    This  Prospectus  provides  you with the basic  information  you should know
before investing in the JNL Series Trust ("Trust").  You should read it and keep
it for future reference. A Statement of Additional Information, dated October 1,
1998, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can obtain
a copy without charge by calling (800) 322-8257, or writing the JNL Series Trust
Service Center,  P.O. Box 25127,  Lansing, MI 48909. The Securities and Exchange
Commission maintains a Web site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains the Statement
of  Additional  Information,  material  incorporated  by  reference,  and  other
information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Commission.
    

THESE  SECURITIES  HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR  DISAPPROVED  BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE  COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY
OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

    The 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
currently  offers  shares  in  separate  Series,  each  with its own  investment
objective.  The shares of the Trust are sold to life insurance  company separate
accounts to fund the benefits of variable annuity policies.

    As a result of the  market  risk  inherent  in any  investment,  there is no
assurance that the  investment  objective of any of the Series will be realized.
Investments  in a  Series  are  neither  insured  nor  guaranteed  by  the  U.S.
Government or any other entity or person, and there can be no assurance that the
PPM America/JNL  Money Market Series will be able to maintain a stable net asset
value of $1.00 per share.

    JNL  AGGRESSIVE  GROWTH SERIES 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.

    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.

    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.

appreciation by investing in a diversified, actively managed portfolio of equity
securities,  primarily  of  companies  with total  market  capitalization  of $1
billion or greater.

growth of capital by investing  primarily in common  stocks or  securities  with
common stock characteristics which demonstrate the potential for appreciation.

    JNL/EAGLE  CORE EQUITY SERIES seeks as its  investment  objective  long-term
capital appreciation and, secondarily,  current income by investing primarily in

above-average potential for long-term capital appreciation.

sub-adviser's forecast for interest rates.

    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

companies believed by the sub-adviser to have opportunity for capital growth.

    JNL/PUTNAM  VALUE EQUITY SERIES seeks as its  investment  objective  capital

    LAZARD/JNL SMALL CAP VALUE SERIES is a non-diversified  Series that seeks as

total capital or equity.

    LAZARD/JNL  MID CAP VALUE SERIES is a  non-diversified  Series that seeks as
its investment  objective capital  appreciation by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies  with market  capitalizations  in the range of companies

    PPM AMERICA/JNL BALANCED SERIES seeks as its investment objective reasonable

capital enhancement.

    PPM AMERICA/JNL  HIGH YIELD BOND SERIES seeks as its investment  objective a
high level of current  income;  its  secondary  investment  objective is capital

higher-yielding, higher-risk, lower-rated or unrated corporate bonds.

    PPM  AMERICA/JNL  MONEY MARKET SERIES seeks as its  investment  objective as
high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital
and  maintenance  of liquidity by investing in  high-quality,  short-term  money
market instruments.

    SALOMON  BROTHERS/JNL  BALANCED SERIES seeks to obtain  above-average income
(compared to a portfolio entirely invested in equity securities). As a secondary
objective,  the Series seeks to take  advantage of  opportunities  for growth of
capital and income. The Series seeks to achieve its objectives primarily through
investments  in a broad  variety of  securities,  including  equity  securities,
fixed-income securities and short-term obligations.

    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.

    SALOMON  BROTHERS/JNL  HIGH  YIELD BOND  SERIES  seeks to  maximize  current
income. As a secondary  objective,  the Series seeks capital  appreciation.  The

portfolio of high yield  fixed-income  securities  that offer a yield above that
generally  available on debt securities in the four highest rating categories of
the recognized rating services.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    T. ROWE PRICE/JNL  MID-CAP  GROWTH SERIES seeks as its investment  objective

Explanation of Annual Series Operating Expenses

   
Effective October 1, 1998, each Series pays Jackson National Financial Services,
LLC, the adviser, an Administrative Fee of .10% for certain services provided to
the Trust by  Jackson  National  Financial  Services,  LLC.  The  Annual  Series
Operating Expenses have been restated to reflect the Administrative Fee.
    

*  Underlying Series Expenses
The expenses  shown above are the annual  operating  expenses for these  Series.
Because  these  Series  invest in other  Series of the JNL Series  Trust,  these
Series  will  indirectly  bear their pro rata share of fees and  expenses of the
underlying Series in addition to the expenses shown.

The table  below shows the pro rata share of expenses  that these  Series  would
indirectly bear if they invested in a hypothetical mix of underlying Series. The
table below does not include these Series' annual  operating  expenses which are
shown  above.  The actual  expenses of each of these Series will be based on the
actual mix of underlying Series in which it invests.  The actual expenses may be
greater or lesser than those shown.

                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

    Investments  in each  Series  are made in many  different  securities  which
provide  diversification  to minimize risk. While there is careful  selection of
portfolio  securities  and  constant  supervision  by  a  team  of  professional
investment managers,  there can be no guarantee that the Series' objectives will
be achieved.  Because of differences in investment  objectives and policies,  as
well as acceptable  degrees of risk, the performance of a Series may differ even
though more than one Series may utilize the same securities selection.

    Unless otherwise stated, the investment objectives and policies set forth in
this Prospectus are not  fundamental and may be changed by the Trustees  without
shareholder  approval.  Each Series is subject to additional investment policies
and restrictions described in the Statement of Additional  Information,  some of
which are fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval.

    Currently,  shares of the Trust are sold to life insurance  company separate
accounts  ("Accounts")  to  fund  the  benefits  of  variable  annuity  policies
("Policies") issued by life insurance companies. The Accounts purchase shares of
the Trust in accordance with variable account allocation  instructions  received
from owners of the Policies.  The Trust then uses the proceeds to buy securities
for its Series.  The  investment  adviser  manages the Series from day to day to
accomplish the Trust's investment  objectives.  The kinds of investments and the
way they  are  managed  depends  on what is  happening  in the  economy  and the
financial marketplaces. Each of the Accounts, as a shareholder, has an ownership
in the Trust's investments. The Trust also offers to buy back (redeem) shares of
the Trust from the Accounts at any time at net asset value.

     Reference is made herein to ratings assigned to certain types of securities
by Standard & Poor's  Ratings Group ("S&P"),  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.
("Moody's"), Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch"), Duff & Phelps, Inc. ("Duff
& Phelps")  and  Thomson  BankWatch,  Inc.,  recognized  independent  securities
ratings  institutions.  A description of the ratings categories  assigned by S&P
and Moody's is contained in Appendix A.

DIVERSIFICATION

    Certain of the Series  qualify as a  "diversified  company"  as such term is
defined in the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended  (the "1940  Act").
Certain  Series are  non-diversified  for  purposes of the 1940 Act because they
invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers.  To the extent that any
Series invests more than 5% of its assets in a particular  issuer,  its exposure
to credit risks and/or market risks  associated with that issuer  increases.  No
Series,  except the PPM America/JNL  Money Market Series,  will invest more than
25% of its total assets in any particular  industry (other than U.S.  Government
securities).

    INTERNAL   REVENUE   SERVICE   (IRS)   LIMITATIONS.   In   addition  to  the
diversification  requirements  stated above,  each Series intends to comply with
the  diversification  requirements  currently  imposed  by the  IRS on  separate
accounts of insurance  companies as a condition of maintaining the  tax-deferred
status of variable contracts.  More specific information may be contained in the
participating insurance company's separate account prospectus.

II, JNL/S&P Equity Growth Series II, and JNL/S&P Equity Aggressive Growth Series
II  (collectively,  the "JNL/S&P  Series")  concentrates  its investments in the
shares of Underlying Series, so each Series' investment  performance is directly
related to the investment  performance  of the Underlying  Series in which it is
invested.  The  ability  of each  Series  to meet its  investment  objective  is
directly  related  to the  ability  of  the  Underlying  Series  to  meet  their
objectives as well as the allocation among those Underlying Series. There can be
no  assurance  that  the  investment  objective  of  any of  the  Series  or the
Underlying Series will be achieved.

    As a shareholder  of an Underlying  Series,  a Series will bear its pro rata
share of the Underlying  Series  expenses,  which could result in duplication of
certain fees,  including  management and administrative  fees. Although a Series
may invest in a number of Underlying Series,  this investment  strategy does not
eliminate  investment  risk.  Investment  decisions by the  sub-advisers  of the
Underlying Series are made independently of the investment decisions of Standard
& Poor's  Investment  Advisory  Services,  Inc., as  sub-adviser  to the JNL/S&P
Series.

                          JNL AGGRESSIVE GROWTH SERIES

    The investment  objective of the JNL  Aggressive  Growth Series is long-term
growth of  capital.  It is a  diversified  Series that  pursues  its  investment
objective  by  investing  primarily  in common  stocks of  issuers  of any size,
including  larger,  well-established  companies  and  smaller,  emerging  growth
companies.  The  smaller  or newer a company  is,  the more  likely it may be to
suffer more significant  losses as well as realize more substantial  growth than
larger or more established issuers.

                            JNL CAPITAL GROWTH SERIES

    The  investment  objective  of the JNL Capital  Growth  Series is  long-term
growth of capital in a manner consistent with the preservation of capital. It is
a  non-diversified  Series that  pursues its  investment  objective  by normally
investing at least 50% of its equity assets in securities issued by medium-sized
companies.  Medium-sized  companies are those whose market  capitalizations fall
within the range of companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index (the "MidCap  Index").
Companies  whose  capitalization  falls  outside  this range  after the  Series'
initial  purchase  continue  to be  considered  medium-sized  companies  for the
purpose of this  policy.  As of December 31,  1997,  the MidCap  Index  included
companies  with  capitalizations  between  approximately  $213 million and $13.7
billion. The range of the MidCap Index is expected to change on a regular basis.
Subject to the above  policy,  the  Series may also  invest in smaller or larger
issuers.

                           JNL GLOBAL EQUITIES SERIES

    The  investment  objective  of the JNL Global  Equities  Series is long-term
growth of capital in a manner consistent with the preservation of capital. It is
a diversified  Series that pursues its investment  objective  primarily  through
investments  in common  stocks of foreign and  domestic  issuers.  The Series is
permitted to invest on a worldwide basis in companies and other organizations of
any size,  regardless of country of organization or place of principal  business
activity,  as well as domestic and foreign governments,  government agencies and
other  governmental  entities.  The Series  normally  invests in  securities  of
issuers from at least five  different  countries,  including the United  States,
although  the  Series  may at times  invest all of its assets in fewer than five
countries. The JNL Global Equities Series may not be suitable for investors that
are not able to bear the  additional  risks  associated  with the  Series'  more
extensive holdings of foreign securities.

            JNL AGGRESSIVE GROWTH SERIES, JNL CAPITAL GROWTH SERIES,
                           JNL GLOBAL EQUITIES SERIES

    Each of the JNL  Aggressive  Growth,  JNL  Capital  Growth,  and JNL  Global
Equities  Series invests  substantially  all of its assets in common stocks when
its sub-adviser  believes that the relevant market environment favors profitable
investing  in  those  securities.  Common  stock  investments  are  selected  in
industries  and  companies  that  the  sub-adviser   believes  are  experiencing
favorable  demand  for their  products  and  services,  and which  operate  in a
favorable  competitive  environment and regulatory  climate.  The  sub-adviser's
analysis and selection  process focuses on stocks with earnings growth potential
that may not be recognized by the market. Such securities are selected primarily
for their capital growth  potential;  investment  income is not a consideration.
These  selection  criteria  apply  equally  to stocks  of  foreign  issuers.  In
addition,  factors such as expected  levels of  inflation,  government  policies
influencing business  conditions,  the outlook for currency  relationships,  and
prospects for relative  economic growth among  countries,  regions or geographic
areas may warrant greater consideration in selecting foreign stocks.

    Each of the  JNL  Aggressive  Growth,  JNL  Capital  Growth  and JNL  Global
Equities  Series  invests  primarily  in common  stocks of foreign and  domestic
companies.  Each  Series  may  invest  to a  lesser  degree  in  other  types of
securities, including preferred stock, warrants, convertible securities and debt
securities. Debt securities that the Series may purchase include corporate bonds
and debentures (not to exceed 35% of net assets in  high-yield/high-risk  bonds)
(See  "Investment  Risks High  Yield/High Risk Bonds");  government  securities;
mortgage- and asset-backed securities (not to exceed 25% of assets); zero coupon
bonds  (not to  exceed  10% of  assets);  indexed/structured  notes;  high-grade
commercial  paper;  certificates  of deposit;  and repurchase  agreements.  Such
securities may offer growth potential because of anticipated changes in interest
rates, credit standing,  currency  relationships or other factors. Each of these
Series may also invest in short-term  debt  securities as a means of receiving a
return on idle  cash.  Each  Series  may  invest up to 15% of its net  assets in
illiquid securities.

    When  the  Series'  sub-adviser  believes  that  market  conditions  are not
favorable for profitable  investing or when the sub-adviser is otherwise  unable
to locate favorable  investment  opportunities,  the Series'  investments may be
hedged to a greater degree and/or its cash or similar  investments may increase.
In other  words,  the Series do not always  stay  fully  invested  in stocks and
bonds.  Cash or similar  investments  are residual -- they  represent the assets
that remain after the  sub-adviser has committed  available  assets to desirable
investment  opportunities.  When a Series' cash position  increases,  it may not
participate in stock market  advances or declines to the extent that it would if
it remained more fully invested in common stocks.

    Although JNL Global Equities Series is committed to foreign investing,  each
of these  Series  may invest  without  limit in equity  and debt  securities  of
foreign  issuers.   The  Series  may  invest  directly  in  foreign   securities
denominated in a foreign  currency and not publicly traded in the United States.
Other ways of investing in foreign  securities  include  depositary  receipts or
shares, and passive foreign investment  companies.  Each of these Series may use
futures,  options and other  derivatives  for hedging  purposes or as a means of
enhancing  return.  Some securities that these Series may purchase may be issued
on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.

    Each of JNL Aggressive  Growth,  JNL Capital Growth and JNL Global  Equities
Series may invest in "special situations" from time to time. A special situation
arises when, in the opinion of the  sub-adviser,  the securities of a particular
issuer will be recognized and appreciate in value due to a specific  development
with respect to that issuer.  Developments  creating  special  situations  might
include, among others, a new product or process, a technological breakthrough, a
management  change or other  extraordinary  corporate  event,  or differences in
market supply of and demand for the security.  Investment in special  situations
may  carry  an  additional  risk of  loss  in the  event  that  the  anticipated
development  does not occur or does not  attract  the  expected  attention.  The
impact of this  strategy on a Series  will  depend on the  Series'  size and the
extent of its  holdings  of  special  situation  issuers  relative  to total net
assets.

                             JNL/ALGER GROWTH SERIES

    The investment objective of the JNL/Alger Growth Series is long-term capital
appreciation.  It is a diversified Series that seeks to achieve its objective by
investing  in equity  securities,  such as common or  preferred  stocks that are
listed on a national  securities  exchange,  or securities  convertible  into or
exchangeable for equity securities, including warrants and rights. Except during
temporary  defensive periods,  the Series invests at least 85 percent of its net
assets in  equity  securities  and at least 65  percent  of its total  assets in
equity  securities of companies that, at the time of purchase of the securities,
have total market capitalization of $1 billion or greater.

    It is anticipated  that the Series will invest  primarily in companies whose
securities  are traded on domestic  stock  exchanges or in the  over-the-counter
market.  These companies may still be in the  developmental  stage, may be older
companies  that  appear to be entering a new stage of growth  progress  owing to
factors such as management changes or development of new technology, products or
markets or may be  companies  providing  products or  services  with a high unit
volume  growth  rate.  The Series  may  invest up to 35% of its total  assets in
equity securities of companies that, at the time of purchase,  have total market
capitalization  of less than $1  billion.  In order to  afford  the  Series  the
flexibility to take advantage of new opportunities for investments in accordance
with its investment  objective,  the Series may hold up to 15% of its net assets
in  money  market  instruments  and  repurchase  agreements.   During  temporary
defensive  periods,  the  Series  may  invest  up to 100% of its  assets in debt
securities,  money market instruments and/or repurchase  agreements.  The Series
may also  purchase  restricted  securities  (subject to a limit on all  illiquid
securities of 10% of net assets), lend its securities and enter into short sales
"against the box." (See "Common Types of Securities and Management Practices").

                           JNL/ALLIANCE GROWTH SERIES

    The  investment  objective  of the  JNL/Alliance  Growth  Series  is to seek
long-term growth of capital.  Whatever current income is generated by the Series
is  incidental to the objective of capital  growth.  It is a diversified  Series
that seeks to achieve its  objective by investing  primarily in common stocks or
securities with common stock  characteristics.  Securities  designated as having
"common  stock"  characteristics  include,  but are not limited  to,  securities
convertible   into  or  exchangeable   for  common  stock.   The  potential  for
appreciation  of  capital is the basis for  investment  decisions.  The  Series'
sub-adviser  considers the factors that it believes affect potential for capital
appreciation,  including an issuer's  current and projected  revenue,  earnings,
cash flow and assets, as well as general market conditions.

    When  the  outlook  for  common  stocks  is not  considered  promising,  for
temporary  defensive  purposes,  a  substantial  portion  of the  assets  may be
invested   in   securities   of  the   U.S.   Government,   its   agencies   and
instrumentalities,  cash  and cash  equivalents  (such  as  commercial  bank and
savings association obligations, commercial paper and short-term corporate bonds
and notes) and repurchase agreements.

    Because the  securities  purchased by this Series in pursuing its investment
objective are selected for growth  potential  rather than  production of income,
the market values of such securities (and therefore,  to a large extent, the net
asset value per share of the Series)  will tend to be more  volatile in response
to market changes than they would be if income-producing  securities were sought
for  investment  by the  Series.  Up to 25% of the Series'  total  assets may be
invested in foreign securities.  (See "Investment Risks --Foreign  Securities").
Up to 15% of the Series' net assets may be invested in illiquid securities.

    The Series may write covered call and put options on any securities in which
it may invest.  The Series may also write call and put options on any securities
index composed of securities in which it may invest. The Series may purchase put
and call  options  on any  securities  in which it may  invest or options on any
securities  index composed of securities in which it may invest.  The Series may
purchase and write covered options on the yield "spread," or yield  differential
between two  securities.  Such  transactions  are  referred to as "yield  curve"
options.  The Series may  purchase  and sell options that are traded (i) on U.S.
exchanges,   (ii)  on  foreign   exchanges  and  (iii)   over-the-counter   with
broker-dealers  who make  markets  in these  options.  The  Series may engage in
futures  transactions  and options  thereon on securities,  securities  indices,
foreign currencies and other financial  instruments and indices.  The Series may
engage in futures  transactions  for hedging purposes or, subject to regulations
promulgated  by  the  Commodity  Futures  Trading  Commission,  for  non-hedging
purposes.

    The Series may hold a portion of its assets in foreign  currencies and enter
into forward foreign currency exchange  contracts.  The Series may also purchase
and sell  exchange-traded  futures  contracts  relating to foreign  currency and
purchase and sell put and call options on currencies  and futures  contracts.  A
significant   portion   of   the   Series'   currency   transactions   will   be
over-the-counter  transactions.  The  Series  may  enter  into  forward  foreign
currency  exchange  contracts  to reduce the risks of  fluctuations  in exchange
rates.  The Series may purchase and write put and call options on currencies for
the purpose of protecting  against  declines in the U.S. dollar value of foreign
portfolio  securities and against  increases in the U.S.  dollar cost of foreign
securities to be acquired.  The Series will not speculate in currency  contracts
or options. The Series may use currency contracts and options to cross-hedge.

                          JNL/EAGLE CORE EQUITY SERIES

    The  investment  objective of the JNL/Eagle  Core Equity Series is long-term
capital  appreciation  and,  secondarily,  current  income.  It is a diversified
Series that seeks to achieve its  objective by  investing in common  stocks that
the sub-adviser  believes meet the criteria for one of three  individual  equity
strategies.  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.  Securities
which meet the criteria for the growth equity strategy will have at least one of
the following characteristics:

     o    expected earnings-per-share growth greater than the average of the S&P
          500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500"); or

     o    return on equity greater than the average of the S&P 500.

    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.  Securities  which meet the criteria for the
value equity strategy will have at least one of the following characteristics at
the time of purchase:

     o    price-to-earnings  ratio or price-to-book  value ratio of less than or
          approximately  equal to 75% of that of the broader  equity  market (as
          measured by the S&P 500); or

     o    yield that  approximates at least 50% of the prevailing  average yield
          to maturity of the long-term U.S.  Government bond, as measured by the
          Lehman  Brothers  Long  Treasury Bond Index (or other similar index if
          this index is not available); or

     o    per share going concern value (as estimated by the  sub-adviser)  that
          exceeds book value and market value; or

     o    long-term debt below,  or  approximately  equivalent to,  tangible net
          worth.

    In pursuing  the equity  income  strategy,  the  sub-adviser  will invest in
income-producing securities.

    Under normal  market  conditions,  at least 65% of the Series'  total assets
will be invested in U.S.  common  stocks.  With  respect to the other 35% of its
total  assets,  the Series may invest in  income-producing  securities  that the
sub-adviser  believes  are  consistent  with the Series'  investment  objective,
common stocks of foreign issuers, American Depositary Receipts, foreign currency
transactions  with  respect  to  underlying   common  stock,   preferred  stock,
convertible  securities,  corporate  debt  obligations,  obligations of the U.S.
Government,  its agencies and instrumentalities,  repurchase  agreements,  money
market instruments,  real estate investment trusts, futures contracts,  options,
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase  common  stocks,  and securities
that  track the  performance  of a  broad-based  securities  index,  such as S&P
Depository  Receipts.  The Series  may also loan its  portfolio  securities  and
engage in short sales  "against the box." The Series may invest up to 15% of its
net assets in illiquid securities.

    The Series will emphasize  investments in securities  rated investment grade
and unrated  securities  deemed by the sub-adviser to be of comparable  quality,
but may  invest up to 35% of its assets in  securities  rated  below  investment
grade and  unrated  securities  deemed by the  sub-adviser  to be of  comparable
quality. The Series, at the discretion of the sub-adviser, may retain a security
that has been downgraded below the initial investment criteria. (See "Investment
Risks -- High  Yield/High  Risk Bonds").  The Series may invest up to 25% of its
total assets in securities of foreign  issuers,  including  American  Depositary
Receipts. (See "Investment Risks -- Foreign Securities").

    For  temporary  defensive  purposes  during  anticipated  periods of general
market  decline,  the Series may invest up to 100% of its assets in money market
instruments,  including  securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government,
its agencies or  instrumentalities  and repurchase  agreements  secured thereby,
bank certificates of deposit and banker's acceptances issued by banks having net
assets of at least $1 billion as of the end of their most  recent  fiscal  year,
high grade  commercial  paper,  and other long- and short-term debt  instruments
that are rated A or higher by Moody's or S&P. It is  impossible to predict when,
or for how long, such alternative strategies may be utilized.

    In  selecting  common  stocks to pursue  the  growth  equity  strategy,  the
sub-adviser  makes  selections  in  part  based  on its  opinion  regarding  the
sustainability of the company's competitive advantage in the marketplace as well
as the sub-adviser's  opinion of the company's  management team. The sub-adviser
will invest in companies  that,  in its  opinion,  will have  long-term  returns
greater  than  the  average  for the S&P  500.  The  sub-adviser  normally  will
reevaluate  a security if it  underperforms  the S&P 500 by 15% or more during a
three-month  period.  At that time, a decision  will be made to sell or hold the
security.  If a particular  stock  appreciates to over 5% of the total assets of
the portfolio,  the sub-adviser  generally will reduce the position to less than
5%. If the stock price  appreciates  to a level that is not  sustainable  in the
opinion of the sub-adviser,  the position  generally will be sold to realize the
existing  profits and avoid a potential  price  correction.  If the  sub-adviser
identifies a security that it considers to be a better investment than a current
holding, the sub- adviser generally will consider selling the current holding to
add the new security.

    In  selecting  common  stocks  to  pursue  the value  equity  strategy,  the
sub-adviser screens a universe of over 2500 companies.  From this universe,  the
sub-adviser  anticipates that only a few hundred companies will meet one or more
of these investment criteria.  Each of the companies is analyzed individually in
terms  of its past and  present  competitive  position  within  its  perspective
industry.  The  sub-adviser  makes  selections  based on its  projections of the
companies'   growth  in  earnings  and   dividends,   earnings   momentum,   and
undervaluation  based on a dividend  discount model.  The  sub-adviser  develops
target prices and value ranges from this analysis and makes portfolio  selection
from among the top-rated securities.  The sub-adviser  periodically monitors the
Series'  holdings  of  securities  meeting  these  criteria  to assure that they
continue to meet the selection  criteria.  A security normally will be sold once
it reaches its target  price,  when  negative  changes occur with respect to the
company or its industry,  or when there is a significant  change in the security
with respect to one or more of the four  selection  criteria  listed above.  The
Series may at times continue to hold equity  securities  that no longer meet the
criteria but that the  sub-adviser  deems  suitable  investments  in view of the
Series' investment objective.

                        JNL/EAGLE SMALLCAP EQUITY SERIES

    The  investment  objective  of  the  JNL/Eagle  SmallCap  Equity  Series  is
long-term capital appreciation. It is a diversified Series that seeks to achieve
its objective by investing primarily in the equity securities of companies, most
of which have a total  market  capitalization  of less than $1  billion  ("small
capitalization  companies").  Market  capitalization  is the  total  value  of a
company's  outstanding  common  stock.  The Series will invest in  securities of
companies that appear to the  sub-adviser to be undervalued in relation to their
long-term  earning  power or the  asset  value of their  issuers  and that  have
significant  future growth potential.  Securities may be undervalued  because of
many factors,  including  market  decline,  poor economic  conditions,  tax-loss
selling or actual or anticipated  unfavorable  developments affecting the issuer
of the security. Any or all of these factors may provide buying opportunities at
attractive  prices  relative to the  long-term  prospects  for the  companies in
question.

