The investment results in the table and elsewhere in this report are for the
funds in American Variable Insurance Series. The variable annuity and life
insurance contracts that use the Series funds contain certain fees and expenses
not reflected here. Investment results through May 31, 1995 cover the first
half of our fiscal year. Investment results as of June 30, 1995 comply with a
Securities and Exchange Commission requirement to disclose 1-year, 5-year and
10-year investment results for American Variable Insurance Series as of the end
of the most recent calendar quarter.
 
THE FIGURES IN THIS REPORT REFLECT PAST RESULTS. FUND PRICE AND RETURN WILL
VARY, SO YOU MAY HAVE A GAIN OR LOSS OF PRINCIPAL WHEN YOU SELL YOUR UNITS.
UNITS ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY, THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, ANY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION, OR ANY OTHER AGENCY, ENTITY OR PERSON. Investments in stocks and
bonds are subject to risks, including stock and bond price fluctuations.
Accordingly, contractholders should maintain a long-term perspective.
Investments outside the U.S. (especially those in developing countries) are
subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political and
social instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards,
limited public information, possible changes in taxation, and periods of
illiquidity. High-yield bonds tend to be subject to greater price swings and
default risks than higher rated bonds and, of course, payment of interest and
principal is not assured. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment,
which can result in an accelerated return of principal. Money market
instruments offer stability and income but, as with any investment, results are
not guaranteed.

DEAR INVESTORS:
 
 This report covers the first half of fiscal 1995 - the six months ended May 31
- for American Variable Insurance Series, which serves as the underlying
investment vehicle for your contract. We are pleased to report that over this
period, all of the Series funds gained ground. For many funds, the advance was
considerable.
 
 Over the six-month period, investors witnessed a trade dispute with Japan, the
devaluation of the Mexican peso, and derivative-based losses by public and
private institutions both here and abroad. While such developments affected
certain foreign markets, they were largely shrugged off by U.S. investors. At
home, people chose to focus their attention on reports of strong corporate
earnings, healthy exports, a decline in intermediate- and long-term interest
rates, and continued low inflation.
 
 The U.S. stock and bond markets also have been buoyed by fresh hopes that a
newly elected Congress will slow the rate of government spending, cut the
federal budget deficit and provide additional incentives to save and invest.
While achieving these ends would indeed be positive for the financial markets
in the years to come, changes in the status quo often prove unsettling over the
short term. For now, of course, it remains to be seen what legislation will be
actually signed into law.
 
 We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for the Series funds, but
we would like to point out that after a brisk advance in stock or bond prices,
it is not unusual for markets to pause or retrace part of their earlier gains.
It is also worth noting that the current bull market in stocks in the United
States appears to be in a very mature phase. It has been 56 months since the
unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index experienced a correction of 10%
or more. Until now, the longest interval between such corrections was less than
four years, and the average is about one and a half years. As always, we
believe it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio and a long-term
perspective.
 
 Here are brief comments on the investment activities of each of the funds.
Longer term results can be found in the table on the opposite page.
 
 THE GROWTH FUND rose 16.4% over the six months ended May 31. This fund invests
in a wide range of companies that appear to offer superior opportunities for
long-term growth of capital. Throughout the period, strong consumer and
business demand for high-tech products lifted the stock prices of companies
such as Intel (+78.3%), LSI Logic (+57.3%), Adobe Systems (+56.8%), Silicon
Graphics (+26.4%), and Oracle Systems (+25.9%). Each of these issues is among
the fund's 10 largest holdings. Altogether, they account for more than 12% of
the fund's net assets. Media and entertainment companies such as News Corp.
(+38.6%), Walt Disney (+27.5%), and Capital Cities/ABC (+18.0%) also appear
among the 10 largest holdings. Tele-Communications, a major cable television
holding, was an exception to broad strength in this area, declining 11.1%. Both
technology and media/entertainment have been prominent themes in the fund for
many years and have made significant contributions to the fund's longer term
results. During the past six months, 21 holdings were eliminated from the
portfolio and 24 were added. Many of those stocks that were sold did not live
up to expectations or, conversely, did better than we felt they deserved, so
that the combination of valuation and future prospects was not as attractive.
The fund typically continues to hold out-of-favor stocks if their long-term
outlook remains promising. 
 
