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:
 
As the year began, the JNL Aggressive Growth Series had significant holdings in
the business service sector, particularly in credit card processors First Data,
First USA Paymentech and National Processing. Increased competition brought
lower pricing, causing disappointing earnings for the group this year.
Therefore, we sold these positions. In the technology area, we trimmed our
position in Parametric Technology due to the uncertainty in Asia.
 
During the year, we added several positions in the oil and gas service industry.
Although oil and natural gas prices declined in 1997 from the 1996 highs,
production volumes continued to show robust growth. Against this backdrop, the
oil and gas service industry has enjoyed strong demand from the exploration and
production sector. For example, Schlumberger, with its differentiated service
portfolio, has enabled its customers to meaningfully lower delivery costs while
capturing a fair share of its value added.
 
The Series also held an assortment of high-quality life sciences companies that
performed well, including Monsanto and Warner-Lambert. Monsanto is in the midst
of restructuring to refocus itself on higher-margin pharmaceuticals and
agri-biotech products. Warner-Lambert enjoyed a terrific year due to strong
sales from its two new drugs: Lipitor, for cholesterol reduction, and Rezulin,
for diabetes. Towards year end, Rezulin suffered a setback when the FDA mandated
increased tests for the elevation of liver enzymes. But the stock has bounced
back because strong sales indicate that Rezulin offers much higher quality of
life benefits, which vastly outweigh the negatives associated with increased
enzyme testing.
 
For the year, the Series gained 12.67% versus a gain of 33.35% for its
benchmark, the S&P 500 Index*. Despite the market's strong advance this year,
various market dynamics created a difficult environment for the Series. During
the first half of 1997, liquidity-driven flows into the large, mega-caps of the
S&P 500 Index pushed the market to new highs. In this environment, small and
midsize stocks severely underperformed their larger counterparts. During this
period, the Series' limited exposure to the mega-caps coupled with its larger
exposure to small and midsize positions held back performance. In the second
half of the year, as the market's advance became more broadly based, the Series
regained momentum and began to close its performance gap with the Index.
However, global volatility and some mild individual disappointments in the
fourth quarter kept the Series from ultimately closing this gap.
 
As we enter 1998, we believe the Series is well positioned to exploit a number
of compelling stories. In the life sciences area, we believe that Monsanto and
Warner-Lambert are poised to recapture some of the performance lost at the end
of 1997, as the strength of their pipelines and new products gains focus. We
have added to the Series' holdings in several other high-quality pharmaceutical
companies including Eli Lilly and Pfizer. In technology, we remain positive on
the Series' holdings and feel a number of the Series' positions may have
overcompensated for the likely slowing of demand from Asia. Finally, we have
added several holdings in the cable television industry, where we believe
improving cash flows and exciting new service offerings offer better financial
returns.

                                 JNL CAPITAL GROWTH SERIES
                                 JANUS CAPITAL CORPORATION
[JANUS LOGO]                     JAMES P. GOFF
 
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:
 
As the year began, small and midsize stocks came under tremendous pricing
pressure, especially smaller stocks with high growth rates. Investors became
infatuated with liquidity issues, which created a major performance gap between
large stocks and their smaller counterparts. In this environment, we lost ground
and finished the early part of the year lower. But the market's fascination with
the mega-caps eventually slowed, and investors once again began to focus on
small and midsize stocks. The S&P MidCap 400 Index posted particularly
impressive numbers mid-year; however, these returns were driven mostly by
technology and energy stocks, areas in which the Series was underweighted.
Meanwhile, the Series' investments in wireless communication and restaurant
stocks underperformed, and several consumer discretionary holdings failed to
post substantial gains. This combination, coupled with the Series'
underweighting in key performing sectors, proved to be a drag on performance for
much of the year.
 
During the year, several top positions experienced impressive sequential
earnings growth, but the stock prices did not keep pace with the Index. Papa
John's, Barnett and Omnicare each met or exceeded Wall Street's estimates for
several quarters, only to receive a lukewarm response. For the most recent
reporting period, the Series' top twenty positions had earnings gains in excess
of 35%; however, in a robust economic environment, investors migrated toward
more steady growth. As a result, some of the Series' holdings did not
significantly appreciate.
 
As the period ended, Fastenal, a longtime holding that distributes nuts and
bolts, retraced most of its earlier gains. The company expanded its sales force
following the recent introduction of several new products. Although Fastenal met
internal revenue expectations for the quarter, the higher costs associated with
its larger sales force caused the company to miss Wall Street's earnings
expectations, sending the stock price lower.
 
The Series gained 15.01% during 1997, while its benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400
Index, gained 32.25%. Despite significant efforts to improve performance, the
past twelve months proved to be a very difficult period for the Series. Severe
crosscurrents in the markets buffeted performance, and we were unable to close
the performance gap with the benchmark Index.
 
Although the last twelve months have been a difficult period, we remain positive
on our long-term outlook. The Series is focused on companies that we believe can
deliver dramatic earnings growth, regardless of the global economy. Going
forward, we expect many of our longtime holdings to provide this level of
growth. These include numerous domestic consumer discretionary stocks, some
U.K.-based restaurant and pub companies, and a number of media and entertainment
positions. Similarly, we believe our recent additions in the technology sector,
although small as a percentage of the Series' portfolio, have tremendous
potential. As the companies we own seek to deliver robust earnings well in
excess of the market, investors may once again take notice and afford these
companies a premium, especially in an environment of slower corporate growth.

