November 17, 1995

To Our Shareholders:

It is with sadness that we send you this Annual Report of Keyco Bond
Fund, Inc. for the year ended September 30, 1995.  On October 16, 1995,
Beatrice Keywell, my mother and the Fund's President, passed away after
having become ill several months ago.  This was a great loss for the
members of the Keywell family as well as for the shareholders, and we
shall all miss her.  Your Board of Directors has endeavored to maintain
normal activities of the Fund during this difficult time, and therefore
we have prepared this report in the required timely manner.

At the beginning of our fiscal year, market interest rates for tax-exempt
municipal securities continued their rapid rise before beginning to
decrease in December 1994.  During 1995, interest rates continued to
decline, ending on September 30, 1995 at a level below that of September
30, 1994.  For the Fund's bond portfolio, the result was an unrealized
gain of 2.4% or $608,961 for the year.

Especially at the beginning of the fiscal year before interest rates
began to decrease, we continued to upgrade our portfolio by extending
maturities and/or improving quality.  During the entire twelve month
period, five bonds were sold or called for total proceeds of $2,477,561
and a realized loss of $31,097, which can be used to offset future
realized gains.  The cash from these dispositions was reinvested in bonds
maturing in nine to eighteen years.  While portfolio turnover was a
relatively high 9.4%,  it was lower than the previous two years.

Net investment income for the year was $1,582,127 or $1.25 per share
compared with $1,584,367 or $1.25 per share last year.  The $2,240
decrease was the net effect of $784 higher interest income and $3,024
higher expenses, primarily due to an increase in accounting fees required
for securities law compliance.

The net asset value of the Fund was $21.18 per share on September 30,
1995, which was an increase of $.45 per share from the prior year.  The
weighted average annual yield on the bonds in the Fund as of September
30, 1995 was 6.6% based on cost, and 6.2% based on market value, and the
weighted average maturity was 10.4 years.  

The Board of Directors, on October 26, 1995, declared monthly dividends
which total $1.24 per share for the year ending September 30, 1996.  For
administrative efficiency, the Board also voted to continue the policy of
paying dividends on a monthly basis to shareholders whose monthly payment
is at least $500.  Shareholders with accrued but unpaid dividends
exceeding $500 on April 1 and October 1 will be paid semi-annually in
those months.  The remaining shareholders will continue to receive only
one dividend payment, which will be made in October 1996.

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Keyco Bond Fund, Inc. will be held
at 27777 Franklin Road, Suite 1850, Southfield, Michigan, on Thursday,
December 21, 1995, at 9:00 a.m. for the purpose of electing Directors and
ratifying the selection of Coopers & Lybrand as our auditors.

Joel D. Tauber has agreed to become President of the Fund, and his
appointment was unanimously ratified by the Board at its October 26
meeting.  Mark Schlussel and David Page continue to serve as independent
outside Directors, and their remuneration is $1,000 each per meeting.  In
addition, the fund pays $25,000 annually for certain administrative
services and office space.

If you have any questions concerning the Fund or the enclosed
information, please call me or Joel Tauber.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

/S/  GAIL A. DISHELL
Gail A. Dishell
Vice President

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of

of the five years in the period then ended.  These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's 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 September 30, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian.  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 Keyco Bond Fund, Inc. as of September 30, 1995, the results
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Keyco Bond Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements

1.  Significant Accounting Policies:

      Keyco Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Company") has registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end, diversified
management company.  The Company became qualified as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code on October 1, 1979. 
Management intends to distribute to the shareholders substantially all
earnings from that date.  The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its
financial statements.  The policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
      
      a.  Security Valuation:  The Company has invested substantially all
of its assets in long-term state and municipal debt obligations. 
Investments in these tax-exempt securities are stated at fair value.  The
fair value of the investments is provided by the Company's custodian, who
utilizes a matrix pricing system.  Due principally to a decrease in
interest rates, the fair value of the investments is currently above
cost, resulting in unrealized appreciation.  The principal amount of each
bond, as reflected in the schedule of portfolio investments, is due at
maturity when the bond must be redeemed by the issuer.

      b.  Federal Income Taxes:  It  is  the  Company's  intention  to
comply  with  the  requirements of  the  Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its income to
its shareholders.  Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
recorded.

      c.  Other:  Security transactions are accounted for on a trade-date
basis.  Cost of securities sold is determined by specific identification. 
Distributions to shareholders are recorded when declared.  Interest on
