LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Equity markets around the world registered gains during the twelve months ended
March 31, 2007. Key themes influencing stock prices were strength in the global
economy and corporate profits, tighter monetary policy from central banks
worldwide, a decline in the price of oil, and unprecedented merger and
acquisition activity.

In this annual report, we review the performance of the financial markets and
our mutual funds from April 1 through March 31. In addition, we share our
perspective on the dynamics shaping the investment landscape and our outlook for
the months ahead.

In the United States, the S&P 500 Index, a measure of the broad equity market,
gained 11.83%. GDP growth slowed from a blistering 5.6% annual pace in the first
quarter of 2006; however, the economy remained healthy, expanding 3.3% for the
full calendar year. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady from August
through March, seeking to balance the risks of slower growth and high core
inflation, which excludes food and energy prices. Investors' optimism that the
Fed had engineered a soft landing for the economy helped drive this period's
stock market advance. Strong corporate profits also contributed to rising equity
prices, with S&P 500 companies reporting their fourteenth straight quarter of
double-digit earnings growth.

In developed markets overseas, the MSCI EAFE Index rose 11.69% in local
currencies and 20.69% in U.S. dollar terms. The difference in returns was mainly
due to the strengthening of the euro and the British pound versus the U.S.
dollar. The euro and pound rose approximately 10% and 13%, respectively, buoyed
by interest rate increases from the European Central Bank and Bank of England.
Monetary tightening reflected policymakers' desire to control inflation, as well
as the ability of economies throughout the region to withstand higher rates.
Eurozone GDP growth was 2.7% in 2006 -- nearly double the 2005 pace -- and the
U.K. economy also expanded 2.7% last year. Robust growth was a driving force
behind the 13.69% increase in the MSCI Europe Index in local currencies. Gains
were more subdued in Japan, with the MSCI Japan Index rising only 3.16% in yen
and 3.09% in U.S. dollars. While the country's economy posted its eighth
consecutive quarter of growth, core inflation figures were soft and consumer
spending was sluggish throughout much of the period. The fiscal year ended on a
positive note, when the government reported that the Japanese economy grew at a
5.5% annual clip in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Bank of Japan responded by
raising interest rates for the second time in less than a year.

Emerging market equities turned in the best results this period, with the MSCI
Emerging Markets Index gaining 20.26% in local currencies and 21.03% in U.S.
dollars. Stock prices climbed higher amid rapid economic growth in many
countries, underpinned by favorable trends in domestic consumption and high
commodity prices. Growth was particularly strong in emerging Asia, led by China
and India where GDP expanded 10.7% and 9.2%, respectively, in 2006.

Globally, equity markets benefited from a steep drop in the price of oil. After
hitting an all-time high of $78.40 a barrel in July, crude fell to $49.90 in
January on rising U.S. stockpiles and mild winter weather in the United States.
A record dollar volume of mergers and acquisitions lent further support to stock
prices. Across the globe, $4.0 trillion of companies traded hands during the
fiscal year, as corporate balance sheets and private equity funds were flush
with cash and borrowing costs were low.

In this environment, seven of our thirteen mutual funds outperformed or
performed broadly in line with their benchmarks. Relative results were
consistently strong among our U.S. equity funds, led by the U.S. Systematic
Large Cap Growth Fund and the U.S. Systematic Mid Cap Growth Fund. All of our
non-U.S. equity funds trailed their benchmarks except the Emerging Markets Fund.
Over longer time periods, however, these portfolios have outperformed.

Two of our funds recently celebrated ten-year anniversaries: the U.S. Systematic
Large Cap Growth Fund and the International Growth Fund. The U.S. Systematic
Large Cap Growth Fund gained 7.57% on an annualized basis from its December 27,
1996 inception through March 31, 2007, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth
Index, which rose 5.27%. The International Growth Fund gained 10.67% on an
annualized basis from its December 27, 1996 inception through March 31, 2007,
outpacing the 8.26% increase in the MSCI EAFE Index.

Throughout the period, Nicholas-Applegate continued to bring high-caliber
investment talent and the latest technology to bear on the management of the
funds. We are currently implementing a new trading system that will enhance our
ability to control portfolio risk and transaction costs as we seek best overall
execution. We have a permanent address in London as of October 2006, and we are
expanding the team of senior investment professionals there. We have also added
several U.S.-based professionals to our traditional and systematic investment
teams. In particular, we have rebuilt our systematic team following turnover in
the spring of 2006. The team continues to refine our proprietary stock selection
models by incorporating new factors that we believe, based on extensive research
and testing, to be good predictors of excess returns. These efforts are bearing
fruit, illustrated by this period's generally strong performance of the funds we
manage using systematic processes. We are pleased to report that a new strategy
applying our systematic approach to emerging market equities was in the final
stages of development at March 31.

Looking ahead, we think that the global economy will continue to grow but at a
slower rate. The ominous clouds overhanging the U.S. economy have been well
charted and include persistent weakness in the housing market and a recent
rebound in the price of oil. We believe sluggish growth and stabilizing
inflation will prompt the Federal Reserve to stand pat, or possibly cut,
interest rates later in 2007. In contrast, the European Central Bank, Bank of
England and Bank of Japan will likely continue raising rates. We expect growth
in U.S. corporate earnings of around 5-7%, with stronger growth of 10-12%
internationally. Against this backdrop, we believe that equity market returns
will be more modest than they have been during the past twelve months.

In our view, this type of environment is ideal for security selection,
particularly for investing in companies where positive change is leading to
increased earnings estimates. We are especially optimistic in our outlook for
companies in growth sectors of the market, such as information technology,
health care and telecommunication services. Yield curves are flattening or
inverting in most major developed economies, conditions which are more conducive
to high-quality growth stocks.

On behalf of everyone at Nicholas-Applegate, thank you for your participation in
the Nicholas-Applegate Institutional Funds. We appreciate the trust you have
placed in us.

Best Regards,


/s/ Horacio A. Valeiras

U.S. MICRO CAP FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: JOHN C. MCCRAW, Portfolio Manager; TRAVIS T. PRENTICE,
Portfolio Manager; MONTIE L. WEISENBERGER, Portfolio Manager; K. MATHEW AXLINE,
CFA, Analyst; STEPHEN W. LYFORD, Analyst; JOSHUA M. MOSS, Analyst

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The U.S. Micro Cap Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation
by investing primarily in U.S. companies with "micro" market capitalizations
that offer superior growth prospects.

MARKET OVERVIEW: Prices of U.S. micro-cap growth stocks, as measured by the
Russell Microcap Growth Index, fell modestly between April 1, 2006 and March 31,
2007. Losses were concentrated early in the fiscal year amid worries that rising
inflation would cause the Federal Reserve to keep tightening monetary policy
and, by doing so, tip the economy into a recession. The index staged a comeback
in August, lifted by:

     -    The Fed's decision to leave interest rates unchanged at its August
          meeting because the economy was cooling

     -    A steep drop in the price of oil, which closed the period below $66 a
          barrel after hitting an all-time high of $78.40 in mid-July

     -    Brisk merger and acquisition activity and healthy corporate profit
          growth

Several months of back-to-back gains were unable to erase earlier losses,
however. Within the micro-cap growth market, stocks in defensive sectors, such
as financials, tended to outperform stocks in cyclical groups, such as materials
-- consistent with the slowing economy. One notable exception was health care,
which is typically viewed as a defensive sector. The health care stocks in the
index underperformed, weighed down by a double-digit loss from the volatile
biotechnology industry.

PERFORMANCE: The Fund's Class I shares lost 1.35% during the twelve months ended
March 31, 2007 but outperformed the 1.97% decline in the Russell Microcap Growth
Index.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Overall, stock selection added value relative to the index
and was especially strong in the consumer discretionary, industrials and health
care sectors. Top-performing holdings included INVESTools, a provider of
investor education products that announced it was merging with an online broker;
Force Protection, a producer of blast-resistant armored vehicles with a strong
order backlog; and Cynosure, a manufacturer of cosmetic lasers that received FDA
approval of its new liposuction product. Sector allocations, which are a
residual of the Fund's bottom-up stock selection process, also benefited
relative performance. An overweight in financials and an underweight in health
care were particularly helpful.

Stock selection in the information technology sector had the largest negative
impact on results versus the index. Within information technology, holdings in
various industries underperformed, including communications equipment, IT
services and electronic equipment/instruments. Stock selection in utilities and
financials also detracted.

MARKET OUTLOOK: Cash on corporate balance sheets and in private equity funds
should continue to drive merger and acquisition activity, lending support to
prices of micro-cap growth stocks. That said, corporate profit growth is
slowing, the housing market remains weak and the Fed is facing the difficult
combination of moderating economic growth and stubborn inflationary pressures.

Despite these headwinds, we remain optimistic in our outlook for the Fund given
our focus on bottom-up stock selection. Through in-depth research on individual
companies, we believe we can identify stocks with exciting growth prospects in
any type of investment environment.

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES COMPARED WITH THE RUSSELL 2000 GROWTH INDEX AND A
BLENDED INDEX COMPRISED OF THE RUSSELL 2000 GROWTH INDEX/RUSSELL MICROCAP GROWTH
INDEX. THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES CALCULATE THEIR PERFORMANCE BASED UPON
THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF THEIR CORRESPONDING SERIES OF NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE
MUTUAL FUNDS (RENAMED ING MUTUAL FUNDS), ADJUSTED TO REFLECT ALL FEES AND
EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO CLASS I AND II SHARES. THE NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE
INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS' CLASS I SHARES WERE FIRST AVAILABLE ON MAY 7, 1999 AND
CLASS II SHARES ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2004. THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF CLASS II
SHARES INCLUDES THE PERFORMANCE OF CLASS I SHARES FOR PERIODS PRIOR TO THE
INCEPTION OF CLASS II SHARES. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE
CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL VALUE, REINVESTMENT DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME
TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY
REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE
RESULTS.

THE RUSSELL 2000 GROWTH INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX COMPRISED OF THOSE RUSSELL
2000 COMPANIES WITH HIGHER PRICE-TO-BOOK RATIOS AND HIGHER FORECASTED GROWTH
VALUES. THE RUSSELL 2000 GROWTH INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX GENERALLY
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE 2,000 SMALLEST COMPANIES IN THE RUSSELL 3000 INDEX, WHICH
REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE TOTAL MARKET CAPITALIZATION OF THE RUSSELL
3000 INDEX.

THE RUSSELL MICROCAP GROWTH INDEX ISOLATES THE SECURITIES IN THE RUSSELL
MICROCAP INDEX WITH PURELY GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS. THE RUSSELL MICROCAP INDEX IS
A NEW INDEX (AUGUST 2000) AND THEREFORE HAS LESS PERFORMANCE HISTORY THAN THE
FUND'S CLASS I SHARES (JULY 1995) THE BLENDED INDEX REPRESENTS THE RUSSELL 2000
GROWTH PERFORMANCE UP TO THE INCEPTION OF THE RUSSELL MICROCAP GROWTH INDEX.
INDEX PERFORMANCE THEREAFTER IS THAT OF THE RUSSELL MICROCAP GROWTH INDEX.

THE INDEXES DIFFER FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DO NOT PAY MANAGEMENT FEES OR
EXPENSES AND INCLUDES REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN
INDEX. SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL
VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN
YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.

U.S. EMERGING GROWTH FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: JOHN C. MCCRAW, Portfolio Manager; TRAVIS T. PRENTICE,
Portfolio Manager; MONTIE L. WEISENBERGER, Portfolio Manager; K. MATHEW AXLINE,
CFA, Analyst; STEPHEN W. LYFORD, Analyst; JOSHUA M. MOSS, Analyst

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The U.S. Emerging Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital
appreciation through investments primarily in U.S. companies with market
capitalizations similar to the Russell 2000 Growth Index at time of purchase.

