/s/ Robert W. Stallings Robert W. Stallings Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Pilgrim Group, Inc. February 8, 2000 |
(1) The Semi-Annual Report for other Pilgrim Fund classes has been issued separately.
Portfolio Management Team: Howard N. Kornblue, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager; G. David Underwood, CFA, Vice President and Director of Research; Robert M. Kloss, Equity Analyst.
Goal: The MagnaCap Fund seeks growth of capital, with dividend income as a secondary consideration. As a disciplined investment philosophy fund, MagnaCap invests in a very select group of companies that have been able to sustain growth over a 10-year period. In selecting portfolio securities, companies are generally assessed with reference to the following criteria as ideal:
* A company must pay or had the financial capability from its operations to pay a dividend in 8 out of the last 10 years.
* A company must have increased its dividend or had the financial capability from its operations to have increased its dividend at least 100% over the past 10 years.
* Dividend payout must be less than 65% of current earnings.
* Long-term debt should be no more than 25% of the company's total capitalization, or a company's bonds must be rated at least A- or A-3.
* The current price should be in the lower half of the stock's price/earnings ratio range for the past ten years, or the ratio of the price of the company's stock at the time of purchase to its anticipated future earnings must be an attractive value in relation to the average for its industry peer group or that of the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index.
Market Overview: For the past half decade, the U.S. stock market has been going higher helped by low inflation, healthy economic growth, increasing corporate profits, and falling interest rates. This past year was no exception, although one of the prime contributors to the extended market rise -- falling interest rates -- was not a factor in 1999. Interest rates increased during 1999, as economic growth exceeded expectations, bringing up fears of inflation down the road. The Federal Reserve increased interest rates three times between June and November. There was a decoupling of the equity and bond markets, with the major stock averages rising while bonds, which move in the opposite direction from interest rates, retreated. Bonds experienced their worst year since 1994. Robust consumer spending has put the U.S. economy on a pace to grow by more than 4% for the third straight year, continuing its decade long expansion. After a brief stock market decline in the summer, major stock market averages achieved double-digit yearly gains and closed the year at record highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average went above 10,000 for the first time. The S&P 500 Index gained over 20% for the fifth straight year. Technology stocks led the market as investors embraced the potential of e-commerce and the Internet. But 1999 was not a year in which a rising tide lifted all boats. Many more issues on the New York Stock Exchange fell in price during the year than rose in price in spite of the favorable market environment. Many investors were limiting their purchases to a select group of stocks (most often in technology) and were then bidding up these stocks to extreme levels that challenged all measures of historical valuation.
Performance: For the period November 22, 1999 (the class inception date), through December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 0.81%, compared to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which gained 8.08% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: We believe that the Fund's past success can be attributed to the very explicit investment criteria which normally determine the kinds of companies that qualify for inclusion in the portfolio. Out of a universe of approximately 4,000 publicly traded companies, and based upon both in-house and external research, we aim to select the 60 to 80 equities which we believe will be most likely to exhibit a high degree of performance. Among the top performing holdings were Cisco (computers), Tellabs (telecommunication equipment), Sun Microsystems (computers), Wal-Mart (retail), and Hewlett Packard (computers). At the end of December 1999, the top industry groups were oil, pharmaceuticals, computers, communications, and building products. The top stock holdings were AFLAC, Automatic Data Processing, Home Depot, McDonalds, and Avery-Dennison.
Market Outlook: Going forward, we will continue to employ a "bottom-up" approach to stock selection, drawing from the pool of companies that come closest to meeting the Fund's strict investment criteria given market conditions, the circumstances of the company and the sector within which it falls. The bull
market in U.S. stocks is in its ninth year. It has been firmly based on extraordinary changes in the economy that have given us one of the longest economic expansions in U.S. history. This bull market has been one of the best in U.S. history and we believe it is likely to continue for several reasons. First, the economic expansion that has propelled stock prices higher has been one of the most durable. It has been accompanied by mild inflation, job creation and high-quality profit growth. Second, the current economic and market cycles have benefited from several long-term structural changes. This includes a notable reduction in the government's budget deficit. There has also been a shift to a more sophisticated, technology driven private sector that has spurred widespread productivity gains, which offers new opportunities for growth and jobs. Most bull markets end when stocks are overpriced. However, it has traditionally been extremely difficult to identify the degree of overpricing at which any particular bull market will end. We believe stock prices can continue to rise selectively in 2000 in concert with improvements in corporate earnings and cash flows. Accordingly, we intend to remain almost fully invested, selecting stocks on the basis described at the beginning of this paragraph.

