OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL Aggressive Growth Series is a non-diversified Series that seeks as its
investment objective long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in
common stocks of issuers of any size, including larger, well-established
companies and smaller, emerging growth companies.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
Domestic financial markets were volatile during the period from April 1, 1996
through December 31, 1996. The volatility reflected the genuine debate over the
rate of economic growth. Stocks remained remarkably resilient during the second
quarter of 1996, although the performance in certain sectors, such as small
stocks and technology, was mixed. The equity markets dropped in July, but
recovered and launched yet another record-setting rally which lasted through the
remainder of the period. Large stocks recovered quickly during the rally, while
smaller stocks continued to languish.
 
The basic investment strategy for the Series is to find individual companies
that exhibit earnings growth potential that may not yet be fully recognized by
the market. We will develop industry themes when market conditions create new
opportunities in certain industries or sectors; however, portfolio construction
is still based on Janus' fundamental, bottom up research. Technology was an
important theme in the Series' portfolio and we benefited from good moves in
many of our technology holdings at the beginning of the period. The July
downdraft hit technology stocks and companies with small- to mid-sized market
capitalization hardest, but the Series overcame early losses in the September
run-up. During the fourth quarter of the year, the Series' large stocks
performed well while small- and mid-cap holdings inhibited performance.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series out-performing
the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a widely used indicator of stock market
trends. The Series' performance was positively impacted by its technology
holdings at the beginning of the period and its large stock holdings during the
fourth quarter.
 
We remain very excited about the Series' individual holdings and we expect to
continue the strategies we have employed in the past by taking advantage of
 
favorable buying opportunities as they are presented.

OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL Capital Growth Series is a non-diversified Series that seeks as its
investment objective long-term growth of capital by emphasizing investments in
common stocks of medium-sized companies. Although the Series expects to
emphasize such securities, it may also invest in smaller or larger companies.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The market was volatile during the period from April 1, 1996 through December
31, 1996. Interest rates rose moderately in the second quarter of 1996,
pressuring equity valuations. This resulted in increased volatility, especially
in small stocks. The equities market dropped in July and companies with small-
and mid-sized market capitalizations were subject to indiscriminate selling.
Large stocks rebounded in August and September, while the small- and mid-cap
sectors staged a moderate comeback that intensified at the end of September and
carried into early October. During the fourth quarter of the year, large stocks
continued to outperform smaller stocks.
 
The investment strategy for the Series is to find individual companies which
exhibit growth potential that may not yet be fully recognized by the market. We
look at individual opportunities, and take advantage of the Series' policy that
allows a concentrated investment approach when appropriate. The Series holds
positions in a broad spectrum of industries, including wireless communication
companies. While the fundamentals of the companies have not changed or have even
improved, they were generally out of sync with market psychology, which weighed
heavily on their respective performances. Additionally, a narrow earnings miss
by an industrial supply company hurt performance early in the fourth quarter.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the S&P 500 Index and the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a widely
used indicator of stock market trends and the S&P MidCap 400 Index is a widely
used indicator of mid-cap trends. The Series has begun comparing its performance
to the S&P MidCap 400 Index because this Index represents a more appropriate
benchmark for the Series. The Series' performance was positively impacted by
strong performances of individual stocks.
 
The low valuations in the mid-cap sector offer a number of attractive buying
opportunities, as small- to mid-cap stocks have lagged their larger
counterparts. We expect to continue the strategies that we have employed in the
past by selecting stocks one at a time, and we firmly believe that the Series'
 
most exciting growth lies ahead.

[JANUS LOGO]                  HELEN YOUNG HAYES
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL Global Equities Series seeks as its investment objective long-term growth of
capital by investing primarily in common stocks of foreign and domestic issuers
of any size. This Series normally invests in issuers from at least five
different countries including the United States.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The economic backdrop in the United States was mixed during the period from
April 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996. Several indicators argued for increased
momentum in the rate of economic growth during the second quarter of 1996,
however, inflation remained in check. Domestic equity markets performed well
during the third quarter, despite a rocky start in July. The U.S. stock markets
experienced a strong fourth quarter rally, with larger, more well-established
stocks leading the way. A number of European markets rallied with the domestic
markets in September, when economic data suggested that the U.S. economy was
slowing. Although most foreign markets failed to keep pace with the U.S., many
posted healthy gains and some set a number of individual records during the
fourth quarter.
 
