DEAR KILICO POLICY OWNER:
 
- ------------------------------------------
GENERAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
We have just completed a period of some discomfort for bond and stock market
traders. Concerns about rising interest rates, the possibility of higher price
inflation and Federal Reserve tightening of credit contributed to considerable
market volatility. But while the professional investors tend to fret over every
economic release, individuals who invest in variable annuities for the long term
were wise to stay the course -- at least until the direction of the economy
became clearer. Indeed, several recent economic measures are quite reassuring
and argue in favor of a continued healthy economy with low inflation.
 
The economy expanded at a 4.2% annual rate in the second quarter, the fastest
pace since the second quarter of 1994. This robust growth is welcome in general
but has tended to roil markets, which fear strong growth will lead to
overheating and inflationary pressures. So far, however, such fears have been
largely unwarranted. With the exception of food prices, which increases were
weather-related, there have been no significant signs of inflationary pressures.
The economy, as it has done so recently, is in the process of slowing itself
down. While the Federal Reserve Board stands ready to attempt to moderate
economic growth with either interest rate cuts or increases, such intervention
can run the risk of going too far in one direction. It appears that our economy
today is self-regulating.
 
MARKET OUTLOOK
 
Based on these snapshots of the economy, we look for a relatively calmer second
half of 1996. Our forecast calls for growth to slow down in the third and fourth
quarters, resulting in an advance of about 2.5% for the entire year. Assuming
that bond and stock market investors concur that there is no chance of an
overheating economy or significantly rising interest rates, the markets should
also relax.
 
The market volatility that we experienced in May, June and July was caused by
investors who were nervous about the broad economy and some disappointing
earnings reports which made them pessimistic. Yet, the markets performed the way
that history suggests they should: an overall correction in the stock market was
accentuated in technology and small capitalization stocks--the industry sectors
which performance tends to be the most volatile. Once the stock market
corrected, the bond market rallied. Finally, while not producing spectacular
results, international markets provided a stabilizing influence when compared to
U.S. markets.
 
Our market forecast eight months into the year is not much different from what
we forecasted in January. The bond market, which is climbing back from a decline
this year, may provide a 5% total return in 1996. The stock market, after the
correction is completed, may advance 5% to 10% for the year. However, future
market conditions can not be predicted with assurance.
 
In addition, we are projecting that long-term (30-year) interest rates will
hover in the 6.5% to 7.5% range, while short-term interest rates may drop below
their current levels. Finally, we would be surprised if the Federal Reserve
Board moved to adjust interest rates more than 25 basis points either way for
the remainder of the year.
 
Given the economic environment, we do not look for an upset in the upcoming
presidential election. Much more interesting will be which party wins the most
congressional seats. If the Democrats regain control of Congress, a bond market
selloff could be expected.
 
While U.S. markets are expected to provide modest returns, we continue to
advocate the benefits of diversification into alternate markets. Many overseas
markets are forecasted to grow at a rate well above our 2.5% growth expectation
for the U.S., and there are many equity and fixed-income opportunities abroad.
The value of the U.S. dollar, always a concern to international investors, will
probably not strengthen much against other currencies for the foreseeable
future.

The current annualized yield was 3.42% for the week ended July 31, 1996; the
compounded effective yield was 3.47%.
 
In the last six-months the economy and expectations have completely shifted. The
period began with sluggish economic growth and a moderate decrease in the
Federal Funds Rate by the Federal Reserve (Fed). However, the strong first
quarter Gross Domestic Product number surprised many given the obstacles faced
at the end of 1995 and beginning of 1996, including a temporary government
shutdown, brutal weather in the East and the General Motors strike. Now, at the
end of June with strong economic growth, it appears that it's just a matter of
time before the Fed increases rates.
 
Along with the market's swift change, we have switched from extending to
shortening the KINF Money Market Portfolio's average maturity. This should allow
us to benefit from any rise in interest rates.

The first six months of 1996 were characterized by volatility in the stock
market and depressed performance from an apprehensive bond market. Concerns
about the direction of interest rates, the pace of economic growth and the
return of price inflation dominated during the period. In response, we took
advantage of the significant flexibility afforded by KINF Total Return
Portfolio's investment strategy and made several adjustments.
 