    The  Series  invests  primarily  in common  stocks,  but also may  invest in
preferred  stocks,  investment grade securities  convertible into common stocks,
and warrants. The Series may purchase securities traded on recognized securities
exchanges and in the  over-the-counter  market.  The Series normally  invests at
least 65% of its total  assets in the equity  securities  of  companies  each of
which, at the time of purchase,  has a total market  capitalization of less than
$1 billion.  The Series may invest its remaining  assets in American  Depositary
Receipts, U.S. Government securities,  repurchase agreements or other short-term
money market  instruments.  The Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in
illiquid securities.

    The Series will emphasize  investments in securities  rated investment grade
and unrated  securities  deemed by the sub-adviser to be of comparable  quality,
but may invest up to 5% of its assets in securities rated below investment grade
and unrated  securities  deemed by the sub-adviser to be of comparable  quality.
The Series, at the discretion of the sub-adviser, may retain a security that has
been downgraded below the initial investment criteria. (See "Investment Risks --
High Yield/High Risk Bonds").

    The sub-adviser  currently believes that investments in small capitalization
companies may offer greater opportunities for growth of capital than investments
in larger,  more  established  companies.  Investing in smaller,  newer  issuers
generally  involves  greater risks than  investing in larger,  more  established
issuers.  Companies  in which the  Series is likely to invest  may have  limited
product lines,  markets or financial resources and may be subject to more abrupt
or  erratic  market  movements  than  securities  of  larger,  more  established
companies  or  the  market  averages  in  general.   In  addition,   many  small
capitalization companies may be in the early stages of development. Accordingly,
an investment in the Series may not be appropriate for all investors.

    For  temporary  defensive  purposes  during  anticipated  periods of general
market  decline,  the Series may invest up to 100% of its assets in money market
instruments,  including  securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities  and repurchase agreements secured thereby, as
well as bank  certificates of deposit and banker's  acceptances  issued by banks
having net  assets of at least $1  billion  as of the end of their  most  recent
fiscal year,  high-grade  commercial  paper, and other long- and short-term debt
instruments  that are rated A or higher by Moody's or S&P. It is  impossible  to
predict when, or for how long, such alternative strategies may be utilized.

                 JNL/JPM INTERNATIONAL & EMERGING MARKETS SERIES

    The investment  objective of the JNL/JPM  International  & Emerging  Markets
Series is to provide high total return from a portfolio of equity  securities of
foreign  companies in developed  and, to a lesser  extent,  developing  markets.
Total return  consists of realized and unrealized  capital gains and losses plus
income.  It is a  diversified  Series  that  seeks  to  achieve  its  investment
objective by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of
non-U.S.  companies in developed  markets and, to a lesser extent,  companies in
developing markets.

    In normal circumstances,  substantially all and at least 65% of the value of
the Series' total assets are invested in equity  securities of foreign  issuers.
Equity securities  include common stocks,  preferred stocks,  warrants,  rights,
convertible  securities,  trust certificates,  limited partnership interests and
equity participations.  The Series' assets are invested in securities of issuers
located in at least three foreign countries.  The Series' equity investments may
or may not pay  dividends or carry voting  rights.  The Series'  primary  equity
investments  are  common  stocks of  established  companies  based in  developed
countries  outside the United  States.  However,  the Series will also invest in
equity  securities  of issuers  located in  developing  countries  or  "emerging
markets."  The Series  invests  in  securities  listed on  foreign  or  domestic
securities   exchanges   and   securities   traded  in   foreign   or   domestic
over-the-counter  markets,  and may invest in  certain  restricted  or  unlisted
securities.

    The  sub-adviser  considers  "emerging  markets" to be any country  which is
generally  considered to be an emerging or developing country by the World Bank,
the International  Finance  Corporation,  the United Nations or its authorities.
The Series will focus its emerging  market  investments in those countries which
it believes  have  strongly  developing  economies  and in which the markets are
becoming more  sophisticated.  An issuer in an emerging  market is one that: (i)
has its principal securities trading market in an emerging market country;  (ii)
is organized under the laws of an emerging market;  (iii) derives 50% or more of
its total revenue from either goods produced,  sales made or services  performed
in emerging markets;  or (iv) has at least 50% of its assets located in emerging
markets.

    The Series'  investments are primarily  quoted in foreign  currencies but it
may also  invest  in  securities  quoted  in the U.S.  dollar  or  multinational
currency  units such as the ECU.  Through  the use of forward  foreign  currency
exchange  contracts,  the  sub-adviser  actively  manages the  Series'  currency
exposure in developed countries.

    The Series may also invest in money market  instruments  denominated in U.S.
dollars and other  currencies,  purchase  securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis,  enter into repurchase and reverse repurchase  agreements,  loan
its portfolio  securities and purchase certain privately placed securities.  The
Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.


    The Series is permitted to invest in money market instruments denominated in
U.S. dollars and other currencies although it intends to stay invested in equity
securities  to the extent  practical  in light of its  objective.  Under  normal
circumstances,  the Series will  purchase  money  market  instruments  to invest
temporary cash balances or to maintain  liquidity to meet redemptions.  However,
the Series may also invest in money market  instruments  without limitation as a
temporary  defensive measure taken in the  sub-adviser's  judgment during, or in
anticipation of, adverse market conditions.

    The Series may purchase and sell exchange  traded and  over-the-counter  put
and call options on securities and securities indexes, purchase and sell futures
contracts on  securities  and  securities  indexes and purchase and sell put and
call options on futures contracts on securities and securities indexes.

    The Series may invest up to 10% of its total assets in shares of  investment
companies and up to 5% of its total assets in any one investment company as long
as that  investment does not represent more than 3% of the total voting stock of
the  acquired  investment  company.  Investments  in  the  securities  of  other
investment  companies  may  involve  duplication  of  advisory  fees  and  other
expenses.  Certain emerging markets are closed to investment by foreigners.  The
Series may be able to invest in issuers in certain  emerging  markets  primarily
through specifically authorized investment funds.

    The Series seeks to achieve its investment  objective  through a combination
of country allocation,  stock selection and currency management. The sub-adviser
uses a disciplined portfolio construction process to seek to enhance returns and
reduce  volatility  in the market  value of the Series.  To allocate  the Series
within  developed and  developing  markets,  the  sub-adviser  uses  fundamental
research, quantitative valuation techniques and experienced judgment to identify
those countries  whose equity prices appear most  attractive  relative to future
earnings  prospects.  Based on this  analysis,  the  sub-adviser  allocates  the
Series' assets among  countries,  emphasizing  those  countries with the highest
expected  returns  consistent  with overall  portfolio  liquidity.  Under normal
circumstances,  the sub-adviser  expects that  approximately 75% of the value of
the Series' equity investments will be in companies in developed markets and 25%
in companies in emerging markets.  The sub-adviser may vary this allocation in a
manner  consistent  with the Series'  investment  objective  and current  market
conditions.  (See "Investment Risks Foreign Securities" and "Investment Risks --
Emerging Markets").

    Using a variety of quantitative  valuation techniques and based on analysts'
industry expertise, issuers in each country are ranked within industrial sectors
according to their relative  value.  Based on this  valuation,  the  sub-adviser
selects the issuers which appear the most attractive for the Series.  The Series
will be diversified across industrial sectors in each country.

    The  sub-adviser  manages the Series  actively in pursuit of its  investment
objective.  The Series  does not expect to trade in  securities  for  short-term
profits;  however,  when circumstances  warrant,  securities may be sold without
regard  to the  length  of time  held.  To the  extent  the  Series  engages  in
short-term trading, it may incur increased transaction costs.

                       JNL/PIMCO TOTAL RETURN BOND SERIES

    The  investment  objective of the  JNL/PIMCO  Total Return Bond Series is to
seek to realize maximum total return,  consistent  with  preservation of capital
and prudent  investment  management.  It is a  diversified  Series that seeks to
achieve its  investment  objective by investing  under normal  circumstances  at
least 65% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities of
varying maturities.  The average portfolio duration of this Series will normally
vary within a three- to six-year time frame based on the sub-adviser's  forecast
for  interest  rates.  The  Series  may  invest up to 10% of its assets in fixed
income securities that are rated below investment grade but rated B or higher by
Moody's  or  S&P  (or,  if  unrated,  determined  by  the  sub-adviser  to be of
comparable  quality).  The  Series  may also  invest up to 20% of its  assets in
securities  denominated in foreign currencies,  and may invest beyond this limit
in U.S.  dollar-denominated  securities  of foreign  issuers.  The  Series  will
concentrate its foreign  investments in securities of issuers based in developed
countries, but may invest up to 10% of its assets in securities of issuers based
in emerging market countries.  Portfolio  holdings will be concentrated in areas
of the bond market  (based on quality,  sector,  coupon or  maturity)  which the
sub-adviser  believes to be relatively  undervalued.  (See  "Investment -- Risks
Foreign Securities" and "Investment Risks -- Emerging Markets").

    The Series may invest in convertible securities. It may invest in fixed- and
floating-rate loans arranged through private  negotiations  between an issuer of
debt instruments and one or more financial institutions.  Generally, the Series'
investments  in loans are expected to take the form of loan  participations  and
assignments  of portions of loans from third  parties.  The Series may engage in
credit spread trades and invest in floating  rate debt  instruments.  The Series
may also invest in inverse floating rate debt  instruments.  The Series will not
invest  more than 5% of its net assets in any  combination  of inverse  floater,
interest  only, or principal only  securities.  The Series may invest all of its
assets in mortgage- or other asset-backed securities.  The Series may invest all
of its  assets  in zero  coupon  bonds or  strips.  The  Series  may  invest  in
repurchase  agreements,  reverse  repurchase  agreements,  dollar  rolls and may
purchase or sell  securities  on a  when-issued,  delayed  delivery,  or forward
commitment  basis. The Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid
securities.

    The Series may invest in Brady Bonds and may invest in sovereign debt (other
than Brady Bonds) issued by governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, or
other  government-related  entities  located in emerging market  countries.  The
Series may buy and sell foreign currencies on a spot and forward basis to reduce
the risks of adverse changes in foreign exchange rates.

    The Series may invest in options on foreign  currencies and foreign currency
futures and  options  thereon.  The Series  also may invest in foreign  currency
exchange-related  securities,  such  as  foreign  currency  warrants  and  other
instruments  whose  return is linked to foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  The
Series  will use  these  techniques  to hedge at least  75% of its  exposure  to
foreign currency.

    The  Series may  purchase  and write  call and put  options  on  securities,
securities indexes and foreign currencies,  and enter into futures contracts and
use options on futures contracts. The Series also may enter into swap agreements
with respect to foreign currencies,  interest rates, and securities indexes. The
Series may use these  techniques  to hedge  against  changes in interest  rates,
foreign currency  exchange rates or securities  prices or as part of its overall
investment strategies. The Series may also purchase and sell options relating to
foreign currencies for purposes of increasing  exposure to a foreign currency or
to shift exposure to foreign currency  fluctuations from one country to another.
The Series will not enter into a swap agreement with any single party if the net
amount owed or to be received  under  existing  contracts  with that party would
exceed 5% of the Series' assets.

    The Series does not expect to trade in securities  for  short-term  profits;
however,  when circumstances  warrant,  securities may be sold without regard to
the length of time  held.  To the  extent  the  Series  engages  in short-  term
trading, it may incur increased transaction costs.

                            JNL/PUTNAM GROWTH SERIES

    The  investment  objective  of  the  JNL/Putnam  Growth  Series  is to  seek
long-term capital growth. It is a diversified Series that pursues its investment
objective by  retaining  maximum  flexibility  in the  management  of the Series
consisting mainly of common stocks. Since income is not an objective, any income
generated by the  investment  of the Series'  assets will be  incidental  to its
objective.

    The Series  intends to invest  primarily  in the common  stocks of companies
believed by the sub-adviser to have  opportunities for capital growth.  However,
since no one class or type of  security  at all times  necessarily  affords  the
greatest promise for capital  appreciation,  the Series may invest any amount or
proportion  of its  assets  in any  class or type of  security  believed  by the
sub-adviser  to  offer  potential  for  capital   appreciation   over  both  the
intermediate  and long term.  Normally,  of course,  its investment will consist
largely of common stocks  selected for the promise they offer of appreciation of
capital.  However,  the  Series  may also  invest in  preferred  stocks,  bonds,
convertible  preferred stocks and convertible  debentures if, in the judgment of
the  sub-adviser,  the investment would further its investment  objectives.  The
Series may invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities.  The Series
may invest up to 15% of its net assets in  illiquid  securities.  The Series may
also engage in certain  options  transactions  and enter into financial  futures
contracts and related options. Each security held will be monitored to determine
whether  it is  contributing  to the  basic  objective  of  long-term  growth of
capital.

    The sub-adviser  believes that a portfolio of such  securities  provides the
most  effective  way to obtain  capital  appreciation,  but when,  for temporary
defensive  purposes (as when market  conditions  for growth stocks are adverse),
other  types  of  investments  appear  advantageous  on the  basis  of  combined
considerations of risk and the protection of capital values,  investments may be
made in fixed income securities with or without warrants or conversion features.
In addition,  for such  temporary  defensive  purposes,  the Series may pursue a
policy  of  retaining  cash  or  investing  part  or all of its  assets  in cash
equivalents.

    To the extent that the Series holds bonds, it may be negatively  affected by
adverse  interest rate movements and credit  quality.  Generally,  when interest
rates rise it may be expected that the value of bonds may decrease.

                         JNL/PUTNAM VALUE EQUITY SERIES

    The investment  objective of the  JNL/Putnam  Value Equity Series is 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.  It is a diversified
Series that seeks  superior  market  cycle  total  returns.  The Series  invests
primarily  in  the  common  stocks  of  large  capitalization  companies  mainly
domiciled in the United  States.  Common stocks for this purpose  include common
stocks and  equivalents,  such as securities  convertible into common stocks and
securities having common stock  characteristics,  such as rights and warrants to
purchase common stocks.  Under normal  circumstances,  the Series will invest at
least 65% of the value of its total assets in equity securities.  The Series may
invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

    Companies   considered   attractive   generally   will  have  the  following
characteristics: 1) stocks typically will have distinctly above average dividend
yields,  and 2) the market prices of the stocks will be undervalued  relative to
the normal earning power of the company.  The thrust of this approach is to seek
investments  where  current  investor  enthusiasm  is low, as reflected in their
valuations.  Exposure is reduced  when the  investment  community's  perceptions
improve and the company approaches fair valuation.

    The sub-adviser  takes a long-term  investment  approach by placing a strong
emphasis  on its  ability  to  determine  attractive  values and does not try to
determine short-term changes in the general market level. It is anticipated that
the  annual  turnover  rate  of the  Series  will  not  exceed  100%  in  normal
circumstances. The Series may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the common
stocks of foreign issuers.

                      JNL/S&P CONSERVATIVE GROWTH SERIES I

    The investment  objective of the JNL/S&P  Conservative Growth Series I is to
seek capital  growth and current  income.  It is a  non-diversified  Series that
pursues its investment  objective by investing in a diversified  group of Series
of the JNL Series Trust  ("Underlying  Series").  The Underlying Series in which
the  JNL/S&P  Conservative  Growth  Series I may invest  are 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/Putnam  Growth  Series,  JNL/Putnam  Value Equity  Series,  PPM  America/JNL
Balanced Series,  PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Series,  PPM America/JNL Money
Market Series,  Salomon  Brothers/JNL Global Bond Series,  Salomon Brothers/ JNL
U.S.  Government & Quality Bond Series,  T. Rowe  Price/JNL  Established  Growth
Series, T. Rowe Price/JNL  International  Equity Investment  Series, and T. Rowe
Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Series.

    Under normal circumstances, the Series allocates approximately 55% to 65% of
its assets to Underlying Series that invest primarily in equity securities,  30%
to 40% to Underlying Series that invest primarily in fixed-income securities and
0% to 10% to  Underlying  Series that invest  primarily in money  market  funds.
Within these three asset classes,  the Series  remains  flexible with respect to
the percentage it will allocate among  particular  Underlying  Series.  When the
sub-adviser  believes  that a temporary  defensive  position is  desirable,  the
Series may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.

    The Series  seeks to achieve  capital  growth  through  its  investments  in
Underlying Series that invest primarily in equity  securities.  Such investments
may include Series that invest in stocks of large established  companies as well
as those that invest in stocks of smaller  companies with  above-average  growth
potential.

    The  Series  seeks to achieve  current  income  through  its  investment  in
Underlying  Series  that  invest  primarily  in  fixed-income  securities.  Such
investments  may  include   Underlying  Series  that  invest  in  foreign  bonds
denominated in currencies other than U.S.  dollars as well as Underlying  Series
that  invest  exclusively  in bonds of U.S.  issuers.  The  Series may invest in
Underlying Series that invest  exclusively in  investment-grade  securities,  as
well as Underlying Series that invest in high-yield bonds.

    The  allocation  of assets in the Series is  expected to result in less risk
than that  incurred by JNL/S&P  Moderate  Growth  Series I,  JNL/S&P  Aggressive
Growth Series I, JNL/S&P Very Aggressive  Growth Series I, JNL/S&P Equity Growth
Series I or JNL/S&P Equity Aggressive Growth Series I.

                        JNL/S&P MODERATE GROWTH SERIES I

    The investment  objective of the JNL/S&P Moderate Growth Series I is to seek
capital growth. Current income is a secondary objective. It is a non-diversified
Series that pursues its  investment  objectives  by  investing in a  diversified
group of Series of the JNL Series Trust  ("Underlying  Series").  The Underlying
Series in which the  JNL/S&P  Moderate  Growth  Series I may  invest are 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/Putnam  Growth  Series,   JNL/Putnam  Value  Equity  Series,   PPM
America/JNL  Balanced  Series,  PPM  America/JNL  High  Yield Bond  Series,  PPM
America/JNL  Money  Market  Series,  Salomon  Brothers/JNL  Global Bond  Series,
Salomon  Brothers/JNL  U.S.  Government & Quality Bond Series, T. Rowe Price/JNL
Established  Growth Series,  T. Rowe Price/JNL  International  Equity Investment
Series, and T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap Growth Series.

    Under normal circumstances, the Series allocates approximately 70% to 80% of
its assets to Underlying  Series that invest primarily in equity  securities and
20%  to  30%  to  Underlying   Series  that  invest  primarily  in  fixed-income
securities. Within these asset classes, the Series remains flexible with respect
to the percentage it will allocate among particular  Underlying Series. When the
sub-adviser  believes  that a temporary  defensive  position is  desirable,  the
Series may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.

    The Series  seeks to achieve  capital  growth  through  its  investments  in
Underlying Series that invest primarily in equity  securities.  Such investments
may  include  Underlying  Series  that  invest in  stocks  of large  established
companies  as well as those  that  invest in stocks of  smaller  companies  with
above-average growth potential.

    The  Series  seeks to achieve  current  income  through  its  investment  in
Underlying  Series  that  invest  primarily  in  fixed-income  securities.  Such
investments  may  include   Underlying  Series  that  invest  in  foreign  bonds
denominated in currencies other than U.S.  dollars as well as Underlying  Series
that  invest  exclusively  in bonds of U.S.  issuers.  The  Series may invest in
Underlying Series that invest  exclusively in  investment-grade  securities,  as
well as Underlying Series that invest in high-yield bonds.

    The  allocation  of assets in the Series is  expected to result in less risk
than  that  incurred  by  JNL/S&P  Aggressive  Growth  Series  I,  JNL/S&P  Very
Aggressive  Growth Series I, JNL/S&P  Equity  Growth Series I or JNL/S&P  Equity
Aggressive  Growth  Series  I, but more risk than  JNL/S&P  Conservative  Growth
Series I.

                       JNL/S&P AGGRESSIVE GROWTH SERIES I

    The primary  investment  objective of the JNL/S&P Aggressive Growth Series I
is to seek  capital  growth.  It is a  non-diversified  Series that  pursues its
investment  objective by investing in a  diversified  group of Series of the JNL
Series Trust ("Underlying  Series").  The Underlying Series in which the JNL/S&P
Aggressive Growth Series I may invest are 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/Putnam
Growth Series,  JNL/Putnam Value Equity Series, PPM America/JNL Balanced Series,
PPM America/JNL  High Yield Bond Series,  PPM  America/JNL  Money Market Series,
Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Series,  Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government &
Quality  Bond Series,  T. Rowe  Price/JNL  Established  Growth  Series,  T. Rowe
Price/JNL  International Equity Investment Series, and T. Rowe Price/JNL Mid-Cap
Growth Series.

    Under normal circumstances, the Series allocates approximately 85% to 95% of
its assets to Underlying  Series that invest primarily in equity  securities and
5% to 15% to Underlying Series that invest primarily in fixed-income securities.
Within these asset  classes,  the Series  remains  flexible  with respect to the
percentage  it will  allocate  among  particular  Underlying  Series.  When  the
sub-adviser  believes  that a temporary  defensive  position is  desirable,  the
Series may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.

    The Series seeks to achieve capital growth primarily through its investments
in  Underlying  Series  that  invest  primarily  in  equity   securities.   Such
investments  may  include  Underlying  Series  that  invest  in  stocks of large
established  companies  as well as  those  that  invest  in  stocks  of  smaller
companies with above-average growth potential.

    The  Series  seeks  to  achieve  capital  growth  secondarily   through  its
investment  in  Underlying   Series  that  invest   primarily  in   fixed-income
securities.  Such  investments  may  include  Underlying  Series  that invest in
foreign  bonds  denominated  in  currencies  other than U.S.  dollars as well as
Underlying Series that invest  exclusively in bonds of U.S. issuers.  The Series
may invest in  Underlying  Series that invest  exclusively  in  investment-grade

                    GOLDMAN SACHS/JNL GROWTH & INCOME SERIES

    The investment  objectives of the Goldman  Sachs/JNL  Growth & Income Series
are to provide  investors with long-term growth of capital and growth of income.
It is a diversified Series that invests,  under normal  circumstances,  at least
65% of its total assets in equity  securities that the sub-adviser  considers to
have  favorable  prospects  for  capital  appreciation  and/or   dividend-paying
ability.

    The  Series  may  invest  up to 35% of its  total  assets  in  fixed  income
securities  that,  in the opinion of the  sub-adviser,  offer the  potential  to
further the Series' investment objectives. In addition, although the Series will
invest primarily in publicly traded U.S. securities,  it may invest up to 25% of
its total  assets in  foreign  securities,  including  securities  of issuers in
emerging markets and countries and securities quoted in foreign currencies. (See
"Investment  Risks -- Foreign  Securities"  and  "Investment  Risks --  Emerging
Markets").

    The Series is  managed  using a value  oriented  approach.  The  sub-adviser
evaluates  securities using fundamental  analysis and intends to purchase equity
securities that are, in its view,  underpriced relative to a combination of such
companies'  long-term  earnings  prospects,  growth rate,  free cash flow and/or
dividend-paying ability.  Consideration will be given to the business quality of
the issuer.  Factors positively affecting the sub-adviser's view of that quality
include the competitiveness and degree of regulation in the markets in which the
company  operates,  the existence of a management team with a record of success,
the  position of the company in the markets in which it  operates,  the level of
the company's  financial leverage and the sustainable return on capital invested
in the business.  The Series may also purchase securities of companies that have
experienced  difficulties  and that,  in the  opinion  of the  sub-adviser,  are
available at attractive prices.

    In choosing the Series'  securities,  the  sub-adviser  utilizes  first-hand
fundamental research, including visiting company facilities to assess operations
and to meet  decision-makers.  The  sub-adviser  may also use macro  analysis of
numerous  economic  and  valuation  variables to  anticipate  changes in company
earnings and the overall investment climate.  The sub-adviser is able to draw on
the  research  and market  expertise of its  affiliates  as well as  information
provided by other securities dealers. Equity securities in the Series' portfolio
will generally be sold when the sub-adviser believes that the market price fully
reflects or exceeds the  securities'  fundamental  valuation  or when other more
attractive investments are identified.

    The Series may invest in common stocks,  preferred stocks,  U.S.  Government
securities,   convertible  debt  obligations,   convertible   preferred  stocks,
mortgage- and asset-backed  securities,  corporate debt obligations,  structured
securities,   limited   liability   companies,   equity   interests  in  trusts,
partnerships,  joint ventures and similar enterprises,  interests in real estate
investment  trusts,  warrants and stock purchase rights. The Series may purchase
when-issued  securities  and may  purchase  securities  on a forward  commitment
basis. The Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

    The Series may invest in securities of foreign issuers,  including sponsored
and unsponsored  American  Depositary  Receipts,  Global Depositary Receipts and
European  Depositary   Receipts  or  other  similar   instruments   representing
securities  of  foreign  issuers.  The Series  may,  to the extent it invests in
foreign securities, purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts
for  hedging  purposes  and to seek to protect  against  anticipated  changes in
future foreign  currency  exchange rates.  The Series may hold foreign  currency
received in  connection  with  investments  in foreign  securities  when, in the
judgment of the  sub-adviser,  it would be  beneficial  to convert such currency
into U.S. dollars at a later date, based on anticipated  changes in the relevant
exchange rate.

    The Series may invest in debt securities  rated at least investment grade at
the time of  investment  and may  invest up to 10% of its  total  assets in debt
securities which are unrated or rated in the lowest rating  categories by S&P or
Moody's,  including  securities rated D by S&P or Moody's. The lower-rated bonds
in which the Series may invest are  commonly  referred to as "junk  bonds." (See
"Investment Risks --High Yield/High Risk Bonds").

    The Series may write (sell)  covered call and put options and purchase  call
and put options on any  securities  in which it may invest or on any  securities
index  composed of  securities  in which it may  invest.  The Series may, to the
extent it invests in foreign securities,  purchase and sell call and put options
on foreign currencies for the purpose of protecting against declines in the U.S.
dollar value of foreign portfolio  securities and anticipated  dividends on such
securities and against  increases in the U.S. dollar cost of foreign  securities
to be  acquired.  The  Series may  purchase  and sell  various  kinds of futures
contracts,  and  purchase  and write call and put options on any of such futures
contracts  to seek to  increase  total  return or to hedge  against  changes  in
interest rates,  securities  prices or currency  exchange rates.  The Series may
also enter into closing purchase and sale  transactions with respect to any such
contracts and options. The futures contracts may be based on various securities,
foreign  currencies,  securities  indices and other  financial  instruments  and
indices.

