Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds Letter to Shareholders

April 16, 2008

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the annual reports of the Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund and Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II (collectively, the “Funds”) for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008.

The convertible market finished the reporting period with relatively flat returns, falling 0.58%, as measured by the Merrill Lynch All-Convertible Index. The convertible market outperformed the S&P 500 Index, which returned (3.59)% for the period. It trailed the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which advanced 2.23%.

During February 2008, industry-wide developments in the auction-rate preferred markets caused auctions for the Funds’ auction-rate preferred shares (“ARPS”) to fail, as described in Note 5 in the accompanying notes to Financial Statements. At the time this report is being prepared, it is not possible to predict how and when full or partial liquidity will return, if at all, to the closed-end fund ARPS market. Additional information regarding ARPS, failed auctions and potential solutions to address the unprecedented lack of liquidity of the ARPS due to recent failed auctions can be accessed on the Fund’s website http://www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds.

Please refer to the following pages for more information on the Funds. If you have any questions regarding the information provided, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor or call the Funds’ shareholder servicing agent at (800) 331-1710. You will also find a wide range of information and resources on our Web site, www.allianzinvestors.com/closedendfunds.

Together with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, the Funds’ investment manager, and Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC, the Funds’ sub-adviser, we thank you for investing with us.

We remain dedicated to serving your investment needs.

Sincerely,

Hans W. Kertess	Brian S. Shlissel
Chairman	President & Chief Executive Officer

Fund Insights

February 29, 2008 (unaudited)

• For the 12-months ended February 29, 2008, Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund returned (6.33)% on net asset value and (13.63)% on market price.

• For the 12-months ended February 29, 2008, Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income II Fund returned (7.13)% on net asset value and (12.08)% on market price.

• The convertible and high yield markets followed the broad equity market lower in the period as there were no significant catalysts to drive the market higher. Slowing corporate profits, widening credit spreads, recession fears, high oil prices, and continued negative subprime news were responsible for the broad equity market pull-back.

• Industry performance was mixed and driven by broad market themes. Financial issuer underperformance was clearly the most severe of any industry in the broad markets. The consumer sector also performed poorly. The best performing industries during the twelve month period were healthcare, utilities and energy. These sectors performed well because of favorable operating performance as well as an expected flight to quality.

• The Funds’ convertible positions were helped by many industries during the period. Healthcare companies rallied in response to better-than-expected corporate profits and positive outlooks. Consumer staple companies benefited from record commodity prices as well as an investor rotation into more defensive industries. Material companies were higher on impressive quarterly results despite a slowing economy.

• Select sectors within the Funds’ the convertible portfolio’s hindered performance in the period. Despite positive performance for the year, select technology issuers pulled back during the period on fears of slowing earnings growth. Automotive companies moved lower on concerns that weaker-than-expected consumer spending would cause auto sales to fall below expectations in 2008. Retail companies continued their move lower as the challenging economic backdrop weighed on consumer spending.

• Remarkably, with all of the financial chaos and headlines, the fundamentals of the majority of issuers in the high yield market remained intact. The default rate for 2007 was a record setting low.

• Throughout the continued volatility, relative high yield performance was driven by stringent credit selection. We continued to have bonds tendered for as well as companies, demonstrated improving fundamentals, upgraded.

• There were negative high yield contributors during the period. In the auto industry bonds, traded lower across the board. Other negative movers included certain retail-related issuers.

Moody’s Ratings (as a % of total investments)

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by subtracting the value of an investment in the Fund at the beginning of each specified period from the value at the end of the period and dividing the remainder by the value of the investment at the beginning of the period and expressing the result as a percentage. The calculation assumes that all of the Fund’s income dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.

Returns are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value or market share price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. The Fund’s performance at market price will differ from its results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods; returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Fund, market conditions, supply and demand for the Fund’s shares or changes in Fund distributions.

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, price, market yield and market net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is typically a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Net asset value is equal to the total assets applicable to common shareholders less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.

(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend to common shareholders by the market price per common share at February 29, 2008.

