INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current return,
consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in
high-quality money market instruments. The Fund's investment objective is
fundamental and may not be changed without the vote of a majority of its
outstanding voting securities as defined by the Investment Company Act of
1940 ("1940 Act"). There can be no assurance that the Fund will meet its
investment objective.
INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
Investment Policies The Fund will invest primarily in (a) money market
instruments that have a maturity at the time of purchase, as defined under
federal securities laws, of 397 days or less (762 days or less for U.S.
Government securities) and (b) debt securities with a longer maturity, if the
Fund has the absolute right to sell such securities back to the issuer for at
least the face amount of the debt obligation within 397 days after the date
of purchase. The Fund invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds;
obligations of agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government;
obligations of domestic banks and U.S. dollar denominated obligations of
foreign banks, finance company commercial paper, corporate commercial paper
(including variable-rate instruments); documented discount notes of banks,
domestic banker's acceptances eligible for discount at the Federal Reserve,
Yankee certificates of deposit, Yankee commercial paper, Eurodollar
securities, repurchase agreements, corporate bonds and notes and other debt
instruments, and may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery
basis. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in
securities or obligations of foreign issuers. All securities and obligations
purchased by the Fund will be U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund may engage in
transactions on a when-issued or forward commitment basis and may enter into
forward currency contracts; however, the Fund does not intend to invest more
than 5% of its total assets in such securities. The average maturity of the
portfolio will depend on the investment adviser's appraisal of money market
conditions; however, it will not exceed 90 days. All earned income and
realized capital gains will be reinvested.
In addition, the Fund will invest at least 95% of its total assets in
high-quality securities. High-quality securities are those receiving the
highest credit rating by any two rating agencies (or one, if only one agency
has rated the security). High-quality securities may also include unrated
securities if the investment adviser determines the security to be of
comparable quality. The remainder of the Fund's assets will be invested in
securities rated within the two highest rating categories by any two rating
agencies (or one, if only one rating agency has rated the security) and
unrated securities if the investment adviser determines the security to be of
comparable quality. With respect to these securities, the Fund may not invest
more than 1% of the market value of its total assets or $1 million, whichever
is greater, in the securities or obligations of any one issuer. The Fund will
use nationally recognized rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's
Corporation and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. when determining security
credit ratings. All investments will be determined by the Investment Adviser
to present minimal credit risks.
Industry Concentration The Fund will not concentrate its investments in any
one industry, and, therefore the Fund will not invest 25% or more of its
total assets in securities issued by companies principally engaged in one
industry. This limitation will not, however, apply to securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities;
securities invested in, or repurchase agreements for, U.S. Government
securities; and certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, or securities
of banks and bank holding companies. For purposes of this restriction,
finance companies will be classified as separate industries according to the
end users of their services, such as automobile finance, computer finance and
consumer finance. Also, the Fund will not hold securities constituting more
than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer or hold more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. This latter
restriction applies only to 75% of the Fund's total assets and does not
include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies
and instrumentalities.
Illiquid and Restricted Securities The Fund may invest up to 10% of its
total assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities are securities that
are not readily marketable or cannot be disposed of promptly within seven
days in the ordinary course of business without taking a materially reduced
price. In addition, the Fund may invest in securities that are subject to
legal or contractual restrictions as to resale, including securities
purchased under Rule 144A and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Because of the absence of a trading market for some of these securities, the
Fund may take longer to liquidate the position and may realize less than the
amount originally paid by the Fund. The Investment Adviser, in accordance
with the powers adopted by the Board of Trustees, shall determine whether a
particular security is deemed to be liquid based on the trading markets for
the specific security and other factors.
4
<PAGE>
International Securities The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets
in U.S. dollar denominated securities of obligations of foreign issuers.
Investments in securities of foreign issuers involve risks not present in
domestic markets. Such risks may include: currency fluctuations; less
liquidity; price or income volatility; less government supervision and
regulation of stock exchanges where the securities may be traded, brokers and
listed companies; possible difficulty in obtaining and enforcing judgments
against foreign entities; adverse foreign political and economic
developments; different accounting procedures and auditing standards; the
possible imposition of withholding taxes on interest income payable on
securities; the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign assets; the
possible establishment of exchange controls or other foreign laws or
restrictions which might adversely affect the payment and transferability of
principal and interest on securities; higher transaction costs; possible
settlement delays and less publicly available information about foreign
issuers.
Repurchase Agreements Under a repurchase agreement, the Fund may acquire a
debt instrument for a relatively short period subject to an obligation by the
seller to repurchase and by the Fund to resell the instrument at a fixed
price and time. Assets may be invested in repurchase agreements with domestic
banks and broker-dealers. Such agreements, although fully collateralized,
involve the risk that the seller of the securities may fail to repurchase
them. In that event, the Fund may incur costs in liquidating the collateral
or a loss if the collateral declines in value. If the default on the part of
the seller is due to insolvency and the seller initiates bankruptcy
proceedings, the ability of the Fund to liquidate the collateral may be
delayed or limited. The Fund's Board of Trustees has established credit
standards for issuers of repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund.
Securities Lending The Fund may lend portfolio securities; however, the
value of the loaned securities (together with all other assets that are
loaned, including those subject to repurchase agreements) may not exceed
one-third of the Fund's total assets. The Fund will not lend portfolio
securities to affiliates. Though fully collateralized, lending portfolio
securities involves certain risks, including the possibility that the
borrower may become insolvent or default on the loan. In the event of a
disparity between the value of the loaned security and the collateral, there
is the additional risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities or
provide additional collateral. A loan may be terminated at any time by the
borrower or lender upon proper notice.
Borrowing The Fund may borrow up to 5% of the value of its total assets for
temporary or emergency purposes. The Fund does not intend to borrow for
leveraging purposes. It has the authority to do so, but only if, after the
borrowing, the value of the Fund's net assets, including proceeds from the
borrowings, is equal to at least 300% of all outstanding borrowings.
Leveraging can increase the volatility of the Fund since it exaggerates the
effects of changes in the value of the securities purchased with the borrowed
funds.