    The Series may, for temporary defensive  purposes,  invest up to 100% of its
total assets in U.S. Government securities, repurchase agreements collateralized
by U.S. Government securities, commercial paper rated at least A-2 by S&P or P-2
by  Moody's,   certificates  of  deposit,   bankers'   acceptances,   repurchase
agreements,  non-convertible  preferred stocks,  non-convertible corporate bonds
with a  remaining  maturity  of less than one year or,  subject to  certain  tax
restrictions,  foreign currencies.  When the Series' assets are invested in such
instruments, the Series may not be achieving its investment objective.

                        LAZARD/JNL SMALL CAP VALUE SERIES

   
    The investment objective of the Lazard/JNL Small Cap Value Series is to seek
capital appreciation.  It is a non-diversified  Series that seeks to achieve its
investment  objective through investing primarily in equity securities of United
States  companies  with market  capitalizations  under $1 billion at the time of
purchase  that  are  believed  by the  sub-adviser  to be  inexpensively  priced
relative  to the return on total  capital or equity.  The equity  securities  in
which the Series may invest include common stocks, preferred stocks,  securities
convertible into or exchangeable  for common stocks,  rights and warrants listed
on national or regional securities  exchanges or traded  over-the-counter,  real
estate  investment   trusts  and  American  and  Global   Depositary   Receipts.
Investments  are generally made in equity  securities of companies  which in the
sub-adviser's opinion have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) are
undervalued  relative to their earnings power,  cash flow,  and/or asset values;
(ii) have an  attractive  price/value  relationship,  i.e.  have high returns on
equity   and/or   assets   with   correspondingly   low   price-to-book   and/or
price-to-asset  value as  compared  to the market  generally  or the  companies'
industry groups in particular,  with  expectations that some catalyst will cause
the  perception of value to change  within a 24-month  time horizon;  (iii) have
experienced significant relative  underperformance and are out of favor due to a
set of  circumstances  which  are  unlikely  to harm a  company's  franchise  or
earnings power over the longer term;  (iv) have low projected  price-to-earnings
or price-to-cash-flow multiples relative to their industry peer group and/or the
market in general;  (v) have the prospect,  or the industry in which the company
operates has the prospect, to allow it to become a larger factor in the business
and receive a higher valuation as such; (vi) have significant financial leverage
but have high  levels of free cash  flow  used to reduce  leverage  and  enhance
shareholder  value; and (vii) have a relatively short corporate history with the
expectation  that the  business  may grow to generate  meaningful  cash flow and
earnings over a reasonable investment horizon.
    

    Under normal market  conditions,  the Series will invest at least 80% of the
value  of  its  total  assets  in the  small  capitalization  equity  securities
described above.

    The  sub-adviser  believes that the issuers of small  capitalization  stocks
often  have  sales  and  earnings  growth  rates  which  exceed  those of larger
companies,  and that such growth  rates may in turn be  reflected  in more rapid
share price appreciation,  however,  investing in smaller  capitalization stocks
can involve  greater  risk than is  customarily  associated  with  larger,  more
established companies.  For example, smaller capitalization companies often have
limited product lines, markets or financial resources. They may be dependent for
management on one or a few key persons,  and can be more  susceptible  to losses
and risks of bankruptcy. Also, securities in the small capitalization sector may
be thinly  traded  (and  therefore  have to be sold at a discount  from  current
market  prices or sold in small lots over an  extended  period of time),  may be
followed by fewer investment research analysts and may be subject to wider price
swings and thus may create a greater chance of loss than investing in securities
of large capitalization companies.

    The sub-adviser  continually  evaluates the securities  owned by the Series,
and changes may be made whenever the  sub-adviser  determines such securities no
longer meet the Series' investment objective. Portfolio changes also may be made
to increase or decrease  investments  in  anticipation  of changes in securities
prices in general or to provide funds required for redemptions, distributions to
shareholders or other corporate purposes.

    The Series  may at any time  invest  funds  awaiting  investment  or held as
reserves  for  the  purposes  of  satisfying  redemption  requests,  payment  of
dividends or making other  distributions,  in cash and  short-term  money market
instruments; provided, however, that such investments will not ordinarily exceed
5% of the total  assets of the  Series.  The Series may  purchase  floating  and
variable  rate  obligations  of the same  quality as it  otherwise is allowed to
purchase.  The Series may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. The Series
may invest in  securities  of companies  that have  operated for less than three
years,  including the operations of  predecessors.  It will not make investments
that will  result in more than 10% of its total  assets  being  invested  in the
securities  of  unseasoned  companies.  The Series may invest in  warrants.  The
Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

    In addition, the Series may engage in various investment techniques, such as
options and futures  transactions,  foreign currency  transactions,  leveraging,
short-selling and lending portfolio securities.

    When, in the judgment of the sub-adviser,  business or financial  conditions
warrant, the Series may assume a temporary defensive position and invest without
limitation  in  large  capitalization   companies  or  short-term  money  market
instruments or hold its assets in cash.

                         LAZARD/JNL MID CAP VALUE SERIES

    The  investment  objective of the Lazard/JNL Mid Cap Value Series is to seek
capital appreciation.  It is a non-diversified  Series that seeks to achieve its
investment  objective by  investing  primarily  in equity  securities  of United
States  companies  with  market   capitalizations  in  the  range  of  companies
represented  in  the  Russell  Midcap  Index  that  the  sub-adviser   considers
inexpensively  priced relative to the return on total capital or equity.  Market
capitalization  of a  company's  stock is its market  price per share  times the
number of shares  outstanding.  The Russell  Midcap Index is composed of the 800
smallest  companies in the Russell 1000 Index. As of the latest  reconstitution,
the Russell Midcap Index had a dollar-weighted  average market capitalization of
approximately  $4.8 billion and a median  capitalization  of approximately  $2.7
billion.  The equity  securities in which the Series may invest  include  common
stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common
stocks,  rights and  warrants,  real estate  investment  trusts and American and
Global Depositary Receipts.

    Under normal market  conditions,  the Series will invest at least 80% of the
value of its  total  assets  in the  equity  securities  of  undervalued  medium
capitalization  issuers. Assets not invested in such equity securities generally
will be invested in the equity  securities of larger  capitalization  issuers or
debt securities,  including cash  equivalents.  The Series also may invest up to
15% of its total  assets in foreign  equity or debt  securities.  The Series may
invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

    When,  in the  sub-adviser's  judgment,  business  or  financial  conditions
warrant, the Series may assume a temporary defensive position and invest without
limitation  in  large  capitalization   companies  or  short-term  money  market
instruments.

    In addition, the Series may engage in various investment techniques, such as
options and futures  transactions,  foreign currency  transactions,  leveraging,
short-selling and lending portfolio securities.

                         PPM AMERICA/JNL BALANCED SERIES

    The investment  objective of the PPM America/JNL  Balanced Series is to seek
reasonable income, long-term capital growth and preservation of capital. It is a
diversified  Series that  intends to invest based on combined  consideration  of
risk, income,  capital enhancement,  and protection of capital value. The Series
may invest in any type or class of security. Normally, the Series will invest in
common  stocks  and fixed  income  securities;  however,  it may also  invest in
securities  convertible  into  common  stocks.  At least 25% of the value of its
assets will be invested in fixed income senior securities.

   
    The Series may also engage in certain  options  transactions  and enter into
financial  futures  contracts and related  options for hedging  purposes and may
invest in deferred debt obligations. The Series may invest without limit in zero
coupon  bonds.  The Series  may  invest up to 15% of its net assets in  illiquid
securities.  In  implementing  the  investment  objectives  of this Series,  the
sub-adviser will select securities believed to have potential for the production
of current  income,  with  emphasis on securities  that also have  potential for
capital  enhancement.  For temporary  defensive  purposes  when the  sub-adviser
believes that adverse market conditions warrant,  the Series may actively pursue
a policy  of  retaining  cash or  investing  part or all of its  assets  in cash
equivalents, such as government securities and high grade commercial paper.
    

    The Series will  emphasize  investments  in  investment  grade fixed  income
securities  which are rated within the four  highest  categories  by  recognized
rating agencies,  e.g., S&P and Moody's.  However,  the Series may take a modest
position in lower or non-rated fixed income securities,  but the Series will not
invest more than 35% of its net assets, determined at the time of investment, in
high yield,  high risk fixed income  securities.  The Series may invest in bonds
rated as low as Ca by Moody's or CC by S&P. A fixed income  securities issue may
have its ratings reduced below the minimum permitted for purchase by the Series.
In that event the sub-adviser will determine  whether the Series should continue
to hold such issue in its portfolio.  If, in the sub-adviser's  opinion,  market
conditions  warrant,  the Series may increase its position in lower or non-rated
securities  from  time to  time.  The  lower  rated  and  non-rated  convertible
securities are  predominantly  speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity
to repay  principal  and pay  interest.  Investment in lower rated and non-rated
convertible fixed income securities normally involves a greater degree of market
and credit risk than does investment in securities  having higher  ratings.  The
price of these fixed income securities will generally move in inverse proportion
to interest rates. In addition,  non-rated  securities are often less marketable
than rated  securities.  To the extent that the Series  holds any lower rated or
non-rated  securities,  it  may  be  negatively  affected  by  adverse  economic
developments, increased volatility and lack of liquidity. (See "Investment Risks
High Yield/High Risk Bonds").

                     PPM AMERICA/JNL HIGH YIELD BOND SERIES

    The primary  investment  objective  of the PPM  America/JNL  High Yield Bond
Series is 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. It is a
diversified Series.

    Under normal market conditions, the Series will be invested substantially in
long-term  (over 10 years to maturity) and  intermediate-term  (3 to 10 years to
maturity)   fixed  income   securities,   with   emphasis  on   higher-yielding,
higher-risk, lower-rated or unrated corporate bonds. These high risk, high yield
bonds typically are subject to greater market  fluctuations  and risk of loss of
income  and  principal  due to default by the  issuer  than are  investments  in
lower-yielding,  higher-rated  bonds.  (See "Investment Risks -- High Yield/High
Risk Bonds").

    High risk, high yield bonds generally include any bonds that are rated Ba or
below by Moody's or BB or below by S&P or that are unrated but considered by the
sub-adviser to be of equivalent  credit  quality.  Bonds rated Ba or BB or below
are considered  speculative.  The Series may invest without  limitation in bonds
rated as low as Ca by  Moody's or C by S&P (or  unrated  but  considered  by the
sub-adviser to be of equivalent quality). In addition,  the Series may invest up
to 10% of its total  assets in bonds  rated C by Moody's or D by S&P (or unrated
but considered by the sub-adviser to be of equivalent quality). High yield bonds
are riskier than lower-yielding, higher-rated bonds.

    In pursuing its secondary investment objective of capital appreciation,  the
Series may  purchase  high yield bonds that are expected by the  sub-adviser  to
increase  in value due to  improvements  in their  credit  quality or ratings or
anticipated  declines in interest rates. In addition,  the Series may invest for
this  purpose  up to 25% of its  assets  in  equity  securities,  such as common
stocks,  or other  securities  having common stock  characteristics.  Securities
designated as having common stock  characteristics  include, but are not limited
to, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.

    Treating high current income as its primary investment  objective means that
the Series may forego  opportunities  that would result in capital gains and may
accept  prudent  risks to  capital  value,  in each  case to take  advantage  of
opportunities for higher current income.

   
    Up to 25% of the Series'  assets may be invested  in  securities  of foreign
issuers,  which are  generally  denominated  in  currencies  other than the U.S.
dollar.  The  Series  also has the  ability  to hold a portion  of its assets in
foreign   currencies  and  to  enter  into  forward  foreign  currency  exchange
contracts,  currency  options,  currency and financial  futures  contracts,  and
options  on such  futures  contracts.  The  Series  may  enter  into  repurchase
agreements  and firm  commitment  agreements  and may purchase  securities  on a
when-issued basis. The Series may invest without limit in zero coupon bonds. The
Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Investment
in foreign securities also involves special risks.
    

    Under normal market  conditions,  the Series will invest at least 65% of its
total assets in high risk, high yield bonds as described above.  Subject to this
requirement,  the  Series  may  maintain  assets  in cash  or cash  equivalents,
including  commercial  bank  obligations  (certificates  of  deposit,  which are
interest-bearing time deposits; bankers' acceptances, which are time drafts on a
commercial  bank for which the bank accepts an irrevocable  obligation to pay at
maturity;  and demand or time  deposits),  commercial  paper  (short-term  notes
issued  by  corporations  or  governmental  bodies)  and  obligations  issued or
guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government.  The Series may adopt  temporary  defensive
position   investment   policies  during  adverse  market,   economic  or  other
circumstances that require immediate action to avoid losses. During periods when
and to the extent that the Series has assumed a  temporary  defensive  position,
the Series may not be pursuing its investment objective.

                       PPM AMERICA/JNL MONEY MARKET SERIES

    The investment  objective of the PPM  America/JNL  Money Market Series is to
achieve as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation
of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing in high quality, short-term
money market instruments. It is a diversified Series that pursues its investment
objective by  investing  mainly in debt,  but the Series  shall  retain  maximum
flexibility in the management of its portfolio.

    The  Series  invests  in  high  quality  money  market  instruments.   These
instruments are considered to be among the safest investments  available because
of their short maturities, liquidity and high quality ratings.

    This Series will invest  exclusively in the following types of high quality,
U.S.  dollar  denominated  money market  instruments  that mature in 397 days or
less:

     o    Obligations  issued or  guaranteed as to principal and interest by the
          U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities.

     o    Obligations,  such as  time  deposits,  certificates  of  deposit  and
          bankers  acceptances,  issued by U.S. banks and savings banks that are
          members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,  including their
          foreign branches and foreign subsidiaries,  and issued by domestic and
          foreign branches of foreign banks.

     o    Corporate  obligations,  including  commercial  paper, of domestic and
          foreign issuers.

     o    Obligations issued or guaranteed by one or more foreign governments or
          any of their political  subdivisions,  agencies or  instrumentalities,
          including obligations of supranational entities.

     o    Repurchase  agreements on obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
          Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

    Investments are managed to meet the quality and diversification requirements
of the 1940 Act.  Under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Series must maintain a
dollar-weighted  average  portfolio  maturity  of 90 days or less  and may  only
purchase U.S.  dollar  denominated  instruments  that are  determined to present
minimal  credit risks and that at the time of  acquisition  are rated in the top
two  rating   categories  by  the  required  number  of  nationally   recognized
statistical rating organizations (at least two or, if only one rating agency has
rated the security,  that one agency) or, if unrated,  are deemed  comparable in
quality.  Determination  of  credit  risks  and  quality  will  be  made  by the
sub-adviser  in  accordance  with  procedures  adopted by the  Trust's  Board of
Trustees.  The diversification  requirements of Rule 2a-7 provide generally that
the Series may not at the time of acquisition  invest more than 5% of its assets
in  securities  of any one  issuer  or  invest  more  than 5% of its  assets  in
securities  that have not been rated in the  highest  category  by the  required
number of rating  agencies  or, if  unrated,  have not been  deemed  comparable,
except U.S. Government  securities and repurchase agreements on such securities.
A more complete description of the rating categories is set forth under Appendix
A.

    The  Series  may invest  more than 25% of its total  assets in the  domestic
banking  industry,  which would cause the Series to be more exposed to the risks
of such industry.  Bank obligations held by the Series do not benefit materially
from  insurance  from  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation.   The  25%
limitation does not apply to U.S. Government  securities,  including obligations
issued or guaranteed by its agencies or instrumentalities. The Series may invest
up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

                      SALOMON BROTHERS/JNL BALANCED SERIES

    The investment objective of the Salomon  Brothers/JNL  Balanced Series is to
seek to obtain  above-average  income (compared to a portfolio entirely invested
in equity  securities).  The Series' secondary objective is to take advantage of
opportunities for growth of capital and income. It is a diversified  Series that
seeks to achieve its  investment  objectives  by investing in a broad variety of
securities, including equity securities,  fixed-income securities and short-term
obligations.  The Series may vary the  percentage of assets  invested in any one
type of security  in  accordance  with the  sub-adviser's  view of existing  and
anticipated  economic  and market  conditions,  fiscal and  monetary  policy and
underlying  security values.  Under normal market conditions,  it is anticipated
that at least  40% of the  Series'  total  assets  will be  invested  in  equity
securities.

    Equity  securities  in which  the  Series  may  invest  include  common  and
preferred  stock  (including  convertible  preferred  stock),  bonds,  notes and
debentures  convertible into common or preferred stock,  stock purchase warrants
and rights, equity interests in trusts, partnerships,  joint ventures or similar
enterprises and American,  Global or other types of Depositary Receipts. Most of
the equity  securities  purchased  by the Series are  expected to be traded on a
stock exchange or in an over-the-counter market.

    The  sub-adviser  will  have  discretion  to  invest  in the  full  range of
maturities of fixed-income securities.  Generally, most of the Series' long-term
debt  investments  will  consist  of  "investment  grade"  securities;  that is,
securities  rated Baa or better by  Moody's  or BBB or better by S&P or Fitch or
determined  by the  sub-adviser  to be of  comparable  quality to  securities so
rated.  Up to 20% of the Series'  net assets may be  invested in  nonconvertible
fixed income  securities that are rated Ba or lower by Moody's or BB or lower by
S&P or Fitch or determined by the sub-adviser to be of comparable quality. These
securities  are commonly  known as "junk bonds." There is no limit on the amount
of the Series' assets that can be invested in convertible securities rated below
investment grade. (See "Investment Risks -- High Yield/High Risk Bonds").

    In  addition to  corporate  debt  securities,  the Series may invest in U.S.
Government  securities  and  mortgage-backed  securities.  The  U.S.  Government
securities in which the Series may invest include (i) U.S. Treasury obligations;
(ii) obligations  issued or guaranteed by agencies or  instrumentalities  of the
U.S.  Government  which are  backed by their own credit and may not be backed by
the  full  faith  and  credit  of the  U.S.  Government;  (iii)  mortgage-backed
securities  guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage  Association that are
supported  by  the  full  faith  and  credit  of  the  U.S.   Government;   (iv)
mortgage-backed  securities  guaranteed by agencies or  instrumentalities of the
U.S.  Government  which are supported by their own credit but not the full faith
and  credit of the U.S.  Government,  such as the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage
Corporation   and  the   Federal   National   Mortgage   Association;   and  (v)
collateralized  mortgage  obligations  issued by private  issuers  for which the
underlying  mortgage-backed  securities  serving as collateral are backed by the
credit alone of the U.S.  Government agency or  instrumentality  which issues or
guarantees the mortgage-backed securities or by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government.  The mortgage-backed  securities in which the Series may invest
represent  participating  interests in pools of fixed rate and  adjustable  rate
residential mortgage loans issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities
of the U.S.  Government.  The Series may also purchase privately issued mortgage
securities  which are not  guaranteed by the U.S.  Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities.

    The  Series  may  invest  in  corporate  asset-backed  securities  that have
thirteen  months or less  remaining  to  maturity  and are rated in the  highest
rating  category  by at  least  two  nationally  recognized  statistical  rating
organizations  ("NRSROs")  or by one  NRSRO  if only one  NRSRO  has  rated  the
security  or,  if not  rated,  deemed  by the  sub-adviser  to be of  comparable
quality.

    Other fixed income  securities  in which the Series may invest  include zero
coupon bonds, deferred interest bonds and bonds on which the interest is payable
in kind.  The  Series  may  invest up to 20% (and  generally  expects  to invest
between  10% and 20%) of its  total  assets  in  foreign  securities  (including
American Depositary  Receipts).  (See "Investment Risks -- Foreign Securities").
The  Series  may  invest a  portion  of its  assets in loan  participations  and
assignments.  The  Series  may enter  into  repurchase  agreements  and  reverse
repurchase  agreements,  may purchase  securities  on a firm  commitment  basis,
including when-issued securities,  and may lend portfolio securities. The Series
will not invest more than 10% of its assets in repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days.

    The Series may  purchase  securities  for which  there is a limited  trading
market or which are subject to restrictions on resale to the public.  The Series
will not  invest  more  than 15% of the value of its  total  assets in  illiquid
securities,  such as "restricted  securities" which are illiquid, and securities
that are not readily marketable.

    The Series  may use the  following  investment  strategies  to hedge  market
risks, to manage the effective  maturity or duration of debt instruments held by
the Series,  or to seek to increase  the Series'  income or gains:  purchase and
sell interest  rate,  stock or bond index futures  contracts;  purchase and sell
exchange listed and over-the-counter put and call options on securities, futures
contracts, indices and other financial instruments; and enter into interest rate
transactions,  equity  swaps and related  transactions,  invest in indexed  debt
securities and other similar  transactions  which may be developed to the extent
the sub-adviser  determines that they are consistent with the Series' investment
objective  and  policies and  applicable  regulatory  requirements.  The Series'
interest rate transactions may take the form of swaps, caps, floors and collars.

                     SALOMON BROTHERS/JNL GLOBAL BOND SERIES

    The primary  investment  objective of the Salomon  Brothers/JNL  Global Bond
Series is to seek a high level of current income. As a secondary objective,  the
Series will seek capital  appreciation.  It is a diversified  Series. 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 assets among  certain  segments of the fixed  income  market that the
sub-adviser  believes  will best  contribute to the  achievement  of the Series'
objectives. At any point in time, the sub-adviser will deploy the Series' assets
based on its analysis of current economic and market conditions and the relative
risks  and  opportunities  present  in  the  following  market  segments:   U.S.
Government  obligations,  investment  grade domestic  corporate debt, high yield
domestic  corporate debt securities,  mortgage-backed  securities and investment
grade and high yield  foreign  corporate  and  sovereign  debt  securities.  The
Series'  sub-adviser  and the Trust's  investment  adviser  have entered into an
agreement with the sub-adviser's London-based affiliate,  Salomon Brothers Asset
Management  Limited ("SBAM Limited") pursuant to which SBAM Limited will provide
certain advisory services to the sub-adviser  relating to currency  transactions
and investments in non-dollar denominated debt securities for the benefit of the
Series.

    The sub-adviser  will determine the amount of assets to be allocated to each
type of  security  in which it invests  based on its  assessment  of the maximum
level of income and capital  appreciation  that can be achieved from a portfolio
which is  invested  in these  securities.  In  making  this  determination,  the
sub-adviser will rely in part on quantitative analytical techniques that measure
relative risks and  opportunities  of each type of security based on current and
historical  economic,  market,  political  and  technical  data for each type of
security,  as well as on its own  assessment  of economic and market  conditions
both on a global and local (country) basis. In performing quantitative analysis,
the  sub-adviser  will employ  prepayment  analysis and option  adjusted  spread
technology to evaluate mortgage securities, mean variance optimization models to
evaluate foreign debt  securities,  and total rate of return analysis to measure
relative risks and opportunities in other fixed income markets. Economic factors
considered  will include  current and projected  levels of growth and inflation,
balance of payments,  status and monetary  policy.  The  allocation of assets to
foreign  debt  securities  will  further be  influenced  by current and expected
currency relationships and political and sovereign factors. The sub-adviser will
continuously  review this  allocation of assets and make such  adjustments as it
deems appropriate.  The Series does not plan to establish a minimum or a maximum
percentage  of the assets which it will invest in any  particular  type of fixed
income security.

    In addition,  the  sub-adviser  will have  discretion to select the range of
maturities of the various fixed income  securities in which the Series  invests.
The  sub-adviser  anticipates  that under current market  conditions the Series'
portfolio  securities  will  have a  weighted  average  life  of 6 to 10  years.
However,  the  weighted  average  life  of the  portfolio  securities  may  vary
substantially from time to time depending on economic and market conditions. The
Series may adopt temporary defensive position investment policies during adverse
market,  economic or other  circumstances that require immediate action to avoid
losses.  During  periods  when and to the extent  that the Series has  assumed a
temporary  defensive  position,  the Series may not be pursuing  its  investment
objective.

    The  investment  grade  corporate debt  securities and the investment  grade
foreign debt  securities  to be purchased by the Series are domestic and foreign
debt securities  rated within the four highest bond ratings of either Moody's or
S&P, or, if unrated,  deemed to be of  equivalent  quality in the  sub-adviser's
judgment.  While debt securities carrying the fourth highest quality rating (Baa
by Moody's or BBB by S&P) are considered investment grade and are viewed to have
adequate  capacity for payment of principal  and interest,  investments  in such
securities involve a higher degree of risk than that associated with investments
in debt securities in the higher rating categories and such debt securities lack
outstanding   investment   characteristics   and  in   fact   have   speculative
characteristics  as well. For example,  changes in economic  conditions or other
circumstances  are more likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to make principal
and interest payments than is the case with higher grade debt securities.

    The Series may purchase  U.S.  Government  obligations  and  mortgage-backed
securities.  In addition,  the Series may  purchase  privately  issued  mortgage
securities  which are not  guaranteed by the U.S.  Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities  and may  purchase  stripped  mortgage  securities,  including
interest-only and principal-only securities. Additional information with respect
to  securities  to be  purchased  by the  Series  is set forth  below  under the
sections  entitled  "Common Types of Securities  and  Management  Practices" and
"Investment Risks."

    The Series may invest in debt obligations  issued or guaranteed by a foreign
sovereign  government or one of its agencies or political  subdivisions and debt
obligations issued or guaranteed by supranational  organizations.  Supranational
entities  include  international   organizations   designated  or  supported  by
governmental  entities to promote  economic  reconstruction  or development  and
international  banking  institutions and related government  agencies.  Examples
include the International  Bank for  Reconstruction  and Development (the "World
Bank"),  the European Coal and Steel Community,  the Asian  Development Bank and
the Inter-American  Development Bank. Such supranational  issued instruments may
be denominated in multi-national currency units.

