DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A PAN-WORLD MARKET OVERVIEW

    The  factors that adversely affected the financial markets for the first two
quarters of  last year  --  an overheated  economy,  rising interest  rates  and
inflation -- reversed themselves and helped both the stock and bond markets move
higher.  Evidence of a slowing U.S. economy without a recession and a peaking of
inflation, combined with an easing move by the Federal Reserve Board, have  sent
the  markets to new highs. Moreover, in  contrast with last year, the U.S. stock
market advance has been  very broad, with all  industries participating and  all
capitalization sectors (large, medium and small companies) rising.

    New  factory orders continued to buoy  production early in the year, despite
evidence of  a  slowdown  in inventory  build-ups.  Productivity  gains,  though
declining  from 1994's levels, continued to  sustain corporate earnings, even as
economic expectations became  more subdued.  Globally, the U.S.  market was  the
beneficiary  of a "flight to quality," as the Mexican financial crisis triggered
declines in other emerging markets worldwide.

    Led by technology and  financial stocks, the U.S.  equity market scaled  new
heights  during the  first six  months of  1995, increasing  an impressive 20.42
percent, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the Standard &  Poor's
500  Composite Stock Price Index and  NASDAQ Composite Index increased 20.20 and
24.14 percent,  respectively). Clearly,  the bulls  had much  to celebrate:  the
expectation of slower U.S. growth (without a recession), the ongoing containment
of  inflation, continued corporate profit  increases, a proposed balanced budget
bill, slower growth  overseas, a  strengthening U.S. dollar  and the  conviction
that the Federal Reserve Board's work may be done for this cycle.

    Near-term,  the  market  could  easily  pull  up  for  a  breather  as  both
individuals and institutions rush to take some profits. Still, barring seriously
negative news on the economic front or in the bond market, the foundation for  a
continued  strong domestic equity market remains  in place as the housing sector
responds to lower interest rates, business fixed-investment remains vigorous and
work is done in Washington, D.C. to lower the U.S. trade deficit.

INTEREST RATES DECLINE

    After  suffering  sharp   declines  last   year  as   interest  rates   rose
significantly,  the  fixed-income markets  began to  show signs  of life  in the
fourth quarter of 1994 and started a full-scale rebound during the first quarter
of 1995. By the end of the first quarter, the yield on the 2-year U.S.  Treasury
note  had declined to 6.79 percent from 7.76 percent at year end 1994, while the
30-year U.S. Treasury bond was yielding 7.43 percent, down from 7.88 percent  at
year end.

    The  bond market rally continued through  the second quarter of 1995. Yields
on intermediate- and long-term  bonds declined to levels  not seen since  before
the  Federal Reserve  Board began  its restrictive  monetary policy  in February
1994. As of June 30, 1995, the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond was  6.62
percent.  On the short-term end of the maturity spectrum, rates have remained in
line with the federal-funds target rate, which stood at 6.00 percent on June 30,
but was cut to  5.75 percent on July  6. At the end  of the second quarter,  the
2-year  U.S. Treasury note was yielding 5.79  percent. Much of the bond market's
strength in the second quarter can be attributed to the continued perception  of
an  economic slowdown,  as employment, housing  starts and  automobile sales all
declined. At this point, it
<PAGE>
appears that  the Federal  Reserve Board  may have  successfully orchestrated  a
"soft  landing," which  suggests that the  economy is growing  quickly enough to
avoid recession, yet not so rapidly  that inflationary pressure becomes a  major
issue.

    Looking  ahead,  today's low  interest  rates could  re-ignite  the economy,
especially in such interest-rate sensitive  areas as housing. Should this  occur
during  the second  half of  the year, interest  rates could  again edge upward.
Inflation has accelerated relative to 1994 and is projected to be pushed forward
by continued economic growth and the U.S. dollar's lower value versus other  key
currencies,  particularly the deutschemark and yen.  Interest rates in the money
markets will probably  remain at or  near current levels.  In the bond  markets,
however,  yields that reacted too  negatively in 1994 and  too positively in the
first half of 1995 may adjust upward later in the year.

