FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The section of the Prospectus captioned "Financial Highlights" is supplemented
by adding the following disclosure.
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the financial
performance of Class A, Class B and Class C shares of each Fund for the past 5
years or, if the class is less than 5 years old, since the class of shares was
first offered. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund
share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would
have earned or lost on an investment in a particular class of shares of a Fund,
assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Except as provided in
the next sentence, the information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, whose report, along with each Fund's financial statements, are included in
the Trust's annual report to shareholders. The information for the Target fund
for the period ended December 31, 1999 is included in the Trust's semi-annual
report to shareholders, and is unaudited. The annual report and semi-annual
report are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information
and are available free of charge upon request from the Distributor.
The information provided for the Target Fund reflects the operational
history of a corresponding series of PIMCO Advisors Funds which reorganized as a
series of the Trust on January 17, 1997. In connection with the reorganizations,
the Fund changed its fiscal year ends from September 30 to June 30. The expense
ratios provided for these Funds for periods prior to January 17, 1997 reflect
fee arrangements of PIMCO Advisors Funds previously in effect which differ from
the current fee arrangements of the Trust.

dated November 1, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This document supplements the PIMCO Funds: Multi-Manager Series Prospectus
for Class D Shares (the "Class D Prospectus") dated November 1, 1999, which was
filed as part of Post-Effective Amendment No. 43 to the Trust's Registration
Statement on Form N-1A on October 29, 1999.

DISCLOSURE RELATED TO PIMCO TARGET FUND
The following Fund Summary is added to the Class D Prospectus.

<PAGE>
PIMCO Target Fund
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Principal Investments Investment Objective Fund Focus Approximate Capitalization Range
and Strategies Seeks capital appreciation; no Medium capitalization Between $1 billion and $10 billion
consideration is given to income common stocks
Fund Category Approximate Number of Holdings Dividend Frequency
Growth Stocks 40-60 At least annually
</TABLE>
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally
investing at least 65% of its assets in common stocks of "growth"
companies with market capitalizations of between $1 billion and
$10 billion at the time of investment.
The portfolio managers select stocks for the Fund using a
"growth" style. The portfolio managers seek to identify companies
with well-defined "wealth creating" characteristics, including
superior earnings growth (relative to companies in the same
industry or the market as a whole), high profitability and
consistent, predictable earnings. In addition, through fundamental
research, the portfolio managers seek to identify companies that
are gaining market share, have superior management and possess a
sustainable competitive advantage, such as superior or innovative
products, personnel and distribution systems. The Fund looks to
sell a stock when the portfolio managers believe that its
earnings, market sentiment or relative performance are
disappointing or if an alternative investment is more attractive.
The Fund may also invest in other kinds of equity securities,
including preferred stocks and convertible securities. The Fund
may invest up to 15% of its assets in foreign securities, usually
in the form of American Depository Receipts (ADRs).
In response to unfavorable market and other conditions, the Fund
may make temporary investments of some or all of its assets in
high-quality fixed income securities. This would be inconsistent
with the Fund's investment objective and principal strategies.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Principal Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could
Risks adversely affect its net asset value, yield and total return, are:
.Market Risk .Smaller Company Risk .Currency Risk
.Issuer Risk .Liquidity Risk .Credit Risk
.Growth Securities Risk .Foreign Investment Risk .Management Risk
Please see "Summary of Principal Risks" following the Fund
Summaries for a description of these and other risks of investing
in the Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance The top of the next page shows summary performance information for
Information the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table.
The information provides some indication of the risks of investing
in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to
year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare
with the returns of a broad-based securities market index and an
index of similar funds. The bar chart, the information to its right
and the Average Annual Total Returns table show performance of the
Fund's Class A shares, which are offered in a different prospectus.
This is because the Fund did not offer Class D shares during the
periods shown. Although Class D and Class A shares would have
similar annual returns (because all the Fund's shares represent
interests in the same portfolio of securities), Class D performance
would be higher than Class A performance because Class D shares do
not pay any sales charges (loads). The Class A performance in the
bar chart and the information to its right do not reflect the impact
of sales charges. If they did, the returns would be lower than those
shown. Unlike the bar chart, performance figures for Class A shares
in the Average Annual Total Returns table reflect the impact of
sales charges.
The Average Annual Total Returns table also shows estimated
historical performance for Class D shares based on the performance
of the Fund's Class A shares, adjusted to reflect that there are no
sales charges paid by Class D shares. Prior to March 6, 1999, the
Fund had a different sub-adviser and would not necessarily have
achieved the performance results shown on the next page under its
current investment management arrangements. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results.