MARKET OVERVIEW: U.S. small-cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000
Growth Index, delivered modest gains during the twelve months ended March 31,
2007. While finishing the period almost where they had started, small-cap growth
stocks took dramatic twists and turns along the way. More specifically:

     -    From April through July, the index fell approximately 12% in response
          to soaring oil prices and concerns that too many interest rate hikes
          from the Federal Reserve would put a crimp in economic and earnings
          growth

     -    The index rallied more than 19% between August and late February, as
          oil prices retreated and the Fed held rates steady at each of its
          policy meetings

     -    Near the end of the period, a sell-off in Chinese equities sparked a
          decline in markets worldwide, and the index tumbled roughly 8% only to
          rebound to end March with a gain

Within the small-cap growth market, sector returns reflected investors'
diminished risk appetites. The worst-performing sectors were information
technology and health care, which includes the volatile biotech industry. The
best performers were the defensive utilities and consumer staples sectors.

PERFORMANCE: From April 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007, the Fund's Class I
shares gained 1.30% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index rose 1.57%.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Stock selection added value relative to the index and was
strongest in the industrials sector. Two of the Fund's best-performing holdings
were TeleTech Holdings, a provider of business services such as claims
processing, and General Cable, a manufacturer of cable and wire products.
TeleTech Holdings benefited from expectations that margins would expand, given a
strong demand environment and the company's efforts to keep costs low and
facility utilization high. General Cable experienced pricing power in its energy
cable business, supported by robust spending on infrastructure for transmitting
and distributing electric power. Stock selection was also strong in the
materials and consumer discretionary sectors, where top performers included
Brush Engineered Materials, a producer of specialty metals, and Crocs, a
footwear manufacturer.

While positive overall, stock selection in the information technology and
financials sectors weighed on performance versus the index. Relative results
were also hurt by sector allocations, which are a byproduct of our bottom-up
investment process. An overweight in energy stocks was particularly unfavorable
given moderating oil prices.

MARKET OUTLOOK: Cash on corporate balance sheets and in private equity funds
should continue to drive merger and acquisition activity, lending support to
prices of small-cap growth stocks. That said, corporate profit growth is
slowing, the housing market remains weak and the Fed is facing the difficult
combination of moderating economic growth and stubborn inflationary pressures.

Despite these headwinds, we remain optimistic in our outlook for the Fund given
our focus on bottom-up stock selection. Through in-depth research on individual
companies, we believe we can identify stocks with exciting growth prospects in
any type of investment environment.

THE GRAPH ABOVE SHOWS THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I SHARES COMPARED WITH THE RUSSELL 2000 GROWTH INDEX FOR THE
PERIODS INDICATED. THE FUND CALCULATES PERFORMANCE BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL
PERFORMANCE OF A CORRESPONDING SERIES OF NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE MUTUAL FUNDS
(RENAMED ING MUTUAL FUNDS), ADJUSTED TO REFLECT ALL FEES AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE
TO CLASS I SHARES. THE NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS' CLASS I SHARES
WERE FIRST AVAILABLE ON MAY 7, 1999. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE
CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL VALUE, REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME
TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY
REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE
RESULTS.

THE RUSSELL 2000 GROWTH INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX COMPRISED OF THOSE RUSSELL
2000 COMPANIES WITH HIGHER PRICE-TO-BOOK RATIOS AND HIGHER FORECASTED GROWTH
VALUES. THE RUSSELL 2000 INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX GENERALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE 2,000 SMALLEST COMPANIES IN THE RUSSELL 3000 INDEX, WHICH REPRESENTS
APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE TOTAL MARKET CAPITALIZATION OF THE RUSSELL 3000 INDEX.
THE UNMANAGED INDEX DIFFERS FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DOES NOT PAY
MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDES REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST
DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL
YOUR SHARES.

U.S. SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: MARK P. ROEMER, Portfolio Manager; CARMA WALLACE, CFA, Analyst

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The U.S. Small Cap Value Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital
appreciation through investments primarily in smaller U.S. companies with market
capitalizations corresponding to the Russell 2000 Value Index that, in the
opinion of the Investment Adviser, are undervalued in the marketplace.

MARKET OVERVIEW: The Russell 2000 Value Index, a barometer of U.S. small-cap
value stocks, posted a solid advance in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
Gains were concentrated in the second half of 2006 when oil prices fell, the
Federal Reserve took a break from two years of continuous monetary tightening
and the economy slowed but remained healthy. Lending further support to equity
prices was a boom in mergers and acquisitions, with the number of transactions
among small-cap companies reaching its highest level in six years.

The gain in the Russell 2000 Value Index was broad based, with all sectors
generating double-digit increases except financials and information technology.
In financials, stocks associated with the mortgage and real estate industries
were dragged lower by credit deterioration in the subprime mortgage market.
Information technology stocks, which are sensitive to broad movements in equity
prices, suffered losses in the spring of 2006 when investors shed riskier assets
in response to a spike in market volatility. On the plus side, stocks in the
defensive consumer staples sector turned in the best results, rising nearly 30%
amid a cooling in economic growth and volatile market conditions. Materials
stocks also outperformed, benefiting from high prices for commodities, such as
nickel, copper and corn.

PERFORMANCE: During the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, the Fund's Class I
shares gained 10.21% and the Russell 2000 Value Index increased 10.38%.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Performance versus the index was helped by positive stock
selection in a number of sectors, including financials, industrials and
utilities. The Fund's top-performing holdings included Tower Group, a
property/casualty insurance firm; Quintana Maritime, an operator of dry bulk
vessels; and CMS Energy, a gas and electric utility. Tower Group reported solid
operating results and benefited from expectations that it would continue to grow
faster than its peers, despite increased competition and rate softening in the
property/casualty market. Quintana Maritime expanded the size of its fleet and
announced new, long-term contracts for two of its carriers. CMS Energy made good
progress on its strategy of divesting non-core assets and reinstated its
quarterly dividend after a four-year absence.

Stock selection in the health care sector was the main source of relative
weakness in the portfolio, where several biotechnology holdings posted steep
declines. Stock selection in the information technology and consumer
discretionary sectors was also modestly negative.

MARKET OUTLOOK: We expect volatile market conditions to persist over the months
ahead given the crosscurrents investors are facing. On one hand, the economy and
earnings continue to grow, and merger and acquisition activity should remain
robust. On the other, rising subprime mortgage defaults are expected to
aggravate the downturn in housing and may hurt consumer spending.

As events unfold, we remain focused on adding value to the benchmark with our
diversified, stock-selection model and risk-controlled approach to portfolio
construction.

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES COMPARED WITH THE RUSSELL 2000 VALUE INDEX FOR THE
PERIODS INDICATED. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE CHANGES IN
PRINCIPAL VALUE, REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. THE
FUND'S PERFORMANCE INCLUDES HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF COMPARABLE MANAGED
INSTITUTIONAL POOLED ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY THE INVESTMENT ADVISER PRIOR TO THE
INCEPTION OF THE FUND. THE FUND COMMENCED OPERATIONS ON MAY 1, 2001 OFFERING
CLASS I SHARES. THE FUND'S CLASS II SHARES WERE FIRST AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 10,
2004. THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF CLASS II SHARES INCLUDES THE PERFORMANCE OF
CLASS I SHARES FOR PERIODS PRIOR TO THE INCEPTION OF CLASS II SHARES. THE TOTAL
RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S
INVESTMENT.

IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR
GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.
PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

THE RUSSELL 2000 VALUE INDEX MEASURES THE PERFORMANCE OF THOSE RUSSELL 2000
COMPANIES WITH LOWER PRICE-TO-BOOK RATIOS AND LOWER FORECASTED GROWTH VALUES.
THE UNMANAGED INDEX DIFFERS FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DOES NOT PAY
MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDES REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST
DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL
YOUR SHARES.

U.S. SYSTEMATIC LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: JAMES LI, PH.D., CFA, Portfolio Manager; JANE EDMONDSON,
Portfolio Manager; JUNCAI YANG, Analyst

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The U.S. Systematic Large Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in stocks from a universe of large
U.S. companies with market capitalizations similar to the upper 90% of the
Russell 1000 Growth Index at time of purchase.

MARKET OVERVIEW: Prices of U.S. large-cap growth stocks climbed higher during
the twelve months ended March 31, 2007. Market conditions were uneven, as
several months of steady gains were flanked by periods of downside volatility.

The fiscal year started on a weak note, with large-cap growth equities falling
on concerns that higher inflation would prompt the Federal Reserve to continue
raising interest rates and, in the process, dampen economic growth. The core
Consumer Price Index, which excludes food and energy prices, rose at a troubling
3.6% annual pace from April to June.

The market reversed course over the summer, however. Oil prices began to drop,
inflation expectations eased and the Fed decided at its August meeting to hold
rates steady, as it did throughout the remainder of the period. Large-cap growth
stocks continued to advance during the fall and winter, supported by healthy
corporate profit growth, brisk merger activity and signs that the Fed had
orchestrated a soft landing for the economy.

Investor complacency shifted to alarm in late February, when a steep drop in
Chinese equities sparked concerns that markets around the world, including the
U.S. market, were overvalued. In a final twist, large-cap growth stocks rallied
to finish March in positive territory, despite ongoing worries about the housing
market and mixed signals from the Fed on the direction of monetary policy.

PERFORMANCE: The Fund's Class I shares gained 10.69% from April 1, 2006 through
March 31, 2007, outperforming the 7.05% increase in the Russell 1000 Growth
Index.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Outperformance over the index was due to stock selection,
which was positive in most sectors and particularly strong among information
technology and consumer discretionary companies. In aggregate, sector
allocations detracted from relative performance.

In information technology, two of the best-performing holdings were MEMC
Electronic Materials, a supplier of wafers to the semiconductor industry, and
Sun Microsystems, a manufacturer of computer hardware. The portfolio also
benefited from avoiding hardware manufacturer Dell, which was plagued by several
issues, including heightened competition, a product recall and an investigation
into its accounting policies.

In the consumer discretionary sector, retailer J. C. Penney was a standout
performer. The company delivered strong same-store-sales growth and margin
expansion and announced that it would be launching a new, private-label line of
merchandise in 2008.

The portfolio remained well diversified throughout the period, consistent with
our risk-controlled approach to portfolio construction. At March 31, the largest
overweight versus the index was in the information technology sector (+4.6%);
the largest underweight was in financials (-4.8%).

MARKET OUTLOOK: Our process evaluates investment opportunities on a relative
basis and is required to remain fully invested. As such, the process neither
utilizes nor results in a forecast or outlook on the overall market, but strives
to outperform the Russell 1000 Growth Index in both up and down markets. By
consistently applying this process in all market environments, we believe we
will continue to identify companies with excellent growth potential for the
Fund.

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES COMPARED WITH THE RUSSELL 1000 GROWTH INDEX FOR THE
PERIODS INDICATED. THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES CALCULATE THEIR PERFORMANCE
BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF A CORRESPONDING SERIES OF
NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE MUTUAL FUNDS (RENAMED ING MUTUAL FUNDS), ADJUSTED TO REFLECT
ALL FEES AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES. THE
NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS' CLASS I SHARES WERE FIRST AVAILABLE ON
MAY 7, 1999 AND CLASS II SHARES ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2005. THE HISTORICAL
PERFORMANCE OF CLASS II SHARES INCLUDES THE PERFORMANCE OF CLASS I SHARES FOR
PERIODS PRIOR TO THE INCEPTION OF CLASS II. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES
INCLUDE CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL VALUE, REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME
TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY
REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE
RESULTS.

RUSSELL 1000 GROWTH INDEX MEASURES THE PERFORMANCE OF THOSE RUSSELL 1000
COMPANIES WITH HIGHER PRICE-TO-BOOK RATIOS AND HIGHER FORECASTED GROWTH VALUES.
THE RUSSELL 1000 INDEX CONSISTS OF THE 1,000 LARGEST SECURITIES IN THE RUSSELL
3000 INDEX, WHICH REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE TOTAL MARKET
CAPITALIZATION OF THE RUSSELL 3000 INDEX. IT IS A LARGE-CAP, MARKET-ORIENTED
INDEX AND IS HIGHLY CORRELATED WITH THE S&P 500 INDEX. THE UNMANAGED INDEX
DIFFERS FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DOES NOT PAY MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES
AND INCLUDES REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL
YOUR SHARES.