AN IMPROVING GLOBAL CLIMATE

    Slowing growth, diminishing pressure on inflation and bond market rallies --
the underlying factors  which have been  driving the advance  of the U.S.  stock
market  for  the past  six months  -- are  being repeated  in the  core European
markets (Germany,  France,  the Netherlands),  suggesting  stronger  performance
ahead.  In Japan, the  Kobe earthquake, a  weak and indecisive  government and a
strong yen were among the factors which drove the Nikkei back to its August 1992
low. Very slow growth is anticipated in Japan for the remainder of fiscal  1995.
We  believe the Japanese  stock market is close  to exhaustion, with substantial
bearish expectations  reflected  in  current  stock  prices.  It  would  not  be
surprising to see a sharp rally when the bottom is reached.

    Following  excessive  pessimism and  sharp  corrections in  the  first three
months of 1995,  the emerging markets  of Latin America  stabilized and  sharply
rebounded  off  their  first-quarter  lows. Despite  the  currency  turmoil that
resulted from the situation in Mexico,  the emerging economies of South  America
generally  appear  intact,  led by  Chile,  Peru  and Brazil.  Mexico,  which as
recently as last November  was expected to have  strong growth and  single-digit
inflation,  is mired in a severe recession  with inflation expected to exceed 50
percent this year. However, in what is  a promising sign for Latin America as  a
whole, Mexico's economic stabilization program has shown significant progress in
reducing monthly inflation and in reversing the country's trade deficit.

    With  moderating growth and  prospects of lower interest  rates in the major
economies,  the  emerging  markets   of  Southeast  Asia   (which  tend  to   be
dollar-linked) have stabilized, witnessed sharp rallies and seem to be forming a
base  for  strong performance  going forward.  With  increased liquidity  in the
global financial markets, as well as an expected improvement in earnings  growth
in 1996, the Asian markets can also look forward to an improved environment over
the  next six months. Overall, while we  can not rule out short-term volatility,
we believe that the emerging markets  of the world continue to offer  attractive
longer-term investment opportunities.

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

    As  of June 30, 1995, the Money Market Portfolio had assets of approximately
$250 million, with an  average life of 74  days. The Portfolio's annualized  net
yield  for the  six-month period ended  June 30,  1995 was 5.67  percent and its
annualized yield for June was 5.68 percent.

    While rates available to the Portfolio rose during the second half of  1994,
the  first  half of  1995 brought  stable and  slightly declining  yield levels.
Three-month U.S. Treasury  bills, which  rose during  the second  half of  1994,
stabilized  during the first five months of 1995, before declining in late June.
Inflation rates have been well behaved, with consumer prices for 1994 rising  by
2.7  percent, and the fixed weight price index  has been rising at a 3.3 percent
annual rate so far in 1995.
<PAGE>
    On June 30,  1995, approximately 76  percent of the  Portfolio consisted  of
high  quality commercial paper, with 10 percent invested in short-term notes and
certificates of deposit of major, financially strong commercial banks, 8 percent
invested in bankers' acceptances issued by such institutions, and the  remaining
6  percent invested in federal  agency obligations. As of  June 30, more than 70
percent of the Portfolio's assets were due to mature in less than three  months.
Therefore,  we believe the  Portfolio is well positioned  for stability of value
with a high  degree of  liquidity. We  continue to  operate the  Portfolio in  a
straight-forward,  conservative style without  "structured notes" or derivatives
which fluctuate excessively when interest rates change.

QUALITY INCOME PLUS PORTFOLIO

    During the six-month  period ended June  30, 1995, the  Quality Income  Plus
Portfolio  posted a  total return  of 14.63,  outperforming the  Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 11.44 percent during the same period.

    The Portfolio had net assets exceeding $470 million. As of June 30, 1995, 60
percent of assets  were invested  in corporate notes  and bonds,  31 percent  in
AAA-rated  mortgage-backed securities, 5 percent in U.S. government instruments,
4 percent  in Yankee  sovereign notes  and  bonds and  4 percent  in  short-term
investments.  This  asset  allocation  combined  with  the  portfolio's weighted
average credit  rating  of  "AA"  and a  14.2  year  weighted  average  maturity
positions  the  Portfolio to  benefit from  the  current low  inflation economic
environment. The diversified asset allocation strategy is reviewed on an ongoing
basis and is expected  to be maintained throughout  the remainder of 1995,  with
asset  shifts  occurring regularly  to capitalize  upon the  constantly changing
investment environment.

HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO

    The high-yield market recorded strong  performance during the first half  of
1995,  benefiting  from  the rally  in  the  U.S. Treasury  market,  which drove
long-term rates significantly lower. Also  benefiting the high-yield market  was
the  continued  strength in  corporate  earnings. However,  as  is typical  in a
decelerating economic environment, high-yield  bonds generally lagged the  rally
in  U.S. Treasuries,  as concerns  over the  severity of  the economic slowdown,
offset some of the benefit of lower interest rates.

    Against this backdrop,  the High Yield  Portfolio posted a  total return  of
9.52  percent, compared to a  return of 10.77 percent  for the First Boston High
Yield Index.

    Our positioning of the portfolio  remained essentially unchanged during  the
first  half of  1995, with  a continued  emphasis on  discounted B-rated issues.
Given their significant yield advantage over U.S. Treasuries and their  relative
value, we feel this sector offers attractive total return potential. Despite the
attractiveness  of the market, we do continue  to have a large liquidity cushion
on hand (15 to  20 percent in  defensive type securities)  in order to  maintain
maximum portfolio flexibility.

    Looking  ahead,  the long-term  prospects for  the high-yield  market appear
favorable. As  a result  of the  market's recent  recession fears,  the  B-rated
sector  looks quite attractive today, with many issues yielding 12 to 13 percent
(550-650 basis points over U.S. Treasuries) and trading at substantial discounts
($85 to 95). Given the strong credit  quality that exists today, along with  the
probability  of a pickup in the economy as a result of the recent lower interest
rate environment,  the high-yield  market  appears to  offer a  very  attractive
risk/reward  tradeoff. However, we realize that over the short-term, volatility,
both up and  down, will likely  continue as  the markets attempt  to assess  the
latest economic data.

UTILITIES PORTFOLIO

    The  combination of  lower interest  rates, recovering  fundamentals for the
utilities industry and a record-setting stock market resulted in a total  return
of 12.23 percent for the Utilities Portfolio.
<PAGE>
    While  the  threat  of  competition  within  the  electric  utility industry
continued to  dominate their  fundamental outlook  and market  behavior, it  has
become  evident that  a more  rational view  of the  resulting changing business
conditions prevailed among investors. The most convincing event that provided  a
sense  of  building  optimism  toward the  electric  sector  was  the California
Regulatory assessment that existing investor-owned companies should be given the
opportunity  to  recover   all  legitimately   classified  stranded   investment
(investments  made by a utility company in such items as plant and equipment and
power lines which may not be fully utilized in the advent of open  competition).
As  a  result,  investors were  relieved  of  the immediate  threat  of industry
decomposure including dividend  cuts and  omissions. Most  important, it  became
apparent  that  their  would  be many  beneficiaries  during  and  following the
transition from the monopoly status to true competition.

    The  push  for  telecommunications  legislation  remains  among  the   major
political  objectives of the  current administration. The  1995 version compared
with that of that  of prior years  has a greater  sense of balance  to it. As  a
result,  the telecommunications sector, led by  the Bell Operating Companies has
shown good performance in 1995.

    Mild-weather has  stymied natural  gas prices  for the  past twelve  months,
highlighted  by the relatively low demand  1994-95 winter. Despite the near-term
week fundamentals, the  industry on balance  performed admirably throughout  the
first  six months of 1995, while the  long-term outlook for the industry remains
attractive.

    The Portfolio has maintained its near fully invested position with  mid-year
asset  allocation of  89 percent equity,  10 percent fixed-income  and 1 percent
cash. Within the equity component, 50 percent are electric utilities, 36 percent
telecommunications and  14  percent  natural gas.  Foreign  securities  (ADR's),
primarily telecommunications related, account for 7 percent of net assets.

DIVIDEND GROWTH PORTFOLIO

    For  the sixth-month  period, the Dividend  Growth Portfolio  posted a total
return of 19.52 percent compared to a total return of 20.20 percent for the  S&P
500  Index. The reason for the slight  lag in performance was the market's focus
on smaller capitalization  issues (particularly technology  stocks); an area  in
which the Portfolio has little or no representation.

