[PICTURE OF GLOBES]
A new era of exploration beckons as the 21st century approaches.
Opportunities for global investors are dramatically increasing as goods,
services and capital cross international borders more freely than ever. At
the same time, dynamic small and mid-size U.S. companies continue to offer
numerous possibilities for impressive growth. Along with these opportunities
come increased risks, including currency fluctuations, political developments
and the greater volatility associated with overseas and small company
investments.* Expert management is crucial to navigating around these risks
toward potentially higher returns.
*IN RETURN FOR THEIR ABOVE AVERAGE GROWTH POTENTIAL, THE STOCKS OF SMALLER
COMPANIES MAY ENTAIL SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER PRICE VARIABILITY THAN THOSE OF
LARGER COMPANIES.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,
We are pleased to bring you the semi-annual report of the Nicholas-Applegate
Mutual Funds for the six months ended September 30, 1997. This has been a period
during which global markets continued their steady upward climb. Within this
environment, small and mid-sized domestic companies have shown signs of renewed
vitality, providing favorable opportunities for growth style investing.
A combination of moderate economic growth, low inflation and increasing
corporate profits in the U.S. provided a positive environment for stocks as the
S&P 500 Index rose 26%. On the international front, the MSCI World Index
increased 18.34%. The economies of many European nations were restrained by
fiscal policies designed to help them meet European Monetary Union criteria.
Encouraged by lower interest rates resulting from these requirements, investors
bid many stock prices higher.
Many Latin American companies continue to benefit from the long-term
transition of government control to privatization. Our funds maintained an
overweighted position relative to the benchmark to take advantage of companies
benefiting from this trend. Conversely, Nicholas-Applegate maintained an
underweighted position in Asia to offset the effects of the Asian currency
crisis. Though we continued to find stocks benefiting from currency devaluation,
the funds eliminated their holdings in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and
Thailand by the end of the period to curtail exposure to unstable fiscal
conditions in this region.
Opportunities for global investors continue to increase. The pace at which
companies are expanding internationally is increasing daily as governments
reform their economies with free market initiatives. New investment
opportunities are constantly opening the door to new profits throughout the
world.
Nicholas-Applegate seeks maximum advantage of the market through its
disciplined, bottom-up investment style for each of our mutual funds. Our
portfolio managers do this on a stock-by-stock basis, actively seeking companies
which exhibit sustainable growth potential and adaptability to changing market
conditions. We employ the expertise of our analysts around the world, using the
most up-to-date financial technology.
Looking forward, we believe the long-term outlook for continued growth appears
positive. However, although the economy has enjoyed a favorable period, market
uncertainties will always persist. This prompts us to encourage individual
investors to maintain a long-term perspective which minimizes undue concern
caused by short-term market fluctuations. Nicholas-Applegate is committed to
helping you attain your long-term investment goals by diligently pursuing our
time-tested investment style.
Thank you for your continued support of Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds. We
welcome your comments and look forward to serving your investment needs in the
years ahead.
Sincerely,
[/S/]
John D. Wylie
President
Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds

Large Company Stocks data represents the Standard & Poor's 500 Index which
contains 500 industrial, transportation, utility and financial companies
regarded as generally representative of the U.S. stock market.
LONG-TERM GOVERNMENT BONDS
Long Term Government Bond data is based on a one bond portfolio whose
rolling approximate maturity is twenty years.
INTERNATIONAL STOCK
International stock data represents the MSCI EAFE Index. The Index is
considered to be a generally accepted benchmark for major overseas markets.
TREASURY BILLS
Treasury bill data is measured by a portfolio having a minimum maturity of
one month.
INFLATION
The Consumer Price Index is a measure of change in consumer prices as
determined by a monthly survey of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Many
pension and employment contracts are tied to changes in consumer prices, as
protection against inflation and reduced purchasing power.
Each equity and bond index reflects the reinvestment of income dividends and
capital gains distributions, if any, but does not reflect fees, brokerage
commissions, or other expenses of investing (except for the DFA Small Company
Fund's returns which are net of transaction costs). All results are historical.

GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate Mini Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. companies with less than
$100 million in market capitalization.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: Benefiting from the resurgence in smaller-cap stocks, our
Mini Cap Growth Fund delivered strong gains from April 1 to September 30, 1997.
The Fund rose 58.7% during the period, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth
Index, which was up 37.4%.
Small-capitalization growth stocks enjoyed a sustained upturn in the first six
months of the Fund's fiscal year, amid a backdrop of favorable economic factors
- -- such as a continued moderate economic expansion, subdued inflation, and a
strong dollar -- which often bode well for small stocks. Unlike larger companies
with overseas operations, small cap stocks are not as susceptible to currency
fluctuations.
After trailing larger-capitalization issues last spring, the small-cap segment
of the market enjoyed a sustained rise starting in May. Compelling valuation
levels relative to large caps and superior earnings growth created increased
demand for small stocks.
As a result of our bottom-up approach, the Fund increased its weighting in the
technology, commercial/industrial, and energy sectors during the six-month
period.
The Fund continues to invest in companies with exceptional earnings growth,
and those adapting successfully to a changing favorable economic environment.
One example is Remedy Temp, a full service staffing company with expertise in a
wide range of areas including clerical, office automation, customer service, and
accounting. The company's prospects remain bright, as strong employment demand
and the economy's enduring strength are seen positively impacting Remedy's
bottom line.
Aavid Thermal Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of thermal engineering
and management solutions, was another solid performer within the Fund. Aavid has
successfully established itself as an authority in thermal design across a
variety of markets, from computers and peripherals to power supplies and motor
controls.
Going forward, we remain optimistic about the prospects for mini cap stocks,
as they continue to offer a source of attractive investment opportunities. As of
September 30, 1997, the median earnings growth rate for holdings in the Mini Cap
Growth Fund was 42.1%, versus 20.6% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Mini Cap Growth Advisory
Portfolio with the Russell 2000 Growth Index, on a cumulative and average annual
total return basis. All return calculations reflect the reinvestment of income
dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as well as all fees and
expenses.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The Russell 2000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index containing those securities
in the Russell 2000 Index with a greater-than-average growth orientation.
Companies in this index generally have higher price-to-book and price-earnings
ratios. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index and is a widely regarded
small-cap index of the 2,000 smallest securities in the Russell 3000 Index which
comprises the 3,000 largest U.S. securities as determined by total market
capitalization.
Index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or other
expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate Emerging Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation through investment primarily in U.S. equity securities of
companies with market capitalizations below $500 million.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: Smaller-cap growth stocks recorded impressive returns
during the period April 1 through September 30, 1997. Marking a reversal from
their performance last spring when they significantly trailed larger-capitalized
stocks, small caps bounced back with a vengeance in May and June, continuing
their upward trek in the succeeding months. For the six-month period ending
September 30, the Nicholas-Applegate Emerging Growth Fund climbed 46.3%,
outpacing the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which was up 37.4%.
Key factors positively impacting performance included superior earnings growth
and greater investor recognition of compelling valuation levels among the Fund's
holdings relative to large caps. Expectations that earnings acceleration for
many larger-cap stocks would slow also benefited small caps.
Exceptional stock selection in the technology, financial services, and energy
sectors positively impacted returns.
Maverick Tube Corporation, a manufacturer of tubular products used in the
energy industry, was among the best-performing stocks in the Fund. The company
specializes in the manufacture of products for drilling, production, and
transportation applications in the energy industry, as well as industrial tubing
products used in various industrial applications.
Cost Plus, a leading specialty retailer of casual home living products, was
also a strong performer during the period. The company benefits from its focus
on selling competitively-priced goods, showcasing a wide array of products from
around the world. Cost Plus is expected to post significant earnings growth
through the continued expansion of its West Coast and East Coast stores. In
1996, total sales increased 17% while earnings per share rose 50%.
The Emerging Growth Fund retains solid fundamentals. The projected median
earnings growth rate for the Fund's holdings as of September 30 was 39.7% versus
20.6% for the Russell 2000 Growth index.
Going forward, we believe investors will continue to focus on stocks offering
consistent earnings strength.
In this light, our Emerging Growth portfolio is poised to benefit from its
smaller-cap orientation, and better-than-benchmark earnings growth rates.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Emerging Growth Advisory
Portfolio with the Russell 2000 Growth Index, on a cumulative and average annual
total return basis. All return calculations reflect the reinvestment of income
dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as well as all fees and
expenses. Performance results reflect the total returns of a predecessor limited
partnership and a pooled trust managed by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management
prior to the effective date of the Portfolio's registration statement which was
10/1/93. Limited partnership/pooled trust returns are restated to reflect all
fees and expenses applicable to the Portfolio. If the limited partnership and
pooled trust had been registered as investment companies under the federal
securities laws, their performance might have been adversely affected because of
the additional restrictions applicable to registered investment companies.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses, in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement, have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The Russell 2000 Growth Index contains those securities in the Russell 2000
Index with a greater-than-average growth orientation. Companies in this index
generally have higher price-to-book and price-earnings ratios. The Russell 2000
Index is a widely regarded small-cap index of the 2,000 smaller securities in
the Russell 3000 Index which comprises the 3,000 largest U.S. securities as
determined by total market capitalization.
The Index reflects the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but does not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or
other expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