The basic strategy for this Series is to find individual companies that exhibit
earnings growth potential that may not yet be fully recognized by the market on
a worldwide basis. The Series was well-diversified across a broad range of
stocks and countries throughout the period, with a majority of assets in both
Europe and the U.S. The percentage held domestically was reduced significantly
while the percentage of foreign stocks increased during the second quarter of
1996 as we uncovered companies with strong earnings growth potential around the
world.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI") World Index. The MSCI World
Index is a widely used indicator of worldwide market trends. The Series'
performance was positively impacted by strong performances in a number of
holdings, both domestically and abroad.
 
We expect to continue the strategies we have employed in the past using
intensive research, attention to detail and sound investment judgment. Foreign
markets are less efficient, and therefore more favorable to security selection.
By utilizing our dedicated research staff to uncover companies with strong
earnings growth potential around the world, the Series' portfolio should
continue to benefit from global investing.

                            FRED ALGER MANAGEMENT, INC.
[FRED ALGER LOGO]               DAVID D. ALGER
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL/Alger Growth Series seeks as its investment objective long-term capital
appreciation by investing in a diversified, actively managed portfolio of equity
securities, primarily of companies with total market capitalization of $1
billion or greater.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The period from April 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996 proved to be an interesting
and turbulent time in the market. In a sense, these past nine months have been
almost a cycle. We began 1996 with the assumption that the economy was
exceedingly weak, went through a period from mid-March to late October during
which the popular view was that the economy was too strong, and then moved back
in the direction to close the year where we began it.
 
The economic uncertainty which existed throughout most of the period resulted in
defensive positioning of investors. As a result, there was a flight to blue-chip
stocks. Therefore, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index
enjoyed very strong years. The performance of the S&P 500 was primarily driven
by a handful of blue-chip type stocks noted for stable and predictable earnings
growth. The portfolio typically invests in stocks of companies that are expected
to grow their earnings at a faster rate (25% and above). Thus, the portfolio did
not perform as well as funds largely investing in blue-chip companies or broad
market indices. In addition, many of the growth stocks the Series invested in
were hit more severely during the sell off in July and recovered less
impressively.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series underperforming
the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a widely used indicator of stock market
trends. Although there were shifts within the Series' portfolio, our strategy
remained consistent, emphasizing the individual selection of quality growth
stocks through in-depth, internal research conducted by talented analysts. At no
time during this period did we stray from the philosophy and process that have
driven our long term success as an investment manager.
 
The good news is that we feel that the factors which have contributed to our
recent performance are now behind us, setting the stage for a strong rebound in
1997. We continue to maintain that economic growth is not overly robust. Factors
which support our belief include a recent drop in the price of gold, the rising
dollar and slowing corporate profits. We contend that the stock market continues
to be undervalued relative to the bond market. Furthermore, we feel that growth
stocks are undervalued relative to the rest of the stock market. Currently, good
quality growth stocks, which typically trade in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 times
the market multiple, are trading at 1.1 times based on our 1997 estimated
earnings per share: below the low-end of the historical range. In other words,
investors are paying only a very small premium for quality growth stocks, such
as those in the Series' portfolio. As it becomes clearer in the months ahead
that the economy is expanding at a noninflationary, steady pace, we expect that
investor confidence will rebound and premiums for growth stocks will expand.
 
This should translate into strong performance for the Series.

EAGLE LOGO             TEAM MANAGEMENT
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL/Eagle Core Equity Series seeks as its investment objective long-term capital
appreciation and, secondarily, current income by investing primarily in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks which the sub-adviser believes offers
above-average potential for long-term capital appreciation. The investment
strategies which the sub-adviser utilizes to pursue the Series' objective are
the growth equity strategy, the value equity strategy and the equity income
strategy. In pursuing the growth equity strategy, the sub-adviser will invest in
securities which it believes have sufficient growth potential to offer
above-average long-term capital appreciation. In pursuing the value equity
strategy, the sub-adviser will invest in securities which it believes indicate
above-average financial soundness and high intrinsic value relative to price. In
pursuing the equity income strategy, the sub-adviser will invest in income
producing securities.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The Series commenced operations on September 16, 1996. Volatility marked the
period from commencement of operations to December 31, 1996, with stocks overall
having strong performance for the final three months of the year. Value stocks
were some of the best performers. Growth stocks provided slightly lower returns
in response to the uncertain economic climate going forward. Stock market
valuations were high by historical standards but many positive elements for
capital appreciation were in place.
 
