TERMS TO KNOW                        

INDEX An unmanaged group of securities that is considered representative of the
stock or bond markets. An index does not take into account any fees or expenses
related to the individual securities that it tracks. However, for performance
comparisons, the index is adjusted to reflect dividend reinvestment of the
securities in the index.
 
MARKET CAPITALIZATION A measure of the size of a publicly traded company,
capitalization is determined by multiplying the current share price by the
number of shares outstanding. The market capitalization of a company has bearing
on its perceived earnings potential and risk. Small capitalization companies
(less than $1 billion) may present the potential for greater growth than larger,
more established companies. On the other hand, the stock of small cap companies
may be more volatile and therefore a greater risk to capital.
 
PRICE/EARNINGS MULTIPLE A company's stock price divided by its earnings for the
past four quarters, also referred to as its P/E.
 
VALUE STOCK The stock of a company that is out of favor with investors because
the market underestimates its value or overlooks its potential. Stocks can
become undervalued as a result of overreaction by investors to unfavorable news
about a company, industry or the stock market in general. They can also become
undervalued as a result of a market decline, poor economic conditions, tax-loss
selling or actual or anticipated unfavorable developments affecting the company.
 
VOLATILITY Characteristic of a security, commodity or market to rise or fall
sharply in price within a short period of time. A stock may be volatile because
the outlook for the company is particularly uncertain or because of various
other reasons.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
As we progress through the first quarter of 1997, the fundamentals of the
economy are remarkably similar to what they were one year ago. Long-term
interest rates are in the same 6.5% to 7% range they were in during the first
half of 1996. We believe the economy is growing at a rate of approximately 2.5%.
Inflation continues to be well under control, at about 3.0%.

  One significant difference between today and last year is that prices of the
stocks are on average up 20%. While price movements were more volatile in 1996
than in the past few years, the patient investor was amply rewarded. The prime
element sending the stock market higher was strong positive cash flows. This
liquidity in an environment of modestly increasing corporate profits and
relatively stable interest rates pushed stocks higher for most of the year.

  This higher stock market has caused many market observers to worry. While we
cannot ignore what has happened, we find no reason to be bearish over the long
term. The environment is benign to favorable for financial assets. Given steady
interest rates, moderate economic growth and continued moderate corporate
earnings growth, there are few excesses in the system. In fact, real interest
rates are probably too high considering our outlook for inflation, and we may
see them decline over time.

  Naturally, we cannot rule out the possibility of a market correction. But, in
our belief, the downside would appear to be limited to 5% to 8%, which is the
size of a typical correction based on historical data. As we have said in
previous outlooks, three elements tend to move the market:

  -   EARNINGS. We forecast corporate earnings to range between 0% and 5% on
      average for the Standard & Poor's 500* in 1997 -- not as high as in recent
      years but positive nonetheless.

  -   INTEREST RATES. Rates should remain relatively stable.

  -   LIQUIDITY. Investors, through mutual funds, 401(k)s and qualified
      contribution plans in particular, will continue to create strong demand
      for securities.

  In order to move the market more than would be expected in a typical decline,
one or more of these elements will have to turn negative in 1997, and, while
future market conditions cannot be predicted with certainty, we fail to see what
would materially change our outlook. Our outlook going forward is that 1997
should be a lot like 1996.

  While the economy continued along a relatively consistent path, the United
States took some politically significant steps in 1996. First, of course,
President Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress were re-elected by the voters.
In the first few days after the general election, especially, investors
demonstrated their support for such a balance in our leadership. But of much
greater long-term significance is the expressed commitment by both parties to
balance the federal budget and address certain entitlement programs. The first
year after an election can be a fertile time to accomplish major initiatives,
and we are hopeful that progress can be made.

  The future of the Social Security system, which many experts believe will run
out of money about 20 years from now, will be a subject in which you can expect
Zurich Kemper Investments, Inc. to play a leadership role. The possible
solutions for "fixing Social Security" are finite: raise Social Security taxes,
reduce benefits, raise the retirement age, change inflation assumptions or
pursue a higher rate of return on assets contributed by workers. We believe that
a bipartisan solution will be worked out, which will include giving individuals
the option of investing a portion of their Social Security contributions in an
account earmarked for them. This change is needed to return credibility to the
system, which many Americans have lost faith in.