    In pursuing the Series' investment objectives, the Series reserves the right
to invest predominantly in medium or lower-rated securities. Although the Series
has the  ability to invest up to 100% of its assets in  lower-rated  securities,
the Series'  sub-adviser  does not anticipate  investing in excess of 75% of the
Series'   assets  in  such   securities.   Investments   of  this  type  involve
significantly  greater risks,  including price volatility and risk of default in
the payment of interest  and  principal,  than  higher-quality  securities.  The
sub-adviser  anticipates  that under current  market  conditions,  a significant
portion of the Series  assets  will be  invested  in such high risk,  high yield
securities.  By investing a portion of the Series'  assets in  securities  rated
below investment grade as well as through investments in mortgage securities and
foreign debt  securities,  the sub-adviser  expects to provide  investors with a
higher yield than a high-quality  domestic  corporate bond fund.  Certain of the
debt  securities  in which the  Series  may  invest  may be rated as low as C by
Moody's or D by S&P or may be considered  comparable  to securities  having such
ratings.  Medium and lower-rated  securities are considered to be  predominantly
speculative  with  respect to the  issuer's  capacity to pay  interest and repay
principal.

    In light of the risks  associated  with high yield  corporate  and sovereign
debt securities, the sub-adviser will take various factors into consideration in
evaluating the  creditworthiness  of an issuer.  For corporate debt  securities,
these will typically include the issuer's financial  resources,  its sensitivity
to economic  conditions and trends, the operating history of the issuer, and the
experience  and track  record of the issuer's  management.  For  sovereign  debt
instruments,  these will typically include the economic and political conditions
within the issuer's  country,  the issuer's overall and external debt levels and
debt service ratios, the issuer's access to capital markets and other sources of
funding,  and the issuer's debt service payment  history.  The sub-adviser  will
also review the  ratings,  if any,  assigned to the  security by any  recognized
rating agencies, although the sub-adviser's judgment as to the quality of a debt
security  may differ from that  suggested  by the rating  published  by a rating
service.  The Series'  ability to achieve its  investment  objective may be more
dependent  on the  sub-adviser's  credit  analysis  than would be the case if it
invested in higher quality debt securities.

    The high yield  sovereign debt securities in which the Series may invest are
U.S.  dollar-denominated debt securities,  including Brady Bonds, and non-dollar
denominated  debt  securities  that are issued or guaranteed by  governments  or
governmental  entities of developing  and emerging  countries.  The  sub-adviser
expects that these  countries will consist  primarily of those which have issued
or have announced  plans to issue Brady Bonds,  but the portfolio is not limited
to  investing  in the debt of such  countries.  Brady Bonds are debt  securities
issued under the framework of the Brady Plan, an initiative  announced by former
U.S.  Treasury  Secretary  Nicholas F. Brady in 1989 as a  mechanism  for debtor
nations to restructure their outstanding external indebtedness. (See "Investment
Risks High Yield/High Risk Bonds"). The sub-adviser anticipates that the Series'
initial  investments  in sovereign debt will be  concentrated  in Latin American
countries,  including  Mexico  and  Central  and South  American  and  Caribbean
countries. The sub-adviser expects to take advantage of additional opportunities
for  investment  in the debt of North  African  countries,  such as Nigeria  and
Morocco,  Eastern European countries,  such as Poland and Hungary, and Southeast
Asian  countries,  such as the  Philippines.  Sovereign  governments may include
national,  provincial, state, municipal or other foreign governments with taxing
authority.  Governmental entities may include the agencies and instrumentalities
of such governments,  as well as state-owned  enterprises.  (For a more detailed
discussion of high yield sovereign debt  securities,  see  "Investment  Risks --
High Yield/High Risk Bonds").

    The Series  will be subject to special  risks as a result of its  ability to
invest up to 100% of its assets in foreign securities (including emerging market
securities).  Such securities may be non-U.S. dollar denominated and there is no
limit on the percentage of the Series' assets that can be invested in non-dollar
denominated  securities.  The sub-adviser anticipates that, under current market
conditions,  a  significant  portion of the  Series'  assets will be invested in
foreign  securities.  (See  "Investment  Risks").  The  ability  to  spread  its
investments  among the fixed income  markets in a number of different  countries
may,  however,  reduce  the  overall  level or market  risk to the extent it may
reduce the Series' exposure to a single market.

    The Series may invest in zero coupon securities and pay-in-kind  bonds. (See
"Common Types of Securities and Management Practices").  In addition, the Series
may  invest  in  fixed  and  floating  rate  loans  arranged   through   private
negotiations  between a corporate borrower or a foreign sovereign entity and one
or more financial institutions.  The Series may invest in such loans in the form
of  participations  in loans and  assignments  of all or a portion of loans from
third parties.  The Series considers these investments to be investments in debt
securities for purposes of this Prospectus.

    The Series may invest up to 20% of its assets in common  stock,  convertible
securities, warrants, preferred stock or other equity securities when consistent
with the  Series'  objectives.  The  Series  will  generally  hold  such  equity
investments  as a  result  of  purchases  of  unit  offerings  of  fixed  income
securities  which include such  securities  or in  connection  with an actual or
proposed  conversion  or  exchange  of  fixed  income  securities,  but may also
purchase equity  securities not associated with fixed income securities when, in
the opinion of the sub-adviser, such purchase is appropriate.

    The Series currently  intends to invest  substantially  all of its assets in
fixed income securities. In order to maintain liquidity, however, the Series may
invest  up to  20%  of  its  assets  in  high-quality  short-term  money  market
instruments. If at some future date, in the opinion of the sub-adviser,  adverse
conditions  prevail in the market for fixed  income  securities,  the Series for
temporary defensive purposes may invest its assets without limit in high-quality
short-term money market instruments.

    The Series may enter into  repurchase  and  reverse  repurchase  agreements,
purchase   securities  on  a  firm  commitment  basis,   including   when-issued
securities,  enter into mortgage  "dollar rolls" and lend portfolio  securities.
The Series will not make loans of portfolio securities with a value in excess of
25% of the  Series'  total  assets.  The  Series may invest up to 15% of its net
assets in illiquid securities.  The Series may also enter into options,  futures
and currency transactions, although with the exception of currency transactions,
it is not presently anticipated that any of these strategies will be utilized to
a  significant  degree by the  Series.  (See  "Common  Types of  Securities  and
Management  Practices" and  "Investment  Risks").  The Series' ability to pursue
certain of these  strategies  may be limited by  applicable  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and
the  federal  income  tax  requirements   applicable  to  regulated   investment
companies.

                   SALOMON BROTHERS/JNL HIGH YIELD BOND SERIES

    The investment  objective of the Salomon Brothers/JNL High Yield Bond Series
is to maximize current income.  As a secondary  objective,  the Series will seek
capital  appreciation.  It is a  diversified  Series  that seeks to achieve  its
objectives  by  investing  primarily  in a  diversified  portfolio of high yield
fixed-income securities rated in medium or lower rating categories or determined
by the  sub-adviser to be of comparable  quality.  The Series intends to invest,
under  normal  market   conditions,   at  least  80%  of  its  total  assets  in
non-investment grade fixed-income  securities (e.g., bonds,  debentures,  notes,
equipment lease certificates,  equipment trust  certificates,  conditional sales
contracts, commercial paper and other obligations and preferred stock).

    The debt  obligations  in which the Series  will  invest  generally  will be
rated, at the time of investment, "Ba" or "B" or lower by Moody's or "BB" or "B"
or lower by S&P, or determined by the  sub-adviser to be of comparable  quality.
Debt  securities  rated by both Moody's and S&P need only satisfy the  foregoing
ratings  standards  with  respect to either the Moody's or the S&P  rating.  The
Series is not  required to dispose of a debt  security  if its credit  rating or
credit quality declines.  Medium and low-rated and comparable unrated securities
offer yields that  fluctuate over time, but generally are superior to the yields
offered by higher  rated  securities.  However,  such  securities  also  involve
significantly  greater risks,  including price volatility and risk of default in
the payment of interest and principal, than higher-rated securities.  Certain of
the debt securities  purchased by the Series may be rated as low as C by Moody's
or D by S&P or may be comparable to securities so rated.  The lower-rated  bonds
in which the  Series may invest are  commonly  referred  to as "junk  bonds." An
investment  in the Series  should  not be  considered  as a complete  investment
program. (See "Investment Risks -- High Yield/High Risk Bonds").

    In light of the  risks  associated  with high  yield  debt  securities,  the
sub-adviser  will take various  factors into  consideration  in  evaluating  the
creditworthiness  of an  issuer.  For  corporate  debt  securities,  these  will
typically include the issuer's financial resources,  its sensitivity to economic
conditions and trends,  the operating history of the issuer,  and the experience
and track record of the issuer's  management.  For sovereign  debt  instruments,
these will typically  include the economic and political  conditions  within the
issuer's country, the issuer's overall and external debt levels and debt service
ratios, the issuer's access to capital markets and other sources of funding, and
the issuer's debt service  payment  history.  The  investment  manager will also
review the ratings,  if any,  assigned to the security by any recognized  rating
agencies, although the investment manager's judgment as to the quality of a debt
security  may differ from that  suggested  by the rating  published  by a rating
service.  The Series'  ability to achieve its investment  objectives may be more
dependent  on the  sub-adviser's  credit  analysis  than would be the case if it
invested in higher quality debt securities.

    The  sub-adviser  will have  discretion to select the range of maturities of
the  fixed-income  securities  in which the Series may invest.  The  sub-adviser
anticipates  that under  current  market  conditions,  the  Series  will have an
average  portfolio  maturity of 10 to 15 years.  However,  the average portfolio
maturity  may vary  substantially  from time to time  depending  on economic and
market conditions.

    The Series may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities of foreign
issuers and up to 5% of its total assets in foreign  governmental issuers in any
one country.  The foreign  securities  in which the Series may invest,  all or a
portion  of  which  may  be  non-U.S.  dollar  denominated,  include:  (a)  debt
obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  by  foreign  national,  provincial,  state,
municipal or other  governments  with taxing  authority or by their  agencies or
instrumentalities,  including Brady Bonds; (b) debt obligations of supranational
entities;  (c) debt  obligations  of the U.S.  Government  issued in  non-dollar
securities;  (d) debt obligations and other  fixed-income  securities of foreign
corporate issuers;  and (e) U.S.  corporate issuers.  There is no minimum rating
criteria for the Series' investments in such securities.

    The  Series  may  also  invest  without  limit  in zero  coupon  securities,
pay-in-kind  bonds and deferred payment  securities,  which involve special risk
considerations.  The Series may invest in fixed and floating rate loans arranged
through private negotiations between a corporate borrower or a foreign sovereign
entity  and one or more  financial  institutions.  The Series may invest in such
loans in the form of participations in loans and assignments of all or a portion
of loans from third  parties.  (See  "Securities  and  Management  Practices  --
Participations and Assignments").

    The Series may invest up to 10% of its total assets in either (1)  equipment
lease certificates, equipment trust certificates and conditional sales contracts
or (2)  limited  partnership  interests.  The Series may invest up to 10% of its
total assets in common stock,  convertible securities,  warrants or other equity
securities  (other  than  preferred  stock  for which  there is no  limit)  when
consistent  with the  Series'  objective.  The Series will  generally  hold such
equity  investments as a result of purchases of unit  offerings of  fixed-income
securities  which include such  securities  or in  connection  with an actual or
proposed  conversion  or  exchange  of  fixed-income  securities,  but may  also
purchase equity securities not associated with fixed-income  securities when, in
the opinion of the sub-adviser, such purchase is appropriate.

    In order to maintain liquidity,  the Series may hold and/or invest up to 20%
of its total  assets in cash  and/or U.S.  dollar  denominated  debt  securities
including: (1) short-term (less than 12 months to maturity) and medium-term (not
greater than five years to maturity) obligations issued or guaranteed by (a) the
U.S.  Government or the  government of a developed  country,  their  agencies or
instrumentalities  or (b) international  organizations  designed or supported by
multiple foreign  governmental  entities to promote economic  reconstruction  or
development   ("supranational   entities");  (2)  finance  company  obligations,
corporate commercial paper and other short-term commercial obligations,  in each
case rated or issued by companies with similar  securities  outstanding that are
rated 'Prime-1" or "A" or better by Moody's or "A-1" or "A" or better by S&P or,
if  unrated,  of  comparable  quality  as  determined  by the  sub-adviser;  (3)
obligations (including  certificates of deposit, time deposits,  demand deposits
and bankers'  acceptances) of banks; and (4) repurchase  agreements with respect
to  securities  in which the Series may invest.  If at some future date,  in the
opinion of the sub-adviser, adverse conditions prevail in the securities markets
which makes the Series' investment strategy  inconsistent with the best interest
of the  Series'  shareholders,  then for  defensive  purposes,  the  Series  may
temporarily invest its assets without limit in such instruments.

    If at some future date, in the  sub-adviser's  opinion,  adverse  conditions
prevail in the securities  markets which makes the Series'  investment  strategy
inconsistent with the best interests of the Series' shareholders, the Series may
invest  its  assets  without  limit  in  high-quality  short-term  money  market
instruments.

    The Series may enter  into  repurchase  agreements  and  reverse  repurchase
agreements,  may  purchase  securities  on a  firm  commitment  basis  including
when-issued securities and may lend portfolio securities.

    The Series may  purchase  securities  for which  there is a limited  trading
market or which are subject to restrictions on resale to the public.  The Series
will not  invest  more  than 15% of the value of its  total  assets in  illiquid
securities,  such as "restricted  securities" which are illiquid, and securities
that are not readily marketable.

    The Series  may use the  following  investment  strategies  to hedge  market
risks, to manage the effective  maturity or duration of debt instruments held by
the Series,  or to seek to increase the Series' income or gains.  The Series may
purchase  and sell  interest  rate,  currency  or stock  or bond  index  futures
contracts and enter into currency forward contracts and currency swaps; purchase
and  sell  exchange  listed  and   over-the-counter  put  and  call  options  on
securities,   currencies,   futures  contracts,   indices  and  other  financial
instruments; and enter into interest rate transactions, equity swaps and related
transactions,  invest in indexed debt securities and other similar  transactions
which may be developed to the extent the  sub-adviser  determines  that they are
consistent  with the Series'  investment  objective and policies and  applicable
regulatory  requirements.  The Series'  interest rate  transactions may take the
form of swaps, caps, floors and collars,  and the Series' currency  transactions
may take the form of currency forward  contracts,  currency  futures  contracts,
currency swaps and options on currencies.

           SALOMON BROTHERS/JNL U.S. GOVERNMENT & QUALITY BOND SERIES

    The  investment  objective  of the Salomon  Brothers/JNL  U.S.  Government &
Quality  Bond  Series  is to  obtain a high  level of  current  income.  It is a
diversified Series that seeks to attain its objective 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.

    At least 65% of the total assets of the Series will be invested in:

    (1) U.S. Treasury obligations;

    (2) obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the
        U.S.  Government  which are  backed by their own  credit  and may not be
        backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
        Government;

    (3) mortgage-backed   securities   guaranteed  by  the  Government  National
        Mortgage  Association that are supported by the full faith and credit of
        the U.S.  Government.  Such securities entitle the holder to receive all
        interest and principal payments due whether or not payments are actually
        made on the underlying mortgages;

    (4) mortgage-backed  securities  guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities
        of the U.S.  Government  which are supported by their own credit but not
        the full faith and credit of the U.S.  Government,  such as the  Federal
        Home  Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  and  the  Federal  National  Mortgage
        Association; and

    (5) collateralized  mortgage obligations issued by private issuers for which
        the  underlying  mortgage-backed  securities  serving as collateral  are
        backed  (i)  by the  credit  alone  of the  U.S.  Government  agency  or
        instrumentality   which  issues  or   guarantees   the   mortgage-backed
        securities, or (ii) by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
        Government.

    Any guarantee of the securities in which the Series invests runs only to the
principal and interest payments on the securities and not to the market value of
such  securities  or to the principal  and interest  payments on the  underlying
mortgages. In addition, the guarantee only runs to the portfolio securities held
by the Series and not the purchase of shares of the Series.

    The Series may invest in  securities  of any maturity or effective  duration
and,  accordingly,  the composition and weighted average maturity of the Series'
portfolio   will  vary  from  time  to  time,   based  upon  the   sub-adviser's
determination  of how best to achieve the  Series'  investment  objective.  With
respect  to  mortgage-backed  securities  in which the Series  invests,  average
maturity  and  duration  are  determined  by  using  mathematical   models  that
incorporate  prepayment  assumptions and other factors that involve estimates of
future  economic  parameters.  These  estimates  may vary from  actual  results,
particularly  during  periods of extreme  market  volatility.  In addition,  the
average maturity and duration of mortgage-backed  derivative  securities may not
accurately  reflect the price volatility of such securities under certain market
conditions.

    A  significant  portion  of the  Series'  assets  may  from  time to time be
invested in mortgage-backed  securities. The mortgage-backed securities in which
the Series invests represent  participating interests in pools of fixed rate and
adjustable rate  residential  mortgage loans issued or guaranteed by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government.  Mortgage-backed securities are issued
by lenders  such as mortgage  bankers,  commercial  banks,  and savings and loan
associations.  Mortgage-backed  securities  generally  provide monthly  payments
which are, in effect,  a  "pass-through"  of the monthly  interest and principal
payments  (including any  prepayments)  made by the individual  borrowers on the
pooled  mortgage  loans.  Principal  prepayments  result  from  the  sale of the
underlying property or the refinancing or foreclosure of underlying mortgages.

    The yield of  mortgage-backed  securities is based upon the prepayment rates
experienced  over the life of the security.  Prepayments tend to increase during
periods of falling interest rates, while during periods of rising interest rates
prepayments  will most likely  decline.  Reinvestment by the Series of scheduled
principal  payments  and  unscheduled  prepayments  may occur at higher or lower
rates than the  original  investment,  thus  affecting  the yield of the Series.
Monthly interest payments received by the Series have a compounding effect which
will increase the yield to shareholders as compared to debt obligations that pay
interest semi-annually.  Because of the reinvestment of prepayments of principal
at current rates, mortgage-backed securities may be less effective than Treasury
bonds of similar  maturity at  maintaining  yields  during  periods of declining
interest  rates.  Also,  although the value of debt  securities  may increase as
interest rates decline,  the value of these  pass-through type of securities may
not increase as much due to the prepayment feature.

    While the Series seeks a high level of current  income,  it cannot invest in
instruments such as lower grade corporate  obligations which offer higher yields
but are subject to greater credit risks. The Series will not knowingly invest in
a high risk "mortgage security," generally defined as any mortgage security that
exhibits  significantly greater price volatility than a benchmark security,  the
Federal National  Mortgage  Association  current coupon 30-year  mortgage-backed
pass through  security.  Shares of the Series are neither insured nor guaranteed
by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.  Neither the issuance
by nor the  guarantee  of a U.S.  Government  agency for a security  constitutes
assurance  that the security will not  significantly  fluctuate in value or that
the Series will receive the originally anticipated yield on the security.

    The   Series   may  also   invest   up  to  35%  of  its   assets   in  U.S.
dollar-denominated  securities  rated AAA,  AA, A or BBB by S&P or Aaa, Aa, A or
Baa by  Moody's,  or if  unrated,  determined  to be of  comparable  quality  to
securities in those ratings  categories by the  sub-adviser.  The Series may not
invest  more  than  10% of total  assets  in  obligations  of  foreign  issuers.
Investments   in  foreign   securities   will  subject  the  Series  to  special
considerations  related to political,  economic and legal conditions  outside of
the U.S. (See "Investment Risks").  These considerations include the possibility
of expropriation,  nationalization, withholding taxes on income and difficulties
in enforcing judgments.  Foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile
than comparable U.S.
securities.

    The Series may enter into  repurchase  and  reverse  repurchase  agreements,
purchase   securities  on  a  firm  commitment  basis,   including   when-issued
securities,  and lend  portfolio  securities.  The Series will not make loans of
portfolio  securities  with a value in  excess  of 25% of the value of its total
assets.  The  Series  may  invest  up to 15%  of  its  net  assets  in  illiquid
securities.  The  Series may also enter into  mortgage  "dollar  rolls."  (For a
description of these  investment  practices and the risks  associated with them,
see "Common  Types of  Securities  and  Management  Practices"  and  "Investment
Risks").

                   T. ROWE PRICE/JNL ESTABLISHED GROWTH SERIES

    The investment objective of the T. Rowe Price/JNL  Established Growth Series
is to seek long-term  growth of capital and increasing  dividend  income through
investment  primarily in common stocks of well-established  growth companies.  A
growth company is defined as one which: (1) has demonstrated  historical  growth
of earnings faster than the growth of inflation and the economy in general;  and
(2) has indications of being able to continue this growth pattern in the future.
Total return will consist primarily of capital  appreciation or depreciation and
secondarily of dividend income.

    It is a diversified Series that will invest primarily in the common stock of
a diversified group of well-established growth companies. While current dividend
income is not a prerequisite in the selection of a growth company, the companies
in which the Series will invest  normally have a record of paying  dividends and
are generally expected to increase the amounts of such dividends in future years
as earnings  increase.  Although the Series will invest primarily in U.S. common
stocks, it may also purchase other types of securities, for example, convertible
securities,  warrants,  hybrid instruments,  restricted securities,  futures and
options,  when considered  consistent with the Series' investment  objective and
program.  The  Series  may  invest  up to  30% of its  total  assets  (excluding
reserves) in foreign  securities,  including American Depositary  Receipts.  The
Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

            T. ROWE PRICE/JNL INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INVESTMENT SERIES

    The  investment  objective  of the T. Rowe  Price/JNL  International  Equity
Investment  Series is to seek long-term  growth of capital  through  investments
primarily in common  stocks of  established,  non-U.S.  companies.  Total return
consists of capital appreciation or depreciation,  dividend income, and currency
gains or losses.

    Over the last 30 years,  many foreign  economies  have grown faster than the
United  States'  economy,  and the  return  from  equity  investments  in  these
countries  has often  exceeded the return on similar  investments  in the United
States. Moreover, there has normally been a wide and largely unrelated variation
in performance between  international equity markets over this period.  Although
there can be no  assurance  that these  conditions  will  continue,  the Series'
sub-adviser,  within the  framework  of  diversification,  seeks to identify and
invest in companies  participating  in the faster growing foreign  economies and
markets.  The sub-adviser  believes that investment in foreign securities offers
significant  potential for long-term capital  appreciation and an opportunity to
achieve investment diversification.  The Series may also purchase other types of
securities, for example, preferred stocks, convertible securities,  fixed income
securities,   hybrid  instruments,   restricted  securities,   foreign  currency
transactions, futures and options.

    In analyzing companies for investment,  the sub-adviser ordinarily looks for
one or more of the following  characteristics:  an above-average earnings growth
per share;  high  return on  invested  capital;  healthy  balance  sheet;  sound
financial  and  accounting  policies  and  overall  financial  strength;  strong
competitive   advantages;   effective  research  and  product   development  and
marketing;  efficient service; pricing flexibility;  strength of management; and
general  operating  characteristics  which will enable the  companies to compete
successfully  in their market  place.  While  current  dividend  income is not a
prerequisite in the selection of portfolio companies, the companies in which the
Series  invests,  normally  will  have a record of  paying  dividends,  and will
generally be expected to increase the amounts of such  dividends in future years
as earnings increase.

    It is a  diversified  Series that intends to diversify  investments  broadly
among  countries  and to  normally  have  at  least  three  different  countries
represented  in the Series.  The Series may invest in  countries of the Far East
and  Europe,  as well  as  South  Africa,  Australia,  Canada  and  other  areas
(including  developing  countries).  Under unusual  circumstances,  however, the
Series may invest  substantially all of its assets in one or two countries.  The
Series may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

                     T. ROWE PRICE/JNL MID-CAP GROWTH SERIES

    The investment  objective of the T. Rowe Price/JNL  Mid-Cap Growth Series is
to provide  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.

    It is a diversified Series that will invest at least 65% of its total assets
in a diversified  portfolio of mid-cap common stocks with  above-average  growth
potential. A mid-cap company is defined as one whose market capitalization falls
within the  capitalization  range of  companies  included  in the S&P MidCap 400
Index. Mid-cap growth companies are often still in the early, more dynamic phase
of a company's life cycle,  but have enough  corporate  history that they are no
longer  considered  new or  emerging.  By  focusing  their  activities,  mid-cap
companies may be more  responsive and better able to adapt to the changing needs
of  their  markets.   They  are  usually  mature  enough  to  have   established
organizational  structures  and the depth of  management  needed to expand their
operations.  In addition,  these companies  generally have sufficient  financial
resources and access to capital to finance their growth.

    While investing in mid-cap growth companies  generally  entails greater risk
and volatility  than  investing in large,  well-established  companies,  mid-cap
companies are expected to offer the  potential  for more rapid growth.  They may
also offer greater  potential for capital  appreciation  because of their higher
growth  rates.  In  addition,  the stocks of such  companies  are less  actively
followed by securities analysts and may, therefore, be undervalued by investors.

     The sub-adviser  will rely on its proprietary  research to identify mid-cap
companies  with  attractive  growth  prospects.  The Series  will seek to invest
primarily in companies  which: 1) offer proven  products or services,  2) have a
historical  record of earnings growth that is above average,  3) demonstrate the
potential to sustain  earnings  growth,  4) operate in  industries  experiencing
increasing demand,  and/or 5) are believed to be undervalued in the marketplace.
There is, of course,  no  guarantee  the Series  will be able to  identify  such
companies or that its investment in them will be successful.

