From the president

The stock and bond markets advanced strongly in 1995, more than
making up for ground lost during much of last year.  As a result,
the Retirement Annuity mutual funds that invest primarily in U.S.
securities registered solid gains for the fiscal year ended Aug.
31, 1995.

While the stock and bond markets can be volatile on a short-term
basis, they historically have provided attractive returns over the
long term.  A focus on long-term financial objectives and a
balanced investment program are good guidelines for investing in
today's economic environment.

The Retirement Annuity group of mutual funds allows you to take
advantage of long-term opportunities through a variety of
investment avenues.  Your financial advisor can tell you about the
role each Fund can play in meeting your long-term financial
objectives.

Capital Resource Fund

(Photo of) Curt Weaver, Portfolio manager

From the portfolio manager

A highly selective investment approach paid off well for Capital
Resource Fund during the past fiscal year -- September 1994 through
August 1995.  The result was a 17% total return for contract-
owners.  (This figure does not reflect expenses that apply to the
variable accounts or subaccounts or to the annuity contract.)

After struggling for most of 1994, the stock market began 1995 on a
positive note that it sustained almost throughout the next eight
months.  The driving forces in the advance included strong
corporate profits, moderate economic growth, low inflation and
declining long-term interest rates -- a sure-fire formula for
rising stock prices.

Growth stocks -- the core of this portfolio -- found the
environment especially favorable, and mounted their best march in
recent years.  As has been the case for the past couple of years,
the key to our recent success was buying stocks of fundamentally
sound, growing companies whose prices had fallen to attractively
low levels.  In many cases, these were companies that were
undergoing restructuring or being acquired -- part of what we call
the "corporate consolidation" of America.

The Fund's holdings spanned a wide range of business sectors,
including pharmaceuticals, health-care services, financial
services, technology and medical devices.  In addition, we
maintained a mix of both large and small-company stocks.  This
broadly diversified approach also provided some cushion for the
Fund during periods when a particular stock group lost ground. 
Also of benefit to the Fund was our decision to maintain a small
cash reserve, as we preferred to keep nearly all assets invested in
stocks.

Given the market's strong performance this year, it has become
increasingly difficult to find investments that aren't over-priced. 
Nevertheless, we plan to hold to our disciplined approach as we try
to build on our recent progress.

International Equity Fund

(Photo of) Paul Hopkins, Portfolio manager

From the portfolio manager

Many foreign markets rebounded during the spring and summer,
allowing International Equity Fund to make up most of the ground
lost earlier in the fiscal year.  Ultimately, for the September
1994 through August 1995 period, the Fund experienced a decline in
total return of 1.8%.  (This figure does not reflect expenses that
apply to the variable accounts or subaccounts or to the annuity
contract.)

The period got off to a poor start, as fears of rising interest
rates in Southeast Asia and a currency devaluation in Mexico drove
down stock prices in those countries and created a ripple effect
that soon spread to other smaller foreign markets.  The Japanese
market, on other hand, held up relatively well during that time,
only to slump early in 1995 under the impact of the Kobe
earthquake.

By spring, though, conditions throughout much of the world were
markedly improved.  The driving force was falling interest rates in
many countries.  As is usually the case, stock prices in many
countries responded positively to that trend.

As for the current fiscal year, many foreign markets still appear
attractively priced.  In Japan, we anticipate that government
action on interest rates, fiscal spending and bad real estate debts
will accelerate earnings growth and push the market higher.  In
Southeast Asia, strong growth and modest market valuations make for
a favorable outlook.  In Europe, the markets have performed well
and may need time to digest the gains.  Still, even there, the
prospect of lower interest rates should be positive for stocks in
the months ahead.

Overall, we are optimistic about the potential for international
stocks and expect the markets to post additional gains.

Aggressive Growth Fund

(Photo of) Martin G. Hurwitz, Portfolio manager

From the portfolio manager

Sharp stock selection and a powerful market rally combined to
produce a total return of 26.8% for Aggressive Growth Fund during
the past fiscal year (September 1994 through August 1995).  (This
figure does not reflect expenses that apply to the variable
accounts or subaccounts or to the annuity contract.)

The first several months of the period were dominated by volatility
in the stock market, as a tug of war developed between the positive
forces of low inflation and generally good corporate profits and
the negative influence of higher interest rates.