CORE GROWTH FUND
ADVISORY PORTFOLIO

MANAGEMENT TEAM

Mid/Large Cap Equities
Andrew B. Gallagher,
Portfolio Manager
Maren Lindstrom,
Portfolio Manager
Thomas J. Sullivan,
Assistant Portfolio Manager
GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate Core Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. companies with more than
$500 million in market capitalization.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: Following an extended period of large-cap outperformance,
investors turned their attention back to mid-cap stocks in May. Contributing
factors included compelling earnings, growth rates, and valuations in the
mid-cap segment relative to large caps. Investors who held on to their mid-cap
stocks throughout a long period of underperformance were rewarded as mid-cap
growth investing returned to favor. While the Fund showed some volatility, its
earnings and valuations proved to be extremely attractive, and we are optimistic
about its outlook. Strict adherance to our investment philosophy rewarded
shareholders with significant appreciation. The Fund gained 30.5% in the six-
month period ending September 30, 1997. The Russell Mid Cap Growth Index was up
30.8% while the S&P 500 Index was up 26.2%.
Superior stock selection in the technology sector was a major contributor to
the Fund's performance. Through Nicholas-Applegate's bottom-up style, our
portfolio managers identified the stocks of many technology companies benefiting
from the trend in domestic businesses to improve their technology
infrastructures. For example, ASM Lithography, one of the best performers for
the Fund during the quarter, experienced increased demand in the semiconductor
industry. The company was able fulfill strong product demand and increase
shipping capacity.
The Fund also enjoyed superior stock selection in the wireless
telecommunications industry, as Nextell Communications increased its share in
the market and showed growth well ahead of expectations.
Teleport Communications also demonstrated significant growth during the
period, with a gain of over 75%.
Our outlook remains positive for the Core Growth Fund with the benefits of the
capital gains tax cut, as well as high earnings growth rates and attractive
relative valuations.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in Core Growth Advisory Portfolio with
the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index and the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index, on a cumulative
and average annual total return basis. All return calculations reflect the
reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as
well as all fees and expenses. Performance results reflect the total returns of
a predecessor limited partnership managed by Nicholas-Applegate Capital
Management prior to the effective date of the Portfolio's registration statement
which was 4/19/93. Limited partnership returns are restated to reflect all fees
and expenses applicable to the Portfolio. If the limited partnership had been
registered as an investment company under the federal securities laws, its
performance might have been adversely affected because of the additional
restrictions applicable to registered investment companies.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The Russell Mid Cap Growth Index measures the performance of those companies
among the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index with higher than
average price-to-book ratios and forecasted growth. The average market
capitalization is $4 billion. The Russell Mid Cap Growth Index is considered
generally representative of the U.S. market for mid cap stocks.
The S&P 400 Index is an unmanaged index considered generally representative of
the market for the stocks of mid-sized U.S. companies. It consists of 400
domestic stocks chosen for market size (median market capitalization of about
$610 million), liquidity, and industry group representation.
In future annual reports, Nicholas-Applegate will compare the Core Growth Fund
only to the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index for purposes of showing annualized
total returns. We believe this shift in benchmark measures is appropriate since
the composition of the Fund more closely matches the composition of the Russell
Mid Cap Growth Index.
Index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or other
expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND
ADVISORY PORTFOLIO