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds 
February 29, 2008 Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund (“Convertible & Income”) and Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II (“Convertible & Income II”), collectively referred to as the “Funds”, were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on January 17, 2003 and April 22, 2003, respectively. In December 2005, Convertible & Income II changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to February 28. Prior to commencing operations on March 31, 2003, and July 31, 2003, respectively, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”) serves as the Funds’ Investment manager and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. (“Allianz Global”). Allianz Global is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. The Funds have an unlimited amount of $0.00001 par value common stock authorized.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and high current income. The Funds attempt to achieve this objective by investing in a portfolio of convertible securities and non-convertible income-producing securities.

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

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet been asserted. However, the Funds expect the risk of any loss to be remote.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. Fund management has determined that its evaluation of the Interpretation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds’ financial statements at February 29, 2008. Each of the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157, Fair Value Measurements, which clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. Adoption of SFAS 157 requires the use of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, the Funds are in the process of reviewing the SFAS 157 against their current valuation policies to determine future applicability.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about Funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

(a) Valuation of Investments

Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their discretion pursuant to guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds’ investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds

characteristics. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. Each Fund’s net asset value is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on each day the NYSE is open for business.

(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on corporate bonds and notes purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Payments received from certain investments may be comprised of dividends, realized gains and return of capital upon receipt of information from the issuer. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

(c) Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.

(d) Dividends and Distributions—Common Stock

The Funds declare dividends from net investment income monthly to common shareholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These “book-tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions of paid-in capital in excess of par.

(e) Credit-Linked Trust Certificates

Credit-linked trust certificates are investments in a limited purpose trust or other vehicle formed under state law which, in turn, invests in a basket of derivative instruments, such as credit default swaps, interest rate swaps and other securities, in order to provide exposure to the high yield or another fixed income market.

Similar to an investment in a bond, investments in these credit-linked trust certificates represent the right to receive periodic income payments (in the form of distributions) and payment of principal at the end of the term of the certificate. However, these payments are conditioned on the trusts’ receipt of payments from, and the trusts’ potential obligations to, the counterparties to the derivative instruments and other securities in which the trusts invest.

(f) Interest Rate Caps

In an interest rate cap, one party pays a fee while the other party pays the excess, if any, of a floating rate over a specified fixed rate. Interest rate caps are intended to manage the Funds’ exposure to changes in short-term interest rates and hedge the Auction Preferred Shares. Owning interest rate caps reduces the Funds’ duration, making them less sensitive to changes in interest rates from a market value perspective. The effect on distributions involves protection from rising short-term rates, which the Funds experience primarily in the form of leverage. The Funds are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the interest rate cap. Premiums paid by the Funds are recognized as an asset and amortized into realized loss over the life of the interest rate cap. Changes in the value of the interest rate caps are recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Periodic payments received during periods the floating rate exceeds the specific fixed rate are recognized into realized gain.

(g) Concentration of Risk

It is the Funds’ policy to invest a significant portion of their assets in convertible securities. Although convertible securities do derive part of their value from that of the securities into which they are convertible, they are not considered derivative financial instruments. However, certain of the Funds’ investments include features which render them more sensitive to price changes in their underlying securities. Consequently, this exposes the Funds to greater downside risk than traditional convertible securities, but still less than that of the underlying common stock.

February 29, 2008 Notes to Financial Statements

2. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser

The Funds have entered into Investment Management Agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds’ investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Funds pay the Investment Manager an annual fee, payable on a monthly basis, at the annual rate of 0.70% of the Funds’ average daily total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to the total assets of each Fund (including assets attributable to any Preferred Shares and borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings).

The Investment Manager has retained its affiliate, Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), to manage the Funds’ investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds’ investment decisions. For its services pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Investment Manager, and not the Funds, pay the Sub-Adviser an annual fee payable on a monthly basis.

4. Income Tax Information
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid were:
Convertible & Income:
	Year ended February 29, 2008			Year ended February 28, 2007
Ordinary Income		$	134,533,804		$	129,212,623
Long-Term Capital Gains		$	—		$	15,393,964

At February 29, 2008, the Fund had no distributable earnings.

In accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations, Convertible & Income elected to defer net realized capital losses of $21,404,788, arising after October 31, 2007. Such losses are treated as rising on March 1, 2008.

For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, permanent differences are primarily attributable to the differing treatment of premium amortization, convertible preferred securities, consent payments, interest rate cap premium amortization and periodic payments. These adjustments were to decrease dividends in excess of net investment income and to increase accumulated realized loss by $11,175,308.