    Although the Series will invest primarily in U.S. common stocks, it may also
purchase  other  types  of  securities,  for  example,  convertible  securities,
restricted securities,  hybrid instruments,  warrants, futures and options, when
considered  consistent with the Series'  investment  objective and program.  The
Series  may  invest up to 25% of its  assets  (excluding  reserves)  in  foreign
securities,  including American Depositary Receipts. The Series may invest up to
15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

               COMMON TYPES OF SECURITIES AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

SECURITIES AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

    This section  describes some of the types of securities a Series may hold in
its portfolio and the various kinds of investment  practices that may be used in
day-to-day portfolio management. A Series may invest in the following securities
or engage in the  following  practices  to the extent that such  securities  and
practices are consistent with the Series'  investment  objective(s) and policies
described  herein.  Each  Series'  investment  program  is  subject  to  further
restrictions described in the Statement of Additional Information.

    BORROWING AND LENDING. A Series may borrow money from banks for temporary or
emergency  purposes  in  amounts  up to 25%  of  its  total  assets.  To  secure
borrowings  a Series may mortgage or pledge  securities  in amounts up to 15% of
its net assets.  As a fundamental  policy,  a Series will not lend securities or
other assets if, as a result, more than 25% of its total assets would be lent to
other parties.

    CASH  POSITION.  A Series  may  hold a  certain  portion  of its  assets  in
repurchase  agreements  and  money  market  securities  rated  in one of the two
highest  rating  categories  by  a  nationally  recognized   statistical  rating
organization, maturing in one year or less. For temporary, defensive purposes, a
Series may invest without  limitation in such securities.  This reserve position
provides  flexibility in meeting  redemptions,  expenses,  and the timing of new
investments, and serves as a short-term defense during periods of unusual market
volatility.

    COLLATERALIZED  MORTGAGE  OBLIGATIONS  (CMOS).  A Series may invest in CMOs.
CMOs are bonds that are  collateralized  by whole  loan  mortgages  or  mortgage
pass-through  securities.  In recent  years,  new types of CMO  structures  have
evolved. These include floating rate CMOs, planned amortization classes, accrual
bonds, and CMO residuals.  Under certain of these new structures,  given classes
of CMOs have priority over others with respect to the receipt of  prepayments on
the  mortgages.  Therefore,  depending  on the type of CMOs in which the  Series
invests, the investment may be subject to a greater or lesser risk of prepayment
than other types of mortgage-related securities.

    The primary risk of any mortgage  security is the  uncertainty of the timing
of cash flows.  For CMOs,  the primary risk results from the rate of prepayments
on the underlying  mortgages  serving as collateral.  An increase or decrease in
prepayment  rates  (resulting  primarily from a decrease or increase in mortgage
interest  rates) will affect the yield,  average  life,  and price of CMOs.  The
prices  of  certain  CMOs,   depending  on  their  structure  and  the  rate  of
prepayments,  can be  volatile.  Some  CMOs may also not be as  liquid  as other
securities.

    COMMON AND  PREFERRED  STOCKS.  Stocks  represent  shares of  ownership in a
company.  Generally,  preferred  stock has a specified  dividend and ranks after
bonds and before common stocks in its claim on income for dividend  payments and
on assets should the company be  liquidated.  After other claims are  satisfied,
common stockholders  participate in company profits on a pro rata basis; profits
may be paid out in  dividends  or  reinvested  in the  company  to help it grow.
Increases and decreases in earnings are usually  reflected in a company's  stock
price,  so  common  stocks   generally  have  the  greatest   appreciation   and
depreciation potential of all corporate securities.  While most preferred stocks
pay a  dividend,  a Series may  purchase  preferred  stock  where the issuer has
omitted, or is in danger of omitting,  payment of its dividend. Such investments
would be made  primarily  for their  capital  appreciation  potential.  Although
common and preferred stocks have a history of long-term  growth in value,  their
prices  tend to  fluctuate  in the short  term,  particularly  those of  smaller
companies.

    CONVERTIBLE  SECURITIES  AND  WARRANTS.  A  Series  may  invest  in  debt or
preferred  equity  securities   convertible  into  or  exchangeable  for  equity
securities.  Traditionally,   convertible  securities  have  paid  dividends  or
interest  at rates  higher  than  common  stocks but lower than  non-convertible
securities.  They generally  participate in the  appreciation or depreciation of
the underlying stock into which they are convertible, but to a lesser degree. In
recent years,  convertibles  have been  developed  which combine higher or lower
current  income with options and other  features.  Warrants are options to buy a
stated number of shares of common stock at a specified price any time during the
life of the warrants (generally, two or more years).

    FIXED INCOME  SECURITIES.  A Series may invest in fixed income securities of
companies which meet the investment  criteria for the Series. The price of fixed
income  securities  fluctuates with changes in interest rates,  generally rising
when  interest  rates fall and  falling  when  interest  rates  rise.  Prices of
longer-term securities generally increase or decrease more sharply than those of
shorter-term securities in response to interest rate changes.

    FOREIGN  CURRENCY  TRANSACTIONS.  A Series will normally conduct its foreign
currency exchange  transactions either on a spot (i.e., cash), basis at the spot
rate prevailing in the foreign  currency  exchange  market,  or through entering
into forward  contracts to purchase or sell  foreign  currencies.  A Series will
generally  not enter into a forward  contract  with a term of  greater  than one
year.

    There are certain  markets  where it is not  possible to engage in effective
foreign currency hedging.  This may be true, for example,  for the currencies of
various  countries  where the  foreign  exchange  markets  are not  sufficiently
developed to permit hedging activity to take place.

     FOREIGN  SECURITIES.  A Series  may  invest in  foreign  securities.  These
include non-dollar  denominated  securities traded principally  outside the U.S.
and  dollar  denominated  securities  traded  in  the  U.S.  (such  as  American
Depositary  Receipts).  Such investments increase a Series'  diversification and
may enhance return, but they also involve some special risks such as exposure to
potentially adverse local political and economic  developments;  nationalization
and  exchange  controls;  potentially  lower  liquidity  and higher  volatility;
possible  problems  arising  from  accounting,   disclosure,   settlement,   and
regulatory  practices  that  differ  from U.S.  standards;  and the chance  that
fluctuations  in foreign  exchange  rates will decrease the  investment's  value
(favorable changes can increase its value).

    FUTURES AND  OPTIONS.  Futures are often used to manage  risk,  because they
enable  the  investor  to buy or sell an asset in the  future at an agreed  upon
price.  Options give the investor the right,  but not the obligation,  to buy or
sell an asset at a predetermined  price in the future. A Series may buy and sell
futures  contracts  (and  options on such  contracts)  to manage its exposure to
changes in securities prices and foreign currencies and as an efficient means of
adjusting  overall  exposure  to certain  markets.  Subject  to  certain  limits
described in the Statement of Additional  Information,  a Series may purchase or
sell  call  and put  options  on  securities,  financial  indices,  and  foreign
currencies,  and may  invest in futures  contracts  on  foreign  currencies  and
financial  indices,  including  interest  rates or an  index of U.S.  Government
securities, foreign government securities or equity or fixed income securities.

    Futures  contracts  and options may not always be successful  hedges;  their
prices can be highly  volatile;  using them could lower a Series'  total return;
and the  potential  loss from the use of futures can exceed the Series'  initial
investment in such contracts. These instruments may also be used for non-hedging
purposes such as increasing a Series' income.

    The Series' use of commodity  futures and commodity  options  trading should
not be  viewed  as  providing  a  vehicle  for  shareholder  participation  in a
commodity pool.  Rather,  in accordance with regulations  adopted by the CFTC, a
Series  will  employ  such  techniques  only for (1)  hedging  purposes,  or (2)
otherwise,  to the extent that aggregate initial margin and required premiums do
not exceed 5 percent of the Series' net assets.

    ILLIQUID SECURITIES.  Illiquid investments include repurchase agreements not
terminable  within seven days,  securities  for which market  quotations are not
readily available and certain restricted securities. Illiquid investments may be
difficult  to sell  promptly  at an  acceptable  price.  Difficulty  in  selling
securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a Series. Certain restricted
securities may be determined to be liquid in accordance with guidelines  adopted
by the Trust's Board of Trustees.

    HIGH YIELD BONDS. A Series may invest its assets in fixed income  securities
offering  high  current  income  that  are in the  lower  rating  categories  of
recognized  rating  agencies or are non-rated.  These  lower-rated  fixed income
securities are considered on balance, as predominantly  speculative with respect
to capacity to pay interest and repay  principal in accordance with the terms of
the obligation  and generally  will involve more credit risk than  securities in
the higher rating categories.

    During the period ended  December 31, 1997,  the percentage of the assets of
the  following  Series  invested  in  debt  securities  in  each  of the  rating
categories of S&P and the debt  securities  not rated by an  established  rating
service, determined on a dollar weighted average, were:

    HYBRID  INSTRUMENTS.  These instruments can combine the  characteristics  of
securities,  futures and options. For example, the principal amount,  redemption
or conversion  terms of a security  could be related to the market price of some
commodity,  currency or securities  index.  Such securities may bear interest or
pay dividends at below market (or even relatively  nominal) rates. Under certain
conditions,  the redemption value of such an investment  could be zero.  Hybrids
can have volatile prices and limited liquidity and their use by a Series may not
be successful.

    INFLATION  INDEXED  BONDS.  A Series may purchase  inflation-indexed  bonds.
Inflation-indexed  bonds are fixed income  securities  whose  principal value is
periodically  adjusted according to the rate of inflation.  Such bonds generally
are issued at an interest  rate lower than  typical  bonds,  but are expected to
retain their  principal  value over time.  The  interest  rate on these bonds is
fixed at issuance,  but over the life of the bond the interest may be paid on an
increasing  principal value, which has been adjusted for inflation.  While these
securities  are expected to be protected  from  long-term  inflationary  trends,
short-term  increases in inflation  may lead to a decline in value.  If interest
rates rise due to reasons other than inflation  (for example,  due to changes in
currency exchange rates),  investors in these securities may not be protected to
the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond's inflation measure.

    MORTGAGE- AND ASSET-BACKED  SECURITIES. A Series may invest in mortgage- and
asset-backed  securities.  These securities are subject to prepayment risk, that
is, the possibility that prepayments on the underlying  mortgages or other loans
will  cause  the  principal  and  interest  on the  mortgage-  and  asset-backed
securities  to be paid prior to their  stated  maturities.  A  sub-adviser  will
consider  estimated   prepayment  rates  in  calculating  the  average  weighted
maturities of the Series.  Unscheduled prepayments are more likely to accelerate
during  periods  of  declining  long-term  interest  rates.  In the  event  of a
prepayment during a period of declining interest rates, a Series may be required
to invest the  unanticipated  proceeds  at a lower  interest  rate.  Prepayments
during such periods will also limit a Series' ability to participate in as large
a market gain as may be  experienced  with a comparable  security not subject to
prepayment.

    A Series may  purchase  stripped  mortgage-backed  securities,  which may be
considered  derivative  mortgage-backed  securities,  which  may  be  issued  by
agencies or  instrumentalities  of the U.S.  Government or by private  entities.
Stripped mortgage-backed  securities have greater volatility than other types of
mortgage-backed  securities.  Stripped mortgage-backed securities are structured
with two or more classes that receive different  proportions of the interest and
principal  distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In the most extreme case,
one class will receive all of the  interest,  while the other class will receive
all of the principal.  The yield to maturity of such mortgage backed  securities
that are purchased at a substantial  discount or premium are extremely sensitive
to  changes  in  interest  rates  as well as to the rate of  principal  payments
(including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets.

    MORTGAGE  DOLLAR  ROLLS.  A Series may enter into  mortgage  dollar rolls in
which a Series  sells  mortgage-backed  securities  for  delivery in the current
month and  simultaneously  contracts to repurchase  substantially  similar (same
type,  coupon and maturity)  securities on a specified  future date.  During the
roll  period,   a  Series   foregoes   principal   and  interest   paid  on  the
mortgage-backed  securities.  A 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.
A Series may only enter into covered  rolls. A "covered roll" is a specific type
of dollar roll for which there is an offsetting  cash position  which matures on
or before the forward  settlement  date of the dollar roll  transaction.  At the
time a  Series  enters  into a  mortgage  "dollar  roll",  it will  establish  a
segregated  account with its custodian bank in which it will maintain cash, U.S.
Government  securities or other liquid assets equal in value to its  obligations
in respect of dollar  rolls,  and  accordingly,  such  dollar  rolls will not be
considered  borrowings.  Mortgage  dollar rolls involve the risk that the market
value of the  securities  the  Series  is  obligated  to  repurchase  under  the
agreement  may decline  below the  repurchase  price.  In the event the buyer of
securities  under a  mortgage  dollar  roll  files  for  bankruptcy  or  becomes
insolvent,  the Series'  use of  proceeds  of the dollar roll may be  restricted
pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver,  whether
to enforce the Series' obligation to repurchase the securities.

    PARTICIPATIONS  AND  ASSIGNMENTS.  A Series may invest in fixed and floating
rate loans ("Loans") arranged through private  negotiations  between a corporate
borrower or a foreign  sovereign  entity and one or more financial  institutions
("Lenders").  A Series may invest in such Loans in the form of participations in
Loans ("Participations") and assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third
parties ("Assignments"). Participations typically will result in a Series having
a contractual relationship only with the Lender, not with the borrower. A Series
will have the right to receive  payments of principal,  interest and any fees to
which it is entitled  only from the Lender  selling the  Participation  and only
upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with
purchasing  Participations,  a Series  generally  will have no right to  enforce
compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement  relating to the
Loan,  nor any  rights of set-off  against  the  borrower,  and a Series may not
benefit  directly  from  any  collateral  supporting  the  Loan in  which it has
purchased the  Participation.  As a result, a Series will assume the credit risk
of both the  borrower and the Lender that is selling the  Participation.  In the
event of the insolvency of the Lender selling a  Participation,  a Series may be
treated as a general creditor of the Lender and may not benefit from any set-off
between the Lender and the borrower.  A Series will acquire  Participations only
if the Lender interpositioned between a Series and the borrower is determined by
the sub-adviser to be  creditworthy.  When a Series  purchases  Assignments from
Lenders,  a Series will acquire  direct rights against the borrower on the Loan,
except that under  certain  circumstances  such rights may be more  limited than
those held by the assigning Lender.

    A Series may have difficulty  disposing of Assignments  and  Participations.
Because  the  market  for  such  instruments  is not  highly  liquid,  a  Series
anticipates  that such  instruments  could be sold  only to a limited  number of
institutional  investors.  The lack of a highly liquid secondary market may have
an  adverse  impact on the value of such  instruments  and will have an  adverse
impact  on  a  Series'   ability  to  dispose  of  particular   Assignments   or
Participations  in response to a specific  economic event, such as deterioration
in the  creditworthiness of the borrower.  A Series currently treats investments
in Participations  and Assignments as illiquid for purposes of its limitation on
investment in illiquid securities. However, the Trustees may in the future adopt
policies and procedures for the purpose of determining  whether  Assignments and
Loan  Participations  are liquid or  illiquid.  Pursuant  to such  policies  and
procedures,  the Trustees would delegate to the sub-adviser the determination as
to whether a particular Loan  Participation or Assignment is liquid or illiquid,
requiring that  consideration be given to, among other things,  the frequency of
quotes,  the  number of  dealers  willing  to sell and the  number of  potential
purchasers,  the nature of the Loan  Participation  or  Assignment  and the time
needed  to  dispose  of it  and  the  contractual  provisions  of  the  relevant
documentation.  The Trustees would  periodically  review  purchases and sales of
Assignments and Loan  Participations.  To the extent that liquid Assignments and
Loan  Participations  that a Series  held  became  illiquid,  due to the lack of
sufficient buyers or market or other  conditions,  the percentage of the Series'
assets invested in illiquid assets would increase.

    PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT  COMPANIES.  A Series may purchase the securities
of certain foreign  investment funds or trusts called passive foreign investment
companies.  Such  trusts  have been the only or primary way to invest in certain
countries.  In  addition  to bearing  their  proportionate  share of the trust's
expenses  (management  fees and  operating  expenses),  shareholders  will  also
indirectly bear similar expenses of such trusts.

    PORTFOLIO  TURNOVER.  To a limited extent, a Series may engage in short-term
transactions if such transactions further its investment objective. A Series may
sell one security and  simultaneously  purchase another of comparable quality or
simultaneously  purchase  and  sell  the  same  security  to take  advantage  of
short-term  differentials  in  bond  yields  or  otherwise  purchase  individual
securities in anticipation  of relatively  short-term  price gains.  The rate of
portfolio  turnover will not be a determining factor in the purchase and sale of
such  securities.   Increased   portfolio   turnover   necessarily   results  in
correspondingly  higher costs including brokerage  commissions,  dealer mark-ups
and other  transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestment in other
securities,  and may result in the  acceleration of taxable gains.  (See "Series
Transactions and Brokerage").

    REAL  ESTATE  INVESTMENT  TRUSTS  (REITS).  The REITs in which a Series  may
invest  include  equity REITs,  which own real estate  properties,  and mortgage
REITs,  which make  construction,  development and long-term mortgage loans. The
value  of an  equity  REIT  may be  affected  by  changes  in the  value  of the
underlying property, while a mortgage REIT may be affected by the quality of the
credit extended.  The performance of both types of REITs depends upon conditions
in the real estate industry,  management skills and the amount of cash flow. The
risks  associated  with REITs include  defaults by borrowers,  self-liquidation,
failure to qualify as a "pass-through" entity under the Federal tax law, failure
to qualify as an exempt  entity  under the 1940 Act, and the fact that REITs are
not diversified.

    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. A Series may invest
in repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements.  A repurchase agreement involves
the purchase of a security by a Series and a simultaneous  agreement  (generally
by a bank or dealer) to repurchase  that security from the Series at a specified
price and date or upon demand.  This technique offers a method of earning income
on idle cash.  The repurchase  agreement is effectively  secured by the value of
the underlying  security.  A risk associated  with repurchase  agreements is the
failure of the seller to repurchase the securities as agreed,  which may cause a
Series to suffer a loss if the market value of such  securities  declines before
they can be  liquidated  on the open  market.  In the  event  of  bankruptcy  or
insolvency  of the  seller,  a Series may  encounter  delays and incur  costs in
liquidating the underlying security.

    When a  Series  invests  in a  reverse  repurchase  agreement,  it  sells  a
portfolio  security  to another  party,  such as a bank or a  broker-dealer,  in
return for cash, and agrees to buy the security back at a future date and price.
Reverse  repurchase  agreements may be used to provide cash to satisfy unusually
heavy redemption  requests or for other temporary or emergency  purposes without
the necessity of selling  portfolio  securities or to earn additional  income on
portfolio securities, such as Treasury bills and notes.

    SHORT SALES. A Series may sell securities short. A short sale is the sale of
a security the Series does not own. It is "against the box" if at all times when
the short  position is open the Series owns an equal amount of the securities or
securities  convertible into, or exchangeable without further consideration for,
securities of the same issue as the securities  sold short. To the extent that a
Series  engages in short sales that are not "against the box," it must  maintain
asset coverage in the form of assets  determined to be liquid by the sub-adviser
in  accordance  with  procedures  established  by the  Board of  Trustees,  in a
segregated account, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner.

    U.S.  GOVERNMENT  SECURITIES AND CUSTODIAL  RECEIPTS.  Obligations issued or
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government,  its agencies or
instrumentalities  include  Treasury  bills,  notes  and  bonds  and  Government
National Mortgage Association  ("GNMA")  certificates which are supported by the
full faith and credit of the United States; others, such as those of the Federal
Home Loan  Banks,  are  supported  by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
Treasury;  others,  such as those of the Federal National  Mortgage  Association
("FNMA"), are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to
purchase  the  agency's  obligations;  and  still  others,  such as those of the
Student Loan  Marketing  Association,  are  supported  only by the credit of the
instrumentality. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide
financial  support  to U.S.  Government  agencies  or  instrumentalities  in the
future,  other than as set forth  above,  since it is not  obligated to do so by
law.

    WHEN-ISSUED  SECURITIES.  A Series may purchase securities on a when-issued,
delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. Actual payment for and delivery of
such  securities  does not take  place  until  some time in the  future -- i.e.,
beyond normal  settlement.  The Series does not earn interest on such securities
until  settlement  and bears the risk of market  value  fluctuations  during the
period  between the purchase and  settlement  dates.  The Series  segregate  and
maintain at all times  cash,  cash  equivalents,  or other  liquid  assets in an
amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding  commitments  for when-issued
securities.

    ZERO COUPON AND PAY-IN-KIND BONDS.  Unless otherwise stated herein, a Series
may invest up to 10% of its assets in zero coupon  bonds or strips.  Zero coupon
bonds do not make regular interest payments; rather, they are sold at a discount
from face value.  Principal and accreted discount (representing interest accrued
but not paid) are paid at maturity. Strips are debt securities that are stripped
of their interest after the securities are issued,  but otherwise are comparable
to zero coupon bonds. The market value of strips and zero coupon bonds generally
fluctuates  in response to changes in  interest  rates to a greater  degree than
interest-paying  securities  of comparable  term and quality.  A Series may also
purchase  pay-in-kind  bonds.  Pay-in-kind  bonds pay all or a portion  of their
interest in the form of debt or equity securities.

    Zero  coupon and  pay-in-kind  bonds  tend to be  subject  to greater  price
fluctuations  in  response  to  changes  in  interest  rates  than are  ordinary
interest-paying  debt  securities  with  similar  maturities.  The value of zero
coupon  securities  appreciates more during periods of declining  interest rates
and  depreciates  more during  periods of rising  interest  rates than  ordinary
interest-paying debt securities with similar maturities.  Zero coupon securities
and  pay-in-kind  bonds  may  be  issued  by a wide  variety  of  corporate  and
governmental issuers.

    Current  federal  income  tax  law  requires  the  holder  of a zero  coupon
security,  certain  pay-in-kind bonds and certain other securities acquired at a
discount (such as Brady Bonds) to accrue income with respect to these securities
prior to the  receipt of cash  payments.  Accordingly,  to avoid  liability  for
federal income and excise taxes,  a Series may be required to distribute  income
accrued  with respect to these  securities  and may have to dispose of portfolio
securities  under  disadvantageous  circumstances  in order to generate  cash to
satisfy these distribution requirements.

INVESTMENT RISKS

    EMERGING MARKETS.  The considerations noted above under "Foreign Securities"
may  be  intensified  in  the  case  of  investment  in  developing   countries.
Investments in securities of issuers in emerging markets countries may involve a
high degree of risk and many may be considered  speculative.  These  investments
carry all of the risks of  investing  in  securities  of  foreign  issuers  to a
heightened  degree.   These  heightened  risks  include  (i)  greater  risks  of
expropriation,   confiscatory  taxation,   nationalization,   and  less  social,
political and economic  stability;  (ii)  limitations on daily price changes and
the small current size of the markets for securities of emerging markets issuers
and the currently  low or  nonexistent  volume of trading,  resulting in lack of
liquidity and in price  volatility;  (iii) certain  national  policies which may
restrict a Series' investment  opportunities  including limitations on aggregate
holdings  by foreign  investors  and  restrictions  on  investing  in issuers or
industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests; and (iv) the absence
of  developed  legal  structures  governing  private or foreign  investment  and
private property.

    FOREIGN SECURITIES.  Investments in foreign  securities,  including those of
foreign  governments,  involve  risks that are  different in some  respects from
investments in securities of U.S.  issuers,  such as the risk of fluctuations in
the value of the currencies in which they are denominated,  a heightened risk of
adverse  political  and  economic  developments  and,  with  respect  to certain
countries,  the possibility of  expropriation,  nationalization  or confiscatory
taxation or  limitations  on the  removal of funds or other  assets of a Series.
Securities  of some  foreign  issuers  in many  cases are less  liquid  and more
volatile than securities of comparable domestic issuers.  There also may be less
publicly available  information about foreign issuers than domestic issuers, and
foreign issuers  generally are not subject to the uniform  accounting,  auditing
and financial  reporting  standards,  practices and  requirements  applicable to
domestic  issuers.  Certain  markets may require  payment for securities  before
delivery.  A Series may have limited  legal  recourse  against the issuer in the
event of a default on a debt  instrument.  Delays may be encountered in settling
securities transactions in certain foreign markets and a Series will incur costs
in converting  foreign  currencies into U.S.  dollars.  Bank custody charges are
generally  higher for foreign  securities.  The Series which invest primarily in
foreign  securities  are  particularly   susceptible  to  such  risks.  American
Depositary  Receipts do not involve the same direct currency and liquidity risks
as foreign securities.

    At times,  securities held by a Series may be listed on foreign exchanges or
traded in  foreign  markets  which are open on days  (such as  Saturday)  when a
Series does not compute its price or accept orders for the purchase,  redemption
or exchange of its shares.  As a result,  the net asset value of a Series may be
significantly  affected  by  trading  on  days  when  shareholders  cannot  make
transactions.

    The share price of a Series that invests in foreign  securities will reflect
the movements of both the prices of the portfolio  securities and the currencies
in which such  securities are  denominated.  A Series'  foreign  investments may
cause changes in a Series' share price that have a low correlation with movement
in the U.S.  markets.  Because most of the foreign  securities in which a Series
invests will be denominated in foreign currencies, or otherwise will have values
that  depend on the  performance  of  foreign  currencies  relative  to the U.S.
dollar,  the relative  strength of the U.S. dollar may be an important factor in
the  performance  of a Series,  depending  on the extent of the Series'  foreign
investments.