U.S. SYSTEMATIC MID CAP GROWTH FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: JANE EDMONDSON, Portfolio Manager; MARK P. ROEMER, Portfolio
Manager

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The U.S. Systematic Mid Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation through investments primarily in stocks of mid-sized U.S.
companies. Generally, mid-sized companies are those within the capitalization
range of the Russell Midcap Growth Index, as measured at time of purchase.

MARKET OVERVIEW: U.S. mid-cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap
Growth Index, posted solid gains from April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007. After a
weak start to the fiscal year, a number of factors helped drive the index
higher, including:

     -    Retreat in oil prices, which hit a record $78.40 a barrel in July but
          fell to $49.90 in January

     -    Pause in monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve after seventeen
          consecutive rate hikes between June 2004 and June 2006

     -    Solid economic backdrop and healthy corporate profit growth among
          medium-sized companies

A pickup in mergers, acquisitions and leveraged buyouts contributed to gains
among mid-cap growth stocks. The brisk pace of transactions was fueled by
cash-rich corporate balance sheets, strong inflows into private equity funds and
favorable credit market conditions.

The increase in the Russell Midcap Growth Index was broad based. Information
technology was the only sector to register a loss, hurt by market volatility
early and late in the period and concerns about the accounting treatment of
stock options, a popular form of compensation in the sector. While only a small
weight in the index, the utilities sector posted the highest return amid
consolidation in the group and a favorable pricing environment.

PERFORMANCE: During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the Fund's Class I
shares rose 10.54%, outperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which gained
6.89%.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund's outperformance was due to stock selection, which
was positive in most sectors. Stock selection was strongest in the consumer
discretionary sector, where toy manufacturer Mattel, cable TV operator
Cablevision Systems and weight loss company NutriSystem were top performers.
Mattel saw good sales growth across its major segments, including its Barbie
brand. Cablevision Systems announced that it had received a bid to be taken
private by the company's founding family. NutriSystem benefited from a favorable
outlook for its men's and senior citizens' programs. A lack of exposure to
several homebuilding stocks that fell sharply further boosted relative results
in the consumer discretionary sector.

Stock selection in the industrials and utilities sectors was also notably
strong, led by significant gains from AMR Corporation, the parent company of
American Airlines, and Mirant, an independent power producer. The main areas of
relative weakness in the portfolio were stock selection among financials and
materials companies.

Throughout the period, we maintained the Fund's well diversified structure. The
largest overweight versus the index at March 31 was in the consumer staples
sector (+3.8%), and the largest underweight was in health care (-5.0%).

MARKET OUTLOOK: Our process evaluates investment opportunities on a relative
basis and is required to remain fully invested. As such, the process neither
utilizes nor results in a forecast or outlook on the overall market, but expects
to perform equally well versus the Russell Midcap Growth Index in both up and
down markets. We are confident that the Fund's proprietary stock-selection
model, in conjunction with its risk-controlled approach to portfolio
construction, will continue to add value above the benchmark over time.

PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

THE RUSSELL MIDCAP GROWTH INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX GENERALLY REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE SMALLEST 800 STOCKS IN THE RUSSELL 1000 INDEX AS RANKED BY TOTAL MARKET
CAPITALIZATION. THE RUSSELL 1000 INDEX CONSISTS OF THE 1,000 LARGEST SECURITIES
IN THE RUSSELL 3000 INDEX, WHICH REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE TOTAL
MARKET CAPITALIZATION OF THE INDEX. RUSSELL GROWTH INDEXES MEASURE THE
PERFORMANCE OF THOSE COMPANIES WITH HIGHER PRICE-TO-BOOK RATIOS AND HIGHER
FORECASTED GROWTH VALUES. ONE CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL
YOUR SHARES.

U.S. CONVERTIBLE FUND

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The U.S. Convertible Fund seeks to maximize total return consisting of
capital appreciation and current income by investing primarily in convertible
securities of U.S. companies across all market capitalizations.

MARKET OVERVIEW: The Merrill Lynch All Convertibles All Qualities Index gained
9.82% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Convertible securities
outperformed the NASDAQ Composite Index, which rose 4.23%, but trailed the S&P
500 Index, up 11.83%.

Like the U.S. equity market, the convertible market started the period on a
volatile note, as investors speculated about when the Federal Reserve would stop
raising short-term interest rates. Convertibles subsequently posted three
consecutive quarters of gains, benefiting from the broad, upward move in equity
prices. Strength in the stock market was driven by a drop in oil prices, the end
of two years of continuous monetary tightening and a solid backdrop of economic
and earnings growth. That said, market volatility spiked again toward the end of
the period amid rising oil prices and weakness in the housing and subprime
mortgage sectors.

Large and mid-cap convertibles outperformed small caps, and total return and
more equity-sensitive convertibles outperformed "busted," or bond-like, issues.
Utilities and materials were the best-performing industries, while energy and
health care were the worst. New issuance continues to exceed expectations and
was particularly strong in March.

PERFORMANCE: Between April 1, 2006 and March 31, 2007, the Fund's Class I shares
gained 10.79%, outperforming the 9.82% increase in the Merrill Lynch All
Convertibles All Qualities Index.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Stock selection was the key driver of the Fund's absolute
and relative performance, and positions in diverse industries contributed to
this period's strong results. Several of our industrial names benefited from
robust quarterly earnings and impressive operating improvements. Select
utilities advanced on solid corporate profits, attractive valuations and higher
power prices. Certain insurance holdings also rose on solid profits, as well as
lower-than-expected catastrophe losses. In addition, a metal producer we owned
in the portfolio was acquired for a 30% premium. On the negative side, select
technology companies declined on disappointing earnings. Certain energy holdings
moved lower on falling oil prices and the potential impact on future profits.

As of March 31, the Fund's conversion premium was 15%, compared to the market's
premium of 31%. The Fund continues to be well positioned to participate in the
upside of an improving economic environment, while not sacrificing downside
protection.

MARKET OUTLOOK: We believe convertible securities remain a compelling asset
class. Although the U.S. equity market may face some headwinds, such as further
deterioration in the subprime mortgage market, the economy is healthy, corporate
balance sheets are solid and defaults are low. Other possible catalysts for
equities include a cooling of inflation and an interest rate cut from the Fed.

We continue to build the Fund one security at a time by finding companies that
are opportunistically capitalizing on change. We are also maintaining our
discipline by seeking to identify the best convertibles with the optimal
risk/reward profile: 70-80% of the upside and 40-50% of the downside.

CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE
EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY
REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY
GAINS YOU MAY REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE
FUTURE RESULTS.

FOR THE PERIOD FROM THE FUND'S INCEPTION TO DECEMBER 31, 2004, PERFORMANCE IS
COMPARED TO THE CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON CONVERTIBLE INDEX. FOR THE PERIOD
FROM JANUARY 1, 2005 TO PRESENT, PERFORMANCE IS COMPARED TO THE MERRILL LYNCH
ALL CONVERTIBLES, ALL QUALITIES INDEX. THE CHANGE IN BENCHMARKS WAS PROMPTED BY
THE RETIREMENT OF THE CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON CONVERTIBLE INDEX IN DECEMBER
2004.

THE UNMANAGED INDEXES DIFFER FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DO NOT PAY MANAGEMENT
FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDE REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN
AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL
YOUR SHARES.

GLOBAL SELECT FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: NICHOLAS MELHUISH, Portfolio Manager; CHRISTOPHER A. HERRERA,
Portfolio Manager; PEDRO V. MARCAL, Portfolio Manager; TODD R. BUECHS, Analyst;
FLORA KIM, Analyst; GREGORY ISE, Analyst; ALAN TRICE, Analyst

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The Global Select Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation by
investing in companies that, in the opinion of the Investment Adviser, represent
the "best of the best" globally.

MARKET OVERVIEW: From April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007, equity markets around the
world posted solid gains. The environment was characterized by:

     -    Healthy pace of global economic expansion, led by strength in
          developing Asian countries

     -    Boom in mergers and acquisitions, driven by low borrowing costs and
          abundant liquidity

     -    Concerns about inflation and tighter monetary policy from central
          banks worldwide

Several months of back-to-back gains were flanked by periods of downside
volatility. Global stock markets sold off in May due to worries about U.S.
inflation that were fueled by hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve and a
jump in core consumer prices. Volatility returned in February amid a steep drop
in Chinese equities, weakness in the U.S. subprime mortgage market and an
unwinding of the yen carry trade --the practice of taking out yen-denominated
loans and relending the proceeds in markets with higher interest rates.

Despite intermittent volatility, emerging market equities posted substantial
increases, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index climbing more than 20% in both
local currencies and U.S. dollars. The MSCI EAFE Index, a barometer of non-U.S.
developed stock markets, advanced 20.69% in dollar terms, with much of the gain
coming from a strengthening in non-U.S. currencies. Globally, value stocks
outpaced growth stocks by a wide margin.

PERFORMANCE: The Fund's Class I shares gained 10.64% and the MSCI All Country
World Index advanced 16.42% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2007.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Value stock leadership hurt the Fund's relative performance
since holdings are concentrated in growth stocks, while the style-neutral
benchmark includes both growth and value names. Other notable areas of relative
weakness were stock selection in Japan and the financials and consumer
discretionary sectors.

On the positive side, stock selection in Ireland and the consumer staples and
telecommunication services sectors added value relative to the index.
Top-performing holdings included Ireland-based C&C Group, a food and beverage
company, and Hong Kong-based Hutchison Telecommunications International, a
provider of telecom services that derives most its revenue from mobile services
in India. C&C Group reported robust sales, driven by the successful rollout of
its Magners branded cider in the U.K. market. Hutchison benefited from
better-than-expected subscriber growth and signs of a pickup in merger and
acquisition activity among emerging telecom companies.

At March 31, the Fund was overweight stocks in developed European and emerging
Asian countries. As the result of our company-specific fundamental research, we
have identified many exciting growth opportunities in these markets.

MARKET OUTLOOK: We are optimistic in our outlook for global equities throughout
the remainder of 2007. While the U.S. economy is slowing as it digests
successive interest rate hikes and a downturn in the housing market, economies
throughout the rest of the world should remain strong. Steady economic expansion
in Europe, moderate growth in Japan and strength in emerging countries are
likely to offset any slowdown in the United States.

As always, we remain focused on finding those companies for the Fund that appear
well positioned to capitalize on the changing environment.

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES COMPARED WITH THE MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL
INTERNATIONAL ALL COUNTRY WORLD INDEX ("MSCI ACWI") OVER THE PERIODS INDICATED.
THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES CALCULATE THEIR PERFORMANCE BASED UPON THE
HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF THEIR CORRESPONDING SERIES OF NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE
MUTUAL FUNDS (RENAMED ING MUTUAL FUNDS), ADJUSTED TO REFLECT ALL FEES AND
EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES. THE NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE
INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS' CLASS I SHARES WERE FIRST AVAILABLE ON MAY 7, 1999 AND
CLASS II SHARES ON JUNE 30, 2003. THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF CLASS II SHARES
INCLUDES THE PERFORMANCE OF CLASS I SHARES FOR PERIODS PRIOR TO THE INCEPTION OF
CLASS II. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL
VALUE, REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS
SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S
INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURNS ON
INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR
SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

THE MSCI ACWI IS A MARKET CAPITALIZATION WEIGHTED INDEX COMPOSED OF OVER 2000
COMPANIES. THE MSCI ACWI IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MARKET STRUCTURE OF 21
COUNTRIES IN NORTH AMERICA, EUROPE, AND THE PACIFIC RIM, EXCLUDING CLOSED
MARKETS AND THOSE SHARES IN OTHERWISE FREE MARKETS THAT ARE NOT PURCHASABLE BY
FOREIGNERS.