The cost basis of portfolio securities for federal income tax purposes is $1,488,598,266. Aggregated gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an excess value over tax cost is $55,527,035; aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value is $139,465,842; net unrealized depreciation for federal income tax purposes is $(83,938,807). The difference between book and the tax basis unrealized is attributable to wash sales, amortization of premium and the differing treatment of convertible preferred securities.

At February 29, 2008, Convertible & Income had a capital loss carryforward of $12,792,155, $(1,830,527 of which will expire in 2015, and $10,961,628 of which will expire in 2016) available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized capital gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be distributed.

At February 29, 2008, the Fund had no distributable earnings.

In accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations, Convertible & Income II elected to defer net realized capital losses of $17,089,344, arising after October 31, 2007. Such losses are treated as rising on March 1, 2008.

For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, permanent differences are primarily attributable to the differing treatment of premium amortization, convertible preferred securities, consent payments, an interest rate cap premium amortization and periodic payments. These adjustments were to decrease dividends in excess of net investment income and to increase accumulated net realized loss of $9,922,573.

The cost basis of portfolio securities for federal income tax purposes is $1,303,619,100. Aggregated gross unrealized appreciation for securities in which there is an excess value over tax cost is $48,953,602; aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for securities in which there is an excess of tax cost over value is $126,604,198; net unrealized depreciation for federal income tax purposes is $(77,650,596). The difference between book and the tax basis unrealized is attributable to wash sales, amortization of premium and the differing treatment of convertible preferred securities.

At February 29, 2008, Convertible & Income II had a capital loss carryforward of $13,089,843 $(1,751,653 of which will expire in 2015, and $11,338,190 of which will expire in 2016) available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized capital gains. To the extent that these losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, such gains will not be distributed.

5. Auction Preferred Shares

Convertible & Income has issued 4,200 shares of Preferred Shares Series A, 4,200 shares of Preferred Shares Series B, 4,200 shares of Preferred Shares Series C, 4,200 shares of Preferred Shares Series D, and 4,200 shares of Preferred Shares Series E each with a liquidation preference value of $25,000 per share plus accrued dividends.

Convertible & Income II has issued 4,040 shares of Preferred Shares Series A, 4,040 shares of Preferred Shares Series B, 4,040 shares of Preferred Shares Series C, 4,040 shares of Preferred Shares Series D, and 4,040 shares of Preferred Shares Series E each with a liquidation preference value of $25,000 per share plus accrued dividends.

Dividends are accumulated daily at an annual rate (typically re-set every seven days) through auction procedures. Distributions of net realized long-term gains, if any, are paid annually.

Convertible & Income:

For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, the annualized dividend rate ranged from:

	High	Low	At February 29, 2008
Series A	6.50%	4.30%	4.338%
Series B	7.75%	4.20%	4.368%
Series C	6.35%	4.278%	4.368%
Series D	6.75%	4.20%	4.368%
Series E	7.00%	4.20%	4.473%

5. Auction Preferred Shares (continued)

Convertible & Income II:

For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, the annualized dividend rate ranged from:

	High	Low	At February 29, 2008
Series A	6.50%	4.00%	4.338%
Series B	7.75%	4.20%	4.368%
Series C	6.35%	4.278%	4.368%
Series D	6.75%	4.30%	4.368%
Series E	7.00%	4.20%	4.473%

The Funds are subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Shares at their liquidation value.

Preferred Shares, which are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote with the common stock but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.

Since mid-February 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (“ARPS”) issued by the Funds have been directly impacted by an unprecedented lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nation’s closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the Funds have consistently “failed” because of insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet the supply (shares offered for sale) at each auction. In a failed auction, ARPS holders cannot sell all, and may not be able to sell any, of their shares tendered for sale. While repeated auction failures have affected the liquidity for ARPS, they do not constitute a default or alter the credit quality of the ARPS, and ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the defined “maximum rate” the 7-day “AA” Composite Commercial Paper Rate multiplied by 150% (which is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction).

These developments with respect to ARPS have not affected the management or investment policies of the Funds, and the Funds’ outstanding common shares continue to trade on the NYSE. If the Funds’ ARPS auctions continue to fail and the “maximum rate” payable on the ARPS rises as a result of changes in short-term interest rates, returns for the Funds’ common shareholders could be adversely affected.

