DISCLOSURE RELATED TO PIMCO MID-CAP EQUITY FUND
FUND SUMMARIES -- MID-CAP EQUITY FUND
The Fund Summary for the Mid-Cap Equity Fund is supplemented by replacing
"Principal Investments and Strategies" and "Principal Risks" with the
following disclosure.
PIMCO Mid-Cap Equity Fund*
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C> <C>
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE FUND FOCUS APPROXIMATE CAPITALIZATION RANGE
STRATEGIES Seeks long-term growth of capital* Medium and large capitalization More than $1 billion

DIVIDEND FREQUENCY
At least annually
FUND CATEGORY APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF HOLDINGS
Blend Stocks 40-60
</TABLE>
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at
least 65% of its assets in securities of companies with market capitalizations
of at least $1 billion at the time of investment. The Fund may invest up
to 75% of its assets in securities selected for their growth potential. The
Fund will normally invest at least 25% of its assets in securities selected for
their income potential, including dividend-paying common stocks, preferred
stocks, corporate bonds, convertible securities and REITs.
When selecting securities for the Fund's "growth" segment, 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's managers may
choose to sell a stock in the "growth" segment when they believe that its
earnings will be disappointing or that market sentiment on the company will turn
negative. The managers will also consider selling a stock if the company does
not meet the managers' estimates on revenues and/or earnings, or if an
alternative investment is deemed to be more attractive.
When selecting stocks for the Fund's "income" segment, the portfolio
managers seek to identify companies with strong operating fundamentals that
offer potential for capital appreciation and that also have a dividend yield in
excess of the yield on the S&P 500 Index. The portfolio managers may replace an
"income" security when another security with a similar risk-to-reward profile
offers either better potential for capital appreciation or a higher yield than
the Fund's current holding. To achieve its income objective, the Fund may also
invest in preferred stocks, corporate bonds, convertible securities and REITs.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in foreign securities, usually
in the form of American Depository Receipts. 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 RISKS Among the principal risks of investing in the Fund,
which could adversely affect its net asset value, yield
and total return, are:
.Market Risk .Foreign Investment Risk
.Issuer Risk .Currency Risk
.Growth Securities Risk .Interest Rate Risk
.Value Securities Risk .Credit Risk
.Smaller Company Risk .Management Risk
* IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT ON OR ABOUT ________, 2000, THE FUND WILL CHANGE ITS
NAME TO "PIMCO GROWTH & INCOME FUND," AT WHICH TIME IT WILL CHANGE ITS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE TO "SEEKS GROWTH OF CAPITAL; CURRENT INCOME IS A SECONDARY
OBJECTIVE."
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR THE FUND WILL BE UPDATED IN A SUBSEQUENT
POST-EFFECTIVE AMENDMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
The sector captioned "Management of the Funds" is revised to indicate that
Mr. Kenneth Corba and Peter Thoms of the PIMCO Equity Advisors division of PIMCO
Advisors will manage the Fund's portfolio. Information about Mr. Corba, the
Fund's current portfolio Manager, is provided under "Management of the Funds".
Information about Mr. Thoms will be provided in a post-effective amendment.
The subsection of the Prospectus captioned "Summary of Principal Risks--Credit
Risk--Interest Rate Risk" is amended to state in its entirety as follows:
"INTEREST RATE RISK
To the extent that Funds purchase fixed income securities for investment or
defensive purposes, they will be subject to interest rate risk, a market risk
relating to investments in fixed income securities such as bonds and notes. The
Mid-Cap Equity Fund is particularly sensitive to this risk because it may invest
in interest rate sensitive securities such as corporate bonds.
As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities in a Fund's
portfolio are likely to decrease. Securities with longer "durations" (defined
below) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making
them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is a
measure of the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to
determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. A
Fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than a Fund with a shorter average portfolio duration."
The section of the Prospectus captioned "Characteristics and Risks of Securities
and Investment Techniques" is amended as follows:
1. The subsection captioned "Fixed Income Securities and Defensive
Strategies" is amended by adding the following disclosure:
"The Mid-Cap Equity Fund will invest primarily in common stocks, but may also
invest significant portions of its assets in preferred stocks, fixed income
securities, convertible securities and Real Estate Investment Trusts, or
"REITs." The Mid-Cap Equity Fund may temporarily hold up to 100% of its assets
in short-term U.S. Government securities and other money market instruments for
defensive purposes in response to unfavorable market and other conditions."
2. A subsection captioned "Corporate Debt Securities" is added. It
reads in its entirety as follows:
"Corporate debt securities are subject to the risk of the issuer's inability to
meet principal and interest payments on the obligation and may also be subject
to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market
perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity.
When interest rates rise, the value of corporate debt securities can be expected
to decline. Debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to
interest rate movements than those with shorter durations."
3. The subsection captioned "Convertible Securities" is revised to read in its
entirety as follows:
"Each Fund may invest in convertible securities. The Mid-Cap Equity Fund may
place particular emphasis on convertible securities. Convertible securities are
generally preferred stocks and other securities, including fixed income
securities and warrants, that are convertible into or exercisable for common
stock at either a stated price or a stated rate. The price of a convertible
security will normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the
underlying common stock because of this conversion or exercise feature. However,
the value of a convertible security may not increase or decrease as rapidly as
the underlying common stock. A convertible security will normally also provide
income and is subject to interest rate risk. While convertible securities
generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible fixed
income securities of similar quality, their value tends to increase as the
market value of the underlying stock increases and to decrease when the value of
the underlying stock decreases. Also, a Fund may be forced to convert a security
before it would otherwise choose, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund's
ability to achieve its investment objective. "
4. A subsection captioned "High Yield Securities" is added. It reads in its
entirety as follows:
"Securities rated lower than Baa by Moody's or lower than BBB by S&P are
sometimes referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds. The Funds, particularly
the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, may invest in these securities. Investing in high
yield securities involves special risks in addition to the risks associated with
investments in higher-rated fixed income securities. While offering a greater
potential opportunity for capital appreciation and higher yields, high yield
securities typically entail greater potential price volatility and may be less
liquid than higher-rated securities. High yield securities may be regarded as
predominately speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to
meet principal and interest payments. They may also be more susceptible to real
or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher-
rated securities."
5. The subsection captioned "Changes in Investment Objectives and Policies" is
revised by adding the following disclosure:
Effective ___________, 2000, the investment objective of the Mid-Cap Equity
Fund described in this Prospectus may be changed by the Board of Trustees
without shareholder approval.
NEW FUND
It is possible that the Fund may invest in securities offered in initial public
offerings and other similar transactions which, because of the Fund's size, may
have a disproportionate impact on the Fund's performance results. The Fund would
not necessarily have achieved the same performance results if its aggregate net
assets had been greater.