    Net  assets of  the Portfolio  totaled $707.2 million  on June  30, 1995; an
increase of $134.3 million from the end of 1994. Two new common stock  positions
were  added during the  past six months: KeyCorp  and Sprint Corp. Additionally,
two portfolio positions were  eliminated with the sale  of Bankers Trust NY  and
GTE  Corp. As  of June 30,  the portfolio  consisted of 46  equity issues spread
among 30 different industry groups, plus six U.S. Treasury bond and note issues.

    Looking forward, the Portfolio will continue to focus its investments in the
more conservative, larger capitalization issues.

CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO

    For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Capital Growth Portfolio  posted
a  total return of 15.37  percent compared with a  total return of 20.20 percent
for the S&P 500 Index. The reason for the Portfolio's underperformance  relative
to   the  market  was  the  market's  focus  on  smaller  capitalization  issues
(particularly technology  stocks); an  area in  which the  Portfolio has  little
representation.

    The  Portfolio had total  net assets of  $56.3 million on  June 30, 1995 and
owned 43 equity  issues spread among  36 different industry  groups. During  the
six-month  period,  portfolio positions  which were  sold were  Central Fidelity
Banks, Banc One Corp. and Crawford & Co. Class B. New additions to the portfolio
included American International Group, Home Depot and U.S. HealthCare.
<PAGE>
    Looking forward, the  Portfolio will  continue to focus  its investments  in
issues which have a long, consistent record of revenue and earnings growth.

GLOBAL DIVIDEND GROWTH PORTFOLIO

    For  the six-month  period, the  Global Dividend  Growth Portfolio  posted a
return of 10.97 percent compared to a return of 8.20 percent for the MSCI  World
Index.

    Net  assets of the Portfolio totaled $166.5 million on June 30, 1995. During
the past six months, the  number of issues held  by the Portfolio has  increased
from 79 at the year end 1994 to 100 on June 30. Examples of issues added include
Minnesota  Mining  &  Mfg., Conrail,  Dayton  Hudson  and KeyCorp  in  the U.S.;
Matsushita Electric Industrial in Japan; Nestle AG in Switzerland; AMMB Holdings
in Malaysia and Lloyds Bank  PLC in the U.K. These  investments are made in  the
world's largest country markets.

    During  the  period, assets  committed  to the  U.S.  were increased  by 1.5
percentage points  to  29.7  percent.  This was  done  in  anticipation  of  the
possibility  that  the  U.S.  dollar  could  strengthen  against  major  foreign
currencies and was accomplished by reducing assets committed to Italy, Japan and
the U.K.

EUROPEAN GROWTH PORTFOLIO

    During the first six months of 1995, the European Growth Portfolio posted  a
return of 15.93 percent. During the same six month period, the MSCI Europe Index
and the MSCI World Index returned 11.56 percent and 8.20 percent, respectively.

    The global investment trends that had influenced equity markets in late 1994
continued  to dominate the region  in the early months  of 1995: the weakness of
the U.S.  dollar, concerns  over rising  U.S. interest  rates, the  collapse  in
Mexico  and other emerging  markets. However, despite  the relatively poor local
currency  performance  of  the  European  markets  in  the  first  quarter,  the
underlying  corporate  and  economic  data coming  out  of  Europe  continued to
improve. Thus  far in  1995, inflation  has posed  little threat,  the  economic
recovery  has  continued and  corporate  earnings are  maintaining  their upward
momentum. During the course of the second quarter, the global influences  became
more  benign: currencies  relatively stable,  a strong  bond market  rally and a
perceived turn in the interest rate cycle in the U.S. As a result, the  positive
European factors outlined above came more into focus and the markets moved along
strongly. Some of the driving forces behind the rise in the U.S. equity markets,
such  as  the  surge  in  technology, fed  into  Europe  with  technology stocks
performing very strongly.

