Dear Customer,

In this space last year, I wrote to you about the significant changes taking
place within our investment organization. Our goal was and is to enhance our
portfolio management capabilities in order to better assist you in achieving
your long term savings and investment objectives. As I reflect back on the
initiatives that were undertaken in 1995, I am happy to report that the positive
changes that were implemented have brought about a renewed confidence in the
abilities of the investment team and portfolio management strategies that are
now in place. This confidence is partially due to the improvements in our equity
and balanced fund performance rankings that were evident in 1995. These 
improvements are addressed in greater detail within the Fund Manager Reports 
which follow, but, in summary, both the Aetna Variable Fund and the Aetna 
Investment Advisers Fund, Inc. generated better performance within their 
competitive universes in 1995 than was the case in 1994.

The positive changes that have taken place include the addition of eight equity 
and fixed income investment professionals within the last two years, upgrading 
the asset class specialization within the department as well as our quantitative
and fundamental analytical skills. Information systems hardware, software, 
database services and support staff have also been enhanced to improve the 
speed and frequency of information delivery. These changes reflect our belief 
that the rapid receipt and analysis of quality information is a critical success
factor for pursuing outstanding investment performance.

Our investment team and information management capabilities served us well in
what was, quite simply, one of the best years on record for U.S. stock and bond
investors in 1995. Money poured into mutual funds at a record pace in response
to the stock and bond markets' exceptionally strong returns, which, in turn, can
be primarily attributed to the ideal combination of favorable interest rates,
low inflation and attractive corporate earnings. Large domestic stocks, as
characterized by the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index, an unmanaged index,
led the way among investment asset classes, providing a return in excess of 30%
for the year. While the results of 1995 are certainly no guarantee of things
to come, the retirement savings accounts and variable life policies of many of 
our customers enjoyed an attractive increase in value during the year as a 
result of the generous financial markets and the commensurate returns of our 
investment funds.

Our efforts to successfully manage your investments for the long term, and to
assist your pursuit of achieving retirement security, were further emphasized in
1995 through the launch of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc., an organization that
offers a comprehensive approach to the information, product choices and service
options you will need to develop an effective retirement strategy.

Aetna Retirement Services is built on an understanding of how our customers view
retirement. Many of you have told us that retirement is a new beginning -- a
chance to 

<PAGE>

return to school, start a second career or pursue a long-held dream.
You've also said that you need assistance in understanding how to invest in
order to achieve the financial freedom to pursue any number of retirement goals.

Our formula for redefining retirement is sophisticated yet simple: Build for
retirement; manage for life. By continuing to provide a wide range of products
and investment options, a team of retirement specialists to help you design a
customized retirement strategy, and life insurance to help provide for your
family, we can improve your ability to enjoy financial independence at
retirement and beyond.

We are excited about the value which the Aetna Retirement Services organization
can deliver to each one of our customers, and look forward to working closely
with you in the years ahead. Thank you for your business and for your continued
support.

Sincerely,

/s/ Daniel P. Kearney

ALIAC's General Account assets are in excellent condition

To illustrate the value of ALIAC's General Account investment portfolio, it has
been broken down by asset type and credit quality. This breakdown is based on
the market value of the assets. We believe the salient points are:

1.  The overall portfolio is high quality. Over 45% of invested assets are rated
AAA or are cash and equivalents, while the average rating for the debt
securities in the portfolio is AA-.
2.  Below investment grade securities are limited -- roughly 5% of debt
securities.
3.  Direct investment in commercial real estate loans is minimal -- two-tenths
of one percent of invested assets.
4.  The amount of assets in default is negligible -- one issue comprising .0002%
of invested assets.
5.  Most of the portfolio is comprised of publicly traded securities -- 99%.
6.  We have continued to reduce our investments in residential mortgage-backed
securities as a result of changes in their risk and return characteristics,
and are comfortable with our current exposure.
7.  We have increased our holdings of other loan-backed securities. These are
comprised of asset-backed securities (backed by auto loans, credit card
receivables, etc.) and securitized pools of commercial and multifamily
mortgages. These bonds are predominantly AAA rated, and are not subject to
the prepayment risk of residential mortgages.

ALIAC's assets: What we own to back our Fixed Annuities, Guaranteed Accumulation
Account, Universal Life, and Settlement Obligations.

                                  Fixed Account

For calendar year 1995, the bond market reversed its dismal 1994 performance by
providing total returns of nearly 20% (considering both dividend yield and
capital appreciation). Moderate economic growth, a rebounding dollar, foreign
demand for U.S. bonds, and high levels of investible liquidity all contributed
to this performance. Interest rates fell nearly 2.00% for the 30-year Treasury
and over 2.25% across all maturities from 2 years to 10 years. Based on the
weakening economy and benign inflation, the Federal Reserve lowered interest
rates at mid-year and at year-end, and as we enter 1996 the expectation is for
further reductions in Fed Funds from the current 5.50% level.