Within the equity portion, weakness in the technology sector and mixed
performance in capital goods companies negatively impacted the overall results.
During this period, we maintained a commitment to the technology sector. Still
believers in the earnings potential of technology providers, we have reoriented
the Portfolio's exposure toward companies that provide technology services, as
well as buying selected component providers at depressed prices.
 
In the fixed-income sector, only high yield bonds showed strength. Early in the
year, we increased the Portfolio's exposure to high yield and high-grade
corporate bonds while reducing its U.S. Treasuries holdings.
 
We continue to expect high quality technology companies to do well.
Additionally, we look for the Portfolio's interest rate-sensitive and consumer
nondurable stocks to enhance performance in what

we expect to be a weakening economy. The bond market should react well to a
slowdown.

High yield bonds performed positively despite a turbulent six months for the
overall bond market. During the period, economic growth began gaining momentum.
Although this upturn in the economy hurt returns in the government and high
grade corporate markets, it did not have the same impact in the high yield bond
market. When the economy is growing, credit quality becomes less of a concern to
investors in high yield corporate bonds. A stronger economy assumes that more
growth in corporate earnings will occur. Solid earnings are essential for
companies to continue paying the interest on their outstanding bond issues.
 
Over the past six months, we maintained an even balance between "cyclical" and
"defensive" investments. During this time, our "cyclical" investments included
issues from the energy sector and "gaming" industry, while we purchased media
investments to fulfill our "defensive" position.
 
The Portfolio experienced relatively few credit concerns and the quality of
issues remained relatively stable. Lower B-rated bonds represented approximately
two-thirds of the investments, while higher quality BB-rated bonds comprised
about one quarter. This positioning provided a good level of income for the
Portfolio, while mitigating some potential risk. As Treasuries and higher
quality bonds rallied late in June this positioning inhibited the Portfolio's
performance slightly.
 
We look for more positive high yield market performance. However, we don't
anticipate that corporate earnings will keep pace with their 1994 and 1995
levels. Our investment focus will continue to be on healthy companies that are
positioned to perform well in the current moderate growth economy.

In late 1995, we had broadened the Portfolio to include exposure to more
economically-sensitive issues such as retail, oil, housing-related stocks and
selected industrial cyclical issues. These are sectors one would expect to
outperform in a period of strong economic growth and our positions did
contribute positive returns. In March we added a small "basket" of international
stocks that are managed with the help of Zurich Kemper's international
investment team based in London. In light of accelerating growth in foreign
economies, we believe the international markets offer potential for good
relative performance going forward.

More recently, we've seen increased concerns about a slowdown in earnings growth
and the potential for a general market correction. In this environment, the
challenge is to recognize where the new opportunities are, and our research and
valuation models have been effective in doing that.
 
Looking ahead, we see an upward bias for the market as a whole. Gains will
probably be achieved with additional sector rotation and a much greater level of
volatility than we saw last year. Policy owners can expect more rotation of the
Portfolio based on where our research suggests the new opportunities will be.
Overall, we see good potential for growth stocks, which aren't as dependent on
prevailing economic conditions to maintain and expand earnings.

The last six months were a difficult period for the government market. After
1995's slow economic growth and declining interest rates, the economic
environment began to change in January. Federal budget negotiations stalled, and
an impasse developed, which effectively eliminated the chances for a balanced
budget in the first half of 1996. In addition, economic data released throughout
the period showed stronger than anticipated economic growth and strong
employment figures.
 
These events caused a sell-off in the market, which resulted in higher market
yields. It wasn't until late in June that the market rallied as indicators of
inflation remained tame and technical conditions improved. Although positive,
the rally occurred too late to make a material impact in KINF Government
Securities Portfolio's six-month performance.
 
At the start of the year, the Portfolio was positioned with a longer than
average duration to take advantage of the then declining interest rate
environment. Duration is a measurement of a portfolio's sensitivity to interest
rates. The longer the duration, the more sensitive it is to interest rate
changes. As rates rose unexpectedly, the Portfolio's longer duration hurt
performance. We shortened duration to a defensive position and added
mortgage-backed investments to the Portfolio. Mortgage-backed investments were
added because they tend to outperform Treasuries as interest rates rise.
 
The poor overall performance of the market, however, continued to inhibit
performance until June, when the government market and Treasuries in particular,
rallied. We plan to maintain the Portfolio's defensive position until interest
rates stabilize and the direction of the economy becomes more clear.