    Politics also featured prominently in Europe during the first six months  of
1995.  The  French  stock market  began  the  year strongly  in  anticipation of
economic stimulation  and  looser monetary  policy  under a  new  President  and
Administration.  The Portfolio, which  remains fully weighted  in French stocks,
benefited from a strong  first quarter. By contrast,  the shifting economic  and
political scene in Italy gave rise to a very sharp sell off in Italian stocks in
February.  Investor  confidence  has  not recovered  and  the  Portfolio remains
underweighted in Italy. Spain has also  been buffeted by financial and  security
scandals  surrounding Prime  Minister Gonzalez's  government. As  in France, the
stock market is anticipating a change in administration and Spanish stocks  have
been  making positive  gains. In the  United Kingdom, the  stock market suffered
only a temporary setback on the political uncertainty when Prime Minister  Major
overcame a challenge from within his own party.

    The  Portfolio was kept  fully invested during the  period under review. The
Portfolio's cyclical stance  that prevailed in  1993 and 1994  was shifted to  a
more  balanced split  between cyclicals  and financials  and growth  stocks. Key
positions that positively impacted performance during the period included  Nokia
(telecommunications  equipment) in Finland,  LVMH (luxury goods)  in France, SAP
(software) in Germany,  Roche (pharmaceutical)  in Switzerland,  MoDo and  Stora
(forestry) in Sweden and Granada (media) and Glaxo (pharmaceutical) in the U.K.
<PAGE>
    Looking ahead, the prospects for the economic recovery continuing throughout
1995 are positive. In local currency terms, most of the Continental markets have
made  only erratic  progress since  the bull  market of  1993. In  the meantime,
earnings have been progressing steadily and are not expected to peak until  1997
in  most industries. Valuations are  broadly supportive of markets, particularly
in Scandinavia. All  of these factors  bode well for  the Portfolio's  long-term
prospects.

PACIFIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO

    For  the six-month period ended June  30, 1995, the Pacific Growth Portfolio
posted a total return of 4.01 percent.

    The period under review  got off to  a poor start  with all markets  falling
back  in  January on  the back  of a  general reassessment  of currency  risk in
emerging markets  following  the  Mexican  crisis.  In  fundamental  terms,  the
economies  of the Pacific Basin have historically  been run much better and in a
much less risky fashion than  that of Mexico. Many  countries in the region  run
current  account surpluses and, even  those which are in  deficit have tended to
finance through  long-term  capital  inflows  in  the  form  of  foreign  direct
investment  in plant  and equipment, rather  than the  short-term capital market
flows  which   typified  the   Mexican   experience.  Despite   these   superior
characteristics, a number of currencies in the region (the Hong Kong dollar, the
Thai  baht and the  Indonesian rupiah) came  under severe pressure  in the early
weeks of 1995, with the  result that the local  authorities had to respond  with
significantly  higher interest rates. Predictably,  this negatively impacted the
stock markets.

    By late January, the bearish sentiment in the region reached a crescendo and
the valuation of  regional stock  markets had fallen  back to  levels last  seen
before  the 1993 bull market took off,  and similar to those obtained during the
Persian Gulf crisis of 1990 and  1991. However, later in the quarter  increasing
indications  that the U.S. interest rate environment was stabilizing underpinned
a recovery in sentiment across the region.

    The second quarter showed a much improved performance by most Pacific  Basin
markets.  The recovery which  had commenced at  the end of  the first quarter in
Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, continued in the second quarter and broadened
out to include the smaller regional markets, many of which saw explosive rallies
in May. Notable exceptions to this were Japan, Korea and Taiwan, which  remained
weak.

    The  Taiwanese market  was hit  by a  combination of  political and economic
concerns including inflation,  upcoming elections and  increasing cross  straits
tension. Korea also put in a poor performance with investors expecting a tighter
monetary  policy  after  the  June  regional elections  and  the  collapse  of a
department store in central Seoul. The  Japanese market fell by over 20  percent
during  the first half  of the year  in yen terms,  with the currency's strength
overshadowing the market  for much of  the period. Policy  paralysis within  the
ruling coalition, together with a disappointing corporate results season further
depressed sentiment.