                                 JANUS CAPITAL CORPORATION
[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:
 
Throughout the year, we remained dedicated to locating compelling individual
ideas. This led us to overweight Europe and underweight the U.S., Japan, and
most emerging markets, allowing us to sidestep several turbulent markets. Toward
the end of the year, we increased the Series' allocation to the U.S. market,
using the market's downside volatility as an entry point to add to several key
positions.
 
Our research continued to focus on a number of compelling individual ideas
around the world, including an assortment of classic European growth companies,
such as longtime holdings Securitas and Rentokil. Another dominant investment
theme in Europe was corporate restructuring, which has taken hold on the
Continent as companies, such as Philips Electronics, have realized they must
become more efficient if they hope to remain globally competitive.
 
We also found European financial services stocks very attractive. This sector
performed well in the fourth quarter, as the growing wave of consolidation
continued to sweep across Europe. Positions in UBS and Swiss Life both posted
solid gains following an increase in merger activity.
 
Finally, we owned a number of European technology companies, and more recently,
we were able to add several of their U.S. counterparts. Cap Gemini, a
French-based information technology company, is the beneficiary of a rebound in
economic activity on the Continent. Additionally, renewed corporate attention to
the Year 2000 conversion and the pending move toward the Euro are helping to
drive Cap Gemini's earnings growth. Meanwhile, the recent volatility in the U.S.
stock market provided attractive entry points into several topnotch U.S.
technology companies, including Cisco Systems and Microsoft.
 
The Series had another strong year, gaining 19.12%, well ahead of its benchmark,
the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (MSCI World Index), which
returned 15.76%. Given the volatility in the global markets this year, we were
particularly pleased with the Series' performance.
 
Going into 1998, we would expect to see continued volatility in world markets.
In this environment, high-quality stocks with predictable earnings streams
should perform well. We've increased the Series' exposure to both technology and
pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. and in Europe. Meanwhile, we believe that
corporate restructuring will continue to create attractive investment
opportunities in Europe. Looking elsewhere, we remain cautious towards Japan and
many emerging markets. Although valuations have certainly become compressed,
risk levels remain high relative to the potential gains. While the U.S.
continues to enjoy a solid economic backdrop, we will remain highly selective
and opportunistic when evaluating our domestic ideas.

                            JNL/ALGER GROWTH SERIES
                            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:
 
While 1997 resulted in strong overall performance for the U.S. stock market in
general, the road was not a smooth one for growth stocks. During the first
quarter, investors shunned aggressive growth stocks amid speculation that the
Federal Reserve would find it necessary to raise interest rates. As these fears
subsided and investor confidence increased, the favorable relative multiples of
growth stocks attracted investors during the second quarter. This trend
continued, becoming even more pronounced during the third quarter as a
non-inflationary, low interest rate environment further boosted investor
confidence and increased the amount of risk they were willing to assume.
 
During the fourth quarter, incidents of international economic turbulence led to
a heightened sense of domestic uncertainty, which in turn triggered an abrupt
return to defensive equity investing. A dramatic sell-off in Hong Kong preceded
an historic 554-point drop in the Dow on October 27th. Currency collapses and
subsequent banking failures throughout the Pacific Rim caused investors to
question the ability of U.S. companies dependent on this region for revenue to
meet future earnings expectations. Although the broad market recovered from the
late October sell-off, the rebound was dominated by blue-chip stocks and
utilities, causing the S&P 500 to outdistance other market indices and growth
stocks in general.
 
In an effort to achieve optimal return, the Series employed several different
strategies over the course of 1997. Relative to other years, the Series tended
to be overweighted in large cap stocks. An overcommitment in pharmaceutical
stocks helped buoy performance. A large technology position drove performance in
the third quarter. The position was drastically reduced the following quarter,
as we sold off those stocks we felt would be most impacted by the Asian crisis.
 
Looking ahead, low inflation and the fear that a stronger dollar may further
hurt debilitated Asian nations will likely prevent the Federal Reserve from
raising interest rates in the near future. Additionally, we feel the economy
will slow, leading to modest earnings growth in 1998. P/E ratios, however, could
reach very high levels because of the lack of inflation and lower interest
rates. Assuming our bottom-up forecast of Dow earnings of $486 a share is
accurate, and the Dow trades at a multiple of 18.5 x's earnings, the market
could rise to around the 9000 level next year. Given this, we are still bullish
on stocks and given their favorable valuations, we are especially bullish on
domestic growth stocks.

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 sub-adviser
utilizes three different investment strategies to pursue the Series' objectives:
growth equity, value equity and equity income. 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:
 
For the third year in a row, the U.S. domestic equities market provided
double-digit returns, as measured by the S&P 500. However, these exceptional
returns did not come easily. Stock investors experienced significant volatility
as sectors and industries moved in and out of favor. During the first quarter,
most analysts expected earnings growth in domestic companies to slow and for the
Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates. Investors fled to the
highest quality growth stocks. When their fears did not materialize, stocks in
most sectors rallied during both the second and third quarters. Value stocks
rallied in the third quarter as investors gained more confidence in the
stability of the economy, and began purchasing stocks of companies that had been
neglected during the previous quarters' flight to quality. However, in the
fourth quarter, the world was rocked by significant problems that were exposed
in the Asian financial sector. Stocks dropped in general and investors fled to
high quality growth stocks again.
 