Over the past six months, KINF International Portfolio continued to focus on
diversification. Diversifying into multiple markets provided the opportunity to
always have some portion of the equity holdings moving forward. The Netherlands,
Australia, Japan and France were top performing markets during this time frame.
Pharmaceuticals, technology, telecommunications and work force management
providers were favored industry sectors.
 
We made moves to heighten the Portfolio's exposure to Japan early in the year,
encouraged by signs that an economic recovery was finally underway. Because a
strengthened Japanese market affects all of Asia, the Portfolio's exposure to
Southeast Asia was also increased, with an emphasis on Malaysia.
 
European holdings continued to perform well as industrial production picked up
and consumer spending continued to rise. Small- and mid-capitalization holdings
in Ireland, Spain and the Netherlands were among the strongest performers. Due
to the impressive performance of the smaller companies in continental Europe, we
are considering increasing the 20% weighting in European small- and mid-caps in
the coming months.

Average annual total return performance reflects surrender charges as follows:
one year (6%) and lifetime (4%). The returns represent past performance only;
the investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that unit values,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
During the first half of 1996, health care, information services and consumer
oriented stocks were among the top performers in the KINF Small Cap Growth
Portfolio. Trading during the period emphasized portfolio consolidation,
trimming large positions that enjoyed strong gains and eliminating small
positions that were not contributing meaningful performance. We also added to
selected positions in which our small cap analysts hold strong conviction.
 
In light of current uncertainty in the market, we intend to stay with the "bread
and butter" stocks--stable service companies that can deliver consistent revenue
growth despite changes in the economy. In that vein, we've added to our position
in Omnicare, a company that distributes pharmacy supplies and drugs to nursing
homes. We also added a new position, Executive Risk, a director/officer
liability insurance company.

INVESTMENT GRADE BOND SUBACCOUNT
 
The last six months was a difficult period for bonds. After slow economic growth
and declining interest rates in 1995, the economic environment began to change
in January. Federal budget negotiations stalled, and an impasse developed, which
effectively eliminated the chances for a balanced budget in the first half of
1996. In addition, economic data released throughout the period showed stronger
than anticipated economic growth and strong employment figures. These events
caused a sell-off in the market, which resulted in higher market yields. The
high grade corporate bond market struggled through most of the period, but
rallied late in June as indicators of inflation remained tame and technical
conditions improved. Although positive, the rally occurred too late to make a
material impact in KINF Investment Grade Bond Portfolio's performance in its
first two months.

Going forward, we plan to concentrate on finding value in the market--bond
issues with cash flow growth and debt reduction potential that may be
undervalued today. We expect to maintain a neutral to defensive duration until
interest rates stabilize and the economy's direction becomes more clear.

VALUE SUBACCOUNT
 
During KINF Value Portfolio's first two months, we have adopted a "wait-and-see
attitude" to the crosscurrents in the increasingly volatile stock market.
Increased oil prices this year have renewed our interest in selected oil stocks,
whose prices continued to be depressed. Conversely, significant appreciation of
many drug stocks in the Portfolio has driven us to pare back on those holdings.
 
Continued market volatility should benefit the Portfolio, which seeks attractive
opportunities among stocks that are out of favor with investors. We are
optimistic despite the possibility of rising interest rates. Generally, rising
rates don't hurt nearly as much as people think. Instead, it's the psychology
that can create a problem.

SMALL CAP VALUE SUBACCOUNT
 
NOTE: Portfolio Manager Michael Berry resigned his position effective July 1.
The KINF Small Cap Value Portfolio is now being managed by Steve Stokes and
Chris Bertelsen, Chief Investment Officer at Dreman Value Advisors, Inc. (DVA),
a subsidiary of Zurich Kemper Investments, Inc. The Portfolio will continue to
be managed under DVA's contrarian investment style which was pioneered by David
N. Dreman and concentrates on low price/earning value criteria for stock
selection.
 
The KINF Small Cap Value Portfolio performance in its first two months reflected
the general outperformance of large cap stocks as well as several
company-specific setbacks. Gains in Cullen Frost Bankers, Bally Entertainment
and KCS Energy were offset by declines in AK Steel, Electroglas and Haggar
Apparel.
 