6. Subsequent Common Dividend Declarations

On March 3, 2008, the following dividends were declared to common shareholders payable April 1, 2008 to shareholders of record on March 13, 2008:

Convertible & Income	$0.125 per common share
Convertible & Income II	$0.11875 per common share

On April 1, 2008, the following dividends were declared to common shareholders payable May 1, 2008 to shareholders of record on April 11, 2008:

Convertible & Income	$0.125 per common share
Convertible & Income II	$0.11875 per common share

7. Legal Proceedings

In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (including PEA Capital LLC (“PEA”), Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”) and Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P.) agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New Jersey Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. The settlements related to an alleged “market timing” arrangement in certain open-end funds formerly sub-advised by PEA. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims. In addition to monetary payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance, compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing and consented to cease and desist orders and censures. Subsequent to these events, PEA deregistered and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Funds.

7. Legal Proceedings (continued)

Since February 2004, the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisers and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing”, which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits have been consolidated in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. Any potential resolution of these matters may include, but not be limited to, judgments or settlements for damages against the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser, or its affiliates or related injunctions.

The Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Funds.

The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of:

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund
Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets applicable to common shareholders and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund and Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II (the “Funds”) at February 29, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets applicable to common shareholders for the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, 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 with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 29, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds	Tax Information/Annual Shareholder Meeting Results
	(unaudited)

Tax Information:

Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, requires the Funds to advise shareholders within 60 days of the Funds’ tax year-end (February 29, 2008) as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received by shareholders during such tax year. Per share dividends for the tax year ended February 29, 2008 were as follows:

Convertible & Income:
Dividends to common shareholders from ordinary income	$	1.4947
Dividends to preferred shareholders from ordinary income	$	1,316.9650

Pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, the Fund designates qualified dividend income of 13.3% or the maximum allowable amount.

The percentage of ordinary dividends paid by the Fund during the period ended February 29, 2008, which qualified for the Dividends Received Deduction available to corporate shareholders was 5.2% or the maximum allowable amount.

Convertible & Income II:
Dividends to common shareholders from ordinary income	$	1.5974
Dividends to preferred shareholders from ordinary income	$	1,318.7522

Pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, the Fund designates qualified dividend income of 13.8% or the maximum allowable amount.

The percentage of ordinary dividends paid by the Fund during the period ended February 29, 2008, which qualified for the Dividends Received Deduction available to corporate shareholders was 5.0% or the maximum allowable amount.

In January 2009, shareholders will be advised on IRS Form 1099 DIV as to the federal tax status of dividends and distributions received during calendar 2008. The amount that will be reported will be the amount to use on your 2008 federal income tax return and may differ from the amount which must be reported in connection with the Funds’ tax year ended February 29, 2008. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisers as to the federal, state and local tax status of the dividend income received from the Funds.

Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to You

We consider customer privacy to be a fundamental aspect of our relationship with clients. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of our current, prospective and former clients’ personal information. To ensure clients’ privacy, we have developed policies designed to protect this confidentiality, while allowing client needs to be served.

Obtaining Personal Information

In the course of providing you with products and services, we and certain service providers to the Funds, such as the Funds’ investment adviser, may obtain non-public personal information about you. This information may come from sources such as account applications and other forms, from other written, electronic or verbal correspondence, from your transactions, from your brokerage or financial advisory firm, financial adviser or consultant, and/or from information captured on our internet web sites.

Respecting Your Privacy

As a matter of policy, we do not disclose any personal or account information provided by you or gathered by us to non-affiliated third parties, except as required or permitted by law or as necessary for such third parties to perform their agreements with respect to the Funds. As is common in the industry, non-affiliated companies may from time to time be used to provide certain services, such as preparing and mailing prospectuses, reports, account statements and other information, conducting research on client satisfaction, and gathering shareholder proxies. We may also retain non-affiliated companies to market our products and enter in joint marketing agreements with other companies. These companies may have access to your personal and account information, but are permitted to use the information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law. In most cases you will be clients of a third party, but we may also provide your personal and account information to your respective brokerage or financial advisory firm and/or to your financial adviser or consultant.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

We do reserve the right to disclose or report personal information to non-affiliated third parties in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to protect our rights or property, or upon reasonable request by any mutual fund in which you have chosen to invest. In addition, we may disclose information about you or your accounts to a non-affiliated third party at your request or if you consent in writing to the disclosure.