The Series employs three distinct investment styles: 40% growth equity, 40%
value equity and 20% equity income. Portfolio management in each of the three
investment styles adhere to strict disciplines. This combination of strategies
provides diversification within a single portfolio as each style performs
differently depending on the market environment. In light of the extreme
volatility in the markets, we positioned the Series to capture much of the
market's upside potential but also to provide a buffer in the event of a
correction. As could be expected, the three portions of the Series performed
differently over the past year. The growth equity portion of the Series turned
over relatively few positions as many of the stocks it held outperformed and
continued to meet the program's stringent buy criteria. The combination of
sensational corporate profits and declining interest rates proved to be a
powerful stimulant to the growth equity portion of the Series throughout the
year, despite an extremely volatile fourth quarter. For the value equity portion
of the Series, it was very difficult to find great companies at attractive
prices in 1997. We took advantage of the significant volatility in the market to
purchase stocks that moved into value equity's buy range. Equity income lagged
the growth-driven market in the second quarter but outperformed for the full
year as investors flocked to stable income producing stocks in the latter part
of the year.
 
In the JNL/Eagle Core Equity Series, our goal is to provide returns that are
similar to the market as measured by the S&P 500 while taking less risk. The
Series blends a more aggressive growth style with more conservative value and
equity income styles. As the market was driven primarily by growth in 1997, the
Series underperformed the S&P 500 slightly for the year.
 
The months ahead could continue to be volatile for the stock and bond markets.
Until investors see how large an impact the Asian problems will have on domestic
corporate earnings, speculation and fear may increase volatility. In the
meantime, interest rates remain low and the economy remains strong, the
inflation outlook is promising and the Federal Reserve appears unlikely to raise
rates in the first part of 1998. Important issues for the upcoming year are the
effects the potential trade reduction with Asian countries could have on
corporate profits here in the U.S. versus the potential balancing effect of
possibly declining interest rates and the rebound in European economies. The
blend of the three different investment styles helps to position the Series to
benefit from shifting investor sentiment. The combination of growth, value and
income stocks in one portfolio helps to reduce volatility as different market
sectors move in and out of favor.

                       JNL/EAGLE SMALLCAP EQUITY SERIES
                       EAGLE ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.
[EAGLE LOGO]           BERT L. BOKSEN
 
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:
 
Small company stocks were hit hard during the first quarter of 1997 as nervous
investors favored the more stable multi-national growth stocks. Most analysts
expected earnings growth in domestic companies to slow and for the Federal
Reserve to continue raising short-term interest rates. When their fears did not
materialize, stocks in most sectors rallied during both the second and third
quarters of 1997. Although small cap stock indexes in general lagged their large
cap counterparts over the year, most stocks rose during the middle of the year.
Small cap stocks were the best performing sector in the third quarter, with the
Russell 2000 Index returning almost double that of the S&P 500. Then in the
fourth quarter, small cap stocks dropped as investors once again moved into more
stable, large cap domestic stocks in light of the problems that occurred in the
Asian financial markets.
 
The Series invests in securities of small companies (those with market
capitalizations between $75 million and $1 billion at the time of purchase) that
have significant growth potential and that appear to be reasonably valued
compared to their long-term earning power. We performed extensive research
before investing in a company. During the first quarter, we added some
technology, retail and telecommunication stocks to the Series' portfolio because
the fundamental qualities of the firms met our strict criteria and the firms
offered promising growth potential over the short and long terms. We sold
several energy stocks after they had provided strong returns to lock in gains,
since their prospects for future growth appeared to wane. In April, we added to
the Series' technology weighting, which helped it outperform during the
remainder of the second quarter. In the third and fourth quarters, we continued
to purchase carefully researched positions in the lodging, education and
environmental services industries. The diversification of the portfolio and
fundamental research we conducted helped to reduce risk during the year.
 
The JNL/Eagle SmallCap Equity Series outperformed the Russell 2000 Index of
small cap stocks significantly during three of the four quarters in 1997. We
attribute the Series' outperformance for the year to the fundamental research we
conduct. This research helps reduce the risk of negative surprises and helps
increase our ability to locate quickly growing small companies that other
investors have not yet discovered.
 
The months ahead could continue to be volatile for the stock and bond markets.
Until investors see how large an impact the Asian problems will have on domestic
corporate earnings, speculation and fear may increase volatility. In the
meantime, interest rates remain low and the economy remains strong, the
inflation outlook is promising and the Federal Reserve appears unlikely to raise
rates in the first part of 1998. We believe that small cap stocks are
underpriced on a relative basis and have the potential to outperform if
sentiment improves in the equity markets. Important issues for the upcoming year
are the effects the potential trade reduction with Asian countries could have on
corporate profits here in the U.S. versus the potential balancing effects of
possibly declining interest rates and the rebound in European economies. Our
investment strategy is designed to outperform in all investment environments.
Thus, we will continue to use fundamental research to locate stocks of rapidly
growing small companies that are not overpriced and have not already been
discovered by most investors.