THE UNMANAGED INDEX DIFFERS FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DOES NOT PAY
MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDES REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST
DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS, CURRENCY VOLATILITY AND THE SOCIAL,
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CLIMATES OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE FUND INVESTS. YOU MAY
HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA, Portfolio Manager and Chief
Investment Officer; VINCENT WILLYARD, CFA, Portfolio Manager; PEDRO V. MARCAL,
Portfolio Manager

GOAL: The International Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital
appreciation through investments primarily in companies located outside the
United States with market capitalizations predominantly in the top 75% of
publicly traded companies as measured by stock market capitalizations within
each country.

MARKET OVERVIEW: Equity prices in developed markets outside the United States
climbed higher during the twelve months ended March 31, 2007. A drop in the U.S.
dollar relative to a broad basket of currencies significantly enhanced returns
for U.S.-based investors.

European stock markets turned in some of the best results, supported by the
biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions the region had ever seen. In 2006, the
total value of deals was estimated at $1.6 trillion, reflecting corporate cash
surpluses, robust inflows into private equity funds and favorable borrowing
conditions. A positive economic backdrop contributed to equity market gains,
with the U.K. and Eurozone economies expanding 2.7% last year. To curb
inflation, both the Bank of England and European Central Bank tightened monetary
policy.

Australia was another top-performing market, with stock prices reaching record
levels during the first quarter of 2007. Surging commodity exports helped drive
Australia's unemployment rate to a 31-year low and consumer confidence to a
17-month high.

The Japanese stock market advanced, although gains were subdued. The core
Consumer Price Index, which excludes prices of food but not energy, drifted
between zero and 0.1%, suggesting that the country's long battle with deflation
was unresolved. Nevertheless, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates to 0.5% in
two, quarter-point increments.

PERFORMANCE: From April 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007, the Fund's Class I
shares gained 13.80% and the MSCI EAFE Index rose 20.69%.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund's increase was broad based, with stocks in most
countries and sectors of investment posting gains. Compared to the index,
holdings in the United Kingdom, Germany and the consumer discretionary and
financials sectors subtracted the most from relative performance, largely due to
stock selection. An underweight in the British pound that resulted from our
bottom-up investment decisions contributed to relative weakness in the United
Kingdom. The pound rose 13.3% versus the U.S. dollar this period as rising U.K.
inflation prompted three interest rate increases from the Bank of England.

On the plus side, stock selection in Ireland, Switzerland and the
telecommunication services and health care sectors boosted results versus the
index. Two of the best-performing names in the portfolio were Ireland-based C&C
Group, a food and beverage distributor, and Australia-based CSL Limited, a
biotechnology company. C&C Group experienced robust sales of its international
cider brand Magners after broadening the product's distribution in the United
Kingdom. CSL Limited reported better-than-expected operating performance, driven
by margin expansion within its international plasma division.

MARKET OUTLOOK: While there are areas of concern, such as persistently weak
consumer price data in Japan, we think the prospects for international equities
are favorable. The tightest European job market on record has regional optimism
on the rise. In Germany, measures of consumer, business and investor confidence
advanced in March. Furthermore, China's thirst for raw materials is expected to
fuel a fourth consecutive year of record overseas sales for Australia's
exporters.

Nicholas-Applegate believes that the Fund is well positioned to capitalize on
changes in the market environment as they unfold.

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES COMPARED WITH THE MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL
INTERNATIONAL EUROPE, AUSTRALASIA, FAR EAST INDEX ("MSCI EAFE") OVER THE PERIODS
INDICATED. THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES CALCULATE THEIR PERFORMANCE BASED
UPON THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF THEIR CORRESPONDING SERIES OF
NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE MUTUAL FUNDS (RENAMED ING MUTUAL FUNDS), ADJUSTED TO REFLECT
ALL FEES AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES. THE
NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS' CLASS I SHARES WERE FIRST AVAILABLE ON
MAY 7, 1999 AND CLASS II SHARES ON JANUARY 23, 2006. THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
OF CLASS II SHARES INCLUDES THE PERFORMANCE OF CLASS I SHARES FOR PERIODS PRIOR
TO THE INCEPTION OF CLASS II SHARES. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE
CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL VALUE, REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME
TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY
REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE
RESULTS.

THE MSCI EAFE INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX OF OVER 900 COMPANIES, AND IS A
GENERALLY ACCEPTED BENCHMARK FOR MAJOR OVERSEAS MARKETS. INDEX WEIGHTINGS
REPRESENT THE RELATIVE CAPITALIZATIONS OF THE MAJOR OVERSEAS MARKETS INCLUDED IN
THE INDEX ON A U.S. DOLLAR ADJUSTED BASIS. THE UNMANAGED INDEX DIFFERS FROM THE
FUND IN COMPOSITION, DOES NOT PAY MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDES
REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS, CURRENCY VOLATILITY AND THE SOCIAL,
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CLIMATES OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE FUND INVESTS. YOU MAY
HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: VINCENT WILLYARD, CFA, Portfolio Manager; JOSEPH DEVINE,
Portfolio Manager; STEPHEN DERKASH, Analyst; BARRY KENDALL, Analyst

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The International Growth Opportunities Fund seeks to maximize long-term
capital appreciation through investments primarily in companies located outside
the United States with market capitalizations predominantly in the bottom 20% of
publicly traded companies as measured by the market capitalization in the
Citigroup World BMI xUS.

MARKET OVERVIEW: International small-cap equities posted substantial gains
between April 1, 2006 and March 31, 2007. The U.S. dollar fell against a basket
of currencies, enhancing returns when translated into dollar terms. Broad
strength in the international small-cap market was driven by:

     -    Positive economic backdrop, with global GDP rising 5.6% in 2006 and
          expectations for continued healthy growth in 2007-2008

     -    Retreat in the price of oil, which fell more than 35% between July and
          January

     -    Robust merger, acquisition and buyout activity, fueled by abundant
          liquidity and low borrowing costs

Within the Citigroup World EMI xUS, returns in U.S. dollar terms were positive
in all countries except Japan. Japanese equities declined amid sluggish domestic
consumer spending, a severe weakening in the yen versus European currencies and
concerns that moderating U.S economic growth would hurt Japanese exports. In
contrast, Australian small caps posted some of the best returns, supported by
high commodity prices and strong consumer spending. Germany, Spain and
Switzerland were other top small-cap markets.

PERFORMANCE: The Fund's Class I shares gained 18.71% during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2007, and the Citigroup World EMI xUS rose 23.14%.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund participated in the small-cap market's advance,
with stocks in most countries and sectors of investment generating gains.
Results did not keep pace with the rapid rise in the benchmark, however.
Underperformance at the country level was driven by stock selection in the
United Kingdom and Germany. At the sector level, information technology had the
largest negative effect on relative returns, due to stock selection and an
overweight in the group. The fact that international small-cap growth stocks
trailed their value counterparts also weighed on relative results, since the
Fund's holdings are concentrated in growth stocks while the benchmark is style
neutral.

On a positive note, stock selection in China and the industrials and health care
sectors added significant value. One of the Fund's best-performing holdings was
Spain-based Grifols, a biopharmaceuticals company specializing in plasma
products. Grifols benefited from several favorable developments, including
higher plasma prices.

MARKET OUTLOOK: Over the remainder of 2007, we are cautiously optimistic in our
outlook for international small-cap stocks. There are risks facing the market,
such as high core inflation in the United States which has made the Federal
Reserve reluctant to cut interest rates. However, several positive factors may
drive further gains, including:

     -    Expectations for steady economic growth in Europe and moderate
          expansion in Japan

     -    Efforts by policymakers in China and India to control spending and
          inflation in those countries

Regardless of the direction the broader market takes, we are confident that our
bottom-up investment approach will uncover exciting growth opportunities for the
Fund.

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I THROUGH IV SHARES COMPARED WITH THE CITIGROUP WORLD EX-U.S.
EXTENDED MARKET INDEX ("EMI") AND THE CITIGROUP WORLD EMI XUS GROWTH INDEX INDEX
FOR THE PERIODS INDICATED. THE FUND'S CLASS I THROUGH IV SHARES CALCULATE THEIR
PERFORMANCE BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF THEIR CORRESPONDING SERIES
OF NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE MUTUAL FUNDS (RENAMED ING MUTUAL FUNDS), ADJUSTED TO
REFLECT ALL FEES AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO THE FUND'S CLASS I THROUGH IV
SHARES. THE NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS' CLASS I SHARES WERE FIRST
AVAILABLE ON MAY 7, 1999, CLASS II SHARES COMMENCED OPERATIONS ON JUNE 5, 2003,
CLASS III SHARES ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2005, AND CLASS IV SHARES ON AUGUST 31, 2005.
THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF CLASS II, III, AND IV SHARES INCLUDES THE
PERFORMANCE OF CLASS I SHARES FOR PERIODS PRIOR TO THE INCEPTION OF THE RELEVANT
CLASS. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL VALUE,
REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN
ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN
MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS
PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST
PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

THE CITIGROUP WORLD X-U.S. EXTENDED MARKET INDEX ("EMI") IS A WORLD MARKET
CAPITALIZATION WEIGHTED INDEX MEASURING CAPITAL APPRECIATION EXCLUDING THE U.S.
THE EMI INDEX IS COMPRISED OF COMPANIES IN THE BOTTOM 20% OF ANY GIVEN COUNTRY'S
AVAILABLE MARKET CAPITALIZATION. MAJOR CORPORATE EVENTS SUCH AS EXTRAORDINARY
DIVIDENDS, SPIN-OFFS, SCRIP ISSUES IN OTHER SECURITIES, AND SHARES REPURCHASED
VIA TENDER OFFERS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE CALCULATION. THE CITIGROUP WORLD EMI
XUS GROWTH INDEX COVERS ONLY THOSE COMPANIES IN EACH COUNTRY THAT EXHIBIT GROWTH
CHARACTERISTICS RELATIVE TO OTHER COMPANIES IN THE SAME COUNTRY ACCORDING TO A
MULTIVARIABLE FORMULA. THE INDEXES ARE UNMANAGED AND DO NOT INCLUDE
NON-EXTRAORDINARY DIVIDENDS. THE UNMANAGED INDEXES DIFFER FROM THE FUND IN
COMPOSITION, DO NOT PAY MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES, AND INCLUDE REINVESTED
DIVIDENDS. ONE CAN NOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS, CURRENCY VOLATILITY AND THE SOCIAL,
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CLIMATES OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE FUND INVESTS. YOU MAY
HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.

EMERGING MARKETS FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: JOSEPH DEVINE, Portfolio Manager; VINCENT WILLYARD, CFA,
Portfolio Manager; STEPHEN DERKASH, Analyst; BARRY KENDALL, Analyst

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The Emerging Markets Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation
primarily through investments in countries with emerging securities markets.
These markets have yet to reach a level of maturity associated with the
developed foreign stock markets and are, in the opinion of the Investment
Adviser, less sophisticated than more developed markets in terms of
participation, analyst coverage, liquidity and regulation.

MARKET OVERVIEW: From August 18 (the inception date of the Fund) through March
31, 2007, emerging market equities delivered impressive increases. Gains were
concentrated in the fourth quarter of 2006, a period in which stocks in several
markets reached all-time highs, including Mexico and India.

Several factors created a favorable backdrop for stocks in developing countries.
Economic activity was brisk, with the global economy expanding by 5.4% in 2006.
Oil prices started the period above $70 a barrel but fell to $49.90 in January
on a surge in crude inventories and mild winter weather in the United States.
And despite spiking up late in the period, market volatility was generally low,
whetting investors' appetites for riskier assets.

Among the larger markets, China was the best-performing country. Economic and
earnings growth in China remained robust, driven by infrastructure and consumer
spending. In 2006, investment in fixed assets rose 24.5%, and retail sales grew
13.7% in nominal terms. Among the smaller markets, the Philippines turned in
some of the highest returns. The country's stock market benefited from political
stability, improving macroeconomic fundamentals and strong performance at the
company level.