  What to do with Social Security is a debate that spans generations and
promises to occupy much attention in the coming years. As we hope to help
advance constructive debate, we'll be advocating partial privatization for this
federal program while maintaining a safety net for many low-wage earners and
providing a seamless transition for seniors near or in retirement.

PERFORMANCE UPDATE

[REGNER PHOTO]

THOMAS M. REGNER JOINED ZURICH KEMPER INVESTMENTS, INC. IN 1994 AND IS A SENIOR
VICE PRESIDENT. IN ADDITION, HE IS THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF KEMPER HORIZON FUND.
REGNER RECEIVED BOTH HIS BACHELOR'S AND MASTER'S DEGREE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
WISCONSIN AND IS A CHARTERED FINANCIAL ANALYST WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
IN THE EQUITY MARKETS.

THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS REPORT REFLECT THOSE OF THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER ONLY
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD OF THE REPORT, AS STATED ON THE COVER. THE
MANAGER'S VIEWS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME, BASED ON MARKET AND OTHER
CONDITIONS.   

 
THE STRONG OUTPERFORMANCE OF LARGE CAPITALIZATION STOCKS COMPARED WITH OTHER
ASSET CLASSES HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR BROADLY DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIOS SUCH AS
KEMPER HORIZON FUND. PORTFOLIO MANAGER TOM REGNER DISCUSSES HOW THE FUND HAS
FARED IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. 
 
Q    HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE MARKET DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
 
A    From a performance standpoint, large capitalization, domestic stocks were
the place to be. They strongly outperformed all other asset classes. During the
six months ended January 31, 1997, the Standard & Poor's 500 (S&P 500) stock
index gained 24.13%. One of the main catalysts for this outperformance was a
tremendous flow of cash -- primarily retirement and pension fund assets -- into
stocks and stock mutual funds. This activity pushed up the prices of large, high
quality growth stocks, even though their valuations have been at historic highs.
 
Q    HOW DID KEMPER HORIZON FUND PERFORM IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?
 
A    The fund's broad diversification actually worked against it during the
period because of the unusual dominance of one asset class. While each portfolio
owned large capitalization stocks, and those particular stocks performed very
well, we

 This table reflects historical information on specific days in accordance with
 the above assumptions and is not representative of future results or results

 Horizon Fund, the table does not reflect results over a full market cycle or
 the relative potential for appreciation of the fund versus the market.
 Typically, lower risk implies lower return potential.
 
also owned international stocks, small capitalization stocks, value stocks and
bonds -- all of which underperformed large capitalization stocks.
 
  The Russell 2000, a measure of the small capitalization stock market, rose
17.97% during the same period; the Morgan Stanley Europe, Australasia, Far East
(EAFE) index, the benchmark for international stock performance, gained only
1.01%; the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond index, the benchmark for
the bond portion of the Horizon portfolios, rose 4.75%. (SEE BAR CHART ON PAGE
5.)
 
  The total return, unadjusted for sales charge, for Class A shares of Horizon
20+ Portfolio was 15.83%, Horizon 10+ Portfolio was 13.05% and Horizon 5
Portfolio was 8.93% for the six-month period ended January 31, 1997. The
difference in these returns reflect each portfolio's exposure to large
capitalization equities.
 
  That being said, it should be noted that our investments in small
capitalization, international and value stocks performed quite well within their
respective universes. That helped to buoy the portfolios' overall returns.
 
Q    IN OTHER WORDS, AN INTERNATIONALLY DIVERSIFIED FUND MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE
BEST PLACE TO BE IN THE SECOND HALF OF 1996?
 
A    For the short term, that's true. But the environment was highly unusual.
Normally one would expect the different asset classes to perform within a much
narrower range. And each portfolio in Kemper Horizon Fund is designed and
managed for a specific time horizon, not just a 12- or 18-month period. Over a
longer term, we know that broad diversification can help provide more consistent
return potential with less volatility. That's what one of this fund's goals: a
relative consistency of returns by controlling volatility. It's a fund that an
investor can be comfortable with over the long term without having to shift in
or out of various asset classes.
 
Q    HOW MUCH OF THE FUND WAS INVESTED IN LARGE CAPITALIZATION GROWTH STOCKS
DURING THE PERIOD?
 