 THE INTERNATIONAL FUND had a gain of 4.0% during the first half of the fiscal
year. During this period, most major non-U.S. markets posted relatively modest
advances. In many cases these advances were augmented by the strengthening of
foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. While such a strengthening meant
that non-dollar-denominated assets were worth more in U.S. dollars, its effect
on the profitability of individual companies overseas was often more complex.
For instance, a higher deutsche mark had the effect of making German exports
more expensive. This was probably a factor in helping restrain German stock
prices, which rose an average of 1.2% in local currency, although the strong
mark translated this into a 12.4% gain in U.S. dollars, as measured by Morgan
Stanley Capital International Perspective. The fund was helped by the fact that
it had relatively few investments in Japan, where stock prices declined 17.0%
in local currency and 2.9% in U.S. dollars; but it was hurt by its investments
in Latin American markets, which fell sharply following the devaluation of the
Mexican peso last December. The latest six-month period served as a reminder
that emerging markets can be highly volatile. However, we believe that
carefully researched and selected investments in the common stocks of companies
domiciled in developing countries can - within reason and in moderation -
contribute to the fund's long-term investment results. At the end of May, 47%
of the fund's net assets were invested in European stocks; Asia and the Pacific
region accounted for 22% of net assets; investments in the Americas (including
Canada) and other areas accounted for approximately 7%, while 24% was held in
the form of cash and equivalents. Altogether, emerging market investments made
up 6.6% of fund assets at the fiscal close. The fund is not invested in U.S.
stocks.
 
 THE GROWTH-INCOME FUND increased 16.4% during the semi-annual period. Many of
the fund's interest-sensitive investments, which were adversely affected by
rising rates last year, rebounded strongly as interest rates again moved down.
One such area, banking, with approximately 8% of fund assets, constituted the
fund's largest industry sector as of May 31. U.S. companies with significant
exports or operations abroad were another area of strength for the fund. They
tended to be helped by changes in currency exchange rates that made their
products more competitive abroad and increased the value of overseas earnings
converted back to U.S. dollars. Of the 166 stocks held over the six-month
period, 153 advanced in price and 13 declined. Top gainers included Texas
Instruments (+53.2%), Bank of New York (+46.2%) and Signet Banking (+46.0%).
Like the other equity funds in the Series, the Growth-Income Fund currently
maintains a sizable cash position - 13.4% in its case - to help cushion any
market decline and take advantage of buying opportunities as they emerge.
 
 THE ASSET ALLOCATION FUND gained 15.8% since December 1. This fund is designed
to help contract-holders benefit from major market cycles without having to
make asset allocation decisions. The entire portfolio is managed as though it
constitutes the complete investment program of a prudent investor. The equity
portion of the fund, which represented 68.1% of the portfolio on May 31, is
similar to a conservative growth and income fund. The fixed-income portion of
the fund, which made up 22.7% of the portfolio, is equivalent to a
quality-oriented bond fund. The remaining 9.2% of the fund's assets was in
short-term securities. Because this fund holds stocks, bonds and money market
instruments, it is likely to offer a greater opportunity for stability than a
less-diversified portfolio. Over the past six months, the fund had the good
fortune to add to its equity investments, most notably in the retail and
financial service areas. Many of the fund's largest individual stock holdings
once again gained significant ground. They include, in order of their
percentage of net assets within the fund: American Home Products, the fund's
largest individual holding, which appreciated 13.1% during the first half of
the fiscal year; IBM (+31.8%); Warner-Lambert (+7.1%); Eli Lilly (+19.2%) and
Rockwell International (+34.7%). Of the 102 stocks held over the six-month
period, all but Long Island Lighting (-6.7%) appreciated in price.
 