Andrew B. Gallagher,
Portfolio Manager
GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate Large Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation through investment primarily in U.S. companies generally
over $3 billion in market capitalization.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: As the stocks of large companies climbed to all-time highs
several times during the period April 1 through September 30, 1997, the Large
Cap Growth Fund was up 38.3% versus a 26.2% gain for the S&P 500 Index.
The Fund's outperformance is the direct result of stock selection. U.S.
corporations continue to reap the benefits of improved efficiencies, especially
as a result of retooling their technological infrastructures.
Additionally, the worldwide personal computer market is experiencing extremely
high growth. As a result, the Fund holds several large-cap technology stocks
that are benefiting from such growth.
Relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund had a higher weighting in technology
sector during the third quarter. Within the technology sector, stocks of
telecommunications and computers/office automation companies performed the best
for the Fund during the period.
For example, Nokia, a major supplier of telecommunications systems and the
world's largest maker of mobile phones, delivered strong results. Nokia is well
positioned to benefit from potential deregulation around the world. Because of
its commitment to Latin American markets, Nokia is poised to capitalize on the
strong growth expected in the region. Nextel Communications, another solid
performer, also recorded strong growth in the sales of its wireless
communications products.
Stock selection in the energy sector also contributed to the Fund's
outperformance. Santa Fe International, an oil and gas contract drilling
company, was one of the Fund's best performers. The company has shown tremendous
growth, boosting second quarter earnings by more than 166% versus the prior year
period. Operating drilling rigs in 16 countries, Santa Fe is well positioned to
capitalize on accelerating worldwide land and offshore rig activity.
Reflecting the strength of our stock selection, all of the Fund's holdings
reported second quarter earnings results which met or exceeded analysts'
consensus expectations.
We remain optimistic about the outlook for the Large Cap Growth Fund as we
continue to find promising stocks meeting our criteria in this segment.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Large Cap Growth Advisory
Portfolio with the Russell 1000 Growth Index, on a cumulative and average annual
total return basis. The Portfolio calculates its performance based upon the
historical performance of its corresponding series ("Fund") of
Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust, adjusted to reflect sales charges and
Portfolio operating expenses. The effective date of the Portfolio's registration
statement was on 7/21/97. All return calculations reflect the reinvestment of
income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as well as all fees
and expenses.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index containing those companies
among the Russell 1000 Index securities with higher than average price-to-book
ratios and forecasted growth. The Russell 1000 Index contains the top 1,000
securities of the Russell 3000 Index, which comprises the 3,000 largest U.S.
securities as determined by total market capitalization. The Russell 1000 Growth
Index is considered generally representative of the U.S. market for large cap
stocks.
Index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or other
expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Portfolio Manager
GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate Income & Growth Fund seeks to maximize total
return by investing primarily in convertible and equity securities of U.S.
companies.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: A buoyant bond market and the equity market's
record-breaking ascent bolstered returns for our Income & Growth Fund from April
1 through September 30, 1997. The Fund rose 21.6% during the six-month period,
versus a 19.7% gain for the First Boston Convertible Index. Issue selection and
the strong gains among smaller-cap stocks contributed to its outperforming its
benchmark.
The Fund is comprised primarily of convertible bonds issued by small- and
mid-cap companies. Reflecting the smaller-cap nature of the convertible market,
of the total number of firms issuing convertible bonds, about two-thirds have
market capitalizations less than $2 billion.
The Fund continued to deliver returns consistent with our goal of achieving
asymmetrical market participation by capturing approximately 70% to 80% of the
upside performance of the underlying equities with only 50% or less of the
downside exposure. Over the first six months of the fiscal year, the Fund
participated in 81.0% of the gain of the S&P 500 Index, which was up 26.2% in
the period.
As an example of downside protection, when the S&P 500 Index dipped 5.6% in
August amid the downturn in the large- and mid-cap segments of the market, the
Income & Growth Fund was off just 1.2% -- a participation rate of less than 22%.
During the first six months of the fiscal year, we increased the Fund's
allocation among select issues in the technology, retail trade, and commercial/
industrial sectors.
Among the Fund's best-performing holdings was Airtouch Communications, a major
wireless telecommunications holding company, with significant cellular interests
in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The company is one the largest providers
of paging services in the United States, and is forecast to benefit from the
projected growth in infrastructure and technology development.
Ahmanson, one of the largest thrift institutions in the country, also made a
positive contribution to the Fund during the period. Forecasts of strong
earnings for the company, combined with its recent acquisition of Coast Savings
Financial, which is expected to result in significant cost savings, should
further enhance Ahmanson's attractiveness.
We believe convertibles continue to provide investors with appreciation
potential and downside protection. Looking ahead, we remain confident of our
bottom-up approach and our ability to reward shareholders with long-term results
and limited downside risk.

This graph compares a $10,000 investment in Income & Growth Advisory Portfolio
with a similar investment in the CS First Boston Convertible ("First Boston
Convertible") Index, on a cumulative and average annual total return basis. All
return calculations reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital
gains distributions, if any, as well as all fees and expenses. Performance
results reflect the total returns of a predecessor limited partnership managed
by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management prior to the effective date of the
Portfolio's registration statement which was 4/19/93. Limited partnership
returns are restated to reflect all fees and expenses applicable to the
Portfolio. If the limited partnership had been registered as an investment
company under the federal securities laws, its performance might have been
adversely affected because of the additional restrictions applicable to
registered investment companies.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The First Boston Convertible Index is an unmanaged market weighted index
representing the universe of convertible securities whether they are convertible
preferred stocks or convertible bonds.
The Index reflects the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but does not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or
other expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

GOAL: The Balanced Growth Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and
current income by investing approximately 60% of total assets in equity and
convertible securities primarily of U.S. companies and 40% of total assets in
debt securities, money market instruments and other short-term investments.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The Fund climbed 29.7% for the six-month period ending
September 30, 1997 versus an 18.4% gain for a balanced index comprised of 60%
S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index.
Among the Fund's top performers were electronics manufacturer Avid Technology
Inc. and Unitrode Corporation, which assembles semiconductors and
telecommunications equipment.
Fluctuating interest rates affected government debt securities held by the
Fund. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates in late March,
resulting in a mild sell-off in the first half of April. A reported increase in
real GDP to 5.9% also affected bonds negatively. Bonds did well in July
following Alan Greenspan's Humphrey-Hawkins testimony before Congress, and
leveled off in August prompted by a climb in interest rates and stronger than
expected economic reports. Lower than predicted results from the producer price
index and retail sales in early September again boosted the bond market in spite
of increased production during August. Weak housing starts spurred a rally
through the end of the period.
Our long-term outlook for fixed-income investing is positive in spite of
short-term cyclical fluctuations in the bond market. We expect economic growth
to continue to slow over the short-term and then re-accelerate into 1998. We are
confident that the combination of our disciplined style of selecting dynamic
growth stocks and the benefits of diversification offered by fixed-income
securities will continue to deliver favorable long-term results.