A    Throughout most of the period, our equity allocations were tilted toward
growth stocks with about 60% in growth stocks and 40% in value stocks. Our
long-term large/small capitalization target ratio was 70% large versus 30%
small. Keep in mind that the proportion of total assets that each portfolio
invests in stocks is set by the prospectus: Kemper Horizon 20+ Portfolio
maintains approximately 80% of its total assets in equity securities, the
Horizon 10+ Portfolio approximately 60% and the Horizon 5 Portfolio
approximately 40%.
 
Q    COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW THE FUND CAN PROVIDE LESS VOLATILITY THAN THE MARKET?
 
A    Sure. One of the benefits of a broadly diversified portfolio
is that when one asset class declines, another asset class may rise, thereby
providing a cushion for the portfolio. For example, during the six months ended
January 31, 1997, there were four days during which the S&P 500 fell by more
than 1%. On those same days, Kemper Horizon Fund declined, but by a much smaller
degree. (SEE TABLE). Diversification can help provide some downside protection.

PERFORMANCE UPDATE


Q    LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FUND'S VALUE STOCK POSITIONS.
 
A    This portion of the fund is managed by Tom Sassi of Dreman Value Advisors,
Inc., the value management arm of Zurich Kemper Investments, Inc. (ZKI). Tom
favored financial stocks, certain domestic oil and energy companies and, on a
very selective basis, technology stocks. Amoco, Atlantic Richfield and Columbia
Gas Systems, Inc. are three energy stocks that were staples in our portfolio.
Last July, when technology stocks swooned, we saw some deep value opportunities
in that sector. However, given the rapid ups and downs that technology stocks
are prone to, Tom and his staff have been very diligent in selling stocks as
they reach established target valuations.
 
Q    HOW DID THE FUND'S INTERNATIONAL STOCKS PERFORM?
 
A    Actually, many of the major international markets (with the exception of
Japan) saw double-digit returns in 1996 on a local currency basis. However, the
strength of the dollar eroded those returns for U.S. investors. As with our
domestic stocks, where stock-picking gave us an edge, the research and expertise
provided by Dennis Ferro, managing director of Zurich Investment Manager
Limited, a London-based affiliate of ZKI, and his international investment team
really made a difference. Kemper Horizon Fund held overweight positions
(relative to the EAFE index) in Spain and Hong Kong, which proved to be
beneficial.
 
Q    WHERE ARE YOU CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES?
 
A    On the growth side, I'm still looking at technology. Our research indicates
that this sector continues to be fundamentally sound. As temporary setbacks
occur in response to negative news, we'll take advantage of buying
opportunities. I'm also looking at select pharmaceutical stocks. This sector
shows promise because new drugs continue to be approved more rapidly. That is
creating some investment opportunities. Also, pharmaceutical stocks have
historically provided a buffer against the volatility that is inherent in
technology stocks.
 
     Finally, I've been taking profits on some of the financial stocks that
performed well in 1996. In this sector, I'm also doing some repositioning,
moving out of insurance and bank stocks in favor of quality financial services
companies. Given the huge inflows of cash to the market, it stands to reason
that investment companies are going to see growth.
 
     On the value side of the portfolio we continue to look for opportunities in
financials and in oil and energy stocks. Political instability in Saudi Arabia
is causing some uncertainty and we think domestic companies with strong reserves
may be poised to surprise on the upside. We continue to look for buying
opportunities in technology as well, particularly with stocks that have not
participated in the recent run or are unjustly out of favor.
 
     Internationally, we are looking closely at Japanese exporters. Although the
Japanese markets are having some difficulty, the exporters are less dependent on
the local economy. We believe Hong Kong will continue to outperform other major
Pacific countries. In Europe, technology stocks look attractive and, with a low
interest rate environment and increased personal savings, European financial
services companies also look strong. Finally, Latin American stocks appear
fairly valued and we may find opportunities in markets with improving economic
fundamentals.
 
Q    MANY EQUITY INVESTORS WERE SURPRISED IN 1996 BY THE CONTINUED STRENGTH OF
THE U.S. MARKET AND A SOMEWHAT HIGHER DEGREE OF VOLATILITY. DID ANYTHING ABOUT
THE MARKET SURPRISE YOU?
 
A    If anything, it was the power that sentiment can have on the market over
the short term. The market was driven very much by sentiment in 1996 rather than
fundamentals. When you see more than $200 billion flooding into stock mutual
funds, as we did last year, it's clear that the rules of supply and demand --
not fundamentals -- are driving the market. I have no doubt, however, that
fundamentals will prevail over time.
 