                           JNL/PUTNAM GROWTH SERIES
                           PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC.
[PUTNAM INVESTMENTS LOGO]  CAROL C. MCMULLEN
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL/Putnam Growth Series seeks as its investment objective long-term growth 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 opportunity for capital growth.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The favorable combination of slow and steady U.S. economic growth and a low
level of inflation and interest rates continued to support stock prices in 1997.
Although large-capitalization, multinational firms led the market early in the
year, there was a broadening of the market during the third quarter. Concerns
over political and economic turmoil in Southeast Asia resulted in investor
interest in companies whose earnings are derived primarily from the United
States. By the fourth quarter, small-cap indices suffered a negative impact from
a significant pullback in technology stocks. Both the growth and value areas
produce mixed results, though many top-performing sectors had a value tilt.
 
For 1997 as a whole, the Series underperformed the S&P 500 Index, though from
its inception with Putnam Investments (May 5, 1997) through December 31,
JNL/Putnam Growth Series outperformed the Index. Performance was aided by
strategic positioning; we expanded the capitalization range of our holdings
(within the defined limits of our discipline), focusing on domestic firms. Our
emphasis on the finance, technology, and health-care sectors contributed
positively to performance, as did underweighting consumer staples and basic
industries. Hindering performance, however, was an overweight exposure to the
technology sector, which retreated in the fourth quarter, and underweight
exposure to utilities, which staged a late-year rally.
 
With the ongoing uncertainties regarding the potential impact of Southeast Asian
difficulties, the Series continues to focus on stocks whose earnings are largely
domestic. It is overweight in the technology, finance, and health-care sectors.
We also find consumer cyclicals -- particularly value-oriented retailers -- to
be attractive. Our discipline is to remain fully invested. However, we are
cautious about the 1998 outlook. Recent consensus earnings expectations have
declined sharply, given a reassessment of the reverberations of the Far East
situation. The probability of "event risk" has risen, and the aging of the
strong stock market could result in a correction. Offsetting these concerns are
the continued low levels of interest rates and inflation; the attractiveness of
U.S. equities as a safe haven; and the continued shrinkage of stock availability
(due to industry consolidations) while demand remains high. In this environment,
we are maintaining our disciplined approach to stock selection, which we believe
will result superior returns over time.

[PUTNAM INVESTMENTS LOGO]  ANTHONY I. KREISEL
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
JNL/Putnam Value Equity Series seeks as its investment objective capital growth,
with income as a secondary objective by investing primarily in common stocks
which the sub-adviser believes to be undervalued relative to underlying asset
value or earnings potential at the time of purchase.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
From its inception with Putnam Investments (on May 1, 1997) and for 1997 as a
whole, the JNL/Putnam Value Equity Series trailed the S&P 500 Index. Overall,
the Series outperformed in the third quarter, but lost ground in the hot,
technology-driven second quarter and the large-cap growth stock-dominated fourth
quarter.
 
In the second quarter, U.S. equities soared to record levels, with technology
and growth-oriented pharmaceutical stocks racing ahead of the market. The value
stocks in the Series could not be expected to keep pace with the select
large-cap growth stocks that pushed the S&P 500 Index up a breathtaking 17.44%
for the quarter.
 
In the third quarter, the Series' position in financial services and energy
sectors, plus an underweighting in the lagging consumer growth and health-care
sectors, all contributed to outperformance. By year-end, the Series benefited
from strong issue selection in financial, utility, and health care but was
hindered by overweighting basic industrial, energy, and capital goods. Weak
stock selection in the poor-performing technology sector also had a negative
impact on performance.
 
The outlook for large-cap value-oriented portfolios remains favorable. Inflation
has remained modest, interest rates are declining, and corporate profit growth
is positive. Valuations are still attractive relative to the general market. In
addition, the backlash from the ongoing currency and economic upheavals in Asia
is creating opportunities for value investors, particularly in the technology
area, but also in the predominantly domestic sectors such as utilities,
telecommunications, and transportation.

OBJECTIVE:
 
PPM America/JNL Balanced 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 overall U.S. stock market continued its advance to record levels in 1997.
Stocks of companies with large-sized market capitalizations led the strong
rally. The U.S. fixed income market also posted positive returns as interest
rates fell. The decline in rates was driven by the benign inflationary
environment and, late in the year, by the crisis in the Asian financial markets.
 
PPM America assumed responsibility for managing the PPM America/JNL Balanced
Series on May 1. The Series was reshaped to reflect our emphasis on security
selection and our viewpoint on the risk/reward trade-off of the stock market.
The Series produced a return of 18.43% for 1997. This compares to 33.35% for the
S&P 500 Index and 9.65% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.
 