Corporate bonds were the best performers for the year, returning 22.25%
according to Lehman Brothers. Our allocation to corporates has increased
steadily from 27% at year-end 1993 to 41% at year-end 1994 to our current 51%.
This strategic shift we initiated in 1993 has enabled us to capitalize on these
high returns. We remain positive on the corporate bond market, but will adopt a
more cautious posture, purchasing high quality corporate bonds that are expected
to perform well in a weakening economic environment.

Since most of our increased corporate allocation came from reducing exposure to
mortgage-backed securities, we were able to avoid much of the prepayment related
fears and underperformance in this sector. For the year, mortgage-backed
securities underperformed corporates by nearly 4.00% and Treasuries by 1.50%.
However, their return of nearly 17% was still very good on an absolute basis.
Our allocation to this sector now stands at 23.1%, much of that with some
prepayment protection, but we have no plans to increase from these levels.

Looking ahead to 1996, we see economic weakness and expect volatility arising
from the existing economic and political uncertainty. Key factors are a budget
deal (or lack thereof), election year politics, uncertainty as to the magnitude
of Federal Reserve easing to come, the decline in corporate earnings, and the
extent to which foreign economies recover. In the context of this environment,
the Fixed Account will continue to maintain a high quality, diversified
portfolio of assets which will enable us to continue providing attractive
long-term returns and security to our contractholders.

                      Aetna Guaranteed Accumulation Account

New rates are announced monthly for the Guaranteed Accumulation Account (GAA).
Typically, we have a short-term offering with a maturity of approximately one
year and a long-term offering with a maturity of four to five years. The
specific maturity offered may vary from month to month.

Rates for new GAA offerings are based on prevailing market interest rates. This
gives clients an opportunity each month to invest in a guaranteed fixed rate
product with a competitive rate.

The portfolio backing the GAA is invested primarily in high-grade corporate
bonds and asset-backed securities. As of December 31, 1995 these positions were
72% and 17% of the portfolio, respectively. Although the specific mix of
securities in the portfolio may change from time to time, the portfolio targets
an average credit rating of "A".

GAA also offers investors the ability to withdraw their funds at any time
subject to a market value adjustment (MVA). The MVA will vary based on market
interest rates, just as the value of fixed income securities will change as
interest rates change. Thus, clients taking funds out of the GAA may find the
proceeds to be larger or smaller than the accumulated value in the account. This
difference can be determined before making the actual withdrawal.

Aetna Variable Fund achieved a total return of 32.25% (net of investment
management fees and other fund expenses), for the year ended December 31, 1995,
compared to a 37.50% return for the S&P 500, an unmanaged index. This one year
result placed the Fund in the top 65% (173 out of 267) of all Growth and Income
variable funds tracked by Morningstar. Within the same universe of funds, Aetna
Variable Fund placed in the top 94% (130 out of 138) and 48% (16 out of 33) for
the five and ten year periods ended December 31, 1995, respectively. Competitve
rankings versus the Lipper universe of growth and income variable funds for the
one, five and ten year periods ended December 31, 1995 were 46% (64 out of 139),
85% (46 out of 54), and 64% (16 out of 25), respectively.

The past year was an amazing one for the U.S. stock market. The year was also
one full of important improvements in the management of your Fund. Additions to
the portfolio management team have led to some major enhancements to the
investment process used in the management of Aetna Variable Fund. Increased
emphasis has been placed upon a very disciplined, objective stock selection
process driven by a set of "factors," or characteristics, which our research has
shown have lead to superior performance in the past. These factors include
positive earnings surprises, upward revisions of earnings estimates, low
price/earnings, low price to book value, and high insider ownership and stock
purchases. As has been the case for most periods in the past, these factors were
well-rewarded by the market over the past year.

Another important step taken in the management of your fund over the past year
was the increased diversification built into the portfolio. Not only do we hold
many more securities than had been the case previously, which helps us keep
transaction costs low and control stock-specific risk, but we also participate
in a number of diversifying asset classes which we believe will both enhance
returns and reduce overall volatility in the long run. Admittedly, diversifying
our core domestic large cap portfolio by acquiring more small cap and
international stocks has not helped our returns this year. For example, the
Russell 2000 Small Cap Stock Index returned only 28.44% during 1995, compared to
37.50% for the S&P 500. International stocks fared even worse, turning in an
11.55% return (as indicated by the MSCI EAFE - Europe, Australia, Far East
Index) over the same period. However, during most 12 month periods in the past,
small cap and international stocks have achieved returns higher than the S&P
500, so what we have experienced is a bit unusual and, we believe, not likely to
be the rule for the future.