The table above illustrates the total return of Pilgrim MagnaCap Fund against the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index. The Index has an inherent performance advantage over the Fund since it has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund's performance is shown both with and without the imposition of the sales charges.
Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Sullivan, Portfolio Manager.
Goal: The Large Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in stocks from a universe of U.S. companies with market capitalizations corresponding to the upper 90% of the Russell 1000 Growth Index.
Market Overview: During the six-month period ending December 31, 1999, the U.S. market was characterized by:
* a strong U.S. economy with subdued inflation
* outperformance of growth stocks versus value stocks
* investor preference for technology stocks
Sizzling returns among technology stocks lifted the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite to record highs during the period. Large caps, as measured by the S&P 500, delivered their record fifth consecutive year of double-digit percentage gains. The S&P 500 rose 7.7% in the six-month period while the Nasdaq Composite gained 51.5%.
Amid continued strength in the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point three times since June, reversing 1998's loose monetary policy. The interest-rate increases were aimed at combating inflationary pressures.
Throughout 1999, stock selection remained critical as a narrow advance masked broader market weakness. For example, 58% of NYSE, AMEX and Nasdaq common stocks underperformed the S&P 500 by 15% or more over the past 12 months, ending December 1999. Disparate returns created an environment conducive to active managers. In 1999, the average diversified US stock fund gained 27.5% versus 21.0% for the S&P 500 Index, the first time the average manager outpaced the Index since 1993.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 96.93% compared to 33.16% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection within the technology and health technology sectors was the primary contributor to the fund's outperformance against the Russell 1000 Growth Index in the period. Our investment in select issues within the telecommunications, drugs/pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries had a significant contribution to returns. Among the fund's best-performing holdings during the period were telecommunications equipment providers Qualcomm and Nokia; computer hardware manufacturers Cisco Systems and Sun Microsystems; and biotechnology firms Genentech and Amgen.
Market Outlook: The outlook for large-cap growth stocks remains encouraging given low inflation and steady economic growth. We continue to find attractive stocks meeting our strict criteria and remain confident that application of our philosophy will continue to reward investors with long-term capital appreciation.

Based on a $10,000 initial investment, the table above illustrates the total return of Pilgrim LargeCap Growth Fund against the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Goal: The Mid Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through investments in U.S. securities corresponding to the middle 90% of the Russell Midcap Growth Index at the time of purchase.
Market Overview: During the six-month period ending December 31, 1999, the U.S. stock market was characterized by:
* a strong U.S. economy with subdued inflation
* outperformance of growth stocks versus value stocks
* investor preference for technology stocks
Following the downturn in large- and smaller-cap stocks in the third quarter, U.S. equity indexes from all market-capitalization segments posted impressive gains in the fourth quarter. Escalating investor interest in mid cap growth stocks -- especially technology-related issues -- lifted them to double-digit gains that outdistanced large-cap stocks. The Russell Midcap Growth Index gained 39.5% in the fourth quarter and 51.3% in 1999 versus 14.9% and 21.0% for the larger-cap S&P 500 over the same periods. Investors showed greater recognition for mid caps' strong earnings growth rates and attractive relative valuations.
Amid continued strength in the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point three times since June, reversing 1998's loose monetary policy. The interest-rate increases were aimed at combating inflationary pressures.
Throughout 1999, stock selection remained critical as a narrow advance masked broader market weakness. For example, 58% of NYSE, AMEX and Nasdaq common stocks underperformed the S&P 500 by 15% or more over the 12 months ended December 1999.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 98.50% versus 51.29% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: During the period, stock selection in the technology and commercial/industrial sectors was the primary contributor to the fund's outperformance versus the benchmark. Within the technology sector, our investment in select issues within the software, telecommunications and semiconductor industries had a significant contribution to returns. The fund's top-performing holdings in the period included Veritas Software and Verisign, a provider of digital IDs designed to protect access to data and transactions sent over the Internet, intranets, and extranets.
Market Outlook: The outlook for growth stocks remains encouraging given low inflation and steady economic growth. We continue to find attractive stocks meeting our strict criteria and remain confident that application of our philosophy will continue to reward investors with long-term capital appreciation.

Goal: The Small Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in U.S. companies with market capitalizations corresponding to the middle 90% of the Russell 2000 Growth Index at time of purchase.
Market Overview: During the six-month period ending December 31, 1999, the U.S. stock market was characterized by:
* a strong U.S. economy with subdued inflation
* outperformance of growth stocks versus value stocks
* investor preference for technology stocks
Following the downturn in large- and smaller-cap stocks in the third quarter, U.S. equity indexes from all market-capitalization segments posted impressive gains in the fourth quarter. Increased investor recognition of smaller-cap growth stocks - especially technology-related issues -- lifted them to double-digit gains that outdistanced large-cap stocks. For example, the Russell 2000 Growth Index rose 33.4% and 43.1% in the fourth quarter and in 1999, respectively. Those returns outpaced the S&P 500 Index's gain of 14.9% and 21.0% for the same time periods. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite advanced 85.6% for the year.
Despite the gains among technology stocks, relative PEs for smaller-cap stocks versus larger caps reached record lows in 1999. While the discount eroded during the later part of the year, smaller caps' relative PEs remain attractive.
Amid continued strength in the U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point three times since June, reversing 1998's loose monetary policy. The interest-rate increases were aimed at combating inflationary pressures.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999 the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 90.58% compared to the Russell 2000 Growth Index which returned 43.09% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection in the technology sector was the primary contributor to the fund's outperformance versus the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Holdings in the commercial/industrial sector also had a positive impact on returns. Within the technology sector, stock selection in the software, telecommunications and semiconductor industries boosted performance in the period. Among the fund's top-performing holdings included Mercury Interactive, a manufacturer of computer network and web-based software. Legato Systems, a software manufacturer and Infospace.com, an Internet and online content provider, were also significant contributors to the fund's performance during the period.
Market Outlook: The outlook for small-cap growth stocks remains encouraging given low inflation and steady economic growth in the United States. We continue to find attractive stocks meeting our strict investment criteria and remain confident that the consistent application of our philosophy will continue to reward investors with long-term capital appreciation. We are encouraged by robust corporate earnings growth in 1999 and expectations for solid results in 2000.