Sharing Information with Affiliates

We may share client information with our affiliates in connection with servicing your account or to provide you with information about products and services that we or our affiliates believe may be of interest to you. The information we share may include, for example, your participation in our mutual funds or other investment programs sponsored by us or our affiliates, your ownership of certain types of accounts (such as IRAs), or other data about your accounts. Our affiliates, in turn, are not permitted to share your information with non-affiliated entities, except as required or permitted by law.

Procedures to Safeguard Private Information

We take seriously the obligation to safeguard shareholder non-public personal information. In addition to this policy, we have also implemented procedures that are designed to restrict access to your non-public personal information only to internal personnel who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to you. In order to guard your non-public personal information, physical, electronic and procedural safeguards are in place.

Proxy Voting Policies & Procedures:

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds	Dividend Reinvestment Plan
	(unaudited)

Pursuant to the Funds’ Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), all Common Shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names will have all dividends, including any capital gain dividends, reinvested automatically in additional Common Shares by PFPC Inc., as agent for the Common Shareholders (the “Plan Agent”), unless the shareholder elects to receive cash. An election to receive cash may be revoked or reinstated at the option of the shareholder. In the case of record shareholders such as banks, brokers or other nominees that hold Common Shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder as representing the total amount registered in such shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who are to participate in the Plan. Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or nominee should contact the bank, broker or nominee for details. All distributions to investors who elect not to participate in the Plan (or whose broker or nominee elects not to participate on the investor’s behalf), will be paid cash by check mailed, in the case of direct shareholder, to the record holder by PFPC Inc., as the Funds’ dividend disbursement agent.

Unless you elect (or your broker or nominee elects) not to participate in the Plan, the number of Common Shares you will receive will be determined as follows:

(1)

If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is equal to or less than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Funds will issue new shares at the greater of (i) the net asset value per Common Share on the payment date or (ii) 95% of the market price per Common Share on the payment date; or

(2)

If on the payment date the net asset value of the Common Shares is greater than the market price per Common Share plus estimated brokerage commissions that would be incurred upon the purchase of Common Shares on the open market, the Plan Agent will receive the dividend or distribution in cash and will purchase Common Shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants’ accounts. It is possible that the market price for the Common Shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the market price on the payment date, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Funds. The Plan Agent will use all dividends and distributions received in cash to purchase Common Shares in the open market on or shortly after the payment date, but in no event later than the ex-dividend date for the next distribution. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested cash payments.

You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by giving notice to the Plan Agent. If you withdraw or the Plan is terminated, you will receive a certificate for each whole share in your account under the Plan and you will receive a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account. If you wish, the Plan Agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions.

The Plan Agent maintains all shareholders’ accounts in the Plan and gives written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. The Plan Agent will also furnish each person who buys Common Shares with written instructions detailing the procedures for electing not to participate in the Plan and to instead receive distributions in cash. Common Shares in your account will be held by the Plan Agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all Common Shares you have received under the Plan.

There is no brokerage charge for reinvestment of your dividends or distributions in Common Shares. However, all participants will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the Plan Agent when it makes open market purchases.

Automatically reinvested dividends and distributions are taxed in the same manner as cash dividends and distributions.

The Funds and the Plan Agent reserve the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, the Funds reserve the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Additional information about the Plan may be obtained from the Funds’ transfer agent, PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 43027, Providence, RI 02940-3027, telephone number (800) 331-1710.

	Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund (The “Fund”)

AUDIT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE POLICY FOR PRE-APPROVAL OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Fund’s Audit Oversight Committee (“Committee”) is charged with the oversight of the Funds’ financial reporting policies and practices and their internal controls. As part of this responsibility, the Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement by the independent accountants, the Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:

a review of the nature of the professional services expected to provided,

the fees to be charged in connection with the services expected to be provided,a

review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and

periodic meetings with the accounting firm.