<PAGE>

On December 31, 1995, the asset allocation breakdown of your fund was as
follows:

Large Cap Stocks          74.0%
Mid Cap Stocks             7.7%
Small Cap Stocks           6.6%

                         ------

As we look ahead to 1996, we observe that conditions appear to be favorable for
stock investors. Although corporate profit growth has slowed and probably will
continue to do so, inflation remains under control, interest rates are quite
low, and monetary policy seems to point towards continued easing--all positive
factors for stocks. In addition, since all financial assets compete with each
other for the investor's dollar, the expected return of stocks compared to bonds
is an important relationship, and one which, we believe, favors stocks at this
time. We remain confident that our well-diversified, risk-controlled approach to
equity investing will prove its worth over the long run.

Aetna Income Shares generated a return of 18.24% (net of investment management
fees and other fund expenses), for the year ended December 31,1995, as compared
to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index return of 18.47%. The Fund's
performance ranked in the top 52% (125 out of 239) of the Morningstar universe
of variable annuity corporate bond funds for the one year period. Within the
same universe of funds, Aetna Income Shares placed in the top 45% (68 out of
152) and 17% (15 out of 89) for the five and ten year periods ended December 31,
1995, respectively.

1995 proved to be an exceptional year for the domestic bond market. The Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Index, representing the vast segment of investment quality
bonds, recorded the third highest return on record since its inception in 1976
(source: Lehman Brothers). This came on the heels of 1994 which ended as one of
the worst years for bond returns in nearly twenty years. The 1995 bull market
was fueled by several factors, including the Federal Reserve's shift in monetary
policy to lower interest rates, slow economic growth, lower than expected
inflation and central bank intervention to support the dollar.

The Fund's defensive (relatively short duration) posture early in the year was
one factor that detracted from performance in the first quarter as the bond
market rallied in anticipation of a Federal Reserve move towards lower interest
rates. An overweighted allocation to the corporate sector and an underweighted
position in mortgage backed securities added incremental returns that partially
offset the short duration stance. Partially as a result of strong demand,
corporate bonds were the best performing investment grade sector of the bond
market for the year. Heightened concerns over accelerated prepayments caused
returns of mortgage-backed securities to lag other sectors of the bond market.

We expect the Federal Reserve to nudge interest rates lower in 1996 as the
economy is likely to remain sluggish. Inflation is low and we expect it to
remain subdued over the next six months. The outlook for bonds should remain
positive over the next six months; therefore, we will maintain a slightly longer
duration than the broad market indices such as the Lehman Aggregate. With a
slowing economy, we are a bit more cautious on the outlook for corporate bonds
given their small, incremental yield advantage over Treasuries. Emphasis will be
placed on more defensive and less cyclical issuers. Lower interest rates should
continue to put pressure on the mortgage-backed sector which we will continue to
underweight in the portfolio.

                           Aetna Variable Encore Fund

The Aetna Variable Encore Fund generated a total return of 6.05% (net of
investment management fees and other fund expenses), for the year ended December
31, 1995, as compared to the 5.35% return of the Donoghue Money Market Fund
index over the same period. This result placed the Fund in the top 12% (27 out
of 219) of the universe of variable money market funds reported by Morningstar.
Within the same universe of funds, Aetna Variable Encore Fund placed in the top
14% (21 out of 155) and 18% (19 out of 103) for the five and ten year periods
ended December 31, 1995, respectively.

After nearly a year of sharply rising interest rates, the Federal Reserve moved
to reverse monetary policy in 1995 by cutting the Federal Funds rate by .25% in
July. Since then, the Fed has acted to reduce short term interest rates on one
more occasion in response to a slowing domestic economy and low inflation.
Market anticipation of additional cuts have further pushed short term interest
rates below the current Fed Funds level. The result has been an inversion of the
money market yield curve where longer term rates are actually lower than shorter
term rates.

Our strategy to maintain a portfolio maturity that was relatively shorter than
the average money market fund and good security selection were the major
contributors to the Fund's above average performance. In targeting shorter
maturities and securities with adjustable rate features, the Fund was able to
take advantage of the higher yields offered in the front end of the curve
(shorter term issues) for most of the year.

