At Nicholas-Applegate, our unconventional perspective on investing is
changing the world of money management. Ours is a philosophy that enables us
to find companies with great potential around the world. Our bottom-up style
and team approach, along with our international analyst network/exchange
program and proprietary database, make it possible for us to seek out
promising stocks throughout the world.
COMPUTER CHIP MANUFACTURER: JAPAN -- Of the myriad of choices around the
world, the U.S.' largest computer chip maker opted for the services of a
Japanese packaging company, a company that has since become a thriving stock
in one of our portfolios.
ENTERTAINMENT: MEXICO -- The upturn in the Mexican economy has spawned an
explosive entertainment industry. Spearheading that growth is an
international promoter of live concerts that is just one of our growing
stocks.
FURNITURE MANUFACTURER: UNITED STATES -- With a complete management
makeover, a well-established furniture manufacturer and retailer has revamped
its entire business plan to aggressively pursue a younger market, making it
an archetypical Nicholas-Applegate holding.
GLOBAL TEMP AGENCY: SWITZERLAND -- Due to the streamlining of work forces
abroad, Europe's largest global temporary help agency was an ideal addition
to some of our portfolios.
PIZZA: THAILAND -- Pizza is fast becoming the most popular food among the
younger generations in Thailand, making a Thai holding company of several
fast-food chains the perfect candidate to be a Nicholas-Applegate holding.
Disclosure: International investing involves special risks, including
currency and political risks not associated with domestic investments.
Distributor: Nicholas-Applegate Securities.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
The recently ended fiscal year was both eventful and revealing. The U.S. stock
market continued its 1990s bull-market run, favoring the largest of U.S.
companies.
Many of the larger companies that benefited from the narrowness of the advance
did show the kinds of improving fundamental strengths that have brought
unprecedented returns to domestic stocks over the past ten years. However, other
large-company stocks appear to have enjoyed substantial returns for reasons
other than business success.
We believe the current situation has led to excellent opportunities in the
stocks of international companies and dynamic, growing small and mid-sized U.S.
companies.
Your portfolio may have become overexposed to large company stocks as a result
of their strong returns in recent years. If so, now may be an opportune time to
take advantage of other promising areas of the capital markets. I urge you to
speak with your financial consultant today about how your assets are currently
allocated.
Your asset allocation plan is vitally important to your long-term financial
success. At Nicholas-Applegate, our disciplined approach to investing results in
mutual funds that work especially well in asset allocation plans. We do this by
remaining true to style and committed to an investment plan for each fund.
Our specialty is identifying companies poised for growth. We do this on a
bottom-up, or stock-by-stock, basis, using some of the investment industry's
most refined tools. Our extensive network of analysts provides us with "eyes and
ears" around the world. And our database of more than 20,000 companies worldwide
helps us uncover and capture new opportunities anywhere and anytime they happen.
Thank you for your continued support of Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds.
Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]
John D. Wylie
President

SMALL COMPANY STOCK
Small Company Stocks data represents the smallest one-fifth of NYSE stocks
from 1/1/26 through 12/31/81 and Dimensional Fund Advisors ("DFA") Small Company
Fund thereafter, with all income dividends and capital gains distributions, if
any, reinvested.
LARGE COMPANY STOCK
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.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance of any index or