Our strategy for the Series combines three investment styles: 40% growth equity,
40% value equity and 20% equity income. During the period, as could be expected,
the three portions of the Series performed differently. The growth equity
portion of the Series' portfolio performed well but not quite as well as the
overall market because growth stocks as a sector were not as widely purchased as
value stocks. Cyclicals and oil stocks were two of the best performing
industries for the last three months of 1996. The growth equity portion of the
Series' portfolio was underweighted in these sectors as most stocks in these
industries did not meet our growth criteria. The value equity portion of the
Series was invested slower than the other two parts. The stock market had such a
strong run in the past two years that undervalued issues were more difficult to
locate. We bought many tobacco, oil and telephone utility stocks during the
quarter. The equity income portion of the Series was the most conservative of
the three sections, however it performed the best during the fourth quarter.
Position sizes were increased, and we added some new holdings. The new holdings
included a diverse group of real estate investment trusts, utilities and stocks
of pharmaceutical, basic materials, processed food, electronics and oil
companies. We also purchased some convertible bonds.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series underperforming
the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a widely used indicator of stock market
trends.
 
Stock market valuations are high by historical standards but many positive
elements for continued capital appreciation in stocks are in place. For
instance, growth is modest and stable, interest rates are reasonable compared to
the last decade, corporate earnings continue to increase strongly, and inflation
is low. Given the variety of investment styles within the Series, the portfolio
is positioned to perform well in most economic environments that can be
reasonable envisioned.

OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL/Eagle SmallCap Equity Series seeks as its investment objective long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of smaller
companies which the sub-adviser believes offer potential for rapid growth.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The Series commenced operations on September 16, 1996. Volatility marked the
period from commencement of operations to December 31, 1996, with stocks overall
having strong performance for the final three months of the year. Small company
stocks as a sector did not perform as well as larger companies. Value stocks
were some of the best performers and growth stocks provided slightly lower
returns. Stock market valuations were high by historical standards but many
positive elements for capital appreciation were in place. Small company stocks
were reasonably valued relative to larger cap stocks and to the economic
conditions.
 
The Series invests in securities of companies that appear to be undervalued in
relation to their long-term earning power or the asset value of their issuers
and that have significant further growth potential. We perform extensive
research before investing in a company and focus the Series' assets in rapidly
growing companies that are undervalued companies. During the period, we selected
approximately 30 stocks for the Series. We focused on individual companies
rather than industry sectors, but the Series' holdings represented a wide
diversification of sectors.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the Russell 2000 Index. The Russell 2000 Index is a widely used indicator of the
stock market performance of small companies. The Series' performance was
positively impacted by individual security selection that we believe is a result
of our fundamental research.
 
We believe that small company stocks are undervalued and that in the upcoming
year they will continue to provide a good opportunity in the United States
capital markets for capital appreciation. We expect to continue our strategy of
fundamental research and individual security selection.

OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth Series seeks as its investment objective
reasonable income, long-term capital growth and preservation of capital. It is
intended that this Series will invest in common stocks and fixed income
securities, with emphasis on income-producing securities which appear to have
some potential for capital enhancement.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The stock market had a turbulent time during the period from April 1, 1996 to
December 31, 1996. While stocks of companies with small- and mid-sized market
capitalizations were strong performers in the first half of the year, stocks of
companies with large-sized market capitalizations dominated during the second
half. Interest rates also oscillated during the period. Interest rates rose
during the second quarter of 1996, then became locked in a trading range during
the third quarter.
 
In selecting investments for the Series' portfolio, we emphasized theme
development and stock selection. We allocated the Series' assets fairly
consistently throughout the period, keeping a strong preference for stocks. The
equity portion of the Series' portfolio was characterized by above-average
growth characteristics. The fixed income portion of the Series' portfolio was
invested predominately in U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series underperforming
the S&P 500 Index and outperforming the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.
The S&P 500 Index is a widely used indicator of stock market trends. The Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an indicator of bond trends. The Series'
performance was negatively impacted on the equity side by stock selection and
positively impacted on the fixed income side by portfolio duration.
 