We expect short term interest rates to decline into the first half of 1996. The
economy remains in a slow growth trend as evidenced by weak consumer demand and
slowing industrial production. Monetary policy is also currently restrictive and
with little indication of inflationary pressures, and the Federal Reserve is
likely to continue with its easing (rate reducing) cycle. The on going budget
impasse and lack of data as a result of the government shutdown will cause the
Fed to proceed cautiously. As long as the yield curve remains inverted, the Fund
will maintain its strategy of targeting an average portfolio maturity that is
slightly shorter than the average money market fund.

[end line chart]

The Aetna Investment Advisors Fund generated a total return of 27.23% (net of
investment management fees and other fund expenses), for the calendar year ended
December 31, 1995, as compared to a return of 29.62% for the 60%/40% weighting
of the S&P 500 and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, both unmanaged indices. The
Fund's performance compared favorably with its universe of competitors, ranking
in the top 19% (60 out of 322) of the balanced variable funds reported by
Morningstar for the year. Within the same universe of funds, Aetna Investment
Advisers Fund placed in the top 66% (136 out of 205) for the five year period
ended December 31, 1995. The strong performance of the Fund during the past year
is reflective of our positive view of both stocks and bonds. We maintained low
levels of actual cash during the year.

Our stock allocation ranged from a neutral to an overweighted position with
continued emphasis on large-cap stocks. The small-cap and mid-cap stocks we
held, while lagging large-cap stocks in terms of performance, provided positive
returns. Management of all equity categories was significantly enhanced during
the past year as we incorporated a more quantitative and disciplined process in
evaluating industries and companies.

Our bond allocation remained neutral but was positioned with a longer duration
profile which allowed the Fund to benefit handsomely as interest rates declined
across the yield curve. We remained overweighted in longer duration U.S.
Treasuries and high quality corporate bonds. Our exposure to domestic and
international high-yield securities, although modest, also enhanced performance
results.

Our view of the financial markets generally remains positive. Moderate economic
growth with low inflation should continue to foster favorable interest rate
levels. While interest rates are not likely to decline in the magnitude we
experienced in 1995, we do not believe that a significant rise in rates is
likely. Corporate earnings growth, while abating, is expected to remain above
the historical average, allowing equity investments to remain modestly
attractive. In the environment of slowing earnings growth, though, individual
stock selection will increase in importance.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Aetna Variable Fund (Variable Fund) is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management investment company whose shares
are currently sold to Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("Company"), an
Aetna Life Insurance Company Separate Account, and other shareholders of the
Variable Fund only through reinvestment of dividends. The Company's shares are
allocated to certain of its variable life/annuity accounts. The Company's
accounts and affiliates held 98% of the Variable Fund's shares outstanding at
December 31, 1995. The investment objective of Variable Fund is to maximize
total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks and
securities convertible into common stock.

Aetna Income Shares (Income Shares) is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management investment company whose shares
are currently sold to the Company for allocation to certain of its variable
life/annuity accounts and other shareholders of Income Shares only through
reinvestment of dividends. The Company's accounts and affiliates held 99% of
Income Shares' outstanding shares at December 31, 1995. The investment objective
of Income Shares is to maximize total return, consistent with reasonable risk,
through investments in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of debt
securities.

Aetna Variable Encore Fund (Encore Fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management investment company
organized by the Company to serve as an investment vehicle for certain of the
Company's variable life/annuity accounts. The Company's accounts held 100% of
Encore Fund's outstanding shares at December 31, 1995. The investment objective
of Encore Fund is to provide high current return, consistent with preservation
of capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market
instruments.

Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc. (Advisers Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified open-end management investment
company whose shares are currently sold to the Company for allocation to certain
of its variable life/annuity separate accounts. The separate accounts held 100%
of Advisers Fund's shares outstanding at December 31, 1995. The investment
objective of Advisers Fund is to produce the maximum investment return
consistent with reasonable safety of principal.

Variable Fund, Income Shares, Encore Fund, and Advisers Fund are referred to
individually as a "Fund", collectively the "Funds".

The accompanying financial statements of the Funds have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts
reported therein. Although actual results could differ from these estimates, any
such differences are expected to be immaterial to the net assets of the Funds.

   a.  Valuation of Investments
   Investments are stated at market values based upon closing sales prices as
   reported on national securities exchanges or, for over-the-counter
   securities, at the mean of the bid and asked prices. Short-term investments
   maturing in more than sixty days for which market quotations are readily
   available are valued at current market value. Short-term investments maturing
   in less than sixty days are valued at amortized cost which when combined with
   accrued interest approximates market. Securities for which market quotations
   are not considered to be readily available are valued in good faith using
   methods approved by the Board of Trustees/Directors.