Goal: The Worldwide Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through investments in growth-oriented companies around the world, regardless of geographic location.
Market Overview: A favorable mix of themes propelled equity markets worldwide in the six-month period ending December 31, 1999: a strong U.S. economy with subdued inflation; global economic recoveries; robust growth in technology and telecommunications; brisk pace of mergers and acquisitions in Europe; corporate restructuring and the resurgence of economic growth in Japan; and continued implementation of structural reforms in non-Japan Asia.
Amid the pick-up in economic growth in many countries, central banks in the United States and Europe moved to increase interest rates to combat potential inflationary pressures during the fourth quarter, reversing 1998's loose monetary policy. In November, the European Central Bank raised interest rates by 50 basis points for the 11-member Economic Monetary Union. Policymakers in the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Sweden and the United States also hiked rates in the period. In the United States, strong returns among technology stocks drove equity prices higher for most of the six-month period ending December 31. The S&P 500 Index rose 7.7% while the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 51.5%.
Developed non-U.S. markets also posted gains, with the MSCI EAFE Index rising 22.1% in the period. For the first time since 1994, the EAFE Index outperformed the S&P 500 Index in 1999, rising 27.0% versus 21.0% for the S&P 500. Returns among emerging markets were even better, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index rising 66.2% for the year.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 83.79% compared to 23.56% for the MSCI World Index for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection in the United States and Japan was the primary driver of the fund's outperformance in the period. Significant gains among holdings in the technology, commercial/industrial and health technology sectors also contributed to the fund's returns. At year end, our weighting in the United States was approximately 45.3%, 30.2% in Europe and 17.3% in Japan. We continued to uncover promising opportunities on a company-by-company basis in these areas.
Market Outlook: The long-term outlook for worldwide investing remains promising. In the United States, the potent combination of robust economic growth and tame inflation creates an ideal investment environment. In Japan and the rest of Asia, as well as in Europe, significant changes in the areas of structural reform, corporate restructuring and consolidation are helping companies with a competitive advantage thrive. Increased distribution capabilities brought on by the technology revolution, especially with the growth of the Internet, also contribute to brighter prospects for companies worldwide. These themes present exciting opportunities for diligent stock pickers.

Goal: The International Core Growth Fund seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in companies located outside of the United States and whose capitalizations are in the top 75% of publicly-traded companies in their countries.
Market Overview: A mixture of themes propelled international equity markets in the fourth quarter: a strong U.S. economy with subdued inflation; global economic recoveries; robust growth in technology and telecommunications; brisk pace of mergers and acquisitions in Europe; corporate restructuring and the resurgence of economic growth in Japan; and continued implementation of structural reforms in non-Japan Asia.
Amid the pick-up in economic growth in many countries, central banks in the United States and Europe moved to increase interest rates to combat potential inflationary pressures during the fourth quarter, reversing 1998's loose monetary policy. In November, the European Central Bank raised interest rates by 50 basis points for the 11-member Economic Monetary Union. Policymakers in the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Sweden and the United States also hiked rates in November.
Developed non-U.S. markets posted gains, with the MSCI EAFE Index rising 22.1%. For the first time since 1994, the EAFE Index outperformed the S&P 500 Index in 1999, rising 25.0% versus 21.0% for the S&P 500. Returns among emerging markets were even better, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index rising 66.2% for the year.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 66.97% compared to the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 25.27% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection in Japan was the primary contributor to the fund's outperformance versus the Index in the period. Stock selection in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Italy and South Korea also boosted returns. Holdings in technology were the top contributors to performance. Holdings in the commercial/industrial, retail trade and consumer services sectors also contributed to returns. At year end, we had an approximate 56.0% weighting in Europe from 54.7% at the end of June, as we continued to uncover attractive investment opportunities on a company-by-company basis in the region. We reduced our weighting in Japan in the period but maintained a slight overweight position of 28.8% versus 27.4% for the Index.
Market Outlook: The long-term outlook for international investing remains promising. In Japan and the rest of Asia, as well as in Europe, significant changes in the areas of structural reform, corporate restructuring and consolidation are helping companies with a competitive advantage thrive. Increased distribution capabilities brought on by the technology revolution, especially with the growth of the Internet, should also contribute to brighter prospects for companies worldwide.

The table above illustrates the total return of Pilgrim International Core Growth Fund against the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, Far East Index. The Index has an inherent performance advantage over the Fund since it has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund's performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.
Total returns reflect the fact that the Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or defer its management fee and to pay other operating expenses otherwise payable by the Fund, subject to possible later reimbursement during a three-year period. Total returns would have been lower had there been no deferral to the Fund.
Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Goal: The International Small Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation through investing primarily in companies located outside the United States corresponding to the lower 25% market capitalization within each country with a maximum market cap of $5 billion.
Market Overview: A mixture of themes propelled non-U.S. equity markets in the fourth quarter: a strong U.S. economy with subdued inflation; global economic recoveries; robust growth in technology and telecommunications; brisk pace of mergers and acquisitions in Europe; corporate restructuring and the resurgence of economic growth in Japan; and continued implementation of structural reforms in non-Japan Asia.
Amid the pick-up in economic growth in many countries, central banks in the United States, Europe and Australia moved to increase interest rates to combat potential inflationary pressures in the fourth quarter, reversing 1998's loose monetary policy.
International small caps benefited from the favorable investment environment around the world, presenting exciting opportunities for diligent stock pickers. For example, small caps within the Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) region advanced 17.6% year to date through December 31, 1999, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE Index. Among the biggest gainers for the year was Singapore, with the MSCI Singapore Small Cap Index rising 68.4% in 1999.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 121.97% compared to the Salomon EPAC/EMI (Europe Pacific Australasia Composite Extended Market Index), which returned 23.19% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection and overweighting in Japan were major drivers of the fund's outperformance. Stock selection in the United Kingdom and France also boosted returns. Our holdings in technology were the most significant contributors to performance during the period as we continued to find stocks with strong fundamentals in the sector. Holdings in the commercial/industrial, utilities and financial services sectors also bolstered performance.
At year end, we significantly increased our weighting in Europe, from 47.0% at the end of June to 57.3% at year end. We continued to identify strong investment candidates in the region based on our bottom-up stock selection approach. We trimmed our exposure in Japan as we uncovered better opportunities in Europe during the period. However, we maintained an overweight position in Japan versus the Salomon EPAC/EMI Index.
Market Outlook: A variety of factors contribute to our optimism regarding the outlook for international small-cap investing: expectations for a continued pick-up in economic growth in many countries; corporate restructuring; privatization and deregulation; and the continued brisk pace of mergers and acquisitions. In this environment, our bottom-up search for stocks successfully adapting to change continues to uncover promising investment opportunities