By early spring, the market's main questions had been answered to
its satisfaction: the economy was cooling down but appeared
unlikely to slip into recession; corporate profits were
encouragingly strong; inflation was staying at an unthreatening
level and long-term interest rates had not only stabilized but were
heading down.  With those positive factors in place, the market
mounted a sustained advance that continued through much of the
summer.

To the particular benefit of this Fund, growth stocks responded
especially well in that environment.  More specifically, stocks of
technology companies, which comprised the largest portion of the
portfolio, were often at the forefront of the rally.

Complementing our emphasis on technology was our decision to
gradually reduce the level of cash reserves in the portfolio --
from more than 30% of assets to about 10%.  We put that money to
work in stocks, which ultimately provided a much greater overall
return than cash-equivalent investments.

Concurrent with a change in managers last January, we also reduced
the number of holdings in the portfolio.  Although the emphasis has
remained on stocks of small and mid-size growth companies, stock-
selection criteria are now somewhat different.  The top
consideration is outstanding company management, followed by strong
earnings and revenue growth and a good risk-reward ratio regarding
stock price.

Looking to the new fiscal year that began this fall, we're
encouraged by the continuation of what we believe is a favorable
formula for stocks -- a modestly growing economy, an ongoing low
rate of inflation and stable-to-declining interest rates.  While we
may well see some volatility along the way, we expect to be
rewarded over the longer-term.

Special Income Fund

(Photo of) Steven C. Merrell, Portfolio manager

From the portfolio manager

A much-improved bond market during 1995 set the stage for a strong
performance by Special Income Fund during the past fiscal year --
September 1994 through August 1995.  For the 12 months, the total
return was 13.75%.  (This figure does not reflect expenses that
apply to the variable accounts or subaccounts or to the annuity
contract.)

As is always the case for bond portfolios, the leading factor in
the Fund's performance during the period was the interest-rate
trend.  In early 1994, the Federal Reserve began raising interest
rates to temper economic growth and thereby head off a potential
spike in the inflation rate.  Along the way, bond prices
experienced a steep decline -- an automatic result of higher
interest rates.  (Conversely, falling interest rates boost bond
prices.)

The lingering effect of higher rates was still troubling the bond
market when the Fund's fiscal year began, and the Fund lost ground
during the opening months.  The turnaround came in December 1994. 
With inflation fears abating somewhat, long-term interest rates
leveled off, allowing bonds to make modest progress.  The forward
momentum soon turned into a powerful rally that continued largely
unabated through the end of the fiscal year in August.

Naturally, the Fund's performance benefited from the favorable
interest-rate trend.  But some strategies we employed provided an
extra boost.  Foremost was our decision to increase the average
maturity of the securities in the portfolio during the past spring
and summer.  That enhanced the gain resulting from the rate
decline.  In addition, early in 1995, we added to the Fund's
holdings of government and corporate bonds in emerging markets,
mainly in Latin America.  These issues generated excellent gains
for us in the ensuing months.

As we embark upon a new fiscal year, we believe the positive
environment we've recently enjoyed remains in place.  Economic
growth continues at a modest pace.  Inflation has yet to reach a
threatening level.  And interest rates, over the next several
months, appear likely to move somewhat lower.  We are maintaining a
relatively aggressive portfolio structure and, if our outlook
proves to be correct, bonds should respond in a positive way.

From the portfolio manager

Ongoing economic growth fostered increases in short-term interest
rates during most of the Fund's fiscal year (September 1994 through
August 1995).  Consistent with that trend, the Fund's yield also
increased.  For the seven-day period ended August 31, 1995, the
Fund's compound annualized yield was 5.19%, and the simple
annualized yield was 5.06%.  The Fund maintained a stable $1 per
share price throughout the 12-month period.  (Although the fund
seeks to maintain $1 per share price, there is no assurance that it
will be able to do so.  Also, an investment in the Fund is neither
insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.)

An extended rise in short-term interest rates began in February
1994, when the Federal Reserve Board started raising rates to slow
down the economy and, therefore, prevent a rapid increase in the
inflation rate.  The trend continued until last spring.  (The Fed
adjusts short-term rates based on the condition of the economy and
the inflation outlook.  When the economy is weak and inflation is
low, the Fed usually lowers rates to stimulate the economy.  When
the economy is growing rapidly, the Fed usually pushes up short-
term rates to moderate economic growth and keep inflation in
check.)