    A Series may employ  certain  strategies  in order to manage  exchange  rate
risks.  For  example,  a  Series  may  hedge  some  or all  of  its  investments
denominated in or exposed to a foreign  currency  against a decline in the value
of that  currency.  A Series  may enter  into  contracts  to sell  that  foreign
currency  for U. S.  dollars  (not  exceeding  the  value  of a  Series'  assets
denominated  in or exposed to that currency) or by  participating  in options or
futures  contracts with respect to such currency  ("position  hedge").  A Series
could also hedge that position by selling a second  currency,  which is expected
to  perform  similarly  to the  currency  in  which  portfolio  investments  are
denominated,  for U.S. dollars ("proxy  hedge").  A Series may also enter into a
forward contract to sell the currency in which the security is denominated for a
second  currency that is expected to perform better  relative to the U.S. dollar
if the sub-adviser  believes there is a reasonable degree of correlation between
movements in the two currencies  ("cross hedge"). A Series may also enter into a
forward  contract  to  sell  a  currency  in  which  portfolio   securities  are
denominated  in exchange  for a second  currency in order to manage its currency
exposure  to  selected  countries.   In  addition,  when  a  Series  anticipates
purchasing  securities  denominated in or exposed to a particular currency,  the
Series may enter into a forward  contract to  purchase or sell such  currency in
exchange for the dollar or another currency ("anticipatory hedge").

    These  strategies  minimize the effect of currency  appreciation  as well as
depreciation,  but do not protect  against a decline in the underlying  value of
the hedged  security.  In addition,  such strategies may reduce or eliminate the
opportunity to profit from  increases in the value of the original  currency and
may adversely impact a Series'  performance if the  sub-adviser's  projection of
future exchange rates is inaccurate.

    FUTURES,  OPTIONS  AND OTHER  DERIVATIVE  INSTRUMENTS.  The use of  futures,
options,  forward  contracts,  and swaps  ("derivative  instruments")  exposes a
Series to additional  investment  risks and transaction  costs. If a sub-adviser
seeks to protect a Series against potential adverse movements in the securities,
foreign  currency or interest  rate markets  using these  instruments,  and such
markets do not move in a direction  adverse to the Series,  that Series could be
left in a less  favorable  position than if such  strategies  had not been used.
Risks  inherent  in the use of futures,  options,  forward  contracts  and swaps
include (1) the risk that interest rates, securities prices and currency markets
will not move in the directions  anticipated;  (2) imperfect correlation between
the  price  of  derivative  instruments  and  movements  in  the  prices  of the
securities,  interest rates or currencies being hedged; (3) the fact that skills
needed  to use  these  strategies  are  different  from  those  needed to select
portfolio securities;  (4) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for
any  particular  instrument  at any  time;  and (5) the  possible  need to defer
closing out certain hedged positions to avoid adverse tax consequences.

    HIGH  YIELD/HIGH  RISK BONDS.  Lower rated bonds  involve a higher degree of
credit  risk,  which  is the risk  that the  issuer  will not make  interest  or
principal payments when due. In the event of an unanticipated  default, a Series
would experience a reduction in its income, a decline in the market value of the
securities  so affected  and a decline in the value of its shares.  More careful
analysis of the  financial  condition  of issuers of lower rated  securities  is
therefore necessary. During an economic downturn or substantial period of rising
interest rates,  highly leveraged issuers may experience  financial stress which
could adversely  affect their ability to service  principal and interest payment
obligations,   to  meet  projected  business  goals  and  to  obtain  additional
financing.

    The market prices of lower rated  securities are generally less sensitive to
interest  rate  changes  than higher rated  investments,  but more  sensitive to
adverse economic or political changes,  or individual  developments  specific to
the  issuer.  Periods of  economic or  political  uncertainty  and change can be
expected to result in volatility of prices of these  securities.  Since the last
major economic  recession,  there has been a substantial  increase in the use of
high-yield debt securities to fund highly leveraged  corporate  acquisitions and
restructurings,  so past experience  with  high-yield  securities in a prolonged
economic downturn may not provide an accurate  indication of future  performance
during such periods.  Lower rated  securities  also may have less liquid markets
than higher rated securities,  and their liquidity as well as their value may be
more severely affected by adverse economic conditions.  Many high-yield bonds do
not  trade  frequently.  When they do trade,  their  price may be  substantially
higher or lower  than had been  expected.  A lack of  liquidity  also means that
judgment may play a bigger role in valuing the securities. Adverse publicity and
investor  perceptions  as well as new or  proposed  laws may also have a greater
negative impact on the market for lower rated bonds.

    A Series may also invest in unrated debt  securities of foreign and domestic
issuers.  Unrated  debt,  while not  necessarily  of lower  quality  than  rated
securities,  may  not  have  as  broad  a  market.  Sovereign  debt  of  foreign
governments  is generally  rated by country,  because  these ratings do not take
into account  individual  factors  relevant to each issue and may not be updated
regularly.  Because of the size and perceived  demand of the issue,  among other
factors,  certain  municipalities may not incur the costs of obtaining a rating.
The sub-adviser  will analyze the credit-  worthiness of the issuer,  as well as
any  financial  institution  or other  party  responsible  for  payments  on the
security, in determining whether to purchase unrated municipal bonds.
(See Appendix A for a description of bond rating categories).

    HIGH  YIELD  FOREIGN  SOVEREIGN  DEBT  SECURITIES.  Investing  in fixed  and
floating  rate high yield  foreign  sovereign  debt  securities  will expose the
Series  investing in such  securities to the direct or indirect  consequences of
political,   social  or  economic  changes  in  the  countries  that  issue  the
securities. (See "Foreign Securities"). The ability and willingness of sovereign
obligors  in  developing  and  emerging  market  countries  or the  governmental
authorities  that control  repayment of their external debt to pay principal and
interest  on such debt when due may depend on  general  economic  and  political
conditions  within  the  relevant  country.  Countries  such as those in which a
Series may invest have historically experienced, and may continue to experience,
high rates of inflation,  high interest rates,  exchange rate trade difficulties
and  extreme  poverty  and  unemployment.  Many  of  these  countries  are  also
characterized by political uncertainty or instability.  Additional factors which
may influence the ability or  willingness  to service debt include,  but are not
limited to, a country's  cash flow  situation,  the  availability  of sufficient
foreign  exchange on the date a payment is due,  the  relative  size of its debt
service burden to the economy as a whole,  and its  government's  policy towards
the  International  Monetary  Fund,  the  World  Bank  and  other  international
agencies.

    HYBRID  INSTRUMENTS.  The risks of investing in hybrid instruments reflect a
combination  of the risks of  investing  in  securities,  options,  futures  and
currencies, including volatility and lack of liquidity. Reference is made to the
discussion of futures, options, and forward contracts herein for a discussion of
these  risks.  Further,  the prices of the  hybrid  instrument  and the  related
commodity  or currency  may not move in the same  direction or at the same time.
Hybrid instruments may bear interest or pay preferred  dividends at below market
(or even relatively nominal) rates.  Alternatively,  hybrid instruments may bear
interest at above market rates but bear an increased risk of principal  loss. In
addition,  because the purchase and sale of hybrid  instruments could take place
in an  over-the-counter  or in a private  transaction between the Series and the
seller of the hybrid instrument,  the  creditworthiness of the counter- party to
the transaction  would be a risk factor which the Series would have to consider.
Hybrid  instruments  also may not be  subject  to  regulation  of the  Commodity
Futures Trading  Commission,  which generally regulates the trading of commodity
futures by U.S. persons, the Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates
the  offer  and  sale  of  securities  by  and to  U.S.  persons,  or any  other
governmental regulatory authority.

    MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS. In addition to the usual risks associated with income
investing,  the value of municipal obligations can be affected by changes in the
actual or perceived  credit quality of municipal  obligations  held by a Series.
The credit  quality of a municipal  obligation  can be affected  by, among other
factors, the financial condition of the issuer or guarantor, the issuer's future
borrowing plans and sources of revenue,  the economic feasibility of the revenue
bond project or general borrowing purpose, political or economic developments in
the region where the  security is issued,  and the  liquidity  of the  security.
Because  municipal  obligations  are  generally  traded  over-the-counter,   the
liquidity of a particular  issue often depends on the  willingness of dealers to
make a market in the  security.  The liquidity of some  municipal  issues may be
enhanced by demand  features,  which enable a Series to demand  payment on short
notice from the issuer or a financial intermediary.

    WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The price of such securities, which may be expressed
in yield terms,  is fixed at the time the  commitment  to purchase is made,  but
delivery and payment take place at a later date.  Normally,  the settlement date
occurs  within 90 days of the purchase for  when-issued  securities,  but may be
substantially longer for forward commitments. During the period between purchase
and  settlement,  no payment is made by the Series to the issuer and no interest
accrues to the Series. The purchase of these securities will result in a loss if
their  value  declines  prior to the  settlement  date.  This could  occur,  for
example,  if interest rates increase prior to settlement.  The longer the period
between  purchase and settlement,  the greater the risks. At the time the Series
makes  the  commitment  to  purchase  these  securities,   it  will  record  the
transaction  and reflect the value of the security in determining  its net asset
value. The Series will segregate for these securities by maintaining cash and/or
liquid assets with its  custodian  bank equal in value to  commitments  for them
during the time between the purchase and the settlement.  Therefore,  the longer
this period,  the longer the period during which alternative  investment options
are not  available  to the  Series  (to the  extent of the  securities  used for
cover).  Such  securities  either  will mature or, if  necessary,  be sold on or
before the settlement date.

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST

INVESTMENT ADVISER

    Under  Massachusetts  law and the Trust's  Declaration of Trust and By-Laws,
the management of the business and affairs of the Trust is the responsibility of
the Trustees.

    Jackson National Financial Services, LLC ("JNFSLLC"),  5901 Executive Drive,
Lansing, Michigan 48911, is the investment adviser to the Trust and provides the
Trust with  professional  investment  supervision and  management.  JNFSLLC is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Jackson National Life Insurance Company,  which is in
turn wholly owned by Prudential Corporation plc, a life insurance company in the
United Kingdom.  Jackson National Financial Services,  Inc. served as investment
adviser to the Trust from the inception of the Trust until July 1, 1998, when it
transferred  its duties as  investment  adviser and its  professional  staff for
investment advisory services to JNFSLLC.

    JNFSLLC  provides  preparation of financial  statements,  tax services,  and
regulatory  reports for the Trust.  JNFSLLC  also  selects,  contracts  with and
compensates sub-advisers to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets
of the Series of the Trust. JNFSLLC monitors the compliance of such sub-advisers
with the investment  objectives and related  policies of each Series and reviews
the  performance  of  such   sub-advisers  and  reports   periodically  on  such
performance to the Trustees of the Trust.

    As  compensation  for its  services,  JNFSLLC  receives a fee from the Trust
computed  separately  for each  Series.  The fee for each Series is stated as an
annual  percentage of the net assets of the Series.  The fees, which are accrued
daily and payable monthly, are calculated on the basis of the average 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  currently is  obligated  to pay  JNFSLLC.  The
Series  managed by Standard & Poor's  Investment  Advisory  Services,  Inc. will
indirectly  bear  their  pro rata  share  of fees of the  underlying  Series  in
addition to the fees shown for such Series.

    Under  the terms of each of the  Sub-Advisory  Agreements,  the  sub-adviser
manages the investment and  reinvestment  of the assets of the assigned  Series,
subject  to the  supervision  of the  Trustees  of the  Trust.  The  sub-adviser
formulates a continuous  investment program for each such Series consistent with
its  investment  objectives  and  policies  outlined  in this  Prospectus.  Each
sub-adviser  implements  such programs by purchases and sales of securities  and
regularly  reports to JNFSLLC and the  Trustees of the Trust with respect to the
implementation of such programs.

    As  compensation  for their  services,  the  sub-advisers  receive fees from
JNFSLLC computed  separately for each Series.  The fee for each Series is stated
as an  annual  percentage  of the  net  assets  of such  Series.  The  fees  are
calculated based on the average 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  management  fees  JNFSLLC
currently  is  obligated  to pay the  sub-advisers  out of the  advisory  fee it
receives from each Series as specified above:

    The  sub-advisory  fees payable to a sub-adviser may be reduced as agreed to
by the  parties  from time to time.  With  respect to the  Salomon  Brothers/JNL
Global Bond Series and in  connection  with the  advisory  consulting  agreement
between  Salomon  Brothers  and SBAM  Limited,  Salomon  Brothers  will pay SBAM

the net assets of the Series.

   
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE

    In addition  to the  investment  advisory  fee,  effective  October 1, 1998,
certain Series pay to JNFSLLC an Administrative Fee of .10% of the average daily
net assets of each Series.  In return for the fee,  JNFSLLC provides or procures
all  necessary  administrative  functions  and services for the operation of the
Series. In addition,  JNFSLLC,  at its own expense,  arranges for legal,  audit,
fund accounting, custody, printing and mailing, and all other services necessary
for the  operation  of each  Series.  Each  Series is  responsible  for  trading
expenses  including  brokerage  commissions,   interest  and  taxes,  and  other
non-operating  expenses.  Prior to October 1, 1998,  each Series paid all of its
own operating expenses.
    

                           INVESTMENT IN TRUST SHARES

    An insurance  company  purchases the shares of the Series at their net asset
value using premiums received on Policies issued by Accounts. These Accounts are
funded by shares of the Trust.  There is no sales charge. All shares are sold at
net asset value.

    The net asset value per share of each Series is  determined  at the close of
regular  trading on the New York Stock  Exchange  (normally  4:00 p.m.,  Eastern
time) each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. The net asset value per
share is calculated by adding the value of all  securities and other assets of a
Series,  deducting  its  liabilities,  and  dividing  by the  number  of  shares
outstanding.

    Shares of the Trust are  currently  sold  primarily to separate  accounts of
Jackson National Life Insurance Company, 5901 Executive Drive, Lansing, Michigan
48911 to fund  the  benefits  under  variable  insurance  or  annuity  Policies.
Further,  it is  anticipated  that  shares of the Trust  will be sold to certain
qualified retirement plans.

    All  investments in the Trust are credited to the  shareholder's  account in
the form of full and fractional  shares of the designated Series (rounded to the
nearest 1/1000 of a share). The Trust does not issue share certificates.

                                SHARE REDEMPTION

    An insurance  company  separate  account  redeems  shares to make benefit or
surrender payments under the terms of its Policies. Redemptions are processed on
any day on which the Trust is open for  business  and are  effected at net asset
value next determined after the redemption order, in proper form, is received by
the Trust's transfer agent.

    The Trust may  suspend  the right of  redemption  only  under the  following
unusual circumstances:

     o    when the New York Stock  Exchange is closed  (other than  weekends and

     o    when an emergency exists,  making disposal of portfolio  securities or
          the valuation of net assets not reasonably practicable; or

     o    during any period when the SEC has by order  permitted a suspension of
          redemption for the protection of shareholders.

                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    DESCRIPTION  OF SHARES.  The  Declaration  of Trust  permits the Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional  shares of beneficial  interest
of each  Series and to divide or combine  such  shares  into a greater or lesser
number of shares without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests
in the Trust. Each share of a Series represents an equal  proportional  interest
in that Series with each other share.  The Trust  reserves the right to create a
number of  different  Series.  In that  case,  the shares of each  Series  would
participate  equally in the earnings,  dividends,  and assets of the  particular
Series. Upon liquidation of a Series, its shareholders are entitled to share pro
rata  in  the  net  assets  of  such  Series   available  for   distribution  to
shareholders.

    SERIES TRANSACTIONS. The Trust's portfolio transactions are executed through
brokers who are  considered by the  appropriate  sub-adviser  as able to provide
execution  at the  most  favorable  prices  and in the  most  effective  manner.
Portfolio  security  transactions  may  be  executed  through  brokers  who  are
affiliated with the Trust, JNFSLLC or a sub-adviser. In addition, brokers may be
selected  taking  into  account  such  brokers'  assistance  in the  purchase of
variable  annuity  contracts  funded by the Trust  (although such  assistance or
absence  thereof  is neither a  qualifying  nor a  disqualifying  factor in such
selection).  See the  Statement  of  Additional  Information  for more  detailed
information.

    VOTING  RIGHTS.  Except  for  matters  affecting  a  particular  Series,  as
described  below,  all shares of the Trust have equal  voting  rights and may be
voted in the election of Trustees and on other matters  submitted to the vote of
the  shareholders.  Shareholders'  meetings  ordinarily  will not be held unless
required by the 1940 Act. As permitted by Massachusetts law, there normally will
be no  shareholders'  meetings for the purpose of electing  Trustees  unless and
until such time as fewer than a majority  of the  Trustees  holding  office have
been elected by  shareholders.  At that time,  the Trustees  then in office will
call a  shareholders'  meeting for the election of Trustees.  The Trustees  must
call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the removal of any
Trustee when requested to do so by the record holders of 10% of the  outstanding
shares of the Trust. A Trustee may be removed after the holders of record of not
less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares have declared that the Trustee be
removed either by declaration in writing or by votes cast in person or by proxy.
Except as set forth above,  the Trustees  shall  continue to hold office and may
appoint successor  Trustees,  provided that immediately after the appointment of
any successor Trustee,  at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by
the shareholders.  Shares do not have cumulative voting rights. Thus, holders of
a majority of the shares  voting for the  election of Trustees can elect all the
Trustees.  No  amendment  may be made to the  Declaration  of Trust  without the
affirmative  vote of a majority of the outstanding  shares of the Trust,  except
that  amendments to conform the  Declaration to the  requirements  of applicable
federal laws or regulations or the regulated  investment  company  provisions of
the  Code  may  be  made  by  the  Trustees  without  the  vote  or  consent  of
shareholders.  If not terminated by the vote or written consent of a majority of
its outstanding shares, the Trust will continue indefinitely.

    In matters  affecting only a particular  Series,  the matter shall have been
effectively  acted upon by a majority  vote of that Series even though:  (1) the
matter has not been approved by a majority vote of any other Series;  or (2) the
matter has not been approved by a majority vote of the Trust.

    Shareholders   of  a   Massachusetts   business  trust  may,  under  certain
circumstances,  be held personally liable as partners for the obligations of the
Trust.  The risk of a shareholder  incurring  any  financial  loss on account of
shareholder  liability  is limited to  circumstances  in which the Trust  itself
would be unable to meet its  obligations.  The  Declaration of Trust contains an
express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust
and  provides  that notice of the  disclaimer  must be given in each  agreement,
obligation or instrument entered into or executed by the Trust or Trustees.  The
Declaration  of Trust  provides  for  indemnification  of any  shareholder  held
personally  liable for the  obligations  of the Trust and also  provides for the
Trust to reimburse the shareholder  for all legal and other expenses  reasonably
incurred in connection with any such claim or liability.

     SHAREHOLDER INQUIRIES. All inquiries regarding the Trust should be directed
to the Trust at the telephone  number or address shown on the cover page of this
Prospectus.

                     PERFORMANCE ADVERTISING FOR THE SERIES

    The  Trust  may from  time to time  advertise  several  types of  historical
performance  for  the  Series.  The  performance  advertised  will be  based  on
historical  results  and is not  intended to indicate  future  performance.  Any
charges that are imposed under a variable annuity or variable life contract that
is  funded  by the  Trust  will have the  effect  of  reducing  the  performance
described  below.  Such charges  will be  described  in the variable  annuity or
variable life  prospectus.  If the Trust  advertises  performance  that does not
reflect the effect of charges imposed under a variable  annuity or variable life
contract,  it will accompany the  performance  with the  applicable  performance
which does reflect the effect of such charges.

    Each  Series  may  advertise   standardized  average  annual  total  return,
calculated in a manner prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
non-standardized  total return.  Standardized  average  annual total return will
show the  percentage  rate of return of a  hypothetical  initial  investment  of
$1,000  for the most  recent  one,  five and ten year  periods,  or for a period
covering the time the Series has been in existence if the Series has not been in
existence  for one of the  prescribed  periods.  Because  average  annual  total
returns  tend to smooth  out  variations  in the  Series'  returns,  you  should
recognize  that  they  are  not  the  same  as  actual   year-by-year   results.
Non-standardized total return may be for periods other than those required to be
presented or may otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return.

    Each Series may also advertise yield,  and the PPM America/JNL  Money Market
Series may also advertise  effective yield.  Yield, as calculated by each Series
other than the PPM  America/JNL  Money Market  Series,  refers to the annualized
income  generated  by an  investment  in the Series over a specified  thirty-day
period.  The yield is calculated  by assuming  that the income  generated by the
investment  during that thirty-day  period is generated each  thirty-day  period
over a  twelve-month  period  and is shown as a  percentage  of the  investment.
Yield, as calculated by the PPM America/JNL Money Market Series, is a measure of
the net dividend and interest  income  earned over a specific  seven-day  period
expressed as a percentage of the offering  price of the Series.  The yield is an
annualized figure,  which means that it is assumed that the Series generates the
same level of net income over a 52-week  period.  Effective  yield is calculated
under rules  prescribed by the Securities and Exchange  Commission and assumes a
weekly  reinvestment  of income  earned.  The  effective  yield will be slightly
higher than the yield due to this compounding  effect.  Because yield accounting
methods differ from the methods used for financial  reporting and tax accounting
purposes,  a Series' yield may not equal its distribution  rate, the income paid
to a  shareholder's  account,  or the income  reported in the Series'  financial
statements.

    The  performance  of the Series may be compared to the  performance of other
mutual  funds or mutual fund indices  with  similar  objectives  and policies as
reported  by  Lipper  Analytical  Services,  Inc.  ("Lipper"),   CDA  Investment
Technologies,  Inc.  ("CDA") or  Donoghue's  Money Fund  Report.  Lipper and CDA
performance  calculations  are based upon  changes  in net asset  value with all
dividends  reinvested  and do not include the effect of any sales  charges.  The
Series'  performance may also be compared to that of the Consumer Price Index or
various unmanaged stock and bond indices including,  but not limited to, Salomon
Brothers Broad Investment Grade Index,  Lehman Brothers High Yield Index, Lehman
Brothers  Aggregate Bond Index,  Salomon Brothers Treasury Index, S&P MidCap 400
Index,  Morgan Stanley Capital  International World Index, Morgan Stanley Europe
and  Australasia,  Far East Equity  Index,  Russell 2000 Index,  Russell  Midcap
Index, and S&P 500 Index.

    From time to time,  a Series also may quote  information  from  publications
including, but not limited to, the following: Morningstar, Inc., The Wall Street
Journal,  Money  Magazine,  Forbes,  Barron's,  The New York  Times,  USA Today,
Institutional Investor and Registered  Representative.  Also, investors may want
to compare the historical returns of various investments, performance indices of
those investments or economic  indicators,  including but not limited to stocks,
bonds,  certificates of deposit and other bank products,  money market funds and
U.S. Treasury  obligations.  Certain of these alternative  investments may offer
fixed rates of return and  guaranteed  principal,  and may be insured.  Economic
indicators may include, without limitation, indicators of market rate trends and
cost of funds,  such as Federal Home Loan Bank Board 11th District Cost of Funds
Index (COFI).

    Each Series' shares are sold at net asset value.  Each Series'  returns will
fluctuate.  Shares of a Series are redeemable by an investor at the then current
net  asset  value,  which  may be more or less than  original  cost.  Additional
information  concerning  each Series'  performance  appears in the  Statement of
Additional  Information,  and in the Trust's Annual Report to Shareholders which
may be obtained, without charge, by writing or calling the Trust.

                                   TAX STATUS

    The  Trust's  policy  is to meet the  requirements  of  Subchapter  M of the
Internal  Revenue Code.  Each Series  intends to distribute  all its taxable net
investment income and capital gains to shareholders,  and therefore, will not be
required to pay any federal income taxes.

    Each Series of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for purposes of the
regulated  investment  company  provisions of the Internal  Revenue  Code,  and,
therefore,  the assets,  income, and distributions of each Series are considered
separately for purposes of determining  whether or not the Series qualifies as a
regulated investment company.

    Owners of Polices should consult the applicable  Account prospectus for more
detailed information on tax issues related to the Policies.

                      APPENDIX A -- RATINGS OF INVESTMENTS

COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

A-1, A-2 AND PRIME-1, PRIME-2 COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

    Commercial  paper rated by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group has the following
characteristics:  Liquidity  ratios  are  adequate  to meet  cash  requirements.
Long-term senior debt is rated "A" or better.  The issuer has access to at least
two  additional  channels of  borrowing.  Basic  earnings  and cash flow have an
upward  trend with  allowance  made for unusual  circumstances.  Typically,  the
issuer's  industry  is well  established  and the issuer  has a strong  position
within the industry. The reliability and quality of management are unquestioned.
Relative  strength  or  weakness  of the above  factors  determine  whether  the
issuer's commercial paper is rated A-1 or A-2.

    The ratings Prime-1 and Prime-2 are the two highest commercial paper ratings
assigned by Moody's Investors  Service,  Inc. Among the factors considered by it
in assigning ratings are the following:  (1) evaluation of the management of the
issuer;  (2) economic  evaluation of the issuer's  industry or industries and an
appraisal of speculative-type  risks which may be inherent in certain areas; (3)
evaluation   of  the   issuer's   products  in  relation  to   competition   and
customer-acceptance;  (4) liquidity;  (5) amount and quality of long-term  debt;
(6) trend of earnings over a period of ten years;  (7)  financial  strength of a
parent  company  and the  relationships  which  exist with the  issuer;  and (8)
recognition by the  management of obligations  which may be present or may arise
as a  result  of  public  interest  questions  and  preparations  to  meet  such
obligations.  Relative  strength  or weakness  of the above  factors  determines
whether the issuer's commercial paper is rated Prime-1 or 2.

CORPORATE BONDS

STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP BOND RATINGS

     AAA. Debt rated AAA has the highest  rating  assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

     AA. Debt rated AA has a very  strong  capacity  to pay  interest  and repay
principal and differs from the higher rated issued only in small degree.

     A. Debt rated A has a strong  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal
although it is somewhat more  susceptible  to the adverse  effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.

     BBB.  Debt rated BBB is  regarded  as having an  adequate  capacity  to pay
interest and repay principal.  Whereas it normally exhibits adequate  protection
parameters,  adverse  economic  conditions  or changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal  for
debt in this category than in higher rated categories.

     BB, B, CCC,  CC, C. Debt  rated  BB,  B, CCC,  CC,  and C is  regarded,  on
balance,  as predominantly  speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest
and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates
the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation.  While
such debt will likely have some quality and  protective  characteristics,  these
are  outweighed  by large  uncertainties  or major  risk  exposures  to  adverse
conditions.