In exchange for higher growth potential, stocks of smaller companies may entail greater price variability than those of larger companies. The Fund may invest in companies located in countries with emerging securities markets when the subadviser believes they present attractive investment opportunities. Risks of foreign investing are generally intensified for investments in emerging markets.

Goal: The Emerging Countries Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation through investing in companies of developing countries around the world.
Market Overview: Devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Taiwan, as well as fears of higher interest rates in the United States sent equity markets in many emerging countries lower in the third quarter. However, investor interest in the asset class returned in the fourth quarter amid attractive fundamentals.
Evidence of stronger consumer demand, rising exports and continued economic improvement among the world's emerging countries contributed to strong returns during the six-month period ending December 31, 1999. Gains among technology stocks, especially within the telecommunications industry, also bolstered stock market performance in a number of the world's emerging markets. Stock Exchanges in Asia, Latin America and the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region delivered spectacular gains in 1999, as measured in U.S. dollars. Improving economic growth in Japan and Europe and the U.S. economy's continued robust growth contributed to strong performance among emerging markets.
In Latin America, improving economic fundamentals and increasing earnings growth in 1999 were somewhat overshadowed by the negative effects of rising U.S. interest rates on the region and concerns regarding the political environment. Markets in Emerging European countries benefited from the acceleration in economic growth in many developed European economies.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 76.30% compared to 63.70% for the MSCI EMF Index for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Stock selection in India, South Korea and Mexico significantly bolstered performance in the period. Holdings in the technology, commercial/industrial and consumer services sectors were the top contributors to returns. At year end, we had an approximate 39.3% weighting in Asia, 24.0% in Latin America and 26.8% in Emerging Europe. We slightly trimmed our weighting in Asia and increased our positions in Emerging Europe and Latin America. Among the fund's best-performing holdings were Infosys Technologies and Samsung Electronics. India-based Infosys is a contract software programmer whose client list includes blue-chip companies in the United States. Samsung, based in S. Korea, is the world's largest maker of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips. Both companies are expected to benefit from the robust growth in technology worldwide.
Market Outlook: The dynamic nature of emerging countries underscores the importance of individual security selection. With an investment philosophy focused on identifying individual companies successfully adapting to change, we believe we are well positioned to distinguish the winners from the laggards and extend our long-term performance excellence in the world's emerging markets.

Portfolio Management Team: Robert K. Kinsey, Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager; Kevin Mathews, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager.
Goals: Pilgrim Strategic Income Fund seeks maximum total return by investing primarily in debt securities issued by U.S. and foreign entities, as well as U.S. and foreign governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, that are rated investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating agency, or of comparable quality if unrated. Up to 40% of the fund's assets may be invested in high yield securities rated below investment grade.
Bond Market Overview: 1999 was a tough year for bonds by any measure: The summer months witnessed a spread rout nearly as bad as 1998's debacle. Liquidity returned to the investment grade arena with a vengeance during the 4th Quarter. Spreads tightened across the board as managers re-discovered an appetite for risk, and mortgages posted healthy relative returns. However, a very robust domestic economy and Fed tightenings pushed rates higher. By mid December Y2K concern drained liquidity from the bond market as both the buy-side and the sell-side shifted into hibernation.
At the end of 1999, fixed income managers stepped back to assess the damage. The thirty year Treasury posted its worst return since 1974 while the Lehman Aggregate Index experienced returns nearly as bad as 1994. The high yield market, in contrast, escaped the year in better shape. High yield spreads in the second half of the year remained relatively unchanged but the higher coupon helped to offset the decline in prices.
High yield managers were rewarded for being risk adverse in the second half of 1999 as high yield defaults increased. Defaults were driven by company specific issues and did not reflect upon the overall health of the high yield market. The Merrill Lynch Triple-C/Double-C/Single-C index underperformed the Single-B index by 10.6% for the six months ending December 31, 1999.
A total of 119 new issues came to the market in the second half of 1999, representing $35 billion dollars. Outflows from mutual funds caused high yield demand and issuance to be below last year's pace. New issuance was dominated by large deals in benchmark high yield names such as Allied Waste, Nextel, Nextlink, and Global Crossing to name a few.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, declined 0.97% compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index which was down 0.82%.
Portfolio Specifics: The duration of the Fund remained short of the Lehman Aggregate Index up until December at which time we adopted a neutral stance. As a rule the last few weeks of any given year are a perilous time to stray too far away from a benchmark's duration. We exploited the year-end drought in liquidity by adding Collateralized Mortgage-Backed Securities, some puttable paper, and other corporate paper at compelling levels.
In the high yield portion of the Fund we continue to look for smaller positions to eliminate and consolidate with existing holdings. The focus of the high yield portfolio has been on the Communications sector, and secondarily on Media and Cable credits. The average credit rating of the high yield portion is Single-B which we are comfortable with given our belief that the economy will continue to grow without overheating, and that inflation will remain subdued. Our efforts in the coming months will be focused on those issuers that will benefit from the continuing demand for increased bandwidth in Communications by both consumers and business. The high yield portion of the Fund will continue to be fully invested as the market looks attractively priced.
Market Outlook: We are poised to shorten our duration with the onset of the new year as we anticipate further central bank tightening here and abroad in 2000. The high grade portion of the Fund is heavily overweighted in spread product and we have added less-liquid, lower quality names in anticipation of their outperformance in the first quarter of 2000. Mortgage-Backed Securities appear to only offer fair value at this juncture, and we are close to neutral to the Lehman Aggregate Index vis a vis this sector.
The FOMC has worked diligently to maintain steady, non-inflationary growth. In another month, the U.S. economy will surpass the 106 month record for the longest economic expansion ever. There is a high probability that the FOMC will
raise the Federal Funds rate further in the first half of 2000. The purpose of the increase(s) will be to moderate economic growth and to prevent any rise in inflation. If the FOMC has continued success in maintaining non-inflationary growth, interest rates should stabilize. An environment of stable interest rates and moderate inflation should prove positive for high yield bonds.