The equity portion of the Series is now managed using a relative value
philosophy. The equity portion of the Series' assets have a lower-than-market
price/earnings ratio (compared to the S&P 500 Index) based on expected 1998
corporate earnings and a higher-than-market dividend yield. The equity component
is overweighted in stocks of telecommunications, electric utility, financial,
auto and railroad companies. It is underweighted in stocks of consumer, health
care, energy and technology companies. The fixed income portion of the Series is
now managed with a duration-neutral, relative value framework. We seek to invest
in fixed income sectors and individual securities which are expected to provide
higher returns than the overall fixed income market at similar levels of
interest rate risk. The fixed income portion is now underweighted in
mortgage-backed and U.S. Government securities. It is overweighted in high yield
securities.
 
We believe that the tremendous rally over the last few years has pushed the
overall stock market to valuation levels where the risk/reward trade-off is not
compelling. As such, since assuming management responsibility, we have
maintained a fairly even allocation between equity and fixed income securities.

                 PPM AMERICA/JNL HIGH YIELD BOND SERIES
                 PPM AMERICA, INC.
[PPM-AMER LOGO]  TEAM MANAGEMENT
 
OBJECTIVE:
 
PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Series seeks as its investment objective a high
level of current income; its secondary investment objective is capital
appreciation by investing in fixed income securities, with emphasis on
higher-yielding, higher-risk, lower-rated or unrated corporate bonds.
 
MONEY MANAGER COMMENTARY:
 
The U.S. high yield market was once again the best performing domestic fixed
income asset class during 1997. As measured by the Lehman Brothers High Yield
Index, the sector returned 12.76% during the period, outperforming U.S.
Treasuries, investment grade corporates, mortgage-backed securities, and
asset-backed securities. The performance of the high yield market was driven by
strong demand from pension funds, insurance companies and mutual funds, as well
as by substantial involvement by crossover managers of all types seeking to
maximize yield. Additionally, corporate defaults continued to be quite low
during 1997, reflecting relatively healthy economic conditions and the generally
favorable financing environment present throughout the year. Record levels of
new issuance dominated the high yield market in 1997 for the second year in a
row. Specifically, there was continued high levels of supply from developmental
telecommunication credits, single B-rated credits, non-rated credits, and
foreign issuers. These concentrations have served to reshape the risks
associated with the market and will undoubtedly impact future performance.
 
Our approach to the management of the Series is relative valuation based. We
focus on purchasing individual securities which are attractively priced and have
the potential to outperform the benchmark, in the context of industry weightings
derived by the same factors. During 1997, this approach led to our overweighting
of credits rated in the single-B category, as well as our moderate overweighting
of cyclical industries.
 
The PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Series finished the year with a return of
15.05%, outperforming the Lehman Brothers High Yield Index by 229 basis points.
The Series also strongly outperformed the Lipper High Yield Universe average of
12.91% by 214 basis points and the Morningstar High Yield Index average of
12.92% by 213 basis points. The Series' performance advantage was primarily
attributable to security selection as well as favorable industry weightings.
 
We expect continued strong performance by the high yield market during 1998,
driven once again by robust demand for the securities from a variety of sources
as well as a generally stable economic environment. One of the only scenarios
that could derail the demand picture during 1998 would be an outright recession
and it is our belief that the chances of this occurring are small despite the
present situation in Asia. In conclusion, in light of the generally favorable
market conditions PPM America projects for 1998, we plan to maintain our
strategy of searching for attractively valued securities and industry sectors
with the potential to outperform the benchmark.

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 U.S. economy grew moderately with low inflation and falling interest rates.
Asian economies were mired in crisis for the latter part of 1997 with currencies
and stock market values plummeting. That led to an increase of credit risk
premiums globally and pressured the emerging markets and high yield sectors for
most of the fourth quarter.
 
High yield returned 13.19% for the year as measured by the Salomon Smith Barney
High Yield Market Index. For most of the year, persistently strong flows into
mutual funds and solid credit fundamentals bolstered the high yield sector. The
quest for yield also led investors to bid up emerging market bonds until
October. Falling inflation rates, stable currencies, stable political
environments and rising foreign domestic investment all helped to support the
case for an allocation to the emerging market sector. Although October's -9.39%
Salomon Smith Barney Brady Bond index return made a dent in what was shaping up
to be another great year, emerging market bonds bounced back in November and
December and resulted in a gain of 16.85% for the year. Long maturity Treasuries
rallied sharply in 1997, with ten year note yields falling 67 basis points and
thirty year bond yields falling 71 basis points. That also heavily influenced
the mortgage backed securities (MBS) sector which returned 9.27%, based on the
Salomon MBS index, a stellar return relative to other sectors of the investment
grade market when adjusted for the relatively lower interest rate sensitivity of
MBS.
 
The Series lowered its allocation to the high yield and emerging market sectors
while raising the investment grade portion in the third quarter. The high yield
allocation was lowered from 40 to 35%, emerging markets was lowered from 20 to
15% and investment grade was raised to 40%. The target allocation for non-US
dollar denominated bonds was left unchanged at 10%. The Series also extended
duration in the third quarter and increased the commitment to the MBS sector.
 
The allocation to high yield and emerging markets was reduced in the third
quarter as the sectors were viewed as fully valued, having tightened
dramatically throughout the year. Duration was extended as a function of a
positive inflation outlook and an improved technical situation in the government
market as falling budget deficits and strong buying of Treasuries by foreigners
portended further declines in interest rates.
 
The Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Series returned 10.66% for 1997 versus
4.31% for the Lipper Annuity Global Income category and 9.65% Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index.
 
Our outlook for the investment grade markets is positive given our sanguine
inflation view and optimistic assumptions regarding the budget deficit. Although
we are positive on the fundamentals for the emerging markets and high yield
sectors, in the short run the market may experience some volatility as Asian
countries continue to try and resolve their economic problems. The problems will
take years to correct, but what the markets are looking for is a long term,
multi year strategy combined with a refinancing of short term obligations into
longer term obligations that would resolve the liquidity crisis in countries
such as Indonesia and Korea.
 
Our current high yield and emerging markets allocations remain at 35 and 15%
respectively, below our long term targets of 40 and 20%.
 
We will be monitoring the employment cost index for signs of rising inflation
pressures, progress on the U.S. budget deficit, flows into bond mutual funds,
Asian economic reforms and credit fundamentals in both the U.S. and emerging
market economies.

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:
 
Economic conditions in the U.S. remained surprisingly favorable throughout 1997.
The combination of moderate growth and low inflation supported the financial
markets. The Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates in March was
widely anticipated, and since then, the market continued to be comforted by the
fact that strong growth did not translate into higher inflation readings. The
turmoil in Asian markets reverberated throughout the world later in the year,
and the resultant dampening effects are likely to keep the Fed on hold for the
near term.
 
Early in 1997, bonds sold off on the expectation that strong U.S. economic
growth would begin to translate into higher inflation readings. Following the
March tightening by the Fed -- when long bond yields were more than
7% -- inflation unexpectedly continued to decline. This led to a rally in U.S.
fixed-income securities, and yields fell some 75 basis points through the
summer. The rally continued in the fall, when it was widely believed that the
Asian crisis would slow economic growth in the United States to more sustainable
levels. The Series' strong performance reflects the continued overweight
position in mortgage-backed securities. Indeed, mortgages (as measured by the
Salomon Brothers Mortgage Index) posted returns of 9.27% in 1997, which on a
duration-adjusted basis outdistanced benchmark Treasuries by approximately 132
basis points. The Series' performance was also helped by the slightly longer
duration position relative to the benchmark since midyear.
 
The Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Series posted a 9.16%
return in 1997. This performance compares favorably versus the Lipper General
U.S. Government Average return of 8.78%. The Series lagged the Salomon Brothers
Treasury Index which posted a 9.63% return.
 
As we move into 1998, the effects of the turmoil in Asia will continue. While we
believe that the direct impact on the U.S. will be limited, the indirect effects
could be larger. The weakness in Asia should dampen U.S. growth to sustainable
levels, offsetting strength in housing and other consumer sectors. This should
also serve to curb mounting pressure in the labor force. We believe that the
inflation picture will improve going forward, as price competition in
commodities and produced goods from countries such as Korea and Japan keep U.S.
prices in check. This combination of slower growth and lower inflation should
benefit financial assets in 1998. Barring a significant decline in interest
rates, we believe that additional spreads from mortgages will lead to higher
returns versus Treasuries.

                         T. ROWE PRICE ASSOCIATES, INC.
[T.ROWE PRICE LOGO]      ROBERT W. SMITH
 
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:
 
For most of 1997, the story has been a continuation of the last several years:
strong domestic economic growth, mixed international growth resulting in good
earnings' growth, and mild inflation. Companies continued to focus on improving
margins and on driving down costs, both of which are very positive for profit
growth and stock performance. The Federal Reserve continued to play the right
cards as the economy continued not "too hot" and not "too cold."
 
Over the fourth quarter, this perfect backdrop began to show some holes as
trade, currency, and economic problems in the Far East unfolded. The expected
shortfall of worldwide economic growth and the subsequent slower earnings'
growth of many U.S. companies was largely offset by a decline in interest rates
and a "flight to the safety" of the domestic market.
 
While the U.S. market remained relatively stable, its components experienced
substantial differences in returns. Technology and cyclical issues performed
poorly, while stable, less cyclical companies did well in the fourth quarter.
 
The Series' relatively large investments in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
contributed significantly to returns. Although we trimmed some shares of Freddie
Mac as prices rose, we still maintain large holdings in both companies. Other
large holdings such as GE, Berkshire Hathaway, Danaher, Norwest, Pfizer, and
Tyco International also performed exceedingly well. The Series' investments in
Bermuda-based reinsurers -- ACE Limited and PartnerRe Holdings -- were very
rewarding, as were some other international holdings, including Vodafone and
Novartis.
 
Issues affected by the problems in Asia detracted from performance. While we cut
back this exposure early in 1997, what remained performed poorly. Both Hutchison
Whampoa and Swire Pacific were down significantly from early-year levels. In
addition, several technology holdings, such as 3Com, Oracle, Corning, and
Motorola, were affected by declines in Far East demand.
 
The biggest disappointment was First Data. While problems there will take time
to be resolved, we remain holders of the stock due to the company's strong
position in good growth markets.
 
We continue to look for the same criteria in our investments as we have in the
past. We search for companies with leadership in growth markets, strong
managements, strong cash flow, and solid returns on cash flow. We attempt to
find all or most of these characteristics at reasonable valuations, but this
proved difficult as the strong market continued in 1997.
 