     Technology stocks provide a good example of the importance of patience and
of staying disciplined with regard to fundamentals instead of following market
sentiment. There were periods when technology stocks appeared to be out of
favor, and the word on the street was to get out of these positions. But when we
studied the fundamentals, selling just didn't appear to be the right decision.
Had we followed sentiment and sold our technology positions, we would have
missed some solid gains and struggled to

buy back some of those stocks as they began to climb back up.
 
Q    THE NEW YEAR STARTED WITH ANOTHER STRONG MONTH FOR LARGE U.S. STOCKS. HOW
HAVE YOU POSITIONED THE FUND GOING FORWARD?
 
A    At this point (late February 1997), the market appears to have many of the
characteristics we saw in 1996: a bias toward large, blue chip companies driven
more by the substantial flow of cash into the market than by fundamentals. Money
continues to pour into large company growth stocks, despite the fact that many
of these issues are fully valued or even overvalued. With this in mind, I
recently made some adjustments to the fund's equity allocation. As of January
31, 1997, the overall style weightings are still 60% of equity assets in growth
stocks versus 40% in value stocks. However, about 80% of each portfolio's equity
allocation is in large capitalization stocks with the remaining 20% in small
capitalization stocks. Similarly, about 80% is allocated to domestic stocks with
20% in international stocks. This gives the portfolios a distinct slant toward
large cap domestic growth stocks, which is where the strength is at this time.
 
Q    WHAT IS THE RISK TO THAT POSITION?
 
A    The risk is very clear: If the economy reaccelerates and interest rates go
up, price to earnings multiples (SEE TERMS TO KNOW) will fall and we'll probably
see the market correct. In this scenario, though, the Horizon Fund portfolios
should be in a much better position than many funds. The international equities,
value stocks and bonds should provide protection on the downside.
 
     This goes back to the downside "cushion" I mentioned earlier. The
portfolios are designed with built-in hedges. For example: growth and value
stocks, large cap and small cap stocks, and domestic and international stocks
tend to perform in a countercyclical fashion. That is, one may outperform the
other in a typical market. By carefully structuring each portfolio to take
advantage of these different asset classes, we can help to reduce overall risk
and provide consistent return potential over the long term.

1  DESCRIPTION OF            
   THE FUND                  Kemper Horizon Fund (the "Fund") is an open-end
                             diversified management investment company
                             organized as a business trust under the laws of
                             Massachusetts. The Fund consists of three
                             investment portfolios ("Portfolios") designed for
                             investors with different investment objectives.
                             The three Portfolios are Kemper Horizon 20+
                             Portfolio, Kemper Horizon 10+ Portfolio, and
                             Kemper Horizon 5 Portfolio. Each Portfolio
                             currently offers four classes of shares. Class A
                             shares are sold to investors subject to an initial
                             sales charge. Class B shares are sold without an
                             initial sales charge but are subject to higher
                             ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a
                             contingent deferred sales charge payable upon
                             certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically
                             convert to Class A shares six years after
                             issuance. Class C shares are sold without an
                             initial sales charge but are subject to higher
                             ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a
                             contingent deferred sales charge payable upon
                             certain redemptions within one year of purchase.
                             Class C shares do not convert into another class.
                             Class I shares are offered to a limited group of
                             investors, are not subject to initial or
                             contingent deferred sales charges and have lower
                             ongoing expenses than other classes. Differences
                             in class expenses will result in the payment of
                             different per share income dividends by class. All
                             shares of each Portfolio have equal rights with
                             respect to voting, dividends and assets, subject
                             to class specific preferences.