PERFORMANCE: The Fund's Class I shares rose 28.65% from the August 18, 2006
inception of the Fund through March 31, 2007. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index
gained 20.84% during the same time.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Outperformance of the index was largely due to stock
selection, which was positive in most countries and sectors. Stock selection was
particularly strong in China, South Korea and the consumer discretionary and
information technology sectors. Two of the Fund's best-performing holdings were
China Hongxing Sports, an athletic shoe manufacturer, and Grupo Famsa, a
retailer based in Mexico. China Hongxing Sports continued to benefit from rising
Chinese consumption and a favorable outlook for the shoe industry. Grupo Famsa
also benefited from strong domestic demand, as a homebuilding boom in Mexico has
fueled sales of furniture, appliances and other household goods that the company
sells. A lack of exposure to South Korea-based Samsung Electronics was another
source of value added.

Areas of relative weakness included an underweight in telecommunication
services. In our view, the sector is still facing intense competition and
pricing pressure, and we have identified what we believe to be better
opportunities elsewhere.

MARKET OUTLOOK: Over the near term, we remain cautiously optimistic for emerging
market equities. After such strong performance, valuations are high in some
cases, which may lead to further market volatility. That said, longer-term
positives include:

     -    Solid country fundamentals, with the majority of the world's budget
          and fiscal surpluses in developing nations

     -    Generally positive outlook for earnings growth

We are particularly excited about the growth prospects of many smaller
industrial and consumer-oriented companies that are less dependent on global
cyclical demand and more dependent on domestic demand. We are actively pursuing
these types of opportunities for the Fund.

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES COMPARED WITH THE MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL
INTERNATIONAL EMERGING MARKETS INDEX ("MSCI EM") OVER THE PERIODS INDICATED.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL VALUE,
REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN
ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN
MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS
PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST
PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

THE MSCI EM INDEX IS A MARKET CAPITALIZATION WEIGHTED INDEX COMPOSED OF OVER 800
COMPANIES REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MARKET STRUCTURE OF EMERGING COUNTRIES IN
EUROPE, LATIN AMERICA, AFRICA, MIDDLE EAST AND ASIA. THE MSCI EM INDEX EXCLUDES
CLOSED MARKETS AND THOSE SHARES IN OTHERWISE FREE MARKETS THAT ARE NOT
PURCHASABLE BY FOREIGNERS. THE MSCI EM GROWTH INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX
CONSISTING OF THAT 50% OF THE MSCI EM WITH THE HIGHEST PRICE/BOOK VALUE (P/BV)
RATIO. INDEX WEIGHTINGS REPRESENT THE RELATIVE CAPITALIZATIONS OF THE MAJOR
OVERSEAS MARKETS INCLUDED IN THE INDEX ON A U.S. DOLLAR ADJUSTED BASIS.

THE UNMANAGED INDEX DIFFERS FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DOES NOT PAY
MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDES REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST
DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX. SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN
AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS, CURRENCY VOLATILITY
AND THE SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CLIMATES OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE FUND
INVESTS. YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.

INTERNATIONAL SYSTEMATIC FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA, Portfolio Manager and Chief
Investment Officer; KUNAL GHOSH, Portfolio Manager; STEVEN TAEL, PH.D.,
Portfolio Manager

GOAL: The International Systematic Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital
appreciation through investments primarily in companies located in the developed
countries represented in the MSCI EAFE Index. The Investment Adviser identifies
investment opportunities using a quantitative model that integrates stock,
sector, country and currency selection decisions.

MARKET OVERVIEW: Equities in developed non-U.S. countries registered gains from
April 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007. The U.S. dollar weakened against a broad basket
of currencies, nearly doubling returns for U.S.-based investors. Key factors
influencing stock prices included:

     -    Decline in the price of oil to $49.90 a barrel in January after
          peaking at $78.40 in July

     -    Higher interest rates from central banks worldwide, including the Bank
          of Japan which raised rates for the first time in many years

     -    Generally favorable backdrop of economic and earnings growth

Solid, month-to-month gains throughout much of the period were flanked by
periods of extreme volatility. In the spring of 2006, international equity
markets tumbled as investors worldwide speculated about when the U.S. monetary
tightening cycle would end. In February 2007, an 8.8% drop in the Shanghai
Composite Index triggered a global sell-off in equities. The period ended on a
positive note, however, with the MSCI EAFE Index rebounding to finish March in
positive territory.

Markets in all countries within the MSCI EAFE Index advanced in local currency
terms, with Singapore, Spain and Australia producing some of the highest
returns.

PERFORMANCE: During the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, the Fund's Class I
shares gained 19.04% and the MSCI EAFE Index rose 20.69%.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: The Fund generated a strong positive return, with stocks in
most countries and all sectors of investment posting gains. On a comparative
basis, results modestly trailed the rapid rise in the benchmark. Major areas of
relative weakness were stock selection in the United Kingdom and the consumer
discretionary and health care sectors. Examples of stocks that underperformed
were two manufacturers of automotive components that were hurt by increasing
competitive pressures globally.

On the plus side, stock selection in Japan and the information technology and
industrials sectors has a significant positive impact on results versus the
index. Top-performing holdings included Finland-based Outokumpu, a stainless
steel manufacturer, and France-based Vallourec, a steel tube producer. Both
companies benefited from strong demand for raw steel and value-added steel
products.

Consistent with our risk-controlled approach to portfolio construction, the Fund
remained well diversified across countries and sectors throughout the period.
Based on our model's bottom-up stock selection recommendations, at March 31, the
Fund's largest overweights versus the MSCI EAFE Index were in Japan (+4.8%) and
the information technology sector (+4.7%). The largest underweights were in
Germany (-3.5%) and the energy sector (-3.5%).

MARKET OUTLOOK: The Fund's investment process evaluates opportunities on a
relative basis and is required to remain fully invested. The Fund's investment
process neither utilizes, nor results in, a forecast or outlook on the overall
market. Rather, the Fund strives to outperform the EAFE Index in both up and
down markets. By applying our disciplined, bottom-up approach in all investment
environments, we believe the Fund will generate consistently strong returns over
time.

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I, II AND III SHARES WITH THE MSCI EAFE INDEX FOR THE PERIODS
INDICATED. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL
VALUE, REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. THE CLASS I SHARES
COMMENCED OPERATIONS ON JULY 6, 2005 AND CLASS II AND II SHARES ON DECEMBER 22,
2006. THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF CLASS II AND III SHARES INCLUDES THE
PERFORMANCE OF CLASS I SHARES FOR THE PERIODS PRIOR TO THE INCEPTION OF CLASS II
AND III SHARES. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME
TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUALS' INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY
REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE
RESULTS.

THE MSCI EAFE INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX COMPRISED OF OVER 900 COMPANIES AND IS
A GENERALLY ACCEPTED BENCHMARK FOR MAJOR OVERSEAS MARKETS. INDEX WEIGHTINGS
REPRESENT THE RELATIVE CAPITALIZATIONS OF THE MAJOR OVERSEAS MARKETS INCLUDED IN
THE INDEX ON A U.S. DOLLAR ADJUSTED BASIS. THE UNMANAGED INDEX DIFFERS FROM THE
FUND IN COMPOSITION, DOES NOT PAY MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDES
REINVESTMENT DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS, CURRENCY VOLATILITY AND THE SOCIAL,
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CLIMATES OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE FUND INVESTS. YOU MAY
HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.

INTERNATIONAL ALL CAP GROWTH FUND

MANAGEMENT TEAM: VINCENT WILLYARD, CFA, Portfolio Manager; JOSEPH DEVINE,
Portfolio Manager; STEPHEN DERKASH, Analyst; BARRY KENDALL, Analyst

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The International All Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital
appreciation. In pursuing this goal, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio
of equity securities of companies primarily located in developed non-U.S.
markets.

MARKET OVERVIEW: Equity prices in developed non-U.S. countries, as measured by
the MSCI EAFE Index, posted impressive gains during the fiscal year ended March
31, 2007. A decline in the U.S. dollar versus a broad basket of currencies
substantially boosted returns for U.S.-based investors.

European stock markets performed especially well, lifted by robust merger and
acquisition activity and healthy economic expansion. Growth in the euro region
accelerated to its fastest pace in six years, and U.K. GDP growth was also
strong. The German economy was a particular bright spot in Europe. Spurred by
record exports, German GDP grew 2.7% in 2006, after having been a drag on
Eurozone growth for more than a decade. Both the European Central Bank and Bank
of England raised interest rates in efforts to curb inflation.

Gains were more moderate in Asia-Pacific markets, where Japanese stocks advanced
but were notable laggards. The country's economic recovery hit a soft patch in
the middle of 2006 but subsequently regained traction. Reports showed that
Japanese GDP grew 5.5%, annualized, in the fourth quarter of 2006, fueled by
gains in consumer spending and business investment. The Bank of Japan also
tightened monetary policy, evidence of its confidence in the economic outlook.
Elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region, Australian shares hit an all-time high,
buoyed by a six-year rally in commodity prices.

PERFORMANCE: The Fund's Class I shares gained 15.75% between April 1, 2006 and
March 31, 2007. The MSCI EAFE Growth Index, the Fund's primary benchmark,
increased 18.11% and the MSCI EAFE Index rose 20.69%.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: This period's underperformance was driven by country and
currency allocations relative to the indexes. These exposures are a function of
our bottom-up stock selection process that searches for the best growth ideas
outside the United States. The most unfavorable country allocations were
underweights in the United Kingdom, Spain and Australia. In terms of currencies,
the Fund was underweight the British pound, which strengthened versus the
dollar, and had historically high weightings in emerging market currencies (up
to 15% of total market value), which fell versus the dollar. Stock selection
versus the MSCI EAFE Index was also modestly negative. However, stock selection
added value relative to the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, the Fund's primary
benchmark. Stock selection was, by far, the strongest in Japan, followed by
Ireland and Switzerland. One of the portfolio's best-performing names was
Japan-based SUMCO, a manufacturer of silicon wafers for the semiconductor
industry. The company reported strong sales growth and announced plans for a
large-scale capacity expansion.

MARKET OUTLOOK: Over the remainder of 2007, we are cautiously optimistic in our
outlook for international equities. There are risks facing the market, such as
high core inflation in the United States which has made the Federal Reserve
reluctant to cut interest rates. However, several positive factors may drive
further gains, including:

     -    Expectations for steady economic growth in Europe and moderate
          expansion in Japan

     -    Efforts by policymakers in China and India to control spending and
          inflation in those countries

Amid shifting market conditions, we remain focused on identifying fundamentally
strong companies with exceptional growth prospects for the Fund.

THE GRAPH ABOVE SHOWS THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I SHARES COMPARED WITH THE MSCI EAFE GROWTH INDEX AND MSCI EAFE
INDEX FOR THE PERIODS INDICATED. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE
CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL VALUE, REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME
TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY
REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE
RESULTS.

ON NOVEMBER 18, 2005, THE FUND BECAME THE SUCCESSOR ENTITY TO THE
NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INTERNATIONAL ALL CAP GROWTH FUND, A SERIES OF THE
PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED PORTFOLIOS ("ACQUIRED FUND"). THE ACQUIRED FUND
TRANSFERRED ALL OF ITS ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN EXCHANGE FOR SHARES OF THE
FUND, AND THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS OF THE FUND ARE
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THE ACQUIRED FUND. THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN ABOVE
INCLUDES THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE ACQUIRED FUND FROM JUNE 30, 1999 TO
NOVEMBER 18, 2005.