Nevertheless, opportunities did present themselves, and we initiated several new
positions in the last six months. These included leading companies in growth
markets, including Cendant (which resulted from merger of CUC International and
HFS), Bristol-Myers Squibb, Network Associates, and EMC, all of which are
gaining market share in growth markets and generating solid free cash flow.
 
We bought shares of good generators and users of cash flow, including Tenet
Healthcare, a consolidator in the hospital industry; Safeway, in our view the
best-managed supermarket company; and AT&T, which should begin to generate solid
cash flow as effective new management takes control.
 
While investors have benefited from an ideal environment for stocks,
particularly those of large growth companies, it is important to realize that
stock prices tend to rise with earnings and cash flow growth. The Series'
investments are in companies offering both strong earnings and cash flow growth,
but we believe that stocks have outpaced these growth rates. In addition,
international issues are likely to slow growth in 1998. For these reasons, we
anticipate more modest returns in 1998.
 
Although Asia's economic drag could affect domestic markets, we still anticipate
moderate U.S. economic growth in 1998. We believe the current environment should
favor the Series' holdings, as our focus on strong management and strong cash
flow should help growth stocks prosper in a tough environment.

                         ROWE PRICE-FLEMING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
[T. ROWE PRICE LOGO]     ADVISORY COMMITTEE
 
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:
 
For the year ended December 31, 1997, the T. Rowe Price/JNL International Equity
Investment Series slightly outperformed the Series' benchmark, the MSCI E.A.FE.
Index, which rose 2.06%. The dollar had a strong year -- gaining some ground
against the yen and even more against European currencies, and this hampered
portfolio performance.
 
European markets were generally good performers. Asian markets performed poorly,
with even the Japan's Nikkei falling back to its bear-market lows. In Latin
America, markets rose sharply despite their Asia-induced stumble toward
year-end.
 
Country allocation relative to the benchmark index was positive over the year.
Underweighting Japan and overweighting Latin America added value although this
was eroded by an underweighted position in the U.K. and an overweighted position
in the first half of the year in some smaller Asian markets.
 
Stock selection was a small negative over the year. Underperformance in Europe,
particularly in the Netherlands and Germany, was the main culprit with our
favorite growth stocks starting the year poorly.
 
The outlook remains reasonable for European markets, with corporate profits'
growth likely to be strong supported by good economic growth and further
restructuring.
 
We believe that Latin American markets remain attractive, given continued
commitment to political and economic reform in the region. The relative
resilience of these markets in recent months, despite the problems in the
Pacific Rim, has been encouraging.
 
The outlook for Asia is more uncertain, and we remain cautious about the
prospects for the region's smaller markets as we believe that their problems are
more deep-seated than is generally realised. While there may be some bounces in
markets which have fallen a long way already, we believe it is a time to be
particularly selective when looking at stocks traded in Asia.
 
Six months into the crisis, there is still no sight of the bottom, nor can we
hazard a guess that the worst is behind us yet. Even if recalcitrant governments
were to adopt the sort of harsh medicine that investors and the International
Monetary Fund have been calling for, circumstances have deteriorated to such an
extent now that the pain and loss of equity control would be so great that the
option of default is arguably no less unpalatable. Debt moratoriums, therefore,
cannot be ruled out.
 
Whilst a great deal of bad news has already been reflected in markets, we need
to see some stability return to currency markets before we further evaluate
investment opportunities in the region. Accepting the likelihood that we will
miss the initial snapback in currencies (which will inevitably be sharp), our
strategy is to remain in an underweighted and defensive posture until we have
some conviction that the crisis of confidence is past.
 
At that point, even though the regional economic recession may have only just
begun, we would look to build positions in companies which we think will be
long-term winners in this new environment.
 
Similarly, we remain cautious on the Japanese market despite recent weakness:
the economic outlook there is poor and the problems of the banking sector remain
severe.
 
Thus, we expect that 1998 performance is likely to be driven by the European and
Latin American equity markets, with Asia remaining fragile.

                         T. ROWE PRICE/JNL MID-CAP GROWTH SERIES
                         T. ROWE PRICE ASSOCIATES, INC.
[T.ROWE PRICE LOGO]      INVESTMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
 
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:
 
Following stellar gains in 1995 and 1996, the stock market turned in another
unusually good performance in 1997, again led by the type of
large-capitalization, blue chip companies that compose the S&P 500 Index.
 
Mid-cap stocks lagged the major large-cap indices in the first half of the year,
staged a strong comeback in the third quarter, and faded again in the last three
months of 1997. Except for a brief period from April to October, growth stocks
lagged value stocks by a considerable margin.
 
The stocks of small and mid-sized companies usually outdistance larger stocks
late in economic expansions, but not this time. Perhaps the reason is that
larger companies have benefited from restructuring and cost cutting, whereas
small and mid-sized companies are still growing rapidly and have had little fat
to cut.
 