The Fed's efforts led to higher interest on the securities in which
the Fund invests and, ultimately, to a higher fund yield.  The
higher-rate trend leveled off last spring, then reversed in July,
when the Fed lowered short-term rates slightly in the face of
weaker economic data and unthreatening inflation reports.

As we enter a new fiscal year, we expect the economy will continue
to expand at a modest pace in the months ahead while inflation
remains largely in check.  In such a scenario, we think it's
probable that the Fed will either take a hands-off approach
regarding short-term rates or nudge them down a bit more.  Given
that outlook, we have begun to gradually increase the average
maturity of the securities in the portfolio and expect to continue
that process as the year progresses.

Managed Fund

From the portfolio managers

Rebounds in the stock and bond markets led to improving performance
by Managed Fund during the last several months of the fiscal year
(September 1994 through August 1995).  For the period as a whole,
the total return was nearly 12%.  (This figure does not reflect
expenses that apply to the variable accounts or subaccounts or to
the annuity contract.)

Because of the detrimental effect of the higher-interest-rate trend
that dominated almost all of 1994, both stocks and bonds remained
in retreat when the period began in the fall of last year.  (Higher
interest rates automatically depress bond prices, and that
condition usually spreads to stocks.)

The turning point for the markets and the Fund came in December,
when long-term interest rates stabilized and, at times, even moved
lower.  That immediately helped bonds get back on their feet and
began to rouse the slumping stock market.  The positive momentum
reached full swing by late winter and continued through the close
of fiscal year.

In October 1994, we made an asset allocation change, shifting more
money into stocks -- a move based on our belief that stocks would
outperform bonds.  While this assessment proved to be correct, we
did not anticipate the remarkable rally that stocks would stage. 
Ultimately, a severe downturn in our Mexican stocks and the
relatively conservative domestic investment approach we took, which
included a somewhat higher-than-normal cash position, resulted in
the stock portion of the portfolio lagging the popular market
averages until the last three months of the fiscal year.

As always, we maintained a broad mix of stocks during the period. 
Overall, our substantial exposure to stocks in the electronics,
financial services, aerospace, computer and telecommunications
industries proved to be highly productive.  On the other hand, our
holdings in energy, health-care services, foreign and REIT (real
estate investment trusts) were relatively poor performers.

On the bond side of the portfolio, we maintained a well-diversified
group of holdings, including U.S. Treasury, varying grades of
corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities.  Particularly
beneficial to our bond performance was our decision to lengthen the
duration of the portfolio -- a strategy that makes the portfolio
more sensitive to interest-rate changes.  In this case, when long-
term rates came down, the portfolio enjoyed a performance boost.

Looking to the current fiscal year, we are maintaining our emphasis
on stocks of high-quality companies, complemented by our bond
holdings.  As we have for some time, we continue to focus on
companies that: have a strong presence in foreign markets; are
restructuring; should benefit from telecommunications advances and
serve price-conscious consumers.  All in all, we expect this mix to
provide a better return than a pure stock portfolio if the market
retreats, while still allowing us to capture a good portion of the
upswing should the market remain strong.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Each Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end management
investment company.  Shares of each Fund are sold through the
purchase of an annuity contract offered by IDS Life Insurance
Company (IDS Life) or its affiliates.

The significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are
summarized as follows:

Valuation of securities
Securities traded on national securities exchanges or included in
the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last quoted
sales price at the close of each business day; securities traded
over-the-counter but not included in the NASDAQ National Market
System and securities for which a last quoted sales price is not
readily available are valued at the mean of the bid and asked
prices. Bonds and other securities are valued at fair value as
determined by the board of directors when market quotations are not
readily available.  Determination of fair value involves, among
other things, references to market indexes, matrixes and data from
independent brokers. Short-term securities in Capital Resource
Fund, International Equity Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund, Special
Income Fund and Managed Fund maturing in more than 60 days from the
valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market
value based on the current interest rates; those maturing in 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost.  Pursuant to Rule 2a-7
of the 1940 Act, all securities in Moneyshare Fund are valued at
amortized cost which approximates market value in order to maintain
a constant net asset value of $1 per share.

