The resulting fund complex, to be known as the "PIMCO Funds," will offer both individual and institutional share classes and provide you with a number of benefits, including an immediate reduction in Fund operating expenses. WHAT THE CONSOLIDATION CHANGES As part of this overall restructuring, we are proposing the merger of the PIMCO Advisors Value Fund into the PIMCO Funds' NFJ Diversified Low P/E Fund (which will be renamed the "Value Fund" after the restructuring), and the merger of the PIMCO Advisors Discovery Fund into the PIMCO Funds' Cadence Mid Cap Growth Fund. Each share of your Fund would be exchanged at net asset value and on a tax- free basis for shares of the fund that is its merger partner. Each merger would allow you to pursue a similar investment objective with the same portfolio manager, in a larger fund with a longer track record and lower operating expenses. We expect the proposed restructuring and the merger of your Fund will offer you the following advantages: . Lower operating expenses. The PIMCO Funds feature a "unified fee" structure that will set fixed advisory and administration fees for the Value and Discovery Funds post-merger in place of the current fluctuating expense ratios--at an initial combined rate lower than the current and historical expense ratios of these Funds. . More assets in your Fund. Your new Fund will have more assets under management. In general, more assets can mean more opportunities to control risk through greater portfolio diversification. A larger fund can also realize transaction cost savings and other efficiencies when buying and selling securities. . A larger fund family. You will be part of a fund family which will have approximately $24 billion in assets (based on current values). This increase in size should provide all of the Funds with more visibility and presence in the marketplace with the potential to attract new assets. . More Funds to select. We will be able to offer eight additional Funds-- resulting in a broader choice of investments for shareholders seeking to make free exchanges between Funds or to diversify further a portfolio. Like the PIMCO Advisors Funds you now own, the eight additional Funds are managed by our well known, respected institutional asset management firms. . Strong performance histories. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, the PIMCO Funds which will now be available to you generally have strong performance histories. . Simplified PIMCO Funds structure. Having multiple fund complexes with the PIMCO name may have caused confusion for some of our shareholders, especially when they were trying to track their Fund's performance in newspaper listings. This restructuring offers a simpler, more efficient way to identify your PIMCO Funds. WHAT STAYS THE SAME While this restructuring will bring about a number of changes, the fundamental characteristics of your Fund will stay the same. . Your Fund's management remains the same. Following the restructuring, you will have the same institutional investment firm managing your Fund. . Continued access to specialized, institutional expertise. Each Fund you already own, and the new ones we are adding to the Fund family, will continue to offer access to PIMCO Advisors' institutional investment management firms--each of which specializes in a specific investment discipline or style. . Firm commitment to shareholders. PIMCO Advisors and its affiliates remain committed to shareholders in terms of Fund performance, communications and service. The table attached as Exhibit A to this letter summarizes the transaction for your Fund. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT After reviewing the proposed consolidations, your Board of Trustees unanimously agreed that they are in the best interests of Fund shareholders and voted to approve the transactions, all as more fully described in the accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Now it is your turn to review the proposal for your Fund and vote. For more information about the issues requiring your vote, please refer to the accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement. A special meeting of the shareholders of PIMCO Advisors Funds will be held at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on December 20, 1996 to vote on the specific issues of each proposed merger. The meeting will be held at our offices at 2187 Atlantic Street in Stamford, Connecticut. If you are not able to attend the meeting, then please use the enclosed proxy and envelope to cast your vote so that you will be represented. Thank you in advance for your participation in this important event. Sincerely, /s/ William D. Cvengros William D. Cvengros, Chief Executive Officer P.S. No matter how many shares you own, your timely vote is important. Please make the effort to complete, sign, date and mail the enclosed proxy promptly, in order to avoid the expense of additional mailings or having our proxy solicitor, Shareholder Communications Corporation, telephone you.