THE MSCI EAFE GROWTH INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX THAT IS A GENERALLY ACCEPTED
BENCHMARK FOR MAJOR OVERSEAS MARKETS. IT CONSISTS OF THE TOP 50% OF THE MSCI
EAFE, THOSE COMPANIES WITH THE HIGHEST PRICE/BOOK VALUE RATIO. THE MSCI EAFE
INDEX CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY 900 COMPANIES WITH AVERAGE MARKET CAPITALIZATION
OF U.S. $8.7 BILLION. ITS WEIGHTINGS REPRESENT THE RELATIVE CAPITALIZATION OF
THE MAJOR OVERSEAS MARKETS INCLUDED IN THE INDEX ON A U.S. DOLLAR ADJUSTED
BASIS. THE MSCI EAFE IS A GENERALLY ACCEPTED BENCHMARK FOR MAJOR OVERSEAS
MARKETS. IT CONSISTS OF THE TOP 50% OF THE MSCI EAFE, THOSE COMPANIES WITH THE
HIGHEST PRICE/BOOK VALUE (P/BV) RATIO. THE MSCI EAFE INDEX CONSISTS OF
APPROXIMATELY 900 COMPANIES WITH AVERAGE MARKET CAPITALIZATION OF U.S. $8.7
BILLION. ITS WEIGHTINGS REPRESENT THE RELATIVE CAPITALIZATION OF THE MAJOR
OVERSEAS MARKETS INCLUDED IN THE INDEX ON A U.S. DOLLAR ADJUSTED BASIS. THE
UNMANAGED INDEXES DIFFER FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DO NOT PAY MANAGEMENT
FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDE REINVESTED DIVIDENDS. ONE CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY
INTO AN INDEX.

SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP, INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE
WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS, CURRENCY VOLATILITY AND THE SOCIAL,
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CLIMATES OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE FUND INVESTS. YOU MAY
HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.

U.S. HIGH YIELD BOND FUND

CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER: HORACIO A. VALEIRAS, CFA

GOAL: The U.S. High Yield Bond Fund seeks to deliver total return via high
current income and capital growth from a diversified portfolio consisting
primarily of lower-rated U.S. corporate fixed-income securities.

MARKET OVERVIEW: Prices of high-yield securities climbed higher between April 1,
2006 and March 31, 2007. The Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index rose
11.61%, keeping pace with the 11.83% gain in the S&P 500 Index and outperforming
the 5.76% advance in the ten-year Treasury.

The strong performance of high-yield securities was a result of ongoing
confidence in the core fundamentals of issuers across the market. For example:

     -    Corporate balance sheets are healthy

     -    Refinancing over the past several years has generally created lower
          interest expense obligations and extended bond maturities

     -    With the last twelve months' default rate at 0.51%, the default rate
          remains low and is not expected to change in the future

All industries within the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index generated
positive returns. The best-performing industries were cable TV, entertainment
and automotive, while the worst performers were real estate, banks and leisure.
The pace of new issuance in the high-yield market was strong, driven by more
merger and acquisition financing and, specifically, leveraged buyout issuance.

PERFORMANCE: During the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, the Fund's Class I
shares gained 10.76% and the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index advanced
11.61%.

PORTFOLIO SPECIFICS: Many issues in the Fund made significant, positive
contributions to return. Top-performing holdings included the bonds of a
retailer whose operating statistics improved and those of a paper producer whose
merger with another company is expected to save costs and boost industry
pricing. However, the combination of low-quality issuer performance and the
contributions from Ford and GM weighed on relative performance.

During the period, the Fund was freshened with several new names in a broad
range of industries, including telecommunications, energy and chemicals.
Additions to the portfolio represented a mix of secondary market purchases and
new issues that passed our diligent credit research process. The Fund continued
to be rewarded for our credit research as the ratio of upgrades to downgrades in
the portfolio was positive throughout the fiscal year.

MARKET OUTLOOK: We think the high-yield market remains a compelling area of
investment. The economy is healthy, corporate balance sheets are solid and
defaults are low. While high-yield spreads versus Treasuries are on the narrow
end of historical averages, they should not widen materially against this
positive fundamental backdrop. One risk to the high-yield market would be a
significant pullback in the economy. However, the stock market's March rebound
demonstrates investor confidence in a positive economic outlook.

Nicholas-Applegate recognizes that the long-term driver of total return in a
high-yield portfolio is company fundamentals. As such, we continue to build the
Fund one security at a time, performing rigorous credit analysis to identify
companies that are capitalizing on change.

Annualized Total Returns As of 3/31/2007

THE GRAPHS ABOVE SHOW THE VALUE OF A HYPOTHETICAL $250,000 INVESTMENT IN THE
FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES COMPARED WITH THE MERRILL LYNCH HIGH YIELD MASTER
II INDEX FOR THE PERIODS INDICATED. THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES CALCULATE
THEIR PERFORMANCE BASED UPON THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE OF THEIR CORRESPONDING
SERIES OF NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE MUTUAL FUNDS (RENAMED ING MUTUAL FUNDS), ADJUSTED
TO REFLECT ALL FEES AND EXPENSES APPLICABLE TO THE FUND'S CLASS I AND II SHARES.
THE NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS' CLASS I SHARES WERE FIRST AVAILABLE
ON MAY 7, 1999 AND CLASS II SHARES ON JUNE 30, 2003. THE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
OF CLASS II SHARES INCLUDES THE PERFORMANCE OF CLASS I SHARES FOR PERIODS PRIOR
TO THE INCEPTION OF CLASS II. AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN FIGURES INCLUDE
CHANGES IN PRINCIPAL VALUE, REINVESTED DIVIDENDS, AND CAPITAL GAIN
DISTRIBUTIONS. THE TOTAL RETURNS SHOWN ABOVE DO NOT SHOW THE EFFECTS OF INCOME
TAXES ON AN INDIVIDUAL'S INVESTMENT. IN MOST CASES, TAXES MAY REDUCE YOUR ACTUAL
INVESTMENT RETURNS ON INCOME OR GAINS PAID BY THE FUND OR ANY GAINS YOU MAY
REALIZE IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES. PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE
RESULTS.

THE MERRILL LYNCH HIGH YIELD MASTER II INDEX IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX CONSISTING OF
U.S. DOLLAR DENOMINATED BONDS THAT ARE ISSUED IN COUNTRIES HAVING A BBB3 OR
HIGHER DEBT RATING WITH AT LEAST ONE YEAR REMAINING UNTIL MATURITY. ALL BONDS
MUST HAVE A CREDIT RATING BELOW INVESTMENT GRADE BUT NOT IN DEFAULT.

THE UNMANAGED INDEX DIFFERS FROM THE FUND IN COMPOSITION, DOES NOT PAY
MANAGEMENT FEES OR EXPENSES AND INCLUDES REINVESTED INCOME AND DIVIDENDS. ONE
CANNOT INVEST DIRECTLY IN AN INDEX.

BOND PRICES, AND THUS THE FUND'S SHARE PRICE, GENERALLY MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION FROM INTEREST RATES. SINCE MARKETS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP,
INVESTMENT RETURN AND PRINCIPAL VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE WITH MARKET CONDITIONS. YOU
MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR SHARES.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A -- ORGANIZATION

Nicholas-Applegate Institutional Funds (formerly Nicholas-Applegate Investment
Trust) (the "Trust") is an open-end investment management company. The Trust was
established as a Delaware business trust on December 17, 1992 and consists of
thirteen separate portfolios (collectively the "Funds" and each a "Fund"). Each
Fund's investment objectives, strategies and risks are discussed in the Funds'
current prospectuses. All of the Funds have issued Class I shares ("Class I"),
eleven Funds have issued Class II shares ("Class II"), two Funds have issued
Class III shares ("Class III"), two Funds have issued Class IV shares ("Class
IV") and four Funds have issued Retirement shares ("Class R"). No shares have a
sales charge. Class R has a distribution fee. The Funds offering Class I, Class
II, Class III and Class IV shares are covered in this report.

NOTE B -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in preparing
these financial statements are described below. The policies conform with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

SECURITY VALUATIONS

Equity securities, including ADRs and GDRs, that are traded on a stock exchange
or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last sale price as of
the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. New
York time) on the day the securities are being valued, or lacking any sales, at
the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Securities listed or traded
on certain non-U.S. exchanges whose operations are similar to the United States
over-the-counter market are valued at the price within the limits of the latest
available current bid and asked prices deemed by the Investment Adviser best to
reflect fair value. A security that is listed or traded on more than one
exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary
market for such security by the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser has
determined the Xetra is the primary market in Germany.

The Funds value long-term debt obligations, including high quality and high
yield corporate securities, municipal securities, asset-backed securities,
collateralized mortgage obligations and US Government and Agency issues, at the
quoted bid price provided by an approved bond pricing service. Convertible
securities are normally priced at the mean between the bids and ask prices.
Short-term debt instruments, (e.g., commercial paper, bankers acceptances, U.S.
Treasury Bills, etc.) having a maturity of less than 60 days will be valued at
amortized cost. If a fixed income security has a maturity of greater than 60
days, it will be valued at market price.

Securities or other assets for which reliable market quotations are not readily
available or for which the pricing agent or principal market maker does not
provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that,
in the judgment of the Investment Adviser does not represent fair value (Fair
Value Securities), are valued by the Pricing Committee overseen by the Board of
Trustees in consultation as applicable, with the Investment Adviser's portfolio
managers, traders, and research and credit analysts and legal and compliance
personnel. Fair Value Securities may include, but are not limited to, the
following: certain private placements and restricted securities that do not have
an active trading market; securities whose trading has been suspended or for
which there is no current market; securities whose prices are stale; securities
denominated in currencies that are restricted, untraded, or for which exchange
rates are disrupted; securities affected by significant events; and securities
that the Investment Adviser or Pricing Committee believe were priced
incorrectly. A "significant event" (which includes, but is not limited to, an
extraordinarily political or market event) is an event that the Investment
Adviser or Pricing Committee believes with a reasonably high degree of certainty
has caused the closing market prices of a Fund's portfolio securities to no
longer reflect their value at the time of the Fund's NAV calculation.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and
losses from security transactions are determined on an identified-cost basis.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain non-U.S.
securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds. Interest income
is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are
accreted and amortized on the yield to maturity basis.

NON-U.S. CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

At each net asset valuation date, the value of assets and liabilities
denominated in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the
current exchange rate at the spot rate at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time against the
U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service. Security transactions,
income and expenses are converted at the prevailing exchange rate on the day of
the event. The effect of changes in exchange rates on securities denominated in
a non-U.S. currency is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss of the associated security. Other Non-U.S. currency gains or losses are
reported separately.

Certain Funds may use forward non-U.S. currency contracts to reduce their
exposure to currency fluctuations of their non-U.S. securities. These contracts
are commitments to purchase or sell a non-U.S. currency at a specified rate on a
future date. 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 of investments. The contract commitment is fully collateralized by
cash or securities of the Fund. Non-U.S. denominated assets and forward currency
contracts may involve more risks than U.S. transactions, including currency
risk, political and economic risk, regulatory and market risk. Evaluating and
monitoring such risk exposure is a part of the Funds' management strategy. There
were no such forward non-U.S. currency contracts at March 31, 2007.


                                       72

<Page>

FUTURES CONTRACTS

Each Fund may enter into futures contracts involving non-U.S. 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 non-U.S. 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 margin 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 such futures contracts at
March 31, 2007.

OPTIONS CONTRACTS

The Funds may: (a) buy call options on non-U.S. currency in anticipation of an
increase in the value of the underlying asset; (b) buy put options on non-U.S.
currency, portfolio securities, and futures in anticipation of a decrease in the
value of the underlying asset; and (c) write call options on portfolio
securities and futures to generate income from premiums, and in anticipation of
a decrease or only limited increase in the value of the underlying asset. If a
call written by a Fund is exercised, the Fund foregoes any possible profit from
an increase in the market price of the underlying asset over the exercise price
plus the premium received. When a Fund writes options on futures contracts, it
will be subject to margin requirements similar to those applied to futures
contracts.