Option transactions
In order to produce incremental earnings, protect gains and
facilitate buying and selling of securities for investment
purposes, the Funds may buy and sell put and call options and write
covered call options on portfolio securities and write cash-secured
puts.  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.  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.  The
Funds also have the additional risk of not being able to enter into
a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. 
The Funds also may write over-the-counter options where the
completion of the obligation is dependent upon the credit standing
of the other party.

Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or
depreciation is recorded.  The Funds will realize a gain or loss
upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an
option is exercised the proceeds on sales for a written call
option, the purchase cost for a written put option or the cost of a
security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the
amount of premium received or paid.
<PAGE>
PAGE 31
Futures transactions
In order to gain exposure to or protect itself from changes in the
market, the Funds may buy and sell stock index and interest rate
futures contracts.  The Funds also may buy or write put and call
options on futures contracts.  Risks of entering into futures
contracts and related options include the possibility that there
may be an illiquid market and a change in the value of the contract
or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds may be required to
deposit either cash or securities in an amount (initial margin)
equal to a certain percentage of the contract value.  Subsequent
payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Funds each
day.  The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes
in the contract value and recorded as unrealized gains and losses. 
The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is
closed or expires.

Foreign currency translations and forward foreign currency
contracts Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the
closing rate of exchange.  Foreign currency amounts related to the
purchase or sale of securities, income and expenses are translated
at the exchange rate on the transaction date.  In the statement of
operations, net realized gains or losses from foreign currency
transactions may arise from sales of foreign currency, closed
forward contracts, exchange gains or losses realized between the
trade date and settlement dates on securities transactions, and
other translation gains or losses on dividends, interest income and
foreign withholding taxes.

The Funds also may enter into forward foreign currency exchange
contracts for operational purposes.  The net U.S. dollar value of
foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the
Funds and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are
determined using foreign currency exchange rates from an
independent pricing service.  The Funds are subject to the credit
risk that the other party will not complete the obligations of the
contract.

Illiquid securities
At Aug. 31, 1995, investments in securities for Special Income Fund
included issues that are illiquid.  The Funds currently limit
investments in illiquid securities to 10% of the net assets, at
market value, at the time of purchase.  The aggregate value of such
securities at Aug. 31, 1995, was $10,233,991, which represents 0.6
percent of net assets for Special Income Fund.  Pursuant to
guidelines adopted by the board of directors, certain unregistered
securities are determined to be liquid and are not included within
the limitations specified above.

Federal income taxes
Since each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies
and to distribute all of its taxable income to the Variable
Accounts, no provision for income or excise taxes is required. 
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax
purposes.<PAGE>
PAGE 32
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may
differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because
of the deferral of losses on certain futures contracts, the
recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary
income (loss) for tax purposes, the timing and amount of market
discount recognized as ordinary income, foreign tax credits and
losses deferred due to "wash sale" transactions. The character of
distributions made during the year from net investment income or
net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization
for federal income tax purposes. The effect on dividend
distributions of certain book-to-tax differences is presented as
"excess distributions" in the statement of changes in net assets. 
Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year
in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the
income or realized gains (losses) are recorded by the Funds.

On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, due to permanent
book-to-tax differences, undistributed net investment income and
accumulated net realized gain (loss) have been increased
(decreased), resulting in net reclassification adjustments to
additional paid-in capital as follows:

Dividends
At Aug. 31, 1995, dividends were declared of $2.782 per share for
Capital Resource Fund, $.051 for International Equity Fund, $.031
for Aggressive Growth Fund,  $.080 for Special Income Fund, $.004
for Moneyshare Fund and $.098 for Managed Fund payable Sept. 1,
1995. Distributions to the Variable Accounts are recorded as of the
close of business on the record date and are payable on the first
business day following the record date.  Dividends from net
investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for Special
Income Fund and Moneyshare Fund and declared and paid quarterly for
Capital Resource Fund, International Equity Fund, Aggressive Growth
Fund and Managed Fund.  Capital gain distributions (if any) will be
made annually.  However, an additional capital gain distribution
may be made during the fiscal year in order to comply with the
Internal Revenue Code, as applicable to regulated investment
companies.