Goals: The High Yield Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective, by investing in high yield debt securities.
Market Overview: The second half of 1999 was a continuation of the trends experienced in the first half of the year. The economy continued to show strong growth, inflation remained subdued and interest rates continued their upward trend. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) stepped in during the second half of the year by raising the Federal Funds Rate from 4.75 to 5.50%. The FOMC acted on the perception that economic growth was too strong and that if left unchecked, it would ultimately result in rising inflation.
At the end of 1999, fixed income managers stepped back to assess the damage. The thirty year Treasury posted its worst return since 1974 while the Lehman Aggregate Index experienced returns nearly as bad as 1994. The high yield market, in contrast, escaped the year in better shape. High yield spreads in the second half of the year remained relatively unchanged but the higher coupon helped to offset the decline in prices. High yield managers were rewarded for being risk adverse in the second half of 1999 as high yield defaults increased. Defaults were driven by company specific issues and did not reflect upon the overall health of the high yield market. The Merrill Lynch Triple-C/Double-C/Single-C index underperformed the Single-B index by 10.6% for the six months ending December 31, 1999.
A total of 119 new issues came to the market in the second half of 1999, representing $35 billion dollars. Outflows from mutual funds caused high yield demand and issuance to be below last year's pace. New issuance was dominated by large deals in benchmark high yield names such as Allied Waste, Nextel, Nextlink, and Global Crossing to name a few.
Performance: For the period June 17, 1999 to December 31, 1999, the Fund Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, declined 0.73% compared to the Lehman Brothers High Yield Index, an unmanaged index of high yield bonds, which returned 0.19%, and the First Boston High Yield Index, an unmanaged index of high yield bonds, which returned 0.45% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund held overweighted positions in the Communications sector, including the wireless, wireline, and internet subsectors, which helped performance for the six months. Underperforming issues in the Manufacturing & Electronics sectors adversely impacted returns for the period. Overall, the Fund's management feels the credit quality of the portfolio is good and positioned for outperformance in 2000.
Portfolio cash levels have been held down as we expect the market to perform well. Consistent with our goal of managing a stable dividend fund with an emphasis on domestic cash pay issues, the Fund's management has been taking the opportunity to consolidate positions. Our avoidance of emerging market and foreign issues, while helping performance in past periods, hurt performance in the last six months as these markets rebounded significantly. Average credit quality was held at Single-B as our expectation of continued economic growth with low inflation in the domestic economy was proven correct.
Market Outlook: The FOMC has worked diligently to maintain steady, non-inflationary growth. In another month, the U.S. economy will surpass the 106 month record for the longest economic expansion ever. There is a high probability that the FOMC will raise the Federal Funds rate further in the first half of 2000. The purpose of the increase(s) will be to moderate economic growth and to prevent any rise in inflation. If the FOMC has continued success in maintaining non-inflationary growth, interest rates should stabilize.

Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 6.03% compared to the Lehman Brothers High Yield Index which returned 2.39%.
Portfolio Specifics: The Fund outperformed due to a large concentration in the Communications sector. The best performing credits were those on the leading edge of telecommunication technology. These include issuers that provide digital subscriber lines, or DSL, (high bandwidth internet access) to offices and homes throughout the country. Investments have also been made in providers of wireless voice and internet/data connectivity to office buildings and companies that provide computer servers and the access technology for internet data sites. All the aforementioned companies have received strong support from the capital markets in the last quarter.
The portfolio's cash position increased as the quarter progressed. The fund received inflows during a time when investment opportunities were low. Management is looking to deploy this cash into sectors outside of telecommunications in the first quarter of 2000. Average credit quality was held at Single-B as our expectation of continued economic growth with low inflation in the domestic economy was proven correct. Overall, the Fund's management feels the credit quality of the portfolio is good and positioned for outperformance in 2000.
Market Outlook: The FOMC has work diligently to maintain steady, non-inflationary growth. In another month, the U.S. economy will surpass the 106 month record for the longest economic expansion ever.