Despite a temporary setback, we believe the Portfolio is well positioned for
growth during the coming months. However, given the uncertainty in the market,
we're maintaining a somewhat cautious stance. The Portfolio's more volatile
positions have been trimmed and we've added stocks that provide attractive
yields, which should provide a cushion for the Portfolio's total return in the
event of a market downturn.

VALUE + GROWTH SUBACCOUNT
 
Rising interest rates and several disappointing earnings announcements led to a
widespread sell-off in the technology sector which created some attractive
buying opportunities as well as contributed to KINF Value + Growth Portfolio's
positive performance during its first two months. Thanks to our strong research
capabilities, we were able to identify some very solid companies and purchase
them at attractive valuations. In addition to selected technology stocks, we
currently favor companies in the financial, health care and consumer non-durable
sectors.

Approximately 60% of the Portfolio is currently invested in growth stocks, with
40% in value stocks. Normally, a strong economy and higher interest rates would
urge a cautious tone with regard to our growth stock bias, and it may be reduced
slightly in the coming months. However, the cyclical strength demonstrated by
the economy hasn't been reflected in corporate profits as measured by the
Standard and Poor's Stock Index (S&P). Sub-par earnings growth in the S&P argues
for a continued overweight in growth versus value, which we expect to maintain
for the near-term.

HORIZON 20+ SUBACCOUNT
 
KINF Horizon 20+ Portfolio during its first two months performed in line with
our expectations. The volatility in the stock market during this period provided
us with ample opportunity to build the Portfolio by acquiring desirable stocks
at attractive prices. This has contributed to a larger exposure to technology
and financial stocks than the Portfolio's S&P benchmark.
 
Midway through the year, we look for market volatility to continue, if not pick
up. A diversified portfolio with U.S. and foreign stocks, as well as various
types of equities (large capitalization and small capitalization, growth and
value-style), should help the Portfolio continue to be an "all-weather
portfolio." Weakness in various industry sectors, including health care
delivery, should provide attractive opportunities.

 + The percent change in accumulation unit value is net of mortality and expense
   risk charges. No adjustment has been made for the annual records maintenance
   charge or surrender charges. No withdrawals are assumed.
 
++ On November 3, 1989, the four KILICO Separate Accounts of Kemper ADVANTAGE
   III were restructured into four subaccounts of KILICO Variable Annuity
   Separate Account (KVASA), which invests in corresponding portfolios of the
   Kemper Investors Fund. A new Government Securities Subaccount was also
   created for investing in the Government Securities Portfolio of KINF. Because
   the KILICO Separate Accounts had significantly greater assets and a longer
   history of operations than the KINF portfolios, this financial and
   statistical information reflects the experience of the predecessor KILICO
   Separate Accounts where appropriate.
 
   In determining performance for Kemper ADVANTAGE III, the fund expenses
   including management fees of .50% for the Money Market Portfolio, .55% for
   the Government Securities and Total Return Portfolios, .60% for the Growth
   and High Yield Portfolios, .65% for the Small Cap Growth Portfolio, .75% for
   the International Portfolio are deducted. In addition, Kemper ADVANTAGE III
   assesses a daily asset charge, which amounts to 1.30% per annum for mortality
   and expense risk and administrative costs, and a prorated portion of the $36
   records maintenance charge (assessed quarterly).
 
   A $1,000 payment is used to calculate average annual total return. Average
   annual total return measures the change in the value of an investment in the
   Subaccount. Average annual total return reflects annualized change, and
   figures are net of all fees and charges including early withdrawal and
   surrender charges as follows: Kemper ADVANTAGE III Money Market, Total
   Return, Growth, Government Securities, High Yield and International
   Subaccounts one year (6%) and lifetime (2%); Small Cap Growth Subaccount 1
   year (6%) and lifetime (4%).
 
   The Money Market Subaccount's current annualized yield is the seven-day
   annualized net investment income per share as of the date specified. Gains or
   losses are not included. The effective yield reflects compounding of income.
   There can be no assurance that the Money Market Portfolio will be able to
   maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Subaccount is not
   insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
 
   The returns are based upon historical results and are not representative of
   future results. Factors affecting performance include portfolio management;
   general market, economic and fiscal conditions; and operating expenses.
   Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that unit values,
   when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. With
   respect to the High Yield Subaccount, investment in lower-rated and non-rated
   securities present greater risk of loss to principal and interest than
   higher-rated securities. With respect to the International Subaccount, there
   are special risk considerations associated with investing in non-U.S.
   companies, including fluctuating foreign exchange rates, foreign governmental
   regulations and differing degrees of liquidity that may affect portfolio
   securities. With respect to the Small Cap Growth Subaccount, investment in
   small companies presents greater risk than investment in larger, more
   established companies.
 