 THE HIGH-YIELD BOND FUND rose 13.2%. Over the past six months, higher yielding
corporate bonds provided good returns. The general decline in interest rates
was the major contributor to results. The fund searches for good investments in
individual companies, making its investment approach similar to that of a stock
fund. Indeed, because of the price fluctuations inherent in the high-yield
market, this fund may be best suited for people who feel comfortable with the
risks and rewards traditionally associated with equity-type securities. The
fund's portfolio counselors make their decisions with a view toward the long
term and use intensive research to find individual firms that appear to be
undervalued by the market. 
 
 THE U.S. GOVERNMENT /AAA-RATED SECURITIES FUND gained 8.9%. Following one of
the worst bond markets on record in fiscal 1994, fixed-income markets rebounded
strongly as the Federal Reserve achieved its desired slowdown in the rate of
economic growth. Because slower growth tends to reduce demands for credit and
inflationary pressures, longer term interest rates declined. Consequently, bond
prices, which move inversely to interest rates, rallied. That left investors in
the fund with a measure of capital appreciation as well as income during the
first fiscal half. The fund is invested in top-rated fixed-income obligations,
many of which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government
for timely repayment of principal and interest. While the bulk of these assets
are in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, a quick look through the
portfolio listing that begins on page 33 will show bonds of various types.
These include privately originated mortgage-related securities, bonds of
international development authorities, and asset-backed securities consisting
of credit card receivables. The composition of the portfolio here, as in other
Series funds, is a result of a research-driven, value-oriented approach that
focuses on each security on a case-by-case basis.
 
 THE CASH MANAGEMENT FUND had a six-month return of 2.8% (equivalent to a 5.6%
annual rate). During the period, the fund benefited from the Federal Reserve
Board's efforts to tighten credit by raising short-term interest rates. Last
February 1, the Fed raised the federal funds rate, which is the rate banks
charge each other for overnight loans, for the seventh time in a 12-month span.
Because the fund holds short-term securities composed of commercial paper and
federal agency discount notes, it was well positioned to pass on increases in
short-term rates. (After the close of the fiscal period, the Fed lowered this
key interest rate a notch to 5.75% from 6.0% on July 6.) The fund's policy of
selecting only the highest grade investments remains firm. All of its
securities are assigned the top ratings from Standard & Poor's and Moody's
Investors Service, two major independent credit-rating agencies, or are
determined to be of comparable quality. This fund continues to offer an
alternative to investors who wish to temporarily reduce their stock or bond
investments, or for those using the fund as a base for making regular
investments into other funds.
 
 We appreciate your support and look forward to reporting to you again
following the close of the fiscal year on November 30. We will continue to work
hard to help you realize your objectives.

security at a later date.

1.  American Variable Insurance Series (the "series") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management
investment company with seven different funds.  The assets of each fund are
segregated, with each fund, in effect, accounted for separately.  The following
paragraphs summarize the significant accounting policies consistently followed
by the series in the preparation of its financial statements:
 
  Equity-type securities are stated at market value based upon closing sales
prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on the last business day of
the period or, for listed securities having no sales reported and for unlisted
securities, upon last-reported bid prices on that date.  Bonds and notes are
valued at prices obtained from a bond-pricing service provided by a major
dealer in bonds, when such prices are available; however, in circumstances
where the investment adviser deems it appropriate to do so, such securities
will be valued at the mean of their representative quoted bid and asked prices
or, if such prices are not available, at the mean of such prices for securities
of comparable maturity, quality, and type.  Short-term securities with original
or remaining maturities in excess of 60 days are valued at the mean of their
quoted bid and asked prices.  Short-term securities with 60 days or less to
maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board
of Trustees.
 