This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Balanced Growth Advisory
Portfolio with a model index consisting of 60% Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500
Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, on a cumulative
and average annual total return basis. The Portfolio calculates its performance
based upon the historical performance of its corresponding series ("Fund") of
Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust, adjusted to reflect sales charges and
Portfolio operating expenses. The effective date of the Advisory Portfolio's
registration statement was on 8/31/95. All return calculations reflect the
reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as
well as all fees and expenses applicable to the Portfolio.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index containing 500 industrial,
transportation, utility and financial companies regarded as generally
representative of the U.S. stock market.
The Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged
market-weighted index consisting of all public obligations of the U.S.
Government, its agencies and instrumentalities and all corporation issuers of
fixed rate, non-convertible, investment grade U.S. dollar denominated bonds
having maturities of greater than one year. It is generally regarded as
representative of the market for domestic bonds.
Each index reflects the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but does not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or
other expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate Government Income Fund seeks to maximize current
income through investing primarily in intermediate-term debt securities of the
U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities.*
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The Fund returned 7.83% for the six-month period ending
September 30, as compared to a 6.92% return for its benchmark, the Lehman
Government Bond Index. Performance for the Government Income Fund continued to
be affected by interest rate fluctuations in government debt securities in which
the Fund invests. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates in
late March, resulting in a mild sell-off in the first half of April. A reported
increase in real GDP to 5.9% also affected bonds negatively. Retail and motor
vehicle sales fell in April and May, and unemployment claims rose in May and
June, contributing to declining yields.
Fixed-income performance in the third quarter improved in July following Alan
Greenspan's testimony before Congress. Bond prices were buoyed by increasing
liquidity as short-term money supply growth accelerated. Personal income and
factory orders increased more than predicted, but lower than expected results
from the producer price index, retail sales, and housing starts in early
September boosted the bond market.
In spite of short-term cyclical fluctuations in the bond market, the long-term
outlook for fixed-income securities is favorable. We expect economic growth to
continue to slow over the short-term and then to re-accelerate into 1998. The
long-term trend toward disinflation remains intact, increasing the
attractiveness of fixed-income securities, while the short-term outlook is
slightly positive.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Government Income Advisory
Portfolio with the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, on a cumulative and
average annual total return basis. The Portfolio calculates its performance
based upon the historical performance of its corresponding series ("Fund") of
Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust, adjusted to reflect sales charges and
Portfolio operating expenses. The effective date of the Portfolio's registration
statement was on 8/31/95. All return calculations reflect the reinvestment of
income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as well as all fees
and expenses applicable to the Portfolio.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of all
publicly issued, nonconvertible, domestic debt of the U.S. government or any
agency thereof, quasi-federal corporations or corporate debt guaranteed by the
U.S. government.
The Index reflects the reinvestment of interest income and capital gains
distributions, if any, but does not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or
other expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

GOAL: The Emerging Countries Fund seeks to provide long-term capital
appreciation through investing in companies of developing countries around the
world.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The Emerging Countries Fund delivered outstanding results
during the period April 1 through September 30, 1997 based on the strength of
stock selection. Notwithstanding the currency market debacle that sent equity
prices lower in South East Asia, the Fund rose 19.3% while its benchmark, the
MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index, declined 1.2%.
Applying our bottom-up approach, we select stocks based on their potential to
benefit from positive changes in some of the world's fastest developing
countries.
Due to the currency turmoil in the region, few stocks met our investment
criteria in South East Asia. The Fund was underweighted in the region relative
to the benchmark. During the period, we continued to pick stocks that are poised
to grow despite the unfavorable economic environment, such as export-oriented
companies that generate their revenues in U.S. dollars. For example, we own PT
Daya Guna Samudera, Indonesia's largest fully-integrated fishing company which
exports its products. The company generates 95% of its revenues in U.S. dollars
and is a direct beneficiary of the rupiah's devaluation.
Another solid performer was Peak International, a Hong Kong-based
precision-packaging materials producer with manufacturing facilities in China.
The company is a leading low-cost provider of protective packages used for
shipping integrated circuits.
Our overweighting in Latin America relative to the benchmark was a major
factor contributing to the Fund's gains in the period. We identified companies
in the region benefiting from the ongoing trend toward privatization,
deregulation, and infrastructure development. Companies including steel producer
Siderugica Venezola benefited from Venezuela's infrastructure recovery. In
Mexico, entertainment firm Corporacion Interamericana de Entretenimiento (CIE),
was a strong performer as the company continues to benefit from a consumer-led
economic recovery.
Eastern European stocks also performed well in the period. Gedeon Richter, a
Hungarian pharmaceutical company, and the Portuguese cement company, Cimpor
Cimentos, contributed significantly to the Fund's performance.