.Market Risk .Growth Securities Risk .Credit Risk
.Issuer Risk .Foreign Investment Risk .Management Risk

the Fund.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance The top of the next page shows summary performance information for
Information 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
Institutional Class shares, which are offered in a different
prospectus. This is because the Fund did not offer Class A, B or C
shares during the periods listed. Although Institutional Class and
Class A, B and C shares would have similar annual returns (because
all of the Fund's shares represent interests in the same portfolio
of securities), Institutional Class performance would be higher than
Class A, B or C performance because of the lower expenses and no
sales charges paid by Institutional Class shares. The Average Annual
Total Returns table also shows estimated historical performance for
Class A, B and C shares based on the performance of the Fund's
Institutional Class shares, adjusted to reflect the actual sales
charges (loads), distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees,
administrative fees and other expenses paid by Class A, B and C
shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL RISKS; AND CHARACTERISTICS AND RISKS OF SECURITIES AND
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
The disclosure for the Fund in these sections is incorporated by reference
from the corresponding sections (revised as set forth below) of the Class ABC
Prospectus. Except as expressly set forth herein or therein or as the context
otherwise requires, references to a "Fund" or the "Funds" in such Prospectus are
deemed to refer to the PIMCO Mid-Cap Equity Fund.
The subsection of the Prospectus captioned "Summary of Principal Risks--
Credit Risk--Interest Rate Risk" is amended to state in its entirety as follows:
"INTEREST RATE RISK
To the extent that Funds purchase fixed income securities for investment or
defensive purposes, they will be subject to interest rate risk, a market risk
relating to investments in fixed income securities such as bonds and notes. The
Mid-Cap Equity Fund is particularly sensitive to this risk because it may invest
in interest rate sensitive securities such as corporate bonds.
As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities in a Fund's
portfolio are likely to decrease. Securities with longer "durations" (defined
below) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making
them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is a
measure of the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to
determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. A
Fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than a Fund with a shorter average portfolio duration."
The section of the Prospectus captioned "Characteristics and Risks of
Securities and Investment Techniques" is amended as follows:
1. The subsection captioned "Fixed Income Securities and Defensive Strategies"
is amended by adding the following disclosure:
"The Mid-Cap Equity Fund will invest primarily in common stocks, but may also
invest significant portions of its assets in preferred stocks, fixed income
securities, convertible securities and Real Estate Investment Trusts, or
"REITs." The Mid-Cap Equity Fund may temporarily hold up to 100% of its assets
in short-term U.S. Government securities and other money market instruments for
defensive purposes in response to unfavorable market and other conditions."
3. A subsection captioned "Corporate Debt Securities" is added. It reads in
its entirety as follows:
"Corporate debt securities are subject to the risk of the issuer's inability to
meet principal and interest payments on the obligation and may also be subject
to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market
perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity.
When interest rates rise, the value of corporate debt securities can be expected
to decline. Debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to
interest rate movements than those with shorter durations."
6. The subsection captioned "Convertible Securities" is revised to read in its
entirety as follows:
"Each Fund may invest in convertible securities. The Mid-Cap Equity Fund may
place particular emphasis on convertible securities. Convertible securities are
generally preferred stocks and other securities, including fixed income
securities and warrants, that are convertible into or exercisable for common
stock at either a stated price or a stated rate. The price of a convertible
security will normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the
underlying common stock because of this conversion or exercise feature. However,
the value of a convertible security may not increase or decrease as rapidly as
the underlying common stock. A convertible security will normally also provide
income and is subject to interest rate risk. While convertible securities
generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible fixed