We anticipate moderate economic growth domestically and stronger than expected
global growth. We also anticipate that interest rates will remain fairly stable
but vulnerable to periodic strong economic news. We expect to employ strategies
which focus on the earnings growth found in technology, healthcare and financial
stocks.

OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth Series seeks as its investment objective
long-term appreciation of capital. Since income is not an objective, any income
generated by the investment of this Series' assets will be incidental to its
objectives. It is intended that this Series will invest primarily in the common
stocks of companies believed by the sub-adviser to have appreciation potential.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The stock market had a turbulent time during the period from April 1, 1996 to
December 31, 1996. The third quarter of 1996 was a rollercoaster ride for the
stock market. The S&P 500 Index started the quarter with a strong correction and
ended with an even stronger rally. The swings in the over-the-counter stock
market were even wider. The recovery rally was led by technology and healthcare
stocks. Financial stocks continued to show strength in both the correction and
rally phases. While stocks of companies with small- and mid-sized market
capitalization were strong performers in the first half of the year, stocks of
companies with large-sized market capitalizations dominated during the second
half.
 
At the beginning of the period, the Series benefited most from holdings in three
areas: energy, healthcare and retail stocks. We decreased the risk posture in
the Series' portfolio during the second and third quarters of 1996 to protect
against a difficult environment and to lock in gains from the first part of the
year. Technology and healthcare stocks provided stronger returns during the
third quarter of the year, while energy stocks lagged. As the period drew to a
close, we increased the Series' concentration in large capitalization stocks
with strong visible earnings growth. We also increased technology, healthcare
and financial holdings.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a widely used indicator of stock market
trends. The Series' performance was positively impacted by the energy,
technology and healthcare stocks it held and was further enhanced by good stock
selection.
 
We anticipate moderate economic growth domestically and stronger than expected
global growth. We also anticipate that interest rates will remain fairly stable
but vulnerable to periodic strong economic news. We expect to employ strategies
which focus on the earnings growth found in technology, healthcare and financial
stocks.

OBJECTIVE:
 
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Series seeks as its primary investment objective
a high level of current income. Its secondary investment objective is capital
appreciation with an emphasis on higher-yielding, higher-risk, lower-rated or
unrated corporate bonds.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The high yield market outperformed all other domestic fixed income sectors
during the last six months of 1996. Comparatively low interest rate sensitivity
enabled high yield bonds to significantly outperform investment grade-rated
corporate bonds. The high yield market also significantly outperformed
governments, agencies, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. However,
during the fourth quarter of 1996, total return performance broken down by
credit quality was a reversal of the trend experienced during the first three
quarters of the year, with the highest-rated credit quality sectors
outperforming the lowest-rated quality sectors.
 
The Series' industry and quality weightings remained relatively constant during
the first part of the period. The Series maintained its overweighting of B-rated
credits, as well as securities in the basic industry and capital goods sectors.
During the fourth quarter of the year, the Series' exposure to B-rated credits
was further increased at the expense of credits rated in the Ba category,
reflecting our strategy to capture additional yield from lower-rated credits.
Additionally, the Series' exposure to cyclical and financial industry securities
was reduced moderately, while its exposure to consumer noncyclical, technology
and telecommunications sectors was increased.
 
The strategies and techniques applied resulted in the Series underperforming the
Lehman Brothers High Yield Index. The Lehman Brothers High Yield Index is a
widely used indicator of high yield bond performance. The Series' performance
was negatively impacted by security selection.
 
Over the intermediate term, we expect the high yield market will continue to
perform well, reflecting solid market fundamentals as well as strong demand for
the securities. We plan to continue our strategy of searching out opportunities
in the high yield market which offer potential capital appreciation over the
short to intermediate term.

[PPM-AMER LOGO]                TEAM MANAGEMENT
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
PPM America/JNL Value Equity Series seeks as its investment objective a high
total return by investing in common stocks which the sub-adviser believes to be
undervalued relative to the stock market in general at the time of purchase.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The United States equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, was volatile
during the period from April 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996. The equity markets
were strong during the second quarter of 1996, but suffered a minor correction
in July. They roared back in August and September and continued to surge until
the end of the period. A benign interest rate environment and strong corporate
earnings were key factors in the market's rally. The equity markets were very
expensive relative to historic norms during the period and traditional valuation
indicators suggested that the risk/reward trade-off for the overall equity
markets was not particularly attractive at current market levels.
 