Therefore, past ratings are not a guarantee of future results. Overall rating is a weighted average of a fund's 3-, 5- and 10-year ratings (when applicable) as of September 30, 1996. During those periods there were, respectively, 1,708, 1,018 and 557 equity funds rated. The ratings are calculated from a fund's average annual total return with appropriate sales charge adjustment and a risk factor that reflects fund performance relative to three month Treasury bill returns. The Mid Cap Growth Fund's 3- and 5-year ratings as of 9/30/96 were both 4-stars. The NFJ Diversified Low P/E Fund's 4-star rating is based on its 3-year record. Four and five star ratings are limited to approximately the top one-third of the funds in an investment category.

Each share of your Fund would be exchanged at net asset value and on a tax-free basis for shares of the fund that is its merger partner.

Strong performance histories. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, the PIMCO Funds which will now be available to you have strong performance histories. - -------- * The merger of the PIMCO Advisors Money Market Fund involves a change of investment advisor and a different fee situation (see "Money Market Fund-- Special Considerations" in the attached table). ** U.S. Government Fund shareholders should note that their Fund's intended merger partner, the Total Return Fund, does not invest exclusively in U.S. Government securities. .

As a result, the advisor for your Money Market Fund, currently Columbus Circle Investors, will become Pacific Investment Management Company. After the consolidation, the aggregate operating expenses to be borne by investors will be lower than the currently approved contractual rate for your Money Market Fund, but higher than the current operating expenses for your Fund, which have been lowered by the current advisor's voluntary fee waiver. Please note, money market funds strive to maintain a $1.00 per share net asset value. However, these funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and there can be no assurance that a fund's $1.00 per share net asset value will remain stable. - -------- * Morningstar ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance and are subject to monthly changes. Therefore, past ratings are not a guarantee of future results. Overall rating is a weighted average of a fund's 3-, 5- and 10-year ratings (when applicable) as of September 30, 1996. During these periods, there were, respectively, 948, 500 and 186 fixed income funds rated. The ratings are calculated from a fund's average annual total return with appropriate sales charge adjustment and a risk factor that reflects fund performance relative to three month Treasury bill returns. The Total Return, Short-Intermediate and Low Duration Funds' 3- and 5-year ratings as of 9/30/96 were 4- and 5-stars, 4- and 3-stars, and 5- and 5-stars, respectively. The U.S. Government and High Income Funds' 3-, 5- and 10-year ratings were 2-, 1- and 2-stars, and 2-, 3- and 2-stars, respectively. The High Yield Fund's 4-star rating is based on its 3-year record. Four and five star ratings are limited to approximately the top one-third of the funds in an investment category and 35% earn 3 stars, and one-third of the funds receive 2 or 1 stars. [LOGO OF PIMCO APPEARS HERE] PIMCO ADVISORS L.P. 800 NEWPORT CENTER DRIVE NEWPORT BEACH, CALIFORNIA 92660 November 4, 1996 Dear PIMCO Advisors Funds Shareholder: We are proposing to consolidate the PIMCO Advisors Funds (your fund family) with the existing institutional PIMCO Funds family. If approved, this consolidation would provide you with a number of advantages, including a larger fund family. WHAT THE CONSOLIDATION CHANGES Currently, there are two PIMCO fund families: PIMCO Advisors Funds (your fund family) and the institutional PIMCO Funds family, both of which are managed by PIMCO Advisors affiliated investment firms. The Fund complex resulting from the consolidation, to be known as the "PIMCO Funds," will offer both retail and institutional share classes and provide our current PIMCO Advisors Funds shareholders with several important benefits. . A larger fund family. You will be part of a fund family which will have approximately $24 billion in assets (based on current values). This increase in size should provide the Funds with more visibility and presence in the marketplace with the potential to attract new assets, allowing for the possibility for greater portfolio diversification and lower portfolio transaction costs. . More Funds to select. We will be able to offer eight additional Funds-- resulting in a broader choice of investments for shareholders looking to make free exchanges between funds or to diversify further a portfolio. Like the PIMCO Advisors Funds you now own, the eight additional Funds are managed by our well known, respected institutional asset management firms. . Strong performance histories. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, the PIMCO Funds which will now be available to you have strong performance histories. . Fixed fees. Once the restructuring takes place, you will participate in the PIMCO Funds' "unified fee" structure that sets fixed advisory and administration fees in place of the current fluctuating expense ratios. The restructuring also involves changes in total Fund expense ratios (increases in some cases and decreases in others), all as more fully described in the proxy statement. In each case, during the term of the relevant contracts, the unified fee allows shareholders to know up front how much their Fund will be paying, and it protects against rising expenses. . Simplified PIMCO Funds structure. Having multiple fund complexes with the PIMCO name may have caused confusion for some of our shareholders, especially when they were trying to track their Fund's performance in newspaper listings. This restructuring offers a simpler, more efficient way to identify your PIMCO Funds. WHAT STAYS THE SAME While this restructuring will bring about a lot of changes, the fundamental characteristics of your Fund will stay the same. . Your Fund's management and investment objective remains the same. Following the restructuring, your Fund will have the same quality institutional investment team and the same investment objective. . Continued access to specialized, institutional expertise. Each Fund you already own (except for the Precious Metals Fund), and the new ones we are adding to the PIMCO Funds family, will continue to offer access to PIMCO Advisors institutional investment management firms--each of which specializes in a specific investment discipline or style. . Firm commitment to shareholders. PIMCO Advisors and its affiliates remain committed to shareholders, in terms of Fund performance, communications and service. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT After reviewing these proposed transactions, your Board of Trustees unanimously agreed that they are in the best interests of Fund shareholders and voted to approve the transactions, all as more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement. Now it is your turn to review the proposals for your Fund and vote. You are also being asked to approve new investment advisory and sub-advisory contracts. For more information about the issues requiring your vote (including the new investment advisory and sub-advisory arrangements that vary by Fund), please refer to the accompanying proxy statement. A special meeting of the shareholders of PIMCO Advisors Funds will be held at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on December 20, 1996 to vote on the specific issues of this proposed consolidation. The meeting will be held at our offices at 2187 Atlantic Street in Stamford, Connecticut. If you are not able to attend the meeting, then please use the enclosed proxy and envelope to cast your vote so that you will be represented. Thank you in advance for your participation in this important event. Sincerely, /s/ William D. Cvengros William D. Cvengros, Chief Executive Officer P.S.