     CI. The rating CI is  reserved  for income  bonds on which no  interest  is
being paid.

     D. Debt rated D is in default,  and payment of interest and/or repayment of
principal is in arrears.

MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. BOND RATINGS

     AAA.  Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.  They
carry the smallest  degree of investment  risk and are generally  referred to as
"gilt-edge."  Interest  payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are
likely to change,  such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

     AA.  Bonds  which are  rated Aa are  judged  to be of high  quality  by all
standards.  Together with the Aaa group,  they comprise what are generally known
as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective
elements  may be of greater  amplitude  or there may be other  elements  present
which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

     A. Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and
are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations.  Factors giving security
to principal  and interest are  considered  adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

     BAA. Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium grade  obligations,
i.e., they are neither highly  protected nor poorly secured.  Interest  payments
and principal  security appear  adequate for the present but certain  protective
elements may be lacking or may be  characteristically  unreliable over any great
length of time.

     Such bonds lack outstanding  investment  characteristics and, in fact, have
speculative characteristics as well.

     BA. Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their
future cannot be considered  as well assured.  Often the  protection of interest
and  principal  payments may be very  moderate and thereby not well  safeguarded
during  both  good  and bad  times  over the  future.  Uncertainty  of  position
characterizes bonds in this class.

     B. Bonds which are rated B generally lack  characteristics of the desirable
investment.  Assurance of interest and principal  payments or of  maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

     CAA. Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing.  Such issues may be in
default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal and
interest.

     CA. Bonds which are rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in
a  high  degree.  Such  issues  are  often  in  default  or  have  other  marked
shortcomings.

     C. Bonds  which are rated C are the lowest  rated class of bonds and issues
so rated can be regarded as having  extremely  poor  prospects of ever attaining
any real investment standing.

MUNICIPAL BONDS

STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS

     AAA. Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

     AA.  Bonds rated AA have a very strong  capacity to pay  interest and repay
principal and differ from the higher rated issues only in small degree.

     A. Bonds which are rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal  although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in  circumstances  and  economic  conditions  than debt in higher  rated
categories.

     BBB. Bonds which are rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate  capacity
to pay interest and repay  principal.  Whereas they  normally  exhibit  adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are
more likely to lead to a weakened  capacity to pay interest and repay  principal
for bonds in this category than for bonds in higher rated categories.

     Plus (+) or Minus (--): The ratings from "AA" to "B" may be modified by the
addition  of a plus or minus  sign to show  relative  standing  within the major
rating categories.

length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding  investment  characteristics and, in
fact, have speculative characteristics as well.

     NOTE:  Moody's  applies  numerical  modifiers,  1, 2 AND 3 in each  generic
rating classification from "AA" through "B" in its corporate bond rating system.
The  modifier  1  indicates  that the  security  ranks in the  higher end of its
generic rating category;  the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range  rankng;  and the
modifier  indicates  that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating
category.

                         GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

         The 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 offers shares in 36 separate Series, each with its
own investment objective.

                INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL SERIES

Fundamental Policies. As indicated in the Prospectus,  each Series is subject to
certain  fundamental  policies and restrictions  that may not be changed without
shareholder  approval.  Shareholder approval means approval by the lesser of (i)
more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust (or a particular
Series if a matter affects just that Series),  or (ii) 67% or more of the voting
securities  present  at a  meeting  if  the  holders  of  more  than  50% of the
outstanding  voting securities of the Trust (or a particular Series) are present
or represented by proxy. Unless otherwise  indicated,  all restrictions apply at
the time of investment.

     (1) It shall be a  fundamental  policy  that each  Series,  except  the JNL
Capital Growth Series,  JNL/S&P  Conservative  Growth Series I, JNL/S&P Moderate
Growth Series I, JNL/S&P  Aggressive  Growth  Series I, JNL/S&P Very  Aggressive

Series,  shall be a  "diversified  company",  as such term is defined  under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

     (2) No Series  may  invest  more than 25% of the value of their  respective
assets in any  particular  industry  (other  than U.S.  Government  securities);
except the PPM America/JNL Money Market Series.

     (3) No Series may  invest  directly  in real  estate or  interests  in real
estate;  however,  the  Series  may own  debt or  equity  securities  issued  by
companies engaged in those businesses.

     (4) No Series may purchase or sell physical  commodities other than foreign
currencies  unless  acquired as a result of  ownership of  securities  (but this
limitation  shall not  prevent the Series from  purchasing  or selling  options,
futures,  swaps and forward  contracts or from  investing in securities or other
instruments backed by physical commodities).

   
     (5) No Series may lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result,
more than 33 1/3% of a Series'  total assets would be lent to other parties (but
this limitation does not apply to purchases of commercial paper, debt securities
or repurchase agreements).
    

     (6) No Series may act as an  underwriter  of  securities  issued by others,
except to the extent that a Series may be deemed an  underwriter  in  connection
with the disposition of portfolio securities of such Series.

   
     (7) No Series may invest  more than 15% of a Series' net assets (10% in the
case of the PPM America/JNL Money Market Series and the JNL/Alger Growth Series)
in illiquid  securities.  This limitation does not apply to securities  eligible
for resale  pursuant to Rule 144A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 or  Commercial
Paper  issued in reliance  upon the  exemption  from  registration  contained in
Section 4(2) of that Act, which have been  determined to be liquid in accordance
with guidelines established by the Board of Trustees.
    

     (8) The Series will not issue senior securities except that they may borrow
money for temporary or emergency  purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in
an amount  not  exceeding  25% of the  value of their  respective  total  assets
(including the amount borrowed) less  liabilities  (other than  borrowings).  If
borrowings  exceed  25% of the  value of a Series'  total  assets by reason of a
decline in net  assets,  the Series  will  reduce its  borrowings  within  three
business days to the extent  necessary to comply with the 25%  limitation.  This
policy shall not prohibit reverse repurchase  agreements,  deposits of assets to
margin or guarantee positions in futures,  options, swaps and forward contracts,
or the segregation of assets in connection with such contracts.

Operating Policies. The Trustees have adopted additional investment restrictions
for the Series.  These restrictions are operating policies of the Series and may
be  changed  by  the  Trustees  without  shareholder  approval.  The  additional
investment restrictions adopted by the Trustees to date include the following:

   
     (a) The  Series  intend  to  comply  with  the  Commodity  Futures  Trading
Commission  ("CFTC")  regulations  limiting a Series' investments in futures and
options for non-hedging purposes.
    

Insurance Law  Restrictions.  In connection  with the Trust's  agreement to sell
shares to the  separate  accounts,  Jackson  National  Financial  Services,  LLC
("JNFSLLC") and the insurance  companies may enter into agreements,  required by
certain state  insurance  departments,  under which JNFSLLC may agree to use its
best  efforts to assure and to permit  insurance  companies to monitor that each
Series of the Trust complies with the investment  restrictions  and  limitations
prescribed by state insurance laws and regulations  applicable to the investment
of separate  account  assets in shares of mutual  funds.  If a Series  failed to
comply with such  restrictions or limitations,  the insurance company would take
appropriate action which might include ceasing to make investments in the Series
or withdrawing  from the state imposing the limitation.  Such  restrictions  and
limitations  are  not  expected  to have a  significant  impact  on the  Trust's
operations.

                           COMMON TYPES OF SECURITIES

Asset-Backed  Securities.  The credit  quality of most  asset-backed  securities
depends   primarily  on  the  credit  quality  of  the  assets  underlying  such
securities,  how well the entity  issuing  the  security is  insulated  from the
credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated  entities,  and the amount
and  quality of any  credit  support  provided  to the  securities.  The rate of
principal  payment on asset-backed  securities  generally depends on the rate of
principal  payments  received  on the  underlying  assets  which  in turn may be
affected by a variety of economic and other factors.  As a result,  the yield on
any  asset-backed  security is difficult to predict  with  precision  and actual
yield to maturity  may be more or less than the  anticipated  yield to maturity.
Asset-backed  securities  may be  classified  as  pass-through  certificates  or
collateralized obligations.

     Pass-through  certificates are  asset-backed  securities which represent an
undivided  fractional  ownership  interest  in an  underlying  pool  of  assets.
Pass-through certificates usually provide for payments of principal and interest
received to be passed  through to their  holders,  usually  after  deduction for
certain  costs  and  expenses  incurred  in  administering  the  pool.   Because
pass-through  certificates  represent  an ownership  interest in the  underlying
assets,  the  holders  thereof  bear  directly  the risk of any  defaults by the
obligors on the underlying assets not covered by any credit support.

     Asset-backed securities issued in the form of debt instruments,  also known
as  collateralized  obligations,  are generally  issued as the debt of a special
purpose  entity  organized  solely  for the  purpose of owning  such  assets and
issuing such debt.  Such assets are most often trade,  credit card or automobile
receivables. The assets collateralizing such asset-backed securities are pledged
to a trustee or custodian  for the benefit of the holders  hereof.  Such issuers
generally hold no assets other than those underlying the asset-backed securities
and  any  credit  support  provided.  As a  result,  although  payments  on such
asset-backed securities are obligations of the issuers, in the event of defaults
on the underlying assets not covered by any credit support, the issuing entities
are  unlikely to have  sufficient  assets to satisfy  their  obligations  on the
related asset-backed securities.

Bank Obligations.  Bank obligations  include  certificates of deposit,  bankers'
acceptances, and other short-term debt obligations.  Certificates of deposit are
short-term  obligations  of commercial  banks.  A bankers'  acceptance is a time
draft drawn on a  commercial  bank by a  borrower,  usually in  connection  with
international commercial transactions. Certificates of deposit may have fixed or
variable rates.  The Series may invest in U.S. banks,  foreign  branches of U.S.
banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, and foreign branches of foreign banks.

Collateralized   Mortgage   Obligations   (CMOs).   CMOs  are  bonds   that  are
collateralized by whole loan mortgages or mortgage pass-through securities.  The
bonds issued in a CMO  transaction  are divided  into groups,  and each group of
bonds is referred to as a "tranche."  Under the traditional  CMO structure,  the
cash flows generated by the mortgages or mortgage pass-through securities in the
collateral pool are used to first pay interest and then pay principal to the CMO
bondholders.  The bonds issued under a CMO structure are retired sequentially as
opposed to the pro rata return of principal  found in  traditional  pass-through
obligations.  Subject to the various  provisions of individual  CMO issues,  the
cash flow generated by the  underlying  collateral (to the extent it exceeds the
amount required to pay the stated  interest) is used to retire the bonds.  Under
the CMO structure,  the repayment of principal  among the different  tranches is
prioritized in accordance  with the terms of the  particular  CMO issuance.  The
"fastest-pay"  tranche of bonds,  as specified in the  prospectus for the issue,
would initially  receive all principal  payments.  When that tranche of bonds is
retired,  the next tranche,  or tranches,  in the sequence,  as specified in the
prospectus,  receive all of the principal  payments until they are retired.  The
sequential retirement of bonds groups continues until the last tranche, or group
of bonds, is retired.  Accordingly,  the CMO structure  allows the issuer to use
cash flows of long maturity, monthly-pay collateral to formulate securities with
short, intermediate and long final maturities and expected average lives.

Commercial  Paper.  Commercial  paper are short-term  promissory notes issued by
corporations  primarily to finance  short-term  credit needs.  Certain notes may
have floating or variable rates.

Foreign  Government  Securities.  Foreign  government  securities  are issued or
guaranteed  by  a  foreign  government,  province,  instrumentality,   political
subdivision or similar unit thereof.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies. Some foreign countries limit, or prohibit,
all direct foreign investment in the securities of their companies. However, the
governments  of some countries have  authorized the  organization  of investment
funds to permit indirect foreign investment in such securities. For tax purposes
these funds may be known as Passive Foreign Investment Companies.

High Yield Bonds.  High yield bonds are fixed income  securities  offering  high
current  income  that are in the lower rated  categories  of  recognized  rating
agencies or not rated. These lower-rated fixed income securities are considered,
on  balance,  as  predominantly  speculative  with  respect to  capacity  to pay
interest and repay  principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation and
generally  will  involve  more credit risk than  securities  in the higher rated
categories.

         High yield  securities  frequently  are issued by  corporations  in the
growth stage of their development.  They may also be issued in connection with a
corporate reorganization or a corporate takeover. Companies that issue such high
yielding  securities  often are highly  leveraged and may not have  available to
them more traditional methods of financing.  Therefore, the risk associated with
acquiring the  securities of such issuers  generally is greater than is the case
with higher  rated  securities.  For  example,  during an  economic  downturn or
recession,  highly  leveraged  issuers of high yield  securities  may experience
financial  stress.  During such  periods,  such issuers may not have  sufficient
revenues to meet their interest  payment  obligations.  The issuer's  ability to
service  its  debt  obligations  may  also be  adversely  affected  by  specific
corporate  developments,  or the issuer's  inability to meet specific  projected
business  forecasts,  or the  unavailability  of additional  financing.  Adverse
publicity and investor  perceptions  regarding lower rated bonds, whether or not
based upon fundamental analysis, may also depress the price for such securities.
The risk of loss from  default by the issuer is  significantly  greater  for the
holders of high yield securities because such securities are generally unsecured
and are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

Hybrid Instruments.  Hybrid instruments have recently been developed and combine
the  elements  of futures  contracts  or options  with those of debt,  preferred
equity or a depository instrument. Often these hybrid instruments are indexed to
the price of commodity,  a particular currency, or a domestic or foreign debt or
equity  securities  index.  Hybrid  instruments  may take a  variety  of  forms,
including,  but not limited  to, debt  instruments  with  interest or  principal
payments or redemption  terms determined by reference to the value of a currency
or commodity or securities index at a future point in time, preferred stock with
dividend  rates  determined  by  reference  to  the  value  of  a  currency,  or
convertible  securities  with  the  conversion  terms  related  to a  particular
commodity.

Mortgage-Backed   Securities.    Mortgage-backed   securities   are   securities
representing  an  interest in a pool of  mortgages.  The  mortgages  may be of a
variety of types,  including  adjustable rate,  conventional 30-year fixed rate,
graduated  payment,  and 15-year.  Principal  and interest  payments made on the
mortgages in the underlying mortgage pool are passed through to the Series. This
is in contrast to  traditional  bonds where  principal is normally  paid back at
maturity  in a lump  sum.  Unscheduled  prepayments  of  principal  shorten  the
securities'  weighted  average  life and may lower their total  return.  (When a
mortgage in the underlying  mortgage pool is prepaid,  an unscheduled  principal
prepayment is passed  through to the Series.  This  principal is returned to the
Series at par. As a result,  if a mortgage  security were trading at a discount,
its  total  return  would  be  increased  by  prepayments).  The  value of these
securities also may change because of changes in the market's  perception of the
creditworthiness  of the federal  agency  that issued  them.  In  addition,  the
mortgage  securities  market in general may be adversely  affected by changes in
governmental regulation or tax policies.

Repurchase  Agreements.   A  repurchase  agreement  may  be  considered  a  loan
collateralized  by securities.  The Series must take physical  possession of the
security or receive  written  confirmation  of the  purchase  and a custodial or
safekeeping  receipt  from a third  party  or be  recorded  as the  owner of the
security through the Federal Reserve Book Entry System. The Series may invest in
open  repurchase  agreements  which  vary  from  the  typical  agreement  in the
following respects:  (1) the agreement has no set maturity,  but instead matures
upon 24  hours'  notice  to the  seller;  and (2) the  repurchase  price  is not
determined at the time the agreement is entered into,  but is instead based on a
variable interest rate and the duration of the agreement. In addition, a Series,
together with other registered investment companies having management agreements
with an  investment  adviser or its  affiliates  may  transfer  uninvested  cash
balances into a single joint account,  the daily aggregate balance of which will
be invested in one or more repurchase agreements.

Savings and Loan Obligations.  Savings and loan obligations  include  negotiable
certificates  of deposit and other  short-term  debt  obligations of savings and
loan associations.

Short-Term  Corporate Debt Securities.  Short-term corporate debt securities are
outstanding   non-convertible   corporate  debt  securities  (e.g.,   bonds  and
debentures) which have one year or less remaining to maturity.
Corporate notes may have fixed, variable, or floating rates.

Stripped Agency  Mortgage-Backed  Securities.  Stripped  agency  mortgage-backed
securities  represent  interests in a pool of mortgages,  the cash flow of which
has been separated into its interest and principal  components.  "IOs" (interest
only  securities)  receive  the  interest  portion of the cash flow while  "POs"
(principal  only  securities)  receive the principal  portion.  Stripped  agency
mortgage-backed  securities  may be issued  by U.S.  Government  agencies  or by
private   issuers   similar  to  those   described  with  respect  to  CMOs  and
privately-issued  mortgage-backed certificates. As interest rates rise and fall,
the value of IOs tends to move in the same  direction  as  interest  rates.  The
value of the other mortgage-backed  securities described herein, like other debt
instruments,  will tend to move in the opposite  direction  compared to interest
rates. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), POs may
generate  taxable income from the current  accrual of original  issue  discount,
without a corresponding distribution of cash to the Series.

     The cash flows and yields on IO and PO classes are  extremely  sensitive to
the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying
mortgage  assets.  For example,  a rapid or slow rate of principal  payments may
have a material adverse effect on the prices of IOs or POs, respectively. If the
underlying  mortgage assets experience  greater than anticipated  prepayments of
principal,  an investor may fail to recoup fully its initial investment in an IO
class of a stripped mortgage-backed  security, even if the IO class is rated AAA
or Aaa or is derived from a full faith and credit obligation. Conversely, if the
underlying  mortgage assets  experience  slower than anticipated  prepayments of
principal,  the price on a PO class will be affected more severely than would be
the case with a traditional mortgage-backed security.

Supranational Agency Securities.  Supranational agency securities are securities
issued  or  guaranteed   by  certain   supranational   entities,   such  as  the
International Development Bank.

U.S. Government Agency Securities.  U.S. Government agency securities are issued
or guaranteed by U.S.  Government  sponsored  enterprises and federal  agencies.
These include  securities issued by the Federal National  Mortgage  Association,
Government National Mortgage  Association,  Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Land
Banks, Farmers Home Administration, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks,  Federal  Financing  Bank,  Farm Credit Banks,  the Small Business
Association,  Student  Loan  Marketing  Association,  and the  Tennessee  Valley
Authority.  Some of these  securities are supported by the full faith and credit
of the U.S.  Treasury;  the remainder  are  supported  only by the credit of the
instrumentality,  which may or may not include the right of the issuer to borrow
from the Treasury.

U.S. Government  Obligations.  U.S. Government obligations include bills, notes,
bonds, and other debt securities issued by the U.S.  Treasury.  These are direct
obligations  of the U.S.  Government  and  differ  mainly in the length of their
maturities.

Variable  Rate  Securities.  Variable  rate  securities  provide  for a periodic
adjustment  in the  interest  rate  paid on the  obligations.  The terms of such
obligations  must provide that interest  rates are adjusted  periodically  based
upon  some  appropriate  interest  rate  adjustment  index  as  provided  in the
respective  obligations.  The adjustment intervals may be regular and range from
daily up to annually,  or may be event  based,  such as on a change in the prime
rate.  Variable Rate Securities that cannot be disposed of promptly within seven
days and in the usual course of business  without taking a reduced price will be
treated as illiquid and subject to the  limitation  on  investments  in illiquid
securities.

Warrants.  A Series may invest in warrants.  Warrants have no voting rights, pay
no dividends  and have no rights with  respect to the assets of the  corporation
issuing them.  Warrants basically are options to purchase equity securities at a
specific  price  valid  for a  specific  period of time.  They do not  represent
ownership of the  securities,  but only the right to buy them.  Warrants  differ
from call  options in that  warrants  are  issued by the issuer of the  security
which may be purchased on their exercise, whereas call options may be written or
issued by anyone. The prices of warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the
prices of the underlying securities.

When-Issued  Securities and Forward Commitment Contracts.  A Series may purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis  ("When-Issueds")  and may
purchase  securities on a forward commitment basis  ("Forwards").  Any or all of
the Series'  investments in debt  securities may be in the form of  When-Issueds
and  Forwards.  The price of such  securities,  which may be  expressed in yield
terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is made, but delivery and
payment take place at a later date. Normally,  the settlement date occurs within
90 days of the purchase for  When-Issueds,  but may be substantially  longer for
Forwards.  During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made
by the Series to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Series.  The purchase
of these  securities  will result in a loss if their value declines prior to the
settlement date. This could occur, for example, if interest rates increase prior
to  settlement.  The longer the period  between  purchase  and  settlement,  the
greater the risks. At the time the Series makes the commitment to purchase these
securities, it will record the transaction and reflect the value of the security
in  determining  its net  asset  value.  The  Series  will  segregate  for these
securities by  maintaining  cash and/or  liquid  assets with its custodian  bank
equal in value to commitments  for them during the time between the purchase and
the settlement.  Therefore, the longer this period, the longer the period during
which  alternative  investment  options are not  available to the Series (to the
extent of the securities used for cover). Such securities either will mature or,
if necessary, be sold on or before the settlement date.

Zero Coupon  Bonds.  Zero coupon  bonds do not make regular  interest  payments;
rather,  they are sold at a discount  from face value.  Principal  and  accreted
discount  (representing  interest  accrued  but not paid) are paid at  maturity.
Strips  are debt  securities  that are  stripped  of their  interest  after  the
securities are issued,  but otherwise are  comparable to zero coupon bonds.  The
market value of strips and zero coupon bonds generally fluctuates in response to
changes in interest rates to a greater degree than interest-paying securities of
comparable term and quality.

Inflation  Indexed Bonds.  Inflation-indexed  bonds are fixed income  securities
whose  principal  value  is  periodically  adjusted  according  to the  rate  of
inflation.  Such  bonds  generally  are  issued at an  interest  rate lower than
typical bonds,  but are expected to retain their  principal value over time. The
interest rate on these bonds is fixed at issuance, but over the life of the bond
the  interest  may be paid on an  increasing  principal  value,  which  has been
adjusted for inflation.

     Inflation-indexed  securities  issued by the U.S.  Treasury will  initially
have  maturities of ten years,  although it is anticipated  that securities with
other maturities will be issued in the future.  The securities will pay interest
on a semi-annual  basis,  equal to a fixed percentage of the  inflation-adjusted
principal amount. For example, if a Series purchased an  inflation-indexed  bond
with a par value of $1,000  and a 3% real rate of return  coupon  (payable  1.5%
semi-annually),  and  inflation  over the first six months were 1%, the mid-year
par value of the bond  would be $1,010  and the first  annual  interest  payment
would be $15.15 ($1,010 times 1.5%). If inflation  during the second half of the
year reached 3%, the  end-of-year  par value of the bond would be $1,030 and the
second semi-annual interest payment would be $15.45 ($1,030 times 1.5%).

     If the periodic  adjustment rate measuring  inflation  falls, the principal
value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward, and consequently the
interest  payable  on these  securities  (calculated  with  respect to a smaller
principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon
maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S.  Treasury
inflation-indexed bonds, even during a period of deflation. However, the current
market value of the bonds is not guaranteed,  and will fluctuate. The Series may
also  invest in other  inflation  related  bonds  which may or may not provide a
similar  guarantee.  If a guarantee of principal is not  provided,  the adjusted
principal  value of the bond  repaid at maturity  may be less than the  original
principal.

     The value of  inflation-indexed  bonds is expected to change in response to
changes in real  interest  rates.  Real  interest  rates in turn are tied to the
relationship   between  nominal  interest  rates  and  the  rate  of  inflation.
Therefore,  if  inflation  were to rise at a faster rate than  nominal  interest
rates,  real interest  rates might  decline,  leading to an increase in value of
inflation-indexed  bonds. In contract,  if nominal interest rates increased at a
faster  rate than  inflation,  real  interest  rates  might  rise,  leading to a
decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds.

     The U.S. Treasury has only recently begun issuing  inflation-indexed bonds.
As such,  there is no trading history of these  securities,  and there can be no
assurance that a liquid market in these  instruments will develop,  although one
is expected.  Lack of a liquid market may impose the risk of higher  transaction
costs and the  possibility  that a Series may be forced to  liquidate  positions
when it would not be  advantageous to do so. These also can be no assurance that
the U.S. Treasury will issue any particular amount of  inflation-indexed  bonds.
Certain foreign governments,  such as the United Kingdom,  Canada and Australia,
have a longer  history of issuing  inflation-indexed  bonds,  and there may be a
more liquid market in certain of these countries for these securities.

     The  periodic  adjustment  of  U.S.  inflation-index  bonds  is tied to the
Consumer Price-Index for Urban Consumers ("CPI-U"),  which is calculated monthly
by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI-U is a measurement of changes in
the cost of living, made up of components such as housing, food,  transportation
and energy. Inflation-indexed bonds issued by a foreign government are generally
adjusted to reflect a comparable inflation index, calculated by that government.
There can be no  assurance  that the CPI-U or any foreign  inflation  index will
accurately  measure  the real  rate of  inflation  in the  prices  of goods  and
services.  Moreover,  there can be no assurance  that the rate of inflation in a
foreign  country  will be  correlated  to the rate of  inflation  in the  United
States.

     Any increase in the principal amount of an  inflation-indexed  bond will be
considered  taxable ordinary income,  even though investors do not receive their
principal until maturity.

Standard & Poor's Depository  Receipts.  Standard & Poor's  Depository  Receipts
("SPDRs") are American Stock Exchange-traded securities that represent ownership
in the SPDR Trust,  a trust which has been  established to accumulate and hold a
portfolio of common stocks that is intended to track the price  performance  and
dividend yield of the S&P 500 Index.  This trust is sponsored by a subsidiary of
the American Stock Exchange. SPDRs may be used for several reasons including but
not limited to:  facilitating the handling of cash flows or trading, or reducing
transaction costs. The use of SPDRs would introduce  additional risk to a Series
as the price  movement of the instrument  does not perfectly  correlate with the
price action of the underlying index.