The stock selection philosophy that guides our management of the Series is
relative valuation based and we attempt to identify relatively attractively
priced sectors and securities. The Series is overweighted relative to the
overall market in the finance, electric utilities, telecommunications and
transportation sectors because, in our view, these sectors are attractively
priced.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a widely used indicator of stock market
trends. The Series' performance was positively impacted by the Series' positions
in the finance sector and by several individual portfolio holdings.
 
The United States equity market currently looks very expensive relative to
historic norms. We expect to continue the strategies we have employed in the
past by emphasizing sectors and securities which offer potentially above average
dividend yields at attractive valuations.

SALOMON BROTHERS/JNL GLOBAL BOND SERIES
SALOMON BROTHERS ASSET MANAGEMENT INC
STEVEN GUTERMAN
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Series seeks as its investment objective a high
level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Series will seek capital
appreciation. The Series seeks to achieve its objectives by investing in a
globally diverse portfolio of fixed income investments and by giving the
sub-adviser broad discretion to deploy the Series' assets among certain segments
of the fixed income market that the sub-adviser believes will best contribute to
achievement of the Series' investment objectives. In pursuing its investment
objectives, the Series reserves the right to invest predominantly in securities
rated in medium or lower rating categories or as determined by the sub-adviser
to be of comparable quality. Although the Series has the ability to invest up to
100% of the Series' assets in lower-rated securities, the Series' sub-adviser
does not anticipate investing in excess of 75% of the Series' assets in such
securities.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The emerging market sector was strong during the period from April 1, 1996 to
December 31, 1996, as countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela
bought back Brady Bonds from the marketplace. The sector was viewed so
positively that both Argentina and Mexico were able to issue billions of
unsecured U. S. dollar denominated debt to the global investor community at
record low yields. High yield corporate debt also posted strong gains. The
investment grade sector was positioned defensively throughout most of the period
but had its best quarter of the year in the fourth quarter.
 
In response to the positive outlook for the emerging markets sector and the
overall performance of high yield debt securities, the Series purchased and
maintained emerging markets and high yield debt securities throughout the
period. The Series' holdings in U.S. investment grade securities remained
relatively unchanged throughout the period. We diversified the Series holdings
in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in response to falling budget debts
globally.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the Salomon Brothers Broad Investment Grade Index. The Salomon Brothers Broad
Investment Grade Index is a widely used indicator of investment grade bond
trends. The Series' performance was positively impacted by its investments in
emerging markets securities and high yield securities.
 
We anticipate that the emerging markets and high yield bond sectors will
continue to perform well. We expect to continue the strategies we have employed
in the past by maintaining the Series' positions in these sectors.

SALOMON BROTHERS/JNL U.S. GOVERNMENT & QUALITY BOND SERIES
SALOMON BROTHERS ASSET MANAGEMENT INC
STEVEN GUTERMAN
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Series seeks as its
investment objective a high level of current income, by investing primarily in
debt obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities including collateralized mortgage
obligations backed by such securities. The Series may also invest a portion of
its assets in investment-grade bonds.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
In general, the performance of the U.S. Government bond market and the Salomon
Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Series was hindered by the dramatic
rise in interest rates during the first half of 1996. Although a rally occurred
in the fourth quarter as inflation remained in check while economic indicators
signaled moderate growth, it was not enough to overcome the dramatic rise in
rates during the first half of 1996.
 
For most of the year, the Series maintained a neutral duration strategy in
anticipation of higher yields. This defensive strategy was taken in response to
reports of stronger economic growth (e.g. strong job growth and increases in
consumption and housing activity). Market participants also focused on stronger
than expected rises in average hourly earnings which led to concerns that
inflationary pressures could develop and influence the Federal Reserve to hike
short term rates.
 
The Series also had an overweight allocation to the mortgage pass-through sector
versus its benchmark. Mortgage pass-through securities performed strongly in
1996 as higher interest rates reduced the incentive for homeowners to refinance
their mortgages.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series underperforming
the Salomon Brothers Treasury Index. The Salomon Brothers Treasury Index is a
widely used indicator of treasury bond trends.
 
Bonds are likely to experience volatility early in 1997 as investors sort out
the implications of stronger growth. We do not expect Fed action in the first
several months of 1997. Given our optimistic view of inflation, we believe
interest rates will move modestly lower during the year.