Goals: The Balanced Fund seeks a balance of capital appreciation and current income by investing in a blended portfolio of equity and debt securities with an emphasis on overall total return.
Equity Market Overview: For the six months ending December 31, 1999, the U.S. equity market was characterized by:
A narrow advance of primarily large-capitalization technology and telecommunications stocks
Continued outperformance of growth stocks versus value stocks
Outperformance of large-capitalization stocks versus mid-cap and most small-capitalization stocks
Market returns at the end of the period suggest that the market moved sideways since mid year. This masks a market buffeted by concerns about rising inflation and higher interest rates, yet supported by accelerating earnings growth.
Entering the second half of 1999, investor sentiment was still buoyed by the fact that a global recession did not develop out of the prior year's financial crisis in Asia, Latin America and Europe. U.S. economic growth remained strong and evidence continued to emerge that the overseas economies were on the mend. The broad market S&P 500 Index set a then new peak in July before surrendering half of its gains over the balance of the third quarter. Interest rates began to rise due to inflation worries brought on by the surprisingly strong U.S. economy and the resuscitating global economies, dampening some of the equity market optimism. The S&P 500 recovered to new highs in the fourth quarter, with the Index led by a select group of technology and telecommunications stocks, registering particularly strong gains in October and December.
As inflation worries prompted the Federal Reserve to notch interest rates upward, investors sought the perceived safety of a small group of mostly technology/growth stocks. Only five of the twelve market sectors had positive returns in the last six months: Technology, Conglomerates, Communication Services, Consumer Cyclicals and Basic Industries; only Technology, Conglomerates and Communication Services outperformed the Index. For the year, 25 stocks accounted for the entire gain of the S&P 500.
Bond Market Overview: 1999 was a tough year for bonds by any measure: The summer months witnessed a credit spread rout nearly as bad as 1998's debacle.
However, liquidity returned to the investment grade fixed income arena with a vengeance during the fourth quarter. Spreads tightened across the board as managers re-discovered an appetite for risk. Yet, a very robust domestic economy and Fed tightenings pushed rates higher. By mid December Y2K concern drained liquidity from the bond market as both the buy-side and the sell-side shifted into hibernation.
At the end of 1999, fixed income managers stepped back to assess the damage. The thirty year Treasury posted its worst return since 1974 while the Lehman Aggregate Index experienced returns nearly as bad as 1994. The high yield market, in contrast, escaped the year in better shape. High yield spreads in the second half of the year remained relatively unchanged but the higher coupon helped to offset the decline in prices.
High yield managers were rewarded for being risk adverse in the second half of 1999 as high yield defaults increased. Defaults were driven by company specific issues and did not reflect upon the overall health of the high yield market. The Merrill Lynch Triple-C/Double-C/Single-C index underperformed the Single-B index by 10.6% for the six months ending December 31, 1999.
A total of 119 new issues came to the market in the second half of 1999, representing $35 billion dollars. Outflows from mutual funds caused high yield demand and issuance to be below last year's pace. New issuance was dominated by large deals in benchmark high yield names such as Allied Waste, Nextel, Nextlink, and Global Crossing to name a few.
Portfolio Specifics: Timely sector allocation and good stock selection, combined with a disciplined portfolio management approach, produced the Fund's strong investment performance. The Consumer Cyclical, Technology, Basic Industries, and Retailing sectors contributed most. Holdings in Sun Microsystems, Texas Instruments, Hewlett Packard, Sony, America Online and Nokia gave handsome returns. The Fund's holdings in Alcoa, and Time Warner were equally strong.
The duration of the fixed income component of the Fund remained short of the Lehman Aggregate Index up until December at which time we adopted a neutral stance. As a rule the last few weeks of any given year are a perilous time to stray too far away from a benchmark's duration.
We exploited the year-end drought in investment grade liquidity by adding Collateralized Mortgage-Backed Securities, some puttable paper, and other corporate paper at compelling levels.
In the high yield portion of the Fund we continue to look for smaller positions to eliminate and consolidate with existing holdings. The focus of the high yield portfolio has been on the Communications sector, and secondarily on Media, Cable, and Broadcasting credits. The average credit rating of the Fund is Single-B which we are comfortable with given our belief that the economy will continue to grow without overheating, and that inflation will remain subdued. In the growth sector of high yield we feel the Communications industry represents the best value. Our efforts in the coming months will be focused on those issuers that will benefit from the continuing demand for increased bandwidth. The high yield portion of the Fund will continue to be fully invested as we believe the market looks attractively priced.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 8.69%, compared to a composite index, consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index, which gained 11.77% for the same period.
Market Outlook: Though challenged more by interest rates the broadening market is conducive for equity investment. The global economies are rebounding with benign inflation, stimulating profitability and revenue growth for a wider assortment of companies. This should gather momentum now that concerns over the transition into the new Millennium are history.
With regards to the fixed income component, we are poised to shorten our duration with the onset of the new year as we anticipate further central bank tightening here and abroad in 2000. The high grade portion of the fund is heavily overweighted in spread product and we have added less-liquid, lower quality names in anticipation of their outperformance in the first quarter of 2000. Mortgage-Backed Securities appear to only offer fair value at this juncture, and we are close to neutral to the Lehman Aggregate Index vis a vis this sector.
The FOMC has work diligently to maintain steady, non-inflationary growth. In another month, the U.S. economy will surpass the 106 month record for the longest economic expansion ever. There is a high probability that the FOMC will raise the Federal Funds rate further in the first half of 2000. The purpose of the increase(s) will be to moderate economic growth and to prevent any rise in inflation. If the FOMC has continued success in maintaining non-inflationary growth, interest rates should stabilize. An environment of stable interest rates and moderate inflation should prove positive for high yield bonds.