POLICY FOR AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FUNDS

On an annual basis, the Fund’s Committee will review and pre-approve the scope of the audits of the Funds and proposed audit fees and permitted non-audit (including audit-related) services that may be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants. At least annually, the Committee will receive a report of all audit and non-audit services that were rendered in the previous calendar year pursuant to this Policy. In addition to the Committee’s

pre-approval of services pursuant to this Policy, the engagement of the independent accounting firm for any permitted non-audit service provided to the Fund will also require the separate written pre-approval of the President of the Fund, who will confirm, independently, that the accounting firm’s engagement will not adversely affect the firm’s independence. All non-audit services performed by the independent accounting firm will be disclosed, as required, in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Annual Fund financial statement audits
Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required)
SEC and regulatory filings and consents
Semiannual financial statement reviews

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

Accounting consultations
Fund merger support services
Agreed upon procedure reports (inclusive of the annual review of Basic Maintenance testing associated
  with issuance of Preferred Shares and semiannual report review)
Other attestation reports
Comfort letters
Other internal control reports

Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $150,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

TAX SERVICES

The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants and services falling under one of these categories will be pre-approved by the Committee on an annual basis if the Committee deems those services to be consistent with the accounting firm’s independence:

Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following:
   Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, sales and use tax compliance
   Timely RIC qualification reviews
   Tax distribution analysis and planning
   Tax authority examination services
   Tax appeals support services
   Accounting methods studies
   Fund merger support service
   Other tax consulting services and related projects

Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process described above, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $150,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

PROSCRIBED SERVICES

The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:

Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Funds
Financial information systems design and implementation
Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports
Actuarial services
Internal audit outsourcing services

PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE FUND COMPLEX

The Committee will pre-approve annually any permitted non-audit services to be provided to Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (Formerly, PA Fund Management LLC) or any other investment manager to the Funds (but not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted by the investment manager) (the “Investment Manager”) and any entity

controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Investment Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund (including affiliated sub-advisers to the Fund), provided, in each case, that the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund (such entities, including the Investment Manager, shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Affiliates”). Individual projects that are not presented to the Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process, may be pre-approved, if deemed consistent with the accounting firm’s independence, by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $150,000. Any such pre-approval shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Although the Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Funds’ independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to the Investment Manager and its affiliates.

DE MINIMUS EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENT OF PRE-APPROVAL OF NON-AUDIT SERVICES

With respect to the provision of permitted non-audit services to a Fund or Accounting Affiliates, the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

(1)	The aggregate amount of all such permitted non-audit services provided constitutes no more than (i) with respect to such services provided to the Fund, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided, and (ii) with respect to such services provided to Accounting Affiliates, five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the Fund’s independent accountant by the Fund and the Accounting Affiliates during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;
(2)	Such services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement for such services to be non-audit services; and
(3)	Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by the Committee Chairman (or any other Committee member who is a disinterested trustee under the Investment Company Act to whom this Committee Chairman or other delegate shall be reported to the full Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. e) 2. No services were approved pursuant to the procedures contained in paragraph (C) (7) (i) (C) of Rule 2-01 of Registration S-X.

     f) Not applicable

     g) Non-audit fees. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Auditor for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Adviser, for the 2007 Reporting Period was $1,715,429 and the 2008 Reporting Period was $487,892.

     h) Auditor Independence. The Registrant’s Audit Oversight Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Adviser which were not pre-approved is compatible with maintaining the Auditor’s independence.

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANT

Appendix B

Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management LLC ("NACM")
Description of Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures

Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management takes seriously the responsibility of voting proxies on behalf of our clients. Our policies and procedures are designed to meet all applicable fiduciary standards and to protect the rights and enhance the economic welfare of those to whom we owe a fiduciary duty.

A Proxy Committee, including executive, investment, sales, marketing, compliance and operations personnel, is responsible for establishing our policies and procedures. The Committee reviews these policies and procedures on a regular basis and makes such changes as it believes are necessary. Our guidelines and voting actions are to a large extent aligned with the voting recommendations of Glass Lewis, a third-party proxy voting service to which we subscribe.

We vote all proxies received according to our written guidelines, Glass Lewis recommendations and/or investment team input. Our guidelines address such general areas as elections of directors and auditors, corporate defenses, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring, state of incorporation, proxy contest issues, executive compensation, employee considerations and social issue proposals.