    Although  Asian  equity markets  have enjoyed  a  rally over  recent months,
valuations remain at the low end of historic ranges. The July cut in U.S.  rates
was  particularly encouraging for  Asian markets given the  linkage of rates via
currency pegs. The growth momentum of the region remains intact, with  corporate
earnings  growth in  the high teens  and upward revisions  to forecasts possible
given a more benign interest rate  environment. With the interest rate cycle  on
the  turn, investors are likely to focus increasingly on the strong fundamentals
of this region, providing the impetus for markets to move higher. Encouraged  by
a  weaker  yen and  hopes that  the Bank  of  Japan may  be closer  to injecting
liquidity back into the system, and despite selling pressure from life insurance
companies, the Japanese market has the potential to move higher as well.
<PAGE>
EQUITY PORTFOLIO

    For the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, the Equity Portfolio posted  a
return  of 19.49 percent compared  to a return of  17.50 percent for the average
growth annuity fund.  As of June  30, 1995, the  Portfolio's net assets  totaled
$269 million.

    As  of the close of  the second quarter, the  Portfolio was invested in four
principal  sectors:   technology   (computer   software,   semiconductors,   and
semiconductor  capital  equipment),  interest sensitive  (banks,  insurance, and
financial  miscellaneous),   services   (media,  entertainment,   lodging,   and
consumer/business  services), and  health care  (drugs and  medical supply). The
Portfolio also maintained some  commitments in select  cyclical groups that  had
attractive  supply/demand characteristics  and material  sales abroad (aluminum,
paper, and agricultural).

    Looking forward, the Portfolio's manager believes stable or falling interest
rates should prevent the economy from slipping into a full-fledged recession and
lead only  to a  brief respite  in economic  activity. Further  benefitting  the
Portfolio, it is anticipated that the economy will rebound in the second half of
1995,  as corporate balance  sheets remain strong and  real disposable income is
showing moderate gains.

MANAGED ASSETS PORTFOLIO

    Managed Assets  Portfolio, which  had correctly  held a  defensive  position
during  much of  1994, viewed  the interest rate  increases and  the already low
yield available from the S&P 500  Index as harbingers of potential market  risk.
Accordingly, the Portfolio maintained its risk-adverse allocation throughout the
first  six months of 1995,  resulting in a total return  of 3.34 percent for the
period.

    The Portfolio's allocation at the end  of June was approximately 10  percent
in  stocks and 90 percent in money  market instruments. The stock portion of the
portfolio was invested in 29  stocks representing 23 different industries.  Each
stock  offered a history of consistent  increases in dividends and earnings, the
expectation of  continued  dividend and  earnings  increases and  an  attractive
current yield. Holdings include DuPont, General Electric, May Department Stores,
Pitney-Bowes  and Schering-Plough. The money market portion of the portfolio was
invested in a combination of commercial paper and U.S. Treasury bills.

    Looking forward, the Portfolio will  continue to utilize the Managed  Assets
Allocation  Model  to  guide investment  strategy.  In  the near  term,  we will
continue to emphasize the preservation of  assets until such time as either  the
Federal  Reserve  begins  to  aggressively lower  interest  rates  or  until the
risk/reward outlook for equities has improved.

    We appreciate your  support of  Dean Witter Variable  Investment Series  and
look forward to serving your future needs.

Very truly yours,

</TABLE>

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

    A.  VALUATION  OF  INVESTMENTS--Money  Market:  Securities  are  valued   at
    amortized  cost which  approximates market value.  All remaining Portfolios:
    (1) equity  securities listed  or traded  on the  New York,  American  Stock
    Exchange  or  other domestic  or foreign  stock exchange  are valued  at its
    latest sale price on that exchange prior to the time when assets are valued;
    if there were no sales  that day, the security is  valued at the latest  bid
    price;  in cases where securities are traded  on more than one exchange, the
    securities are valued on  the exchange designated as  the primary market  by
    the  Trustees; (2) all other portfolio securities for which over-the-counter
    market quotations are readily available  are valued at the latest  available
    bid  price prior to the time of  valuation; (3) listed options are valued at
    the latest sale price  on the exchange  on which they  are listed unless  no
    sales  of such options have taken place that day, in which case they will be
    valued at the mean between their latest bid and asked price; (4) when market
    quotations are not  readily available,  portfolio securities  are valued  at
    their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by
    and under the general supervision of the Trustees; (5) certain of the Fund's
    portfolio securities may be valued by an outside pricing service approved by
    the  Trustees. The  pricing service  utilizes a  matrix system incorporating
    security quality, maturity  and coupon as  the evaluation model  parameters,
    and/or   research  and  evaluations  by   its  staff,  including  review  of
    broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining what  it
    believes  is the  fair valuation  of the  securities valued  by such pricing
    service; and (6) short-term debt securities  having a maturity date of  more
    than sixty days at the time of purchase are valued on a mark-to-market basis
    until sixty days prior to maturity and thereafter at amortized cost based on
    their value on the 61st day. Short-term securities having a maturity date of
    sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.