EQUITY-LINKED SECURITIES

Certain Funds may purchase equity-linked securities, also known as participation
notes, equity swaps, and zero strike calls and warrants. Equity-linked
securities are primarily used by a Fund as an alternative means to more
efficiently and effectively access the securities market of what is generally an
emerging country. The Fund deposits an amount of cash with its custodian (or
broker, if legally permitted) in an amount near or equal to the selling price of
the underlying security in exchange for an equity linked security. Upon sale,
the Fund receives cash from the broker or custodian equal to the value of the
underlying security. Aside from market risk of the underlying securities, there
is a risk of default by the other party to the transaction. In the event of
insolvency of the other party, the Fund might be unable to obtain its expected
benefit. In addition, while a Fund will seek to enter into such transactions
only with parties which are capable of entering into closing transactions with
the Fund, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to close out such
a transaction with the other party or obtain an offsetting position with any
other party, at any time prior to the end of the term of the underlying
agreement. This may impair the Fund's ability to enter into other transactions
at a time when doing so might be advantageous.

SECURITIES LENDING

In order to generate expense offset credits, each of the Funds may lend
portfolio securities, on a short-term or a long-term basis, up to 30% of a
Fund's total assets to broker/dealers, banks, or other institutional borrowers
of securities. A Fund will only enter into loan arrangements with
broker/dealers, banks, or other institutions which the Investment Adviser has
determined are creditworthy and under the guidelines established by the Board of
Trustees and will receive collateral in the form of cash or U.S. government
securities equal to at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned on U.S.
securities and 105% on non-U.S. securities.

There is the risk that when lending portfolio securities, the securities may not
be available to the Fund on a timely basis and the Fund may, therefore, loose
the opportunity to sell securities at a desirable price. In addition, in the
event that a borrower of securities would file for bankruptcy or become
insolvent, disposition of the securities may be delayed pending court action.
The market value of securities on loan and the related collateral at the period
ended March 31, 2007 were:

CREDIT FACILITY

The Trust has a $15 million credit facility available to fund temporary or
emergency borrowing expiring in March 2008. Each Fund pays its pro-rata share of
an annual commitment fee plus interest on its specific borrowings. For the
period ended March 31, 2007, the Funds did not borrow against the line of
credit.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and
agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which
provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these
arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made
against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the
Funds expect the risks of loss to be remote.

FUND EXPENSES AND MULTI-CLASS ALLOCATIONS

Each Fund bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf plus an allocation
of its share of Trust level expenses. Each share offered by a Fund has equal
rights to assets but incurs certain Class specific expenses. The Funds allocate
income, gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, and expenses, except for
Class specific expenses, based on the relative net assets of each share class.

Many of the brokers with whom the Investment Adviser places trades on behalf of
the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These
services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund. In
addition, through arrangements with the Funds custodian, credits realized as a
result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Funds expenses.
During the period, the credits used to reduce the Funds expenses were:

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all
of their taxable income to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal
income taxes is required. A Fund investing in foreign securities records any
foreign taxes on income and gains on such investments in accordance with the
applicable tax rules. The Funds' tax accounting treatment of loss deferrals,
accretion, passive foreign investment companies and expiration of capital loss
carryforwards are different from the financial statement recognition of income
and gains.

Capital loss carryforwards may be used to offset current or future capital gains
until expiration.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Funds record distributions to shareholders on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the Funds'
capital accounts are periodically reclassified to reflect income and gains
available for distribution under income tax regulations. The Funds make income
and capital gain distributions at least annually. Funds with income objectives
make distributions either quarterly or monthly in accordance with the
prospectuses.

NOTE D -- TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE

Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC ("NACM") serves as Adviser (the
"Adviser") to the Trust. The Adviser receives a monthly fee at an annual rate
based on the average daily net assets of the Funds. The investment Advisory Fee
rates for each of the Funds are listed in the table below.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES FEE

On January 24, 2006, the Funds entered into a new Administration Agreement
whereby the Funds pay for the administrative services they require under what is
essentially an all-in fee structure. Class I, II, III & IV shareholders of the
Funds pay an administrative fee to the Investment Adviser computed as a
percentage of the Funds' average net assets attributable in the aggregate to
Class I, II, III & IV shares, the Investment Adviser, in turn, provides or
procures administrative and shareholder services for Class I, II, III & IV
shareholders and also bears the costs of most third-party administrative
services required by the Funds, including audit, custodial, portfolio
accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs. The administrative fees
paid to the Investment Adviser may exceed the related costs. Generally, this may
not be the case for relatively small funds. The High Yield Bond Fund received a
one time credit of $70,911 for accrual adjustments in the fund administration
expense due to the adoption of the unitized administration fee.

The investment advisory and administrative services fees were charged at the
following rates from April 1, 2006 to September 27, 2006:

</Table>

Gains and losses resulting from the subscriptions-in-kind and
redemptions-in-kind are included in the realized gain/loss from securities and
non-U.S. currency transactions. During the year ended March 31, 2007, the U.S.
Convertible, Emerging Markets and U.S. High Yield Bond Funds had
subscriptions-in-kind valued at $93,195,957, $37,739,965 and $8,812,639,
respectively. The U.S. Systematic Mid Cap Growth and International Systematic
Funds had redemptions-in-kind valued at $22,285,855 and $14,473,124,
respectively.

NOTE F -- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Funds may be party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks,
including forward non-U.S. currency contracts, primarily in an attempt to
minimize the risk to the Fund, in respect of its portfolio transactions. These
instruments involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized
in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from
unexpected movement in currencies, securities values and interest rates. The
contract amounts indicate the extent of the Funds' involvement in such
contracts. For the year ended March 31, 2007 the Funds were not party to any
such agreements.

NOTE G -- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has recently issued
Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109) the "Interpretation"), which applies
to all registered investment companies and clarifies the accounting for
uncertain tax positions. The Interpretation is effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has
not yet completed their analysis of the Interpretation, and is not currently in
a position to estimate the significance, if any, that the impact of adoption
will have on the financial statements.

On December 22, 2006, the SEC indicated they had no objection if a fund
implemented FIN 48 in the first required financial statement reporting period
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.

In addition, in September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), was issued and is effective for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any,
the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on the Fund's financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Nicholas-Applegate Institutional Funds

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios comprising
the Nicholas-Applegate Institutional Funds (collectively, the "Funds") at March
31, 2007, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended,
the changes in each of their net assets for the two years in the period then
ended and each of their financial highlights for the five years in the period
then ended (for the Nicholas-Applegate International All-Cap Growth Fund, for
the two years in the period ended March 31, 2007), in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' 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 the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards 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 owned at March 31, 2007 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion. The financial highlights of the Nicholas-Applegate International
All-Cap Growth Fund for the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005 were
audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report
dated April 22, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE -- (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs,
including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and
other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your
ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs
with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007).

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line of the table below for each fund provides information about
actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this
line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you
paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example,
an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by
the number in the first line for a fund under the heading "Expenses Paid During
Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line of the table below for each fund provides information about
hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual
expense ratio and an assumed rate of return if 5% per year before expenses,
which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and
expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or
expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the
ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this
5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the
second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not
help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In
addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been
higher.

TRUSTEE APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Based upon the recommendation of the Contract Committee of the Board of
Trustees, a Committee comprised of all of the Independent Trustees of the Trust
("Funds"), the Trustees unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment
Advisory Agreement between the Funds and Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management
("Nicholas-Applegate") at a meeting held November 10, 2006. In approving the
Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees, through its Contract
Committee, evaluated a comprehensive package of materials, including performance
and expense data for other funds with similar asset sizes, investment objectives
and policies provided by Morningstar Inc. Prior to making its recommendation,
the Contract Committee reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment
Advisory Agreement with representatives of Nicholas-Applegate and with
independent legal counsel to the independent Trustees of the Trust. Members of
the Contract Committee also met privately with independent legal counsel to
discuss the factors they felt were relevant. The factors included: (1)
comparative performance data for each of the Funds and other funds with similar
investment objectives/policies and to a relevant index; (2) the nature, extent
and quality of investment advisory services rendered by Nicholas-Applegate; (3)
marketing and sales efforts dedicated to the Funds; (4) compensation paid to
Nicholas-Applegate; (5) costs borne by Nicholas-Applegate; (6) comparative fee
and expense data for each of the Funds and other funds with similar investment
objectives/policies; (7) Nicholas-Applegate's policies and practices regarding
allocation of portfolio transactions, best price and execution of portfolio
transactions, and soft dollar arrangements; (8) expense off-set arrangements;
(9) portfolio turnover rates; (10) fall-out benefits, such as research received
pursuant to Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (11) fees that
Nicholas-Applegate charges its other clients with similar investment
objectives/policies; and (12) experience and qualifications of each of the
members of the portfolio management teams.

The Contract Committee also considered their confidence in Nicholas-Applegate's
integrity and competence, and Nicholas-Applegate's responsiveness to questions
and issues raised by the Trustees, including its willingness to consider and
implement changes designed to improve investment and operational results. In
their deliberations, the Contract Committee did not identify any particular
information that was controlling, and each member of the Contract Committee
attributed different weights to the various factors. The Contract Committee
determined that the fees of the Investment Advisory Agreement between each of
the Funds and Nicholas-Applegate were fair and reasonable in light of the
services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Contract
Committee considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. The
Contract Committee also separately discussed the material factors and
conclusions that formed the basis for the Contract Committee to recommend to the
Board of Trustees to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for each of the
Funds.

SERVICES PROVIDED BY NICHOLAS-APPLEGATE

The Contract Committee noted that Nicholas-Applegate manages the portfolios of
each of the Funds under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
Nicholas-Applegate manages each Fund consistent with each Fund's investment
objectives and policies. Nicholas-Applegate provides each Fund with office space
and such other services and personnel as are necessary for its operations. The
Contract Committee considered the scope and quality of services provided by
Nicholas-Applegate under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Contract
Committee considered the quality of the investment research capabilities of
Nicholas-Applegate and the other services to be provided to the Funds by
Nicholas-Applegate, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio
transactions, serving as the Funds' administrator, monitoring adherence to the
Funds' investment restrictions, producing shareholder reports, providing support
services for the Trustees and Board Committees and overseeing the activities of
other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various Fund
policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. The
Contract Committee concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services
provided by Nicholas-Applegate to the Funds were appropriate and consistent with
the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and that the Funds' will continue
to benefit from services provided under the Investment Advisory Agreement with
Nicholas-Applegate.

COST OF SERVICES & FUND EXPENSES

The Contract Committee examined the fee information and expenses for each of the
Funds in comparison to information from other comparable funds as provided by
Morningstar, Inc. The Contract Committee agreed that overall the Funds'
management fees and expense ratios were reasonable in relation to the management
fees and expense ratios of the Funds' peer groups selected by Morningstar. The
Contract Committee also reviewed Nicholas-Applegate's management fees charged to
its institutional separate account clients and for sub-advised funds (funds for
which the Nicholas-Applegate provides portfolio management services only). In
most instances sub-advisory and institutional separate account fees are lower
than the Funds' management fee. However, the Contract Committee noted that
Nicholas-Applegate performs significant additional services to the Funds that it
does not provide to those other clients, including administrative services,
oversight of the Funds' other service providers, trustee support, regulatory


                                       85

<Page>

compliance and numerous other services that Nicholas-Applegate provides to the
Funds. The Contract Committee reviewed the profitability analysis for each Fund
and discussed the methodology used by Nicholas-Applegate to assess
profitability. They noted that only 4 of the Funds were profitable and found the
level of profitability was fair and reasonable as compared to similar separate
accounts and sub-advised funds managed by Nicholas-Applegate.

The Contract Committee concluded that the management fees and other compensation
to be paid by the Funds to Nicholas-Applegate were reasonable in relation to the
nature and quality of the services to be provided, taking into account (1) the
fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar
strategies; (2) the fees that Nicholas-Applegate charges to other clients; (3)
the estimated overall expense ratio of the Funds, taking into account the Funds'
expense offset arrangements with its brokers, custodian and third party services
providers. The Committee concluded that compensation paid to Nicholas-Applegate
was comparable to or more favorable than the mean or median expense ratios of
their peers.