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 & OUTLOOK: The Mini Cap Growth Fund turned in positive returns for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, a period in which small company growth stocks,
as represented by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, fell 5.9%.
Smaller company growth stocks were at the forefront of the market's upturn
early in the fiscal year. Economic factors, including a perceived slowing of the
economy and strong U.S. dollar, were seen as creating a positive environment for
small stocks. Small-company shares can thrive in periods of slow economic growth
since their earnings depend less on the condition of the economy and more on the
specific nature and character of the companies themselves. Also, unlike larger
companies with overseas operations, small company stocks are not greatly
affected by changing currencies.
The market's rise was cut short as investors shifted attention and favor from
smaller-company stocks to larger-company stocks over the last six months of the
fiscal year. Technology companies, which contributed strong gains in the first
half, struggled in the second half. Many computer networking companies reported
disappointing earnings and the strong U.S. dollar contributed to a downturn in
technology stocks.
Excellent stock selections in the retail trade and manufacturing sectors
helped during this turbulent period. Among the top performers were Pacific
Sunwear, a mall-based retailer of young men's casual apparel and accessories;
and Genesco, Inc., a footwear manufacturer. Both Pacific Sunwear and Genesco
benefited from increased store sales over the past year. These companies are
expected to increase earnings growth in the years ahead.
Despite the year's disappointments, we remain optimistic about the outlook for
our bottom-up style of investing in the mini cap area. As of March 31, 1997, the
median earnings growth rate for holdings in the Mini Cap Growth Fund was 30.6%,
versus 17.7% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index. We believe mini cap companies
continue to offer a source of attractive investment opportunities.

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.

Global Equity Management
Thomas E. Bleakley,
Portfolio Manager
Ronald J. Krystyniak,
Portfolio Manager
John C. McCraw,
Portfolio Manager
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 were among the market leaders
during the first half of the Fund's fiscal year. However, after a summer
sell-off in the technology sector, cautious investors began to favor
larger-companies' stocks.
Technology stocks, which contributed to strong gains earlier in the year,
experienced a difficult environment in later quarters. The pullback in
technology issues was most pronounced within smaller-cap segments. Earnings
disappointments among networking companies, increasing competition sector-wide,
and the strong U.S. dollar were key factors adversely affecting technology
stocks. The combination of technology stocks' underperformance and the Fund's
slightly higher exposure within this sector, relative to the Russell 2000 Growth
Index, negatively impacted returns.
Stock selection in the energy and retail trade sectors made a positive
contribution to the Fund's performance during the year. Varco International
Inc., a manufacturer of drilling equipment, and Trico Marine Services Inc., a
provider of marine support services to the offshore drilling industry, both
posted strong results as they capitalized on more favorable industry-wide trends
in the energy sector. Ross Stores Inc., an operator of off-price, brand-name
apparel stores, also exhibited solid gains from positive same-store sales trends
and strong earnings growth.
The Fund retains solid fundamentals. The median earnings growth rate for the
Fund's holdings as of March 31 was 36%. We continue to identify and invest in
companies we believe hold great potential for growth.
Going forward, we expect the pace of earnings growth among issues in the broad
market to slow. As a result, we believe investors will return their focus to
stocks offering consistent earnings strength. We believe our bottom-up,
growth-oriented approach should excel in such an environment.

</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 and share class. 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.