   The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars.
   Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a
   foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of
   exchange at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of securities, income
   receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
   prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

   b.  Option Contracts
   The Funds may purchase put and call options and write covered call options as
   a hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings or to
   increase market exposure.

   Option contracts are valued daily. Unrealized gains or losses are recorded
   based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the option
   is traded.

   The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the
   option contract. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a
   written call option, the purchase cost of the security for a written put
   option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is
   adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

   The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity
   for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is
   exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a
   loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is
   exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium
   whether or not the option is exercised. Risks may also arise from an illiquid
   secondary market, or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms
   of the contract.

   c.  Futures and Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
   A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a
   specific amount of a commodity, security or financial instrument including an
   index of stocks at a set price on a future date. The Funds "sell" futures
   contracts as a hedge against declines in the value of portfolio securities.
   The Funds may also purchase futures contracts to gain market exposure as it
   may be more cost effective than purchasing individual securities.

   Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund is required to deposit with
   a broker, an amount (initial margin) equal to a percentage of the purchase
   price indicated by the futures contract. Subsequent deposits (variation
   margin) are received or paid each day by each Fund equal to the daily
   fluctuations in the market value of the contract. These amounts are recorded
   by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When a contract is closed, each
   Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
   value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it
   was closed. Generally, futures contracts are closed prior to expiration.

   A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement to pay or
   receive specific amounts of a currency at a future date in exchange for
   another currency at an agreed upon exchange rate. The Funds may use forward
   foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency assets.
   Contracts are recorded at market value and marked-to-market daily.

   The risks associated with futures and forward foreign currency exchange
   contracts may arise from an imperfect correlation between the change in
   market value of the securities held by the Funds and the price of futures
   contracts. Risks may also arise from an illiquid secondary market, or from
   the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract.

   Realized and unrealized gains or losses on futures and foreign currency
   exchange contracts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
   For federal tax purposes, any futures and forward foreign currency exchange
   contracts which remain open at the end of the fiscal year are
   marked-to-market and the resultant net gain or loss is included in federal
   taxable income.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

   d. Federal Income Taxes
   As qualified regulated investment companies, the Funds are relieved of
   federal income and excise taxes by distributing their net taxable investment
   income and capital gains, if any, in compliance with the applicable
   provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

   e.  Distributions
   The Funds distribute all net investment income and net capital gains, if any,
   to shareholders semi-annually. Distributions from net investment income are
   based on taxable net income. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend
   date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
   income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
   principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
   foreign currency-related contracts and deferred losses on wash sales.

   f.  Other
   Investment transactions are accounted for on the day following trade-date,
   except same day settlements which are accounted for on the trade date.
   Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on
   securities purchased are amortized, using an effective yield method, over the
   life of the respective security. Dividend income and stock splits are
   recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment
   transactions are determined on an identified cost basis.

2. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Expenses
   Each Fund pays the Company (its investment adviser) an investment advisory
   fee at an annual rate of one-quarter of one percent (.25%) of its average
   daily net assets.

   In addition, the Funds have entered into a management agreement (Agreement)
   with the Company. Under the Agreement, the Company is paid a fee for certain
   administrative and personnel services incurred by the Funds. This fee is
   equal to the direct costs incurred by the Company to administer the funds.
   For the year ended December 31, 1995, each Fund paid the Company the
   following administrative personnel and service fees:

                                                    Administrative
                                                    Personnel and
                                                     Service Fees
    Aetna Variable Fund                             $1,869,356
    Aetna Income Shares                                206,010
    Aetna Variable Encore Fund                         118,541
    Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc.               327,918

   Other than expenses specifically assumed by the Company under the Agreement,
   all expenses incurred in the operation of the Fund are borne by the Fund.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments
   Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term
   investments, for all Funds except Aetna Variable Encore Fund, a money market
   fund, for the year ended December 31, 1995 were:

                                                 Cost of        Proceeds from
                                                Purchases           Sales
                                            --------------     --------------

The Shareholders and Board of Trustees/Directors of Aetna Variable Fund, Aetna
Income Shares, Aetna Variable Encore Fund and Investment Advisers Fund, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Aetna
Variable Fund, Aetna Income Shares, Aetna Variable Encore Fund and Aetna
Investment Advisers Fund, Inc. (the Funds), including the portfolios of
investments, as of December 31, 1995, the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the
years in the two-year period then ended, and financial highlights for each of
the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aetna
Variable Fund, Aetna Income Shares, Aetna Variable Encore Fund and Aetna
Investment Advisers Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, the results of their
operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of
the years in the two-year period then ended and financial highlights for each of
the years in the five-year period then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