This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Emerging Countries Advisory
Portfolio with the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index ("EMF"), on a cumulative and
average annual total return basis. The Portfolio calculates its performance
based upon the historical performance of its corresponding series ("Fund") of
Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust, adjusted to reflect sales charges and
Portfolio operating expenses. The effective date of the Advisory Portfolio's
registration statement was on 8/31/95. All return calculations reflect the
reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as
well as all fees and expenses applicable to the Portfolio.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The MSCI EMF is a market capitalization weighted index composed of companies
representative of the market structure of 22 Emerging Market countries in
Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. The Index excludes closed markets
and those shares in otherwise free markets which are not purchasable by
foreigners.
Index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but does not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or
other expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

GOAL: The International Small Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation through investment in a portfolio of equity securities
primarily of small non-U.S. companies.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The International Small Cap Growth Fund delivered strong
results for the period April 1 through September 30, 1997, outperforming its
benchmark, the Salomon EPAC/EMI (Europe Pacific Australasia Composite/Extended
Market Index), on the strength of its superior stock selection. The Fund
advanced 21.0% versus a 1.2% increase for the benchmark.
Nicholas-Applegate invests for the International Small Cap Fund utilizing our
bottom-up method of selecting the stocks of smaller-sized companies based on
their potential to benefit from positive changes in countries around the world.
The Fund's strong performance during the period can be attributed primarily to
holdings in the technology sector.
In the Netherlands, ASM Lithography and Baan, companies expected to benefit
from the robust growth in the technology industry, were among the
best-performing holdings in the Fund. ASM Lithography is forecast to enjoy
continued progress as it participates in a consortium of leading technology
firms that will develop lithography tools designed to support the next
generation of computer equipment.
Ibiden, a producer of next-generation plastic packages for Intel
microprocessors, was one of the Fund's top-performing holdings in Japan. The
company is a direct beneficiary of Intel's continued strong growth prospects.
The July 1 handover of Hong Kong to China provided many excellent
opportunities during the period. The Fund benefited from stock selection in many
"red chips," stocks of mainland Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong.
South East Asia's currency crisis presented a negative environment during the
period. We virtually eliminated our holdings in the Philippines, Malaysia,
Indonesia and Thailand prior to the crisis. Although we continue to be
underexposed to South East Asia as a whole, the Fund continues to uncover
exciting investments in export-oriented companies benefiting from the
devaluations in the region.
Despite the challenges faced by a number of the world's markets, our
International Small Cap Growth Fund continues to uncover opportunities in
regions across the globe.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the International Small Cap Growth
Advisory Portfolio with the Salomon EPAC EMI Index, on a cumulative and average
annual total return basis. All return calculations reflect the reinvestment of
income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as well as all fees
and expenses. Performance results reflect the total returns of a predecessor
limited partnership managed by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management prior to
the effective date of the Portfolio's registration statement which was 12/31/93.
Limited partnership returns are restated to reflect all fees and expenses
applicable to the Portfolio. If the limited partnership had been registered as
an investment company under the federal securities laws, its performance might
have been adversely affected because of the additional restrictions applicable
to registered investment companies.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The Salomon EPAC Extended Market Index ("EMI") is an unmanaged index. It is a
top-down, float capitalization-weighted index that includes shares of about
2,821 companies in 22 countries excluding Canada and the United States.
Companies within the Index are smaller capitalization companies with available
float market capitalizations greater than U.S. $100 million. Only issues that
are legally and practically available to outside investors are included in the
Index.
The Index reflects the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but does not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or
other expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