The Fund is subject to further investment restrictions described in the SAI.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
Trustees The operations of the Fund are managed under the direction of the
Board of Trustees (Trustees). The Trustees set broad policies for the Fund.
Information about the Trustees is found in the SAI.
Investment Adviser ALIAC, the investment adviser for the Fund, is a
Connecticut insurance corporation located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford,
Connecticut 06156. It is an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna
Retirement Services, Inc., which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of
Aetna Life and Casualty Company. ALIAC is registered with the SEC as an
investment adviser and manages over $22 billion in assets including those
held by the Fund.
Under an investment advisory agreement with the Fund, ALIAC is responsible
for managing the assets of the Fund in accordance with the Fund investment
objective and policies. ALIAC determines what securities and other
instruments are purchased and sold by the Fund and is responsible for
obtaining and evaluating financial data relevant to the Fund's portfolio.
ALIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund.
Portfolio Management Jeanne Wong-Boehm, Managing Director, ALIAC, has been
the Portfolio Manager for Aetna Variable Encore Fund for over 6 years. Ms.
Wong-Boehm joined ALIAC in 1983 as a fixed income portfolio analyst, and
shortly thereafter assumed portfolio responsibilities for various general
account segments within the Aetna group of companies. In 1989 she was also
assigned primary responsibility for the money market operations.
Expenses and Fund Administration Under an Administrative Services Agreement
with the Fund effective May 1, 1996, ALIAC will provide all administrative
services necessary for the Fund's operations and will be responsible for the
supervision of the Fund's other service providers. ALIAC will also assume all
ordinary recurring direct costs of the Fund such as custodian fees, directors
fees, transfer agency costs and accounting expenses. For the services
provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, ALIAC will receive an
annual fee, payable monthly, at a rate of 0.10% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Declaration of Trust The Fund was organized as a "Massachusetts business
trust" under the laws of Massachusetts on January 25, 1984. It began
operations on May 1, 1984 upon succeeding to the assets of Aetna Variable
Encore Fund, Inc., a corporation that was formed in 1974. Massachusetts law
provides that shareholders of the Fund can, under certain circumstances, be
held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. The Fund has been
structured, and will be operated in such a way, so as to ensure as much as
possible, that shareholders will not be liable for obligations of the Fund.
The Declaration of Trust (Declaration) contains an express disclaimer of
shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Fund under Massachusetts
law, and requires that notification of this disclaimer be given in each
agreement, obligation or instrument entered into by the Fund or the Trustees.
A more complete discussion of potential liability of shareholders of the Fund
under Massachusetts law is contained in the SAI under "Description of Shares
- -- Shareholder and Trustee Liability."
Capital Stock The Declaration permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited
number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest in the Fund. All
shares are nonassessable, other than as disclosed above. There are no
preemptive rights.
As of March 31, 1996, there were 39,556,634 shares of the Fund outstanding,
all of which were owned by ALIAC and its affiliates and held in separate
accounts to fund obligations under VA Contracts and VLI Policies.
Shareholder Meetings The Fund is not required to hold annual shareholder
meetings. The Declaration provides for meetings of shareholders to elect
Trustees at such time as may be determined by the Trustees or as required by
the 1940 Act. If requested by the holders of at least 10% of the Fund's
outstanding shares, the Fund will hold a shareholder meeting for the purpose
of voting on the removal of one or more Trustees and will assist with
communications concerning that shareholder meeting.
Voting Rights Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share
held and fractional votes for fractional shares held on matters submitted to
the shareholders of the Fund. Voting rights are not cumulative. Persons who
select the Fund for investment through their VA Contract or VLI Policy are
not the shareholders of the Fund, but may have the right to direct the voting
of Fund shares at shareholder meetings if required by law. Contract holders
and/or Participant voting rights are discussed in the prospectus for the
applicable VA Contract or VLI Policy.
TAX MATTERS
The following discussion of federal income tax consequences is based on tax
laws and regulations in effect on the date of this Prospectus, and is subject
to change by legislative or administrative action. The following discussion
is for general information only; a more detailed discussion of federal income
tax considerations is contained in the SAI. The term "shareholders", as used
below, refers to insurance company separate accounts who hold shares in
connection with variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts.
Holders of VA Contracts or VLI Policies should consult the prospectuses of
their respective contracts or policies for information concerning federal
income tax consequences to them.
The Fund The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company by satisfying the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") concerning: (1) the
diversification of assets; (2) the distribution of income; and (3) the source
of income. It is the policy of the Fund to distribute all of its investment
income (net of expenses) and any capital gains (net of capital losses) to
shareholders in accordance with the timing requirements imposed by the Code.
In addition, the Fund intends to comply with the variable asset
diversification requirements under Section 817(h) of the Code, which are
described more fully in the SAI.
Fund Distributions Distributions by the Fund are taxable, if at all, to the
insurance company separate accounts, and not to VA Contract or VLI Policy
holders. Contract holders and/or Participants should review the prospectus
for their VA Contract or VLI Policy for information regarding the tax
treatment of their contracts and policies and distributions from the Fund to
the separate accounts.
SALE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of the Fund are sold and redeemed at their net asset value next
determined after receipt of a purchase or redemption order in acceptable
form. No sales charge or redemption charge is made.
6
<PAGE>
NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share (NAV) of the Fund is determined as of 4:15 p.m.
Eastern time, on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for
trading. The NAV is computed by dividing the total value of the Fund's
securities, plus any cash or other assets less all liabilities (including
accrued expenses), by the number of shares outstanding.
Portfolio securities are valued primarily by independent pricing services,
based on market quotations. Short-term debt instruments maturing in less than
60 days are valued at amortized cost. Securities for which market quotations
are not readily available are valued at their fair value in such manner as
may be determined under the authority of the Trustees.

<PAGE>
GLOSSARY
This glossary describes some of the securities in which Encore Fund may
invest in pursuing its investment objective.
U.S. Government Direct Obligations -- issued by the Treasury Department and
include bills, notes, and bonds.
(bullet) Treasury bills are issued with maturities of any period up to one
year. They are issued in bearer form and are sold on a discount
basis to pay the face amount at maturity. The income for the
investor is the difference between the purchase price and the
maturity value (or the sale price if sold prior to maturity).
(bullet) Treasury notes are intermediate-term securites with original
maturities of one to ten years. The income is paid to the investor
in semi-annual interest payments.
(bullet) Treasury bonds are long-term, debt instruments with original
maturities from ten to thirty years. The income is paid to the
investor in semi-annual interest payments.
U.S. Government Agencies Securities -- Federal agencies have been established
as instrumentalities of the United States Government to supervise and finance
certain types of activities. These agencies include the Banks for
Cooperatives, Federal Land Banks, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal
Home Loan Banks, Federal National Mortgage Association, Government National
Mortgage Association, Export-Import Bank, and Tennessee Valley Authority.
Issues of these agencies, while not direct obligations of the United States
Government, are either backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States or are guaranteed by the Treasury or supported by the issuing
agencies' right to borrow from the Treasury.
Banker's Acceptances -- A banker's acceptance is a time draft drawn on and
accepted by a commercial bank. It is generally used by corporations to
finance the shipment and storage of goods. When the draft is accepted by a
bank, the bank unconditionally guarantees to pay the face value of the
instrument on its maturity date. An investor can purchase a bankers'
acceptance in the secondary market at the going rate of discount for a
specific maturity. Maturities of the instrument are generally six months or
less.
Certificates of Deposit -- A certificate of deposit is a receipt issued
by a bank or savings and loan association in exchange for the deposit of
funds. It earns a specified rate of return over a definite period of time.
Normally a certificate can be traded in a secondary market prior to maturity.
Eurodollar certificates of deposit are dollar-denominated deposits in banks
outside the United States. The bank may be a foreign bank or a foreign branch
of a United States bank. Yankee certificates of deposit are United States
dollar-denominated deposits issued and payable by United States branches of
foreign banks.
Commercial Paper -- Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured
short-term debt instruments issued by corporations and finance companies.
Maturities on these issues vary from a few days to nine months. Yankee
commercial paper is issued by foreign institutions in the United States
markets and payable in United States dollars.
Repurchase Agreement -- A repurchase agreement is an agreement between a
seller and buyer, usually of U.S. Government securities to sell and
subsequently repurchase securities at a fixed price on a future date. Under a
reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund would in effect sell portfolio
securities to another entity, with an agreement to repurchase at a specified
future date. The repurchase price under any type of repurchase agreement
reflects an agreed-upon interest rate for the period of purchase, which tends
to reflect current interest rates in the market rather than original issue
rate on the security.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
Aetna Variable Encore Fund (the "Fund") is an open-end diversified management
investment company which sells its shares of beneficial interest to variable
annuity or variable life insurance separate accounts to fund variable annuity
contracts (VA Contracts) or variable life insurance policies (VLI Policies)
issued by Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company ("ALIAC" or "Company") and
its affiliates and subsidiaries.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES OF THE FUND
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide high current return,
consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, through investment in
high-quality money market instruments.
The Fund will operate under the following restrictions, which together with
its investment objective, are matters of fundamental policy and cannot be
changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act"). This means the lesser of: (i) 67% of the shares of the Fund
present or represented at a shareholders' meeting if the holders of more than
50% of the shares then outstanding are present or represented; or (ii) more
than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.
In seeking to accomplish its investment objective, the Fund will not:
(1) issue any senior security as defined in the 1940 Act, except that (a)
the Fund may enter into commitments to purchase securities in accordance
with the Fund's investment program, including reverse repurchase
agreements, delayed delivery and when-issued securities, which may be
considered the issuance of senior securities; (b) the Fund may engage in
transactions that may result in the issuance of a senior security to the
extent permitted under applicable regulations, interpretations of the
1940 Act or an exemptive order, and (c) subject to fundamental
restrictions, the Fund may borrow money as authorized by the 1940 Act;
(2) hold more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the securities of
any one issuer or hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of any one issuer; this restriction applies only to 75% of
the value of the Fund's total assets; securities issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities are excluded
from this restriction;
(3) concentrate its investments in any one industry except that the Fund may
invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities issued by companies
principally engaged in any one industry. For purposes of this
restriction, finance companies will be classified as separate industries
according to the end users of their services, such as automobile
finance, computer finance and consumer finance. This limitation will
not, however, apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, its agencies and instrumentalities; securities invested in,
or repurchase agreements for, U.S. Government securities; and
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, or securities of banks
and bank holding companies;
(4) make loans, except that, to the extent appropriate under its investment
program, the Fund may (a) purchase bonds, debentures or other debt
securities, including short-term obligations, (b) enter into repurchase
transactions and (c) lend portfolio securities provided that the value
of such loaned securities does not exceed one-third of the Fund's total
assets;
(5) invest in commodity contracts, except that the Fund may, to the extent
appropriate under its investment program, purchase securities of
companies engaged in such activities, may engage in transactions on a
when-issued or forward commitment basis, and may enter into forward
currency contracts;
(6) borrow money, except that (a) the Fund may enter into commitments to
purchase securities in accordance with the Fund's investment program,
including delayed-delivery and when-issued securities and reverse
repurchase agreements; and (b) for temporary, emergency purposes, the
Fund may borrow money in amounts not exceeding 5% of the value of its
total assets at the time the loan is made;
2
<PAGE>
(7) purchase real estate, interests in real estate or real estate limited
partnership interests except that, to the extent appropriate under its
investment program, the Fund may invest in securities secured by real
estate or interests therein or issued by companies, including real
estate investment trusts, which deal in real estate or interests
therein; or
(8) act as an underwriter of securities except to the extent that, in
connection with the disposition of portfolio securities by the Fund, the
Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter under the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act").
(Note that as a money market fund, the Fund's investment program does
not currently allow investment in futures contracts.)
The Fund has also adopted certain other investment restrictions which may be
changed by the Fund's Trustees and without shareholder vote. Under such
restrictions, the Fund will not:
(1) make short sales of securities, other than short sales "against the
box," or purchase securities on margin except for short-term credits
necessary for clearance of portfolio transactions, provided that this
restriction will not be applied to limit the use of options, futures
contracts and related options, in the manner otherwise permitted by the
investment restrictions, policies and investment program of the Fund;
(2) invest more than 10% of its total assets in illiquid securities.
Illiquid securities are securities that are not readily marketable or
cannot be disposed of promptly within seven days and in the usual course
of business without taking a materially reduced price. Such securities
include, but are not limited to, time deposits and repurchase agreements
with maturities longer than seven days. Securities that may be resold
under Rule 144A or securities offered pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
1933 Act, as amended, shall not be deemed illiquid solely by reason of
being unregistered. The Investment Adviser shall determine whether a
particular security is deemed to be liquid based on the trading markets
for the specific security and other factors;
(3) purchase the securities of any other investment company, except as
permitted under the 1940 Act;
(4) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management;
or
(5) invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities or obligations of
foreign issuers, including marketable securities of, or guaranteed by,
foreign governments (or any instrumentality or subdivision thereof). The
Fund will invest in securities or obligations of foreign banks only if
such banks have a minimum of $5 billion in assets and a primary capital
ratio of at least 4.25%. The Fund may only purchase foreign securities
or obligations that are U.S. dollar denominated.
Where the Fund's investment objective or policies restricts it to a specified
percentage of its total assets in any type of instrument, that percentage is
measured at the time of purchase. There will be no violation of any
investment policy or restriction if that restriction is complied with at the
time the relevant action is taken notwithstanding a later change in the
market value of an investment, in net or total assets, in the securities
rating of the investment or any other change.
The Fund will invest at least 95% of its total assets in high-quality
securities. High-quality securities are those receiving the highest credit
rating by any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (or
one, if only one rating organization has rated the security) and the
conditions of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act are met. High-quality securities
may also include unrated securities if the investment adviser determines the
security to be of comparable quality.
The remainder of the Fund's assets will be invested in securities rated
within the two highest rating categories by any two nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations (or one, if only one rating organization has
rated the security) and unrated securities if the investment adviser
determines the security to be of comparable quality. With respect to this
group of securities, the Fund may not, however, invest more than 1% of the
market value of its total assets or $1 million, whichever is greater, in the
securities or obligations of a single issuer.

DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with
the section of the prospectus entitled "Investment Policies and
Restrictions."
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with domestic banks and
broker-dealers meeting certain size and creditworthiness standards
established by the Fund's Board of Trustees. A repurchase agreement allows
the Fund to determine the yield during the Fund's holding period. This
results in a fixed rate of return insulated from market fluctuations during
such period. Such underlying debt instruments serving as collateral will meet
the quality standards of the Fund. The market value of the underlying debt
instruments will, at all times, be equal to the dollar amount invested, even
though the maturity of the underlying instruments may exceed the 397-day
maturity limitation (762 days for U.S. Government securities) of the Fund.
Repurchase agreements, although fully collateralized, involve the risk that
the seller of the securities may fail to repurchase them from the Fund. In
that event, the Fund may incur (a) disposition costs in connection with
liquidating the collateral, or (b) a loss if the collateral declines in
value. Also, if the default on the part of the seller is due to insolvency
and the seller initiates bankruptcy proceedings, the Fund's ability to
liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited. Under the 1940 Act,
repurchase agreements are considered loans by the Fund. Repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days will not exceed 10 percent of the total
assets of the Fund.
The Company will not make loans, enter into repurchase agreements or lend
portfolio securities unless it receives collateral that is at least equal to
the value of the loan, including accrued interest.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may enter into "reverse repurchase agreements" in which the Fund, as
seller of the securities, agrees to repurchase them at an agreed upon time
and price. When engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with banks or
broker-dealers, the Fund will receive cash and will deposit collateral in the
form of cash or cash equivalents in a segregated account maintained by Mellon
Bank, N.A. Such collateral will be maintained at all times in an amount equal
to at least 100% of the amount due to the bank or broker-dealer with which
the Fund entered into the reverse repurchase agreement.
When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Securities
During any period that the Fund has outstanding a commitment to purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, the Fund will maintain
with its custodian bank a segregated account consisting of cash, U.S.
Government securities or other high-quality debt obligations. To the extent
that the market value of securities held in this segregated account falls
below the amount that the Fund will be required to pay on settlement,
additional assets may be required to be added to the segregated account. Such
segregated accounts could affect the Fund's liquidity and ability to manage
its portfolio. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed-delivery
transactions, it is effectively relying on the seller of such securities to
consummate the trade; failure of the seller to do so may result in the Fund's
incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to invest funds held in the
segregated account more advantageously.
The Fund will not pay for securities purchased on a when-issued or
delayed-delivery basis, or start earning interest on such securities, until
the securities are actually received. However, any security so purchased will
be recorded as an asset of the Fund at the time the commitment is made.
Because the market value of securities purchased on a when-issued or
delayed-delivery basis may increase or decrease prior to settlement as a
result of changes in interest rates or other factors, such securities will be
subject to changes in market value prior to settlement and a loss may be
incurred if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to
settlement.
Maturity Policies
The average dollar-weighted maturity of securities in the Fund's portfolio
will not exceed ninety days. In addition, no security in the Fund's portfolio
will have a maturity of greater than thirteen months (397 calendar days), or,
in the case of United States Government securities, no greater than
twenty-five months (762 calendar days).

During the year ended December 31, 1995, members of the Boards of the Funds
within the Aetna Mutual Fund Complex who are also directors, officers or
employees of Aetna Life and Casualty Company and its affiliates were not
entitled to any compensation from the Funds. Effective November 1, 1995,
members of the Boards who are not affiliated as employees of Aetna or its
subsidiaries are entitled to receive an
6

of $5,000 per meeting for each regularly scheduled Board meeting, $5,000 for
each Contract Committee meeting which is held on any day on which a regular
Board meeting is not scheduled; and $3,000 for each committee meeting other
than for a Contract Committee meeting on and day on which a regular Board
meeting is not scheduled. A Committee Chairperson fee of $2,000 each will be
paid to the Chairperson of the Contract and Audit Committees. All of the
above fees are to be allocated proportionately to each Fund within the Aetna
Mutual Fund Complex based on the net assets of the Fund as of the date
compensation is earned.

CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND
As of March 31, 1996, all of the shares of the Fund were owned by the Company
and its affiliates and allocated to variable annuity and variable life
insurance separate accounts to fund obligations under VA Contracts and VLI
Policies. Contract holders in these separate accounts are provided the right
to direct the voting of Fund shares at shareholder meetings. The Company and
its affiliates vote the shares they own in these separate accounts in
accordance with contract holders' directions. Undirected shares of the Fund
will be voted for each Account in the same proportion as directed shares. The
Company is a wholly
7
<PAGE>
owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Holdings, Inc., which is in turn a
wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Retirement Services, Inc. and an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life and Casualty Company located at 151
Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Management
Agreement") with the Company, in effect since April 1994. It has been
confirmed each year and is currently effective through December 31, 1997. A
prior investment advisory agreement with the Company, with substantially
identical terms, was previously in effect. Under the Management Agreement and
subject to the direction of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, the Company
has responsibility for (i) supervising all aspects of the operations of the
Fund; (ii) selecting the securities to be purchased, sold or exchanged by the
Fund or otherwise represented in the Fund's investment portfolio, place
trades for all such securities; (iii) formulating and implementing continuing
programs for the purchase and sale of securities; (iv) obtaining and
evaluating pertinent information about significant developments and economic,
statistical and financial data, domestic, foreign or otherwise, whether
affecting the economy generally, the Fund, securities held by or under
consideration for the Fund, or the issuers of those securities; (v) providing
economic research and securities analyses as the Adviser considers necessary
or advisable in connection with the Adviser's performance of its duties
hereunder; (vi) obtaining the services of, contracting with, and providing
instructions to custodians and/or subcustodians of the Fund's securities,
transfer agents, dividend paying agents, pricing services and other service
providers as are necessary to carry out the terms of this Agreement; (vii)
perparing financial and performance reports, calculating and reporting daily
net asset values, and preparing any other financial data or reports, as the
Adviser from time to time, deems necessary or as is requested by the Board;
and (viii) taking any actions which appear to the Adviser and the Board
necessary.
The Management Agreement provides that the Company shall pay (a) the
salaries, employment benefits and other related costs of those of its
personnel engaged in providing investment advice to the Fund, including,
without limitation, office space, office equipment, telephone and postage
costs and (b) any fees and expenses of all Trustees officers and employees,
if any, of the Fund who are employees of the Company or an affiliated entity
and any salaries and employment benefits payable to those persons. The
Management Agreement provides that the Fund will pay (i) investment advisory
fees; (ii) broker's commissions and certain other transaction fees including
the portion of such fees, if any, which is attributable to brokerage research
services; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's independent auditors and
outside legal counsel; (iv) expenses of printing and distributing proxies,
proxy statements, prospectuses and reports to shareholders of the Fund,
except as such expenses may be borne by the distributor; (v) interest and
taxes; (vi) fees and expenses of those of the Fund's Trustees who are not
"interested persons" (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the Fund or the Company;
(vii) costs and expenses of promoting the sale of shares in the Fund,
including preparing prospectuses and reports to shareholders of the Fund;
(viii) administrator, transfer agent, custodian and dividend disbursing agent
fees and expenses; (ix) fees of dividend, accounting and pricing agents
appointed by the Fund; (x) fees payable to the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") or in connection with the registration of shares of the
Fund under the laws of any state or territory of the United States or the
District of Columbia; (xi) fees and assessments of the Investment Company
Institute or any successor organization and other association memberships
approved by the Board of Trustees; (xii) such nonrecurring or extraordinary
expenses as may arise; (xiii) all other ordinary business expenses incurred
in the operations of the Fund, unless specifically allocable otherwise by the
Management Agreement; (xiv) costs attributable to investor services,
administering shareholder accounts and handling shareholder relations; (xv)
all expenses incident to the payment of any dividend, distribution,
withdrawal or redemption; and (xvi) insurance premiums on property and
personnel (including officers and Trustees) of the Fund which benefit the
Fund. Some of the costs payable by the Fund under the Management Agreement
are being assumed by the Company under the terms of the Administrative
Services Agreement (see "Administrative Services Agreement").
The Management Agreement provides that if, for any fiscal year, the total of
all ordinary business expenses of the Fund, including all investment advisory
fees but excluding brokerage commissions, dis-
8
<PAGE>
tribution fees, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses and certain other
excludable expenses, would exceed the most restrictive expense limits imposed
by any statute or regulatory authority of any jurisdiction in which shares of
the Fund are offered for sales (unless a waiver is obtained), the Company
shall reduce its advisory fee in order to reduce such excess expenses, but
will not be required to reimburse the Fund for any ordinary business expenses
which exceed the amount of its advisory fee for such fiscal year.
The Management Agreement provides that it will continue in effect from year
to year provided that it is specifically approved at least annually by the
Board of Trustees of the Fund and by a majority of the non-interested
Trustees by votes cast at a meeting called for such purpose. The Management
Agreement provides that it may be terminated at any time by vote of the
Fund's Trustees or by vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting
securities, or the Company, on sixty (60) days' written notice to the other
party. The Management Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of
its assignment.
Pursuant to the terms of the previous management agreement, the Company
received an annual investment advisory fee of 0.25% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. For the years 1993, 1994 and 1995, the Fund paid the
Company an investment advisory fee of $1,026,406, $1,061,521 and $1,242,199,
respectively.
The service mark of the Aetna Variable Encore Fund and the name "Aetna" have
been adopted by the Fund with the permission of Aetna Life and Casualty
Company and their continued use is subject to the right of Aetna Life and
Casualty Company to withdraw this permission in the event the Company or
another subsidiary or affiliated corporation of Aetna Life and Casualty
Company should not be the investment adviser of the Fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
The Fund has entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with the
Company effective May 1, 1996 under which the Company has agreed to provide
all administrative services in support of the Fund. In addition, the Company
has agreed to pay on behalf of the Fund, all ordinary recurring direct costs
of the Fund that it would otherwise be required to pay under the terms of the
Investment Advisory Agreement except brokerage costs and other transaction
costs in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for its
portfolio (Transaction Costs). As a result, the Fund's costs and fees are
limited to its advisory fee, the administrative services charge and
Transaction Costs. For the services under the Administrative Services
Agreement, the Company will receive an annual fee, payable monthly at a rate
of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to May 1, 1996,
the Company had an Administrative Services Agreement that provided for the
reimbursement of a proportionate share of the Company's overhead in
administering the Fund. Prior to May 1, 1996, the Fund was obligated to pay
its own direct costs. The total of the direct costs and administrative costs
for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 were $245,027, $313,575
and $277,840, respectively.
The Administrative Services Agreement will remain in effect until January 1,
1997. It will then remain in effect from year-to-year if approved annually by
a majority of the Trustees. It may be terminated by either party on sixty
days' written notice.
BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND TRADING POLICIES
Subject to the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees, the Company has
responsibility for making the Fund's investment decisions and for effecting
the execution of trades for the Fund's portfolio. Purchases and sales of
portfolio securities will usually be made in principal transactions, which
will result in the payment of no brokerage commission. In such transactions,
portfolio securities will normally be purchased directly from or sold to the
issuer or an underwriter or market-maker for these securities.
The primary criterion used in the allocation of purchase transactions is the
availability of a security which best meets the requirements of the Fund's
portfolio strategy. This determination is based on the safety,
9
<PAGE>
liquidity, yield and maturity of the security in relation to other money
market instruments then available. The primary criterion used in the
allocation of sale transactions will be that of obtaining the best price and
execution of such transactions under the circumstances then prevailing.
Certain executive officers of the Company also have supervisory
responsibility with respect to the securities portfolio of the Company's own
general account. Further, the Company also acts as investment adviser to
other investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. The Company has
adopted policies designed to prevent disadvantaging the Fund in placing
orders for the purchase and sale of debt securities for the Fund, the Company
will normally use its own facilities and there will not be allocations of
such orders between the Fund and the Company's general account. However, to
the extent the Company has other clients, the Fund and another advisory
client of the Company may desire to buy or sell the same publicly traded
security at or about the same time. In such a case, the purchases or sales
will normally be allocated as nearly as practicable on a pro rata basis in
proportion to the amounts to be purchased or sold by each. In some cases the
smaller orders will be filled first. In determining the amounts to be
purchased and sold, the main factors to be considered are the respective
investment objectives of the Fund and the other portfolios, the relative size
of portfolio holdings of the same or comparable securities, availability of
cash for investment by the Fund and the other portfolios, and the size of
their respective investment commitments. Trades may be executed between Funds
and such trades are executed at "current market price" in compliance with SEC
Rule 17a-7.
The Fund did not pay any brokerage commissions for 1993, 1994, and 1995.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
Aetna Variable Encore Fund was established as a Maryland corporation in 1974
and converted to a Massachusetts business trust on May 1, 1984. It operates
under a Declaration of Trust ("Declaration") dated January 25, 1984.
The Declaration permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and
fractional shares of beneficial interest of a single class, each of which
represents a proportionate interest in the Fund equal to each other share.
The Trustees have the power to divide or combine the shares into a greater or
lesser number of shares without thereby changing the proportional beneficial
interest in the Fund.
Upon liquidation of the Fund, shareholders are entitled to share pro rata in
the net assets of the Fund available for distribution to shareholders. Fund
shares are fully paid and non-assessable, except as set forth below.
Shareholder and Trustee Liability
The Fund is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business
trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such business trusts may,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the
obligations of the Fund, which is not true in the case of a corporation. The
Declaration provides that shareholders shall not be subject to any personal
liability for the acts or obligations of the Fund and that every written
agreement, obligation, instrument or undertaking made by the Fund shall
contain a provision to the effect that shareholders are not personally liable
thereunder. With respect to tort claims, contract claims where the provision
referred to is omitted from the undertaking, and claims for taxes and certain
statutory liabilities in other jurisdictions, a shareholder may be held
personally liable to the extent that claims are not satisfied by the Fund.
However, upon payment of any such liability the shareholder will be entitled
to reimbursement from the general assets of the Fund. The Trustees intend to
conduct the operations of the Fund, with the advice of counsel, in such a way
as to avoid, as far as possible, ultimate liability of the shareholders for
liabilities of the Fund.
The Declaration further provides that the Trustees will not be liable for
errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, but nothing in the Declaration
protects a Trustee against any liability to which he or she would otherwise
be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her
office.
Voting Rights
Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held (and
fractional votes for fractional shares held) and will vote in the election of
Trustees (to the extent hereinafter provided) and on other matters submitted
to the vote of shareholders. The shareholders of the Fund are the insurance
companies for
10
<PAGE>
their separate accounts using the Fund to fund VA Contracts and VLI Policies.
The insurance company depositors of the separate accounts pass rights for
shares held for VA Contracts or VLI Policies through to Contract holders or
Participants as described in the prospectus for the applicable VA Contract or
VLI Policy. A meeting of the shareholders at which Trustees were elected was
most recently held on April 13, 1994. Thereafter, no further meeting of
shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees will be held unless and
until such time as less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have
been elected by shareholders, at which time the Trustees then in office will
call a shareholders' meeting for election of Trustees. Vacancies occurring
between such meetings shall be filled in an otherwise legal manner if,
immediately after filling any such vacancy, at least two-thirds of the
Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders. Except as set
forth above, the Trustees shall continue to hold office and may appoint
successor Trustees. Trustees may be removed from office (1) at any time by
two-thirds vote of the Trustees; (2) by a majority vote of Trustees where any
Trustee becomes mentally or physically incapacitated; (3) at a special
meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding shares; (4)
by written declaration filed with Mellon Bank, N.A., the Fund's custodian,
signed by two-thirds of the Fund's shareholders. Any Trustee may also
voluntarily resign from office.
Voting rights are not cumulative, so that the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voting in the election of Trustees can, if they choose to do so, elect
all the Trustees of the Fund, in which event the holders of the remaining
shares will be unable to elect any person as a Trustee.
The Declaration may be amended by an affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares at any meeting of shareholders or by written instrument signed by a
majority of the Trustees and consented to by a majority of the shareholders.
The Trustees may also amend the Declaration without the vote or consent of
shareholders if they deem it necessary to conform the Declaration to the
requirements of applicable federal laws or regulations or the requirements of
the regulated investment company provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, but the Trustees shall not be liable for failing to do so.
Shares have no preemptive or conversion rights.
TAX MATTERS
The following is only a summary of certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in
the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the
tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders, and the discussions here and
in the Prospectus are not intended as substitutes for careful tax planning.
Holders of VA Contracts or VLI Policies should consult the prospectuses of
their respective contracts or policies for information concerning the federal
income tax consequences of owning such VA Contracts or VLI Policies.
Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company
The Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
As a regulated investment company, the Fund generally is not subject to
federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income (i.e., taxable
interest, dividends and other taxable ordinary income, net of expenses) and
capital gain net income (i.e., the excess of capital gains over capital
losses) that it distributes to shareholders, provided that it distributes at
least 90% of its investment company taxable income (i.e., net investment
income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term
capital loss) for the taxable year (the "Distribution Requirement"), and
satisfies certain other requirements of the Code that are described below.
Distributions by the Fund made during the taxable year or, under specified
circumstances, within twelve months after the close of the taxable year, will
be considered distributions of income and gains of the taxable year and can
therefore satisfy the Distribution Requirement.
In addition to satisfying the Distribution Requirement, a regulated
investment company must: (1) derive at least 90% of its gross income from
dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains
from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign
currencies (to the extent such currency gains are directly related to the
regulated investment company's principal business of investing
11
<PAGE>
in stock or securities) and other income (including but not limited to gains
from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its
business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies (the "Income
Requirement"); and (2) derive less than 30% of its gross income (exclusive of
certain gains on designated hedging transactions that are offset by realized
or unrealized losses on offsetting positions) from the sale or other
disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies (or options, futures
or forward contracts thereon) held for less than three months (the
"Short-Short Gain Test"). However, foreign currency gains, including those
derived from options, futures and forwards, will not in any event be
characterized as Short-Short Gain if they are directly related to the
regulated investment company's investments in stock or securities (or options
or futures thereon). Because of the Short-Short Gain Test, the Fund may have
to limit the sale of appreciated securities that it has held for less than
three months. However, the Short-Short Gain Test will not prevent the Fund
from disposing of investments at a loss, since the recognition of a loss
before the expiration of the three-month holding period is disregarded for
this purpose. Interest (including original issue discount) received by the
Fund at maturity or upon the disposition of a security held for less than
three months will not be treated as gross income derived from the sale or
other disposition of such security within the meaning of the Short-Short Gain
Test. However, income that is attributable to realized market appreciation
will be treated as gross income from the sale or other disposition of
securities for this purpose.
Finally, the Fund must satisfy an asset diversification test in order to
qualify as a regulated investment company. Under this test, at the close of
each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the
Fund's assets must consist of cash and cash items, U.S. Government
securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and
securities of other issuers (as to which the Fund has not invested more than
5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in securities of such issuer and
as to which the Fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of such issuer), and no more than 25% of the value of its total
assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S.
Government securities and securities of other regulated investment
companies), or in two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are
engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses. Generally, an option
(call or put) with respect to a security is treated as issued by the issuer
of the security not the issuer of the option. However, with regard to forward
currency contracts, there does not appear to be any formal or informal
authority which identifies the issuer of such instrument. For purposes of
asset diversification testing, obligations issued by or guaranteed by
agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government such as the Federal
Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, the Farm Credit System Financial
Assistance Corporation, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the
Government National Mortgage Corporation, and the Student Loan Marketing
Association are treated as U.S. Government securities.
If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment
company, all of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) will be
subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for
distributions to shareholders, and such distributions will be taxable to the
shareholders as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund's current and
accumulated earnings and profits. Such distributions generally will be
eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate
shareholders.
Qualification of Segregated Asset Accounts
Under Code section 817(h), a segregated asset account upon which a variable
annuity contract or variable life insurance policy is based must be
"adequately diversified." A segregated asset account will be adequately
diversified if it satisfies one of two alternative tests set forth in the
Treasury Regulations. Specifically, the Treasury Regulations provide, that
except as permitted by the "safe harbor" discussed below, as of the end of
each calendar quarter (or within 30 days thereafter) no more than 55% of a
fund's total assets may be represented by any one investment, no more than
70% by any two investments, no more than 80% by any three investments and no
more than 90% by any four investments. For this purpose, all securities of
the same issuer are considered a single investment, and while each U.S.
Government agency and instrumentality is considered a separate issuer, a
particular foreign government and its agencies, instrumentalities and
political subdivisions may be considered the same issuer. As a safe harbor,
12
<PAGE>
a separate account will be treated as being adequately diversified if the
diversification requirements under Subchapter M are satisfied and no more
than 55% of the value of the account's total assets are cash and cash items,
U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment
companies.
For purposes of these alternative diversification tests, a segregated asset
account investing in shares of a regulated investment company will be
entitled to "look-through" the regulated investment company to its pro rata
portion of the regulated investment company's assets, provided the regulated
investment company satisfies certain conditions relating to the ownership of
the shares.
Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies
A 4% non-deductible excise tax is imposed on a regulated investment company
that fails to distribute in each calendar year an amount equal to 98% of
ordinary taxable income for the calendar year and 98% of capital gain net
income for the one-year period ended on October 31 of such calendar year (or,
at the election of a regulated investment company having a taxable year
ending November 30 or December 31, for its taxable year (a "taxable year
election")). The balance of such income must be distributed during the next
calendar year. For the foregoing purposes, a regulated investment company is
treated as having distributed any amount on which it is subject to income tax
for any taxable year ending in such calendar year.
For purposes of the excise tax, a regulated investment company shall: (1)
reduce its capital gain net income (but not below its net capital gain) by
the amount of any net ordinary loss for the calendar year; and (2) exclude
foreign currency gains and losses from Section 988 transactions incurred
after October 31 of any year (or after the end of its taxable year if it has
made a taxable year election) in determining the amount of ordinary taxable
income for the current calendar year (and, instead, include such gains and
losses in determining ordinary taxable income for the succeeding calendar
year).
The Fund intends to make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions of
its ordinary taxable income and capital gain net income prior to the end of
each calendar year to avoid liability for the excise tax. However, investors
should note that the Fund may in certain circumstances be required to
liquidate portfolio investments to make sufficient distributions to avoid
excise tax liability.
Fund Distributions
The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its investment company
taxable income for each taxable year. Such distributions will be taxable to
ALIAC as ordinary income and treated as dividends for federal income tax
purposes.
The Fund may either retain or distribute to ALIAC its net capital gain, if
any, for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute any such
amounts. If net capital gain is distributed and designated as a capital gain
dividend, it will be taxable to ALIAC as long-term capital gain, regardless
of the length of time ALIAC has held its shares or whether such gain was
recognized by the Fund prior to the date on which ALIAC acquired shares. All
distributions paid to ALIAC, whether characterized as ordinary income or
capital gain, are not taxable to VA Contract or VLI Policy holders.
If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will be taxed
thereon (except to the extent of any available capital loss carryovers) at
the 35% corporate tax rate. Where the Fund elects to retain its net capital
gain, it is expected that the Fund also will elect to have shareholders of
record on the last day of its taxable year treated as if each received a
distribution of his pro rata share of such gain, with the result that each
shareholder will be required to report his pro rata share of such gain on his
tax return as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit
for his pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain, and will increase
the tax basis for his shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution
less the tax credit.
Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within
foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The
United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which
entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such
income. It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in
advance since the amount of the Fund's assets to be invested in various
countries is not known.
13
<PAGE>
Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute ordinary income dividends or
capital gain dividends will be treated as a return of capital to the extent
of (and in reduction of) the shareholder's tax basis in his shares; any
excess will be treated as gain from the sale of his shares, as discussed
below.
Distributions paid to ALIAC will be reinvested in additional shares.
Shareholders receiving a distribution in the form of additional shares will
be treated as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market
value of the shares received, determined as of the reinvestment date. In
addition, if the net asset value at the time a shareholder purchases shares
of the Fund reflects undistributed net investment income or recognized
capital gain net income, or unrealized appreciation in the value of the
assets of the Fund, distributions of such amounts will be taxable to the
shareholder in the manner described above, although such distributions
economically constitute a return of capital to the shareholder.
Ordinarily, shareholders are required to take distributions by the Fund into
account in the year in which the distributions are made. However, dividends
declared in October, November or December of any year and payable to
shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month will be deemed to
have been received by the shareholders (and made by the Fund) on December 31
of such calendar year if such dividends are actually paid in January of the
following year. Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the
year.
Sale or Redemption of Shares
ALIAC will recognize gain or loss on the sale or redemption of shares of the
Fund in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the sale or
redemption and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares. All or a
portion of any loss so recognized may be disallowed if the shareholder
purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the sale or
redemption. In general, any gain or loss arising from (or treated as arising
from) the sale or redemption of shares of the Fund will be considered capital
gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were
held for longer than one year. However, any capital loss arising from the
sale or redemption of shares held, or deemed under Code rules to be held, for
six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent
of the amount of capital gain dividends received on such shares. Although
gain or loss realized on shares redeemed through the direction of VA Contract
or VLI Policy holders is taxable to ALIAC or its affiliates, such VA Contract
or VLI Policy holders will not be subject to tax.
Effect of Future Legislation; Local Tax Considerations
The foregoing general discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences is
based on the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder as in effect
on the date of this Statement of Additional Information. Future legislative
or administrative changes or court decisions may significantly change the
conclusions expressed herein, and any such changes or decisions may have a
retroactive effect with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.
Rules of state and local taxation of ordinary income dividends and capital
gain dividends from regulated investment companies often differ from the
rules for U.S. federal income taxation described above. Shareholders are
urged to consult their tax advisers as to the consequences of these and other
state and local tax rules affecting investment in the Fund.
SALE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of the Fund are sold and redeemed at the net asset value next
determined after receipt of a purchase or redemption order in acceptable form
by the Company. No sales charge or redemption charge is made.
The value of shares redeemed may be more or less than the shareholder's cost,
depending upon the market value of the portfolio securities at the time of
redemption. Payment for shares redeemed will be made to the Company by the
Fund within seven days or the maximum period allowed by law, if shorter,
after the redemption request is received by the Company acting as transfer
agent for the Fund. The right to redeem Fund shares may be suspended or
payment therefore postponed for any period during which
14
<PAGE>
(a) trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the
SEC or such Exchange is closed for other than weekends and holidays; (b) an
emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which (i) disposal
by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable, or (ii)
it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to determine fairly the value
of its net assets; or (c) the SEC by order so permits for the protection of
shareholders of the Fund.
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
The Company is the principal underwriter of the Fund pursuant to a contract
("Underwriting Agreement") between it and the Fund. The Underwriting Agreement
will remain in effect through December 1997 and may be continued annually
thereafter if approved annually by the Board of Trustees of the Fund or by a
vote of holders of a majority of the Fund's shares. This Underwriting Agreement
may be terminated at any time, by either party, without the payment of any
penalty, on sixty (60) days' written notice to the other party.
NET ASSET VALUE
Short-term debt securities which have a maturity date of more than sixty days
will be valued at the mean of the last bid and asked price obtained from
principal market makers. Generally, short-term debt securities maturing in
sixty days or less at the date of purchase will be valued using the
"amortized cost" method of valuation. This involves valuing an instrument at
its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization of premium or
increase of discount.
CUSTODIAN
Mellon Bank, N.A., One Mellon Bank Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15258
serves as custodian for assets of the Fund. The custodian does not
participate in determining the investment policies of the Fund or in deciding
which securities are purchased or sold by the Fund. The Fund, however, may
invest in obligations of the custodian and may purchase or sell securities
from or to the custodian.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, CityPlace II, Hartford, Connecticut 06103-4103 serves
as independent auditors to the Fund. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP provides audit
services, assistance and consultation in connection with SEC filings.

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

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.