The largest contributor to performance for the second half of 1997 and a large
contributor in the fourth quarter was Cox Communications, a cable company that
is leading its industry in the implementation of new services, particularly high
speed Internet access and local telephone service. The largest contributor to
performance for the quarter was Outdoor Systems, North America's largest
billboard and outdoor advertising company, participating in the consolidation in
the industry with accretive acquisitions. The stock rose almost 50%. Royal
Caribbean Cruises continued its good performance, and SunGard Data Systems, a
computer services company specializing in investment support and disaster
recovery systems, was another large contributor with strong earnings gains.
 
The year's worst detractor to performance was Boston Chicken, a restaurant
operator whose stock fell when an unanticipated slowdown precipitated a
reevaluation by investors of what was, in hindsight, we believe an overly
aggressive expansion plan and a problematic financial structure. The portfolio
was also hurt by its position in Mercury Finance, a leader in used automobile
lending. Along with other investors, we were victimized by suspected management
fraud and manipulation of financial statements and are seeking redress through
legal action. The worst performing industry in 1997 was precious metals, as gold
fell from a 1997 high of approximately $369 per ounce to approximately $294 at
year-end. Our holdings in two growing gold companies, TVX Gold and Cambior, also
fell.
 
While the stock market as a whole continues to be near the upper end of its
traditional valuation range, low interest rates provide some support as long as
earnings growth continues. Relative to the overall market, we believe mid-cap
growth stocks look quite attractive. The aggregate underlying growth rate of our
portfolio companies is well in excess of the market as a whole, yet the
price/earnings ratio is only modestly higher than the market, and well below
many of the blue chip leaders. In addition, many of our mid-cap companies have
little direct foreign exposure, a factor that could be an advantage for the
first time in several years. Finally, the drop in the long-term U.S. capital
gains tax rate should favor small-and mid-cap growth companies, most of which
pay little or no dividends in order to reinvest in their own growth. We believe
the mid-cap growth sector, and the T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Series in
particular, are well positioned to achieve attractive returns over the long run.

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 each of the sixteen
Series comprising the JNL Series Trust (hereafter referred to as the "Trust")
at December 31, 1997, 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, 1997 by correspondence with the
custodian 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.

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 state-ments in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions.  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.  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.  Amer-ican
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
recorded on the trade date.  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.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS -- The accounting records of the Trust are
maintained in U.S. dollars.  Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities de-nominated 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
pay-ments 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 in-come securities, entering into forward
foreign currency exchange contracts, and accruing income or settling port-folio
purchases and sales denominated in a foreign cur-rency 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 (deprecia-tion) on investments,
respectively.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS --  A 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
for-ward 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 (deprecia-tion) on foreign currency related items.  When the
con-tract 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.
These forward foreign currency contracts involve market risk in excess of the
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward foreign currency contracts
reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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,
1997.

     WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS -- A 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  -- A Series may 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 --  A Series may write covered call options on
portfolio securities.  Written options involve, to varying degrees, risk of
loss in excess of the option value reflected in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.  The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Series may
forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security
increases and the option is exercised.  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.

                                JNL SERIES TRUST
                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     FUTURES CONTRACTS -- A Series may utilize futures contracts to a limited
extent.  The risks associated with the use of futures contracts includes the
possibility that the value may not correlate with the change in the value of
the hedged instruments.  In addition, there is the risk that the Series may not
be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices.
Changes in initial settlement value are accounted for as unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated at which time
realized gains and losses are recognized.

     SHORT POSITIONS -- A Series may sell securities short for hedging
purposes.  For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement
amount is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and
equivalent liability.  The amount of the liability is subsequently
marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short position.  The
Series is liable for any dividends payable on securities while those securities
are in a short position.  As collateral for its short positions, the Series is
required under the 1940 Act to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash,
cash equivalents or liquid securities.  These segregated assets are required to
be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the value of the securities sold short.

     DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS -- The Salomon Broth-ers/JNL Global Bond Series
and the Salomon Broth-ers/JNL U.S. Government & Quality Bond Series entered
into dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage sec-urities 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 re-purchase, 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.  Dollar roll
transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by
the Series may decline below the repurchase price of those similar securities
which the Series is obligated to purchase or that the return earned by the
Series with the proceeds of a dollar roll may not exceed transaction costs.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- A Series 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.

     REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- A Series may engage in reverse repurchase
agreements to borrow short term funds.  The value of the reverse repurchase
agreements that the Series have committed to sell are reflected in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.  The Series will maintain securities in
segregated accounts with its custodian that at all times are in an amount equal
to their obligations under the reverse repurchase agreements.  Reverse
repurchase agreements involve the risks that the market value of the securities
sold by the Series may decline below the repurchase price and, if the proceeds
from the reverse repurchase agreement are invested in securities, that the
market value of the securities bought may decline below the repurchase price of
the securities sold.

     DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- The PPM Amer-ica/JNL Money Market Series
declares dividends daily and pays dividends monthly.  For all other Series,
div-idends 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 at least annually.

     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 char-acterization of certain income and capital gain
dist-ributions 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

     The Trust has an investment advisory agreement with JNFSI whereby JNFSI
provides investment management and transfer agency services.  Each Series pays
JNFSI a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on a specified
percentage of the average daily net assets of each Series.  The following is a
schedule of the fees each Series is currently obligated to pay JNFSI.

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, 1997 the following Series had entered into "position
hedge" forward foreign currency exchange contracts that obligate the Series to