  As is customary in the mutual fund industry, securities transactions are
accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold.  Realized gains
and losses from securities transactions are reported on an identified cost
basis.  Dividend and interest income is reported on the accrual basis. 
Discounts on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective
securities.  The series does not amortize premiums on securities purchased. 
Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
 
  Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in
non-U.S. currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation
into U.S. dollars utilizing rates of exchange on the last business day of the
period.  Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are
calculated using the prevailing exchange rate as accrued.  The series does not
identify the portion of each amount shown in the series' statement of
operations under the caption "Realized Gain (Loss) and Unrealized Appreciation
on Investments" that arises from changes in non-U.S. currency exchange rates. 
 
  Common expenses incurred by the series are allocated among the funds based
upon relative net assets.  In all other respects, expenses are charged to each
fund as incurred on a specific identification basis.
 
  Pursuant to the custodian agreement, each fund within the series receives
credits against its custodian fee for imputed interest on certain balances with
the custodian bank.  Custodian fees for the series aggregated $878,000 of which
$11,000 was paid by these credits rather than in cash.  
 
2.  It is the series' policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gain on
investments, to its shareholders.  Therefore, no federal income tax provision
is required.  There was no difference between book and tax realized gains on
securities transactions for the six months ended May 31, 1995.  The U.S.
Government/AAA-Rated Securities Fund has available at May 31, 1995 net capital
loss carryforwards totaling $4,407,000, which may be used to offset capital
gains realized during subsequent years through November 30, 2002.  For book and
federal income tax purposes, the amounts of unrealized appreciation and
depreciation and the cost of portfolio securities at May 31, 1995 were as
follows:

3.  The fees for management services were paid pursuant to an agreement with
Capital Research and Management Company (CRMC), with which certain officers and
Trustees of the series are affiliated.  The Investment Advisory and Service
Agreement provides for monthly fees, accrued daily, based on the following
annual rates: Growth Fund - 0.60% of the first $30 million of average net
assets; 0.50% of such assets in excess of $30 million but not exceeding $600
million; 0.45% of such assets in excess of $600 million but not exceeding $1.2
billion; 0.42% of such assets in excess of $1.2 billion but not exceeding $2.0
billion; and 0.37% of such assets in excess of $2.0 billion; Growth-Income Fund
- 0.60% of the first $30 million of average net assets; 0.50% of such assets in
excess of $30 million but not exceeding $600 million; 0.45% of such assets in
excess of $600 million but not exceeding $1.5 billion; 0.40% of such assets in
excess of $1.5 billion but not exceeding $2.5 billion; and 0.32% of such assets
in excess of $2.5 billion; Asset Allocation Fund - 0.60% of the first $30
million of average net assets; 0.50% of such assets in excess of $30 million
but not exceeding $600 million; and 0.42% of such assets in excess of $600
million; High-Yield Bond Fund - 0.60% of the first $30 million of average net
assets; 0.50% of such assets in excess of $30 million but not exceeding $600
million; and 0.46% of such assets in excess of $600 million; U.S.
Government/AAA-Rated Securities Fund - 0.60% of the first $30 million of
average net assets; 0.50% of such assets in excess of $30 million but not
exceeding $600 million; and 0.40% of such assets in excess of $600 million;
Cash Management Fund - 0.50% of the first $100 million of average net assets;
0.42% of such assets in excess of $100 million but not exceeding $400 million;
and 0.38% of such assets in excess of $400 million. For the International Fund,
the Board of Trustees has approved an amended Investment Advisory and Service
Agreement containing a reduced fee schedule. Effective December 1, 1994, the
amended agreement provides for reduced fees at the following annual rates:
0.90% of the first $60 million of average net assets; 0.78% of such assets in
excess of $60 million but not exceeding $600 million; 0.60% of such assets in
excess of $600 million but not exceeding $1.2 billion; 0.48% of such assets in
excess of $1.2 billion but not exceeding $2 billion; and 0.465% of such assets
in excess of $2 billion.
 
  Trustees of the series who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer part
or all of the fees earned for services as members of the board.  Amounts
deferred are not funded and are general unsecured liabilities of the series. As
of May 31, 1995, aggregate amounts deferred were $28,000.