OBJECTIVE:
 
T. Rowe Price/JNL Established Growth Series seeks as its investment objective
long-term growth of capital and increasing dividend income through investment
primarily in common stocks of well-established growth companies.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The period from April 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996, was terrific for common
stock investors. The economy was characterized by low interest rates, low
inflation, positive economic growth, and rising corporate profits. While the
third quarter of 1996 started off with a sell-off in the stock market triggered
by worries of higher interest rates, the market came roaring back in September
as rate fears eased. International markets generally were up less than United
States markets in nominal terms plus they were penalized by a strong dollar
against most major currencies.
 
Financial stocks were a featured part of the Series' portfolio. The financial
sector was characterized by low relative valuation and dependable earnings
growth. Other favorable trends in this sector included consolidation,
deregulation, increasing returns on invested capital, and shareholder-oriented
financial engineering. We increased the Series' exposure to technology
securities early in the third quarter of 1996 but eliminated technology stocks
that no longer had dominant market positions toward the end of the period.
Technology stocks rebounded sharply in the last half of the third quarter, but
overall lagged the market. In response to the strong relative performance of the
healthcare sector combined with a sense of foreboding regarding the possible
resurrection of healthcare reform initiatives, we began a process of selectively
reducing our exposure to healthcare stocks. Foreign investing helped the Series'
overall performance during the first part of the period. European stocks, the
bulk of the Series' foreign exposure, generated solid returns even after
deducting the effect of a stronger dollar.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a widely used indicator of stock market
trends. The Series' performance was positively impacted by its holdings in both
domestic and foreign stocks.
 
We anticipate continued slow economic growth domestically and we are also
optimistic about foreign markets. We expect to continue the strategies we have
employed in the past and will continue to seek attractive investments in the
upcoming years.

OBJECTIVE:
 
T. Rowe Price/JNL International Equity Investment Series seeks as its investment
objective long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in common
stocks of established, non-U.S. companies.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
International markets turned in mixed performances during the period from April
1, 1996 to December 31, 1996; however, most world stock markets finished 1996
just like they began the year - on a strong and positive note. The trends put in
place early in the year remained unchanged with United States equities again
leading the charge while the international markets followed to varying degrees.
European markets did the best job keeping pace with the United States markets,
the markets of Asia and Latin America turned in a mixed performance but did have
their winners, and Japan continued its protracted slide and produced another
lackluster year.
 
The emphasis on holdings in the Series' portfolio was biased toward the fast
growing economics of the Pacific and Latin Americas at the expense of Japan. The
Series' holdings in the European markets favored the Netherlands, France and
Norway over the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland. We emphasized holdings
of reasonably-valued growth-oriented companies and our trading throughout the
period was modest.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the Morgan Stanley Europe and Australasia, Far East Equity ("E.A.FE.") Index.
The Morgan Stanley E.A.FE. Index is a widely used indicator of international
market trends. The Series' performance was positively impacted by the country
posture of the Series' portfolio and individual stock selections.
 
We anticipate low interest rates, accelerating earnings growth, reasonable
valuations and a greater awareness of shareholder value in international markets
in the upcoming year. We expect to continue the strategies we have employed in
the past by purchasing good growth companies at reasonable valuations.

[T.ROWE PRICE LOGO]           BRIAN W. BERGHUIS
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Series seeks as its investment objective
long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in the common stock of
companies with medium-sized market capitalizations ("mid-cap") and the potential
for above average growth.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The stock market enjoyed another vintage period from April 1, 1996 to December
31, 1996. In spite of rising interest rates, the stock market turned in a strong
performance in the second quarter of 1996. The sharp stock market correction in
late June and early July was followed by another strong performance during the
remainder of the period. Throughout the period, mid-cap stocks lagged behind
stocks of companies with large-sized market capitalizations.
 
The Series held securities from a broad range of sectors. The best performing
groups were energy stocks, benefiting from higher natural gas prices and rising
demand, and financial stocks, reflecting a reasonably steady interest rate
environment. Technology stocks were mixed throughout the period.
 
The strategies and techniques we applied resulted in the Series outperforming
the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is a widely used indicator of
mid-cap market trends. The Series' performance was positively impacted by its
holdings in energy and financial stocks.
 