(1) The Fund's administration agreement includes a plan for Class
D shares that has been adopted in conformity with the
requirements set forth in Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Up to 0.25% per year of the total
Administrative Fee paid under the administration agreement may
be Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees. The Fund will pay
a total of 0.65% per year under the administration agreement
regardless of whether a portion or none of the 0.25% authorized
under the plan is paid under the plan. Please see "Management of
the Funds--Administrative Fees" in the Class D Prospectus for
details. The Fund intends to treat any fees paid under the plan
as "service fees" for purposes of applicable rules of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD").
To the extent that such fees are deemed not to be "service
fees," Class D shareholders may, depending on the length of time
the shares are held, pay more than the economic equivalent of
the maximum front-end sales charges permitted by relevant rules
of the NASD.
(2) Other Expenses, which is based on estimated amounts for the
Fund's initial Fiscal Year, reflects the portion of the
Administrative Fee paid by the class that is not reflected under
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees.
Examples. The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost
of investing in Class D shares of the Fund with the costs of
investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you
invest $10,000 in Class D shares for the time periods indicated,
and then redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The
Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each
year, the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, and the
Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs
would be based on these assumptions.

Fund pays monthly advisory fees to PIMCO Advisors at the annual rate of 0.55% of
the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Fund pays PIMCO Advisors monthly

2. The section of the SAI captioned "Other Information--Calculation of Total
Return" is amended by adding the following disclosure:
The table below sets forth the average annual total return of certain
classes of shares of the Core Equity Fund for periods ended December 31, 1999.
For periods prior to the "Inception Date" of a particular class of the Fund's
shares, total return presentations for the class are based on the historical
performance of Institutional Class shares of the Fund (the oldest class)
adjusted, as necessary, to reflect any current sales charges (including any
contingent deferred sales charges) associated with the newer class and any
different operating expenses associated with the newer class, such as 12b-1
distribution and servicing fees (which are not paid by the Institutional Class)
and administrative fee charges.

* Average annual total return presentations for a particular class of shares
assume payment of the current maximum sales charge (if any) applicable to that
class at the time of purchase and assume that the maximum CDSC (if any) for
Class A, B and C shares was deducted at the times, in the amounts, and under the
terms discussed in the Class A, B and C Prospectus.
*** Class A, Class B, Class D, Institutional Class and Administrative Class
total return presentations for the Fund listed for periods prior to the
Inception Date of the particular class of the Fund reflect the prior performance
of Class A shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the actual sales charges (or
no sales charges in the case of Institutional Class and Administrative Class
shares) of the newer class. The adjusted performance also reflects any
different operating expenses associated with the newer class. These include (i)
12b-1 distribution and servicing fees, which are paid by Class C and Class B (at
a maximum rate of 1.00% per annum) and Class A and the Administrative Class (at
a maximum rate of .25% per annum), may be paid by Class D (at a maximum rate of
.25% per annum), and are not paid by the Institutional Class and (ii)
administrative fee charges, which are lower than Class C charges for the
Institutional and Administrative Classes (a maximum differential of .15% per
annum) and higher for Class D (a maximum differential of .25% per annum).
(Administrative fee charges are the same for Class A, B and C shares.)
Note also that, prior to January 17, 1997, Class A, Class B and Class C shares
of the former PAF series were subject to a variable level of expenses for such
services as legal, audit, custody and transfer agency services. As described in
the Class A, B and C Prospectus, for periods subsequent to January 17, 1997,
Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Trust are subject to a fee structure
which essentially fixes these expenses (along with other administrative
expenses) under a single administrative fee based on the average daily net
assets of a Fund attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Under the
current fee structure, the Target Fundis expected to have higher total Fund
operating expenses than its predecessor had under the fee structure for PAF
(prior to January 17, 1997). All other things being equal, such higher expenses
have an adverse effect on total return performance for these Funds after January
17, 1997.
(#) WHERE NOTED, THE METHOD OF ADJUSTMENT USED IN THE TABLE ABOVE FOR PERIODS
PRIOR TO THE INCEPTION DATE OF THE NOTED CLASSES OF THE FUNDS RESULTED IN
PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD SHOWN WHICH IS HIGHER THAN IF THE HISTORICAL CLASS
CLASS A SHARE PERFORMANCE (I.E., THE OLDER CLASS USED FOR PRIOR PERIODS) WERE
NOT ADJUSTED TO REFLECT THE LOWER OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE NEWER CLASS. The
following table shows the lower performance figures that would be obtained if
the performance for newer classes with lower operating expenses were calculated
by essentially tacking to such classes' actual performance the actual
performance (with adjustment for actual sales charges) of the older Class of
shares, with their higher operating expenses, for periods prior to the initial
offering date of the newer class (i.e., the total return presentations below are
based, for periods prior to the Inception Date of the noted classes, on the
historical performance of the older class adjusted to reflect the current sales
charges (if any) associated with the newer class, but not reflecting lower
operating expenses associated with the newer class, such as lower administrative
fee charges and/or 12b-1 distribution and servicing fee charges).
TOTAL RETURN FOR PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

classes for periods prior to their inception dates)

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant.
Not applicable.
Item 25. Indemnification
Reference is made to Article VIII, Section 1, of the Registrant's Second
Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which is incorporated
by reference herein.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), may be permitted to trustees, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Trust's
Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, its By-Laws or
otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, officers or controlling
persons of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling persons in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