GOAL: The International Core Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital
appreciation through investment in a portfolio of equity securities primarily of
mid- to large-sized non-U.S. companies.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: Our International Core Growth Fund delivered outstanding
returns during the period April 1 through September 30, 1997. The Fund
registered an increase of 26.9% far outpacing its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE/EMF
Index up 11.7%.
Nicholas-Applegate's bottom-up stock selection approach, combined with the
Fund's underweighted position in South East Asia relative to the Index, were key
to the portfolio's strong advance during the period.
Our stock selection led us to discover companies that enjoy strong earnings
growth. One example is ASE Test, a Taiwan-based provider of circuit testing for
semiconductor manufacturers. The company, one of the Fund's best performers in
the first six months of the fiscal year, is forecast to generate increased
revenues from the expected expansion in technology spending worldwide.
In Japan, a number of holdings in the technology sector were strong
contributors to the Fund's gains. For example, Minebea, a manufacturer of ball
bearings for computer keyboards, delivered solid returns during the six-month
period.
In Hong Kong, we found many exciting opportunities as the former British-ruled
peninsula was handed over to China in July. The Fund's stock selection among
"red chips," stocks of mainland Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, benefited
the portfolio.
The currency market turmoil raised concerns regarding the earnings
sustainability for a number of holdings in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia,
and Thailand. We virtually eliminated our exposure to these countries prior to
the crisis.
Nicholas-Applegate believes that prospects for larger-cap stocks in developed
international markets remain attractive. In Europe, for example, management
teams are emulating the cost-cutting efficiencies achieved recently in the
United States. Improved earnings growth and escalating stock prices are
potential benefits of the restructuring trend.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the International Core Growth
Advisory Portfolio with the MSCI EAFE Index, on a cumulative and average annual
total return basis. The Portfolio calculates its performance based upon the
historical performance of its corresponding series ("Fund") of
Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust, adjusted to reflect sales charges and
Portfolio operating expenses. The effective date of the Portfolio's registration
statement was on 2/28/97. All return calculations reflect the reinvestment of
income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as well as all fees
and expenses.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
The Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") Europe, Australia, Far East
("EAFE") Index is an unmanaged index that is a generally accepted benchmark for
major overseas markets included in the index on a U.S. dollar adjusted basis.
Index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or other
expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate Worldwide Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation through investing in a portfolio of growth stocks of U.S.
and international companies.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The Worldwide Growth Fund registered a 26.4% increase
during the period April 1 through September 30, 1997, outperforming its
benchmark, the MSCI World Index, up 18.3%. Stock selection, particularly within
the technology sector in the United States and overseas, bolstered returns for
the portfolio.
As businesses around the world invest in technology infrastructure and
purchase large amounts of computer hardware and software, we continued to
identify many companies benefiting from this trend. Some of the Fund's strongest
performers during the first six months of the fiscal year were U.S.-based
technology companies Dell Computer, Intel, and Compaq Computer.
Reflecting the dramatic increase in demand for high-tech products, technology
spending as a percentage of U.S. gross domestic product has tripled during the
last five years. Other industrialized economies are expected to experience a
similar trend.
In the Netherlands, some of our best-performing holdings were also in
technology. ASM Lithography benefited from an increased demand in the
semiconductor industry, and Baan, which registered increased sales for its
business management software products.
Elsewhere in the world, we unearthed exciting stock picks in Japan, Taiwan,
Italy, and Spain. Despite Japan's economic troubles during the period,
Nicholas-Applegate's bottom-up stock selection approach helped us identify
stocks which continue to thrive despite the unfavorable domestic climate.
Healthcare shares, such as Takeda, a pharmaceutical company, and Terumo, a
medical equipment exporter, were some of the contributors to the Fund's gains.
Japan's healthcare industry is expected to benefit from an aging Japanese
population.
As we continue to find many excellent opportunities around the world using our
bottom-up method of stock selection, our outlook for the Fund remains very
positive.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Worldwide Growth Advisory
Portfolio with the Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") World Index, on
a cumulative and average annual total return basis. The Portfolio calculates its
performance based upon the historical performance of its corresponding series
("Fund") of Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust, adjusted to reflect sales
charges and Portfolio operating expenses. The effective date of the Portfolio's
registration statement was on 8/31/95. All return calculations reflect the
reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, as
well as all fees and expenses applicable to the Portfolio.
The total returns for the Portfolio reflect the fact that fees and expenses in
excess of certain expense limits specified in the investment management
agreement have been deferred by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management. Total
return results would have been lower had there been no deferral of fees and
expenses in excess of expense limitations.
MSCI World Index consists of more than 1,400 securities listed on exchanges in
the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East. The Index is
a market-value weighted combination of countries and is unmanaged.
The Index reflects the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any, but does not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or
other expenses of investing.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investment return and
the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds (the "Trust") is organized as a diversified,
open-end management investment company which commenced operation on April 19,
1993. The Trust offers 57 separate series comprised of Portfolios A, with an
initial sales charge, B, with a back-end sales charge, C, with a level
asset-based sales charge, Institutional, with no load, and Advisory (formerly
Qualified), with no load (each a "Portfolio" and collectively the "Portfolios").
The Portfolios of the Trust seek to achieve their respective investment
objectives by investing all of their assets in corresponding series of Nicholas-
Applegate Investment Trust (the "Master Trust"), a diversified open-end
management investment company offering eighteen investment vehicles (the
"Funds"). For a description of the investment objectives of each Fund, see Note
A to the accompanying Funds' financial statement.
INVESTMENT INCOME AND REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES
Each Portfolio accrues income, net of expenses, daily on its investment in the
applicable Fund. All of the net investment income (deficit) and realized and
unrealized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency of
the Fund are allocated pro rata among the investors in the Fund at the time of
such determination.
PORTFOLIO SHARE VALUATION
The net asset value per portfolio share is determined each business day at the
close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing a
portfolio's net assets by the number of its shares outstanding.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
It is the Portfolios' policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Accordingly, no
federal income tax provisions are required.
The Funds are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. Any
interest, dividends and gains or losses of the Funds will be deemed to have been
"passed through" to the Portfolios.
Net investment income and net realized gains for the year (or period where
appropriate) differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because
of one or all of the following: deferral of wash-sale losses, passive foreign
investments, unrealized appreciation/depreciation, and capital loss
carryforwards.
The character of distributions made during the year (or period where
appropriate) from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from
their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes due to book/tax
differences in the character of income and expense recognition. The prospectus
for the Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds describe each Portfolio's policies with
respect to declaration and payment of dividends and distribution of capital
gains.
DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS
Organization costs incurred by the Trust have been allocated to certain
Portfolios based upon management's best estimate of the costs applicable to each
Portfolio. These costs have been deferred and are amortized over a period of 60
months from the date the Portfolios commenced operations.
In the event that any of the initial shares are redeemed by the holder during
the period of amortization of the Portfolio's organization costs, the redemption
proceeds will be reduced by any such unamortized organization costs in the same
proportion as the number of initial shares being redeemed bears to the number of
those shares outstanding at the time of redemption.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The investment adviser to the Master Trust is Nicholas-Applegate Capital
Management ("Nicholas-Applegate" or "Investment Adviser"). The advisory fee is
computed daily for the Funds based upon the percentage of each Fund's average
daily net assets.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICE PLAN
The Trust has approved a shareholder service plan under which Nicholas
Applegate Securities is (the distributor), an affiliate of Nicholas-Applegate
Capital Management, also compensated 0.25% of the average daily net asset value
of the Advisory Series for non-distribution related expenses.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Effective November 15, 1996, the Trust agreed to pay the Adviser for
administrative services at an annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets
of each of the Portfolios. These fees are in addition to the administrative fees
charged by Investment Company Administration Corporation.
EXPENSE LIMITATIONS
Nicholas-Applegate and the Trust have undertaken to limit the Portfolios'
expenses to the following annual levels through March 31, 1998. In subsequent

NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO THE FUND'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust (the "Master Trust"), a diversified,
open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust,
is comprised of eighteen investment vehicles (each a "Fund" and collectively the
"Funds") as of September 30, 1997. Up to five Portfolios of Nicholas-Applegate
Mutual Funds invest in the respective Funds of the Master Trust to achieve their
investment objective.
The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows:
Mini Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through
investment primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies with less than $100
million in market capitalization.
Emerging Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through
investment primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies with less than $500
million in market capitalization.
Core Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through
investment primarily in U.S. companies, generally over $500 million in total
stock market value.
Large Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through
investment primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies with market
capitalizations above $3 billion whose earnings and prices are expected to grow
faster than the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Price Index.
Income & Growth Fund seeks to maximize total return through investment
primarily in convertible and equity securities of U.S. companies.
Balanced Growth Fund seeks to provide a balance of long-term capital
appreciation and current income by investing approximately 60% of its total
assets in equity and convertible securities of primarily U.S. companies and 40%
of its total assets in debt securities, money market instruments and other
short-term investments.
Government Income Fund seeks to maximize current income through investment
primarily in intermediate-term debt securities of the U.S. government and its
agencies and instrumentalities.
Emerging Countries Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation
through investment primarily in equity securities of companies in developing
countries of the world.
International Small Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital
appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of international
companies with smaller to middle market capitalizations.
International Core Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital
appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of international
companies with larger market capitalizations.
Worldwide Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through
investment primarily in growth stocks of U.S. and foreign companies.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
Equity securities are valued at the last sale price (for exchange-listed and
NASDAQ national market system securities) or the mean between the closing bid
and asked prices (if lacking any sales and for over-the-counter securities).
Debt securities generally are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked
prices. Securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued on an
amortized cost basis which approximates market value. Securities for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value determined
in good faith by or under the direction of the Master Trust's Board of Trustees.
Securities transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and
losses from securities
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
84
<PAGE>
NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO THE FUND'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recognized on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign
securities are recorded as soon as the information is available to the Funds.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on
securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into
U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange at the time of valuation.
Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are
translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing
on the respective dates of such translations. The gain or loss resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized
gain or loss from investments, as appropriate.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The Funds are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. Any
interest, dividends and gains or losses of a Fund will be deemed to have been
"passed through" to the Portfolios.
DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS
Organization costs incurred by the Master Trust have been allocated to the
various Funds based upon management's best estimate of the costs applicable to
each Fund. These costs have been deferred and are amortized over a period of 60
months from the date the respective Fund commenced operations.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
B. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The investment adviser to the Master Trust is Nicholas-Applegate Capital
Management ("Nicholas-Applegate"). The advisory fee is computed daily based upon
the following percentages of each Fund's average daily net assets:

EXPENSE LIMITATIONS
Nicholas-Applegate and the Master Trust have undertaken to limit the Funds'
expenses to certain annual levels through March 31, 1998. In subsequent years,
overall operating expenses for each Fund will not fall below the percentage
limitation until the Investment Adviser has been fully reimbursed for fees
foregone or expenses paid by the Investment Adviser under this agreement, as
each Fund will reimburse the Investment Adviser in subsequent years when
operating expenses (before reimbursement) are less than the applicable
percentage limitation.

D. OFF BALANCE SHEET RISKS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Master Trust's investment in foreign securities may entail risks due to
the potential of political and economic instability in the countries where the
securities are being offered. In addition, foreign exchange fluctuations could
affect the value of positions held. It is the Master Trust's policy to
continuously monitor its exposure to these risks.
Some of the Funds may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts as
part of their strategy of preserving capital. Upon entering into forward foreign
currency contracts, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker an amount
of cash or cash equivalents equal to the amount of the contract. The daily
changes in the contract are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds
recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is sold.