Senior Portfolio Manager

Thomas J. Sullivan,
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: Smaller-cap growth stocks were among the market leaders
during the first half of the Fund's fiscal year. However, in the last six
months, investors turned from growth stocks toward a narrow group of larger-cap
stocks. As a result, factors that contributed to strong results early in the
period impacted returns in later quarters and the Fund's performance trailed
that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Technology stocks, which had contributed to strong gains, experienced a
difficult environment. The pull-back was most pronounced within the small- and
mid-cap segments as investors moved from stocks with higher earnings growth. In
addition, underperformance among healthcare holdings and our overweighting in
this sector relative to the S&P 500 negatively affected returns.
The Fund's stock selections in energy and utility sectors contributed
positively to performance. Oilfield service companies Ensco International and BJ
Services both posted strong returns as they capitalized on more favorable trends
in the oil and gas industry.
Over the last six months, we have reduced our technology exposure on a
stock-specific basis. While there are strong pockets of opportunity in the
software, semiconductor, and wireless communications industries, we have
virtually eliminated the Fund's exposure to the computer hardware and networking
telecommunications segments due to several factors adversely affecting earnings
trends in these areas.
The Fund retains compelling fundamentals. The median earnings growth rate for
the Fund's holdings as of March 31 was 28%. Going forward, we expect the pace of
earnings growth among issues in the broad market to slow. As a result, we
believe investors will return their focus to stocks offering consistent earnings
strength. Because of our bottom-up, growth-oriented approach, we believe we
should excel in such an environment.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in Core Growth Advisory Portfolio with
the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 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 and share class. 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 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 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
Portfolios only to the S&P 400 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 S&P 400 Index.
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 Nicholas-Applegate Income & Growth Fund seeks to maximize total
return through investment primarily in convertible and equity securities of U.S.
companies.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The Nicholas-Applegate Income & Growth Fund finished the
fiscal year, ended March 31, 1997, with solid returns, outperforming both the
overall convertible securities market and the average mutual fund investing in
convertible securities, as represented by the First Boston Convertible Index and
the Lipper Convertible Funds Average. The Fund benefited from its extensive
holdings in financial and energy companies and flourished in the stable bond
market environment. A robust level of offerings of new convertible securities
also contributed to the Fund's advance.
During down stock-market periods in the fiscal year, the Fund participated in
only about half the downside of the overall market, as represented by the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index. While the bond market was negatively affected by
reports of strong job growth, high levels of consumer confidence, and
accelerating gains in personal income, bond values in the Income & Growth Fund
ended the year strong, even in light of the Federal Reserve's move to raise
interest rates at the end of the period.
U.S. convertible securities issuance rose to record-high levels in the period,
with the market resuming its traditional role of offering attractively priced
financing to weaker credit companies. We have been able to find a greater number
of securities offering the downside stability that we require.
We found many excellent opportunities in the financial services sector,
including, Ahmanson, the holding company for Home Savings of America, which
benefited from increased merger and acquisition activity in the sector.
Insurance services, especially life insurance companies, helped Fund
performance.
We are optimistic moving forward. We believe the convertible market continues
to offer excellent opportunities for growth as well as protection on the
downside.

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 and share class. 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.

MANAGEMENT TEAM

Lawrence S. Speidell, CFA,
Partner, Director of Global/Systematic
Portfolio Management
John J. Kane,
Partner, Senior Portfolio Manager
Fred S. Robertson,
Partner, Chief Investment Officer,
Fixed Income Management
GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate 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: Early in the Fund's fiscal year, strong performance by
smaller-company growth stocks contributed to gains. However, after a summer
sell-off in the technology sector, cautious investors favored larger-company
stocks.
During the 12-month period ending March 31, 1997, the Nicholas-Applegate
Balanced Growth Fund achieved more modest returns than a composite index
comprised of 60% of the S&P 500 Index and 40% of the Lehman Government/Corporate
Index.
The Fund's overweighting within the technology sector relative to the
benchmark contributed to gains. Disappointing returns in the consumer services
and consumer non-durables sectors negatively impacted returns.
One of the Fund's best performers during the period was Western Digital Corp.,
a manufacturer of disk drives for personal computers. While the company
benefited from strong demand, competitive pressures threatened the
sustainability of earnings growth and prompted us to reduce our position. Ross
Stores, Inc., the nation's third largest off-price retailer, also performed
well.
The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates in March. The Fed
cited persisting economic strength as one reason for the action, which prompted
a quarter-end sell-off.
Our long-term outlook for bonds remains positive. However, with little slack
in the economy, short periods of accelerating economic activity may prompt the
Fed to raise rates again. Thus, we believe the risk of higher near-term rates
makes a neutral stance on interest rates appropriate.
We are optimistic that the combination of our disciplined approach to
selecting dynamic growth stocks and the diversification benefits of fixed income
securities will continue to deliver solid long-term returns.

