the Trust.

5. Approve the Administrative Class Distribution Plan. Under the terms of the
Plan, the Trust will reimburse brokers and other service organizations for costs
and expenses incurred in connection with the distribution and marketing of the
Administrative Class shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to its
customers that invest in the Funds.

Shareholders adopted all resolutions, except for Resolution 5 which was not
adopted by the shareholders of the Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund, Cadence
Small Cap Growth Fund and the Blairlogie Emerging Markets Fund.

The voting on each resolution is summarized below:
