Important Information

Through  our  ongoing  efforts to reduce  expenses  and  respond to  shareholder
requests, your annual and semiannual report mailings are "streamlined." One copy
of each report is sent to each address,  rather than to every registered  owner.
For many  shareholders  and their families,  this eliminates  duplicate  copies,
saving paper and postage costs to the Fund.

If you are the  primary  shareholder  on at least  one  account,  prefer  not to
participate in streamlining, and would like to continue receiving one report per
registered  account owner,  you may request this in writing to:
         USAA  Investment Management Company
         Attn: Report Mail
         9800  Fredericksburg  Road
         San Antonio,  TX  78284-8916
or phone a Mutual  Fund  Representative at 1-800-531-8448 during business hours.

This report is for the  information  of the  shareholders  and others who have
received a copy of the  currently  effective  prospectus of the USAA S&P 500
Index Fund, managed by USAA Investment  Management  Company (IMCO).  It may be
used as sales literature only when preceded or accompanied by a current
prospectus  which gives further details about the Fund.

                      THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

The USAA S&P 500 Index Fund(1) has accumulated assets faster than any other
mutual fund in the history of USAA Investment Management Company (IMCO).  As I
write this message, the Fund has a total value in excess of $485 million.  This
is both highly gratifying to us as money managers and highly important.

The importance of the fact that the Fund has achieved this size relates to the
great interest that our competitors and the financial press have shown in the 
Fund.  They have frequently suggested that our very low expense ratio was a
marketing ploy to gain shareholders quickly.  They pointed out that IMCO was 
reimbursing the Fund for some expenses in order to achieve that low expense
ratio.

On that last point they were correct.  But I have stated repeatedly these tenets
of our relationship with our shareholders:

- -We would offer an index fund only if we could make it a competitive investment.

- -To be competitive an index fund must have a low expense ratio.

- -Since small mutual funds have high expense ratios, a simple fact of arithmetic,
  we would have to begin by reimbursing some expenses.

- -We have done this with other funds.

- -We believe that we can grow our funds to the point where the reimbursement is 
 no longer necessary.

- -We have done it!

(Photo of the President, Michael J.C. Roth, appears here.)

At this writing the S&P 500 Index Fund is, in fact, covering all of its expenses
with an expense ratio of .18%.(2)  As it grows we shall have another 
money-making mutual fund, and you shall have an index fund that is as fine as 
any in the industry.

Sincerely,


Michael J. C. Roth, CFA
President and
Vice Chairman of the Board

appears as a guest on the America Online's SAGE Chat program [email protected] on
September 3.  The one-hour "Chat" starts at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

 

                        "To be competitive an index fund
                       must have a low expense ratio . . .
                                We have done it!"

(2) As of July 31, 1997, the Fund's total operating  expenses are .18% with no 
    reimbursement of expenses by the Fund Manager.  The Manager is entitled to
    receive fees from the Fund only if the total operating expenses of the Fund
    and the Portfolio do not exceed .18% of the Fund's  average net assets.  The
    Manager will  reimburse the Fund for any expenses in excess of .18% until
    May 1, 1998. A $10 annual  account  maintenance fee will be charged on 
    accounts with  balances less than $10,000  which may be higher or lower than
    that  charged by other  mutual  funds.

USAA S&P 500 Index Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 1997
(Unaudited)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
USAA MUTUAL FUND, INC. (the Company),  registered  under the Investment  Company
Act of 1940  (the  Act),  as  amended,  is a  diversified,  open-end  management
investment company  incorporated under the laws of Maryland  consisting of eight
separate  funds.  The information  presented in this semiannual  report pertains
only to the S&P 500  Index  Fund  (the  Fund).  The  Fund's  primary  investment
objective is to provide investment results that, before expenses,  correspond to
the total return of common  stocks  represented  by the S&P 500 Index.  The Fund
seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing  substantially all of its
assets in the Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the Portfolio), an open-end management
investment  company  advised  by  Bankers  Trust  Company  which  has  the  same
investment  objective as the Fund. At June 30, 1997,  the Fund's  investment was
16.17% of the Portfolio.

The financial  statements of the Portfolio,  including the Schedule of Portfolio
Investments,  are  contained  elsewhere  in this  report  and  should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

A.  Valuation of  Investments - The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio
at value  which  reflects  its  proportionate  interest in the net assets of the
Portfolio. Valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is discussed in the
notes to the Portfolio's financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

B. Investment Income and Expenses - The Fund records daily its pro rata share of
the Portfolio's income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses. 
In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses.

C. Federal Taxes - The Fund's policy is to comply with the  requirements  of the
Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to  regulated  investment  companies  and to
distribute  substantially all of its income to its shareholders.  Therefore,  no
federal  income or excise tax provision is required.  The Fund may  periodically
make reclassifications  among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the
timing and  characterization  of certain income and capital gains  distributions
determined  annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles.

D. Distributions - Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.  Distributions of net investment income are made quarterly.  Distributions
of the Fund's pro rata share of the  Portfolio's  realized  gains from  security
transactions not offset by capital losses are made in the succeeding fiscal year
or as otherwise  required to avoid the payment of federal taxes. At December 31,
1996,  the Fund had a capital loss  carryover for federal income tax purposes of
approximately  $1,430,435 which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will
expire in 2004.  It is  unlikely  that the Board of  Directors  of the Fund will
authorize a  distribution  of capital  gains  realized  in the future  until the
capital loss carryover has been utilized or expires.

E. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and  assumptions   that  may  affect  the  reported  amounts  in  the  financial
statements.

(2) Lines of Credit
The Fund participates with other USAA funds in two joint short-term revolving
loan  agreements  totaling $850 million  through January 13, 1998, one with USAA
Capital  Corporation   (CAPCO),  an  affiliate  of  the  Manager  ($750  million
uncommitted),  and one with an unaffiliated bank ($100 million  committed).  The
purpose  of the  agreements  is to  meet  temporary  or  emergency  cash  needs,
including   redemption  requests  that  might  otherwise  require  the  untimely
disposition of securities.  Subject to availability under these agreements,  the
Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 25% of its total assets, of which only 5% may
be borrowed  from  CAPCO,  at the lending  institution's  borrowing  rate plus a
markup.  The Fund had no borrowings under either of these agreements  during the
six-month period ended June 30, 1997.

(3) Transactions with Manager
A. Administrative  Fees - The Fund has entered into an Administration  Agreement
with USAA  Investment  Management  Company (the Manager) under which the Manager
provides  administrative  services to the Fund. Prior to May 1, 1997, the Fund's
administrative  fee was  computed  at .02% of its  annual  average  net  assets.
Beginning May 1, 1997,  the Fund pays the Manager a monthly  administrative  fee
which on an annual  basis is equal to the lesser of .06% of the  average  annual
net assets of the Fund or the amount that brings the Fund's total  expense ratio
to .18% of its annual average net assets, including the Fund's pro rata share of
the expenses of the Portfolio.

The  Manager has  voluntarily  agreed to  reimburse  expenses of the Fund to the
extent necessary to limit the expenses of the Fund to .18% of its annual average
net  assets  (including  the  Fund's  pro  rata  share  of the  expenses  of the
Portfolio).  Under the terms of a Third Party Feeder Fund Agreement  between the
Company (on behalf of the Fund), the Manager,  and Bankers Trust,  Bankers Trust
has  voluntarily  agreed  to  waive  expenses  of the  Portfolio  to the  extent
necessary to limit the expenses of the  Portfolio to .08% of its annual  average
net assets.

B. Transfer Agent's Fees - The Fund has entered into a Transfer Agency Agreement
with USAA Transfer Agency Company, d/b/a USAA Shareholder Account Services,
an affiliate of the Manager, under which transfer agency services are provided
to the Fund.  The Fund  does not pay for  these  services.  The  Transfer  Agent
assesses shareholders an annual account maintenance fee of $10 to cover costs of
maintaining  shareholder accounts. This fee is waived on accounts with a balance
of $10,000 or more.

C.  Underwriting  Agreement - The Manager  provides  exclusive  underwriting and
distribution  of the Fund's  shares on a  continuing  best  efforts  basis.  The
Manager receives no commissions or fees for this service.