The guidelines contained herein reflect our normal voting position on certain issues, and may not apply in every situation. The guidelines are intended to generally cover both U.S. and international proxy voting, although due to country differences and requirements, international proxy voting may differ depending on individual facts and circumstances. Even when our guidelines specify how we normally vote on particular issues, we may change the vote if it is reasonably determined to be in our client’s best interest. In certain cases, we will vote a specific account outside of our policy upon client request.

To ensure that voting responsibilities are met, the Committee has established operational procedures to have client proxies reconciled against client holdings to ensure ballots are received and voted. The procedures are also intended to ensure that proxies are voted consistent with voting guidelines, that the proxy analysis is used for each issue, and all votes are recorded. Any variance from stated policy is carefully noted, including the reason for the variance. In some circumstances NACM is not notified of a ballot to vote, therefore resulting in a non-voted ballot.

The proxy voting and record keeping are provided through a third party vendor, Glass Lewis. Prior to October 31, 2006 we were using Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) for this service. We maintain proxy voting records for all applicable accounts and make these records available to clients at their request.

Like other investment professionals with multiple clients, a Portfolio Manager for a Fund may face certain potential conflicts of interest in connection with managing both the Fund and other accounts at the same time. The paragraphs below describe some conflicts faced by investment professionals at most major financial firms.

NACM (for purposes of this section, the “Investment Adviser”) has adopted compliance policies and procedures that address certain of these potential conflicts. The management of accounts with different advisory fee rates and/or fee structures, including accounts that pay advisory fees based on account performance may raise potential conflicts of interest by creating an incentive to favor higher-fee accounts. These potential conflicts may include, among others:

• The most attractive investments could be allocated to higher-fee accounts or performance fee accounts.

• The trading of higher-fee accounts could be favored as to timing and/or execution price. For example, higher-fee accounts could be permitted to sell securities earlier than other accounts when a prompt sale is desirable or to buy securities at an earlier and more opportune time.

• The investment management team could focus their time and efforts primarily on higher-fee accounts due to a personal stake in compensation.

When the Investment Adviser considers the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of a Fund as well as other accounts, the Investment Adviser’s trading desk may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased. Aggregation of trades may create the potential for unfairness to a Fund or another account if one account is favored over another in allocating the securities purchased or sold—for example, by allocating a disproportionate amount of a security that is likely to increase in value to a favored account. The Investment Adviser considers many factors when allocating securities among accounts, including the account’s investment style, applicable investment restrictions, availability of securities, available cash, and other current holdings. The Investment Adviser attempts to allocate investment opportunities among accounts in a fair and equitable manner. However, accounts are not assured of participating equally or at all in particular investment allocations due to such factors as noted above.

“Cross trades,” in which one Investment Adviser account sells a particular security to another account (potentially saving transaction costs for both accounts), may also pose a potential conflict of interest if, for example, one account is permitted to sell a security to another account at a higher price than an independent third party would pay. The Investment Adviser has adopted compliance procedures that provide that all cross trades are to be made at an independent current market price, as required by law.

Another potential conflict of interest may arise from the different investment objectives and strategies of a Fund and other accounts. For example, another account may have a shorter-term investment horizon or different investment objectives, policies or restrictions than a Fund. Depending on another account’s objectives or other factors, a Portfolio Manager may give advice and make decisions that may differ from advice given, or the timing or nature of decisions made, with respect to a Fund. In addition, investment decisions are subject to suitability for the particular account involved. Thus, a particular security may not be bought or sold for certain accounts even though it was bought or sold for other accounts at the same time. More rarely, a particular security may be bought for one or more accounts managed by a Portfolio Manager when one or more other accounts are selling the security (including short sales). There may be circumstances when purchases or sales of portfolio securities for one or more accounts may have an adverse effect on other accounts. The Investment Adviser maintains trading policies designed to provide portfolio managers an opportunity to minimize the effect that short sales in one portfolio may have on holdings in other portfolios.

A Portfolio Manager who is responsible for managing multiple accounts may devote unequal time and attention to the management of those accounts. As a result, the Portfolio Manager may not be able to formulate as complete a strategy or identify equally attractive investment opportunities for each of those accounts as might be the case if he or she were to devote substantially more attention to the management of a single fund. The effects of this potential conflict may be more pronounced where funds and/or accounts overseen by a particular Portfolio Manager have different investment strategies.