    B.  ACCOUNTING FOR  INVESTMENTS--Security transactions are  accounted for on
    the trade date (date the order to  buy or sell is executed). Realized  gains
    and losses on security transactions are determined
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER VARIABLE INVESTMENT SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    by   the  identified  cost  method.  Dividend  income  is  recorded  on  the
    ex-dividend date except  for certain dividends  on foreign securities  which
    are  recorded as soon  as the Fund  is informed after  the ex-dividend date.
    Interest income is accrued  daily except where  collection is not  expected.
    The  Money  Market Portfolio  amortizes premiums  and accretes  discounts on
    securities owned; gains and losses realized upon the sale of securities  are
    based  on amortized  cost. Discounts on  securities purchased  for all other
    Portfolios are amortized over the life of the respective securities.

    C. ACCOUNTING FOR OPTIONS--(1) Written options on debt obligations, equities
    and foreign currency: When the Fund writes  a call or put option, an  amount
    equal  to the premium received is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets
    and Liabilities as  a liability  which is  subsequently marked-to-market  to
    reflect  the current market value of the option written. If a written option
    either expires or the Fund enters  into a closing purchase transaction,  the
    Fund  realizes a gain or loss without  regard to any unrealized gain or loss
    on the underlying  security or currency  and the liability  related to  such
    option  is extinguished.  If a  written call  option is  exercised, the Fund
    realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security or currency
    and the proceeds  from such  sale are  increased by  the premium  originally
    received.  If a  put option  which the  Fund has  written is  exercised, the
    amount of the premium originally received  reduces the cost of the  security
    which  the Fund  purchases upon  exercise of  the option;  and (2) purchased
    options on debt obligations,  equities and foreign  currency: When the  Fund
    purchases  a  call  or  put  option, the  premium  paid  is  recorded  as an
    investment and  is  subsequently  marked-to-market to  reflect  the  current
    market value. If a purchased option expires, the Fund will realize a loss to
    the  extent of  the premium  paid. If  the Fund  enters into  a closing sale
    transaction, a  gain or  loss is  realized for  the difference  between  the
    proceeds  from the  sale and  the cost  of the  option. If  a put  option is
    exercised, the cost of the security sold upon exercise will be increased  by
    the  premium originally paid. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the
    security purchased upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally
    paid.

    D. FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSLATION--The books  and records  of the  Portfolios
    investing  in foreign currency denominated  transactions are translated into
    U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment
    securities,  other  assets  and   liabilities  and  forward  contracts   are
    translated  at the exchange rates  prevailing at the end  of the period; and
    (2) purchases, sales,  income and  expenses are translated  at the  exchange
    rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant
    exchange  gains and  losses are included  in the Statement  of Operations as
    realized and unrealized gain/loss on foreign exchange transactions. Pursuant
    to  U.S.   Federal  income   tax  regulations,   certain  foreign   exchange
    gains/losses  included in realized and  unrealized gain/loss are included in
    or are a reduction of ordinary  income for federal income tax purposes.  The
    Portfolios  do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising
    as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the
    market prices of the securities.

    E. FORWARD  FOREIGN  CURRENCY CONTRACTS--The  Fund  may enter  into  forward
    foreign  currency  contracts  which  are  valued  daily  at  the appropriate
    exchange rates.  The  resultant unrealized  exchange  gains and  losses  are
    included  in the Statement of Operations  as unrealized gain/loss on foreign
    exchange transactions. The Fund records realized gains or losses on delivery
    of the  currency  or  at  the time  the  forward  contract  is  extinguished
    (compensated) by entering into a closing transaction prior to delivery.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    F. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS--It is the Fund's policy to comply individually
    for  each  Portfolio  with the  requirements  of the  Internal  Revenue Code
    applicable to regulated investment  companies and to  distribute all of  its
    taxable  income  to its  shareholders.  Accordingly, no  federal  income tax
    provision is required.

