Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds Letter to Shareholders

October 16, 2007

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the semiannual reports of the Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund and Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II (collectively, the “Funds”) for the six-month period ended August 31, 2007.

The convertible market finished the reporting period on a positive note, as measured by the Merrill Lynch All-Convertible Index, increasing 2.04%. However, the convertible market underperformed broad equity measures, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index, which returned 10.06% and 5.70%, respectively, for the six-month period.

Please review 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 financial needs.

Sincerely,


Hans W. Kertess		Brian S. Shlissel

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund Fund Insights
August 31, 2007 (unaudited)

For the six-months ended August 31, 2007, Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund returned 0.77% on net asset value (“NAV”) and (10.01)% on market price.

The market experienced volatility during the period. Oil prices rose throughout the second quarter and the housing market continued to be weak as subprime fears resurfaced. In July, several events converged to create a significant sell-off in the markets. Mortgage delinquencies led to rapid quality and price declines in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). Price declines in the CMO market led to price declines in all collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) which, in turn, dried up demand for loans. The lack of demand for loans ultimately put pressure on bond and stock prices.

The July sell-off resulted in a far higher average spread for bonds. While uncertainty of the financial crisis affected stocks during August, the high yield market actually rebounded and produced a positive return for the month.

Industry performance was mixed during the period. The materials, energy and industrials sectors gained the most. Issuers in the technology and healthcare industries also performed well as strong emerging market demand and better-than-expected corporate profits drove returns. The consumer discretionary, financial and media industries sectors underperformed as the credit crisis hindered financial results.

Convertible new issuance was robust during the second quarter of 2007, with 62 deals raising $28.1 billion. However, new issuance slowed during subsequent months.

Security selection was the key driver in the Fund’s absolute and relative performance during the six months. Top performers were those companies that improved operating statistics and exceeded earnings expectations. The Fund did not stray from its total return discipline, focusing on convertible securities which capture 70-80% of the upside and 40-50% of the downside.

Avoiding weaker credits certainly paid off in the high yield market, but it was the rebound of good credit as well as strategic purchases and trading during the sharpest downticks that produced the greatest outperformance.

(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 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 less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual return.

An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, price, yield and 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 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 per share dividend to common shareholders by the market price per common share at August 31, 2007.

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds 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 there under, 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 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 impact to the Funds’ financial statements at August 31, 2007.

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 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 SFAS 157 against their current valuation policies to determine future applicability.

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 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. 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 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.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain convertible preferred stock which record these dividends when the information becomes available.

(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 in.

(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 it 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.

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 any other forms of leverage that may be outstanding) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing leverage).

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 a monthly fee.

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.

7. Legal Proceedings

In June and September 2004, the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates (including Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC; PEA Capital LLC and Allianz Global) agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 Capital LLC. The Investment Manager and its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims related to shelf space. 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 Capital LLC deregistered and dissolved. None of the settlements alleged that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Funds.

Since February 2004, the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser and certain of their affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in a number of pending lawsuits concerning “market timing”; and “revenue sharing/shelf-space/directed brokerage,” which allege the same or similar conduct underlying the regulatory settlements discussed above. The market timing lawsuits and have been consolidated in a muti-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 their affiliates or related injunctions.

The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser 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.

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds	Matters Relating to the Trustees’
	Consideration of the Investment
	Management and Portfolio
	Management Agreements
	(unaudited)

The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and a majority of the non-interested (“Independent”) Trustees, voting separately, approve the Funds’ Management Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Investment Manager and Portfolio Management Agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”, and together with the Advisory Agreements, the “Agreements”) between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees met on June 13, 2007 (the “contract review meeting”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.

Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Funds ’ Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2007.

In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements.

In connection with their contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Analytical Services Inc. (“Lipper Inc.”) on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Funds for various time periods and the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives identified by Lipper Inc., (ii) information provided by Lipper Inc. on the Funds’ management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc., (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and other clients, (iv) the profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Funds for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Funds, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds.

The Trustees’ conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees’ deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors.

As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s ability to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Funds. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Funds; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to provide high quality services to the Funds in the future under the Agreements, including each organization’s respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Funds given their investment objectives and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Funds	Matters Relating to the Trustees’
	Consideration of the Investment
	Management and Portfolio
	Management Agreements
	(unaudited)

Based on information provided by Lipper Inc., the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding each Fund’s performance.

In assessing the reasonableness of each Fund’s fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, each Fund’s management fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc.

For each of the Funds, the Trustees specifically took note of how each Fund compared to its Lipper Inc. peers as to performance and total expense ratio. The Trustees noted that while the Funds are not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Lipper Inc. categories were charged such a fee by their investment managers. Thus, the Trustees, at the recommendation of the Investment Manager, considered the total expenses of the Funds compared to the total expenses of the peer funds, recognizing that the fees for management and administrative services would be subsumed within the total expense ratio.

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund

The Trustees noted that Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund outperformed its peer group’s median and low returns but had slightly underperformed the group’s high returns for the one-year period ended March 31, 2007. The Trustees also noted that Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund outperformed its peer low group but had slightly underperformed the median and the high group for the three-year period ended March 31, 2007. The Trustees noted that in the one-year period, Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund’s total return was ranked second out of six funds in its Lipper category for its asset class. The Trustees also noted that Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund’s expense ratio was significantly below the high for its peer group but was slightly above the median and the low for its peer group.

Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II

The Trustees noted that Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II outperformed its peer group’s median and low returns and was in line with the peer group’s high returns for the one-year period ended March 31, 2007. The Trustees also noted that Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II outperformed its peer group’s median and low returns but had underperformed the peer group’s high returns for the three-year period ended March 31, 2007. The Trustees noted that in the one-year period, Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II’s total return was ranked first out of six funds in its Lipper category for its asset class. The Trustees also noted that Nicholas-Applegate Convertible & Income Fund II’s expense ratio was below the high for its peer group and was slightly above the median and the low for its peer group.

After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that they were satisfied with the Investment Manager’s and the Sub-Adviser’s responses and efforts relating to investment performance and the comparative positioning of each Fund with respect to the management fee paid to the Investment Manager.

The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. Regarding the institutional separate accounts, they noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by these other clients of the Sub-Adviser, but were advised that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds is also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Funds are subject in comparison to institutional separate accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end funds but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Funds, such as the use of leverage and meeting a regular dividend.

The Trustees also took into account that the Funds have preferred shares outstanding, which increases the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on either the Fund’s new assets or total managed assets, including assets attributable to preferred shares and other forms of leverage outstanding but not deducting any liabilities connected to the leverage). In this regard, the Trustees took into

account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Funds to continue to have preferred shares outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on the one hand, and the Fund’s common shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser indicating that each Fund’s use of leverage through preferred shares continues to be appropriate and in the interests of the Fund’s common shareholders.

Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager from its relationship with each Fund and determined that such profitability was not excessive.

The Trustees also took into account that, as closed-end investment companies, the Funds do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Funds will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of each Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.

Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.

After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.