Other
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities
are purchased or sold.  Dividend income is recognized on the
ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of
premium and discount on a level yield basis, is accrued daily.

2. Investment management and services agreement

Under the terms of a prior agreement that ended March 19, 1995,
Capital Resource Fund, International Equity Fund, Aggressive Growth
Fund, Special Income Fund and Managed Fund paid IDS Life a fee for
managing its investments, recordkeeping and other specified
services.  The fee was a percentage of each Fund's average daily
net assets consisting of a group asset charge in reducing
percentages from 0.46% to 0.32% annually on the combined net assets
of all non-money market funds in the IDS MUTUAL FUND GROUP and an
individual annual asset charge of 0.25% of average daily net assets
for each Fund, except International Equity Fund.  International
Equity Fund's individual annual asset charge was 0.50%.

Also under the terms of a prior agreement, the investment
management and services fee for Moneyshare Fund was paid to IDS
Life.  The fee was computed on a graduated fee scale equal on an
annual basis to 0.54% of the first $1 billion of average daily net
assets and scaled down thereafter in reducing percentages of each
succeeding $500 million to 0.46% of all average daily net assets in
excess of $2.5 billion.

Effective March 20, 1995, the Funds entered into a new agreement
with IDS Life for managing investments, recordkeeping and other
services that are based solely on the assets of each Fund. The
management fee is a percentage of each Fund's average daily net
assets in reducing percentages from 0.63% to 0.57% annually for
Capital Resource, 0.87% to 0.795% for International Equity, 0.65%
to 0.575% for Aggressive Growth, 0.61% to 0.535% for Special
Income, 0.51% to 0.44% for Moneyshare and 0.63% to 0.55% for
Managed.

IDS Life, in turn, pays to American Express Financial Corporation
(AEFC) a fee based on a percentage of each Fund's average daily net
assets for the year. This fee is equal to 0.50% for International
Equity Fund and 0.25% for each remaining fund.  In addition to
paying its own management fee, brokerage commissions, taxes and
costs of certain legal services, each Fund will reimburse IDS Life
an amount equal to the cost of certain expenses incurred and paid
by IDS Life in connection with each Fund's operations. The Funds
also pay custodian fees to American Express Turst Company, an
affiliate of IDS Life.  The reimbursement paid by Moneyshare Fund
will be limited to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Also effective March 20, 1995, the Funds entered into an
Administrative Services Agreement with AEFC. Under this agreement,
each Fund pays AEFC for administration and accounting services at a
percentage of each Fund's average daily net assets in reducing
percentages from 0.05% to 0.03% annually for Capital Resource,
0.06% to 0.035% for International Equity, 0.06% to 0.035% for
Aggressive Growth, 0.05% to 0.025% for Special Income, 0.03% to
0.02% for Moneyshare and 0.04% to 0.02% for Managed.

The Funds have a retirement plan for its independent directors. 
Upon retirement, directors receive monthly payments equal to
one-half of the retainer fee for as many months as they served as a
director up to 120 months.  There are no death benefits.  The plan
is not funded but the Funds recognizes the cost of payments during
the time the directors serve on the Board.  The retirement plan
expense for the year ended Aug. 31, 1995 amounted to $34,211 for
Capital Resource Fund, $12,333 for International Equity Fund,
$6,265 for Aggressive Growth Fund, $16,913 for Special Income Fund,
$90 for Moneyshare Fund and $26,246 for Managed Fund.

3. Securities transactions

For the year ended Aug. 31, 1995, cost of purchases and proceeds
from sales of securities aggregated, respectively, $1,557,902,434
and $1,509,500,672 for Moneyshare Fund; cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of securities (other than short-term
obligations) aggregated, respectively,  $3,290,598,747 and
$2,793,528,177 for Capital Resource Fund; $796,997,285 and

$803,674,931 for Special Income Fund; $1,944,561,485 and
$1,703,214,649 for Managed Fund.  Net realized gains (losses) on
investment sales are determined on the basis of identified costs.

Brokerage commissions paid to brokers affiliated with IDS Life were
1,057,532 for Capital Resource Fund, $375,342 for Aggressive Growth
Fund and $226,262 for Managed Fund for the year ended Aug. 31,
1995.