We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for mid-cap growth companies.
We expect to continue the strategies we have employed in the past by seeking
companies with high growth rates and low average price/earnings ratios.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
JNL Series Trust
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations
and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the JNL Aggressive Growth Series,
JNL Capital Growth Series, JNL Global Equities Series, JNL/Alger Growth Series,
JNL/Eagle Core Equity Series, JNL/Eagle SmallCap Equity Series, JNL/Phoenix
Investment Counsel Balanced Series, JNL/Phoenix Investment Counsel Growth

Price/JNL Established Growth Series, T. Rowe Price/JNL International Equity
Investment Series and T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Series (constituting JNL
Series Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at December 31, 1996, and
the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets and
the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1996 by
correspondence with the custodians and brokers and the application of
alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not
received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
 
     JNL Series Trust ("Trust") is an open-end management investment company
organized under the laws of Massachusetts, by a Declaration of Trust, dated June
1, 1994. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust currently offers shares in
sixteen (16) separate Series, each with its own investment objective. The shares
of the Trust are sold primarily to life insurance company separate accounts to
fund the benefits of variable annuity policies.
 
     The Trust is composed of the following Series: JNL Aggressive Growth, JNL
Capital Growth and JNL Global Equities for which Janus Capital Corporation
serves as the sub-advisor; JNL/Alger Growth for which Fred Alger Management,
Inc. serves as the sub-advisor; JNL/Eagle Core Equity and JNL/Eagle SmallCap

sub-advisory consulting agreement with its London based affiliate, Salomon
Brothers Asset Management Limited pursuant to which it will provide certain
sub-advisory services to Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc relating to
currency transactions and investments in non-dollar denominated debt securities
for the benefit of the Series. Jackson National Financial Services, Inc.

("Jackson National"), serves as investment advisor ("Advisor") for all the
Series of the Trust. PPM America, Inc. is an affiliate of the Advisor. Shares
are presently offered only to Jackson National and its separate account. As of
December 31, 1996, Jackson National's investment in the Trust totaled
$45,710,487.
 
     The costs associated with the organization of the Trust and certain other
initial period costs have been borne by Jackson National.
 
     Effective December 31, 1996, the Trust changed its fiscal year end to
December 31.
 
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
     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 reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during
the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     SECURITY VALUATION -- Bonds are valued on the basis of prices furnished by
a service which determines prices for normal institutional size trading units of
bonds, without regard to exchange or over-the-counter prices. When quotations
are not readily available, bonds are valued at fair market value determined by
procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Stocks listed on a national or
foreign stock exchange are valued at the final sale price, or final bid price in
absence of a sale. Stocks not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange are
valued at the closing bid price on the over-the-counter market. Short-term
securities maturing within 60 days of purchase, and all securities in the PPM
America/JNL Money Market Series, are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), which are
certificates representing shares of foreign securities deposited in domestic and
foreign banks, are traded and valued in U.S. dollars.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                JNL SERIES TRUST
 
                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are
accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, including level-yield amortization of
discounts and premiums, is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses are
determined on the specific identification basis, which is the same basis used
for federal income tax purposes.
 
     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- The accounting records of the Trust are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars
using exchange rates in effect at the close of the New York Stock Exchange.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, income receipts, and expense
payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing on
the respective dates of such transactions.
 
     Realized gains and losses arising from selling foreign currencies and
certain non-dollar denominated fixed income securities, entering into forward
foreign currency exchange contracts, and accruing income or settling portfolio
purchases and sales denominated in a foreign currency paid or received at a
later date are recorded as net realized foreign currency related gains (losses)
and are considered ordinary income for tax purposes. Realized and unrealized
gains and losses on investments which result from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates are primarily included in net realized gains (losses) on
investments and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments,
respectively.
 
     FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- Some of the Series may enter into foreign
currency contracts ("contracts"), generally to hedge foreign currency exposure
between trade date and settlement date on security purchases and sales ("spot
hedges") or to minimize foreign currency risk on portfolio securities
denominated in foreign currencies ("position hedges"). All contracts are valued
at the forward currency exchange rate and are marked-to-market daily. When the
contract is open, the change in market value is recorded as net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency related items. When the contract
is closed, the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was
opened and the value at the time it was closed is recorded as net realized gain
(loss) on foreign currency related items.
 