A Fund’s Portfolio Manager(s) may be able to select or influence the selection of the broker/dealers that are used to execute securities transactions for the Fund. In addition to executing trades, some brokers and dealers provide the Investment Adviser with brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which may result in the payment of higher brokerage fees than might have otherwise be available. These services may be more beneficial to certain funds or accounts than to others. In order to be assured of continuing to receive services considered of value to its clients, the Investment Adviser has adopted a brokerage allocation policy embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Investment Adviser allocates the payment of brokerage commissions is subject to the requirement that the Portfolio Manager determine in good faith that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided to the Fund.

A Fund’s Portfolio Manager(s) may also face other potential conflicts of interest in managing a Fund, and the description above is not a complete description of every conflict that could be deemed to exist in managing both the Funds and other accounts. In addition, a Fund’s Portfolio Manager may also manage other accounts (including their personal assets or the assets of family members) in their personal capacity. The Investment Adviser’s investment personnel, including each Fund’s Portfolio Manager, are subject to restrictions on engaging in personal securities transactions pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s Codes of Ethics, which contain provisions and requirements designed to identify and address conflicts of interest between personal investment activities and the interests of the Funds.

a) 3) As of February 29, 2008 the following explains the compensation structure of each individual (as listed in the Prospectus) that shares primary responsibility for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund (for the purposes of this section, “Portfolio Managers”):

Nicholas-Applegate believes that competitive compensation is essential to retaining top industry talent. With that in mind, the firm continually reevaluates its compensation policies against industry benchmarks. Its goal is to offer portfolio managers and analysts compensation and benefits in the top quartile for comparable experience, as measured by industry benchmarks surveyed by McLagan and ECS (Watson Wyatt Data Services).

Nicholas-Applegate’s compensation policy features both short-term and long-term components. The firm offers competitive base salaries and bonuses, profit-sharing and generous retirement plans. Investment professionals’ annual compensation is directly affected by the performance of their portfolios, their performance as individuals and the success of the firm. Typically, an investment professional’s compensation is comprised of a base salary and a bonus.

Investment professionals are awarded bonuses based primarily on product performance. A 360-degree qualitative review is also considered. As part of the 360-degree review, analysts and portfolio managers are reviewed by the portfolio manager who is responsible for final investment decisions for their strategy and other portfolio managers to whose portfolios they contribute. Decision making portfolio managers are reviewed by the Chief Investment Officer, who evaluates performance both quantitatively versus benchmarks and peer universes, as well as qualitatively.

Compensation and Account Performance

Approximately 75% of a portfolio manager’s bonus is based on one- (30% weight), three- (60% weight), and five-year (10% weight) annualized performance of client accounts. Relative performance to the benchmark is approximately half of the calculation and the product’s peer ranking in institutional consultant universes determines the other half. The remaining 25% of the bonus is based on a qualitative review and firm profitability. In the qualitative review, team members are evaluated based on the consistency of their implementation of the investment process. Portfolio managers responsible for final investment decisions evaluate the members of their teams. The Chief Investment Officer evaluates the decision making portfolio managers.

Profit-Sharing

Investment teams participate in a profit-sharing plan which provides the opportunity for additional compensation. Each team receives a pool which is based on the pre-tax profit of their product(s). All team members are eligible to participate in the pool. Allocations are decided by the Chief Investment Officer and the portfolio managers responsible for final investment decisions of the teams. The share of pre-tax profit increases with increasing profitability. This structure, together with the bonus based on investment performance, fully aligns the team with client interests.

Long-Term Cash Bonus Plan

A Long-Term Cash Bonus Plan provides long-term incentives and rewards to certain key staff and executives of Nicholas-Applegate and the other Allianz Global Investors companies to promote long-term growth and profitability. The Plan provides awards that are based on Nicholas-Applegate’s operating earnings growth. The plan provides a link between longer term company performance and participant pay, further motivating participants to make a long-term commitment to the company’s success.

Equity Ownership

In September 2006, Allianz SE approved an equity ownership plan for key employees of Nicholas-Applegate. The plan was implemented as of January 31, 2007. Nicholas-Applegate believes this plan is important in retaining and recruiting key investment professionals, as well as providing ongoing incentives for Nicholas-Applegate employees.