market value of the underlying stock increases and to decrease when the value of
the underlying stock decreases. Also, a Fund may be forced to convert a security
before it would otherwise choose, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund's
ability to achieve its investment objective. "
7. A subsection captioned "High Yield Securities" is added. It reads in its
entirety as follows:
"Securities rated lower than Baa by Moody's or lower than BBB by S&P are
sometimes referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds. The Funds, particularly
the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, may invest in these securities. Investing in high
yield securities involves special risks in addition to the risks associated with
investments in higher-rated fixed income securities. While offering a greater
potential opportunity for capital appreciation and higher yields, high yield
securities typically entail greater potential price volatility and may be less

rated securities."
8. The subsection captioned "Changes in Investment Objectives and Policies" is
revised by adding the following disclosure:
Effective ___________, 2000, the investment objective of the Mid-Cap Equity
Fund described in this Prospectus may be changed by the Board of Trustees
without shareholder approval.
NEW FUND
It is possible that the Fund may invest in securities offered in initial public
offerings and other similar transactions which, because of the Fund's size, may
have a disproportionate impact on the Fund's performance results. The Fund would
not necessarily have achieved the same performance results if its aggregate net
assets had been greater.

investment is deemed to be more attractive.
When selecting stocks for the Fund's "income" segment, the portfolio
managers seek to identify companies with strong operating
fundamentals that offer potential for capital appreciation and that
also have a dividend yield in excess of the yield on the S&P 500
Index. The portfolio managers may replace an "income" security when
another security with a similar risk-to-reward profile offers either
better potential for capital appreciation or a higher yield than the
Fund's current holding. To achieve its income objective, the Fund may
also invest in preferred stocks, corporate bonds, convertible
securities and REITs.
* IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT ON OR ABOUT________ , 2000, THE FUND WILL
CHANGE ITS NAME TO "PIMCO GROWTH & INCOME FUND," AT WHICH TIME IT
WILL CHANGE ITS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE TO "SEEKS GROWTH OF CAPITAL;
CURRENT INCOME IS A SECONDARY OBJECTIVE."

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 .Growth Securities Risk .Credit Risk
.Issuer Risk .Foreign Investment Risk .Management Risk
.Value Securities .Currency Risk .Interest Rate Risk
Risk .Smaller Company Risk
Please see "Summary of Principal Risks" following the Fund Summaries in the

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
Institutional Class shares, which are offered in a different
prospectus. This is because the Fund has not offered Class D shares
for a full calendar year. Although Class D and Institutional Class
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 lower than Institutional Class
performance because of the higher expenses paid by Class D shares.
The Average Annual Total Returns table also shows estimated
historical performance for Class D shares based on the performance
of the Fund's Institutional Class shares, adjusted to reflect the
actual distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other expenses
paid by Class D shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results.