   Non-qualified Kemper ADVANTAGE III plans issued in 1984 and prior years
   realized a corporate tax on realized gains and losses than was in effect at
   that time. Under current law, this no longer applies.

KEMPER INVESTORS FUND
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
Kemper Investors Fund (the "Fund") is an open-end, diversified management
investment company organized as a business trust under the laws of
Massachusetts. The Fund offers multiple Portfolios, currently consisting of the
Money Market, Total Return, High Yield, Growth, Government Securities,
International, Small Cap Growth, Investment Grade Bond, Value, Small Cap Value,
Value + Growth, Horizon 20+, Horizon 10+ and Horizon 5 Portfolios.
 
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVESTMENT VALUATION.

Investments are stated at value.
 
The securities of the Portfolios (excluding the Money Market Portfolio) that are
traded on a domestic securities exchange or securities listed on the NASDAQ
National Market are valued at the last sale price on the exchange or market
where primarily traded or listed or, if there is no recent sale, at the last
current bid quotation. Portfolio securities that are primarily traded on foreign
securities exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of
such securities on their respective exchanges where primarily traded. A security
that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on
the exchange determined to be the primary market for that security by the Board
of Trustees or its delegates. Securities not so traded or listed are valued at
the last current bid quotation if market quotations are available. Fixed income
securities are valued by using market quotations, or independent pricing
services that use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market values
obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar
characteristics. Equity options are valued at the last sale price unless the bid
price is higher or the asked price is lower, in which event such bid or asked
price is used. Exchange traded fixed income options are valued at the last sale
price unless there is no sale price, in which event prices provided by market
makers are used. Over-the-counter traded fixed income options are valued based
upon prices provided by market makers. Financial futures and options thereon are
valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts and
foreign currencies are valued at the forward and current exchange rates,
respectively, prevailing on the day of valuation. Other securities and assets
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
 
The securities of the Money Market Portfolio are stated at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. In the event that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more
exists between the Portfolio's $1.00 per share net asset value, calculated at
amortized cost, and the net asset value calculated by reference to market
quotations, or if there is any other deviation that the Board of Trustees
believes would result in a material dilution to shareholders or purchasers, the
Board of Trustees will promptly consider what action, if any, should be
initiated.
 
CURRENCY TRANSLATION.
 
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars. All assets and
liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency values are converted into
U.S. Dollars at the mean between the bid and offered quotations of such
currencies against the U.S. Dollar as last quoted by a recognized dealer. If
such quotations are not readily available, the rate of exchange is determined in
good faith by the Board of Trustees. Income and expenses and purchases and sales
of investments are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Portfolios include
that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign
exchange rates with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments,
as appropriate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME.
 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to
buy or sell is executed). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as
the information is available to the Fund. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis and includes discount amortization on all fixed income securities
and premium amortization on mortgage-backed securities. Realized gains and
losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis.
 
Several of the Portfolios may purchase securities with delivery or payment to
occur at a later date. At the time a Portfolio enters into a commitment to
purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security
is reflected in the net asset value. The value of the security may vary with
market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Portfolio until payment takes
place. At the time the Portfolio enters into this type of transaction it is
required to segregate cash or other liquid assets equal to the value of the
securities purchased. At June 30, 1996, the Government Securities Portfolio had
$16,252,000 of purchase commitments outstanding (19% of net assets) with a
corresponding amount of assets segregated.
 
EXPENSES.
 
Expenses arising in connection with a Portfolio are allocated to that Portfolio.
Other Fund expenses are allocated among the Portfolios in proportion to their
relative net assets.
 
FUND SHARE VALUATION.
 