The table above illustrates the total return of Pilgrim Balanced Fund against the 60% S&P 500, 40% Lehman Aggregate Index. The Index has an inherent performance advantage over the Fund since it has no cash in its portfolio, imposes no sales charges and incurs no operating expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund's performance is shown both with and without the imposition of sales charges.
Total returns reflect the fact that the Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or defer its management fee and to pay other operating expenses otherwise payable by the Fund, subject to possible later reimbursement during a three-year period. Total returns would have been lower had there been no deferral to the Fund.
Performance data represents past performance and is no assurance of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
This letter contains statements that may be "forward-looking" statements. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the "forward-looking" statements.
The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager, only through the end of the period as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

Principal Risk Factor(s): Price volatility and other risks that accompany an investment in equity securities. Credit, interest rate and other risks that accompany debt investments. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities. International investing does pose special risks, including currency fluctuation, and economic and political risks not found in investments that are solely domestic. Higher yields reflect higher credit risks associated with certain lower rated securities in the Fund's portfolio and in some cases, the lower market prices for those instruments.

Goal: The Convertible Fund seeks to maximize total return by investing primarily in convertible and equity securities of U.S. companies.
Market Overview: During the third quarter, concerns over rising inflation and interest rates and their impact on corporate earnings sent stock prices tumbling. Amid signs of continued strength in the U.S. economy, worries were rife that higher interest rates were needed to combat inflationary pressures. However, strong gains among technology stocks in the fourth quarter helped restore investor confidence. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 48.2% from October to December and climbed 85.6% overall in 1999. Improving returns for small- and mid-cap stocks also bolstered investor resolve.
Impressive gains among technology stocks throughout the fourth quarter propelled returns among convertible issues, helping offset the effects of a series of interest-rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board. In an effort to thwart potential inflationary pressures amid the U.S. economy's continued expansion, the Fed hiked short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point three times in June, August and November.
For much of the period, speculative-grade convertible issues tended to deliver better returns than high-grade issues. Qualcomm, the single largest holding in the CS First Boston Convertible Index, gained 94% in December and 2,619% for the year. The second-largest holding in the Index was EMC Corp., which gained 30% in December.
Performance: For the one year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund's Class Q shares, excluding sales charges, provided a total return of 50.44% compared to the First Boston Convertible Index which returned 42.28% for the same period.
Portfolio Specifics: Year to date through December 31, the Fund delivered equity-like returns, outperforming the Russell 2000, Russell Midcap, and S&P 500 Indexes. The Fund also registered greater returns compared to the CS First Boston Convertible Index year to date, rising 50.2% versus 42.3% for the Index.
A broad-based pullback among blue-chip issues in the third quarter negatively impacted the fund's performance in July. However, strong gains among telecommunications and technology holdings led to the fund's outperformance against the benchmark in the fourth quarter and in 1999.
The Fund's top-performing holdings included telecommunications service provider Qualcomm, Veritas Software and Exodus Communications.
Market Outlook: Looking ahead, we are encouraged by expectations for continued strength in corporate profits and global economic recovery. Applying our bottom-up approach, we continue to find convertible securities meeting our strict investment criteria.
Recent gains in the equity market have lifted U.S. indices close to or above record highs. In this environment, convertible issues may benefit from increased recognition among investors seeking equity market participation with limited downside exposure.

Principal Risk Factor(s): The credit standing of the issuer and other factors may affect the investment value of a convertible security. The market value of convertible debt securities tends to vary inversely with the level of interest rates. Lower rated securities may be less liquid than higher quality investments. This fund also has exposure to financial, market and interest rate risks. Higher yields reflect the higher credit risks associated with certain lower rated securities in the Fund's portfolio and in some cases, the lower market prices for those instruments.

NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION
Organization. The Pilgrim Funds in this report are comprised of Pilgrim Mutual Funds ("PMF"), Pilgrim Investment Funds, Inc. ("PIF"), and Pilgrim Advisory Funds, Inc. ("PAF") which are each open-end investment management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
PMF, formerly Nicholas-Applegate Mutual Funds, is a Delaware business trust organized in 1992 with eleven separate series (Portfolios). The "Funds" are Pilgrim LargeCap Growth Fund, Pilgrim MidCap Growth Fund, Pilgrim SmallCap Growth Fund, Pilgrim Worldwide Growth Fund, Pilgrim International Core Growth Fund, Pilgrim International SmallCap Growth Fund, Pilgrim Emerging Countries Fund, Pilgrim Strategic Income Fund (formerly High Quality Bond Fund), Pilgrim High Yield Fund II, Pilgrim Balanced Fund and Pilgrim Convertible Fund. In a transaction that closed on May 21, 1999, Pilgrim Investments, Inc. became the Investment Manager and Pilgrim Securities, Inc. became the Distributor of the Funds in PMF. While Pilgrim Investments, Inc. manages all the portfolios of PMF, Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management acts as sub-advisor to all the PMF portfolios with the exception of Strategic Income Fund, High Yield Fund II and Balanced Fund.
PIF, a Maryland Corporation organized in 1969, consists of Pilgrim MagnaCap Fund and Pilgrim High Yield Fund. PAF, a Maryland Corporation organized in 1995, consists of Pilgrim MidCap Value Fund, Pilgrim LargeCap Leaders Fund and Pilgrim Asia-Pacific Equity Fund. The investment objective of each Fund is described in each Fund's prospectus.
Each Fund offers at least two of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M and Class Q. This report covers only the Funds that offer Class Q shares. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees and transfer agency fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gains are allocated to each class pro rata based on the net assets of each class on the date of distribution. No class has preferential dividend rights. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the relative weighting of pro rata income and realized gain allocations and from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, shareholder servicing and transfer agency fees.
Reorganization. Before a shareholder approved reorganization effective July 24, 1998, the funds comprising PMF invested all of their assets in corresponding portfolios of Nicholas-Applegate Investment Trust, an arrangement known as a "master/feeder" structure. Upon the reorganization, the Institutional Portfolio series of the Trust were renamed Funds and were authorized to issue multiple classes of shares, and their outstanding shares were classified as Class I shares. At the same time, the A, B, C and Advisory Portfolios of the Trust transferred their assets to the corresponding Funds, and their shareholders received Class A, B, C and Q shares of the Funds on a tax-free basis. Effective May 7, 1999 and concurrent with the change in investment adviser, the Institutional Classes of PMF were transferred in a tax free reorganization to new funds being managed by Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements, and such policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Investments in equity securities traded on a national securities exchange or included on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last reported sale price. Securities traded on an exchange of NASDAQ for which there has been no sale and securities traded in the over-the-counter-market are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by each Fund's custodian. Debt securities in Pilgrim Strategic Income Fund, Pilgrim Balanced Fund and Pilgrim High Yield Fund II are valued at bid prices (Pilgrim High Yield Fund is valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices) obtained from independent services or from one or more dealers making markets in the securities. U.S. Government obligations are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services which uses prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith and in accordance with policies set by the Board of Directors. Investments in securities maturing in less than 60 days are valued at cost, which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.
B. Security Transactions and Revenue Recognition. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the funds. Premium amortization and discount accretion are determined by the effective yield method.
C. Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities -- at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the day.
(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses -- at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the day, the Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include but are not limited to re-evaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments which could cause securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government.
D. Foreign Currency Transactions. Certain funds may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to and from the U.S. dollar in connection with the planned purchases or sales of securities. The Funds either enter into these transactions on a spot basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market or use forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. When the contract is fulfilled or closed, gains or losses are realized. Until then, the gain or loss is included in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving foreign currency, interest rates, securities and securities indices, for hedging purposes only. A futures contract obligates the seller of the contract to deliver and the purchaser of the contract to take delivery of the type of foreign currency, financial instrument or security called for in the contract at a specified future time for a specified price. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, a Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount equal to the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margins and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. There were no open futures contracts at December 31, 1999.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds record distributions to their shareholders on ex-date. Each Fund pays dividends, if any, as follows:
Annually Semi-Annually Quarterly Monthly -------- ------------- --------- ------- LargeCap Growth MagnaCap Balanced Strategic MidCap Growth Convertible Income SmallCap Growth High Yield International Core High Yield II Growth Worldwide Growth International SmallCap Growth Emerging Countries |
Pilgrim High Yield II declares and goes ex-dividend daily and pays dividends monthly. Each Fund distributes capital gains, to the extent available, annually.
The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. Key differences are the treatment of short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, organization costs and other temporary differences. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. Distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes, are reported as distributions in excess of net investment income and/or net realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and/or net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.
F. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders.
Therefore, a federal income tax or excise tax provision is not required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, each Fund intends not to be subject to any federal excise tax.
The Board of Directors intends to offset any net capital gains with any available capital loss carryforward until each carryforward has been fully utilized or expires. In addition, no capital gain distribution shall be made until the capital loss carryforward has been fully utilized or expires.
Capital loss carryforwards were as follows at June 30, 1999:
Amount Expiration Dates

International Core
Growth $ 2,108,292 2005
Emerging Countries 76,846,244 2005
High Yield 9,719,347 2001 to 2002
High Yield II 2,988,771 2007
|
G. Use of Estimates. Management of the Funds has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
H. Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements only with government securities dealers recognized by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or with member banks of the Federal Reserve System. Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The resale price is in excess of the purchase price and reflects an agreed upon interest rate for the period of time the agreement is outstanding. The period of the repurchase agreements is usually short, from overnight to one week, while the underlying securities generally have longer maturities. Each Fund will always receive as collateral securities acceptable to it whose market value is equal to at least 100% of the amount being invested by the Fund. If the seller defaults, a Fund might incur a loss or delay in the realization of proceeds if the value of the collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines, and it might incur disposition costs in liquidating the collateral.
I. Reclassification. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
J. Securities Lending. Through May 21, 1999, each Fund in PMF had the option to temporarily loan securities, up to 30% of its total assets, to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in exchange for a negotiated lender's fee. The borrower fully collateralized the loans with cash, letters of credit or U.S. Government securities. The funds currently do not lend securities.