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. 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 investment primarily in intermediate term debt securities of the
U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The Fund turned in disappointing performance in the fiscal
year ended March 31, 1997 as interest rate shifts contributed to uncertainty in
the economic environment.
During the beginning of the period, the bond market declined after a
surprisingly strong February employment report. In May, fundamental and
technical factors diverged resulting in violent interest rate shifts within a
tight range. We reduced the Fund's duration in order to avoid any negative
surprises. Recognizing a slowdown to below-average growth trends in August, we
lengthened the duration of the Fund. In December, we again shortened our
duration in response to stronger housing starts and new home sales, consumer
confidence and above average trend growth.
The first quarter of 1997 was marked by conflicting news regarding the
direction and health of the U.S. economy. Interest rates fluctuated throughout
the period as investors attempted to make sense of the conflicting reports.
Strong job growth, high levels of consumer confidence, and accelerating gains in
personal income, all negatively impacted the bond market. At the same time,
contractionary fiscal policies, stable money supply growth rates, and moderate
economic growth rates were evident.
As of March 31, 1997, 78% of the Fund was invested in U.S. Government
securities, with 22% invested in investment grade corporate bonds. Of the
government securities, 31% of the portfolio was invested in U.S. Treasury
securities, 8% in U.S. agencies' securities, and 39% in mortgage securities. We
practice active duration management to adjust the Fund's holdings for changes in
the interest rate environment. Duration is a measure of a bond's responsiveness
to changes in interest rates. The fund's managed duration target at the end of
the fiscal year was 5.4 years, similar to that of the benchmark Lehman
Government Corporate Index. This reflects our positive long-term view of the
bond market, and our concern that interest rates will rise in the near term.
We continue to seek to add value to the Fund by choosing what we believe to be
the most promising individual bonds based on our outlook for interest rates,
projected yields as well as industry trends.

</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. 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 Nicholas-Applegate Emerging Countries Fund seeks to provide
long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies in developing countries
around the world.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The Emerging Countries Fund delivered solid results on the
strength of stock selections in some of the fastest growing markets of the
world.
During the fiscal year, the Fund's returns significantly outpaced the advance
of the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index. The benefits of our stock selection
decisions could be no more apparent than in Thailand, where the Fund gained
approximately 17% in 1996, while the overall market fell more than 36%.
Leaders of the world's emerging countries are actively pursuing reforms,
deregulating their economies, and inviting foreign investment. As a result, a
wealth of opportunities are being generated. Amid this environment, our holdings
in Russia, China, and Latin America were especially strong performers during the
fiscal year.
In Asia, many export-dependent economies were negatively impacted by slowing
consumption in Europe and Japan. We identified a number of Asian companies
capitalizing on change, including ASE Test Limited, a Taiwan-based provider of
integrated circuit testing services, and Guangnan Holdings, the sole distributor
of live and fresh foodstuffs in Hong Kong. Expanding its operations to include
food distribution in China and the development of a supermarket chain, Guangnan
is poised to benefit from increasing demand for imported foods.
Solid gains among Latin American holdings were also a significant source of
outperformance for the Fund during the period. For example, stock selection in
Brazil, specifically Telecomunicacoes Brasileires, one of the Fund's top
performers, was a positive contributor to the Fund's gains.
We remain optimistic regarding the outlook for emerging countries. Rapid
growth in these regions, combined with Nicholas-Applegate's bottom-up stock
selection process, creates promising opportunities for long-term appreciation.

This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Emerging Countries Advisory
Portfolio with the International Finance Corporation ("IFC") Investable Index
and the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index ("EMF"), 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 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 IFC Investable Index is an unmanaged index and measures the performance of
more than 1,100 stocks that are legally and practically available to outside
investors in 25 emerging market countries of the world.
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.
In future annual reports, Nicholas-Applegate will compare the Emerging Countries
Portfolios only to the MSCI EMF 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 MSCI EMF
Index.
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 smaller foreign companies.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The International Small Cap Growth Fund delivered solid
performance in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 on the strength of its
superior stock selection. The Fund outpaced both the Salomon EPAC/EMI Index,
representative of smaller international companies, and the Lipper International
Small Company Funds Average, a measure of peer performance.
The Fund benefited from excellent stock selections, from investments in stocks
of emerging markets countries, as well as from underweighting the weak Japanese
stock market, all resulting from our bottom-up process of managing portfolios.
Exporters were key to the Fund's success in European markets as well as in
Japan. The strong U.S. dollar helped European exporters, and demand for new car
models from European manufacturers boosted auto stocks. This helped us with our
holdings in companies such as Porsche, whose cost cutting program has resulted
in a ten-fold increase in profits and whose new Boxster model is expected to
more than double the firm's orders.
We benefited from our holdings of Sema, a UK company, showing solid growth as
outsourcing becomes an increasingly popular international trend.
We remain optimistic about the opportunities for international investing in
both the long and short term. International companies appear to be attractively
valued relative to U.S. companies and foreign economies are showing signs of
continued improvement. Long-term trends toward improved efficiency and stability
appear firmly in place.