2    SIGNIFICANT  
     ACCOUNTING POLICIES     INVESTMENT VALUATION. Investments are stated at
                             value. Portfolio securities that are traded on a
                             domestic securities exchange or securities listed
                             on the NASDAQ National Market are valued at the
                             last sale price on the exchange or market where
                             primarily traded or listed or, if there is no
                             recent sale, at the last current bid quotation.
                             Portfolio securities that are primarily traded on
                             foreign securities exchanges are generally valued
                             at the preceding closing values of such securities
                             on their respective exchanges where primarily
                             traded. Securities not so traded or listed are
                             valued at the last current bid quotation if market
                             quotations are available. Fixed income securities
                             are valued by using market quotations, or
                             independent pricing services that use prices
                             provided by market makers or estimates of market
                             values obtained from yield data relating to
                             instruments or securities with similar
                             characteristics. Equity options are valued at the
                             last sale price unless the bid price is higher or
                             the asked price is lower, in which event such bid
                             or asked price is used. Financial futures and
                             options thereon are valued at the settlement price
                             established each day by the board of trade or
                             exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign
                             currency contracts are valued at the forward rates
                             prevailing on the day of valuation. Other
                             securities and assets are valued at fair value as
                             determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
 
                                                                              33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                             CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The books and records of the
                             Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. All
                             assets and liabilities initially expressed in
                             foreign currency values are converted into U.S.
                             dollar values at the mean between the bid and
                             offered quotations of such currencies against U.S.
                             dollars as last quoted by a recognized dealer. If
                             such quotations are not readily available, the
                             rates of exchange are determined in good faith by
                             the Board of Trustees. Income and expenses and
                             purchases and sales of investments are translated
                             into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange
                             prevailing on the respective dates of such
                             transactions. The Portfolios include that portion
                             of the results of operations resulting from changes
                             in foreign exchange rates with net realized and
                             unrealized gain (loss) on investments, as
                             appropriate.
 
                             INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT
                             INCOME. Investment transactions are accounted for
                             on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is
                             executed). Dividend income is recorded on the
                             ex-dividend date, and interest income is recorded
                             on the accrual basis and includes discount
                             amortization on fixed income securities. Realized
                             gains and losses from investment transactions are
                             reported on an identified cost basis.
 
                             EXPENSES. Expenses arising in connection with a
                             specific Portfolio are allocated to that Portfolio.
                             Other Fund expenses are allocated among the
                             Portfolios in proportion to their relative net
                             assets.
 
                             FUND SHARE VALUATION. Fund shares are sold and
                             redeemed on a continuous basis at net asset value
                             (plus an initial sales charge on most sales of
                             Class A shares). Proceeds payable on redemption of
                             Class B and Class C shares will be reduced by the
                             amount of any applicable contingent deferred sales
                             charge. On each day the New York Stock Exchange is
                             open for trading, the net asset value per share is
                             determined as of the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Chicago
                             time or the close of the Exchange. The net asset
                             value per share is determined separately for each
                             class by dividing the Portfolio's net assets
                             attributable to that class by the number of shares
                             of the class outstanding.
 
                             FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. Each Portfolio has complied
                             with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue
                             Code available to investment companies for the six
                             months ended January 31, 1997.
 
                             DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Each Portfolio intends
                             to pay dividends of net investment income as
                             follows: annually for the Horizon 20+ Portfolio,
                             semiannually for the Horizon 10+ Portfolio, and
                             quarterly for the Horizon 5 Portfolio. Each
                             Portfolio will pay any net realized capital gains
                             at least annually. Dividends are recorded on
                             ex-dividend date. Dividends are determined in
                             accordance with income tax principles which may
                             treat certain transactions differently from
                             generally accepted accounting principles.

                             EQUALIZATION ACCOUNTING. A portion of proceeds from
                             sales and costs of redemptions of Portfolio shares
                             is credited or charged to undistributed net
                             investment income so that income per share
                             available for distribution is not affected by sales
                             or redemptions of shares.

6    FINANCIAL FUTURES
     CONTRACTS               The Portfolios have entered into exchange traded
                             financial futures contracts in order to take
                             advantage of anticipated market conditions and, as
                             such, bear the risk that arises from owning these
                             contracts.
 
                             At the time a Portfolio enters into a futures
                             contract, it is required to make a margin deposit

NOTES TO FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR ALL THREE PORTFOLIOS:
 
Total returns do not reflect the effect of any sales charges.
 
Per share data for the period ended July 31, 1996 was determined based on
average shares outstanding.
 
For the fiscal period ended July 31, 1996, the investment manager agreed to
reduce its management fee and absorb certain operating expenses of the
Portfolios. If these expense waivers had not been in effect, the expense ratio
of each share class would have increased by .06% of average net assets for
Horizon 20+, .04% for Horizon 10+ and .05% for Horizon 5. There would have been
a corresponding decrease in the net investment income ratio for the period. The
waivers were discontinued on August 1, 1996.