If approved by shareholders, all of the funds will fall under the "PIMCO Funds" banner, and you and your clients will experience a host of potential benefits. . Stronger performance histories To avoid duplication and confusion, several of our Funds will merge into existing PIMCO institutional Funds. In almost all cases, the Funds' investment managers will stay the same. By and large, the institutional Funds have strong track records and longer performance histories. . Bond Fund expenses reduced In the future, the total expenses incurred by the retail investors in our taxable bond Funds will be substantially lower. An increase in expenses for the Opportunity Fund is proposed. . Expanded Fund family We'll offer ten new Funds by adding A, B and C shares to existing PIMCO institutional Funds. . Investment clout The consolidated fund family will be one of the largest fund complexes in the country. This can mean greater cost efficiencies when buying and selling portfolio securities. Status Quo Of course, some things are too good to tinker with. That's why these important elements will remain the same: . Institutional Fund managers Our Funds will continue to have the same investment firms managing their assets, except that the Money Market Fund will be managed by Pacific Investment Management Company. . Flexible pricing We'll continue to offer A, B and C shares. . Sales support The expert sales support you've come to expect will remain the same, including your internal and external wholesaler. Consolidation Timing In November, your clients will receive proxy statements and ballots. Please urge your clients to cast their votes as soon as possible, to avoid the cost of follow-up mailings. If the consolidation is approved, it's anticipated that the changes would occur by the end of January.