                       TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS OF THE TRUST

     The  officers  of the  Trust  manage  its  day to day  operations  and  are
responsible  to the Trust's Board of Trustees.  The trustees set broad  policies
for each Series and choose the Trust's officers.  The following is a list of the
trustees and officers of the Trust and a statement  of their  present  positions
and principal occupations during the past five years. The mailing address of the
officers and trustees, unless otherwise noted, is 5901 Executive Drive, Lansing,
Michigan 48911.

*Trustees who are interested persons as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940.

   
     On September 14, 1998, the officers and trustees of the Trust,  as a group,
owned less than 1% of the then  outstanding  shares of the Trust.  To the extent
required by applicable law, Jackson National Life Insurance Company will solicit
voting  instructions  from owners of  variable  insurance  or  variable  annuity
contracts.  All  shares of each  Series of the  Trust  will be voted by  Jackson
National Life Insurance Company in accordance with voting instructions  received
from such variable contract owners. Jackson National Life Insurance Company will
vote all of the shares  which it is entitled to vote in the same  proportion  as
the  voting  instructions  given by  variable  contract  owners,  on the  issues
presented,  including  shares which are  attributable  to Jackson  National Life
Insurance Company's interest in the Trust.
    

     The trustees who are "interested  persons" and officers as designated above
receive no  compensation  from the Trust.  Disinterested  Trustees  will be paid
$4,000 for each meeting they attend.  For the year ended  December 31, 1997, the
disinterested Trustees received the following fees for service as Trustee:

                                   PERFORMANCE

     As described in the  Prospectus,  a Series'  historical  performance may be
shown in the form of total  return and yield.  These  performance  measures  are
described below.  Performance advertised for a Series may or may not reflect the
effect of any charges that are imposed under a variable annuity or variable life
contract that is funded by the Trust.  Such  charges,  described in the variable
annuity or variable life prospectus,  will have the effect of reducing a Series'
performance.

     Standardized average annual total return and non-standardized  total return
measure  both the net  investment  income  generated  by,  and the effect of any
realized  and  unrealized   appreciation  or  depreciation  of,  the  underlying
investments  of a Series.  Yield is a measure of the net  investment  income per
share earned over a specific one month or 30-day  period  (seven-day  period for
the PPM  America/JNL  Money Market Series)  expressed as a percentage of the net
asset value.

     A Series' standardized average annual total return quotation is computed in
accordance with a standardized  method prescribed by rules of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission.  The standardized average annual total return for a Series
for a specific period is found by first taking a hypothetical  $1,000 investment
("initial  investment")  in the  Series'  shares on the first day of the period,
adjusting  to  deduct  the  applicable   charges,  if  any,  and  computing  the
"redeemable  value" of that investment at the end of the period.  The redeemable
value is then divided by the initial  investment,  and this quotient is taken to
the Nth  root (N  representing  the  number  of years  in the  period)  and 1 is
subtracted  from  the  result,  which is then  expressed  as a  percentage.  The
calculation  assumes  that all income and capital  gains  dividends  paid by the
Series have been reinvested at net asset value on the reinvestment  dates during
the period.

     The  standardized  average  annual total return for each Series (except the
PPM America/JNL Money Market Series) for the periods indicated was as follows:

     The standardized  average annual total return quotations will be current to
the  last  day  of  the  calendar  quarter   preceding  the  date  on  which  an
advertisement  is submitted for  publication.  The  standardized  average annual
total return will be based on rolling calendar  quarters and will cover at least
periods of one, five and ten years, or a period covering the time the Series has
been in  existence,  if it has not been in existence  for one of the  prescribed
periods.

     Non-standardized  total  return  may also be  advertised.  Non-standardized
total return may be for periods other than those required to be presented or may
otherwise differ from standardized average annual total return. Non-standardized
total return for a specific  period is  calculated by first taking an investment
("initial  investment") in the Series' shares on the first day of the period and
computing the "end value" of that investment at the end of the period. The total
return percentage is then determined by subtracting the initial  investment from
the ending  value and  dividing  the  remainder  by the initial  investment  and
expressing the result as a percentage.  The calculation  assumes that all income
and capital gains dividends paid by the Series have been reinvested at net asset
value on the reinvestment dates during the period. Non-standardized total return
may also be shown as the increased dollar value of the  hypothetical  investment
over the period.

     Quotations of standardized average annual total return and non-standardized
total  return  are  based  upon  historical  earnings  and will  fluctuate.  Any
quotation of  performance,  therefore,  should not be  considered a guarantee of
future  performance.  Factors  affecting  the  performance  of a Series  include
general market conditions, operating expenses and investment management.

     The yield for a Series other than the PPM  America/JNL  Money Market Series
is computed in accordance with a standardized  method prescribed by the rules of
the SEC.  Under that method,  yield is computed by dividing  the net  investment
income per share earned  during the  specified one month or 30-day period by the
offering  price  per  share  on the  last day of the  period,  according  to the
following formula:

                                     a-b   6                   
                  YIELD   =       2[(---+1)  -1]               
                                     cd
                                    


Where:
         a = dividends and interest earned during the period.
         b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
         c = the average daily number of shares outstanding during the
               period that were entitled to receive dividends
         d = the  offering  price (net asset value) per share on the last day of
               the period.

   
         The yield for the 30-day  period ended June 30,  1998,  for each of the
referenced Series was as follows:

   PPM America/JNL Balanced Series                                    2.73%
   PPM America/JNL High Yield Bond Series                             8.38%
   Salomon Brothers/JNL Global Bond Series                            7.38%
   Salomon Brothers/JNL U.S. Government and Quality Bond Series       5.82%
    

     In computing the foregoing  yield,  the Series follow certain  standardized
accounting practices specified by SEC rules. These practices are not necessarily
consistent  with  those  that the  Series  use to  prepare  annual  and  interim
financial   statements  in  accordance   with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.

   
     The  PPM  America/JNL  Money  Market  Series'  yield  is also  computed  in
accordance with a standardized method prescribed by rules of the SEC. Under that
method,  the  current  yield  quotation  is based on a  seven-day  period and is
computed as follows.  The first  calculation is net investment income per share;
which is accrued  interest  on  portfolio  securities,  plus or minus  amortized
discount or premium,  less accrued expenses.  This number is then divided by the
price per share  (expected to remain  constant at $1.00) at the beginning of the
period ("base period return"). The result is then divided by 7 and multiplied by
365 and the resulting  yield figure is carried to the nearest  one-hundredth  of
one percent.  Realized  capital gains or losses and unrealized  appreciation  or
depreciation  of  investments  are  not  included  in the  calculation.  The PPM
America/JNL  Money Market Series' yield for the seven-day  period ended June 30,
1998, was 4.87%.

     The PPM America/JNL  Money Market Series'  effective yield is determined by
taking the base period return  (computed as described above) and calculating the
effect of assumed  compounding.  The formula for the  effective  yield is: (base
period return + 1)365/7 - 1. The PPM America/JNL  Money Market Series' effective
yield for the seven-day period ended June 30, 1998, was 4.99%.
    

     A Series' performance  quotations are based upon historical results and are
not necessarily  representative  of future  performance.  The Series' shares are
sold at net asset value. Returns and net asset value will fluctuate, except that
the PPM  America/JNL  Money  Market  Series  seeks to maintain a $1.00 net asset
value per share.  Factors affecting a Series' performance include general market
conditions, operating expenses and investment management. Shares of a Series are
redeemable  at the then current net asset value,  which may be more or less than
original cost.

     The  performance  of the Series may be compared to various  other  selected
recognized market indicators. There are differences and similarities between the
investments  which a Series may  purchase  and the  investments  measured by the
market indicators. Each Series may compare its performance to one or more of the
Consumer  Price Index,  the  Standard & Poor's 500 Index,  the Standard & Poor's
MidCap 400 Index,  the Morgan Stanley  Capital  International  World Index,  the

                      INVESTMENT ADVISER AND OTHER SERVICES

     JNFSLLC, 5901 Executive Drive,  Lansing,  Michigan 48911, is the investment
adviser to the Trust.  As investment  adviser,  JNFSLLC  provides the Trust with
professional  investment  supervision  and  management,  administers the Trust's
business affairs, furnishes office facilities and equipment,  provides clerical,
bookkeeping  and  administrative  services,  and permits any of its  officers or
employees to serve without  compensation as trustees or officers of the Trust if
elected to such  positions.  JNFSLLC  is a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Jackson
National  Life  Insurance  Company,  which is in turn wholly owned by Prudential
Corporation plc, a life insurance company in the United Kingdom.

     JNFSLLC  acts as  investment  adviser to the Trust  pursuant  to an Amended
Investment  Advisory and Management  Agreement.  Prior to July 1, 1998,  Jackson
National  Financial  Services,  Inc.  acted as investment  adviser to the Trust.
Jackson National  Financial  Services,  Inc.  transferred the Amended Investment
Advisory and Management Agreement,  all related investment management duties and
its related  professional staff to JNFSLLC on July 1, 1998, with the approval of
the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

     The Amended  Investment  Advisory  and  Management  Agreement  continues in
effect for each Series from year to year after its initial two-year term so long
as its  continuation  is  approved  at least  annually  by (i) a majority of the
Trustees who are not parties to such agreement or interested persons of any such
party  except  in  their  capacity  as  Trustees  of the  Trust,  and  (ii)  the
shareholders  of each Series or the Board of Trustees.  It may be  terminated at
any time upon 60 days  notice  by either  party,  or by a  majority  vote of the
outstanding  shares of a Series with respect to that Series,  and will terminate
automatically  upon assignment.  Additional Series may be subject to a different
agreement.  The Amended  Investment  Advisory and Management  Agreement provides
that  JNFSLLC  shall not be liable  for any error of  judgment,  or for any loss
suffered by the Series in  connection  with the  matters to which the  agreement
relates,  except a loss resulting from willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross
negligence  on the part of JNFSLLC in the  performance  of its  obligations  and
duties,  or by reason of its reckless  disregard of its  obligations  and duties
under the agreement.  As compensation for its services, the Trust pays JNFSLLC a
fee as  described  in the  Prospectus.  The fees  paid by the  Trust to  Jackson
National Financial  Services,  Inc. pursuant to the Amended Investment  Advisory
and Management  Agreement from the  commencement of operations to March 31, 1996
were $701,004, from April 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996 were $1,884,328,  and for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 were $7,264,087.

     In addition to providing  the services  described  above  JNFSLLC  selects,
contracts  with and  compensates  sub-advisers  to  manage  the  investment  and
reinvestment  of the  assets of the Series of the Trust.  JNFSLLC  monitors  the
compliance  of such  sub-advisers  with the  investment  objectives  and related
policies of each Series and reviews the  performance  of such  sub-advisers  and
reports periodically on such performance to the Trustees of the Trust.

not parties to such agreement or interested  persons of any such party except in
their capacity as Trustees of the Series and by the  shareholders of each Series

the  Series.  Additional  Series may be subject to a  different  agreement.  The
sub-advisers  are  responsible  for compliance  with or have agreed to use their
best  efforts  to manage  the Series to comply  with the  provisions  of Section
817(h) of the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended,  applicable  to each
Series (relating to the diversification  requirements  applicable to investments
in underlying variable annuity contracts).

     The Trust pays the compensation of the Trustees who are not affiliated with

public  accountants,  legal  counsel,  and any transfer  agent,  registrar,  and

return for the fee,  JNFSLLC  provides or procures all necessary  administrative
functions and services for the operation of the Series. In addition, JNFSLLC, at
its own  expense,  will  arrange for legal,  audit,  fund  accounting,  custody,
printing and mailing, and all other services necessary for the operation of each

     JNFSLLC is the transfer agent and dividend-paying  agent for each Series of
the Trust.

   
Independent     Accountants.     The    Series'     independent     accountants,
PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP, 200 East Randolph Drive,  Chicago,  Illinois 60601,
audit and report on the Series' annual financial  statements,  and perform other
professional accounting, auditing and advisory services when engaged to do so by
the Series.
    

Series  Transactions  and  Brokerage.  The primary  consideration  in  portfolio
security transactions is "best execution," i.e., execution at the most favorable
prices and in the most effective manner  possible.  JNFSLLC and the sub-advisers
always  attempt to achieve best  execution and have  complete  freedom as to the
markets in and the broker/dealers  through which they seek this result.  Subject
to the requirement of seeking best  execution,  securities may be bought from or
sold to  broker/dealers  who have  furnished  statistical,  research,  and other
information or services to JNFSLLC or the  sub-advisers.  In placing orders with
such  broker/dealers,  JNFSLLC and the sub-advisers  will, where possible,  take
into account the comparative usefulness of such information. Such information is
useful to JNFSLLC  and the  sub-advisers  even  though  its dollar  value may be
indeterminable  and its  receipt  or  availability  generally  does  not  reduce
JNFSLLC's or the sub-advisers' normal research activities or expenses.

     Trust portfolio  transactions may be effected with  broker/dealers who have
assisted investors in the purchase of policies. However, neither such assistance
nor sale of other  investment  company  shares is a qualifying or  disqualifying
factor in a broker/dealer's selection, nor is the selection of any broker/dealer
based on the volume of shares sold.

     There  may be  occasions  when  portfolio  transactions  for the  Trust are
executed  as part of  concurrent  authorizations  to  purchase  or sell the same
security for trusts or other accounts served by affiliated  companies of JNFSLLC
or the sub-advisers.  Although such concurrent authorizations  potentially could
be either  advantageous or  disadvantageous to the Trust, they are effected only
when  JNFSLLC and the  sub-advisers  believe that to do so is in the interest of
the Trust.  When such  concurrent  authorizations  occur the executions  will be
allocated in an equitable manner.

     During the  periods  indicated,  the Series paid the  following  amounts in
brokerage commissions:

Code of Ethics.  To mitigate  the  possibility  that a Series will be  adversely
affected  by  personal  trading of  employees,  the Trust,  the  Adviser and the
Sub-Advisers  have  adopted  Codes of Ethics  under  Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act.
These Codes contain policies restricting securities trading in personal accounts
of the  portfolio  managers  and others who  normally  come into  possession  of
information  on  portfolio  transactions.  These Codes  comply,  in all material
respects, with the recommendations of the Investment Company Institute.

                  PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND PRICING OF SHARES

     An insurance company or certain tax qualified retirement plans may purchase
shares of the Series at their net asset value. For an insurance company,  shares
are purchased using premiums  received on policies issued by separate  accounts.
These separate accounts are funded by shares of the Trust.

     All investments in the Trust are credited to the  shareholder's  account in
the form of full and fractional  shares of the designated Series (rounded to the
nearest 1/1000 of a share). The Trust does not issue share certificates.

     As stated in the  Prospectus,  the net asset value ("NAV") of Series shares
is determined once each day on which the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") is
open  ("Business  Day")  at the  close of the  regular  trading  session  of the
Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m.,  Eastern Time, Monday through Friday).  The NAV of
Series  shares is not  determined  on the days the NYSE is  closed,  which  days
generally are New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. holiday,  President's  Day,
Good  Friday,  Memorial  Day,  Independence  Day,  Labor Day,  Thanksgiving  and
Christmas.

     The per share NAV of a Series is  determined by dividing the total value of
the securities and other assets, less liabilities, by the total number of shares
outstanding.  In determining NAV,  securities listed on the national  securities
exchanges,  the NASDAQ  National  Market and  foreign  markets are valued at the
closing  prices on such  markets,  or if such price is lacking  for the  trading
period  immediately  preceding the time of  determination,  such  securities are
valued  at  their  current  bid  price.   Securities  that  are  traded  on  the
over-the-counter  market  are  valued  at  their  closing  bid  prices.  Foreign
securities and currencies are converted to U.S.  dollars using exchange rates in
effect at the time of  valuation.  A Series will  determine  the market value of
individual  securities  held by it,  by  using  prices  provided  by one or more
professional  pricing  services  which may provide market prices to other funds,
or, as needed, by obtaining market  quotations from independent  broker-dealers.
Short-term  securities  maturing within 60 days are valued on the amortized cost
basis.  Securities  for which  quotations are not readily  available,  and other
assets,  are valued at fair values  determined  in good faith  under  procedures
established by and under the supervision of the Trustees.

     Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities  exchanges and
over-the-counter markets is normally completed well before the close of business
on each Business Day. In addition,  European and Far Eastern  securities trading
generally  or in a  particular  country or  countries  may not take place on all
Business Days.  Furthermore,  trading takes place in Japanese markets on certain
Saturdays and in various foreign markets on days which are not Business Days and
on which a Series' net asset value is not  calculated.  A Series  calculates net
asset value per share, and therefore effects sales,  redemptions and repurchases
of its shares, as of the close of the NYSE once on each day on which the NYSE is
open.  Such  calculation  does  not  take  place   contemporaneously   with  the
determination of the prices of the majority of the foreign portfolio  securities
used in such calculation.

     For the PPM  America/JNL  Money  Market  Series,  securities  are valued at
amortized cost,  which  approximates  market value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The net income of the PPM
America/JNL  Money Market Series is determined  once each day, on which the NYSE
is open, at the close of the regular  trading session of the NYSE (normally 4:00
p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday). All the net income of the Series, so
determined,  is declared as a dividend to  shareholders of record at the time of
such determination. Shares purchased become entitled to dividends declared as of
the first day following the date of investment. Dividends are distributed in the
form of  additional  shares of the Series on the last business day of each month
at the rate of one share  (and  fraction  thereof)  of the  Series  for each one
dollar (and fraction thereof) of dividend income.

     For this purpose, the net income of the PPM America/JNL Money Market Series
(from the time of the immediately preceding determination thereof) shall consist
of: (a) all interest income accrued on the portfolio  assets of the Series,  (b)
less all actual and accrued  expenses,  and (c) plus or minus net realized gains
and losses on the assets of the Series  determined in accordance  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  Interest income shall include discount earned
(including  both original  issue and market  discount) on discount paper accrued
ratably to the date of maturity.  Securities  are valued at amortized cost which
approximates   market,   which  the  Trustees  have  determined  in  good  faith
constitutes fair value for the purposes of complying with the Investment Company
Act of 1940.

     Because  the net  income  of the PPM  America/JNL  Money  Market  Series is
declared  as a dividend  each time the net income is  determined,  the net asset
value per share (i.e.,  the value of the net assets of the Series divided by the
number of shares outstanding)  remains at one dollar per share immediately after
each such determination and dividend declaration. Any increase in the value of a
shareholder's  investment  in  the  Series,  representing  the  reinvestment  of
dividend  income,  is  reflected  by an  increase in the number of shares of the
Series in its  account.  Pursuant to its  objective of  maintaining  a fixed one
dollar share price,  the Series will not  purchase  securities  with a remaining
maturity  of more  than 397 days and will  maintain  a dollar  weighted  average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

     The Trust may suspend the right of redemption for any Series only under the
following unusual circumstances:  (a) when the New York Stock Exchange is closed
(other  than  weekends  and  holidays)  or  trading is  restricted;  (b) when an
emergency  exists,  making disposal of portfolio  securities or the valuation of
net  assets not  reasonably  practicable;  or (c)  during  any  period  when the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  has by order  permitted a  suspension  of
redemption for the protection of shareholders.

                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Description of Shares. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an
unlimited  number of full and fractional  shares of beneficial  interest of each
Series and to divide or combine  such shares into a greater or lesser  number of
shares without thereby changing the  proportionate  beneficial  interests in the
Trust. Each share of a Series represents an equal proportionate interest in that
Series with each other share. The Trust reserves the right to create and issue a
number of Series of  shares.  In that  case,  the  shares of each  Series  would
participate  equally in the earnings,  dividends,  and assets of the  particular
Series.  Upon  liquidation of a Series,  shareholders  are entitled to share pro
rata  in  the  net  assets  of  such  Series   available  for   distribution  to
shareholders.

Voting  Rights.  Shareholders  are  entitled  to one vote for each  share  held.
Shareholders may vote in the election of Trustees and on other matters submitted
to meetings of  shareholders.  No amendment  may be made to the  Declaration  of
Trust without the affirmative  vote of a majority of the  outstanding  shares of
the Trust. The Trustees may, however, amend the Declaration of Trust without the
vote or consent of shareholders to:

o    designate Series of the Trust; or

o    change the name of the Trust; or

o    supply any omission, cure, correct, or supplement any ambiguous, defective,
     or  inconsistent  provision  to  conform  the  Declaration  of Trust to the
     requirements  of applicable  federal or state  regulations  if they deem it
     necessary.

     Shares have no pre-emptive or conversion rights.  Shares are fully paid and
non-assessable, except as set forth in the prospectus. In regard to termination,
sale of  assets,  or change  of  investment  restrictions,  the right to vote is
limited  to the  holders  of shares of the  particular  Series  affected  by the
proposal. When a majority is required, it means the lesser of 67% or more of the
shares present at a meeting when the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
shares are present or represented by proxy,  or more than 50% of the outstanding
shares.

Shareholder  Inquiries.  All inquiries regarding the Trust should be directed to
the Trust at the  telephone  number or  address  shown on the cover  page of the
Prospectus.

                                   TAX STATUS

     The  Trust's  policy is to meet the  requirements  of  Subchapter  M of the
Internal Revenue Code. Each Series intends to distribute  taxable net investment
income and capital  gains to  shareholders  in amounts  that will avoid  federal
income or excise  tax.  In  addition,  each  Series  intends to comply  with the
diversification  requirements of Code Section 817(h) related to the tax-deferred
status of annuity  and life  insurance  contracts  issued by  insurance  company
separate accounts.

     All income,  dividends, and capital gains distributions,  if any, on Series
shares are reinvested  automatically  in additional  shares of the Series at the
NAV  determined  on the first  Business Day  following  the record date,  unless
otherwise requested by a shareholder.

     Each Series of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for purpose of the
regulated  investment  company  provisions  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code and,
therefore,  the assets,  income, and distributions of each Series are considered
separately for purposes of determining  whether or not the Series qualifies as a
regulated investment company.

     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. 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.  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 (UNAUDITED) (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 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  -- 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
(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.  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 June 30, 1998.

     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.

            NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (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  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.  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.

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.

                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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.

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.  Effective May 1, 1997,  the  JNL/Phoenix  Investment  Counsel  Balanced
Series became the PPM America/JNL Balanced Series and is managed by PPM America,
Inc.,  the  JNL/Phoenix  Investment  Counsel Growth Series became the JNL/Putnam

Adviser.  Shares are presently offered only to Jackson National and its separate
accounts.


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.

Item 27. Indemnification.

                  Article VIII of the Registrant's  Agreement and Declaration of
                  Trust   provides  that  each  of  its  Trustees  and  Officers
                  (including  persons who serve at the  Registrant's  request as
                  directors,  officers or trustees  of another  organization  in
                  which  the  Registrant  has  any  interest  as a  shareholder,
                  creditor or otherwise)  (each,  a "Covered  Person")  shall be
                  indemnified  by the  Registrant  against all  liabilities  and
                  expenses  that may be  incurred  by  reason of being or having
                  been such a Covered  Person,  except  that no  Covered  Person
                  shall be  indemnified  against any liability to the Registrant
                  or  its  shareholders  to  which  such  Covered  Person  would
                  otherwise  be subject by reason of  willful  misfeasance,  bad
                  faith,  gross  negligence or reckless  disregard of the duties
                  involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office.

                  The foregoing indemnification  arrangements are subject to the
                  provisions of Section 17(h) of the  Investment  Company Act of
                  1940.

                  Insofar as  indemnification  by the Registrant for liabilities
                  arising under the  Securities  Act of 1933 may be permitted to
                  directors,  officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
                  pursuant  to  the  foregoing  provisions,  or  otherwise,  the
                  Registrant  has  been  advised  that  in  the  opinion  of the
                  Securities and Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is
                  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the  Act  and  is,
                  therefore,  unenforceable.  In  the  event  that a  claim  for
                  indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the
                  payment by the  Registrant  of expenses  incurred or paid by a
                  director,  officer or controlling  person of the Registrant in
                  the successful  defense of any action,  suit or proceeding) is
                  asserted  against the Registrant by such director,  officer or
                  controlling  person in connection  with the  securities  being
                  registered,  the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
                  counsel the matter has been settled by controlling  precedent,
                  submit to a court of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question
                  whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
                  expressed  in the  Act  and  will  be  governed  by the  final
                  adjudication of such issue.

                  In addition  to the above  indemnification,  Jackson  National
                  Life Insurance Company extends its  indemnification of its own
                  officers,  directors  and  employees  to cover  such  persons'
                  activities   as   officers,   trustees  or  employees  of  the
                  Registrant,  and by separate  agreement  Jackson National Life
                  Insurance  Company  has agreed to  indemnify  trustees  of the
                  Registrant who are not interested persons of the Registrant or
                  its investment adviser.

         Re: Opinion of Counsel - JNL Series Trust

Gentlemen:

     You have  requested  our Opinion of Counsel in  connection  with the filing
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission of Post-Effective  Amendment No. 15
to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A with respect to the JNL Series Trust.

     We have made such examination of the law and have examined such records and
documents as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render
the opinions expressed below.

         We are of the following opinions:

     1.   JNL Series  Trust  ("Trust")  is a valid and  existing  unincorporated
          voluntary association, commonly known as a business trust.

     2.   The Trust is a business Trust created and validly existing pursuant to
          the Massachusetts Laws.

     3.   All of the prescribed  Trust procedures for the issuance of the shares
          have been  followed,  and,  when such shares are issued in  accordance
          with the Prospectus  contained in the Registration  Statement for such
          shares, all state requirements relating to such Trust shares will have
          been complied with.

          accordance with the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement
          and upon compliance with applicable law, such  shareholders  will have
          legally-issued, fully paid, non-assessable shares of the Trust.

     You may use this opinion  letter,  or a copy thereof,  as an exhibit to the
Registration.

     We consent to the reference to our Firm contained in the  Prospectus  which
forms a part of the Registration Statement.