    G. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS  TO SHAREHOLDERS--The Fund records  dividends
    and  distributions to  its shareholders  on the  record date.  The amount of
    dividends and  distributions from  net investment  income and  net  realized
    capital   gains  are  determined  in  accordance  with  federal  income  tax
    regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting  principles.
    These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
    nature.  To  the  extent these  differences  are permanent  in  nature, such
    amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their  federal
    tax-basis  treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
    Dividends and  distributions  which exceed  net  investment income  and  net
    realized  capital gains  for financial  reporting purposes  but not  for tax
    purposes are reported  as dividends in  excess of net  investment income  or
    distributions  in excess of  net realized capital gains.  To the extent they
    exceed net  investment  income  and  net  realized  capital  gains  for  tax
    purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

    H.  EXPENSES--Direct expenses  are charged  to the  respective Portfolio and
    general Fund expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets.

2.  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS--Pursuant to an Investment
Management Agreement, the  Fund pays  its Investment Manager  a management  fee,
accrued  daily and  payable monthly, by  applying the following  annual rates to
each Portfolios' net assets determined at the close of each business day:  Money
Market,  Quality  Income  Plus,  High Yield,  Equity  and  Managed Assets-0.50%;
Dividend Growth-0.625% to  the portion of  daily net assets  not exceeding  $500
million  and  0.50%  to  the  portion  of  net  assets  exceeding  $500 million;
Utilities-0.625% to the portion of daily  net assets not exceeding $500  million
and  0.55%  to  the  portion  of  net  assets  exceeding  $500  million; Capital
Growth-0.65%;  Global  Dividend  Growth-0.75%;   European  Growth  and   Pacific
Growth-1.0%.

    Under  the  terms  of the  Agreement,  in  addition to  managing  the Fund's
investments, the Investment Manager  maintains certain of  the Fund's books  and
records  and furnishes, at its own expense, office space, facilities, equipment,
clerical, bookkeeping and certain  legal services and pays  the salaries of  all
personnel,  including officers of  the Fund who are  employees of the Investment
Manager. The Investment Manager also bears the cost of telephone services, heat,
light, power and other utilities provided to the Fund.

    Under a Sub-Advisory Agreement  between Morgan Grenfell Investment  Services
Limited (the "Sub-Advisor") and the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisor provides
the European Growth and the Pacific Growth Portfolios with investment advice and
portfolio  management  relating to  the  Portfolios' investments  in securities,
subject to the overall  supervision of the  Investment Manager. As  compensation
for its services provided pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Investment
Manager  pays the Sub-Advisor  monthly compensation equal to  40% of its monthly
compensation.

5.  PURPOSES OF AND RISKS RELATING TO CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--The  Global
Dividend  Growth, European Growth  and Pacific Growth  Portfolios may enter into
forward  foreign  currency   contracts  ("forward   contracts")  to   facilitate
settlement  of foreign currency denominated  portfolio transactions or to manage
foreign  currency  exposure   associated  with   foreign  currency   denominated
securities. These Portfolios may also purchase put options on foreign currencies
in which the Portfolios' securities are denominated to protect against a decline
in value of such securities due to currency devaluations.

    At  June  30,  1995,  there  were  outstanding  forward  contracts  used  to
facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions and
to manage  foreign  currency  exposure.  Additionally, at  June  30,  1995,  the
European  Growth and Pacific Growth Portfolios have outstanding over-the-counter
purchased put options on foreign currencies.

    Forward contracts involve elements of market  risk in excess of the  amounts
reflected  in the Statement of Assets  and Liablilities. The Portfolios bear the
risk of  an unfavorable  change in  the foreign  exchange rates  underlying  the
forward  contracts. Risks may also arise  upon entering into these contracts and
over-the-counter purchased  put  options from  the  potential inability  of  the
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