INVESTMENT RESULTS

The Contract Committee considered the investment results of each of the Funds as
compared to funds with similar investment objectives and policies as determined
by Morningstar and with relevant securities indices. In addition to the
information received by the Contract Committee for their meeting,
Nicholas-Applegate provided detailed performance information for each Fund at
each regular meeting of the Board of Trustees. The Contract Committee reviewed
information showing absolute and relative performance of each Fund over 1-year,
3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods as applicable.

US MICRO CAP FUND. The Contract Committee reviewed the information reporting
performance of the US Micro Cap Growth Fund compared to its peer group and the
Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell Micro Cap Growth Index. The
comparative information showed the Fund had performed strongly against its peers
and outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year
periods. The Committee noted the Fund's slight under performance relative to the
new Russell Micro Cap Growth Index for the 1-year period since the Index's
inception on June 25, 2005. The Committee concluded that the Fund based on their
review had performed very well relative to its peers and benchmarks.

US EMERGING GROWTH FUND. The Contract Committee reviewed information showing
performance of the Fund compared to its peer group and the Russell 2000 Growth
Index. The comparative information showed the Fund was at the top quartile of
its peer group and had outperformed the Index for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year
periods. The Contract Committee concluded that the Fund's relative performance
over time had been very good.

US SMALL CAP VALUE FUND. The Contract Committee reviewed information showing
performance of the Fund compared to its peer group and the Russell 2000 Value
Index. The comparative information showed the Fund had out performed its peers
but underperformed the Index in the 1-year period, The Fund out performed the
index and was the top preforming fund relative to its peers for both the 3-year
and 5-year periods. Based on their review, the Contract Committee concluded the
Fund's relative performance over time had been very good.

US SYSTEMATIC LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND. The Contract Committee reviewed information
showing performance of the Fund compared to its peer group and the Russell 1000
Growth Index. The comparative information showed the Fund had outperformed its
peer group and the Index over the 1-year period and underperformed its peer
group and Index for the 3-year and 5-year periods. In early 2004,
Nicholas-Applegate changed portfolio management teams from one focusing on a
traditional fundamental approach to one that followed a quantitative focus that
relies on analytical investment models prepared by Nicholas-Applegate's
systematic investment team. Since that time, the Fund has outperformed its peers
and the Index. The Contract Committee considered Nicholas-Applegate's change in
the Fund's portfolio management team and the improvement in the Fund's
performance following the change. Based on their review, the Contract Committee
concluded that changes made by Nicholas-Applegate have had a positive effect on
performance.

US SYSTEMATIC MID CAP GROWTH FUND. The Fund has been in operations for only one
year so there was little performance information for the Contract Committee to
evaluate. However, the Contract Committee reviewed comparative expense ratio
information. The comparative information showed that the Fund had a lower
investment advisory fee than its peers but had higher overall net expenses. The
Contract Committee considered the Funds average assets of approximately $4.5
million compared to the peer group average of approximately $17 million. Based
on their review, the Contract Committee concluded that, although the Fund's net
expense ratio exceeded the peer group average, expenses would decrease to more
favorable levels as assets increased.

US CONVERTIBLE FUND. The Contract Committee reviewed information showing
performance of the Fund compared to its peer group and the Merrill Lynch
Convertibles Bonds All Qualities Index. The comparative information showed that
the Fund had outperformed its peer group and the Index for the 1-year, 3-year
and 10-year periods yet underperformed both the Index and its peers in the
5-year period. Based on this review, the Contract Committee concluded the Fund's
relative investment performance over time was good.

GLOBAL SELECT FUND. The Contract Committee reviewed information showing
performance of the Fund compared to its peer group and the MSCI World Index. The
comparative information showed the Fund had under performed relative to the
Index for the 1-year period with above median peer performance and outperformed
both its peers and the Index for the 3-year and 5-year periods. Based on this
review, the Contract Committee concluded the Fund's relative investment
performance over time had been very good.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND. The Contract Committee reviewed information showing
performance of the Fund


                                       86

<Page>

compared to its peer group and the MSCI EAFE Index. The comparative information
showed the Fund had outperformed the peer group median for the 1-year and 3-year
period yet underperformed the Index in the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods.
The Contract Committee considered the changes in the Fund's portfolio management
team and ongoing enhancement to its investment process. Based on their review,
the Contract Committee concluded that, although the Fund's relative investment
performance over time had compared unfavorably to the Index, Nicholas-Applegate
was addressing the Committee's concerns about investment performance and
retained confidence in Nicholas-Applegate's overall capabilities to manage the
Fund.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND. The Contract Committed reviewed
information showing performance of the Fund compared to its peer group and the
MSCI EAFE Index. The comparative information showed that the Fund had
outperformed the index in the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods and
with the exception of the 3-year period, outperformed its peer group median.
Based on their review, the Contract Committee concluded that the Fund's
performance is strong.

EMERGING MARKETS FUND. The Fund has been in operation for less than 1-year and
therefore no long term performance comparisons were available for the Contract
Committee to review. The Fund compares its performance to the MSCI EM Index and
the MSCI EM Growth Index. For the period from inception on August 18, 2006, the
Fund narrowly outperformed the MSCI EM index and underperformed relative to the
MSCI EM Growth Index. The Committee reviewed the expense ratios of the Fund and
based on their review, the Contract Committee concluded that the Fund was well
positioned for growth.

INTERNATIONAL SYSTEMATIC FUND. The Fund has been in operations for only a year
and accordingly there was little performance information for the Committee to
evaluate. The Fund's 1-year performance was compared to the MSCI EAFE Index, the
MSCI EAFE Growth Index and to its peers. The Fund outperformed both Indexes and
peers during the 1-year period. The Committee then reviewed comparative expense
ratio information which showed that the Fund had lower Advisory fee and lower
net expenses than its peers. The Contract Committee considered the Funds average
assets of approximately $2.9 million compared to the peer group average of
approximately $12.3 million. Based on their review, the Contract Committee
concluded that the Fund was performing very well.

INTERNATIONAL ALL CAP GROWTH FUND. The Contract Committed reviewed information
showing performance of the Fund compared to its peer group and the MSCI EAFE
Growth Index. The comparative information showed that the Fund had outperformed
both its peers and the Index in the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods. Based on
their review, the Contract Committee concluded that the Fund's performance is
strong.

US HIGH YIELD BOND FUND. The Contract Committee reviewed information showing
performance of the Fund compared to its peer group and the CSFB High Yield, the
Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II and the Merrill Lynch High Yield BB-B Rated
Indexes. The comparative information showed that the Fund had outperformed its
peer group median in the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. The Fund
underperformed relative to the Credit Suisse High Yield Index and Merrill Lynch
High Yield Master II Index in all periods. The Contract Committee considered the
Fund's relative performance periods had been adversely affected by
Nicholas-Applegate's decision to avoid the risk of investing in distressed and
lower rated high yield bonds (CCC or below). Based on their review, the Contact
Committee retained confidence in Nicholas-Applegate's overall capabilities to
manage the Fund.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER EXPENSES

The Contract Committee considered the investment advisory fee paid by each Fund.
The Contract Committee recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of
investment advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are
included in the fees paid by other funds. The Contract Committee also considered
the fees that Nicholas-Applegate charges other clients with similar investment
objectives/policies. Nicholas-Applegate acts as sub-adviser to several open-end
and closed-end registered investment companies, non-US investment companies, and
investment adviser for separately managed institutional investor accounts. For
funds where Nicholas-Applegate acts as sub-adviser, the Investment advisory fee
is generally lower. For separately managed accounts where Nicholas- Applegate
acts as investment adviser, the investment advisory fee is comparable and in
some cases higher. Representatives of Nicholas-Applegate reviewed with the
Contract Committee the significant differences in the scope of services provided
and financial commitments and risks involved in managing the various types of
accounts. The Contract Committee also considered the total expense ratio for
each Fund in comparison to their respective peers. (Expenses for US Systematic
Mid Cap Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and International Systematic Fund are
discussed in the section above).

US MICRO CAP FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net assets, on
average, of $103 million compared with $78 million for the Fund. The information
showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee was lower than the peer group
median, its gross expenses were higher, and its net expenses were equal to its
peer group median. The Contract Committee concluded that the Fund's expense
ratio was acceptable in light of the quality of services offered and other
factors considered.

US EMERGING GROWTH FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net assets, on
average, of $30 million compared with $12 million for the Fund. The information
showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee was lower than the peer group
median, gross expense ratio equal to the peer group median, and net expense
ratio slightly higher than the peer group median. The Contract Committee
concluded that the Fund's expense ratio was acceptable in light of quality of
services and other factors considered.


                                       87

<Page>

US SMALL CAP VALUE FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net assets, on
average, of $114 million compared to $127 million for the Fund. The information
showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee and net expense ratio was lower
than the peer group median and its gross expense ratio was slightly higher than
its peer group median. The Contract Committee concluded that the Fund's expense
ratio was acceptable in light of the quality of services offered and other
factors considered.

US SYSTEMATIC LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net
assets, on average, of $23 million compared with $6 million for the Fund. The
information showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee was lower than the
peer group median and that gross expenses and net expenses were above the peer
group median. Nicholas-Applegate reported that the Fund's expense ratio was
higher than the peer group given its smaller asset size. The Contract Committee
concluded that the Fund's expense ratio was acceptable in light of the quality
of services and other factors considered.

US CONVERTIBLE FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net assets, on
average, of $140 million compared with $34 million for the Fund. The information
showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee was well below the peer group
average and its net expenses were equal to the peer group median.
Nicholas-Applegate reported that gross expenses were higher due to the fund's
relatively small asset size compared to its peers. The Contract Committee
concluded that the Fund's expense ratio was acceptable in light of the quality
of services and other factors considered.

GLOBAL SELECT FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net assets, on
average, of $239 million compared with $320 million for the Fund. The
information showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee and net expense ratio
was lower than its peer group median and average. The Contract Committee
concluded that the Fund's expense ratio was acceptable in light of the quality
of services and other factors considered.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net assets, on
average, of $70 million compared to $37 million for the Fund. The information
showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee was lower than the peer group
median. The Funds net expense ratio was 23 basis points less than the median and
its gross expense ratio was 12 basis points above the median. The Contract
Committee concluded that the Fund's expense ratio was acceptable in light of the
quality of services offered and other factors considered.

INTERNATIONAL ALL CAP GROWTH FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net
assets, on average, of $79 million compared to $30 million for the Fund. The
information showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee was in line with the
peer group median and its net and grows expense ratios were higher than category
median yet in the lowest quintile with its peers. The Contract Committee
concluded that the Fund's expense ratio was acceptable in light of the quality
of services and other factors considered.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with
net assets, on average, of $158 million compared to $100 million for the Fund.
The information showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee was well below
the peer group median and its net and gross expense ratio was lower than the
peer group median. The Contract Committee concluded that the Fund's expense
ratio was acceptable in light of the quality of services offered and other
factors considered.

HIGH YIELD BOND FUND. The peer group consisted of funds with net assets, on
average, of $174 million compared with $145 million for the Fund. The
information showed that the Fund's investment advisory fee as lower than the
peer group median as well as its net expense ratios. The Fund's gross expense
ratios was in line with the peer group median. The Contract Committee concluded
that the Fund's expense ratio was acceptable in light of the quality of services
and other factors considered.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Contract Committee noted that the investment advisory fee schedules for the
Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above
specified levels. However, the Contract Committee did note that overall fees
paid to Nicholas-Applegate (investment advisory, administration, and shareholder
service) contain the functional equivalent of breakpoints through four to five
different share classes that reduce the fees paid to Nicholas-Applegate based on
the asset level of the account. The Contract Committee recognized that the
existing fee structure is consistent with the institutional nature of the Funds
and of Nicholas-Applegate's business, which focuses on large institutional
investors (e.g., pension plans, endowments and public funds). Having taken these
factors into consideration, the Contract Committee concluded that the Funds'
current multiple share class fee structure establishes a reasonable basis for
realizing economies of scale for the Funds which may exist when assets increase.
At current asset levels, the Contract Committee also noted that the most of the
Funds have not realized optimal economies of scale in respect to other expenses.