D. Management  Agreement - The Manager serves as investment  adviser to the Fund
and is  responsible  for  monitoring  the services  provided to the Portfolio by
Bankers Trust.  While the Fund  maintains its  investment in the Portfolio,  the
Manager receives no fee for this service.

(4) Transactions with Affiliates

Certain directors and officers of the Fund are also directors,  officers, and/or

Equity 500 Index Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 1997
(Unaudited)

(1)   Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Organization
The  Equity  500  Index  Portfolio  (the  Portfolio)  is  registered  under  the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Act), as amended,  as an open-end management
investment  company.  The  Portfolio  was  organized  on December 11, 1991 as an
unincorporated  trust under the laws of New York,  and  commenced  operations on
December 31, 1992.  The  Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the
Trustees) to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

B. Security Valuation
The  Portfolio's  investments  are valued each  business  day by an  independent
pricing  service  approved  by  the  Trustees.  Securities  traded  on  national
exchanges or traded in the NASDAQ  National Market System are valued at the last
sales  prices  reported  at the close of  business  each  day.  Over-the-counter
securities  not  included  in the  NASDAQ  National  Market  System  and  listed
securities  for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and
asked prices.  Short-term  obligations  with remaining  maturities of 60 days or
less are valued at amortized  cost which,  with accrued  interest,  approximates
value.  Securities  for which  quotations  are not  available are stated at fair
value as determined by the Trustees.

C. Security Transactions and Interest Income
Security  transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.  Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis and includes amortization of premium and discount on investments. Realized
gains and losses from  securities  transactions  are recorded on the  identified
cost basis.

All of the net investment  income and realized and  unrealized  gains and losses
from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among the
investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

D. Futures Contracts
The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts which are contracts to 
buy a standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future date. 
The Portfolio is required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount 
equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount.  Subsequent  payments are
made or received by the Portfolio each day, dependent on the daily fluctuations
in the value of the underlying  security,  and are  recorded  for  financial
statement  purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio.  The 
Portfolio's  investment in the financial futures contracts is designed to 
closely replicate the benchmark index used by the Portfolio.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the
board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

E. Federal Income Taxes
It is the  Portfolio's  policy to comply with the  requirements  of the Internal
Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

F. Other
The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.

(2)   Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
The Portfolio has entered into an  Administration  and Services  Agreement  with
Bankers Trust Company (Bankers Trust).  Under this  Administration  and Services
Agreement,  Bankers Trust provides administrative,  custody, transfer agency and
shareholder  services to the  Portfolio in return for a fee  computed  daily and
paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05 of 1% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily
net  assets.  For the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997,  this  fee  aggregated
$547,538.

The Portfolio has entered into an Advisory  Agreement with Bankers Trust.  Under
this  Advisory  Agreement,  the  Portfolio  pays  Bankers  Trust an advisory fee
computed  daily  and  paid  monthly  at an  annual  rate  of  0.10  of 1% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997,
this fee aggregated $1,095,075.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily  undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Portfolio,  to the extent necessary,  to limit all expenses to 0.08 of 1% of the
average  daily net assets of the  Portfolio.  For the six months  ended June 30,
1997, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $783,746.

Certain  trustees and officers of the  Portfolio  are also  directors,  officers
and/or employees of Edgewood  Services,  Inc. None of the trustees so affiliated
received compensation for services as trustees of the Portfolio. Similarly, none
of the Portfolio's officers received compensation from the Portfolio.

For the six months  ended June 30,  1997,  the Equity 500 Index  Portfolio  paid
brokerage commissions of $169,740.

(3)   Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other
than  short-term  obligations,  for the six  months  ended June 30,  1997,  were
$394,246,882 and  $126,706,581,  respectively.  For federal income tax purposes,
the tax  basis of  investments  held at June 30,  1997 was  $1,680,085,503.  The
aggregate gross  unrealized  appreciation  was  $828,647,371,  and the aggregate
gross unrealized depreciation for all investments was $17,383,366 as of June 30,
1997.

(4)   Futures Contracts
A summary of obligations  under these financial  instruments at June 30, 1997 is
as follows:

                                                           Market    Unrealized
    Type of Future     Expiration  Contracts  Position     Value    Depreciation
    --------------     ---------   ---------  --------     -----    ------------

margin requirements on open futures contracts.