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.

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.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL RISKS; CHARACTERISTICS AND RISKS OF SECURITIES AND
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
The disclosure for the Fund in this section is incorporated by reference
from the corresponding sections (revised as set forth below) of the Class D
Prospectus. Except as expressly set forth herein or therein or as the context
otherwise requires, references to a "Fund" or the "Funds" in such Prospectus are
deemed to refer to the PIMCO Mid-Cap Equity Fund.
The subsection of the Prospectus captioned "Summary of Principal Risks--Credit
Risk--Interest Rate Risk" is amended to state in its entirety as follows:
"INTEREST RATE RISK
To the extent that Funds purchase fixed income securities for investment or
defensive purposes, they will be subject to interest rate risk, a market risk
relating to investments in fixed income securities such as bonds and notes. The
Mid-Cap Equity Fund is particularly sensitive to this risk because it may invest
in interest rate sensitive securities such as corporate bonds.
As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities in a Fund's
portfolio are likely to decrease. Securities with longer "durations" (defined
below) tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making
them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is a
measure of the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to
determine the sensitivity of a security's price to changes in interest rates. A
Fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than a Fund with a shorter average portfolio duration."
The section of the Prospectus captioned "Characteristics and Risks of Securities
and Investment Techniques" is amended as follows:
1. The subsection captioned "Fixed Income Securities and Defensive Strategies"
is amended by adding the following disclosure:
"The Mid-Cap Equity Fund will invest primarily in common stocks, but may also
invest significant portions of its assets in preferred stocks, fixed income
securities, convertible securities and Real Estate Investment Trusts, or
"REITs." The Mid-Cap Equity Fund may temporarily hold up to 100% of its assets
in short-term U.S. Government securities and other money market instruments for
defensive purposes in response to unfavorable market and other conditions."
3. A subsection captioned "Corporate Debt Securities" is added. It reads in
its entirety as follows:
"Corporate debt securities are subject to the risk of the issuer's inability to
meet principal and interest payments on the obligation and may also be subject
to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market
perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity.
When interest rates rise, the value of corporate debt securities can be expected
to decline. Debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to
interest rate movements than those with shorter durations."
6. The subsection captioned "Convertible Securities" is revised to read in its
entirety as follows:
"Each Fund may invest in convertible securities. The Mid-Cap Equity Fund may
place particular emphasis on convertible securities. Convertible securities are
generally preferred stocks and other securities, including fixed income
securities and warrants, that are convertible into or exercisable for common
stock at either a stated price or a stated rate. The price of a convertible
security will normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the
underlying common stock because of this conversion or exercise feature. However,
the value of a convertible security may not increase or decrease as rapidly as
the underlying common stock. A convertible security will normally also provide
income and is subject to interest rate risk. While convertible securities
generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible fixed
income securities of similar quality, their value tends to increase as the
market value of the underlying stock increases and to decrease when the value of
the underlying stock decreases. Also, a Fund may be forced to convert a security
before it would otherwise choose, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund's
ability to achieve its investment objective. "
7. A subsection captioned "High Yield Securities" is added. It reads in its
entirety as follows:
"Securities rated lower than Baa by Moody's or lower than BBB by S&P are
sometimes referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds. The Funds, particularly
the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, may invest in these securities. Investing in high
yield securities involves special risks in addition to the risks associated with
investments in higher-rated fixed income securities. While offering a greater
potential opportunity for capital appreciation and higher yields, high yield
securities typically entail greater potential price volatility and may be less
liquid than higher-rated securities. High yield securities may be regarded as
predominately speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to
meet principal and interest payments. They may also be more susceptible to real
or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher-
rated securities."
8. The subsection captioned "Changes in Investment Objectives and Policies" is
revised by adding the following disclosure:
Effective ___________, 2000, the investment objective of the Mid-Cap Equity
Fund described in this Prospectus may be changed by the Board of Trustees
without shareholder approval.
NEW FUND
It is possible that the Fund may invest in securities offered in initial public
offerings and other similar transactions which, because of the Fund's size, may
have a disproportionate impact on the Fund's performance results. The Fund would
not necessarily have achieved the same performance results if its aggregate net
assets had been greater.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Fund did not offer Class D shares during the periods listed in the
section of the Class D Prospectus captioned "Financial Highlights."

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.