     The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate
fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Series' portfolio securities, but
it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.
Although contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the
hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the
value of the currency increase. Additionally, the Series could be exposed to the
risk of a previously hedged position becoming unhedged if the counterparties to
the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. See Note 7 for a
listing of open forward foreign currency exchange contracts as of December 31,
1996.
 
     WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS -- The Series may purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. On the trade date, the
Series record purchases of when-issued securities and reflects the values of
such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other
portfolio securities. Income is not accrued until settlement date.
 
     UNREGISTERED SECURITIES -- Some of the Series own certain investment
securities which are unregistered and thus restricted to resale. These
securities are valued by the Series after giving due consideration to pertinent
factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer's
financial performance. Where future dispositions of the securities require
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, the Series have the right to
include their securities in such registration generally without cost to the
Series. The Series have no right to require registration of unregistered
securities. Unregistered and other illiquid securities are limited to 15% (10%
in the case of PPM America/JNL Money Market Series and the JNL/Alger Growth
Series) of the net assets of a Series.
 
     OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS -- Some of the Series may write covered call options
on portfolio securities. The risk in writing a call option is that the Series
gives up the opportunity of profit if the market price of the security
increases. Option contracts are valued at the closing prices on their exchanges
and the Series will realize a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the
option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a
written call option are adjusted by the amount of premium received.
 
     DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS -- The Salomon Brothers/ JNL Global Bond Series 
and the Salomon Brothers/JNL
 
                                       31

                                JNL SERIES TRUST
 
                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
U.S. Government & Quality Bond Series entered into dollar roll transactions with
respect to mortgage securities in which the Series sells mortgage securities and
simultaneously agrees to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity)
securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. During the period between
the sale and repurchase, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the
mortgage securities sold. The Series is compensated by the interest earned on
the cash proceeds of the initial sale and from negotiated fees paid by brokers
offered as an inducement to the Series to "roll over" its purchase commitments.
 
     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Certain Series in the Trust may invest in
repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement involves the purchase of a
security by a Series and a simultaneous agreement (generally by a bank or
broker-dealer) to repurchase that security back from the Series at a specified
price and date or upon demand. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the Series custodian bank until the maturity of the
repurchase agreement. Procedures for all repurchase agreements have been
designed to assure that the daily market value of the collateral is in excess of
the repurchase agreement in the event of default.
 
     DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- The PPM America/JNL Money Market Series
declares dividends daily and pays dividends monthly. For all other Series,
dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually, but may be
done more frequently to avoid excise tax. Distributions of net realized capital
gains, if any, will be distributed annually. All income, dividends, and capital
gains distributions, if any, on Series shares are reinvested automatically in
additional shares of the Series at the net asset value determined on the first
business day following the record date, unless otherwise requested by the
shareholder.
 
     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Trust's policy is to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute income in amounts that will avoid federal income or
excise taxes for each Series. The Trust may periodically make reclassifications
among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the recognition and
characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions determined
annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
     JNFSI is the investment advisor of each Series and provides each Series
with professional investment supervision and management. JNFSI provides
accounting services, preparation of financial statements, tax services and
regulatory reports to the Trust. In addition to providing the services described
above, JNFSI selects, contracts with, and compensates sub-advisors to manage the
investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Trust.
 
     As compensation for its services, JNFSI receives a fee from each Series.
The fees, which are accrued daily and payable monthly, are calculated on the
basis of the average daily net assets of each Series. Once the average net
assets of a Series exceed specified amounts, the fee is reduced with respect to
such excess. The following is a schedule of the fees each Series is currently
obligated to pay JNFSI.

     Currently, the Advisor reimburses each of the Series for annual expenses
(excluding the investment advisory fee) prior to fees paid indirectly in excess
of .15 % of average daily net assets. These voluntary reimbursements may be
modified or discontinued by the Advisor at any time.
 
     During the period ended December 31, 1996, the Series earned credits on
uninvested cash balances held by certain Series at the custodian. These credits
were used to reduce custodian expenses. Of the credits for the JNL/Alger Growth
Series, $10,114 was used to reduce expenses and the remaining $58,958 in credits
are included in interest income.

                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 6. FOREIGN SECURITIES
 
     Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments
involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with
investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include
revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign
governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile
than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.
 
NOTE 7. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
 
     At December 31, 1996, the following Series had entered into "position
hedge" forward foreign currency exchange contracts that obligate the Series to