Shares of each Portfolio of the Fund are offered on a continuous basis to the
separate accounts of participating insurance companies where permitted by law.
On each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, each Portfolio
determines its net asset value per share (NAV) by dividing the total value of
the Portfolio's investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of
Portfolio shares outstanding. The NAV is determined as of the earlier of 3:00
p.m. Chicago time or the close of the Exchange for all Portfolios except the
Money Market Portfolio, and at 11:00 a.m. and as of the earlier of 3:00 p.m.
Chicago time or the close of the Exchange for the Money Market Portfolio.
Because of the need to obtain prices as of the close of trading on various
exchanges throughout the world, the calculation of net asset value for the
International Portfolio does not take place contemporaneously with the
determination of prices of the Fund's foreign securities.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
 
Each Portfolio has complied or intends to comply with the special provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code available to investment companies for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. The accumulated net realized loss on sales of investments
for federal income tax purposes at June 30, 1996 amounted to approximately
$22,163,000 in the High Yield Portfolio and $3,567,000 in the Government
Securities Portfolio. These losses are available to offset future taxable gains
in the respective Portfolios and, if not applied, expire during the period 1998
through 2004.
 
DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
 
All Portfolios except the Money Market Portfolio declare and pay dividends of
net investment income and net realized capital gains annually, which are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Money Market Portfolio declares a daily
dividend equal to its net investment income for that day, payable monthly.
 
Shareholders will receive dividends in additional shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
Dividends are determined in accordance with income tax principles which may
treat certain transactions differently from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
certain transactions such as foreign currency transactions, if applicable.
 
EQUALIZATION ACCOUNTING.
 
A portion of proceeds from sales and cost of redemptions of Fund shares in all
Portfolios except the Money Market Portfolio is credited or charged to
undistributed net investment income so that income per share available for
distribution is not affected by sales or redemptions of shares.
 
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The Fund has a management agreement with Zurich Kemper Investments, Inc. (ZKI),
the Fund's investment manager for each Portfolio except the Value and Small Cap
Value Portfolios. For management services and facilities furnished, the Fund
pays a fee, based on average daily net assets, at an annual rate of .50% for the
Money Market Portfolio, .55% for the Total Return and Government Securities
Portfolios, .60% for the High Yield, Growth, Investment Grade Bond, Horizon 20+,
Horizon 10+ and Horizon 5 Portfolios, .65% for the Small Cap Growth Portfolio
and .75% for the International and Value + Growth Portfolios. Dreman Value
Advisors, Inc. (DVA), a wholly owned subsidiary of ZKI, serves as the investment
manager for the Value and the Small Cap Value Portfolios and is paid a
management fee at an annual rate of .75% of average daily net assets of such
Portfolios. DVA also serves as sub-adviser for the Value + Growth and Horizon
Portfolios. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Fund incurred management
fees of $5,033,000. Kemper Distributors, Inc., an affiliate of ZKI, is the
distributor and principal underwriter for shares of the Fund.
 
Certain officers or trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of ZKI
or DVA. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Fund made no direct
payments to its officers and incurred trustees' fees of $83,000 to independent
trustees.

(6) FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS
 
The Total Return, High Yield and Government Securities Portfolios have entered
into exchange traded financial futures contracts in order to help protect
themselves from anticipated market conditions and, as such, bear the risk that
arises from owning these contracts. At the time a Portfolio enters into a
futures contract, it is required to make a margin deposit with its custodian.
Subsequently, gain or loss is recognized and payments are made on a daily basis
between the Portfolios and the broker as the market value of the futures
contract fluctuates. At June 30, 1996, the market value of assets pledged by the
Portfolios to cover margin requirements for open futures positions were
$135,000, $26,000 and $1,055,000 for the Total Return, High Yield and Government
Securities Portfolios, respectively. The Portfolios also had liquid securities
in their portfolio sufficient to cover the following short Treasury futures
positions open at June 30, 1996 that expire in September, 1996.

(7) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
In order to protect themselves against a decline in the value of particular
foreign currencies against the U.S. Dollar, the Total Return, Growth and
International Portfolios have entered into forward contracts to deliver foreign
currency in exchange for U.S. Dollars as described below. The Portfolios bear
the market risk that arises from changes in foreign exchange rates, and
accordingly, the net unrealized gain on these contracts is reflected in the
accompanying financial statements. The Portfolios also bear the credit risk if
the counterparty fails to perform under the contract. At June 30, 1996, the
Portfolios had the following forward foreign currency contracts outstanding with
settlement dates in July, 1996:

ended June 30, 1996 was $.0199. Foreign commissions usually are lower than U.S.
commissions when expressed as cents per share due to the lower per share price
of many non-U.S. securities.