</TABLE>
This graph compares a $10,000 investment in the International Small Cap Growth
Advisory Portfolio with the Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") EAFE
Index and 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 and share class. 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 MSCI Europe, Australia, Far East ("EAFE") Index is an unmanaged index that
is a generally accepted benchmark for major overseas markets. The MSCI EAFE
Index weightings represent the relative capitalization of the major overseas
markets included in the index on a U.S. dollar adjusted basis.
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.
In future reports, Nicholas-Applegate will compare the International Small Cap
Growth Fund only to the Salomon EPAC EMI Index for purpose 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 Salomon
EPAC EMI.
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 International Core Growth Fund seeks to maximize
long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of
international companies.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: In its brief history, this new Fund has shown great
promise relative to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe,
Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index. The Fund invests in the top 75% of market
capitalization in each country.
Stock selection, especially in Scandinavia, exposure to emerging countries,
and the Fund's underweighted position in Japan relative to the Index,
contributed positively to performance in the period.
Among the top-performing holdings in the period was Ares-Serono, a Swiss drug
company that focuses on the production of infertility drugs, growth hormones,
and new drugs to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) and AIDS. The company has a 70%
market share in infertility drugs. Strong top-line growth is expected from the
introduction of new drugs and from expanding margins due to new high-price
products and economies of scale.
Another strong performer was Volkswagen, the German auto maker. Pent-up demand
for new European automobiles contributed to Volkswagen stock's recent advance.
On March 31, more than 12% of the Fund was invested in emerging countries. Solid
gains among holdings in Latin America positively affected returns for the Fund
during the period. A political shift to democratic rule and economic reforms has
encouraged privatization and foreign investment in the region. Structural
reforms are expected to further accelerate the region's rapid growth rate. In
Brazil, for example, an economic reform plan has created a more favorable
investment environment.
We remain optimistic on the outlook for international investing. With
expectations for accelerating economic growth worldwide, we are confident the
application of our bottom-up, growth-oriented investment philosophy will reward
shareholders with solid returns.

GOAL: The Nicholas-Applegate Worldwide Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation through investment in a portfolio of growth stocks of U.S.
and international companies.
REVIEW AND OUTLOOK: The Worldwide Growth Fund delivered solid performance on
the strength of superior stock selections this year, outperforming its
respective benchmark, the MSCI World Index.
With approximately 25% of holdings in the United States, the Fund benefited
from such holdings as Merck & Co. The pharmaceuticals company continues to add
breakthrough drugs, such as Aggrastat, which treats coronary syndromes, and
Propecia, which treats male baldness, leading it to hold one of the strongest
product lines in the industry.
Superior stock selection, including our underweighting of Japanese stocks, and
investment in stocks of emerging markets countries, contributed to the Fund's
performance relative to the MSCI World Index for the period.
Throughout the world, we found excellent opportunities in the stocks of
manufacturers and exporters, which benefited from increased sales as a result of
a stronger U.S. dollar. A stronger dollar makes foreign-produced goods more
affordable to U.S. consumers.
In Europe, the Fund benefited from pent up demand for new cars, which
translated into rising shares for such holdings as Porsche. The company's
cost-cutting program has resulted in a ten-fold increase in profits. The new
Boxster model is expected to contribute to a doubling of the firm's orders.
The Fund has extensive holdings in the technology sector, which is fueling
productivity and efficiency gains abroad.
Cap Gemini, a French computer services firm, continues to show solid prospects
for growth based on their potential to provide advisory services in a changing
marketplace.
Improving economic conditions and political stability make us optimistic about
the prospects of investing in stocks worldwide.

