DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
 
We are pleased to provide this report for INA Investment Securities, Inc., cov-
ering the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
 
BOND RALLY MARKS FIRST QUARTER
 
Thus far in 1995, the markets major surprise has been an unexpectedly strong
rally in bonds. Slower growth and tame inflation numbers have helped build in-
vestor confidence that the Federal Reserve has indeed engineered a "soft land-
ing" for the economy.
 
Corporate bonds, including the high-yield sector, continued to perform well. A
significant decline in the number of new bonds issued, coupled with unabated
investor demand, kept spreads over Treasury bonds near historic lows. For the
same supply and demand reasons, most mortgage-backed securities also performed
well. The bond market returned a healthy +4.98% during the first quarter, as
measured by the Lehman Government/Corporate Index.
 
FUND PERFORMANCE
 
The Fund's performance compared favorably with the market index for the quar-
ter, returning +4.87% after deduction of expenses and reinvestment of divi-
dends, based on net asset value of underlying Fund assets.
 
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
The portfolio remains fully invested. On March 31, 1995, corporate and foreign
bonds were approximately 63.0% of portfolio holdings, U.S. government/agency
securities 32.2%, and cash and other assets 4.8%. Per-share net asset value was
$18.08, up from $17.56 on December 31, 1994. A dividend of $.33 was declared
during the first quarter.
 
OUTLOOK
 
There is a good chance the economy will accelerate again during late spring or
summer, prompting the Federal Reserve Bank to raise short-term rates and
tighten credit. Until longer term economic trends re-assert themselves, the
markets will most likely go on trading in a narrow range. We do not anticipate
making significant changes in the duration of the bonds in which we invest over
this period. We do expect to continue to favor non-Treasury securities, and to
maintain a presence in the high-yield market.
 
Sincerely,
 
\s\ R. Bruce Albro

INA Investment Securities, Inc.