</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. 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 offers 52 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 seventeen investment vehicles
(the "Funds"). For a description of each Fund, see Note A to the accompanying
Funds' financial statement.
Pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act, the Trust has elected
to register an indefinite number of shares. The Trust commenced operations on
April 19, 1993.
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.
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 if the Portfolios continue to comply
with such requirements.
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.
As of March 31, 1997, Emerging Growth Advisory Portfolio, Balanced Growth
Advisory Portfolio, and Worldwide Growth Advisory Portfolio had available for
Federal tax purposes $29,838, $4,169, and $14,260, respectively, of unused
capital loss carryovers which expire through 2005.
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 describes 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
66
<PAGE>
NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 (the distributor), an affiliate of Nicholas-Applegate
Capital Management, is compensated at an annual rate of 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 compensate the Investment
Adviser for co-administrative services at an annual rate of up to 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. The Investment Adviser has agreed to waive these fees if the
related Portfolio's expenses before reimbursement is greater than the expense
limitation. In subsequent years, each Portfolio will reimburse the Investment
Adviser, up to actual cost, when operating expenses before reimbursement are
less than the applicable expense limitation.
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
years, overall operating expenses for each Portfolio will not fall below the
applicable percentage limitation until the Investment Adviser has been fully
reimbursed for fees foregone and expenses paid by the Investment Adviser under
this agreement, as each Portfolio will reimburse the Investment Adviser in
subsequent years when operating expenses (before reimbursement) are less than
the applicable percentage limitation.

4. CREDIT FACILITY
The Portfolios participate with other Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds
portfolios in a $75 million unsecured redemption credit facility ("Facility") to
be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of
redemptions. In connection therewith, the Portfolios have agreed to pay
commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to

NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO THE FUNDS' 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 seventeen investment vehicles (each a "Fund" and collectively
the "Funds") as of March 31, 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 a diversified portfolio of common stocks of U.S.
corporations with smaller market capitalizations.
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.
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 (formerly International 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
securities) or the mean between the last bid and asked price (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.

NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO THE FUNDS' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities transactions are recognized on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses from securities transactions are calculated using the first-in, first-out
method. Dividend income (net of foreign taxes withheld when applicable) is
recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over
the life of the respective securities.
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 Funds 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 annual percentages of each Fund's average daily net assets:

EXPENSE LIMITATIONS
Nicholas-Applegate and the Master Trust have undertaken to limit the Funds'
and Portfolios' 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 and 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. MARKET AND CREDIT RISK 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.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE MUTUAL FUNDS
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
Mini Cap Growth Institutional Portfolio and series of Advisory (formerly
Qualified) Portfolios of Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds (comprising
respectively, Emerging Growth Advisory Portfolio, Core Growth Advisory
Portfolio, Income and Growth Advisory Portfolio, Balanced Growth Advisory
Portfolio, Government Income Advisory Portfolio, Emerging Countries Advisory
Portfolio, International Small Cap Growth (formerly "International Growth")
Advisory Portfolio, International Core Growth Advisory Portfolio, and Worldwide
Growth Advisory Portfolio) (hereinafter the "Portfolios"), as of March 31, 1997,
and the related statements of operations for the fiscal year then ended, and the
statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the
two fiscal years in the period then ended, except for International Core Growth
Advisory Portfolio which is for the fiscal year then ended. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolios'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial
highlights for each of the two fiscal years in the period ended March 31, 1995
were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 12, 1995 expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and the 1996 and 1997 financial
highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Mini Cap Growth Institutional Portfolio and of each of
the respective series of Advisory Portfolios of Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds
as of March 31, 1997, the results of their operations for the fiscal year then
ended, and changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of
the two fiscal years in the period then ended, as described in the first
paragraph, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 1997, by correspondence with
the custodians and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Funds of
Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust as of March 31, 1997, the results of their
operations for the fiscal year then ended, and changes in their net assets for
each of the two fiscal years in the period then ended, as described in the first
paragraph, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
